Blessing Cafe — Restaurant in Tysons

Found this place on Yelp today while waiting for my Dad's car to be ready and it surpassed my expectations. The lady operating the cashier (and maybe the owner/GM?) had an air about her that was infectiously positive. Maybe it was the fact that she sang every word in response to our order (she also has a great voice, which def helps; if I sang at work I think the public response would be altogether different) or her attentiveness to every group of customers in (and seated outside on the patio) of her cafe. But in any event, it was a nice refrain from a regular, low energy interaction you typically have at a lunch spot.

We ordered the Chicken Philly and the Chicken Salad Sandwich (today's special) on rye. My chicken Philly was well cooked and seasoned and accompanied by delicious and fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. The chicken salad was fresh and sandwiched between two perfectly toasted pieces of the bread. If I had a complaint, it would be that the bread was a bit soft (for a hoagie, I prefer a hard roll). The Chicken Philly was so good I ordered a Korean Chicken sandwich and fries just to try another dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned/breaded - so crispy on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside - and topped with a Korean slaw and sweet Korean sauce. I liked the Chicken Philly better but both were delicious and would be a welcome lunch order on most days.

I look forward to returning to try more of the menu and to maybe join in on the...

Blessings Cafe has always been my go-to place for lunch at work. The employees are incredibly cheerful, the space is welcoming, and the food is delicious!

Blessings Cafe just did a big renovation and re-opened August 6th, and the renovation looks FANTASTIC! I love the new tile decor, and they have added on some new items to their menu they're trying out (the Stack [breakfast], Yogurt & Granola, Hummus Chicken Wrap, Italian Hero cold sandwich, and Turkey Pesto cold sandwich [different from the panini]). They also now have pastries from Fresh Baguette, yum! And a new coffee menu that looks fabulous, though I don't drink coffee so can't chime in on how delicious I'm sure it is. And they still have fresh-baked warm cookies any time!

The new seating layout is fantastic and makes much more sense for the cafe, in my opinion - allows people to wait off to the side when things get crowded for lunch time, and people can come and relax here and enjoy a meal more comfortably than before.

I absolutely love this family-owned business!

They also allow you to order all your food ahead of time for pick-up on their website (except the pastries).

And if you get food to go, they leave little smiley faces on your box. :) Just a little extra blessing to send you...

After living in the area for many years, my husband accidentally found this little cafe on our day off this morning.

My daughter and I loved the Chicken Teriyaki and Rice there. She usually doesn’t finish her meals but this time she even got upset that daddy ate a piece of chicken! We overheard that they make all of their sauce fresh in the house.

Also we just had a new baby and this morning had unfortunately been a bit tough. The owner, Dan, showed us many kind gestures that changed our day for the better. I mentioned to him that he reminded my husband and I of a friend. He responded that you guys are welcome here at any time and we can be...
