Metroplace Cafe — Restaurant in Virginia

Metroplace Cafe in Vienna is one of those under-the-radar spots that delivers. When I say under-the-radar, I mean it. I have lived in the area and commuted past this office building for 30 years and never knew it had a cafe. If it wasn't for the recommendation of a friend, I still wouldn't know about it.

It’s a no-frills deli that kinda reminds me of a school cafeteria but with a surprisingly wide menu and seriously good prices. They even have some Korean dishes. We tried the reuben, the cheesesteak, and the California chicken panini — all freshly made and really solid. Nothing fancy, just honest, tasty food.

What really sets the place apart is Ben, the owner. He’s incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he cares about every customer who walks in. He also happens to specialize randomly in espresso drinks that would make James Hoffmann proud. Ben gave us latte, cappuccino, chai, espresso, and I forgot the rest to sample, all good. It’s rare to find that kind of coffee in a casual spot like this.

Great hidden gem across from Dunn Loring Metro. Fresh salad and sandwiches, hot & cold. Soup in the winter. I've tried a few things across the menu, but I have my favorites: chicken veggie soup, turkey club, steak & cheese, crispy chicken cutlet sandwich. Most sandwiches can get made as wraps. I have been coming to this place for years, the food is consistently tasty & fresh, made before your eyes if you stay by the counter.

This place has remained open for takeout of breakfast and lunch during this COVID-19 fiasco. Great folks that deserve our local...

This place is a hidden gem! The food is made from scratch. The owner offers an outstanding customer service and the food is excellent. Ask her about her homemade sauces to compliment your food! Let me tell you, you don't know churros until you eat...
