- CollegeFashionistaJanuary 14, 2014The GW Deli is the perfect place for a quick snack in between classes. If you're like me, a snack is actually a meal you missed because your classes are super close together!
Behrad EatsNovember 9, 2015They don't mess around here, order a bacon, egg, & cheese plus avocado on an everything bagel and feast on this massive bagel!
Everything about the Deli is love. Everybody is nice, the coffee is great, and the food is unbelievable. If you are in Foggy Bottom, the Deli is your friend.- Jessica LakeAugust 8, 2019Great bagel sandwiches and deli subs. Fun selection of snacks and drinks, e.g. Zapp's Voodoo chips!
EaterMarch 17, 2016Breakfast sandwiches are the main draw. Try a turkey bacon, egg, swiss, and avocado on wheat bagel. The pickles are good too.
This is one of those places where you spend all your time in line thinking you want one thing only to get to the register and blurt out something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Egg and cheese on a kaiser roll. If you become a regular they'll get to know you and make you your order before you can order it.
Greg FitzpatrickOctober 30, 2009So far, I've had the Italian Sub (warm day) and the Pot Roast sandwich (chilly day). Both were awesome!! Just make sure you grab plenty o' napkins 'cause they stuff these suckers full..
They seem to carry Poland Spring 1L bottles ... Can't go wrong with Poland Spring
The turkey-avocado sandwich on toasted sourdough is amazing.
During the academic year, try to come during scheduled class time (when you're not in class, of course) to avoid long lines at this campus favourite.
Get a sausage egg and cheese on a French toast bagel. Salty and sweet perfectly combined.
Ay sandwich ordered with bacon comes with an absolutely OBSCENE amount of bacon. Fantastic! They also stopped charging a fee for credit and debit cards.
SWW has lunch from 12:30 to 1:30. Try to come before or after to avoid the long line!
Basically one of the only places (besides Carvings and sometimes Starbucks) that serves delicious Naked Juice.- make friends with Joe. trust me you'll need a friend on Saturday mornings
Order a chicken parm. It's not on the menu, but they'll make it and it's superb.
French toast bagel with cream cheese. I'd eat it every day if I could
ZekeJune 15, 2012Fairly certain they use an entire block of cream cheese on each cream cheese bagel.- Alexandra BrownSeptember 21, 2010Best and biggest breakfast sandwich's in Foggy Bottom, also amazing chicken salad.
Love their raspberry flavored coffee when they have it! So much cheaper than starbucks
Will KamovitchJuly 18, 2009Don't bring a credit card, they only accept cash or debit cards. Do try the fresh mozzarella sandwich.
