King Street Cafe

Wandered in while looking for a good egg sandwich. Was hoping to find a «good dive» and this hit the nail on the head! Great prices, delicious breakfast sandwich, and personality!

Tried the food at this café as my colleagues and friends recommended it to me as a good place to pick up a quick meal.
Have ordered food items there for breakfast like their bacon, egg, cheese on a toasted croissant to go, and it was decent and filling. Also, tried their version of bimbimbap and bulgogi as they have their *special* Wednesdays thru Fridays lunch options to go.
The bimbimbap was fine (the accompanying bean paste was a little too sweet for me), but not quite unique as I’ve had worst and I’ve had better, but their bulgogi to go (comes with rice) was worth the wait in line. The prices may be a tad bit higher than other places comparable in the area and they are popular during the lunch hour. So, you may have to wait a few minutes in line for your order. Overall, I preferred their sandwiches
The staff here (the counter ladies Marisol and Yolanda as well as the manager) are quick to fix your food to go, and very friendly and quirky and can handle conversations as they fix your food over the oven or over the counter. Paid parking in the back and on the front street. I can tell lots of business locals come here.
Gonna try their chipotle chicken sandwich next when I come in. Looks interesting.

Delicious food, great prices, and super-​friendly service! So glad my wife and I finally decided to come here. We both got the ham & cheese omelette with an everything bagel. Highly recommended.

Very good place for breakfast. Good bagel and egg sandwiches. Very good home fries. Not a very big space at all but the staff and owner are very friendly and helpful. I have been looking for a quick and easy breakfast joint in Alexandria and expect this will become one of my regulars. It looks like the lunch options are interesting and likely quite good.

I a nice little place to get a quick and inexpensive breakfast.
They have self serve coffee & today it was french roast which was quite good.
Me, James, Dora & SJ stopped in for a quick bite before getting on the road.
A western omelet, bagel & chicken burrito… all quite good.
It’s a tiny place with only one four top & several two tops.
The two ladies who run it are really nice.
There are lots of fancier places they have bread/​bagels etc but this place will cook to order.

My boyfriend and I went here the other day and we ordered the Ruben with the corned beef sandwich as well as the BLT (don’t judge! haha). They were both amazing! Everything tasted super fresh! The cooks greeted us as we walked in and were happy to take our orders. I am super picky and my orders normally contain a special request. My sandwich was correct and delicious. I cannot wait to go back there again!

Not the prettiest little café but the food was tasty! My husband got pancakes, eggs and bacon and I had an egg sandwich. Both were great including my banana and strawberry smoothie. Avoid the coffee — taste like poop. Stale and old tasting.

We were hungry so we went into this café on King St. We were surprised to see that it offered some Korean dishes. My husband had the bibimbop and son had the bulgogi. I think I had the falafel but I wished I had ordered the Korean dish. It is a small café and the bathroom is tiny. The customer service was good and the owner seemed sweet.

Many people who are reviewing this place are reviewing it based on the wrong criteria. This is in my opinion a greesy spoon diner and should try to cater more to that crowd. True the Old Town crowd wants their organic food and their wraps and vegtables but some of us miss a good New York diner where you can get greesy breakfast that helps you get over a hangover.
I am from Long Island and I miss a diner at 4AM for greesy eggs bacon and sausage and this place is not exactly like that but one of the closest you will come to in Old Town. I like that Old Town has at least one place that still does not cater exclusivly to the tofu crowd and will give you fat, sodium and greese if thats what you want.
I liked the breakfast sanwitches on bagel and extra greese please for those days when thats what I want. It’s a small no frills place but thats fine because I am tired of paying for the places décor and to me it’s the taste of the food not how it looks inside.
The minisis are a few. The bagels are from a bag and to me thats just wrong. They should try to get bread that was made in the past 24 hours. On Long Island you can go to a bagel joint at 5AM and get a freshly made hot bagel with eggs, sausage and cheese on it for the same amount as you can get the same thing here. Must fresher bread but I understannd Nothern Virginia is not Long Island NY. And another grip is they are closed on Sundays. This I cannot compehend because thats one of the biggest breakfast days or the week so wh be closed. A business has to cator to it’s customers not itself and this to me is just wrong. I say 2.5 star but would have given it 3 or 3.5 but closed on Sunday is just asinine to me and no reason for it. This is a breakfast place so don’t close on the one day people want to eat out for breakfast.

Amazing quick and fresh spot with the nicest owners. I got the primo veggie wrap with chicken salad. Can’t go wrong!

My boss treated me to lunch with these cats and he called me I went online searched for their menu and got the steak and cheese. Assuming there were chips a drink included nawwww… He called me back asked what I wanted on it only told him what I didn’t want aaaaaand of course I got what I didn’t want all up and through there…
Who puts green peppers on steak and cheese anyway … Small amount of meat good fresh taste though despite picking the green peppers out.

Great place to come every Saturday morning to get a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. The two ladies behind the counter are very friendly and very quick. I go there routinely for my weekend breakfast-​I just wish they were open on Sunday mornings too!

This is a family owned business. They are fast, and the sandwiches are good. The omelets are really good in the morning. I love the New Yorker sandwich. If you want a fast breakfast to take-​out, or a quick sandwich, this is a good place on King Street.

My office moved right down the street from this place about a year ago and decided to try it out just by waking passed it.
I didn’t expect this to be my regular lunch spot at first glance, but I was very impressed with my first visit.
I ordered their special and was pretty floored that the taste to price ratio was 5 to 1, if that makes any sense.
I now go regularly and definitely look forward to the Wednesday-​Friday specials since they serve Korean bulgogi and bibimbap (bibimBOOM), I didn’t know what bibimbap was till this place, but it has been added to my top 5 favorites.
I recommend this place to anyone. Great food, healthy options are available (which I haven’t tried much of) and the sevice is super quick. The Korean lady is always so happy, I can tell she loves running the place… or she’s just really good at faking a smile

Really charming joint. Surprisingly delicious cheesesteak. Fast, friendly service.

Stopped here for a quick bite before exploring Old Town. Friendly greeting immediately upon entering. There’re a lot of good choices to choose from when it comes to sandwiches, and since the boyfriend and I were having a hard time deciding, they recommended their special, which was a Chipotle Chicken Wrap.
Service was quick and portion size was great! Delicious too. We gobbled our wraps right down.
The place is quite small with only a few small tables, so not good for big sit down groups. It’s really one of those awesome, small mom and pop shops.
Prices are awesome. Overall, I’m a fan.

First time here and we ordered the bulgogi with rice. Someone in our group got the chipotle chicken wrap. Overall we enjoyed the food from here but it was a little pricey. The customer service was on point and the food came out relatively quick so definitely a good option if you’re on lunch break. They have cool beverage options so have a peek!
I would definitely come back to try something else from their menu.
Note: The owner/​staff was very kind to let us know that we shouldn’t tip our container that held our bulgogi with rice because the sauce might spill out. Good to know!

Reasonably priced for the area, delicious breakfast, Friendly employees.
I’m to the point, my review is short, so this is just filler so it’ll post because Unilocal is silly.

I absolutely love Mi Soon’s restaurant. The food is amazing… unfortunately, I have a hard time getting there for lunch, especially on her Korean menu days. I go for brunch most times and lunch when I’m around.
Breakfast and brunch are made to order at unbeatable prices in record time. I love the omelettes and pancakes. Usually get the western.
The chipotle chicken sandwich is one of the top five best sandwiches I’ve ever had… lots of flavor and fresh ingredients.
She makes things fresh, remembers so many people’s names and even their orders. Makes you feel like you’re right at home. She makes supporting local businesses over the chains a no-​brainer.
Hands down, this is my favorite restaurant on King Street… the food is great, but the owner is superb.

Wandered around old town and found this little gem. The atmosphere is quaint for its a hole in the wall type shop, but its the menu and people that really sets this place apart. They have an eclectic selection with a heavy focus on sandwiches and wraps; perfect for a quick lunch. I got the New Yorker on a sub roll, a hot sandwich, and it was delicious. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but the fresh ingredients are note worthy. I asked her to add onion and tomato and watched her cut them up right before adding them.
Though the food was good, the thing that really set this place apart was the «at-​home» charm I felt from the owners hospitality. I felt like I was sitting in my mom’s kitchen with the way the two women who were working served us. I had requested to for the New Yorker to be on a sub roll rather than the toasted rye, but it was served on the rye. The woman promptly made another sandwich and handed it to me; she didn’t request for the other sandwich back or ask me to throw it away as many places do. They also, inquired if we needed anything and brought us napkins when they saw my buddy dribble russian dressing on his shirt; it’s the little things.
Overall, good food for a great price and wonderful hospitality! I would definitely recommend stopping in for a bite if you’re in the area.
