Great sandwiches and lunch combos! Had the steak and cheese which was delicious! Looking forward to trying out the other sandwiches and lunch specials! Owner is super nice!

I really appreciate this neighborhood bodega! The staff is extremely friendly and there are a lot of different food options here. I order the garden salad and add tuna salad, and I find it to be delicious. Pro tip: don't order online the prices are marked up. Call ahead and order, you'll save a few bucks!

I ordered the KBBQ sandwich online for lunch. It was tasty and reasonably priced for this area. Essentially all the food options in Ballston Quarter are $15-20+ which is ridiculous to spend on lunch. This place has options for everyone including vegetarians. The sandwich had good flavor and texture. I might suggest a thicker sub roll as the sauce and other juices from cooking made the roll soggy pretty quickly. I'd come here again though!

Great place to grab a steak and cheese! Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu.

This is a perfect little breakfast-lunch-coffee spot tucked underneath a Ballston condo near the Metro. The service is fast and gracious, the menu amazingly varied for such a compact restaurant, including bibimbop and bulgogi. Somewhat limited seating, so get there before the crowds. Why didn't I realize before that this is a superior alternative to IHOP?

Great local spot, fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and even a nice outdoor patio. This is a regular go to for me and many locals.

So I live incredibly close to Mike's Cafe and have been in the area for almost two years. I wonder how long it would take me to try Mike's and I guess today was finally the day. I was craving a sandwich, out of groceries and on a time crunch. It was either Mike's or Potbelly's but I'm glad I chose Mike's. Mike's is literally downstairs. Potbelly's would have been a trek across Welburn Square and that was too much for me. I walk by Mike's at least once a day and have never glanced inside for more than a second. But the interior is a lot more spacious than I thought with several high tops. There's also seating outside, perfect during nice summer days. They also sell "pharmacy check-out counter distractions" aka candy bars, granola bars, and other snacks that you can think of. I also saw a few Costco muffins sold individually, lol, along with a couple vending machinese filled with drinks. Overall, lots of snacks and an extensive menu -- a large list of breakfast sandwiches, subs, melts, salads, soups, and more (very much your deli cafe basics) along with Korean bento boxes. I saw that there were a bulgogi meal and bibimbap along with other Korean options. TUNA MELT - 11.99 I saw that this was the most popular option on Yelp and the person who ordered right before me got the same thing. Now, I'm normally a cold subs kind of a person, but I'm so glad I got the tuna melt with rye bread. The rye bread was toasted to perfection and every bite had a nice crunch. The turkey was grilled nicely with the melted cheddar and Swiss cheese on top. I love that they give a generous amount of avocado here which made the sandwich extra creamy (along with a bit of mayo on both slices of bread). The lettuce and tomato really helped to make the sandwich less dry. Overall, a very balanced sandwich with lots of ingredients. I thought I was only going to eat half of it and save the other half for dinner, but I ended up eating the whole thing because it was very good. I was very satisfied with my sandwich because it was tasty and went beyond my expectations (to be fair, it was kind of low). I'm glad I was able to try Mike's after living here for awhile. Maybe I'll stop by again before I move, but the timing needs to be right.

Great place to pick up a sandwich!! I stopped by at lunch and ordered a steak and cheese and it was delicious. The ingredients tasted fresh that it almost felt like it was a lighter version of a steak and cheese, I loved it!! They also have dirty chips here in the funky fusion flavor, I haven't had those in forever!! I recommend grabbing a bag of those chips as well! I would definitely come here again for lunch and interested in trying out some of their breakfast items.
