West Wing Cafe - Foccacia Turkey Sandwich

Today, I wanted something different so in my walking around, I stumbled on this shop on 20th St, NW called West Wing Cafe. They have a great little sandwich area in the back with dozens of choices and even a soup bar up front. The cafe also offers a variety of chips and snacks (including gluten free) and many beverage choices. This afternoon, I tried the Foccacia Turkey sandwich.

 

 

This sandwich comes with lettuce, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, and chive cream cheese (all of these ingredients were very fresh, by the way). I added a little honey mustard and I thought it was fantastic. I actually could not finish the sandwich. I'll be eating the rest tomorrow and I'll see if my co-worker can find another Captain Cookie sighting :-)

Very tasty, but a little overpriced. Welcome to DC!!!

Captain Cookie

Today I was gifted a chocolate chip cookie from the Captain Cookie and Milkman truck. I almost forgot to take a picture and had to stop in the middle of my devouring in order to do so (no easy task!). The cookie legitimately did the slow moo gooey awesomeness when you broke it apart. This was the perfect combination of crunchy and gooey with an excellent ratio of chocolate to cookie as well as even distribution of chocolate so that each bite was as delicious as the one before. I wish I had more.....

Corner Bakery - Poblano Chicken Sandwich

 

This sandwich has a healthy serving of homemade chicken (no processed meat) on top of lettuce, avocado, jicama slaw and roasted red peppers and swiss cheese on an artisan bun. I'm not a huge avocado fan (only if the chunks are cut up in salsa) so I took them off of my sandwich after the first bite. I did appreciate everything else. And shout-out to the cook who put like 3 slices of cheese on the sandwich! I added some dijon mustard and mayo since it otherwise seemed bare, but all-in-all, its a great sandwich and I would buy it again.
