"Two friends and I had dinner at Maya Bistro. We were served flatbread with a black olive spread. Delicious. Two of us shared the mixed grill platter for 2 – 55.00. The platter had plenty of food and it was tasty. The other person in our group got the Maya spreads trio baba ganoush, hummus, patlican kozleme. We enjoyed the spreads on the bread. We ate a lot of bread. She also got the moussaka which she liked. Everything was well prepared especially the meat on the platter. Over cooked meat ruins it for me. The meat was not dry at all. The cook did a wonderful job. We were there for an early dinner on a weekend so there were not many people there. The restaurant was quiet. The staff were very nice and attentive."

"Peet's has the best espresso in town, but what makes this location so special are the employees. I just picked up a coffee for myself and the barista, the sweetest human ever, offered a pup cup for my dog without me even asking. If you know anything about Shirlington, you understand how much we love our dogs *and animals in general*. I didn't catch her name but just wanted to express my gratitude for how welcome they always make us feel. Thank you, your gesture made my day and definitely my pup's day :"

"I want to like this place as a local family owned business, but unfortunately can't trust their freshness and safety practices.TWICE in the last week I've gotten home with a sandwich only to find green mold on the bread I don't know how long they let things sit around, but they clearly don't monitor this. It was two different kinds of bread, and when I mentioned the first instance the person at the deli gave me a blank look English skills can be a big challenge here, and staff are often busy talking to each other.I also had a situation a few weeks ago where I got beer home, and after noticing a funny taste looked at the bottom of the can and saw it had been canned over a YEAR ago. After that, I've gone in a few times, and now check expiration dates on anything before purchasing, and have found packaged cookies and cheese on multiple occasions past their expiration date. Same reaction when I mentioned to the staff: acting like they didn't understand what I was telling them.I tried to give this local family business as many second chances as reasonable, but unfortunately, there's little interest (or ability? to change and improve. I understand higher costs are impacting everyone and throwing out product is bad, but selling past date products is much worse. After today's mold sandwich let's hope I don't get sick...not even bothering going back this time."

"Today, on June 8, 2023 at 11am, I went in for lunch. I usually enjoy mixing my pho, and this time I ordered a small pho with veggie broth, no onions, and soft tendon with crab meat. Initially, the server refused to add crab meat for some reason, but eventually relented. I also requested extra lime, which I have never had an issue with in the past. However, this time they gave me only 2 extra lime wedges, and then tried to charge me $1.00 for them. This struck me as ridiculous, especially considering my long-standing patronage. The service overall has declined, with some great servers like Tren no longer being present. The current staff members, both an older man and a young man, are not effective and even demand tips despite providing subpar service. The restaurant must consider hiring more competent individuals to improve the overall customer experience."

"Such a cute place with a wonderful menu of coffees and sandwiches, a full display of pastries like cakes and scones. The cappuccino was probably one of the smoothest I’ve ever had, I can tell the quality is top notch. The milks were also top quality and they had non dairy options like almond and oat. We orders a variety of sandwiches from the menu, including the vegan Italian sausage breakfast sandwich, which my son said was amazing! The owner was very welcoming and overall this cozy coffee shop is a gem of a place!Vegetarian options: Hummos, vegan sausage, avocado toast."
