Great little breakfast and lunch Cafe. My family and I were in Old Alexandria right on King St for vacation. There were plenty of options to eat within walking distance. King Street Cafe was great. They were pleasant, fast and the food was great. We got egg, cheese and sausage sandwiches and we sat inside. The inside is cozy, but efficient. Everything was clean and the owner spoke to us personally and told us about her lovely cafe. When we come back to the DMV, we will definitely go back to King Street Cafe.

Definitely a favorite in Alexandria. Delicious sandwiches and unbeatable prices. King Street hot sandwich is 10/10.

Good food, fair price. New favorite (especially since Old Town Deli was replaced with a breakfast-less chain).

Perfect little Cafe tucked into the middle of a King St block. Although I only bought a bagel I saw other patrons' orders and could tell, and smell, how good it was. Nice staff.

Atmosphere was depressing and service was average. Just buying some sandwhiches.
The price was more than I expected I ordered 3 sandwhiches and a juice and it came out to 45$. Not insane considering prices these days but for how dumpy the place is I was hoping to walk out paying 35$ tops.
That said, the King Street sandwich was fantastic. The Cali club was average but healthy portions. The food was ready when I arrived in 15 minutes and was still warm.
I’d come back again for the king street sandwhich (pictured below) but otherwise not really worth the price IMO.
If these came out to 10$ a piece with tax, this place would be outstanding.

Love this place! It was my first time here (visiting the area) and I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. The bagel was perfect (a little crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside). The bacon/egg/cheese was perfectly cooked and the flavors were robust and satisfying. It’s a cozy and friendly atmosphere. Definitely want to go here again and try new things too! 😊

Walk in, order from the counter and breakfast is served on styrofoam, with plastic utensils. We were hoping for a place with full service, but stumbled in here. Styrofoam service is not bad, if the tastes are good. Price is right!

My over easy eggs were cooked just right, bacon just the right amount of crispy. Bonus points for no frozen butter and no cold syrup for my french toast.

Good place for quick breakfast!

Amazing little hole in the wall on King Street for breakfast and lunch. Its cheap, its good, and everyone working there is so nice. Also, if you ask, she will make a combination of whatever you want (see Turkey egg and cheese croissant attached). Also, they have really good smoothies! The Best Breakfast and lunch in old town by far!
