Good breakfast sandwiches and pastries. Good lunch sandwiches, too. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Service and wait times are not bad -- pretty much back to pre-pandemic levels.

Daily lunch. Chipotle Chicken Wrap for 6.25 and sometimes a coffee. Relaxing venue in the middle of the Navy Yard.
