Reviews for Del Ray Café in Alexandria, VA
While the people working here are lovely, the food (breakfast at least) is very overpriced and underwhelming. The crabcake in... the benedict was brown , the veggies were undercooked, the fruit was all the straight from the can (10000% not fresh at all).The granola parfait was covered in syrup and super sugary. We had a piece of glass we bit into when eating pancakes and showedit to the waiter who goes "oh it's not glass, just plastic". However they were incredibly apologetic and comped the meal andbrought us free dessert on the house. The dessert was the best part of the meal by far. Read more
Parking was a little hard to fine but it wasn?t that bad. The menu is was formatted in a way that was very difficult to read. It... took my friends and I a little longer than usual to figure out what we wanted. All the staff and servers were really friendlyand helpful. I got their SOS chipped beef, presentation wise it was kinda ugly but it tasted really good so I don?t mind.Overall it was a good experience and my friends and I will come back. Read more
This a great breakfast/brunch place. The service and the food were great. The salmon and crab benedict were delicious and quite... special with the croissant base. The chouquette dessert was the cherry on top of an amazing meal, fluffy fresh and delicious.The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. Read more
Really fun place for a weekend brunch. We came without a reservation on a Sunday morning. Said it would be 20 minutes, but had... us seated in 6. Staff was friendly. Menu was diverse and had plenty of options, vegan gluten free etc. We sat out on the patio,which was closed and heated, and even on a cold day was very comfortable. The food was all delicious and it had a very goodatmosphere/vibe. We would definitely recommend, and will be coming back! Read more
Was greeted by a lovely young woman at the front door and seated right away. Ordered the Benedict and a latte and it was at my... table within ten minutes. Beautifully plated and everything was delicious. Latte was piping hot. Waitstaff was busy but stillwas attentive and very kind. Had a manager stop by and ask how my food was as well which I always find to be a nice touch whenthey do the rounds and check in. Read more
What are you waiting for? If you have not tried Del Ray Cafe, you are missing out! Our neighbors raved about this place and we... never made it a point to try it? until now. We decided to take company there. What a hit! The menu has something for everyone. Farm to table. The food was incredible! Go! You will not be disappointed! Read more
This is a cute neighborhood restaurant, with great service and delicious food. ???? we wished we ordered the French toast (so... if you have sweet tooth, you should consider it). I ordered extra cheese on my omelet and it was just the right amount ofcheese! The menu has several appealing food options that you won't regret the visit Read more
Came here for a quick brunch/breakfast on a Wednesday and it was fantastic! A very cool spot nestled into a residential street... in Alexandria. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the food was very tasty! I got the lobster eggs benedict which was thespecial for that day, and it was very tasty. Only downside is that meal was actually pretty cold (at least, the lobster was).But the flavors were great and I was very hungry, so I didn't worry about mentioning it. Read more
