I went to check out Del Ray Cafe for the first time recently and I left overall satisfied. The restaurant is small, quaint, and very well kept. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the decor was nice. The menu itself has many options that I think can cater to a wide audience of people and I appreciated that. One thing to note is Del Ray Cafe offers a lot of organic options, which is a bonus, since many restaurants use foods and ingredients that are detrimental to human health. The food itself was prepared quickly and tastes great. The pancakes were delicious and so was the lamb sausage. My only recommendation would be to give customers more juice. I ordered fresh pressed orange juice and the glass it came in, was much smaller than the glass that had water. Other than that, I'll be

Excellent food. We had the Savory crepes. I had the Ham and cheese and my son had the Spinach one. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. We also ordered the chocolate beignets . Amazing with the chocolate sauce.

This cafe was such a pleasant surprise! My friend and I picked it randomly and it ended up being one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. Smooth rich coffee, homemade whipped cream, and delicious eggs Benedict. Such lovely, attentive and friendly staff. Cozy ambiance and intimate tables.

I am somewhat skeptical about sharing my experience only because I am being selfish! But, I will fight that share. This is definitely without question a treasure of Del Ray, Alexandria, Virginia.

It is now on our calendar for a weekly visit. Why? The list would be too long for this review. Bottom line? It was all about the food & service. They are just doing things other restaurants are not doing. And, as busy as they are, the staff gives you the feeling they enjoy what they do. They truly believe in why they are part of the team and the restaurant’s mission. Kudos to Abdel, the staff and owners. They care about you having the

Del Ray Cafe is a truly warm and welcoming place. From the moment you walk in, you feel at home comfortable atmosphere, tasteful details, and a genuine sense of care that makes the experience special. A very special thanks to the manager, Nader. His presence makes a real difference. Professional, kind, and attentive, he creates a positive energy that reflects on the entire team. The way he welcomes guests and ensures everything runs smoothly adds a beautiful, personal touch it feels less like a restaurant and more like visiting your own home.
