Devon & Blakely

Nothing fancy, but a good place to get a quick, reasonably priced lunch. I had the Parmesan Chicken Salad Sandwich ($11.25) and Devon Side Salad ($5) with a large iced tea ($4). Everything was fresh and delicious.

I ordered from DoorDash. Claudia called me to ask what dressing I wanted on the side. I didn’t select. That’s up and beyond customer service. The lettuce wasn’t fresh. Kinda welted.

Very great and quick service in this branch! The lady that made my bagel was so sweet. 💕 I got an everything bagel from the breakfast stand and had it filled with eggs, turkey slices, cheese, and jalapeños. So good! 🥯 My total was only $8.25 which is pretty good for a big breakfast bagel that was filling. I highly recommend giving it a go, specially if you work around this area it’s a good choice for a quick on-the-go breakfast.

Devon and Blakely offers convenient options, but the overall experience falls short of the price point. Tables are often dirty and not maintained, which affects the atmosphere as soon as you sit down. Food quality varies and does not always match the menu’s intent. The chicken Milanese illustrates the issue. The cut is too thick, which makes it tough and not very flavorful, even when served warm. A thinner, cutlet-style preparation would suit the concept far better and allow the sandwich to be stacked properly. Several of the other sandwiches appear to sit too long, and the avocado shows visible oxidation that changes both taste and texture. The place could become a better choice with fresher ingredients, wider variety, and more attention to basic upkeep. At the moment, the value does no

On my very first visit to Washington DC, my first stop was at Devon&Blakey. I was looking for something healthy, but light on the stomach and wallet. Now, I have also never been to D&B's but I really liked how structured their business model is focused of customer choice and efficiency. With multiple employees at 1 of 4 stations I was able to quickly graze between a wide variety of very delicious looking "healthy" food. It felt like a round about, which was cool cuz by then I was really hungry!
