" Café Alice has a great selection of sandwiches and salads. Although I found some menu items a little overpriced for what they are, I appreciate that everything is fresh and made to order. The ambiance is also a good mix of quick service and casual dining. Worth checking out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I genuinely think Café Alice has a lot to offer. Their menu features interesting combinations, but what caught my attention was how fresh everything tasted. I eventually settled on the chicken sandwich, which was juicy and well-seasoned. It's a nice spot, but I recommend avoiding the lunch rush hour for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Café Alice while exploring during my visit to DC, and I must say, it is a gem! The breakfast burrito was the best I've ever had, loaded with fresh ingredients, and bursting with flavor. The staff was attentive and friendly, making my experience even better. The atmosphere was lively yet calming at the same time, creating a perfect backdrop for a satisfying meal. I’ll surely return whenever I’m in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best breakfast I've had in a while! Tried the breakfast burrito and was blown away. Fresh ingredients and plenty of flavor. I appreciate that they prepare everything in-house right in front of you. The vibe is very chill, making it the perfect morning spot. I'll definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Café Alice, given the rave reviews, but my experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. The service was okay but not stellar, with some mix-ups in orders. On the other hand, the food was fresh and flavorful, so I may give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a quite disappointing experience at Café Alice. While the place has great potential with its menu, I found the service lacking. The sandwich I ordered ended up being incorrect, and the staff didn't seem interested in resolving the issue. The food's freshness was evident; however, the experience soured due to poor service. I think there are better options around, but who knows, maybe they'll improve their service. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to dine at Café Alice during a recent business trip, and the experience was delightful. The egg and cheese on ciabatta is a must-try! I loved how they prepare everything right in front of you, ensuring freshness. The café was clean and aesthetically pleasing, making the meal all the more enjoyable. However, the server seemed a bit distracted. Nonetheless, I would recommend Café Alice to anyone looking for tasty food in a friendly atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)
