Review from Joe G.

WOW Cafe is great for a while, but its easy to tire of their menu selections. If you just want a snack this is not the place to go, everything is HUGE, and almost everything is a bit pricey.
Service isn't consistently great or poor, sometimes you're in and out in a flash, and other times it takes a half-hour to throw some broccoli into some pasta with garlic and oil. Not that I'm "dissing" the pasta, the "lunch pasta" is probably the best deal in the whole place.
Basically WOW is good for about two-weeks before you tire of it. But you'll love those two weeks. -

I bet the person making my "Ten Vegetable Salad" at the WOW Cafe this afternoon thought "Oh, I'll just skip the hearts of palm. He'll never notice..."
But you know what? I did notice. And I missed them. -

This place has the worst service and their food taste old and dry. How can you go wrong with a ham egg and cheese sandwich? The egg was so dry, the bread was hard and the ham had the texture of bacon. The coffee was awful. Never again, I feel like they should of payed me to eat their food.

I used to work right down the block from this place about a year and a half ago. I probably went there twice a week for lunch. I love their pasta lunch special for $6.99. I would get Linguini + Vodka Sauce + Fresh Mozzarella and then I'd get an Earl Grey tea to go with it. The asian owner guy was always very nice to me. I actually used to like my lunch a lot, maybe I'll go back one day. :)

An initially attractive sandwich / pasta / salad joint, a few trips to WOW Cafe are enough to realize how poorly run it is. The overpriced food takes an inordinate amount of time to put together, and they sometimes just lose track of orders, which is impressively bad in a coffee-shop-sized space without all that many customers.

Wow this place is gross. I was in the neighborhood and hungry and I thought this would be a decent place to eat. I think the zucchini bread I bought was fermenting, it had a strange sticky-ness film and texture to it and a sour taste. The salads look like a good deal, but the one I ordered was missing a couple ingredients and the sauce that came with it was dubious, in addition to the fact that it wasn't all that tasty to begin with.

I had the grilled Asian salad and it was delicious. Although I disagree about portion sizes, I think they are just right. You def can get a bigger salad at cosi for the same price but then u feel way too full. This is my first trip and I can't say I'd make a special trip to come back since I live in DC but it seems like the perfect little lunch spot (and their Ginger sesame dressing is awesome).

I usually get take out from Wow Cafe and I think maybe this time will be better - it never great ...just okay. I always think after my delivery - never again - its just not worth it. For some reason the delivery takes almost an hour or more and they never include condiments. It's really annoying to get food delivered to your office and have nothing included and have to scour around for a stupid ketchup packet and a straw.

this has gone downhill in the last couple of months.
our office ordered take out from this place last week, and they got EVERYTHING wrong. our burgers were not as described. i myself got a philly burger...the meat was dry and not tasty...worst part..there was a slice of cream cheese in it....the menu said NOTHING about cream cheese. WTF?!?!? my other co worker ordered a texas burger....but all he got was a burger with a fried egg on it....NOT WHAT THE MENU SAID IT WAS. they got all our drinks mixed up (gave us snapple when we ordered cokes). they also forgot a couple of items. we called and complained and about 20 mins later were back with the missing and correct food. the online take out menu is like 25% of what they offer in store. they make really good sandwiches, but from the menu, they didnt look to be available for delivery. wont be ordering from this place...i rather just go there and get my sandwich. one thing i hate about this place is that when its busy and they are cooking everyones order, i will always come out smelling like fried food. the smell of oil is all over my clothes.
