Quite possibly the best panini I’ve ever had. For the Roast Beef Panini, it came down to the crispy, crunchy bread, which definitely tasted homemade. I debated getting another… The workers and owner were very nice and accommodating to the group I was with. My only suggestion is making “paninis” more prominent on the menu wall because it’s the first thing you see when you walk in.

I ordered their panini's because my boss brought them onto his jet last time we were in town. He loved them so much he asked to have them again this trip. The fillings are fresh and the spreads very flavourtful! The owner brought my order to my hotel for me so A+ for customer service!!!

One of my top three dining experiences while visiting the WDC area! Service was super friendly and the food was tops! Thank you, Georgetown Gourmet.

Picked up a panini and grabbed a tall boy from the little liquor store nextdoor then headed down to Georgetown Waterfront Park for a fabulous solo lunch. I was bummed to fine corned beef was not available so my dreams of a tasty Reuben would have to satisfied by the chicken caprese panini. The chicken is roasted in-house but was a little dry and lacked flavor. A little salt would have saved it. The ciabatta was excellent though. Super friendly staff.
