Organic To Go Is Open (1311 F St NW)

Posted by pqresident
August 13, 2008

Organic To Go, an organic certified casual cafe, is now open at 1311 F Street, NW. We stopped by briefly to check it out one morning and found a very inviting interior including a nicely laid out, delicious looking salad bar many feet in length, a carpeted lounge-like eating area with a faux rattan/bamboo theme and free Wi-Fi Internet access. You’ll find a counter in the back with staff available to make you a breakfast or lunch sandwich and a refrigerated case filled with prepped foods and drinks lines the right wall. This first stop was just a drink stop but the organic pizza and the Reed’s Ginger Brew caught our eye for the next visit. Not shown in the photo above, they offer outdoor seating and will cater.

OTG plans to open four other locations around DC, the closest findable at 927 15th Street, NW (McPherson Square). They are not open on Sunday.

I believe this company bought High Noon, so all the High Noon’s will be switching (as this location did).

GOOD. High Noon was owned by Balducci’s and the chicken was fake. (As an allergic consumer, I know this for a fact, I’ve seen the package and half of it is soy based.)

They also deliver. I’ve been pretty happy with the few things that I have had from there. And the delivery has been a god send for my office.

I work above it. Very expensive for a quick lunch — and slower-than-before-the-conversion service. Although the decor is nice, there way fewer tables inside.

I got a terrific salad from the salad bar last week. Prices seem comparable to what I pay for lunch from ABP, Cosi, Cafe Phillips, etc.

Note that they are open on Saturdays until 3, so this is a good option for weekend lunch .. the seating area there should be very comfortable when its not full of weekday lunch crowds!

I have not been to this location but did go to the new 15th and K location yesterday. The food was quite good and the people very friendly. The decor is pleasing and comfy. Some items seem high priced but I think you can get lesser expernsive things if you look for them. Overall I would say it is worth checking out.
