General Info

Tucked along 1425 S Eads St, Arlington, VA 22202, United States, Paramount Café brings a relaxed Asian restaurant experience to the neighborhood. From the moment you step inside, the place feels welcoming and easygoing. The dining room has the casual energy of a neighborhood café, where locals stop by for breakfast, quick lunches, or laid-back dinners with friends. The location is convenient, and the menu offers a thoughtful mix of comforting sandwiches and Asian-inspired bites that keep regulars coming back.

One thing that stands out immediately when browsing the menu is the variety. Paramount Café doesn’t try to overwhelm you with endless options; instead, it focuses on dishes that feel satisfying and familiar. A personal favorite is the Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT. The balance between the roasted turkey, creamy avocado, and crispy bacon makes every bite feel hearty without being too heavy. Another standout is the Club Focaccia, layered generously and served warm, making it a great option if you’re looking for something filling during lunch.

The café also leans into bold flavors with dishes like the Lamb Gyro, which delivers a savory combination of tender meat and fresh ingredients wrapped together perfectly. If you’re craving something simple but reliable, the Turkey Sandwich is another popular pick. It’s the kind of classic sandwich that reminds you why simple ingredients done right can still be incredibly satisfying.

Breakfast here has its own charm as well. Early visitors often start their day with something light from the menu before grabbing coffee and settling into a quiet corner. And if you have a sweet tooth, the hot Portuguese egg tart 3pc (蛋挞3个) is worth trying. Fresh out of the oven, these warm pastries bring a delicate balance of flaky crust and creamy filling that feels like the perfect treat after a meal.

Beyond the food, Paramount Café offers services that make dining convenient and comfortable. Delivery is available for days when you’d rather enjoy your meal at home. The café also accepts reservations, which helps during busier hours. Families often appreciate that the space is good for kids, and the menu includes healthy options, making it easier for everyone in the group to find something they enjoy.

The overall experience feels relaxed yet reliable. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick breakfast, ordering delivery on a busy weekday, or sitting down to explore more of the menu, Paramount Café maintains a friendly atmosphere that fits perfectly into the Arlington dining scene. Regulars often mention the consistent flavors, welcoming service, and convenient location in their reviews, which is exactly what makes neighborhood diners like this one stand out.

What customers say?

“ This is an awesome little deli inside a small convenient store. The prices are pretty low, but I think that's because the sandwiches aren't very big. It was the perfect size for lunch though. We were told breakfast hours on Saturday are flexible if you want to order later than 11:00 AM and that the eggs are fresh cracked, not carton. The sandwich tasted really good. ”

“ As a Chinese, I enjoyed the wonton soup here. Might be back for other dishes. The staff is super nice. The dining room is like typical deli style. There are mini Chinese markets by the kitchen area. ”

“ Need a quick bite to eat?! The menu had every possible sandwich you could think of. We got the mozzarella pesto and the one shown in photos. They were tasty, wholesome and freshly made while waiting. She also had an abundance of toiletries and stuff like feminine products, gift bags, international snacks and more. Her genuine demeanor was so very much appreciated. I definitely had a pleasant experience with this establishment and the service was great. The only thing I recommend is a clear indication of where it’s located. While using google maps it proceeded to take me past the building and then I saw a white sign on the ground behind a bush. Support this small business!! ”

“ Great option for lunch if you’re at the office! We got the braised pork over rice ($15~) & the pork burger (~$8). ”

- Tina Nguyen -

“ This place reopened under new ownership in September 2024. Still the same great sandwich shop and some new things. They’re open for breakfast now! Right now they have fresh made Chinese egg tarts that are awesome ”

“ I stopped by this cute little café today after my dentist appointment. The two ladies that were working were both super sweet and kind. The bread on this vegetarian sandwich is so soft and delicious. You can really tell that they put love into the food and drinks they create. I’m so happy I found this place! Their prices are totally affordable too. ”
