“Crowded and pricey, but good food and coffee that comes up quick. Good size food portions, small specialty coffee drinks. Average service, nothing special. Comfy chairs, nice quiet music. In total, worth a Sunday breakfast, but not worth going out of your way for. Plenty of similar quality places in town.“

“Used to really like this place but we were denied seating on the patio unless we had a dog. We have two young children and it is much easier to manage them outside and there was no one else out there. Thanks for the quick respons Sisters at Old Town North Alexandria you guys have been one of our favorite places and I hope we can visit again in the future.“

“Pastries are delicious, but would skip the lattes. Live in the neighborhood so have gone numerous times and am consistently disappointed with the drinks. For $5 a drink, it should be better. Grab your delicious pastries, but make your drink at home!“

“Fantastic classic coffee shop with plenty of Ryba spread out. Outdoor seating available. The kind lady at the front was very helpful as we navigated the baked good selection and we both learned the difference between vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. Although I’m not entirely sure when chocolate chip cookie became so complicated but the gluten free one was delicious! Cappuccino was great quality.“

“I stopped by recently and was helped by Margarita. She gave me the best experience! She walked me through the menu, explained her favorites, and taught me how to make a rewards account! I ordered the Strawberry Passion smoothie and it was amazing! I highly recommend South Block Old Town and make sure you say hi to Margarita. Bill W.“

“Solid service, great drinks, I'm in here at least twice a week. I think their boba are about the best in the area, they're usually very fresh. When they didn't have something I ordered on the app once, the young man working the counter went out of his way to make me something I'd like as an alternative. My only complaint is how expensive they are.“

“The pupusas and tacos are a must. They're probably some of the better tacos you can get around the Landmark area. I did order their Birria Fries, and I had mixed feelings. The meet and toppings themselves were delicious; however, the fries were soggy and actually cold. I would definitely have enjoyed it way more if it was hot and crispy.I've also had the Birria tacos and Birria ramen during another visit. I'd definitely recommend them!“

“By far the best coffee you will ever have. Great atmosphere at both locations. Wonderful fresh coffee beans to purchase. Pastries and baked good galore. Stop by. You'll be glad you did.“

“Wonderful ministry of St Louis Catholic Church. I found this cafe on Google Maps and stopped in. The volunteers there were so friendly and helpful. The coffee and breakfast they serve is very good! Since it is a ministry, you donate as you are able. Will definitely be back!“

“My visit to Starbucks was great. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made for a pleasant ambiance. The coffee was as fantastic as always, and the consistent quality keeps me coming back. I wish they kept the Pumpkin Spice Latte all year long.“

“We made a quick stop for breakfast on our drive down from NJ. Since it's Mother's Day, stopping at a sit down restaurant wasn't going to happen. We ended up in a comfortable booth with a delicious breakfast and coffee...it was perfect. The service was friendly and quick, too!!Kid-friendliness: We had our 10 month old and 4 year old with us in our booth, and it worked out perfectly!!“

“Ok so here's the skinny: I think the only drink I have gotten here that I liked was the hot chocolate. Unfortunately, and I hope to be proven wrong at some point, I just think they burn their coffee and espresso and it makes the coffee drinks unpleasant to consume. You can definitely taste the burnt coffee grounds, even in lattes. And I want to like this place because it's so insanely convenient--I just can't get behind their treatment of the coffee grounds.However, everyone is very lovely and friendly, and their food is delicious! I believe they're prone to forgetting orders at times, but I can't say I wouldn't forget items during a coffee house rush hour so I can forgive that. All in all, I'm definitely going to patronize, but it would never be my first choice for caffeine-intake.“

“Has always been my FAVORITE cupcake/bakery ever! Since you were over in pentagon row, I would make the drive from Springfield to pentagon row many many times! Thank you for always making these memories so awesome!“
