19 Best Cafes in Arlington

“Everything was perfect. I’ve been here several times now. Great spot in the neighborhood. Good for dinner or just drinks and apps. Menu changes often, seems to be seasonal. Great wine selection at reasonable prices. Hosts are very welcoming.“

“Fairfax Dr. that ends in its black has about 100 or more metered parking spaces and more than 50% was vacant on Saturday at 9:00am. Bottled/canned drinks available. Small iced coffee took less than 1 minute to be ready. I was able to enjoy my own music with open ear headset but I had to walk outside when I received a call because the caller couldn't hear me well.“

“I like this environment very much, it allows me to work quietly. A cafe that pays attention to the environment and the quality of the coffee is good, I believe they will get better and better in the future. Reviews from Arlington residents.“

“Great place for coffee, croissants, wonderful vibe and music“

“Decided to check Cafe Sushi Garden out today because I really wanted sushi but I didn’t want to go far, so I walked over and I was very happy and satisfied I went! It’s a small and cozy space with a good variety of different sushi at a very reasonably price. The owner and sushi chef was very kind and friendly. Highly recommend and will be back.“

“Tried for the first time and was blown away. So good.“

“Great Sandwiches and Conversation!!!“

“Held my Monday meet up for my campaign for State Senate here this morning Such a beautiful venue adorned with sunflowers hanging from the ceiling! Their Nitro Cold Brew is great! Even the pup tried to take a sip ☺️ Visit www.Sophia4VA.com for our next coffee gathering!“

“The only reason I don't give Simona a five is because it's a hard place to work. The Wi-Fi today has gone out repeatedly, the speakers as well (one will go out so you hear music far off and then back on right in your ear - very distracting), and (if you sit inside at least) the noise from the counter and fellow patrons is both inescapable and intelligible, not easy to ignore background. It's not a bad place to read or do non-laptop work on the outside patio, which has both covered and uncovered portions and is very nice on a sunny day, but I learned from my one time trying to get work done today that it's not a good idea here. (Also, the seasonal espresso on the menu hasn't been available for months due to a long-delayed bean grinder, they say.)“

“Amazing food, always made fresh to order at a family owned and family ran eatery. Home style cooking, great for picking up a quick lunch. Love the quality of the beef and chicken. I order the beef bibimbap rice bowl and the chicken curry with rice dish. Both excellent! Highly recommend!!!“

“Recently, we decided to try out the breakfast at this cafe we often pass. We found the doughnuts to be quite good, and they satisfied our sweet cravings, especially since it was early in the morning. The coffee we ordered helped us kick-start our day. As for the avocado toast, it could have been better. Overall, we plan to come back and try out other breakfast options. Perhaps they will be better than what we had.“

“It was a really cozy cafe that served well for chatting or reading. It's a smaller space so it could get a little packed. Both the egg coffee and the stir fried egg noodle were decent but I wished that had the price tags on the menu so it's more transparent.“

“Great spot to pick up some sweet treats. But their coffee is not the best... The interior ambiance is very clean, simple, and pretty to the eye. The service here is great and the staff are all nice. I would recommend this spot more for snacks/ food/ treats, than coffee.“

“Wonderful experience! Food was great! Friendly staff!“

“Donuts are delicious and love the egg n cheese Sammie’s.“

“Best pie in the DMV! Sol Schott is a talented baker who isn't afraid to craft new recipes. His Belgium waffle-topped mixed berry pie is amazing... a custard-soaked waffle baked on top of a pie! So unique. He also has all the favorites... apple pie in many varieties, key lime, sour cherry, and decadent chess pies and quiches. The shop is small and fun to visit... eat your pie at the bar or play the vintage pinball machines. Love it!“

“Fast & friendly service and some very nice pasta for lunch... Nicer than I expected from the decor which was a bit old & tired - I probably wouldn't have tried the place, if it weren't for seeing other good reviews! Could stand to turn the AC down a bit “

“This coffee shop is an excellent spot to relish the perfect cup of coffee. Their coffee is always delicious and robust, and I like that taste. Unlike other coffee chains, I adore Compass Coffee for its no-tipping policy and for not charging extra for alternative milk options. It's the ideal place to unwind and watch people stroll by while enjoying coffee in the afternoon.“

“This is the best sandwich place I’ve been to crafted sandwiches. Handmade delicious meaty sandwiches atmosphere is beautiful. I recommend all the sandwiches, but I like the chicken breast grilled chicken breast, no imitation meat real meat“
