28 Best Cafes in Alexandria

“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Milk and Honey is the best restaurant ever.. great waitress and staff. Great cook overall I give it a 100 out of 10“

“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.“

“Absolutely splendid! They were extremely fast with getting the food out. I had a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and it was extremely tasty. I also had the iced mocha and that was wonderful as well — some of the best coffee I’ve had in a very long time. They have really cute seating inside, but we sat outside because the weather was so nice. I’d highly recommend stopping by!“

“The cafe mocha was delicious 😋“

“This Restaurant is Incredible ?. Great food and service ?. Perfection ?“

“We ate there and everything was delicious. Tried new foods too. The kids even loved theirs“

“So delish!!! Forgot to take any photos of our food except the bignets. But we ordered the biscuit & gravy, the breakfast sandwich with bacon, iced latte & a tea latte!
the bacon was super thick and delicious...of course the biscuits themselves were so so good. tea latte is a great option for those who don't want coffee, and the gravy is vegetarian & looks just like regular sausage gravy. 10/10 would recommend this place!!“

“I'm at a loss for words! I only discovered this place thanks to my fiancé. He raves about it every day but never brings anything home. So, I decided to tag along with him on his way to work.

All I can say is OMG! The portion sizes are just right, and I'm gradually making my way through the entire menu. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the best part is that it's incredibly affordable! Customer Service is 10/10 everyone is nice and friendly!“

“Take my advice and try EVERYTHING on the menu. My highlights: the bulgogi and bibimbap, shrimp basket, chicken fingers, chipotle wrap, woodstock dream, anything off their breakfast menu, caesar salad from the food bar and don't forget they have happy hour during the week (2-3pm) for specialty coffees!! All the ingredients are fresh and delicious, great environment for big groups, outdoor seating with a beautiful view of the Potomac, and very friendly staff. It's always poppin' around noon FYI.“

“I enjoyed the food and coffee, I bought me a detox pack of juices to get my detox started. Everything about this place is customer service friendly and great prices and quality food. Every time I visit this part of Virginia I have my go to spot zen press does the body good!!!“

“Thank you Panera, my dinner was: free Pick 2 meal and a free large drink. 😋 <3 👍“

“Love the Springfield location. It’s cozy and the crepes are to die for, so are the fresh cookies. You cannot go wrong with any choice off of the menu.“

“On "Oyster Mondays" (from 4pm-close), there are specials on oysters: $1/oyster on a half shell, $16 fried oyster basket comes w/herbed fries, $16 oyster po' boy w/herbed fries. Also, M-F happy hour deals on drinks and half-price appetizers. We enjoyed excellent service from Janine (who is invaluably bilingual). The oysters were fresh, clean, sweet and briny. We have been to oyster specials at other restaurants and find that the quality at Wegmans Pub is always good. Outside happy hour or on the regular menu, the food is tasty and comprised of quality ingredients.“

“I just happen to stumble on this hidden gem. The staff is amazing. They gave me great recommendations I decided to try the tropical shrimp salad sandwich,house chips, and hibiscus flower lemonade! So flavorful I will definitely be back to try the smoothies, and panini sandwiches.“

“Food was fresh. Service was quick. Was offered a water while I wait for my food. That was nice of them. The lady at the counter was nice. I was greeted when I walked in. Restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was great. I like how they have kiosks for you to order on and not have to wait in a line while someone in front of you don't know what they want.“

“I like this location best. There's always plenty of parking and they have good customer service. The food is always delicious. 👌 😋“

“Always amazing!! The best central American food. I'm a native Salvadoreño and they cook my food very delicious. Service is wonderful, a group of very kind and hard working women, I hope they're being paid what they deserve. great place! It's always busy, so most people must love it.“

“My daughter and I loved this place! Cozy, friendly atmosphere with great food and decent prices! We will definitely be returning!“

“I must say, this has to be the best Panera location I’ve been to. Seems that they actually put effort into preparing the food. This was the first time I had a side of a warm baguette from Panera, other locations are cold and stale. The rest of my order was hot and tasty. Props to the team here and setting the standard.“

“We relocated outside the continental states and missed the French breakfast and tasty 😋 desserts 👍🏼👍🏼“

“My waitress Ms. Zafirah was great! She was friendly, courteous and helpful. My good however was a problem. I’m 37 weeks prego. I ordered the trifecta with a pancake. Had to send it back 3 times in order to get hot food. Was not happy about the kitchen service but my waitress was nice.“

“Amazing experience! Large portions.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of the best places to grab a breakfast sandwich! The selection of bread and sweet treats is great, and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. Whether you're in the mood for something savory or a little sweet, this spot has it all. Highly recommend!“

“Church of The Messiah had it’s Holiday Brunch on yesterday and everything was absolutely wonderful. The welcoming environment, the food and all of the fixings. I love going to an establishment and I’m eating on wonderful china,flatware,and glassware. The owner/operator showed love and attention to every detail. I will return.“

“I really appreciate this hidden gem! Everything I've tried here is incredibly tasty, and the exceptional customer service from Gloribel, Isabella, and Destiny keeps me coming back. Plus, the delicious margaritas are a perfect way to unwind after a long day at work. I definitely recommend this spot to others, including friends who are visiting from out of town. They also offer catering for work events, which is a great bonus!“

“I've eaten here twice before and the service was fast, prices were reasonable, and the food was excellent! We came today at 1:40pm for pancakes and bacon but when we arrived the Open sign was turned off and the ladies told me they had already put everything away and were about to shutdown, which I found ridiculous! It looked like they'd had everything put away for quite some time since they were actively cleaning at that time. If you ask me, a restaurant should take orders until closing time, but perhaps that's just me...“

“For a little café, it delivers so much! Family run, minority business. Sandwiches cold and hot are really good. Also serves coffee/ tea, drinks, candy, baked goods. Make sure you ask for TWO eggs on breakfast sandwiches since they usually only use one egg. In NY, all breakfast sandwiches standardly are made with two eggs. I'm sure the shop pays high rent and taxes and happy to support a local business in the Inova hospital location.“
