50 Best Cafes near Annandale

“My husband and I found this little spot while out walking . We purchased coffee, bagels and decided to have a scone apiece. The owner and staff are so sweet and you can tell that they love what they do. It will be a regular spot for us to visit.“

“Vessel Tea is easily one of the best boba spots I’ve been to. From the moment you walk in, the shop has a clean, modern vibe that feels welcoming and relaxing. The staff are super friendly, patient, and clearly care about the quality of every drink they make.
The drinks themselves are outstanding—perfectly balanced flavors, high-quality tea, and boba that’s always fresh, chewy, and never overcooked. You can really taste the difference compared to typical boba shops. Whether you like classic milk teas or more creative, specialty drinks, Vessel Tea delivers consistency and flavor every single time.
I also appreciate that the drinks aren’t overly sweet, and you can tell they focus on real tea rather than just sugar. Everything feels thoughtfully crafted, from presentation to taste.
If you’re looking for a boba shop that combines great atmosphere, amazing drinks, and excellent service, Vessel Tea is absolutely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.“

“Lots of desserts 🍮 🧁 🍨 and snacks“

“I really really enjoyed this hidden gem. I was traveling from NC, and my friend took me here. It felt and tasted like I was in Turkey, and the hospitality was remarkable. Very family friendly & the gentleman that was there working was on top of his game, kept checking up on us!!!!“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“The food here was incredible and the ambiance is very nice! There is a nice variety of beverages, especially cold ones for the summer time. The staff were super friendly, especially Enrique, who came to chat with us. Although they weren’t doing seating service, the food arrived at our table very fast.“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“The food was great. However, the pleasant young man who took our order messed it up. We asked for add-ons to our main order, but he gave us a whole different order, which cost us a lot. My friend was incensed, but we let it go because we didn't want to hold up the customers behind us and the young man may have been new at his job.“

“I tried the gute luete espresso coffee and also the sweet cinnamon latte. I will definitely be going back. The restaurant has quite a bit of seating inside and free wifi with some seating outside as well. They had great service and the coffee was excellent. There are lots of fun flavors and types of coffees to try.“

“stumbled on this spot, was blown away. absolutely delicious“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“I can’t recommend this place enough. It has the best coffee and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing. I will certainly return to Simona Cafe. xxx“

“Not sure how to graciously ask this question, but I am usually taken back when I see foodies without prices on their menu. It makes me think those preparing the menu may be arrogant to believe that price means nothing to patrons. Price matters. Are foods and drinks priced too high to be transparent? Are all patrons so well off that price to them really does not matter? I will sometimes pass over a place if they hide their prices, just because there are so many others that do not hide them. The atmosphere just by itself deserves a reluctant visit.“

“Friendly comfortable environment with great coffee and sandwiches. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but patrons I've watched really like it.“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

“Great value! Delicious food..sandwiches as well as their hot bar! The best place in Tyson's for lunch“

“👏👏👏 One of the Best Coffee spots in Arlington.“

“"I've been coming to this hidden gem for years, and it never disappoints. The owner, Choi, is wonderful—friendly, personable, and incredibly attentive. If you're someone who orders the same thing every visit, she'll likely remember your order by heart. I like to try something different each time, and I've honestly never had a bad meal. The food is consistently excellent, and I've become so hooked that I order lunch from here at least twice a week. Their breakfast is just as amazing and always a great way to start the day. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a delicious breakfast or lunch. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep me coming back year after year."“

“Fantastic independent bike shop. They have a wide selection of bikes. And the friendly customer service, clear & fast communication, expert knowledge, and their focus on building a happy community for bikers & families, make Bike Lane a real community gem. Highly recommend.“

“Great experience wonderful staff the kitties were a lot of fun!!“

“The moment you walk in, the environment is so welcoming, fresh, and vibey. It's like you know " this is going to be good". Then you are greeted, and the service was just that much better. She was awesome, super friendly and likeable. Didn't have to wait too long for food, clearly it was made fresh to order because when i got it (chicken ceaser wrap with fries) it was AMAZING. the fries were so perfectly crisp and warm, the wrap was balanced, warm, but not too warm because of the lettuce. Cannot rave enough about my experience, and the food. I'm looking forward to when i can make it back for another meal!“

“I love everything about this place! Been coming here for a couple of years now and they know me and added me by name and always know exactly what I like. OG ACAI BOWL for the win!! They fix it perfectly every time!“

“Absolutely the best food and service in old town !! Amazing chili and cornbread!! I would recommend this for great prices and excellent food !!“

“We got two Salmon Lover sets and a Unagi roll to go and everything was really good. The salmon sashimi was fresh and the rolls were generously filled. The unagi was spot on too.

They threw in three complimentary pieces of sushi and two free miso soups with our takeout order, which was a really nice surprise. When I wasn’t sure what to get for drinks, they had great suggestions for sake and beer. Great experience overall, will definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“Stumbled upon yesterday when I was picking up from Thai Select. I walked in and almost fell over with the beauty of this pastry/coffee shop. I only had time enough to purchase a S'mores cookie. OH MY WORD! I'll be BACK.“

“Recently discovered the site on my way to work. I needed something quick and filling, and this place was perfect. My first visit was a croissant egg and sausage sandwich with coffee. The sandwich was perfectly buttered and toasted. My 2nd visit I tried the pancakes, eggs, and sausage. Sometimes I work through lunch, so the portions were filling and everything was cooked to perfection! They have a fruit, granola, yogurt bar; and some hot bar options for lunch like tofu and ribs. Great customer service and quick turnaround, surely visiting again.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“The cafe mocha was delicious 😋“

“Had the Tropical Shrimp Salad sandwich on sourdough bread and a strawberry lemonade. It was incredibly fresh and delicious, with lots of shrimp and mango. The lemonade was the best I've ever had. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out.“

“ordered the iced tiramisu latte (less sweet) and it was good! i'd probably add an extra shot next time as the espresso flavor was a bit mild to me. cute drink presentation and interior design!

“Came here a few times during vacation in the area. The food was great. The eggs honestly were better cooked than most cafes I have been to. The coffee which was fairly priced was very smooth and the best cup in my recent travels. Great music and selection of furniture and food. I love this place I recommended it is in a very convenient location.“

“Fist time here, I forthe southwest sandwich w/ vinegar & salt... and oh my world, the sandwich was incredible, the chicken was fresh, juicy and tender and it went so well w/ the potato chips. Over all great food and atmosphere! 👏🩷“

“When this place is good it is excellent but there are times when the food and experience are just a bit inconsistent. Sometimes the French toast or bacon will be dried out or like it's been sitting for a little bit under the light but when it hits it really is the best. I've rated it four stars just because consistency is so critically important with a restaurant and we often debate if we're even gonna go because we know when it's not great it's just not worth it especially for the cost.

I will also say the atmosphere itself is fine and what you'd expect. It's at least very clean, which is important. Our favorite items are:
- the French toast
- the biscuits in general
- the fact that they have kids' portions and options for some of these“

“From far away, it seems like a really cool hip place to be, but inside it just feels like something‘s missing. Like it feels a little devoid of character here and very generic. The avocado toast has what seems like Ken’s raspberry salad dressing drizzled on it, which was really offputting. I tried to get off as much as possible.
Service was kind of impersonal also. Just didn’t seem like people were interested in being there or making eye contact just a quick order and give you what you asked for, no sort of interaction or warmth.“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“This halal hidden gem is a must try. The only bad thing about it is how didnt i know about this place before?! I got a latte and the beef and eggs. Every bite wowed me. Do you know what makes me love a place? Of course not you have no idea who I am.

A place that takes risks. Not afraid to add spices and herbs. This cafe is not afraid to add their Lebanese flavors. Their bread was the best sub roll I've had in nova.

Excellent its a must try.“

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

“Abel is a great salesman and really nice guy“

“Literally EVERYTHING on their menu is DELICIOUS! I Love the teriyaki chicken, the beef bulgogi, and their chicken pesto panini 🤤 They are also very very generous with the amount of food you get. For example their chicken panini has a HUGE piece of Chicken breast in it and the mozzarella cheese are HUGE and thick fresh slices. The word "skimpy" is unknown here 🤤 They have an AMAZING drink selection as well. Really love how many different types of Green Tea they have. If you have a chance to stop by or you're close by, I highly recommend you give it a try. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas.“

“Best mocha ever.. we love going to the Swiss bakery for treats ❤️❤️“

“The customer service is superb every time I have visited. My favorite is their mango cake and the shortbread cookie. Great ambience!“

“Let's be clear. The bad reviews is because Karoline Leavitt ordered donuts from here on her birthday. That's it. That's really why they are leaving these reviews. This company is a small family & veteran owned business and the donuts are some of the best in town. Enjoy!“

“I've been here many times now and have yet to have a bad meal. Highlights include their pastel de queso, the sonso de yucca, the empanada arroz and the sopa de mani but there's so much more including delicious Saltenas and if you're really hungry their Majadito. The staff is super friendly and attentive and they are easy to find with good parking. This will definitely be one of my first stops anytime I am in this area.“

“Senberry is such a standout spot if you’re craving something healthy that still feels like a treat. The açaí bowls are delicious and surprisingly filling, and the smoothies taste incredibly fresh. I also loved the chicken avocado flatbread—so flavorful and satisfying. What really made the visit special was the warm, welcoming service; the owner was genuinely friendly and created such a cozy, inviting atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.“

“We're visiting and I found the best coffee and hot chocolate for my kids! delicious!“

“The crepes are utter divinity itself. Both savory and sweet work depending on which mode my taste buds are in.“

“Genuinely one of my favorite coffee shops. The people are very nice and you can learn a lot about coffee there.“

“Marco was the sweetest! he genuinely cares for customers and their experience as he goes out of his way to provide excellent service. He really made the place for me, ambiance is lovely, we tried his recommendations and got to take some cute pictures aswell.“
