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.“

“This place is sooooo goood my mom and I love it I got the meatball sub and steam dumplings 🥟 yummmmm my mom got tuna sandwich it was good then I got a tea it is good and the man is kind I told him about some of the plants he has and the people are kind I would really recommend this place“

“Lots of desserts 🍮 🧁 🍨 and snacks“

“Washington rang me up and was so kind and you can tell he loves taking care of guests at Maman. The vanilla cloud cookie was so yummy along with Oprah’s fave - kitchen sink cookie. Such a treat if you’re looking for a mid-day lunch, coffee or a snack. They also have craft cocktails and a happy hour. Definitely check them out!“

“Amazing place. Treat you like family. Hüseyin is usually in front (super generous and friendly) along with his dad or another staffer, and I think his mom makes the pastries herself through a delicate time-consuming process. Of course have the strong Turkish coffee, no milk or sugar! Not sure if they still do but at some point a small Turkish coffee came for free with your meal.

Note: the dish usually comes with a more appetizing looking cream; it was added after this photo (and to his credit he remembered right after someone else served it, happens!)

Also, once I asked Hüseyin about a lemon based Turkish hand sanitizer and he just gave it to me. Good guy.“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“This is a to-go Indian chaat spot located inside a gas station. Here’s how it works: you place your order at the cashier, and they bring the food out to you. There’s also a small corner with a few chairs if you want to eat quickly and head out.

We ordered the samosa wrap, which this place is known for - and it was delicious. The filling includes chana and rice by default, along with whatever other toppings you choose, making it quite hearty and satisfying.

We also tried the dahi puri chaat, which was very good. My husband and I shared both dishes and were completely full by the end. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Oh - almost forgot! They also sell Indian beers here like Haywards 5000 and Kingfisher, if that’s your thing.“

“This was a fabulous find. Being the Southern inspired menu, we opted for the fried green tomato appetizer, panko breaded deviled eggs were an unexpected and unusual offering that was phenomenally delicious. We also enjoyed their cajun pasta to round out the meal. We had courteous service from staff that were friendly, responsive and informative and efficient and fun. Very reasonable priced for quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend.“

“The best service, sandwiches, pastries and coffee in the area! Homemade focaccia, creative coffee drinks, good wine menu and even homemade granola for the pups. We’re regular customers and make sure to bring any visitors here. Martin is always so helpful and friendly, and the entire team and owner Jad’s welcoming atmosphere just keeps us coming back. Great outdoor seating, with covered and warm space for cooler days. Very community focused with book clubs and pop ups that always make me feel welcomed. Fancy grilled cheese and baklava latte are personal favorites, but even a simple cold brew is the best in the neighborhood.“

“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.“

“We give it a 5/5. The coffee was rich, smooth, and precisely sweetened. Both the mango matcha latte and strawberry latte were surprisingly delicious. In our opinion, their croissant was the best we've had - exceptionally moist and flaky! My daughter even declared it the best breakfast ever 😅
This spot is a must-visit you're when in Arlington.“

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

“Great selection of wines at a fair price. the menu always has something fun or takes classics and does a twist. writing a review to really highlight the service, from the host to a nice (not overwhelming) visit from the manager. I would have rated this 8/10, still great, but extra points to Gail who gave excellent service and wine recommendations when my guest and I couldn't agree on a bottle she had a blast catering to our needs and making the visit memorable

The only negative I have is that this would be my Sunday spot if they were opened!“

“A Hidden Gem for Coffee and Sandwich Lovers De Clieu, a charming coffee and sandwich shop tucked away in the heart of Old Town Fairfax has quickly become my go-to spot for a perfect cup of coffee and sandwich when I'm in the area. Coffee and Organic Teas: (5/5) De Clieu's coffee, Organic Tea and drink options are nothing short of exceptional. Their baristas are clearly passionate about their craft, as every cup is brewed with precision and care, from their Drip, French Press, Chemex pour overs and Organic Teas. The espresso is rich and full-bodied, and they offer premium roasted beans and brewing methods to cater to every palate. I've tried their lattes, cappuccinos, teas, and cold brews, and I've never been disappointed. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just enjoy a good cold brew, De Clieu has you covered. Sandwiches Plus: (5/5) The sandwiches, bakery items, and Gelato at De Clieu are a delightful surprise. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each bite is a burst of flavor. I've worked my way through much of their menu, and each creation has been more delicious than the last. From the Spicy Swine and Honey Bread to the inventive vegetarian options, there's something for everyone. The bread is always perfectly toasted, and the combinations of flavors and textures are superb. Overall Impression: (5/5) De Clieu is a coffee and sandwich shop that embodies all the qualities I look for in a great café. It's a place that combines exceptional coffee, delectable sandwiches, sides, and a welcoming atmosphere, all at a price that won't leave your wallet empty. Whether you're a regular looking for your daily caffeine fix or a traveler seeking a local gem, Delieu is the answer. It's clear the owner takes pride in what they do and how they train their team, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I'm excited to see it thrive and become a beloved part of the community. There are ample parking options available in the vicinity as well.“

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

“Great Sandwiches and Conversation!!!“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

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

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

“Our first time here! We didn’t realize they closed at 7 and showed up right at closing time, but the staff were so kind and still let us in to get some desserts. Everything looked amazing, and we ended up getting four. The kids were so happy, and everyone was super friendly!“

“This place is pretty innocuous but when I saw 1-10$ and 4.8 stars I had to drop by. The food is very good, especially for the prices. I got a steak and cheese and fries and it was tasty, but i also got mozzarella sticks. Maybe i am biased from the city selling a worse product for several times more but serious 6 mozzies for 3.50 theyre medium sized, crunchy, hot, and the sauce is really good. This is one of the rare times I find sometbing that is obnoxiously well priced and its a shame i live 20min away and cant come here as often as Id like. Please go here. Please try the mozzies. Its a really good diner.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“The cafe mocha was delicious 😋“

“In our adventures in discovering all the local coffee spots, this has become our default. Very relaxed atmosphere with pop music from the past always playing that has, on occasion, induced a sing-along. lol
Food wise, we've only had the breakfast items but, all have been great.“

“I love the food here and the people who run it. The food is amazing! I am here at least once a week. There is such a variety on their menu and their daily specials are always great to try. Stop by if you're hungry, you will not be disappointed.“

“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 owner (i believe he is the owner, could be the manager) of this coffee kiosk is the sweetest man!! Always willing to help you figure out what you’d like and is quick to take your order if he’s able to, regardless of there being tablets for you to order on. Best Korean coffee ever, will be checking out their main store in Annandale!!“

“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.“

“I’ve lived in the area for years and have been waiting for a coffee shop in this neighborhood. Semicolon is wonderful! Very cute and modern inside. The Bulgogi sandwich is soooo good. I also love their Biscoff latte. Delicious! The cost of the specialty latte however is a little high. Though $7 for a latte is pretty normal, the size is quite small for the price.“

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

“I couldn't be more happy with the courtesy and professionalism of all the people at Honda of Tysons Corner: my salesperson Marco Hurtado, the finance guy Derek Nguyen, and sales manager Sal Siddiqui. With my beloved Mercedes declared a total loss in the torrential rains when I went back to New York a few weeks ago, they worked with me over the phone and online, and finally in person, to put me in a perfect replacement (yes, a perfect replacement even for an E-350)...the new Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. The way Honda does a hybrid is a revelation! Marco even helped me out of a big mistake that I almost made on another vehicle. So here's my review: Great car...great guys...five stars. (And one more thing: You can avoid the traffic and get there on the Washington Metro. The Spring Hill station is right outside.)“

“The atmosphere is beautiful, you can also watch the matches and enjoy watching, and in the evening, what an atmosphere and places to sit outside, you can enjoy the shisha, and there is also a food cart, you can enjoy here, and the service here is beautiful, they help you with anything, and I would like to thank Rabie, he helps us a lot, thank you Rabie“

“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!“

“this is the type of place i’d want to gatekeep, but as a small business they deserve to be known. amazing service, kevin is always attentive, the lentil soup is so good- actually all their food is. and it’s great to have a latte (pistacinno, spanish & cardamom are my favs)“

“BEST AÇAÍ BOWLS EVER!!! I’ve been going to Senberry for two years and it never disappoints! They are better than any other açaí place I have tried. I even had my parents bring a bowl down with them when visiting me at college for parents weekend!“

“This place is a pleasure to visit whether you’re buying a bike or not. You can stop in for a beer and talk with the awesome patrons and knowledgeable staff and browse their extensive inventory. I was looking for a bike for my son to ride with me and get him off the video games. I wanted to get him a bike that he would enjoy and not get tired and the FX e-bike fit the bill. Todd Mater heard my story and said when next week’s shipment came in, he’d hold a bike for me. 3 days later he responded and I went in to check it and another bike out. They were more then happy to set me up with any bike I wanted to test - they are located right on a world class bike trail and I was free to test it out. Mr. Bill Hellwig is an older gentleman with extensive knowledge and shared with me everything he knew from his years of experience in biking and helped guide me in my decision. When I finally settled on what I wanted they made sure everything was adjusted and in perfect order. It was an awesome “new bike day” and they made the process a real pleasure. I highly recommend this bike shop!“

“💛A cozy hidden gem.
The name says it all- cozy, warm, delicious sandwiches, great coffee and friendly staff.
There’s plenty of seating, big windows that let in lots of natural light.
Fast wifi is a huge plus for getting some work done.
I’ll definitely be back!
☕️🥐👍“

“Underrated (yes I know it’s rated 5 stars) small business in the bottom of the hotel! Dog and parrot in the shop, plenty of couches and chess tables- just a great place to hang out! How to get there: go inside the hotel, take the elevator to LL, go left around the corner and keep going :)“

“Great food, friendly accommodating staff, wish they were open for dinners as well!“

“Very good little deli that makes homemade food and has convience store items and great snacks and beverages. Just a little treat of a place. Solid Bulgogi Korean wrap. The cafe and deli is inside a larger building on the first floor to the left when you come in the front door...“

“Welcoming atmosphere and unbeatable selections. I truly enjoy being here.“

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

“I am someone who always stops by a Korean bakery in Annandale or Centerville every week to buy bread. Lami is the best, both in terms of taste and price. However, what is disappointing is that the bread variety is monotonous.
Some reviews say they are only friendly to Koreans, but from my experience as a regular customer, it's because their English isn't perfect and they don't know what to do. Don't misunderstand.“

“We 💖 everything. The empanadas are super #delicious and coffee ☕️ as well. It is worth it. #Gracias“

“The music is great! They play a lot of alternative and similarly chill music, occasionally with some acoustic or singer songwriter thrown into the mix. Prices aren't bad for DC either. While their tea selection is limited, it's high quali-tea. Also, the chairs are super comfy and the space is very relaxing and good to focus in since it isn't typically crazy busy.“

“If you are looking for great sushi in Arlington, you need to try Sushi Garden. The miso was full-bodied, the rolls were fresh and well-structured, and the prices were reasonable. I have found my place for great sushi in Rosslyn. The menu is slightly limited (no gyoza or shumai), but what they have is excellent! I wish I had tried them sooner. You have to look for it next to Royal Barber, but it is worth the trip.“

“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!“
