“All in all, a pretty cool place and unique in downtown Vienna. I want to come back and visit when it's a little less crowded.My daughter and I came here on a Saturday morning to grab a quick cup of coffee before we took on the day. On walking in, I was immediately struck by how small the place is. The space really isn't all that big and there are only about 5-7 tables throughout, so during busy periods (like when we went) it would be really tough to get a seat.There was no line, so we went right up to the counter and placed our order. They don't do pour overs on the weekends, so I got a drip coffee and had it in my hand just a few seconds after ordering. After scanning the room, I realized that there were no tables available, so my daughter and I went outside and sat on a bench out there for a few minutes until the cold got to us. In total, I probably spent less than 3 minutes inside.That's too bad, because I really enjoy getting to enjoy the atmosphere of a coffee shop and having a little time to enjoy and experience the coffee. That said, it was my mistake for coming here at a busy time and honestly, there's only so much you can do about the size of a building.The drip coffee itself was okay, nothing to write home about – but that's drip coffee. I love that this place roasts their own beans and I would love to come back when they're doing pour overs and give it another shot.Overall, this place has some cool potential and I want to try it again and will update my review after the next round.“

“I am always on the lookout for local coffee shops. And this one didn't disappoint. Great coffee, and people were also too nice. cafe was nicely decorated and has good seating space. I was in Arlington for 3 days and came here to get coffee every single day.“
“The ambiance of this coffee shop is soooo stellar and cute!! Service was great and fast, even with a line. I tried the horchata coffee which I wasn't the biggest fan of - I'm not exactly sure why to be honest. I will definitely return to try something else! Another wish I had - it is not great for a gluten free person - I would suggest that La Coop consider gluten free bread and/or pastry options!“
“Rare Bird does not miss with the quality of coffee at all. They have a stylish, well-maintained Strada and a great selection of coffees. Love the naturals every time. Some really great, thoughtfully designed, locally thrown drinkware. It's a serious gem.Parking: Street parking is a bit of a premium here. There's a local public lot just around the block. Perhaps not the best for accessibility, but there are options.“
“I almost walked by this place but I hadn't had my jolt for the morning. I am amazed at how good this coffee is; no additions needed or desired. I don't live anywhere close but I'll have to make up excuses to visit the neighborhood.“
“This was such a cute little coffee social house. Staff is super kind and greet you with an Aloha when you walk in! They offer menu recommendations when you ask them and also provide free wifi for anyone who wants to study/work.These are the small business I love to support I hope others do the same. :)“
“I’ve been checking out local coffee shops because I just wanted something besides my local Starbucks. Heard about this place from a friend. It’s like a hidden gem. I’ve come to this shopping center so many times and never knew it was here. Great, modern and clean space with lots of tables to work. And a delicious latte! New favorite spot.“
“Immaculate vibes, engaging service, and most of all quality coffee.Visited DC during the holiday season, and popped by the place during one of our excursions to Georgetown.Got a peppermint latte, maple latte, a breakfast sandwich, and a chocolate croissant. All of them tasted great! Definitely recommended to anyone in the area in need of a caffeine boost or just wanting to chill and read a book.“
“My daughter in law has been enjoying your coffee for quite a few years. She was in the area 3/11 and 12(dates matter in this case) so she brought me a long. I love the vibe and cozy feeling!I ordered a cold brew. Best damn brew I'd tasted, in fact, I came back in on 3/18, 19, and 20 for more!I then went back on Monday of this week (3/25) before work and had a very different cold brew. No flavor, just bitter and tastes burned. I came in again and spoke with Tina who told me that sometimes when a new batch of cold brew is made by someone different, it changes. Here's my two cents - have the person who brewed the coffee early March continue making the batches - Delicious!!On a different note, Tina and two young guys who work for you are fabulous! Friendly, kind, attentive, and funny.“
