50 Best Coffee Shops in Arlington

“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“

“I am now a huge fan of Habibi lattes! My daughter and I had brunch at the Detour Coffee Cafe. and the food was amazing. We ordered the Shakshuka and the PB & J toast. Both were delicious! I am now making my own Shakshuka and hoping one day to make Habibi lattes, too. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great community coffee shop!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“My family and I were in the neighborhood, and I was in the mood for an iced coffee beverage. A quick google search revealed several places in the Ballston area and after parking near a playground we turned the corner and happened upon a little cart. Turned out to be Ballstonian Urban Patisserie. Not only was the gentleman who ran the cart the most humble and friendly human being I have ever met, but his description of the Iced Turkish Chocolate Cafe Mocha with a blend of several spices sounded intriguing. I ordered a couple since the wife was in tow and it turned out to be one of the best life decisions I have ever made.

Think chocolate with cardamom, cinnamon, honey, ginger and paprika amongst other things. If heaven was a coffee cart this was it.
I walked back over after we finished playing with my son on the playground to shake his hand and let him know that that was the BEST iced coffee drink I have ever had. The spice on the back end alone was enough but the combination of flavors was straight up outer space. I am a true fiend for coffee, and I will drive back down soon in the future to grab another.

BTW he thanked me with a firm handshake, and several thank you's, but also gave me a free half cup of the iced mocha.

I'll be seeing you again soon!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We’ve been going to SER for several years now especially for family celebrations. The food and service is always excellent. I highly recommended SER for any occasion!“

“Maman is one of my favorite spots!! the food is always delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and every visit feels special. The pastries and coffee are amazing, and the attention to detail in everything they serve really stands out.

A special shoutout to Darwin for the exceptional service! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better with his positive attitude.“

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

“‘Great place for breakfast!“

“My coworker and I ate here after long flights riddled with delirium. The staff was friendly and forgiving of our sleep deprived speech. Loved the Veggie Cuban. The mushroom was flavorful and meaty. The bread was fresh. Overall, would love to eat here again. The Coco Matcha was a refreshing drink to breathe some life back into us.“

“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.“

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

“I loved my iced matcha!!!“

“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! I brought guests with me to introduce them to Ethiopian culture and cuisine, and Meda truly exceeded my expectations. The food was incredibly authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The service was exceptional as well. Hanna was very attentive, welcoming, and friendly throughout our visit, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back again! If you have guests and want to show them what authentic Ethiopian food tastes like, this is absolutely the right place to be!“

“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.“

“Awesome service and food.“

“We had a wonderful breakfast this morning! The Beirut Breakfast, the Rose Water Latte, and Shaksura were all fabulous and the staff was lovely, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“Randomly discovered this place while walking around the area and now I understand why it always seems busy. The menu isn’t huge, but everything looks carefully prepared instead of rushed. I tried their iced espresso drink and a slice of red velvet cake around lunchtime. The cake was moist without tasting overly sugary, which is rare lately. There was a short wait because only one register was open, but employees kept things moving and stayed friendly with everyone in line. Good balance between cozy cafe and practical work spot.“

“Thanks to Tracye McQuirter of By Any Greens Necessary for recommending this Ethiopian Cafe to me. The sign on the store says Bethel Cafe. I ordered the Vegetarian Platter. THEE VERY BEST! Friendly staff and accommodating. I will be venturing out to Arlington, VA on occasion just to come here.“

“So excited to see this amazing coffee shop expand to VA. Great location and beverages!“

“Omg! The mocha latte I had was really really good and strong! I’ll be back for more! Also, thanks for the mug and bag!“

“A must go for doughnuts and breakfast eats. Fun and imaginative doughnut options and their expansive and nutritious menu has plenty to discover.Their coffee and drink options are superb.I’d suggest the Murphy special and their dirty chais are superb.For doughnuts, I’d got for a couple classics and a fun looking one that catches your eye (special points to mocha espresso, classic cake, and jam filled)

Dietary restrictions: Milk options available“

“Absolutely excellent place, coffee is top notch and staff is great. Thank you!“

“On a Saturday morning in DC, we tried breakfast here, including lattes, butter croissants, almond croissants, and brownies. All the items were excellent. However, the service was the low point of this shop. I’ve never seen such slow coffee preparation anywhere. While one lady was making our four lattes, the first two became cold. It’s a shame, given how good the baked items are!“

“Well it was Starbucks at the Arlington Boston metro...and I just love it there. They remember your name what coffee you drink. ...cold or hot...they are friendly helpful always smiling. With great music playing every time I go in their...I'm singing lol Im one happy customer. ..“

“We went to get ube unfortunately they ran out, we tried the green tea instead. Good choice it’s delicious. I will come back for ube next time.“

“Best coffee beans around. I’ve been to every coffee shop around and you can’t beat Compass coffee beans. The Emblem espresso beans and the cardinal beans for regular coffee is outstanding.

If you’re a really coffee drinker you’d come here. Even if you’re into more dessert type coffee they do have the flavors for you.“

“Starbucks is often. I come here every few days on my way to work and sometimes with my girls. Best coffee, good service. 😁☕️❤️“

“En particular uno de mis café favoritos … estar area es Exelente …. Recomendada para caminar Muy segura y limpia ….“

“A nice selection of baked goods that are created in the upstairs café. The drinks are quite tasty! The desserts are best heated.

And the cherry on top, it was a very personable gentleman working the cash register. He was very talkative, engaging, informative about the food, courteous and efficient.“

“Best donuts ever! Love all the topping choices!“

“Very pleasant place, great vibe! Spinach and egg white breakfast sandwich was good and the mushroom onion quiche was one of the best I’ve had!! Loved it!
The lady at the ordering counter was quick and efficient with the service.“

“Lydia and Helen are up early to make sure people can begin their day with great coffee and kind smiles! I so appreciate their hospitality and expertise. Lydia is an excellent barista.Very convenient for those staying at any of the several hotels in the area, this shop is located in the lobby of Renaissance. They have several sandwiches, pastries and snacks available as well as hot and cold beverages. They have indoor or outdoor seating, or you can take to go. Remember to ask for a mug if you are enjoying your order in their restaurant or in the beautiful lobby of the hotel…one less cup to the landfill.Update: I went by a bit earlier today and the commuter crowd was lined up. Helen was handling the barista counter and got everyone their orders quickly, with that wonderful smile and the quality perfect, as expected!“

“At this particular one I had no issues, but many get my drink wrong. And is only 4 shots of expresó over Ice. Very simple! Is never the same and I know in many occasions I definitely didn't get all my 4 shots and I have had to ask to be made again and you can see the difference. I usually go to Starbucks from 2-4 times everyday and I'm not picky but is very annoying when a simple drink can't be made right.“

“M gusta el café de Starbucks X su sabor fuerte y calidad así de fácil y nada más yes“

“Best bagel I ever had! Great customer service! I love this place! Hilltop!“

“Our go to place. Love that the expansion gives us the option to dine in or get delivery!“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“The people here are so friendly and pleasant! The vibe in this location is very relaxed.“

“This Starbucks is awesome“

“Kudos to the two ladies working today during the online ordering outage. They rocked and facilitated things exceptionally. You should allow workers at this location to receive tips, I will never understand the line of reasoning for this not to be a thing.“

“I cannot recommend Colada Shop highly enough. The team here consistently delivers the best coffee and pastries in the area, with a true dedication to authentic Cuban flavors across all their hot and cold drinks. The location is beautifully decorated and impeccably maintained, making it a wonderful place to visit. What really sets them apart, however, is the kind, attentive staff and the highly responsive customer support. It is rare to find this level of professional craft and service at such reasonable prices. Bravo to the owners and team!“

“Great service and fun people!“

“Stopped in for a late breakfast on a rainy day and got the steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. Absolutely delicious and fresh. Fast, polite service. They also carry a large variety of bottled/canned drinks. I’d love to see them carry hot/iced matcha drinks so I can fully break up with the Starbucks down the street.“

“Amazing breakfast for two!“

“There is a small coffee bar located inside the Whole Foods Market in Pentagon City. The prices are reasonable, and the service is satisfactory. Conveniently situated near the main entrance, it’s a great spot to quickly grab a coffee before or after grocery shopping. In addition to caffeinated drinks, the coffee bar also offers a selection of teas, seasonal juices, smoothies, and bowls.“

“I want to take a moment to recognize Nassin at Starbucks for being an outstanding employee. Every time I visit, he goes out of his way to make the experience warm and welcoming. He’s incredibly friendly, attentive, and empathetic — truly someone who cares about customers. Whether I’m starting my day or just need a moment to relax with a cup of coffee, being greeted by someone like Nassin always lifts my spirits. He absolutely deserves a raise, and more people should take after the way he treats others. Thank you, Nassin, for making each visit something to look forward to.“
