“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“This is THE BEST pastries I’ve ever had! So fresh, delicious, creative, flavorful, and appealing to the eye!!!!!“

“Not my first time coming to HK Tea House but it was my first time ordering their bubble waffle with fruit. The waffle was fresh, crisp on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside. They put fresh cut strawberries and bananas on top with chocolate and peanut butter drizzles and a light dusting of powdered sugar. Takes about 15 min for them to make it but I felt like that was very reasonable. Tasted great and wasn't too sweet even with all the toppings. Fantastic service as always and I would come back for this dessert!“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Best Matcha ice cream and other soft serve…. Yummy 🤤“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“Stopped in this evening to pick up meals. LOTS of choices! My family and I each tried a different meal and all three were very good! We will definitely be back for more!“

“After a long, lackluster day of a birthday—I went to Lulu cafe. And it was the best way possible to conclude my birthday last night. The vibe was really chill and energetic at the same time. The staff as well as the customers just made it a wonderful place to celebrate with my friends. The karaoke rooms had great sound quality and everything about it was designed for a good time. I will definitely be back. Everyone was dancing and getting hyped, even if they were just sitting down and drinking. It was like being on an episode of Adventure Time. High energy, humorous and just solid times.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant known for its incredible drunken noodles, and I must say, they did not disappoint. The noodles were perfectly cooked, with a delightful mix of flavors that included just the right amount of spice and sweetness. The dish was bursting with fresh vegetables and tender pieces of beef that made every bite a mouthwatering experience. But it wasn't just the food that made my visit memorable; the drinks were equally impressive. The menu offered a wide variety of creative and refreshing beverages, each with its own unique twist.“

“I come to this hookah bar pretty often, and the service here is always top-notch. Nina is absolutely amazing. She remembers my order every time, checks in without being overbearing, and just makes the whole experience better. Zaid also helps when Nina is busy and is as friendly as possible. Siddiq, the hookah guy is on top of it always and makes sure my charcoal never burns out. It’s rare to find that kind of consistency and genuine care in service these days. The atmosphere’s great, the hookah’s solid, and the staff really make you feel like a regular. Easily a 5-star experience every visit.“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“Thanks Mary & team for the lovely toasted sandwiches, cakes, drinks & service. We enjoyed the birthday lunch today. Such a cosy Cafe, beautifully decorated & friendly staff. We will return 🥪☕️🌯🍵🍰🥤🎂“

“Came here twice. They have American style food and Korean style food. Their food were good both time. Coffee was good as well. The space is clean and spacious and bright. Best cafe I have been to so far.

Kid-friendliness: Got high chairs“

“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.“

“This place offers some of the highest quality sandwiches and plenty of delicious desserts! The staff is very friendly! It is very big inside and plenty of seats to sit in, whether it is with family or friends, or even your significant other!
It is definitely a hidden gem!
Definitely recommend this place, so give it a try!

Go get brunch and try their delicious sandwiches and desserts!!!“

“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!“

“We ordered around 15 lunches in advance for a training that we were running. The food was ready on time and several of my teammates said the sandwiches were very good and tasted fresh.

Vegetarian options: We were very happy that they have vegetarian options.“

“Coffee is AMAZING, staff is KIND, and vibes are HIGH! In my opinion, this shop has the best tasting coffee in the area. RTC doesn't have a coffee place that tastes even close in terms of quality - The coffee shops there are a bit overhyped. It is across the street from RTC, but most definitely worth the few minutes walk for much better quality coffee. Right next to the metro as well. This is my new go to coffee spot, I will DEF be back!

Side note: different owner now, so even if you've tried it before, try again. The security guard working at the adjacent building also said their steak and cheese is to die for!“

“Oh my gosh! I love this place! We were visiting from Texas and this was our everyday morning stop (and it may or may not have been an evening snack or two also ). All the different pastries were awesome (my son had a mango cream bun every time). You HAVE to try the Tiramisu latte. Oh! Oh! And the Black Forest Cake was the friggin bomb! More than how great the food was, the ownership and staff were spectacular! We felt like we were popping in and seeing old friends. If I am ever anywhere near here, I will definitely come by for more delicious treats!! If you live nearby, support this locally owned shop. They deserve all the success possible.“

“Brew Birds is an amazing local cafe with fresh and delicious food, great coffee and a rotating selection of beers/ ciders. The staff are very friendly. I don't eat out during the week (only home cooked), so a Brew Birds breakfast burrito is usually the go to treat. I can personally recommend the Roast Beast, the Turkey BLT, the breakfast burrito, and the basic B. This place is my favorite part of the neighborhood!“

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

“This was a new find for me craving a quick freshly prepared breakfast (bacon, egg and cheese croissant and hashbrown).. and well with the stop. Decently priced, abundance of choices and friendly atmosphere.... couldn't ask for more. Definately recommended...“

“Hands down, the best cheesesteak I've ever had — a solid 10/10.
If you're local, this spot is an absolute must-try. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, the cheese melted just right, and the roll was fresh and held everything together without getting soggy. Plus, you need to add jalapeno, it's a kick!!! Every bite was packed with flavor. You can tell they put care into every detail. Whether you're a cheesesteak connoisseur or just looking for a great meal, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

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

“Staying at a hotel (Courtyard) down the street. I’ve been taking the metro into DC for a trade show. This restaurant is right there when leaving the metro.
I had the turkey club and fries. The picture says it all - sandwich was as good as it looks! Fries were hot and fresh.“

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

“This place is great!! I’ve ordered pickup and delivery multiple times and the food is always great no matter what I order. The food is always fresh and always hot if need be. Not to mention the staff is kind and are super efficient. Every time I walk in for pickup my order is already done and I walk out within two minutes. I seriously recommend this place to anyone. Some of the best food you can get if you live in Dulles Station.“

“Excellent daily, daily meals specials are always delicious.“

“Family owned cafe that is tucked away in the back of the building. The staff is kind and quick to get your order ready. I got a cheese panini and I wish the cheese had been melted a bit more, but it was still delicious. The food bar always has a great selection too. Definitely worth trying out.“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal. It’s a great place to go and meet people let alone buy some fine pastries and sit down and have a conversation with somebody that you don’t even know. I come here quite often. Just sit down and relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a Boba tea. I need a fine pastry. I end up leaving with 50+ dollars or more in pastries either for my family or friends and family at work each and every time I come in this place it’s absolutely amazing. The service is beyond the people that come to this place are awesome. I’ve never ever in the last few years that I’ve been going to this place had a bad experience every each, and every time that I come into this place is amazing.“

“Almost every time I need to go out for lunch I go to gallery cafe. The people are really nice and make the food with love. The food is really good and very reasonably priced. I especially like the pastrami sandwich and paninis. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Great Cafe! I have a few favorites here. Try the Lee's favorite, Italian Cold Cut, or the California Club. They have daily specials that include combos with fries and a drink. The ladies that work here do a great job and everything is delicious.“

“Best food!!!! Good coffee and very nice people.😘😘😘😘“

“I love sweet leaf! The food is amazing quality and the staff is even better! I come here every single day because of those two things. Linda, Israel, Chris, Patricia, Sandra and I know I’m forgetting other names but every single person is beyond incredible at their jobs. They anticipate needs and take care you in a way that not even expensive restaurants down the corner could do. Because I’m a regular, they know my preferences and actually care to remember! 🥹I also love that the menu changes (ever so slightly) with seasons. Been coming here for years and it’s only gotten better especially under Linda’s leadership 💖❤️“

“This is a great place for lunch! Salads, sandwiches, and subs are freshly made. Somewhat of a hidden gem in the business district and I hope more people find it. The outside dining area is awesome ? ?

Parking: Parking is free and right in front of the cafe ☺️

Dietary restrictions: Good place for dietary restrictions. Most items on the menu can be custom made to your dietary preferences ?“

I would like to express how great my experience was this morning. There were 3 people working on food when I arrived to enter my order in. There was a girl at the front near the pick up area doing the prep. I had a couple of questions and requests for my iced coffee with vanilla. She was so kind, courteous, respectful and sweet. Her customer service was amazing! I'm so impressed and grateful.

There are a lot of people who are very rude these days in many areas of life, especially in customer service and in stores I go to, but she was not.

She was so kind and helpful. Please can you give her recognition for her outstanding work and customer service? She deserves a raise for her demeanor, professionalism and multitasking abilities.

Thank you so much, to this female who helped me! I don't know your name, but you made my morning experience so great. I appreciate you!! I hope your management recognized you for this great service!“

“My new favorite spot!!! Everything was great, I can't wait to go back“
