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

“My boy friend and I tried this place for first time and it was delicious. I had the tomato and egg with chicken cutlet. And he had the chicken curry. Then we shared the bubble waffle with strawberries bananas and chocolate. We added the ice cream. Sooo good. If you are in Centreville. Try them out.“

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

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“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!“

“Loved all of the dishes!
Crispy Chicken Kapow- Must have. The crispy tender chicken with the fried basil and flavorful sauce topped on some white rice, amazing.
Shrimp Tom Kha- decent! Similar to tom yum, could be a bit more coconut-y
Beef drunken noodles- The noodles has incredible flavor. The beef- not so much. Noodles were thick, coated, and had lots of umami to them.
Beef spicy basil fried rice- loved it. So much flavor, the beef was great on this.
Penang chicken curry- very nutty, definitely something for people that don’t prefer spice, creamy and rich curry served with rice.
Creme brulee thai iced tea- loved it! Crispy sugar top with a creamy layer to mix in
Mango Creamy cheese drink- reminded me of mango lassi with a hint of cream cheese

TLDR: def go, try the crispy chicken kapow and beef basil fried rice“

“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 really enjoyed this hookah lounge. The atmosphere was cozy, the hookah was great, and the service was very friendly.
A special thank you to the waitress who speaks Russian, she was very kind and made our visit even more comfortable. I really appreciate her service! 🩷“

“The coffee was incredible. My friends and I loved the relaxed atmosphere. Next time we will also try the food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I took a group of senior citizens to Legatos. The manager was very helpful and kind and managed our complex order very well. The food was good although a bit spicy for my taste - I wasn't expecting the steak burrito to be that spicy. Two ladies enjoyed the shrimp tempura udon a lot, and the lady who had the house salad said it was delicious. My only observations to improve the experience: it took a long time to get our food, and I wish there were options to get nonspicy versions of things.“

“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!“

“Visited The Commons Fooderie and had a really pleasant experience. The food was fresh and full of flavour, especially the grilled sandwich which was perfectly toasted and paired well with crispy chips and a delicious dip. The drinks, particularly the strawberry matcha latte, were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The café itself has a lovely, bright atmosphere with stylish décor and lots of natural light, making it a great place to relax. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, and the central location makes it an easy and convenient spot to visit. Would definitely recommend and will be back again.“

“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!“

“I just finished an absolutely fantastic meal with my family and felt compelled to share our experience. This restaurant is a true hidden gem, delivering phenomenal food that caters to diverse tastes.
We started with the falafel, and they were perfect—crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful inside, easily some of the best I've had. The beef shawarma was equally impressive; the meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and served with delicious accompaniments.
What really surprised us, in the best way possible, was the Philly cheesesteak. It was authentic, loaded with thinly sliced beef, melted cheese, and fresh ingredients. It might sound like an unusual item for the menu, but they absolutely nailed it!
The staff were welcoming, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was great for a family dinner. Whether you're craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine or a classic American sandwich done right, this place delivers on all fronts. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Wish i discovered Sunrise cafe sooner. Their breakfast burrito is really good. classic home style cooking, good ingredients. they should be raking in dough with food like that, a name like Sunrise Cafe on Sunrise Ave right next to the metro. put up a sign!“

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

“A traditional LBS(Local Bike Store). The shop works with its customers for their mutual benefit (revenue for the shop, service for the customer), as it should be, not biasing the transaction to either party. The service crew is warm, friendly, and helpful. I hope that I have found my new LBS for supporting my bicycling habit. Love that they incorporate a coffee shop & brewery into their operation too.“

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

“One of the best breakfast spots I’ve tried in the area.
The place was extremely clean, the service was very fast, and the food quality was honestly outstanding. You can truly taste that they use high-quality and fresh ingredients — nothing felt cheap or processed. Everything was delicious and prepared perfectly.
What impressed me the most is that despite the premium quality, the prices were actually very reasonable. Definitely worth visiting again and highly recommended for breakfast lovers.“

“The Salmon Santorini bowl was really better than I had anticipated. The mix of crunchy veggies, creamy tzatziki, and fresh fish produced the ideal harmony of tastes. It had a light yet substantial flavor, which is precisely what I want in a nutritious lunch.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.😘😘😘😘“

“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!“

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!“

“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 ?“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“homey“

“This is a pretty average Panera, similar to most other locations. The food quality is decent and consistent, though I do feel it’s a bit overpriced for what you get.
Employees are generally okay to good—nothing exceptional, but no major issues either. Location is almost brand new, but parking is definitely a downside. Street parking is paid (24 hours), and while there’s an adjacent garage, I didn’t notice any dedicated parking for Panera—most spots seem reserved. Overall, not very convenient, especially for a suburban area where easier parking is usually expected.“

“Food is always great. Last visit Jenna waited on us. Such an attentive, personable professional. She made the meal a pleasure.“

“I am so happy to discover GreenFare Organic Cafe in Herndon, VA! Their food is delicious and healthy. I highly recommend the mushroom enchilada and pumpkin soup! If you are looking to treat your body well without compromising taste, I highly recommend you check it out!“

“One of my favorite/go-to bubble tea spots. Excellent selection and taste, always made accurately and fairly quickly. Use the app to order ahead and earn rewards! Stop by the 99 Ranch food court next door for additional delicious Asian eats.“

“I had a great experience at First Watch in Virginia. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our server did a great job making sure we had everything we needed.

The food was excellent and tasted very fresh. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything is made to order. The portions were generous, and everything was presented nicely. The menu also has a good variety, with both classic breakfast options and some unique dishes.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable breakfast experience with great service and great food. I would definitely recommend First Watch and look forward to going back again.“

“Worst location. I have never been in Panera Bread this dirty before. I visit this chain few times a week all over norther VA, this place was bad…every table was dirty and greasy, filthy bathroom..it was horrible. I felt like getting up and leaving right away. I told one of the employees that tables need to be wiped and he acknowledged the issue. Ten minutes later I saw one of employees running around spraying tables barely wiping them dry. I had to get up and finish the job myself. Panera Bread, this is not up to your standards! Very disappointing. Will avoid this location at all cost.

UPDATE: Gave this location another try and was pleasantly surprised with an improved service and cleanliness of the place so I am updating my review rating. Please keep it up for your customers.“

“The best chai latte! Great morning to sit out and enjoy!“

“I rally enjoy First Watch. Was introduced to this place when I went to Daytona Florida. Glad they are expanding through out the nation.“

“I wanted to say that I have been several times over the years. Although things are a little pricey they are always well done and delicious. In addition, I wanted to give a special shout out to Nicki who is a ray of sunshine and always goes the extra mile to ensure that customers are taken care of. To finish, the lavender lattes are a particular favorite of mine and the tempura crab cakes I had most recently were really divine. 4.75 stars“
