50 Best Cafes near Fairfax Station

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

“Very clean, well run pool. The lifeguards do their job, the pool manager guy that visits is great and very helpful. Lots of pool chairs, large area around the pool. There is a big baby pool with a nice fenced in area with chairs and tables. Pool has two diving boards and two swim lanes, not that difficult to get a lane to swim laps.“

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

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“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.“

“Staff is so kind to the teens. The food is top-notch, greasy enough to satisfy the craving for street-food but not unpalatable. They cook on demand so it is possible to customize and adjust according to your spice tolerance. It is in a gas station, but don’t let that dissuade you. It’s one of Vienna’s hidden gems.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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!!!“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Cafe Right Angle is such a cool little spot! The vibe is super chill and the food totally hits the mark—fresh, tasty, and honestly so satisfying. I grabbed a sandwich and a smoothie, and both were awesome. The staff were really friendly and made everything feel easy and welcoming. Perfect for a quick bite or a laid-back hangout. Definitely gonna be coming back here!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We highly recommend Honda Tysons Center for purchase and car service. This is our 3rd. purchase. Jalal provided an amazing client experience. He clearly understood our needs and helped us on the selection of the model, color, drive test and financial arrangments. He is an incredible Sales Manager. We are very grateful for all his help, guidance and support! The rest of the team is also very client oriented and provided an outstanding service.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Very cute place, delicious teas and desserts, nice staff.“

“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!“

“💛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!
☕️🥐👍“

“First time visit and it was great! The food was fantastic (best French fries ever) and the staff was very nice and friendly. I will be back!“

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

“We just want to see the Occoquan old city area just had a close look at the elegance of this beautiful location and want to have a cup of coffee and any snacks, found this Bally whack shack cafe, awesome location went up to the coffee shop ordered some lattes also muffin, the service was excellent, very kind staff on counter, feeling an antique, atmosphere around, had coffee And snacks at outside really enjoying awesome beauty of nature from there . Amazing experience.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I hosted my weekly "Coffee Klutch" meet here this morning on behalf of my campaign for State Senate and the ladies of Old Town had a fabulous time! The decor is so pretty and the sweets are delicious! Thank you so much for hosting us! Please visit my website to see where we will be each week! www.sophia4va.com“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“Dining here is always a smooth, satisfying experience. Great quality - both in service and flavors.“

“Tried the pistachio latte and wow—so smooth and just the right sweetness. The latte’s great too!
Cozy little cafe with a friendly vibe. The owner (I think) was kind, and his warm, low voice when calling out names or drinks makes the place even more charming. I also loved the photos on the walls.“

“Bagel was perfectly toasted and buttered. The only place this far to listen and provide a sausage, egg, and cheese bagel since tiktok told everyone about the BEC.Friendly staff and in a good location for office park people and patients in the building.

Vegetarian options: Most of the menu has a vegetarian symbol next to them. Likely because most are egg and cheese based. But still seems like a safe option.

Parking: It's in an Dr/office building. Parking doesn't belong to the cafe but there are plenty of options and it's easy to navigate to the cafe from inside or out.“

“I love having lunch here. They have amazing sandwiches and other foods too. They all wear gloves and the place is super clean. They have bacon AND TURKEY BACON, which is awesome! Friendly employees always there to help with smiles on their faces. So many great snack choices available too.“

“Literally EVERYTHING on their menu is DELICIOUS! I Love the teriyaki chicken, the beef bulgogi, and their chicken pesto panini 🤤 They are also very very generous with the amount of food you get. For example their chicken panini has a HUGE piece of Chicken breast in it and the mozzarella cheese are HUGE and thick fresh slices. The word "skimpy" is unknown here 🤤 They have an AMAZING drink selection as well. Really love how many different types of Green Tea they have. If you have a chance to stop by or you're close by, I highly recommend you give it a try. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas.“
