50 Best Coffee Shops near Fairfax Station

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

“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.“

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

“Our favorite go to breakfast place on weekends. Rose latte and davant coffee’s are the best in the store for someone who likes sweet coffee. House special bacon egg and cheese on a croissant is my most ordered breakfast. This place has nice aesthetics and it’s always busy on a weekend. Although they have plenty of seating to accommodate people.“

“Went here with some friends- it was one of their favorite cafes, and I could tell why- we shared our different coffee drinks, and they were all very tasty. The breakfast bagels were really good, they had some spices or herbs with the egg or something that gave it a nice je ne sais quoi. It was kind of sweet but a really unique egg bagel sandwich.
We went on a weekend morning and it was hopping! There was just enough seating to fit everyone in there, but I could see it getting tight if it was any busier.
I love that you can bring your own mug, and the staff was very friendly. Good vibes all around.“

“I love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“Ordered the coconut cream cold brew, it is pretty tasty. The station with the napkins, sugars, tops, etc didn't smell good at all, like something was sour. I think it is a bit overpriced for the size of drink you get. Paid $7.15 with nothing added.“

“The food is so good. It’s very cozy and it’s a great place to come with your friends the coffee here and a whole different word. I can’t even explain how good it is and don’t even get started with the bagel and cream cheese. My friend here has cream cheese all over his mouth. It’s so goodand the workers here are so kind and highly recommend you to come to this place.“

“Delicious, quick service, professional. Alway fresh mike and tea. Great place for bbt. Milk and tea alway fresh. The buba was soft and Staff really pay attention to my order. I got what’s I want. The place is so clean. I enjoyed spending time over there. Recommended to try chunky cup.“

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

“The coffee was pretty good and the coffee shop was pretty open, the standout to me was just how friendly the barista was, he was incredibly friendly and detail oriented on my order.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is down a relatively steep grade but is wheelchair accessible and the entire coffee shop itself has wide corridors“

“This is a great idea to bring people closer to the Lord. on top of that. they support local roasters and even have some whole beans in store. Great way to support local within local while being able to pray or do work. very quiet. very welcoming. no one is demanding you to pray to get coffee. it's the most unique coffee shop I've ever been to. the idea. the layout. everything is great. I got a sandwich and some beans. Great spot“

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

“Found out about Simply Social after a google search trying to find a drive thru coffee spot near me! Love that this is a local small business and my order was even taken by the owner who was incredibly sweet!

I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte (one size) and a steak and cheese and both were delicious! Food and coffee came out within 5-7 minutes.

Will definitely be coming back for the delicious food and the convenience of not having to unload the kids in and out of the car!“

“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.“

“The sushi here was absolutely amazing, I went around night and ordered chefs island and everything was prepared so well and tasted so fresh and well, Scarlett was our server and she did such an amazing job even with the rush, the interior was so clean and decorated with so much details and I can definitely tell they put a lot of effort into the service, environment, and especially the food and its quality, I will definitely be coming back soon.“

The atmosphere was relaxing and we were able to catch up. 10/10“

“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.

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.

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.

“I love Sweet Leaf Vienna! I recently ordered a large order for a work lunch and everyone was happy with their food. Lots of delicious and healthy choices, including salads, sandwiches, and grain bowls- something for everyone. Their frozen yogurt and fruit smoothies hit the spot on a hot day. Flor was very helpful and kind. Already looking at the menu for my next time here!“

“One just opened in Smithtown and we've already been there twice this week. Today my husband brought me a donut and it was so amazing. I had brought him some cake a few days ago. Can't wait to try the bread.“

“Great coffee, fresh and locally roasted in their store. Well worth driving past a few other coffee shops on the way to get there, pick up some beans for home.“

“Best location out there!! My server Jackie was amazing and she whipped up the most immaculate smoothie bowl“

“Polo Ralph Lauren Clothes💯❤️🙏🏽“

“Good coffee! Solid pastries too.“

“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“

“Smooth taste❤️ the best coffee“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Always a perfect cup and excellent, pleasant service.“

“The customer service is superb every time I have visited. My favorite is their mango cake and the shortbread cookie. Great ambience!“

“After reading positive reviews about this Hong Kong Tea House, I decided to try it for lunch.

The interior of this cozy cafe was clean and well-maintained, though seating options were somewhat limited. As a self-service establishment, customers can conveniently place their orders at kiosks, and I appreciated the owner’s thoughtful gesture of bringing the food to my table.

The Gyudon Japanese Beef Bowl was enjoyable, though I found it relatively standard and felt that the portion size was small for the price. The Hong Kong Coffee Milk Tea was satisfactory, and I was pleased to discover that I could adjust the sugar level to suit my taste preferences.

The establishment offers a variety of food options, including Jian Bing Guo Zi and Popcorn Chicken. I look forward to returning to sample these dishes.“

“In person kiosk and online kiosk in store
Online kiosk lets you put special instructions if necessary.

Staff was very nice - I put on my instructions whilst using the online kiosk to remove any almond products - just in case since I know a lot of granola is made with almond - I have an almond allergy. The kind lady behind the register saw my request and asked me if I'd perfer to switch to a gluten free granola because their regular granola did contain almond.
I was very happy with how kind she was with the switch because of the almond.

Also I might be biased because I LOVE açaí bowls but the bowl I got was absolutely delicious!
I got the nutty açaí bowl

Vegetarian options: Most smoothie bowls are vegetarian

Menu is very clear about what's in each item

Parking: There are many parking lots scattered around the city“

“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.“

“Very good coffee. Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff.“

“I used to visit this Starbucks regularly. Since I was in the area, I decided to stop by and grab a hot latte. The latte was good—a smooth, warm coffee drink made with strong espresso and steamed milk, which was perfect for today's weather. The service was okay, but my table was sticky and had some cookie crumbs, which I had to wipe off myself.“

“Just tried SHOTTED at the Dulles Town Center location and all I can say is WOW! The aesthetic, staff and quality of the food is unmatched. You immediately feel such comfort. I will certainly be back!“

“Such a cute place with great food & drinks. We got the hummus and veggies, but you must try the breakfast on the 'quan shooters - they have bacon 🥓 and orange juice! Their back patio has blankets on every chair and the atmosphere is so quaint. The owner is personable and accommodating. We will be back again!“

“Java Loco seemed very laidback and quiet when I dropped by around 1700 on a Tuesday afternoon. There weren't too many customers so it was fairly quiet. They have several tables and barstools/table inside with optional outside seating as well. It was a really hot afternoon, so the lack of many customers was much wanted!

I ordered the Golden Dream fruit tea with light ice (unfortunately, the sweetness couldn't be customized!). I also had a chocolate cigar Danish. I asked if they made their pasties in-house. They informed me they were not, but they are local. I didn't get the name of the bakery though. I quite liked the chocolate Danish. The drink was pretty good, but was just a tad bit too sweet for my taste.

I really like the ambiance in there and would not hesitate to go back and try some of their other offerings.“

“I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m not a regular customer here—just waiting while my car is in the shop. The customer service here is above and beyond. The team greets EVERY SINGLE customer BY NAME. They are clearly part of the community. The team was even brought flowers by a little boy! You all make me wish I lived here so I could visit every day!“

“Picked up a nitro cold brew for the road after a stop at Costco. I also picked up a bag of Guatemalan coffee beans. I look forward to future visits to try some breakfast & lunch sandwiches, as they look great! Cool atmosphere and great friendly service.

Parking: Easy in, easy out“

“Great customer service! 🙌🙌“

“The best people in the entire world work at this Starbucks!“

“Such a nice vibe. The dim lighting and the metallic colors of the place really go together. I got the protein matcha latte, which helped me feel full. I sat down to journal as well, nice coffee shop environment. Just wish there was more variety to the seating options so everyone can find their little spot they love the most. Just a nitpick.“

“The staff is very personable and always helpful! We truly enjoy all the sandwich, bakery and beverage offerings and have never been disappointed. We will continue to travel from MD to pick up your wonderful and yummy treats!“

“I got the California Cobb Sandwich on Cheddar Garlic Bread 🍞. It was out of this world !! A bit pricey though for a sandwich. Wound up getting the combo which came to 12.00 . Sandwich by itself 9.00 . Nice outdoor seating .“

“Literally the best coffee I’ve ever had. I normally order the caramel macchiato from Starbucks but this tops it by far. The service was excellent, staff was so friendly and got my coffee pretty quickly. I also love the ambiance & the atmosphere. I can tell they are very intentional with the details down to the coffee!“
