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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“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 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good coffee! Solid pastries too.“

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

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

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The first thing that stood out to me was how exceptionally clean and well-organized the space was. Every detail seemed thoughtfully arranged, which created a very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The cozy interior made me feel comfortable right away, and the addition of soft classical music in the background elevated the entire dining experience. It wasn’t just about having a meal — it felt more like enjoying a moment of peace in a beautifully curated setting. This combination of cleanliness, ambiance, and music made the place truly memorable, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for not only good food but also an environment that feels warm and refined.“

“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.“

“OMG! I have passed this place too many times to count and thanks to a friend I found this place. I absolutely adore it, especially all the people. I love being able to grab coffee and a little snack mid climb! Shout out to Vlad leach for being an awesome guide, he helped me extremely on getting some climbs and was such a supportive person. I can’t wait to bring all my friends here.“

“I just received a box of Cameron’s Chocolates as a gift. They were delicious. They will be a new go to for me. Love supporting small business and Cameron Chocolate’s mission.“

“Finally, a real coffee cafe that caters to a coffee snob like me. it is a great experience and no place better for someone who likes freshly grounded beans of the coffee of their choice and the care to detail to make your experience wonderful.“

“I had not heard of this bakery but a friend suggested meeting there a couple evenings ago. This was the Burke, VA location. The choice of pastries was pretty amazing, what we had was fresh and truly outstanding, service was efficient and friendly, and the place itself was very clean. Will be back!“

“I have been going to this location for over 1 year because I love Petes coffee, I even purchase Petes coffee for my home. This is a very dirty store. There is always food and trash on the tables and floor. They also need to clean the bathrooms. This hand print has been on the wall for over 1 year.“

“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!“

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

“Great customer service! 🙌🙌“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Great quality clothes last forever never go out of style @HilariousJay3061“

“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.“

“Fairfax Bakery is genuinely one of a kind in the DMV area. As someone who appreciates both cultural authenticity and great hospitality, this place delivers on both. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth and the aroma of fresh-baked goods.

Their Turkish breakfast is the best in town—authentic, generous, and full of flavor. The baklava is made fresh daily, and their nearly 30 muffin flavors are something you won’t find anywhere else. I especially love the poğaça with ribeye and mozzarella—it’s deliciously unique.

The owners, Atilla and Ozlem, have poured their hearts into this place. You can feel it in every detail—from the quality ingredients to the carefully curated dessert case filled with house-made éclairs, profiteroles, and Turkish rice pudding.

It’s more than a bakery. It’s a cultural experience and a community gathering spot. I’m proud to support Fairfax Bakery and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fresh, flavorful, and truly special.“

“Always crowded, always.“

“This Starbucks is consistently great. I travel to the area about once a month for work and actually go a little out of my way to stop here for a morning coffee. They are efficient, friendly, organized, and the store is clean. The service is top notch!“

“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 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.“

“its very good but it could definitely use some nugget ice since the ice they already have is just horrible in every aspect, its not enjoyable to chew on and it completely changes the taste of the drink, nugget ice is definitely the move and should be a must for every starbucks“

“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!“
