50 Best Coffee Shops near Fairfax Station

“Best locally-owned coffee shop!! Owner always remembers me and my drink order when I come in!! Coffee is always strong, smooth & delicious!!“

“I dream about their pistachio Cold foam, it’s literally so delicious on top of a strawberry Matcha . I also always ask for the pistachio nut topping because I think it just adds to it and I love a little crunchy topping!! It does take a little bit of time for me to get my food/drink whether it’s busy in there or not because I think they do a lot of online orders. But love 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.“

“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.“

“It's a surprisingly spacious coffee shop under Vertical Rock Tysons (rock climbing gym) tucked away in the back of a shopping plaza behind Chick-fil-A.

The coffee was tasty and robust, with acidity, and the coffee cake we tried was good. Unlike other dry and crumbly coffee cakes, this one was moist and soft with just the right amount of sweetness that went very well with the coffee. The ambiance was calm and dim in the back, making it feel cozy. Many pumpkins were on display, making us feel like we had entered the autumn season.“

“Great place to grab a quick drink and get some work done
• quality of coffee and food has been good but given the higher prices I have mixed feelings on the value
• experience with service has been varied, I’ve encountered both very friendly and not so friendly baristas here
• plenty of seating & outlets along with WiFi make for a good place to work remotely
• well maintained interior - clean & comfortable

Parking: Parking lot can get crowded at times“

“Super nice owners. Delicious 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.“

“I love this place ❤️. Highly recommend“

“First time here and I already love it. The staffs here is so friendly and mazing service. Open space, and comfortable seatings, as well as free wifi and a suitable atmosphere for studying or just sit down and chill. I would comeback everytime.“

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

“I visited this spot for the first time for my nephew's birthday. This is the best sushi I've had in DC. Everything on the menu is on another level. The freshness of the fish is evident from the first bite. Highly recommend the chef's island. The sea bream was also fantastic. The quaint ambience and dedicated staff makes this my new favorite sushi spot. It really is phenomenal.“

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

“Vegetarian options: Menu has some vegetarian options

Parking: The building is in a shopping center with a common use parking lot, depending on how busy it is the spaces near the building may be taken.

Kid-friendliness: There aren't any dedicated spaces for kids, but I brought my 4 y/o and it was fine. I saw other families with strollers, as well.“

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

“Everything about this coffee shop is fantastic. The coffee was delicious and prepared with expertise, a great place for a cappuccino. They make sure to ask if you’re dining in because they will serve your drink in a ceramic cup, I love that.
Great pastries as well, I’m not sure if they’re made in house but they’re impressive.
Wonderful environment, lots of seating options, as well as ice water out and available for you.
Love it here

Parking: Lots of parking available all around building“

“1. Food Quality (5/5): The coffee, as expected, is excellent; however, you should definitely consider also ordering some of the food. The Basil pizza is truly incredible.

2. Atmosphere (5/5): The place is spotless and has an interesting industrial sort of vibe. This is a great place to read books or work on school/work projects.

3. Service (5/5): The workers are quite friendly and industrious. The coffee and food are prepared promptly. The only negative experience is that it's not always clear which items belong to whom. For instance, multiple drinks will be placed in the deliverables area, but without any mention of what they are.

4. Menu Variety (3/5): Fairly limited. Coffee options include the obvious, like: Espresso, Lattes, Cappuccinos, Mochas, etc. This is a great place for good coffee, but there's nothing unique.

5. Value for Money (1/5): If you are only looking for good pre-made specialty coffee drinks, then this place is a 5/5. When it comes to the available specialty coffee beans, there are better options at far lower price points. This place is very aggressive when it comes to tipping, as you can only choose between ridiculously high values or no tip at all. This is especially true when it comes to buying the beans, which doesn't involve any labor on the worker's part besides ringing the item up.

Parking: While there are plenty of spots available, most of the spots near the store are taken, which could be a concern for those with mobility issues.“

“Nice and a friendly coffee shop in Vienna. Delicious ice cream , sandwiches and nice coffee selection.“

“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.“

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Tango Pastry, a true gem in the world of pastries and delicious treats! From the moment you step into their café, the ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting to savor their delectable pastries. Tango Pastry's dedication to delivering top-notch quality and excellent service is evident. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to guide you through their mouthwatering selections. I can't wait to join them for their Grand Opening! I highly recommend Tango Pastry to anyone seeking a delightful pastry experience. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you, and you'll be eager to return for more of their scrumptious delights.“

“I met a friend here for coffee. My friend brought in her own coffee and the staff didn't say anything, which was really nice. I got a matcha latte and it was very tasty.
The atmosphere was relaxing and we were able to catch up. 10/10“

“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.“

“Best Acai bowl I've ever had! I could eat one of the Classics every single day! Fresh fruit, great combinations or design your own. Made when you order. Menu includes other options such as smoothies. Parking next door, as well as inside and outside seating. Such a great alternative to fast food

Parking: Right next door to building“

“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.“

“Very nice coffee house in Vienna, very nice concept. Some of the staff very nice and helpful, others not so much but arrogant.
Unfortunately, too much use of plastic (we explicitly asked to get our drinks served in mugs and were promised for it to happen, but then still got everything served in plastic).

Parking: Parking on the street, in front of the building and in the back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Compass Coffee has been an incredible community support for the local Title I Elementary School across the street. I am so grateful for the way they continue to support the community and provide exceptional customer service. What a great addition to the neighborhood!“

“The food was excellent! I had the Grill Chicken Kabob, and it was cooked perfectly. The service was wonderful. The staff were so attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. ... Overall, I had a great experience at this restaurant!“

“Ordered the White Mocha Latte and Creme Brûlée Latte. Both very good, I love how they use Hollander white chocolate sauce, the flavor is PERFECT. Both coffees were very smooth and good flavor throughout. I couldn’t really tell the difference between the creme brûlée from the white mocha but still enjoyed my coffee :) good service“

“I appreciated how tiny the sample cups were, kawaii. The thing is though, the flavors were so strong is was probably the perfect amount for me to know what not to actually buy

Wheelchair accessibility: If you can get to the second floor, you can roll right in no problem“

“This Starbucks is conveniently located at Avenir Place, next to shops, a metro station, and a supermarket, all within walking distance. After walking around the area, I found it a good place to stop and get plant-based refreshing drinks. The matcha latte is so good – not super sweet and very refreshing, especially when the weather is hot. The service is fantastic, and the cafe's inside is always clean and tidy.“

“This is a great coffee shop, but it has one critical flaw - the place is very cold. I'm here in late February, and everyone in the place, including myself, is wearing a coat. I asked one of the employees what the thermostat was set on, and she responded, somewhat rudely, that she didn't know. She then said it was on auto. Not helpful and no pretense of addressing the issue. Still, the coffee is great and the service is excellent. I look forward to returning regularly when spring arrives.“

“What an awesome, cozy spot, especially if you want to be away from a big crowd but still enjoy good food and drinks. We had a great conversation with the owner and workers. Everyone was friendly and had great customer service skills. Oh, the bourbon selection is awesome!“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Smooth taste❤️ the best coffee“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“Everything!!!! The food the drinks and the atmosphere is definitely worth the trip there“

“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 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.“

“The employees were incredibly friendly, and passionate about their product! The pistachio latte was lovely. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of their drinks.“

“simply amazing and I can't wait to hear from you again but I'm not trying to get with you or anything else like that ok.“

“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!“
