45 Best Coffee Shops in Fairfax

“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.“

“Lovely space. Very well oiled machine - service was quick and efficient, despite the restaurant being busy. Food and coffee was tasty, but not out of this world. Great spot for a quick breakfast :) Excited to come back to dine in and try the full menu!“

“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!“

“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“

“Very interesting place and comfortable for sitting and reading, which is what most people were doing. I had to meet a customer in the area to sign documents. As a mobile notary, we found it easy to do that here and enjoy coffee at the same time. Will bring back more customers.

Update 1.30.26
Wondering about the requirement to tip since you're given a beeper and pick up yourself. Also disappointed that there isn't a single vegan food option. Wouldn't it be great if vegans could eat too?“

“Excellent tea excellent service!!“

“If you're looking for a cozy spot that blends authentic Vietnamese flavors with a welcoming atmosphere, this Vietnamese cafe is a must-visit. I ordered a classic Cà Phê Bac Xiu(Vietnamese white coffee) and it was exactly how it should be: smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet. They also offer unique variations like coconut coffee and egg coffee, both of which are worth a try if you’re feeling adventurous. I tried their bakery as well. The pastries were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. Cannot wait to return and try more!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“Not a place for dieters and diabetic! Desserts that you would not see in a regular bakery (which tastes light, airy, creamy and good) and specialty coffee drinks which fit in (though it's a tad too sweet for us.) If you bring kids, expect them to grow attached to this location (and make them eventual foodies.) Interior makes you think you stepped into a nice hotel lobby, which is steps up from a regular Starbucks and bar! Location is great with tons of parking and near the public library. Just don't get the alcoholic drinks - does not go well with the food. Expensive for everyday, but great for special occasions.“

“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.“

“Great customer service! 🙌🙌“

“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“

“Wow. Incredibly impressed with this place. The coffee tasted amazing. The latte was fantastic (get the vanilla cream) with a perfect amount of foam on top. The Nutella acma and the egg sandwich were a perfect start to the day. And everything reasonably priced. Better than reasonable- I haven’t seen a $5 breakfast sandwich in years. And a flavored latte under $5 is almost unheard of. Bathroom was clean. This place was great and I can’t wait to go back.“

“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.“

“I’ve been putting hopes on this place since they opened and it turned out as I expected, great. Finally we got the chance to visit and try the Adani tea their as a big fan for yemeni adani tea this one was so close to what we tried before in the Middle East. The decor was very nice even the service they were nice.
And you should really try the bee bites it worth it , we really loved it . So that is your sign to visit the place, highly recommended.“

“First time here and I loved it! The food brought me straight back to my Vietnamese childhood, real street food flavors like when I was young.

We ordered the hot & sour boneless claws, hot & sour crunch, rice paper salad, and saté rice paper, everything was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. The place is cute, clean, and cozy with a very welcoming vibe.

They even have a lucky spin, and I got 15% off my total order, which made the experience extra fun. On top of that, the cashier was a very friendly lady, which made the visit even better.

I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Vietnamese street food.“

“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.“

“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!“

“Absolutely delicious! We love their pastries (my absolute favorite is the strawberry with lemon cream croissant) but their service is even better than their food! The staff is warm and welcoming, despite it being in a super busy location. They make the best Caramel Macchiato I've ever had and my kids love the hot chocolate. This is a must-go!“

“Nalak Thai is a gorgeous restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, great looking food, and attentive staff. We enjoyed our time here and will be coming back.

We ordered the Moo Ping which was very tasty. It had a great grilled flavor and the sweet and sour sauce was a nice touch. We also got a side of peanut sauce, and I highly recommend getting that too for the Moo Ping.

For our entree we got the Laad Na with a side of white rice. It was cooked well, fresh ingredients, but lacked flavor. It felt like something was missing, maybe a little salt? Not sure, but we mixed it with the sauces from the Moo Ping and it helped.

The matcha flight was very lovely and it was nice to try the different flavors. The Thai matcha was my favorite, followed by the mango, coconut and strawberry.

I will say, this Thai place is a little more expensive than others in the area so keep that in mind if you want to visit. Great for a date night, though.“

“The gelato I had was absolutely delicious! While it wasn't as creamy as Pitango's, I really enjoyed the variety of flavors they offered. I ordered a three-flavor cup and chose Black and White Cookie Batter, Dark Chocolate Fudge, and Dulce de Leche Chip. Each flavor was delightful! The restaurant was quite busy, which was a good sign considering its prime location near shopping stores and not far from Chinatown. There was plenty of seating available for customers to sit and savor their treats or coffee. Despite the crowd, the cashiers did an excellent job attending to everyone and even offered samples.“

“Food was delicious, but that one bald cashier (Robert, I think?) was very unsettling to be around. Also, he was loudly racist about Asian culture (something, something, the Chinese relatives come out for the red envelopes when it's wedding time).

The owner was nice though. Please hire someone else, owner.“

“I was almost arrested for disorderly conduct but a Leprechaun appeared, dissuaded the manager from pressing charges and paid my bill!“

“I ❤️ Lifetime , stronger together 🔥💪🏽“

“I had such a wonderful time at this coffee shop. Sarah was absolutely lovely and truly made my day, making the whole experience feel extra special. I got a shot of espresso, which was excellent and a matcha latte which had beautiful latte art.
You can really feel the heart that goes into this place, and Sarah is a big part of that. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This location along with the starbucks on 10344 Main St, Fairfax, VA 22030 are the ONLY TWO locations worth going to! They have your order correct the first time and I've never had to DRIVE back. I would make rather come here and or drive out of my way for great customer service and product. Its never rushed and always correct!“

“Variedad de deliciosa repostería, sándwich y las maravillosas galletas de navidad. Además del gran espacio interior.“

“busy place , received what I ordered in a prompt manner , dig the service with a smile , ol’ school ,“

“I really enjoy coming here for breakfast. Keep meaning to try lunch.“

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

“We stumbled across Tatte Bakery while running some errands in Fairfax City this morning. I'm so glad we stopped on our way home and enjoyed a delicious meal. We had 2 breakfast sandwiches and a turkey and avocado sandwich with 3 bakery items. The food was excellent and the sandwiches are made fresh to order. My kids and I would highly recommend a visit. Very nice and patient staff as well.“

“Clean store, nice staff. Very knowledgeable. easy to find the chips.“

“My kids loves vanilla bean while me and my hubby loves caramel macchiato“

“I highly recommend the donuts. Visited Fairfax duck donuts about a month ago. However, the service was horrible. The staff was unfriendly, the cashier never greeted us and just took our order and passed it on to the next person. The T-shirt she was wearing was dirty and covered in flour. Maybe an apron that could be changed when dirty would be a good idea. The young lady who put the toppings on the donuts kept looking over her shoulder at a child who was crying and glaring at the mother. She was slow anyway and that made her even slower. When she finally gave me my order, again no greeting just slid the box toward me. I Commented I was missing missing one donut. Her reply was oh yeah I forgot to put that in the box. No apologies or anything. So as I said the donuts were great. Absolutely love them. But the staff need some training in customer service.“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“Great staff. Thank you for being so nice to my 6 year old.“

“Great cafe! They serve a good amount of food for a reasonable price. My wife and I stopped by for breakfast and had pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Cafe was clean and modern. Don't expect a dine-in restaurant. This is a your typical cafe that serves local offices. They have plenty of seating inside and outside the cafe, however. We sat outside and enjoyed breakfast during a nice quiet morning.“

“AWESOME WEEKEND WE TO SEEE MY SON !!!FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD �“

“always good service. friendly people on staff. helpful and smiling faces. open pretty late so it's our go to for date nights. good variety of flavors.“
