35 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.“

“That rare, uncompromising kind of quality you almost never find.
A sanctuary for specialty coffee—where you can discover its nuances, talk with an owner who’s always open to conversation, and leave with freshly roasted beans singing of their origin.
Thank you to the team, and to Hae, for creating this place.“

“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“

“I thoroughly enjoyed this store in Fair Oaks Mall. It has a great selection of teas, a few brewed for tasting, and I was able to buy a cup of brewed tea. The salesperson Mr. Neil was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic to explain teas, and friendly.“

“Always a perfect cup and excellent, pleasant 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!“

“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!“

“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! 🙌🙌“

“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.“

“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.“

“We recently visited the Starbucks in Fairfax while staying next door at the Hilton and honestly, it was exactly what we needed—good, reliable coffee to kickstart our day. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy enough for a quick break. Of course, you expect quality from Starbucks, and they delivered. However, the prices for coffee and snacks here could make you think you’re paying for liquid gold! Still, if you’re in the area and craving a caffeine fix, this Starbucks won’t disappoint—just be ready to open your wallet a bit wider than usual.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“If you’re looking to try some authentic Vietnamese snack or boba style street food, you have to check this place out!

It’s one of my favorite spot. I love their house made toppings which I can’t find anywhere else (especially chestnut boba, and khuc bach). I highly recommend their Lemongrass Peach Tea, Milo Egg Flan, Thai Lime Green Tea, and Milk Tea TomTom 2. For food, you should try Bánh Tráng Trộn and Bánh Mì Nướng Muối Ớt. You won’t be disappointed, definitely worth it.

I come here almost twice a week even though I live 35 mins away. Great foods and drinks and the owners are super nice too.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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 great experience at Mom and Pop! The drinks were excellent, but what really stood out was the service. Ahmed and Yusef went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made the whole visit feel personal and enjoyable. Big thanks to them for their kindness and professionalism. Definitely recommend stopping by if you want both great food and top-notch service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“
