37 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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“This place was great! I had seen them online and have been dying to try. We went in the evening as an after-dinner treat. The staff was very friendly, the cafe itself was very cute, lots of seating options, and of course dessert was great. We got the strawberry and the cafe au lait and both were very good. We will be back to try all the cake flavors!“

“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“

“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.“

“This was my first time here and wow, it did not disappoint!

This is such a great addition to Fairfax. There is no such thing as too many coffee places :P.

As soon as I entered, I had to just take in the place, it was so large, exquisite, beautifully decorated with amazing lighting.

We ordered the Harazi Mufawar. I made the mistake of customizing my drink with almond milk and less sugar. I say mistake for a couple reasons: 1) the flavors were so amazing and strong and 2) it would have been amazing with oat milk and regular sugar. However, I do like the option of being able to customize the drinks. I wish I recorded or took pictures as we ordered from the kiosk. There were so may other beverage options, but we wanted to stick with the more authentic beverages versus the standard espresso beverages.

Can we just take a minute to talk about the cup, sleeve and stopper?! They were so beautiful with the simple black and gold. We were contemplating on taking them home as a souvenir. Not to mention, they kept the drinks SO HOT for more than 15 minute (yes I kinda timed it)!!!

There isn't much to say about customer service as it was basically non-existent and there wasn't much interaction. This is the reason we used the kiosk to order. They didn't greet us or ask to take our order. Even picking up our order was like talking to a zombie.

We came on a weekday morning, so luckily it wasn't packed or loud. I'm sure it gets like that during the evenings and weekend.

The food in the display looked a bit stale/old, so I didn't order the bee hive but we ordered the Kunafa, which actually was disappointing and stale. I wouldn't order again.

The coffee shop is located at a small strip mall. There are two entrances, one will direct you to the front parking lot, the other to the back (then you have to drive around to the front). There is plenty of parking available in the front and back, shared by other businesses.

Would I return? Yea for sure!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The employees there are THE BEST!

Today was the snow blizzard, and they were the only shop in Mosaic open at 7am (I don'tknow what time they opened), at least that's what I saw. Greeted me with a warm smile.

While many people were snuggling at home, these amazing people were there even though the roads were very bad and beautiful snow everywhere.

And, it seemed that they weren't angry or even bothered for being at work during such bad weather. They were at work providing a warm smile with a delicious hot coffee and treating me as if I was a long-time friend!

One of the employees told me she had been out enjoying the snow and then went to work. I am so proud to meet people like her. She knows how to enjoy life while maintaining her high work ethics. PURELY AMAZING!

To all the employees... YOU ROCK!“

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

“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!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“Had such a great experience, went back the next day! We tried the Turkey BLAT, which was excellent, the lamb kebab pita which was good, a breakfast platter and the overnight oats. Their house latte was really good too (we asked for reduced sweetness and it was perfect).

Great spot for brunch and catching up with some family and friends!“

“I ❤️ Lifetime , stronger together 🔥💪🏽“

“If I could give this Starbucks location a 10 star review…I absolutely would! Their customer service is top notch with their team jumping in to help when needed, to bringing my For-Here coffee to my table (when it’s not busy), to clearing off the mug and plates from my table, and for simply being extremely friendly! I have never been one to tip at a coffee shop…but ever since they began the cafe-style service, I 100% do! Today I didn’t have time to stay and went thru their drive thru…I wish I had gotten the drive-thru employee’s name, as he made my entire day! He handed me the food and then before handing me my drink…he took a few seconds to write a couple of sweet notes on my cup. (U R Awesome and Good Vibes :) ) and handed it to me with a nod and smile! Fantastic team!“

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

“Pumpkin spice latte people! This location has a small space inside, but a nice patio outside.“

“I've been a loyal customer at this milk tea shop, and every visit reaffirms why I keep coming back! This milk tea shop is fantastic! The milk tea has a rich flavor that’s not overly sweet – just right. The pearls are perfectly chewy, with a nice, smooth texture. The staff is friendly and always patient in answering questions, adding a warm touch to the experience. The shop is clean, and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quality milk tea. Highly recommend it to all milk tea lovers!"“
