46 Best Coffee Shops in Fairfax

“very cute! i’ve been to other mamans and this location was just as pretty. it was a little crowded and chaotic, but expected for a sunday after a major holiday, and the staff were friendly and turned tables around quickly. the atmosphere was a little overwhelming for me and i wouldn’t be back on a weekend, but i wouldn’t mind checking it out on a weekday.

the ratatouille was very delicious— more of a stew consistency and the herbed feta was SO tasty. i only wish it wasn’t just a weekend exclusive. the quiche sarah was just okay. not bad but i wouldn’t pay ten dollars for it again. the food lacked salt but was otherwise good. the iced banana matcha was really tasty and the presentation was great!“

“I’m very picky when it comes to coffee, so I don’t say this lightly—my first experience at Compass Coffee was great! The staff were friendly and quick to greet and take my order. I especially loved their latte and mocha. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to ☕️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Wonderful food and coffee! Staff was so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the caramel espresso latte and a chorizo breakfast burrito! Enjoyed all of it! Staff was accommodating to substitutions needed! Can’t wait to come back and try the lunch options! Will be back!“

“Delicious drinks, serene atmosphere, and amazing staff! I ordered the passion mango sparkling ade and it was so refreshing and yummy. The cashier, Hannah, is super kind, welcoming, and made sure to assist me in every aspect of my visit. I will be sure to come back soon!“

“My favorite spot for Vietnamese coffee. ❤️“

“Excellent tea excellent service!!“

“I had a great experience at Haraz Coffee House. The coffee and atmosphere were excellent, and everything was fresh and enjoyable. A special thank you to Atefeh, who was very kind, welcoming, and friendly to us. She made our visit even better with her great customer service. We will definitely be coming back!“

“i got the mango, strawberry and pistachio, and the strawberry shortcake matcha, the matcha is super good! dose NOT taste like grass make sure to mix it well, the mango has a crunchy outside i believe is white chocolate but its not too sweet and it has kind of a yogurt custard in it and fresh mango jam inside it was delicious and all though it looks “small” it fills you up! pistachio is similar to the mango same crunchy outside but it has dubai choclate filling, its very sweet but good! the strawberry is not a crunchy outside its soft but so good! it has a strawberry short cake inside with a really good strawberry puree or jam. if ur buying these and taking it to go make sure to put in fridge for like 10 minuites because they can kind of melt in the car and not be crunchy.“

“I have been to Tom Tom Boba many times with my friends and family and they never disappoint. They offer many unique and tasty flavors of boba tea as well as an awesome variety of the Vietnamese cuisine. They recently renovated the place and by the photo you can see many people order daily from Tom Tom because they know what’s up. Overall if you need a refreshing drink or a different style of food that you haven’t tried before hit this place up and you won’t be leaving with an empty stomach😋.“

“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.“

“Senberry is such a standout spot if you’re craving something healthy that still feels like a treat. The açaí bowls are delicious and surprisingly filling, and the smoothies taste incredibly fresh. I also loved the chicken avocado flatbread—so flavorful and satisfying. What really made the visit special was the warm, welcoming service; the owner was genuinely friendly and created such a cozy, inviting atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again and again.“

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

“My friend and I were so excited to try this Thai place and we were quite impressed! Their cloud strawberry matcha drink was one of the best ones I’ve had and I really enjoyed their Pad see ew! It’s a very cute location too with a nice atmosphere when it’s not super busy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends who like matcha and Thai food.“

“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! 🙌🙌“

“Updated review: I appreciate that management from another store location assisted me in resolving the issue with a dry birthday cake I received. They were understanding and I want my review to reflect that, along with their excellent customer service. Although getting a dry cake was not ideal, I really appreciate that they went the extra mile to address my concerns.“

“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!“

“Solid location with ample parking in the mid-afternoon. First time trying out online ordering a drink with a personal cup. The drink was left in one of their prep cups, and all I had to do was pour it into mine. 10 cent discount and double stars!“

“This place is truly a hole in the wall gem, I got the Fairfax Club (literally the club sandwich of my dreams) it was piled high with meat and cheese, the quality of the ingredients was amazing, it came with a bag of chips and I added a soda, whole meal was roughly $10 which is hard to find these days. 10/10“

“I have been following pura vida on social media and was beyond excited to hear a new location was opening at mosaic!
My first impressions - WOW!
The aesthetic, friendly staff, healthy food options and fast service exceeded my expectations. I tried the blue butterfly latte and the veggie omlette - both delicious and so beautifully presented.
I cannot wait to return and try other menu options! Thankyou pura vida for an overall awesome experience!“

“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.“

“So delish! One of Dupont’s many hidden gems.“

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

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

“Overall a great coffee shop! The items are slightly higher in cost overall, but I think generally the quality matches the price. I usually go out to eat during off peak hours as a rule, and never felt like they were too busy or took an unfair amount of time with my orders.“

“I ❤️ Lifetime , stronger together 🔥💪🏽“

“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!“

“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.“

“Pure perfection in a cup
Safe to say I'm completely obsessed with Mom & Pop's Iced Dulce de Leche Latte. It's smooth, perfectly sweet, and easily the best thing on the menu. If you need an iced coffee upgrade, this is it!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Random stop after getting gas in Chantilly and ended up trying KOKKEE for fruit tea and boba. The service alone deserves five stars — the staff was welcoming, patient with questions, and the drinks came out quickly. You can tell they care about the customer experience.

The shop itself is fun and cozy. They have a cute seating area with plush toys, shelves of little collectibles, and a whiteboard where customers leave drawings and notes. It gives the place personality and makes it feel like a spot people actually hang out in, not just grab-and-go.

We tried two drinks: a mango fruit tea and a matcha milk tea. Presentation was great and the cups are adorable (“Hug in a Cup” is a nice touch). The mango fruit tea was refreshing and fruity, especially if you like bright citrus flavors. The matcha milk tea was smooth but a little lighter in matcha flavor than I personally prefer.

Overall:
⭐ 5 stars for service and atmosphere
⭐ 4 stars for the drinks

If you’re in Chantilly and want a quick boba stop with friendly service and a cute vibe, it’s definitely worth checking out.“

“One of my favorite/go-to bubble tea spots. Excellent selection and taste, always made accurately and fairly quickly. Use the app to order ahead and earn rewards! Stop by the 99 Ranch food court next door for additional delicious Asian eats.“

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

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

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