46 Best Coffee Shops in Fairfax

“I love love coffee at Maman! It's 30 minutes from home but it doesn't matter for great coffee. I usually get the decaf iced latte and it is great every time so far. The husband gets his hot latte and it has always been beautiful (the swan on there is nice) and flavorful.“

“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“

“7/18 update: The staff are amazing. Even when they are busy, they get the orders ready quickly and well prepared! Great job!
This is a marvelous place.

The people are clever and talented; they are very efficient and delightful to be around.
The latte is delicious (smooth and not burned, at all) and the price is more competitive than other places you can get lattes.“

“What a great morning! Our wonderful friend, Atifa, who works here, invited our ESL class for an end-of-summer get-together, and Harazz did not disappoint! Delicious coffee and pastries in a congenial atmosphere gave us a great time together! Thank you Harazz and Atifa!“

“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.“

“came to this place like 4 times now and it never misses!! 1st off the music and ambience is ALWAYS on point. 2nd, staff is great and the place itself is so clean. nothing else to say but it’s noticeable that this spot is well maintained. 3rd, the food!!! just wow. you can tell all the ingredients they use are fresh! i could have the avo egg + cheese sandwich and shrimp burger all day… 4th off — the drinks 🙂‍↕ bruh…. misugaru latte w oatmilk …. iced or hot…. that will change your life. still need to try some of the other stuff but this is a pure 5/5. thanks to my boyfriend who works in this building, we wouldnt have discovered such a gem!!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent tea excellent service!!“

“My favorite spot for Vietnamese coffee. ❤️“

“PHOTO UPDATE: Food looks amazing and everything was great. Even the cashier. Was very kind. 10/10 customer service. And great music. Beautiful place. Will return. :)
Edit: I asked for additional sweetener for my tiramisu iced latte. And the lady was so very nice that day. And she had beautiful hair. I was the girl asking about the sweetener and the strawberry lip balm. It was my first time. I hope you know who you are! You were amazing ♥ Everyone was :) Hospitality here is the best in Fairfax. Grew up in Alexandria but Lived here at least 7-10+ years“

“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.“

“Absolute hidden gem! If you're looking for an authentic spot to grab an amazing milk tea and satisfy your snack cravings, this is it. The boba is the perfect chewy texture, and the drinks aren't overly sweet—you can really taste the quality of the tea.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nalak Thai has become one of our family’s favorite places to dine for both special occasions or just for a delicious dinner out. It’s a relatively new establishment, but it’s become a staple restaurant for our family as the food is consistently delicious and the service is always friendly and accommodating. The majority of Nalak’s dishes can be modified for spice level and to be vegetarian, and there are many options for adults and children alike. I am obsessed with the drunken noodles (extra spicy!) and Thai green curry, but their drink menu also has me constantly coming back for more. If you are a matcha fan, the ceremonial matcha drink list will guarantee a return visit! Highly recommend Nalak Thai as the best Thai food in Northern Virginia!“

“Great customer service! 🙌🙌“

“Pastries are delicious and pretty. Sweet and savory treats with your morning coffee or just a good desert after lunch. You have to try it. My son and I love coming here the staff is super friendly and it always helpful. I highly recommend 👍“

“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!“

“Fairfax Deli never disappoints! The food is always fresh, delicious, and made exactly how you want it. The staff is friendly, fast, and welcoming, which makes every visit a great experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or something to go, they consistently deliver top quality. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“I’ve been here multiple times for lunch and have tried the salmon, sandwiches, and bowls. Everything has always been amazingly fresh and delicious. The prices are a little on the high side, but I’m willing to pay a bit more for fresh, quality ingredients. I haven’t tried the coffee or desserts yet, but they tempt me every time I walk by!“

“I ❤️ Lifetime , stronger together 🔥💪🏽“

“I came by on a Saturday and my baristas went above and beyond. I don't go to Starbucks often so I asked for a recommendation. The two gave me exactly what I was like looking for, looking at both the quality of the drink as well as my budget. 10/10 experience, any location would be lucky to have the two baristas that served me on the weekend“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ben Gong is one of those places where I always find myself coming back no matter how many place I try. I've tried so many drinks but just a regular Jasmine milk tea will always be my favorite! Their tea is super fragrance, and is amongst the best in the area even compared against bigger brand.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Extremely friendly owner and great customer service! The store is clean, welcoming, and has a very comfortable atmosphere. It’s rare to find such genuinely kind service these days. Highly recommend visiting this Kokee Tea location in Fairfax!“

“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 ,“

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

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

“I’ve been going here almost everyday since I started working at Nova medsculpt next door about 2 and a half years ago and it’s been nothing but positive interactions since!! For some reason the thought of leaving a review has never crossed my mind until a recent interaction I had this Monday where my drink was made poorly the first time around, but when I asked a young employee (can’t remember his name but had blue eyes) to remake it and the drink turned out to be the best shaken espresso I’ve had in a while! shoutout to him and the store, great customer service!! ❤❤ Everytime I enter the cafe and its bathrooms the store is very cleanly aswell.“

“Nice and fast service, we’re love it“

“The staff was very friendly, and the coffee was good but a little light for my taste. The breakfast croissant was excellent, and the cashier noticed that I was Muslim and saw that the sandwich contained pork, so they swapped it with turkey. The atmosphere was nice. The only issue was that the music was very loud, which some people might like, but I don't.“

“Best coffee I’ve ever had“
