“We had a girls brunch at this place a few weeks ago. This place gets packed quickly, even on a weekday. But they do have an upstairs section and an outdoors section as well. Parking is tight, but valet is only $5. The service is ok. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Not super friendly, but polite. This place is expensive but a super cute cafe to hang out or Matt up with friends. We ordered the following: - Margarita Pizza: each slice is quite big and thick. We hot 2 slices, and just shared one. - Avocado Toast: this was delicious. It comes with egg, but we got it without egg. - The Rustic Gathering Board: this is $49 and is a massive charcuterie board. We got the vegetarian one, but they have with meat as well. Order this if you have a group to share. The coffee and chai were delicious. Overall, I loved the ambiance and cafe feel of this place. They have several pastries and breads too. Definitely give it a try. Can't wait to go back and try some of the pastries there.“
“Very good place overall, but something that has been bothering me recently is the filter/house coffee. It's incredibly watered down. The coffee looks like tinted water and hardly has any flavor. This may be because I'm getting my coffee around noon (I've been there in the mornings and it tends to be thicker plus I appreciate the bottomless mug) but still, I'd expect a solid house coffee before 2 or 3 and not something that tastes like the grounds have been filtered 2-3x. So please guys, load that filter up even a bit after the morning joe rush. They tend to have forty-six (i think by Counter Culture Coffee) and a featured single-origin, both of which, when there's more than a 1 to 50ish coffee to water ratio, are very good.As for the food, the bakery items are delicious and varied. I like the smoked smoked salmon and egg breakfast sandwich. Just be prepared for the hardly-cooked egg to explode in your face, so either press down on it first and it'll saturate your sandwich (if that's your thing) or try to get them to at least cook it medium. I asked twice and they did so once. I didn't mind that much, though, and the bun was worth it. Also I'd probably suggest having the chocolate croissant's filling more spread out rather than two slightly narrow and hard lines that feels kind of shrinkwrapped-style.Not a super diverse crowd but that comes with the territory--similar to the demographics of the Falls Church City in which it resides, maybe a little more (btw this is not to be confused with the broader "Falls Church" address within Fairfax County which is significantly more diverse). To compare with nearby Rare Bird Coffee Roasters, this is more establishment (NoVa style) meets new--and very cool nooks and crannies with a rustic vibe, complete with three charming outdoor spaces on three levels. Meanwhile, Rare Bird is more minimalist, with a yuppie (generally more diverse) crowd lined up quietly tapping away on their laptops, super nice hipster staff, plus some neat plants and paintings. Northside Social is, as the name suggests, more in twos or small business meetings. Northside is more of a restaurant whereas rare bird is more of a pure coffee shop, though the bakery items are delicious and the morning bread is healthy and filling.Now this has become more of a dual review, but since you may be looking into both, hopefully that's a little helpful. ☕Wheelchair accessibility: has easy to access ramp with gentle slope“
“I got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken dish and was surprised with how generous the portion is compared to other establishments I've been to. Food was served hot, we dined in and waited a little bit. Boba was pretty good. I'll definitely come back when I'm craving some popcorn chicken.“
“This is a hole in the wall for Bolivian food! The mixed rice that's a bit red was really good. I don't have a picture of it but get that rice rather than the rice that is watery. They have different kinds! This short rib was thick and tasty and they have lots of sauces for you too. The spicy one on the table is SPICY but good! Overall recommend for you to stop by for a quick meal on a budget. They also have pastries and cheesy breads that are so good! This was a 3.7 for me, but i rounded up!“
“The exceptional service at Sfizi truly stood out during our visit. The staff members were not only incredibly kind but also enthusiastic about sharing their culture with us. It was heartwarming to see my DC chaperone engage in conversations in Italian with them, and the staff's patience and willingness to teach her new words added a special touch to our experience. The freshly made pasta was a highlight, boasting an amazing taste that was elevated by the heavenly sauce it was paired with. The ambiance at Sfizi successfully transports you to Italy, creating an immersive and authentic dining atmosphere. If you find yourself in this area, visiting Sfizi is an absolute must for a memorable culinary journey that combines outstanding service, delectable food, and a touch of Italian hospitality.“
“Stumbled upon this place on accident and I'm so happy I did. The food is great along with the drinks. It's all reasonably priced and delicious. The drinks are also awesome and the staff is beyond sweet with a great ambiance! It was also the first time I had Ethiopian cafe cusine and I was happily surprised with how good it was!“
“The place itself is beautifully comfortable seating, very nice outdoors, and a wide range of hookah flavors to choose from. Whether you're a seasoned hookah smoker or a newcomer, the knowledgeable staff will guide you through the selection process and ensure a memorable experience. The hookahs are of the highest quality, producing thick and flavorful smoke that will make you return for more.“
“Hidden Gem!!I’m not sure how I missed this place for all these years — when I live just across!Such a great bubble tea place, with soo many options- and the cheese foam is just Fire! Yum!If you haven’t already yet tried them, run!! Don’t walk- because this place is ?“
“This is a good lunch or breakfast spot. It doesn't look like much, but some of their dishes have surprised me. Their Chicken Quesadilla is probably the best I've ever had. I like their Chicken Club Sandwich as well. I give it 4 stars for service simply because they can only do so much with so little. If you go during their peak busy times, you are guaranteed to wait a while. It can really mess up your lunch break. Ordering online beforehand can help avoid the wait, but not always.“
“Sunday brunch shouldn’t be missed at Borek G, had a great spread of eggs, simit, dips and spreads. Also not to be missed are the Turkish coffee and tea, along with a piece of baklava for a sweet ending. Service is fantastic at this family owned resto and all the little details add up to a wonderful experience.“
