Very popping place for snacks and coffee. The chai, like many places, was a complete letdown.... I don't blame them I guess... They don't understand what chai actually is. The sandwich was small but tasty. The staff are friendly. The little buzzer things don't work as well.

Terrific local Coffee Shop / Cafe. We had two different breakfast sandwiches (Spinach/Mushroom/Poached Egg and Bacon/Cheese/Poached Egg). Both were great. Good coffee. Great atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Have been here 2 times, twice for brunch - good food and coffee, delicious pastries, nice vibe.
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
Cool coffee shop in the middle of Falls Church.Great location to work remotely, have a coffee or just hang out.Service was on point and in a nice sunny day, it's actually decent to seat outside and enjoy the
This place has many food options, menu panels are on the top, and no one can miss them when you enter. Food has reasonable prices and generous portions that are delicious. Bakery items are endless, and there are even GF options, not to mention clear communication from the cashier when ordering food and friendly service from staff.Parking: Free public parking at Kaiser Permanence garage, top 2 levels only, entrance across from 11 Park Avenue - available weeknights afte 5 pm and on weekends. No overnight parking.
Great quiche for 15 bucks! Delicious and a great portion. Overall quite pricey just as many places in this area are.

This place has a nice aesthetic, however the service was not great. I ordered to go. It was busy so understandably it took a while to get my order. After receiving my drinks I put them away and I waited a while for the pastries. I caught notice of a server and told them that I was waiting for them. I was asked for my name so they could look for it on their system. They did not find my order and accused me of ordering from another coffee shop in a condescending tone. I pulled up the e-receipt on my phone and after a long look, I was given the pastries. This entire visit took 40 minutes which is unsatisfactory for ordering to go.
