I have been to this location for dessert back when it was a Gelato spot, a crepe spot, etc. Once I found out it changed, I knew I had to try it! My friend and I were looking at the menu weeks in advance of our visit to see what we wanted to order. We knew in our hearts and belly that we needed the pistachio cake. Once we arrived (after eating a large meal at the Ethiopian restaurant), our eyes were bigger than our stomachs....yea that's a real thing when you're in a bakery!!! We were feeling a little nutty and ordered the following items: -Nuts about you (pistachio, hazelnut latté) -Almond succés $8.20 -Almond croissant $5.35 -Pistachio cake $6.90 They were kind enough to split the latte into 2 cups for us and it was just AMAZING. I was a little confused about the almond succés flavor/texture, but my friend disliked it. The almond croissant was good. the Pistachio cake just deserves its own moment and I would highly recommend it!!

Such a delightful find! This French-style cafe is a treasure trove of delicious pastries and aromatic coffee. I wish I could taste all of their baked items; each one looks more tempting than the last. Friendly guys. A perfect spot to indulge in some nice treats and enjoy a cozy atmosphere. They really take you to Paris!

This is a cafe that I’ve been coming to for breakfast and lunch at least once a week for the past two years. One thing to know is that this isn’t American food disguised with French branding. The menu is not extensive, but it is the most authentic French café food that I’ve seen outside of France. The sandwiches and desserts are excellent. My favorite is the Jambon Beurre sandwich, which I find myself ordering over and over, while reminding myself I need to sample other items on the menu.The dining room design is casual and inviting. It makes you want to stay and enjoy the atmosphere, which admittedly, is a problem at lunchtime as it can get quite crowded given the popularity of this café.Mary has done a terrific job of creating an experience that delivers lovely, authentic French cafe food, with caring (if sometimes overworked at lunchtimes) staff, in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. That does it for me and deserving of repeated visits!
My favorite little cafe to stop at when visiting family in the area. The food is AMAZING! Try their Croque Monsieur.

Loved the ambience, so crowded but yet service was prompt enough and we were able to seat ourselves in a few minutes. The sandwiches tasted fresh and yummy and the cafe latte with extra shot of espresso was perfect!

Stopped by Wednesday afternoon to get some coffee. Tried the rose latte and it was ok. I didn't really taste the vanilla or lavender flavor. The rose cold foam also didn't stand out. I liked that it wasn't too sweet. Plenty of seating inside and great lighting. Friendly service!

Cutest local French café, including the food, service and ambience. The sandwiches and desserts are so fresh and homemade, and it shows the texture and taste. The tea service and the teapot and China cups is a really sweet experience. I've been back here many times for working or meeting a friend for lunch or dessert.
A nice Cafe, well decorated, with polite cashiers and servers.You have a good number of options to choose from._The portion of their food: Good enough._Quality? Good and above-average_Price: for sandwiches and pastries, not cheap, but considering the quality, it is ok ( my chicken sandwich was about 10$)_For their coffee, high, not worth it._The cafe is Crowded during noon and afternoon, so there is usually a waiting time, of around min. 5 minutes._Seat? Available to sit, but again, crowded._Parking spaces? Tough to find around noon and afternoon, not just around this store, but for the entire of that area.Parking: Not easily available in front of the cafe during noon and afternoon

A fantastic local coffee shop that is perfect for conversations. Reston is fortunate to have this spot! I once left accidentally left my backpack with valuables there overnight and they vigilantly kept it safe until I returned.

I asked to remake a sandwich and the server responded with a racist comment and blamed me for the order being wrong.For more context, yesterday I was splitting the avocado chicken sandwich with my boyfriend who has a severe egg allergy so I asked if I can get mayo on one half of the sandwich. Instead they gave us mayo on one side of the bread and none on the other side. Obviously my boyfriend couldn’t eat it, so I went up to ask for a new sandwich and offered to pay for a new one and a male server with glasses said “Sorry none of us speak Spanish so we didn’t understand you” and he walked away. I didn’t speak spanish the entire time I was there and I don’t have an accent. He looked at me saw that I was Latina and shifted the blamed on me for their mistake. And then he they dropped off the sandwich he only apologized to my boyfriend and didn’t say a word to me or look at me despite me being the one who paid for the meal. And the neither of the sandwiches were made correctly, both were missing the mustard that they always put in it so the sandwiches were bare and didn’t taste like anything.
