Coffee Shops near Lake Ridge

“The food was good, hot, etc. No problem there. My issue is with the young woman with hip-length dreads that were frayed at the end and left to hang, unsecured. Everyone else had their hair secured, but her braids were left to drift freely into food being prepared, take a dip into the oil fryer, griddle, ice machine, etc. Major safety and health hazard. Also, no one seemed to be wearing any kind of identifiable Dunkin clothing except one guy.“

“Our Tackett’s Mill McDonald’s is one of the best in Northern Virginia. The service is consistently above & beyond what I expect. Thank you. Best Big Mac, perfect construction.“

“Kind & helpful staff, delicious variety of drinks & pastries.“

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.“

“My husband and I found this little spot while out walking . We purchased coffee, bagels and decided to have a scone apiece. The owner and staff are so sweet and you can tell that they love what they do. It will be a regular spot for us to visit.“

“If i could i would give this place zero stars..but not an option. I was a new visitor to this establishment, and let him know that prior to ordering. Wanted the turkey (happy place) a drink and a scone. I get my meal and there is no turkey on it. So I got back and explained I wanted the turkey happy place. He said no you ordered the "our happy place". I said sir I even pointed to what I wanted on the menu. I didn't realize there were two items with the same name. He said that is your fault and you should know the menu. I said we'll I had let you know prior it was my first time here. He said I don't care if it's your first or 3rd you should know the menu. He said I'm not going to remake it., that's what you ordered. I said I would of never order anything with spinach because I'm allergic to it. He said so..I'm not remaking it! So not only did I have to wait a long time for thr sandwich, I couldn't eat it cause I was allergic to the ingredients. So I get back to my office hungry and upset to realize he didn't put the scone I paid for in thr bag. So I call and he says oh next time I will give it to you. No apology or anything. ..and next time, I paid for it this time. Very rude to new customers and would never spend my money there again. I don't understand why he was so rude. You think you would want to retain customers so they will do repeat visits.“

“Best bubble tea around! Plus other great treats!“

“Delicious, quick service, professional. Alway fresh mike and tea. Great place for bbt. Milk and tea alway fresh. The buba was soft and Staff really pay attention to my order. I got what’s I want. The place is so clean. I enjoyed spending time over there. Recommended to try chunky cup.“

“Genuinely one of my favorite coffee shops. The people are very nice and you can learn a lot about coffee there.“

“Welcoming atmosphere and unbeatable selections. I truly enjoy being here.“

“The food was amazing! The service was impeccable! I came for lunch with a FB mom group from Loudoun and it was worth the drive.“

“I stopped in for a flat white and it was excellent. Smooth milk, clear espresso flavor, balanced sweetness. It was good enough that I bought a bag of beans to take home.

The shop is cozy and has plenty of options on the menu, but you can tell they focus on doing things correctly. Quality beans, well-dialed espresso, and staff who know their craft.

Easy choice to come back when I am in the area.“

“Very efficient and friendly staff. My food and beverages are always delicious, high quality and exactly as ordered.“

“Always crowded, always.“

“Love the staff here at my dale city store They are absolutely amazing and go out of their way to accommodate their customers“

“Friendly employees, sea salt coffee is perfect , the shop look very chill“

“Normally a very good meal. Cold Eggs, Cold Sausage and Cold Grits, love the place but the plate sat for a while before“

“I have been coming to this location every day, for the last 6 years! I absolutely ADORE the baristas! They always go above and beyond, and they treat my kids like family! I went there tonight with a flyer of a missing girl #findjholie and not only did they let me put it on their board, front and center, they offered their sincere concern! Thank you, Starbucks! You set the bar for all other Starbucks’!“

“Love this place! The staff is incredibly wonderful. Always so sweet and helpful. Always willing to answer questions, offer suggestions, and improvise when needed. Been multiple times and have always had a great experience. They also work their butts off keeping the orders cranking out. We have a gluten allergy and dairy allergy in our family so they are always helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating when we order. The space is adorable. You can feel the vibe that is a kind, loving, community space.“

“Absolutely delicious grilled portobello sandwich! Delightful soup and sandwich place. Love that any sandwich can be converted to a salad (but honestly that soft toasted whole wheat bread was divine)
Reusable dishes are expensive but glasses and washable silverware would make this place perfect.“

“A local young man made my day and I felt I needed to tell everyone about him. The past freezing cold week I dropped into Safeway @5:30 PM at Merchant Plaza to get some supplies. Upon leaving I observed another driver struggling to get his truck started. I got distracted and hurried to put my groceries in the car and return the cart so I could help the dad get his truck started. What I didn’t realize is that I left my wallet in the cart and worse did not realize it until 11:30 at night. Safeway was closed and would not open until 6:00 AM. We put all the credit cards on hold and was not happy about having to replace multiple IDs, and likely lost $300.00. The next morning I went thru the garbage cans thinking the worst and when the store opened checked the customer Service - would have to wait until 10:00 AM. Promptly called and discovered that they had my wallet, it had been returned by one of the Safeway employees - Alex! It took another week before I could meet Alex and personally thank him and give him a reward. Several visits to the store working with the manager Robert learning about Alex and discussing what a great deed this young man did. I am truly grateful for the young people Safeway hires and for the ethics and morals of this amazing young man Alex. Alex was a little bit shy, but understood just what I felt about his actions and how much I appreciated his kindness. I rewarded Alex with some cash…. Really feel great about our neighborhood Safeway and its employees!“

“I just had the yummiest french dip sandwich! Tres tres tres délicieux!“

“The staff at this store really takes the time to get to know you. They know your drink and your name. It’s like Cheers!! 😂 I’m sad that Jess and Jennifer are leaving they are truly top notch baristas.“

“I got the California Cobb Sandwich on Cheddar Garlic Bread 🍞. It was out of this world !! A bit pricey though for a sandwich. Wound up getting the combo which came to 12.00 . Sandwich by itself 9.00 . Nice outdoor seating .“

“It’s a magical place with magical people and things.“

“I’ve been to Cuppi many times and it’s great! Every member of my family has a go-to menu item that we look forward to. My seven-year-old really loves the Nutella toast, I love the Apple Delight and the chai frappe. One time the staff made a mistake and a manager stopped by, apologized, and refunded part of our order. As a long time restaurant employee myself, I thought it was handled perfectly. Keep it up, Cuppi!“

“While visiting family they took me here for lunch, the place is so beautifully decorated and clean. The volunteer who took our order was super friendly and you could feel the passion as they spoke about the business and how their mission is to help the less fortunate. I cannot wait to visit again to drink more of the qaiymoq chai and eat the steak & cheese! 😋“

“The absolutely ecstatic employee Thao was such a great ball of energy to be around! So kind and patient and was able to accomodate me as well as she can speak Vietnamese and English. She was so patient and humble and I am truly thankful for such an experience!“

“Delicious boba—especially the taro milk one! And it's a really cool atmosphere with chill music!“

“I recently had the pleasure of indulging in some absolutely divine ube cakes, and I must say, it was very delightful. The ube cakes were not only incredibly delicious, but they were also a work of art in their presentation for my parents anniversary. Each pastry bite was a heavenly blend of flavors that danced on my taste buds. It was a culinary masterpiece that left me craving for more. If you're looking for an unforgettable dessert experience, the scones are absolute must-try!“

“Excellent and Friendly Staff! Delicious Coffees! My wife and I love this Starbucks, primarily for the friendly and kind staff. The coffee is always excellent too. We enjoy this shop. They are good for our neighborhood. We highly recommend them.“

“Recently, a lot of the stores that I have visited have been out of oat milk or this or that ingredient, which is by no fault the baristas. It's just frustrating. Not only did they have everything that I wanted for my drink, they also had grilled cheese in stock which is so freaking delicious on sourdough bread!!“

“Todos los batidos y bebidas que preparan son muy deliciosas y saludables que es lo más importante!!“

“Very friendly cake shop! Great variety, fair price, very tasty 😋 I ordered a cake for a birthday and it was ready on time and it came out very well! Delicious!“

“I love my Grande Pike Coffee ☕️☕️☕️😍😍“

“Great bakery where it is run by one person - baker, owner, etc. Therefore be patient when ordering. The red bean buns are delicious and looking forward to trying more. He has been there for decades and has been generously been giving back to the community. Love supporting a lovely small business.“

“We love Manager Kristin!!!!! We visit this Starbucks at least 3 times a week:)“

“I was in the store today with my two year old for a quick snack. We were sitting down and soon my toddler started to cry over who knows what...I tried everything to guess and calm her down but she wasn’t having it. I was ready to pack us up and leave so we didn’t continue to disturb everyone in there when one of the employees, Sunni, came over and sat at our table. She spoke so sweet and calm to my daughter who stopped crying and also generously brought her an apple juice and cake pop to stop the tears. She was so wonderful and I’m so thankful for her kind gesture! She turned a moment of stress into smiles. Thank you so much, Sunni! 😊“

“I’ve been going to this location for years. Very friendly staff and of course good drinks and snacks/lunches.“

“This location is very consistent with good service and quality food.“

“Visited yesterday for first time. Food was very good, generous portions, good price. The place needs some upkeeping. The table was sticky, not well cleaned and in general the place looks like it has not been thoroughly cleaned in a while.“

“This was my best starbucks experience in 8 or so years. Jessie was so kind and thoughtful when mixing and serving my drink, and she even pronounced my name right (very rare for this to happen.) She also didn’t judge me for only getting a water for my kid, instead of pressuring me into getting some sort of chocolate milk or Kid’s drink. Frankly, he doesn’t need all of that sugar. All this to say, Go here today, order the caramel ribbon crunch. You WON’T regret it ?.“
