35 Best Cafes near Manassas

“Worst location. I have never been in Panera Bread this dirty before. I visit this chain few times a week all over norther VA, this place was bad…every table was dirty and greasy, filthy bathroom..it was horrible. I felt like getting up and leaving right away. I told one of the employees that tables need to be wiped and he acknowledged the issue. Ten minutes later I saw one of employees running around spraying tables barely wiping them dry. I had to get up and finish the job myself. Panera Bread, this is not up to your standards! Very disappointing. Will avoid this location at all cost.

UPDATE: Gave this location another try and was pleasantly surprised with an improved service and cleanliness of the place so I am updating my review rating. Please keep it up for your customers.“

“We love this place and look forward to next time.“

“Nice visit. I went to the new location with a drive-thru. The order process is relatively the same as if you walked in and ordered at the counter. Ordering was easy. Paid at the pickup window then waited for my order to be prepared. The cashier was polite and professional. I really like the drive thru. Its fast and convenient.“

“Everything looked delicious. The person who waited on me really took the time to explain anything I asked about and their willingness to fulfill any specific requests.

I used restraint and only walked out with a canolli. The canolli shell was delicious. The consistency of the filling wasn't great and did not have much flavor. This would not stop me from trying something else at another time though.“

“Super nice owners. Delicious food.“

“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.“

“I took a group of senior citizens to Legatos. The manager was very helpful and kind and managed our complex order very well. The food was good although a bit spicy for my taste - I wasn't expecting the steak burrito to be that spicy. Two ladies enjoyed the shrimp tempura udon a lot, and the lady who had the house salad said it was delicious. My only observations to improve the experience: it took a long time to get our food, and I wish there were options to get nonspicy versions of things.“

“This is THE BEST pastries I’ve ever had! So fresh, delicious, creative, flavorful, and appealing to the eye!!!!!“

“My boy friend and I tried this place for first time and it was delicious. I had the tomato and egg with chicken cutlet. And he had the chicken curry. Then we shared the bubble waffle with strawberries bananas and chocolate. We added the ice cream. Sooo good. If you are in Centreville. Try them out.“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Hands down, the best cheesesteak I've ever had — a solid 10/10.
If you're local, this spot is an absolute must-try. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, the cheese melted just right, and the roll was fresh and held everything together without getting soggy. Plus, you need to add jalapeno, it's a kick!!! Every bite was packed with flavor. You can tell they put care into every detail. Whether you're a cheesesteak connoisseur or just looking for a great meal, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Best Matcha ice cream and other soft serve…. Yummy 🤤“

“Love the service and friendly stuff“

“Thank you, Nediera. (I hope I spelled that correctly) And your recommendation was on point ;) Thank you!
And I wanted to add, I listened to something thereafter about how humans need an example to act upon and mirror at times, and I was personally going through something and you served as the prime example of this lesson..
Thank you for the kindness and generosity!..!“

“Great Cafe! I have a few favorites here. Try the Lee's favorite, Italian Cold Cut, or the California Club. They have daily specials that include combos with fries and a drink. The ladies that work here do a great job and everything is delicious.“

“Almost every time I need to go out for lunch I go to gallery cafe. The people are really nice and make the food with love. The food is really good and very reasonably priced. I especially like the pastrami sandwich and paninis. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“My new favorite spot!!! Everything was great, I can't wait to go back“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

I would like to express how great my experience was this morning. There were 3 people working on food when I arrived to enter my order in. There was a girl at the front near the pick up area doing the prep. I had a couple of questions and requests for my iced coffee with vanilla. She was so kind, courteous, respectful and sweet. Her customer service was amazing! I'm so impressed and grateful.

There are a lot of people who are very rude these days in many areas of life, especially in customer service and in stores I go to, but she was not.

She was so kind and helpful. Please can you give her recognition for her outstanding work and customer service? She deserves a raise for her demeanor, professionalism and multitasking abilities.

Thank you so much, to this female who helped me! I don't know your name, but you made my morning experience so great. I appreciate you!! I hope your management recognized you for this great service!“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“I just ordered an Eggs Benedict BLT and it was absolutely delicious! We had an amazing waitress named Maekiera and she was the sweetest most patient person with us. I enjoyed our small talk and our food was out quickly. Great presentation and a calm atmosphere too!“

“Stopped in this evening to pick up meals. LOTS of choices! My family and I each tried a different meal and all three were very good! We will definitely be back for more!“

“My family and I were in town from Leesburg. Wish this food was over there!! We got the teriyaki specials-chicken was super tender and fresh. Dishes had decent amount if veggis which unfortunately is hard to find and the sauce and flavors were just perfect. Price seems average but quality is wonderful. Super fast service too and we saw them greeting the regulars who must work in the building. Friendly vibes for eating in or take out. Def will have to try their breakfast as reviews recommend french toast.“

“Today was my second time visiting Checkers Deli & Cafe and I think I found my place for breakfast and lunch. Their portions are generous and the entire team is very efficient. You can mark my words when I say your food will come out in less than 2 minutes. I was feeling bold today and I ordered the kimchi and bulgogi wrap and let me tell you, IT WAS THE BEST BULGOGI BURRITO I HAD!!! I'm excited to try rest of their menu as I keep coming but I would highly recommend this deli if you are looking for a quality, quick, and delicious breakfast and lunch!“

“The costumer service is great!!!“

“Nice placê, wonderful food!“

“Five stars does not do this place justice. Excellent food, customer service and atmosphere. I had the Crispy Chicken with Kapow Sauce. The crunch on the chicken was next level, and the flavor was off the charts. The sauce on the side, amazing. Just the right amount of spice, and the vegetables in it were cooked just right. The rice is great by itself or with the sauce on top. This was my first time here but not the last.“

“Lovely staff, professional management, delicious food, friendly atmosphere! We always enjoy our visits to First Watch so much!“

“After a long, lackluster day of a birthday—I went to Lulu cafe. And it was the best way possible to conclude my birthday last night. The vibe was really chill and energetic at the same time. The staff as well as the customers just made it a wonderful place to celebrate with my friends. The karaoke rooms had great sound quality and everything about it was designed for a good time. I will definitely be back. Everyone was dancing and getting hyped, even if they were just sitting down and drinking. It was like being on an episode of Adventure Time. High energy, humorous and just solid times.“

“buena atencion y todo lo que tienen es delicioso, ambience agradable por dentro y por fuera 👏👏👏👏“

“Pleasant staff great coffee Good breakfast sandwiches Easy parking“

“We’ve been ordering here for the past few years. Food has always been fresh and delicious! Would highly recommend this place to others!“

“Alyssa is the kindest and sweetest Panera employee I have ever met. I made a mistake with my order, came back into the restaurant and asked for assistance. Alyssa rectified MY mistake within 5 minutes and at no charge to me. This kind of customer service is no longer common, however, I am grateful to have had such a pleasant experience at Panera because of Alyssa’s kind heart. Thank you! 🩷“

“I love to eat there but the only thing my coupon is expired 😡 Great foods and great services 👍“
