“Had eggs Benedict from there today. Awesome. Tasted wonderful! I was impressed for my first visit there!“

“I come here multiple times a week, and have never been disappointed. Their display case is regularly restocked with new selections of treats, such as cake slices, cake pops, cannoli, napoleons, cupcakes, and sometimes even things like creme brulee and various types of tarts.

The drink selection is excellent; they offer milk teas, coffees, smoothies, lemonade (with quite a few flavor options), frozen beverages (such as frozen coffees or frozen matcha), and much more + allow a lot of customization with addons like tapioca and crystal boba, popping boba, coffee jellies, etc. and the option for oat milk as a substitute and less/more sugar.

Despite ordering both custom cakes and treats from the display, I've never had an experience where any cake I've bought has been dry as some of the negative reviews complain about. As most of those reviews are several years old, I can only assume the quality has improved since then and dry cakes aren't a common problem anymore. Overall, I highly recommend giving this bakery a try if you're in the mood for something sweet.“

“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.“

“Anybody dissing this place gotta chill. This was the first time I went, fast service and the food was amazing with zero mistakes. The coffee was super good as well, and the girl who served us was so nice and also beautiful, if you guys see this I came in at like 6pm, Monday June 29th. 😁“

“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.“

“came to this place like 4 times now and it never misses!! 1st off the music and ambience is ALWAYS on point. 2nd, staff is great and the place itself is so clean. nothing else to say but it’s noticeable that this spot is well maintained. 3rd, the food!!! just wow. you can tell all the ingredients they use are fresh! i could have the avo egg + cheese sandwich and shrimp burger all day… 4th off — the drinks 🙂‍↕ bruh…. misugaru latte w oatmilk …. iced or hot…. that will change your life. still need to try some of the other stuff but this is a pure 5/5. thanks to my boyfriend who works in this building, we wouldnt have discovered such a gem!!!!“

“I was desperate for some boba tea while in the Centreville area and saw HongKong was on the list. Stopped in and saw their food and it looked so damn good. I got a brown sugar milk tea, wonton soup, and some French fries. The tea absolutely slapped, the wonton soup hit the spot so hard, and the fries were so crispy and HUGE. I will be back to try more of their food.“

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

“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 🤤“

“Delicious tea , friendly staffs“

“Love the service and friendly stuff“

“homey“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my experience here. I was here a half hour before they opened and they still served me with great service. The pound cake and coffee I got were delicious and it is a really cute little spot among all the government and business buildings. It must be nice to work next to this place. I would be here everyday!“

“Shiny, very shiny. This space is like 9x the size of Tysons - lots of seating and even a private room you can reserve. Seems like a good spot to bring a laptop or meet a friend. Lots of items on the menu, a little for every type of diet. They also have serve yourself bakery items.

I got a Turkish coffee and pistachio donut. Turkish coffee in photo showed a much larger size; what you get is equivalent to 2 shots of espresso. It was good, but misleading with the size. Donut was yummy if a little dense, not as airy as I likey donuts. Sweetness was perfect.

There is a whole market of Shotted brand merchandise; I don't understand why people would want to get shotted t-shirts and sweatshirts, but if you make it, people will buy it. They are definitely leaning into the coffee shop as a destination. If you are in the far suburbs outside of a major city, it's easy to become desperate for a place to go. Please don't lean into that hype. It's great to have an option outside of Starbucks; the trendier it becomes, the less people will want to go once they feel like they've checked it off the list.“

“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!“

“authentic Japanese, fuffly pancakes are amazing“

“That great and the shop decorated good“

“This Panera is well-run. It’s a “to-go” place and Hina is always welcoming with a smile. All the staffs are welcoming to be honest and place is clean. More like my favorite mobile ordering location for Panera. Kudos guys!“

“Nice placê, wonderful food!“

“Delicious lunch today. Friendly, attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Dogs very welcome! Look forward to our next visit.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was my first time trying Thai food, and honestly, I’m not usually a Thai food girl, but OCha definitely surprised me! I got the chicken drunken noodles with crispy chicken wontons, and I actually ate the whole plate 😂 The food was good, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try more.

But that Strawberry Dubai Chocolate smoothie??? OMG. 🤤 It was SO good and looked exactly like the picture. I’ve never tried Dubai chocolate before, but I’m officially obsessed with that smoothie!

The service was also amazing. I originally ordered for pickup but decided to eat there instead, and they were so nice and accommodating. They even put my food on a plate and brought me water.

Overall, I’d give it a 4. The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5 is because Thai food isn’t usually my favorite, but this place definitely made me want to give it another chance. I’ll absolutely be back! ❤“

“amazing staff super kind and helpful. also the best breakfast in the area!!“

“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! 🩷“
