Coffee Shops near Potomac Falls

“I walked into this place desperate for anything...given that it's tucked into a Safeway, I wasn't expecting much, but...lo, and behold, I was stunned how fantastic it is. The baristas are well trained at getting espresso drinks mixed perfectly at the right temperature, and the pastries blew my mind. I tried the garlic and cheese croissant, and then the ham and cheese, and they were unlike almost any such croissants I've tried. Also, everything is baked in-house fresh...nothing like the factory baked goods at, say, a Starbucks.

This is a hidden gem. Totally astounded at what I discovered.“

“I love my local Starbucks. The renovations they did make the place more open and inviting. I have always had wonderful service here. Once my breakfast sandwich wasn’t heated through and when I called they refunded my Starbucks account. Always will get an hello and a have a nice day from those behind the counter. Also the decor is beautiful unlike the Starbucks in Cascades that chose to place giant divisive flags on their walls. No politics or social divisiveness at the CountrySide Starbucks, it’s wonderful. Plus they have a drive through.“

“Tried the pistachio latte and wow—so smooth and just the right sweetness. The latte’s great too!
Cozy little cafe with a friendly vibe. The owner (I think) was kind, and his warm, low voice when calling out names or drinks makes the place even more charming. I also loved the photos on the walls.“

“We love coldspoon! It is our neighborhood coffee shop- everyone is so friendly and the quality is great. The fig and seed yogurt is our go to order.“

“Such a cozy café with delicious sandwiches and beautifully crafted lattes! 🥪☕
The sandwiches were fresh, packed with vegetables and flavors, and the coffee was smooth with perfect latte art. The presentation was amazing, and everything tasted as good as it looked. Definitely a spot I would come back to!“

“Great spot with great coffee highly recommend“

“We were driving by and just happen to see it. Decided to turn around and give them a shot. Place was clean, staff was professional and to this coffee addict, the coffee was a 10!! Will definitely be back!“

“Located in inside new grand market with a small seating area. The staffs were all very helpful and friendly. Bake goods were fresh. I had a cappuccino which for me was ok. But the cream filled strawberry croissant and matcha filled donut was delicious! The milk bread is soft and flavorful. Japanese cheesecake was ok. Also got a strawberry lychee cake to go and that was also delicious! Soft and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness! Nice to be able to do grocery and grab a sweet treat on my way out!“

“Great food at great car meetup.“

“They are wonderful hosts of for our Free Coffee Fridays with Fraud Fighters events!“

“Just tried this for the first time and oh my goodness, delicious!! I had both savory and sweet...the coconut chimney with marshmallow fluff is crazy good!“

“This is the classic RTC spot. A go-to for afterschool treats every year starting second grade. The cardamom flavor rocks… There’s almost no reason to go to RTC anymore post-covid and paid parking, but Pitango has stuck around, outlasting Red Velvet, Busara, Big Bowl, Mon Ami Gabi, and even Clyde’s… once it closes I may never return. It’s criminal what Boston Properties has done to Reston Town Center, which for me was more than the center of Reston, it was the center of the world, nay, the universe. Even Pitango’s long-time neighbor The Counter has disappeared. I fear RTC’s Pitango may not be long for this world, would like to return sometime soon. Vintage photos attached“

“Thanks Mary & team for the lovely toasted sandwiches, cakes, drinks & service. We enjoyed the birthday lunch today. Such a cosy Cafe, beautifully decorated & friendly staff. We will return 🥪☕️🌯🍵🍰🥤🎂“

“After visiting several bike shops in the Loudoun/Fairfax Co area, The Bike Lane Reston provided the best vibe and customer experience, hands down. Adam Reel and Ben (I think I was Ben's first customer on his first day on the job!) were fantastic - they took time on a typically busy but rainy Sunday to patiently educate me on different types of bikes, sizing/fitting, and getting me on the RIGHT bike with NO pressure or up-sell. In the end, I fell in love with and purchased the Trek Checkpoint ALR 4 in Lavender Haze, kitted out for touring. Adam worked diligently in arriving at a very fair price and was also gracious in sharing his considerable knowledge, experience and advice for riding the type of trails that I aspire toward, such as the C&O/GAP. Of note, another Trek dealership closer to home offered to match the price for the same bike, but the stellar service I received from Adam won me over. Well done to Adam and Ben and the entire Bike Lane team!
UPDATE: 8/04/25: Just returned from the C&O Canal trail. The bike totally crushed the ride - even the hilly gravel between Purcellville and Brunswick. So pleased with this purchase!“

“This is such a great place! I highly appreciate it. The coffee, in particular, is absolutely excellent.🥰“

“Friendly comfortable environment with great coffee and sandwiches. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but patrons I've watched really like it.“

“Just tried the chocolate mousse with toffee!! Fantastic-not too rich and the toffee crunch was a bonus. Definitely recommend 👍👍“

“Good coffee! Solid pastries too.“

“Best location out there!! My server Jackie was amazing and she whipped up the most immaculate smoothie bowl“

“I had not heard of this bakery but a friend suggested meeting there a couple evenings ago. This was the Burke, VA location. The choice of pastries was pretty amazing, what we had was fresh and truly outstanding, service was efficient and friendly, and the place itself was very clean. Will be back!“

“What a welcome addition to the South Reston area! The coffee bar is great. You can’t survive here with a bad one. But the food! And the pastries! Both are really good and consistently so from week to week. They have one of the best BLTs in the area.“

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Tango Pastry, a true gem in the world of pastries and delicious treats! From the moment you step into their café, the ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting to savor their delectable pastries. Tango Pastry's dedication to delivering top-notch quality and excellent service is evident. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to guide you through their mouthwatering selections. I can't wait to join them for their Grand Opening! I highly recommend Tango Pastry to anyone seeking a delightful pastry experience. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you, and you'll be eager to return for more of their scrumptious delights.“

“Great coffee, friendly staff. What more could you want in a coffee shop.“

“Such a great place to go for tea-lovers and non-tea lovers alike. They have a very curated selection of premium teas and tea lattes, as well as a few pastries and desserts. It’s a very cozy space and perfect to come with a friend or a small group of friends.“

“Finally, a real coffee cafe that caters to a coffee snob like me. it is a great experience and no place better for someone who likes freshly grounded beans of the coffee of their choice and the care to detail to make your experience wonderful.“

“Delicious food and comfortable, homey atmosphere. The avocado toast and London fog tea were delicious. I loved the art gallery. Thank you Sandy and Diane.“

“Visited the newly opened Tapioca Express in Herndon today. Enjoyed their boba and was surprised they had so many snack options!! Favorites were the shrimp tempura with sweet chili sauce and the fried string beans. They didn’t seem very fried which is good in my book. Nicely seasoned too. Their crispy chicken was also good we were able to choose the spice level and I went with medium which was perfect. The chichi fries were great… love the chichi sauce that comes with it! As for drinks I loved the Mangonada. It was so beautiful and delicious for how hot and humid it was outside. Also enjoyed the honeydew snow bubble and combination yogurt frost which tasted similar to a Greek yogurt parfait with fruit. The staff was very friendly, the space is cute but small more of a to-go and enjoy outside type of place. They do however have a high top table if you’re able to snag it! Definitely coming back to try more of their menu soon!“

“Weird Brothers is my go-to coffee shop. All three locations. I absolutely love their coffee, and I purchase the beans to make at home. The atmosphere is unparalleled. After living in three states and metro areas the last few years, I can easily say that Weird Bros is spectacular and incomparable. And they are active in the community. And the owner likes Pantera. Love this place.“

“Oh my gosh! I love this place! We were visiting from Texas and this was our everyday morning stop (and it may or may not have been an evening snack or two also ). All the different pastries were awesome (my son had a mango cream bun every time). You HAVE to try the Tiramisu latte. Oh! Oh! And the Black Forest Cake was the friggin bomb! More than how great the food was, the ownership and staff were spectacular! We felt like we were popping in and seeing old friends. If I am ever anywhere near here, I will definitely come by for more delicious treats!! If you live nearby, support this locally owned shop. They deserve all the success possible.“

“Kung fu tea is so good! The employees are so kind and friendly! Most if not all of the drinks are so good and the environment and atmosphere is so relaxing! This is an amazing place I am giving it 5/5 stars and I would recommend this place to people who want a unique take on boba.“

“This place has a funky vibe to it with fun pieces of decor. It has limited seating and plenty of parking. The restrooms are super fun and themed. The coffee was definitely not the best or worst Ive had it’s kind of in the middle. It was sweet, tasted watery and strong at the same time which was confusing. The flavor also didn’t match what I ordered but it had my name on it. I had their breakfast bowl which hit the spot, however their baked goods looked amazing.“

“Coffee is AMAZING, staff is KIND, and vibes are HIGH! In my opinion, this shop has the best tasting coffee in the area. RTC doesn't have a coffee place that tastes even close in terms of quality - The coffee shops there are a bit overhyped. It is across the street from RTC, but most definitely worth the few minutes walk for much better quality coffee. Right next to the metro as well. This is my new go to coffee spot, I will DEF be back!

Side note: different owner now, so even if you've tried it before, try again. The security guard working at the adjacent building also said their steak and cheese is to die for!“

“This Starbucks is consistently great. I travel to the area about once a month for work and actually go a little out of my way to stop here for a morning coffee. They are efficient, friendly, organized, and the store is clean. The service is top notch!“

“Love my heart by barista Jeff!“

“Our whole family enjoyed a Sunday breakfast at the location in Purcellville - the BEST coffee, bagels, pulled pork sandwiches, friendly service, great kitchen! We loved the generous food, obviously made with great love & attention! We’ll definitely go again & often!“

“This place just makes your insides feel warm and cozy. Often I see people on their laptops, writing in a journal or enjoying the company of one other. The little treats are so thoughtful and cute. The drinks are carefully cultivated and delicious. Plenty of clean bathrooms too ?“

“Starbucks is always a reliable stop, and I have a few favorites I order regularly—iced Matcha Latte and the iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso never disappoint. This season, I’ve really been enjoying their Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte, both perfectly cozy and flavorful.
The only downside is that they no longer have the Apple Crisp Oatmilk Macchiato on the menu. It was such a great drink, and I know many people miss it. Hopefully Starbucks will bring it back one day. Until then, their seasonal lineup still makes it worth the visit.“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal. It’s a great place to go and meet people let alone buy some fine pastries and sit down and have a conversation with somebody that you don’t even know. I come here quite often. Just sit down and relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a Boba tea. I need a fine pastry. I end up leaving with 50+ dollars or more in pastries either for my family or friends and family at work each and every time I come in this place it’s absolutely amazing. The service is beyond the people that come to this place are awesome. I’ve never ever in the last few years that I’ve been going to this place had a bad experience every each, and every time that I come into this place is amazing.“

“Came here for coffee with friend and my kids. Staff went above and beyond and were super kind to give us some parchment paper bakery bags so my kids could draw while my friend and I caught up. The last time i had peets coffee was in 2016 when I lived in LA and its just as delicious as I remember!

There were plenty of seating options inside and out. I definitely recommend this location!“

“How do I get a free birthday drink?“

“This bakery has everything you want: a warm, inviting ambiance, an impressive variety of choices, and pastries that are truly delicious. Every item is made with care, but the crab stick croquettes are my personal favorite — crisp, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It’s a place that combines comfort with quality, and every visit feels like a treat.“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“The best people in the entire world work at this Starbucks!“

“Nice and fast service, we’re love it“

“I love Sweet Leaf Vienna! I recently ordered a large order for a work lunch and everyone was happy with their food. Lots of delicious and healthy choices, including salads, sandwiches, and grain bowls- something for everyone. Their frozen yogurt and fruit smoothies hit the spot on a hot day. Flor was very helpful and kind. Already looking at the menu for my next time here!“

“We had an amazing experience here! The appetizer platter was beautifully presented with a variety of delicious Mediterranean dips hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush, dolma, and more all fresh and flavorful. Every bite tasted authentic and perfectly seasoned.

The main dish was a true showstopper a huge mixed grill platter with lamb chops, chicken, kebabs, and fries served under a dramatic flame! The meats were tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection.

The portions are generous, the atmosphere cozy, and the service friendly. Definitely one of the best Mediterranean/Turkish-style dining experiences in the area. Highly recommend it for sharing with friends or family!“

“I don't get to this store often in the morning because of work. But great service. Thanks, Esai!“

“Highly recommend this place - staff are professional, helpful and courteous…and quick turnaround, too. I needed a particular switch for my old Expobar Lever, and the machine was back in my hands in two days. We’re lucky to have them in our area!!“

“I hosted my weekly "Coffee Klutch" meet here this morning on behalf of my campaign for State Senate and the ladies of Old Town had a fabulous time! The decor is so pretty and the sweets are delicious! Thank you so much for hosting us! Please visit my website to see where we will be each week! www.sophia4va.com“

“The usual good quality tea, coffee and food. This branch excels because of the quality of the staff. First rate in terms of efficiency and friendliness.“
