13 Best Cafes in Reston

“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!“

“I just finished an absolutely fantastic meal with my family and felt compelled to share our experience. This restaurant is a true hidden gem, delivering phenomenal food that caters to diverse tastes.
We started with the falafel, and they were perfect—crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful inside, easily some of the best I've had. The beef shawarma was equally impressive; the meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and served with delicious accompaniments.
What really surprised us, in the best way possible, was the Philly cheesesteak. It was authentic, loaded with thinly sliced beef, melted cheese, and fresh ingredients. It might sound like an unusual item for the menu, but they absolutely nailed it!
The staff were welcoming, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was great for a family dinner. Whether you're craving authentic Middle Eastern cuisine or a classic American sandwich done right, this place delivers on all fronts. We will definitely be back!“

“This was a new find for me craving a quick freshly prepared breakfast (bacon, egg and cheese croissant and hashbrown).. and well with the stop. Decently priced, abundance of choices and friendly atmosphere.... couldn't ask for more. Definately recommended...“

“Great food, friendly accommodating staff, wish they were open for dinners as well!“

“This place is a pleasure to visit whether you’re buying a bike or not. You can stop in for a beer and talk with the awesome patrons and knowledgeable staff and browse their extensive inventory. I was looking for a bike for my son to ride with me and get him off the video games. I wanted to get him a bike that he would enjoy and not get tired and the FX e-bike fit the bill. Todd Mater heard my story and said when next week’s shipment came in, he’d hold a bike for me. 3 days later he responded and I went in to check it and another bike out. They were more then happy to set me up with any bike I wanted to test - they are located right on a world class bike trail and I was free to test it out. Mr. Bill Hellwig is an older gentleman with extensive knowledge and shared with me everything he knew from his years of experience in biking and helped guide me in my decision. When I finally settled on what I wanted they made sure everything was adjusted and in perfect order. It was an awesome “new bike day” and they made the process a real pleasure. I highly recommend this bike shop!“

“I love sweet leaf! The food is amazing quality and the staff is even better! I come here every single day because of those two things. Linda, Israel, Chris, Patricia, Sandra and I know I’m forgetting other names but every single person is beyond incredible at their jobs. They anticipate needs and take care you in a way that not even expensive restaurants down the corner could do. Because I’m a regular, they know my preferences and actually care to remember! 🥹I also love that the menu changes (ever so slightly) with seasons. Been coming here for years and it’s only gotten better especially under Linda’s leadership 💖❤️“

“I love this place because it has many food options, everything is very delicious ✨“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
First Watch was a delight! The food was fresh, with vibrant flavors—loved the avocado toast and their signature coffee. Service was friendly and quick, and the cozy atmosphere made it a perfect brunch spot. Especially, the one and only, Marvin was great!!! Highly recommend!“

“I wanted to say that I have been several times over the years. Although things are a little pricey they are always well done and delicious. In addition, I wanted to give a special shout out to Nicki who is a ray of sunshine and always goes the extra mile to ensure that customers are taken care of. To finish, the lavender lattes are a particular favorite of mine and the tempura crab cakes I had most recently were really divine. 4.75 stars“

“Great service, super fresh and tasty - I'm becoming addicted!“

“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 ?“
