13 Best Cafes in Reston

“Visited The Commons Fooderie and had a really pleasant experience. The food was fresh and full of flavour, especially the grilled sandwich which was perfectly toasted and paired well with crispy chips and a delicious dip. The drinks, particularly the strawberry matcha latte, were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The café itself has a lovely, bright atmosphere with stylish décor and lots of natural light, making it a great place to relax. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, and the central location makes it an easy and convenient spot to visit. Would definitely recommend and will be back again.“

“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!“

“A traditional LBS(Local Bike Store). The shop works with its customers for their mutual benefit (revenue for the shop, service for the customer), as it should be, not biasing the transaction to either party. The service crew is warm, friendly, and helpful. I hope that I have found my new LBS for supporting my bicycling habit. Love that they incorporate a coffee shop & brewery into their operation too.“

“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 💖❤️“

“This is a pretty average Panera, similar to most other locations. The food quality is decent and consistent, though I do feel it’s a bit overpriced for what you get.
Employees are generally okay to good—nothing exceptional, but no major issues either. Location is almost brand new, but parking is definitely a downside. Street parking is paid (24 hours), and while there’s an adjacent garage, I didn’t notice any dedicated parking for Panera—most spots seem reserved. Overall, not very convenient, especially for a suburban area where easier parking is usually expected.“

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

“I had a great experience at First Watch in Virginia. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our server did a great job making sure we had everything we needed.

The food was excellent and tasted very fresh. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and everything is made to order. The portions were generous, and everything was presented nicely. The menu also has a good variety, with both classic breakfast options and some unique dishes.

Overall, it was a really enjoyable breakfast experience with great service and great food. I would definitely recommend First Watch and look forward to going back again.“

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

“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“

“Tatte Bakery in Reston offers a beautiful space and delicious food—everything from the pastries to the coffee is thoughtfully made and full of flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. That said, the service could be more attentive and efficient, and cleanliness (especially around tables and restrooms) could use some improvement. Still, the quality of the food and overall vibe make it worth a visit.“
