Coffee Shops near South Riding

“Absolutely love this coffee shop! The coffee is the best I’ve had; rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed. The tiramisu waffle was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The staff were super friendly and made me feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place for anyone who loves great coffee and desserts!“

“This is the best nicest crew! They work hard and are always kind! We love supporting our local daily Starbucks crew! 🥰🐶“

“Dunkin is Dunkin, hard to mess up. Food is fine for what it is. Drive through service is where they get the 1 star. They bark at you through the speaker, no hello, good morning, you know, common curtesy. Staff used to be much better and friendly but now just don’t expect much. I know it’s not a glamorous job but it’s not hard to say good morning or hello vice what do you want… *Edit* Review updated after a few months of better service at the drive through. Still the occasional bark but much more thanks and your welcomes and how may i help you todays. Upgraded to 4 stars. Atmosphere is still 2, its dunkin donuts people, lets not get carried away with panache...“

“I stopped by this McDonald’s for breakfast after a ride in the area, and I was really impressed with the team’s friendliness, the cleanliness, and the quality of the food. Thank you to everyone here for your hard work and great attitude.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I am quite literally at CAFEIN almost every day. I am a regular at Chantilly location. My partner is a regular at Centreville location. Most workers know both of us separately. I want to start off by saying CAFEIN has hands down the BEST coffee in all of DMV. Nothing compares. I can tell when a business is using CAFEIN beans. That’s how good and unique and high quality it is, there is a reason I’m there every day, and MOST workers are sweet, kind, and amazing. Truly. Every interaction has been nothing short of top tier customer service EXCEPT for one singular person who has repeatedly been rude. At this point CAFEIN needs to step in and discuss this persons behavior and if they want to be associated and represented in this way.

I think this person is a manager at the Chantilly location. She is an Asian female, and unfortunately she has made a terrible reputation for herself as being the rude worker here, trust me she’s known for that for anybody who goes to This location. Firstly I don’t understand the 3pm closing time, but second if a business says 3pm closing time, that doesn’t mean 2:55pm. That means you TAKE ORDERS TILL 3pm. That’s how all businesses work. If your hours are REALLY till 2:45pm then set your business hours officially to that time. This woman has repeatedly rudely spoken to customers, including myself to get them out of the store as it nears 3pm. She comes around and interrupts conversations to make sure they know when to leave. She doesn’t take orders sometimes when it’s nearing 3pm. She shuts off online orders too, to avoid anybody coming in before closing. She isn’t nice about it either, she’s rude in how she speaks to customers.
Today I walk in, a small family with one child walks in front of me, and at 2:58pm (I know it was end of day and that’s my bad) but she immediately says WE CLOSE AT 3PM, and turns everybody away. The small child says but it’s not 3! And frowns as we all walk out. I look forward to my coffee as one of the best parts of my day and truly think CAFEIN is amazing but this one manager is just so rude. Just change your hours if you don’t actually take orders before 3pm, if you don’t plan on getting rid of this rude woman. Everybody at Centreville location is so nice to my partner he is met with being treated with familiarity and inclusivity as somebody who’s a regular. He was on the phone with me when I walked in today & was shocked they turned me away before 3. This was not the first time btw there was one or two times in the past I had even called in & said hey I placed a pickup order and my eta was 3pm on the dot and I have pulled up & had the door locked on me or still been met with WE ARE CLOSED rudely by solely only her. She needs an attitude check. Maybe she doesn’t belong in a coffee shop where you need to have a friendly personality.“

“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!“

“I recently heard about My Cravingsz through at event with the International Business Council event with the Prince William Chamber of Commerce where the son of the family owned business was speaking. I am so happy I had the change to try it today with my Aunt, who was visiting from out of town. We both loved it! What a beautiful place with so many delicious offerings! We really enjoyed the whole experience and event purchased several items from the bakery to take home. I will definitely be back and being others to visit this Manassas gem!“
