I reviewed 29th Parallel Coffee back in 2015 - but when I did - it was located off of U.S. 50 in…read morethe City of Fairfax (VA). This morning I saw a "coffee" sign in the retail complex I was in - in Fairfax Station - so I went in to grab some more caffeine after breakfast - turns out it is a "29th Parallel Coffee." Apparently the location that used to be in Fairfax City - up and relocated to Fairfax Station - since my original 2015 review is attached to this business listing. It feels smaller on the inside compared to the previous location. I ordered a large cold brew with Half n' Half. I guess they were out of translucent cups - as the cold brew was served up in a paper cup. There is are a few small tables inside, and free WiFi for those needing to do some work. Cold brew was pretty good overall. Paid with Apple Pay. #29thParallelCoffee

I was sad to see that they don't offer 'housemade' pastries anymore, as I remember seeing in their past photos; their menu for their offerings was clearly updated. In addition, the drinks that we ordered were just not good at all: +the Toasted Marshmallow Latte - prepared with 2 shots of espresso, choice of milk, and a housemade toasted marshmallow syrup; this tasted like watered down coffee with no 'toasted marshmallow' taste; coffee could have been prepared strong, and we did ask for 'extra hot', but received it regular temperature +Witch's Potion - an apple cider with chai, topped with a dash of cinnamon; probably one of the worst ciders we've had - wasn't really sure the mixture with the chai, but this just seemed like it was an improperly steeped tea that did not have any flavor The staff were friendly, and there seemed to be local patrons who come here on a regular basis. The blue mobile truck is very cute, and they had some seating available with nice fall decor. I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but no dice, Bear and Swan. +watered down lattes +avoid the ciders +friendly service +updated schedule on their social media

Stopped by this coffee truck in the parking lot of the Hunt Valley Swim Club. They are located in…read morethe West Springfield Burke area. There is plenty of parking. You can easily stop by if you're in the area. Their schedule changes so check their social media beforehand. The couple was friendly and kind. I ordered the cherry vanilla latte that I enjoyed. It was tasty and pretty. Also tried the chocolate croissant. It looks like they have fall drinks so I will be trying pumpkin next time. They have a small seating area where you could have your coffee and pastry with a friend.

I haven't had any that our family did not like. Mostly get the cream filled pastries but also some of the croissants.

Absolutely obsessed with De Clue Coffee -- this place is a total gem in Fairfax! From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe just wraps around you like your favorite cozy sweater. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!

This time, I ordered the turkey Havarti sandwich, which is always very, very good. It comes with turkey, Havarti cheese, an avocado spread, and what I believe is ciabatta bread. It's simple, fresh, and really well done. The price makes it even better. For $6, you get a solid, filling sandwich plus a bag of chips, which is hard to beat. Everything tastes fresh and well put together. The shop itself is clean, festive, and very cute. It has such a cozy atmosphere, and it's one of my favorite places to study--I'm here at least twice a week. Overall, it's a great spot with great food, great service, and a welcoming environment that keeps me coming back.
