Really amazing cafe that differentiates itself by making their entire pastry case in-house. It was…read morereally hard to select anything to eat because all the pastries were fresh and beautifully baked with toasted with a rich golden brown. I got the savory pie that was stuffed with an unctuous gumbo filling made with creole spices, the holy trinity (onions, peppers, and celery), and a generous portion of chicken. The pie pastry had a perfect flaky crumb that held the filling together. A friend had their breakfast sandwich, which had a rustic and delightful tang from the inclusion of sourdough in the biscuit batter that paired well with the thick slab of egg and crispy bacon. Incredibly savory items. I'm always gravitated towards how well a cafe can do a savory menu and this exceed my expectations. Friends I came in with who got their coffee said that it was very delicious, and the baristas can make a beautiful frothy and rich matcha latte. Its both parts technical skills to pull coffee or whisk matcha and sourcing of high-quality ingredients. Drinks make up a large part of any cafe, so to do it well here in this neighborhood cafe is exceptional. The baristas are running that place like a tight ship! Tip well!

A cute, quaint little coffee shop that was located near our rental. We wanted a little spot for a…read morequick breakfast before we got started with our day. This place is very popular, as it was still pretty busy even on a weekday later in the morning. Service was friendly and quick. There's plenty of tables and seating inside, thankfully. I got the honey matcha latte. It was good and refreshing, but not very sweet. My daughter got the strawberry matcha latte and she really liked it. Some of the matcha separated in both of our drinks, so I think it could have been mixed a little longer. My daughter also got the quiche and she loved it. I got the tomato egg and goat cheese sandwich on a house made sourdough biscuit and it was amazing. It was also a very generous portion.

Once you have great matcha it's hard to ever go back, the taste is immediately noticeable. The service is always quick and the ambiance is cute!

Mind you we live 30 mins away, I come here just for matcha.

This place is not easy to find. Its front door is not on a Main Street but rather on a side road of…read morethe Main Street. The place is nice and gives small coffee shop vibe. I would definitely visit again as during my visit, a group of loud and obnoxious teens destroyed the ambiance. Rithy was very patient and friendly. He took the time to guide us through their menu and make his recommendations. This place is perfect for any matcha lover you know of. The iced Maple and sea salt matcha was delicious as well as the iced mango matcha. As they use ceremonial matcha, it is not pre-sweetened so if you love matcha without sugar, you can get it here. Although I took the order to go, if you choose to eat in, your drink is prepared in a ceramic mug. They have so many unique cheesecake flavors and the place I have seen that you can get basque cheesecake anytime of the year. The bathroom is a bit hard to find and locate. Additionally, it is a bit far from the location.

I also got cookies & cream & cookie dough flavors, so it wasn't like I was trying anything too exotic...

Today it was Butter Brickle and Black Forest. The former is gorgeously smooth, buttery, with just the right amount of toffee. Not a hint of artificial in it. And Black Forest, i'll happily choose that over a cream laden black forest cake. Partner tried vanilla today, rates it above ice cream chain and grocery store vanillas. Again, all about the milk, recipes, small batch, and consistency. Student at the cash register was helpful and quick, ambiance with the miniature figurines is always a draw.

I really wanted to love this place…read more My family and I chose to come here for Easter because it's dog-friendly -- which felt like the perfect combination for us. They even have a dog menu, and the patio setup is honestly beautiful. The ambiance is warm, inviting, and aesthetically on point. The staff greets you right away, and first impressions were genuinely great. We chose to sit outside on the balcony so my puppy could join us, and that space alone is worth noting -- fire pits going, cozy atmosphere, just really well done. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. We ordered food for all of us, including my daughter and my puppy. My food and my puppy's food came out fairly quickly, but my daughter's meal never arrived. After waiting quite a while, I had to flag down the waiter, only to be told -- after the fact -- that they didn't even have what she ordered. At no point before that did anyone communicate this. So now she has to reorder, and we're waiting all over again while the rest of us are already eating. When her food finally arrives, there's no silverware. Just... dropped off with no thought to the fact that she actually needed utensils to eat. We also ordered lemonade, which was great -- but when the waiter offered to bring more after the issues, it never came. To try and make up for things, they brought out a dessert that looked beautiful, but when we asked what was in it (due to food sensitivities), the waiter had no idea. He eventually came back with an allergy sheet, which felt like an afterthought rather than informed service. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. Instead, the waiter told me, "I just got out of trouble -- what can I do to make this right?" That response alone was incredibly off-putting and unprofessional. We ultimately just had my daughter's meal removed from the bill and decided to move on. Even my puppy's waffles -- which was one of the things we were most excited about -- came out slightly burnt. Overall, the lack of communication, poor follow-through, and disorganized service completely overshadowed what could have been a great experience. It's disappointing because the space and concept have so much potential. Unfortunately, I can't overlook the service issues.

My absolute favorite though is the black sesame latte, it's packed with toasty sesame flavor without being grainy at all. This location in Falls Church will validate your parking, and their service is very quick which helps a lot! I do wish they offered their drinks with a larger variety of sweetness though. Currently their only options are 100%, 50%, and 0%, but even 50% for some of their drinks can be a little too sweet.

The mango syrup added a nice fruity sweetness. The rice mochi was quite plain, chewy, and a bit too large. It didn't really hold onto the ice cream well. The only thing that was weird to me was texture of the ice cream, it was slightly grainy for some reason which is peculiar. I also felt it was a bit expensive for what it was. I've only tried their ice cream and haven't had a chance to try any of their drinks yet.

Delivery review ahead…read more I was craving a really good breakfast sandwich and this place delivered just that! When I talk about quality sandwiches, Semicolon cafe wins! The packaging was handled with care so both of my sandwiches arrived nice and hot. I ordered the B.E.L.T and a grilled cheese. The B.E.L.T was a conversation starter, the bread was buttery and smooth-melts right in your mouth after each bite. The egg with corn, never tried that combo but honey, it was fantastic!!!! The bacon was quite generous and prepared with the perfect crisp and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, complementing the sandwich. The sauce on top was a shining star! So much flavor spread evenly throughout the sandwich. My boyfriend loved his grilled cheese sandwich which came with bacon and spinach. Definitely glad that I found this place! I'll order again and this time I want to try their lattes.
