AMBIANCE: Cute cafe in the springfield VA area-- i didn't…read moreeven know it was here to the point i thought it was a brand new spot! The hostess let me know they had been there for 2 years. it's a small space but cozy to work it. definately not somewhere you want to post up but good if you're going to stop for about an hour or so to do some WFH work. SERVICE: So i've been craving coconut latte or a vanilla latte with coconut milk you'd be surpised to hear that not many cafe's have coconut milk as an option. so i decided to call and the hostess was very kind. when i arrived she realized it was me who had called and made conversation. so very friendly! FOOD: Not fod but i got my vanilla latte in coconut milk and it was exactly what i wanted. not too sweet and i can be sure my stomach won't be upset due to the fact that it's made in coconut milk! love it.

My espresso was dessert. They both were perfect. My DD liked her panini, though wished had fewer onions and peppers. The place was cute, clean and the service was friendly and quick. We will definitely go again.

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.

Located in a more industrial area of Springfield, you can find random eateries and cafes around. We ordered: +a latte with oat milk +and, a Mexican Mocha - prepeared with espresso and Mexican mocha mix, topped with whipped cream and chili flakes Both drinks were not piping hot and more lukewarm; the whipped cream was artificial, and the chili flakes seemed old and expired as it had an off-putting taste to it; both drinks had a weird aftertaste and as just not enjoyable. The place itself is set up nicely, with a few tables and large buckets of coffee beans. Parking was easy, as there are plenty of spaces in the spot. +not-so-great coffee +parking available

There is a reason this coffee shop is rated almost 5 stars. For me it definitely is the best coffee…read moreI have had in the northern va area. I don't even live close to it but try to get it as much as I can lol. All of the baristas are so friendly. Because I have been there so often they know me now and know my drink :) The shop inside is super cute and aethestic. They offer seasonal drinks and every one that I have tried was really good . I have tried almost all of their drinks and have nothing bad to say. The ingredients they use are high quality and you can taste it in the drinks. They offer matcha flights as well and whenever I walk in I see plenty of people enjoying them so I know it's a big hit. I will also say they go over the top for customer service. My two year old got a pastry on one of our visits and ended up having an allergic reaction. The owner was so sweet. He reached out to me via text and also provided all of the ingredients listed so that we could figure out what she reacted to. Great customer service and amazing drinks. I am definitely a regular here :)

Nice bright, airy space; very helpful staff. Plenty of seating. The menu says the bing-soo takes 15 min, but ours was out in 7-8. Biiiig. Very pretty presentation. Tasty. The roasted dandelion bing-soo had a coffee-ish flavor. Half sweetness level was plenty sweet. We'll be back, for sure. Overalls very nice, 4.33-star experience.

My husband likes the little sugar donuts, they are very tasty. All of the danishes and croissants are fantastic. Well made,a lot of butter. The apple danish/turnover was my favorite. My mom loves the Portuguese egg tart. She gives it one of the biggest compliments - it's not too sweet. My dad enjoyed the more savory items (ham and cheese croissant). All their cakes look delicious, I haven't tried any yet but I think next time there's a holiday, I'll definitely stop by. They also have a lot of drinks i have yet to try. It's never been too busy around 8/9 am on a weekend morning, and the employees are very nice.

We love the location in…read moreAnnandale, and my family is very happy to now have this beautiful, clean, and delicious place a walking distance from our house. It's become very popular very fast though, so it's hard to find seating most of the time unless you go on a weekday morning after rush hour:( Two things I would recommend are adding more seating (perhaps even outdoor seating for the summer?), and having smaller trays/paper plates as options. Some of the tables inside are tiny, and the large trays barely fit on them, so it would be great to have a smaller option, especially when you're only getting 1-2 small baked goods. Very excited to have this yummy cafe in the neighborhood and hope the quality stays amazing!

Service was quick, which is exactly what I needed since I was picking up breakfast before heading into work. The star of the show was the English toffee cookie. I ordered one so I could have it as a little dessert for lunch later and it was incredible. I could eat 87 of those cookies.
