Cool coffee shop, the vibe is amazing. Definitely a spot you can go to and get some work done…read morewithout feeling rushed. Coffee was solid, smooth and well made. The whole setup just feels different in a good way. If you're into rock climbing, Vertical Rock is right beside it which makes it even better. You've got people coming in and out, working, climbing, just a good mix of energy all around. I'll definitely be back.

FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5…read moreEXPERIENCE: 4/5 I came here after a doctor's appointment to try to wait out the rain and get caffeinated after hearing so much about this place. The barista helped us out with any questions and was very kind. It was super cozy. The seating was extremely comfortable and I can see myself being here for a while. There was some cute merch too. The place was decorated with colorful posters of the outdoors, which followed the decor of what was in the rock climbing gym upstairs. Speaking of upstairs, you have to use the rock climbing gym's bathroom and the elevator was out of order. It wasn't a short jaunt either to go up the stairs (lol) so this was a bit inconvenient, which made us have to leave earlier than we wanted to. My husband is disabled and it would be difficult for him to use the bathroom upstairs without the elevator working - and there was no ETA on when it'd get fixed. This is an ADA violation to not have an accessible bathroom. FOOD/DRINK: They do have snacks and food to purchase but I did not get some this time around. I got the house special of an iced spiced demerara latte with oatmilk (rich, brown sugar, cinnamon syrup) - it was delightful and delicious. Just the right balance. Hubby got cherry lime espresso fizz (on the summer specials menu). He enjoyed it but I didn't particularly like it (too bitter imho). I couldn't see what brand coffee they used, which I like to know since there are certain brands that bother me. But this place didn't bother me. They do have non-dairy/alternative milk. I would come again if I were in the area but I wouldn't really seek it out. I've had better coffee but I've also had worse. Not sure if the hype lived up.

After being lured into Tous Les Jours by Yelp (apparently the spot to check out), I decided to give…read moreit a try. There's some parking available right outside, and despite living in McLean for several years, I hadn't realized there's actually a food hall in the building. That alone makes it a decent option for teleworking or a casual stop. As for the food--it reminded me quite a bit of Paris Baguette. Cakes seemed slightly more expensive, while pastries were more in line price-wise. I tried a jalapeño cheese croissant, a garlic butter bun, spinach egg bites, and a tiramisu iced coffee. The croissant was just okay, but the garlic butter bun stood out--nicely balanced between salty and sweet, and definitely the highlight. The egg bites were comparable to Starbucks; honestly, it's hard to say which is better, but Starbucks might have the edge in both portion size and price. The tiramisu iced coffee leaned too sweet--my partner especially felt it was a bit overdone. Ambiance was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would I come back? Probably to try the cakes. Otherwise, it's not a place I'd rush back to--but still worth checking out once.

It's quite fun for the first time. The offering and taste of coffee is okay. The service is a bit slow and there tends to be a line.

As for the drinks, the Iced coffee was not good and the Korean Ice Milk Coffee was also not good. Both drinks were extremely watered down and didn't taste right like other locations. The breads were decent. Nothing much to say as this is standard. I ordered a slice of cake and it was beyond sweet and dry. I'm not sure if I received day old cake but it was a waste of money. Would not recommend coming here unless you really need a quick bite.

Passion de Amor - zesty and flavorful Spicy Crunchy shrimp roll - Amazing. Fresh, flavorful, delicious. 2nd visit: sol de fuego cocktail - citrusy and refreshing but also watered down. Sliders - tender meat and sauce has good flavor Now, come the drawbacks: for $20+, i shouldn't be finishing my drink after 4 sips b/c its filled to the brim with ice. Outrageous. While the hostess is warm and wonderful, I was not approached once by the bartenders until I'd practically finished eating - the bar was completely empty except for some people on the patio. Perhaps the automatic 20% tip added on to every bill is a recipe for apathy.
