Okay, first things first, this spot is SO cute. I did not realize that the theme was LOTR despite being a huge LOTR fan, so it was a nice surprise when I stopped in. While there, I grabbed a latte and the Thorin breakfast biscuit. To add prosciutto it would have been an extra $3, which would have made the breakfast biscuit $9.25. Does that feel excessive? Yes. Do I wish I had done it? Also yes. The biscuit was good but it needed something else and I do think the meat would have been a good add. The latte was just okay. We're very lucky to have so many good coffee spots in the area so they are up against steep competition. Overall, really neat concept, cute spot, great for teleworking.

Stopped by after trying out the sauna at Melt Well right next door. It was quiet and not at all packed, plenty of seating around 2pm Friday. The oatmeal cream pie that looked to be the size of my head, caught my eye and it did not disappoint. The cream was not super sweet which was nice and the oatmeal cookie part was soft! I also got their fruit blend tea, iced. I think next time I'll add a point or two of their syrups for a bit more sweetness.

8/24/2025-order counter with menu
Eddie P.

Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Ambience: 5 Date/Time: 8/24/2025 12pm Crowd: 1/4 full Order: Aragorn, Balrog This is a really unique set up for a restaurant. The seating area is fully open concept with plush chairs all around along with tables and chairs along the perimeter. And in the middle is a full sofa with chairs facing it. In the back are bookcases full of books. In the front right as you enter is a kids area for reading/playing too. At the very back is the order counter with the kitchen hidden behind it. Orders are delivered fairly quick and most everything is self-serve (ordering, drink refills, etc). The Aragorn is a very tasty sandwich (1/2 order is plenty) with the habanero jam (not overly hot as the name would suggest). The Balrog was also good with a bit more heat to it. Both are on the Italian bread which is both thick and hard so a little difficult to bite into. Croissant would probably have been better. Definitely recommend it but ask for the croissant if you like a softer bite into your sandwich.

The Gandalf

You want one of the best sandwiches you've ever had? This is your place. Two of us Gals stopped in after our pedicures next door to bring home dinner for the guys. We got lucky cause it was $5 wine night, so we each got a glass of Cabernet while we waited for our sandwiches to go. Order at the counter. They give you a number and you can relax at a table, couch, chair, nice options. I took home a Treebeard for me and Gandalf for Husband. Other Gal got two Legolas for them. Later she texted me that they ate every bite cause they were "out of this world". We would agree with ours being fantastic. Mine was very rich and huge, so I saved half of it for lunch the next day and YUM to both meals. Love that they serve it with potato chips with ranch dressing to dip. It was a nice surprise touch that was deliciously appreciated.

The Arwen Biscuits and Cinnamon Roll.
Heather H.

Lovely local book, wine, beer, coffee spot. Multiple tables good for a couple of people up to 5 or 6. We went for for the first time for brunch and both got The Arwen Biscuit, a cinnamon roll to split and coffees. While the bacon on the biscuit was plentiful and perfectly cooked, the biscuit itself was a bit greasy. The cinnamon roll was tasty. The gal running the register didn't seem like she wanted to be there: when I asked for cold brew she said they don't have that (although online previous pictures showed it on the menu), so I explained this was my first time there, did she have any suggestions she said there are other coffees, so I chose an iced Americano with a special syrup (that was on the chalkboard on the wall) and she said they didnt have that, so again asked for a suggestion and 'any of the other ones are good' was the response. We then asked for a cinnamon roll (as we could see one still in the case) & she informed me she was out of those as well, however when I looked at the one in the case she turned and said 'oh wait, we might have 1 left'. The first line of customer service was a bit disappointing, and the time it took to get out coffees and food, but the woman working in the back (the cook maybe?) that brought out our food was very kind and welcoming. Worth checking out, as it is locally owned & quite unique, but I think if I try it again it might in the evening for a glass of wine instead.

Returned for the food and it was so good! At the bar we ordered the Aragorn half sandwich half salad and the Treebeard. I immediately wanted to return the next day it was too delicious. The portions were also larger than we anticipated. We paired the meal with lemon poppy seed bread and hot tea. The tea was just okay, but it may have been because it was shadowed by the incredible food. The pesto in the Treebeard sandwich would outshine anything else. The employees are welcoming and helpful. We chose to sit outside and they brought the food to us. Afterwards we returned the dishes to the bin above the trash can. Overall, we certainly enjoyed our meal here and look forward to returning!

The Hobbit w/ salad and the Arragon in a wrap
Marie S.

Nice little place if you want to read a book, play board games, eat or enjoy a drink. I went for lunch and sat at the tables outside. It was comfortable. We placed our order with a very nice cashier and the gave us a number so they could bring our food out when ready. I ordered the Hobbit which was a delicious salad and a wrap. The wrap flavor was good but the wrap was so Stale that it broke apart- I ended up taking it off the meat and throwing it out. Parking was packed (big lot just busy) Bathroom was clean.

I'd say this is 3.5-4 stars. The coffee and baked gods were great which is the 4 stars. The 3.5 is for the sandwiches. The London fog and affogato were very tasty. Make sure you grab the oatmeal cream pie. It's massive and so delicious. The merry pippin sandwich I didn't like that the sauce was cold and the sandwich was warmed up. They should have warmed the whole thing up not just the croissant. I loved the boromir sandwich though. The employees were incredibly nice and helpful.

Arwen breakfast sandwich and iced coffee
BreAna M.

This place has a nice cozy vibe! Plenty of mixed seating inside and a few tables outside. I stopped in for coffee and tried one of their biscuit breakfast sandwiches which was delicious! The person at the register was super nice and gave good recommendations. I'll have to come back to check out then beer selection.

I went here several times before realizing where my money was going. Unfortunately, this establishment is republican-owned and run. The books and events are very conservative-leaning. It's disappointing to say the least. Check out some of their book titles online before deciding to spend your money here. Know what you're funding.

Came here with hubby to kill some time before an appointment and I'm so glad he found it! Located in the Brennan Station off of Creedmoor, right near tropical smoothie and foot massage spa. Very relaxed atmosphere, plenty of tables, volume is that of a typical coffee shop IMO. But this place has coffee, non coffee, beers, wine, food, books, and WiFi! Great place to meet up with others or get some work in. I ordered a few plates and loved everyone. The Galadriel is like a caprese sandwich and I loved it, wish I could have toasted it but it was still delicious! The plates come with chips and ranch. The chai latte was also delicious and I would come back just for that. The employees are friendly and treat you great. Would love to come back to this spot!

I love Beow's! It's such a great atmosphere! It feels like a coffee shop (because it is)! But it has some amazing events throughout the month! And it turns into a low-key bar at night! Big fan of that! They also have a book store! The service is amazing, and they will even help you hack the system! (Maybe not hack) but definitely shared their hot water with me multiple times after I bought a cup of tea! The food is awesome! I'll have to update this review eventually with the sandwiches! But my favorite is the Galadriel which is a sandwich with mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, and extra-virgin olive oil on Italian bread! Their breakfast is nice and simple! I had the Arwen which is a bacon egg and cheese biscuit! The biscuit was great but unfortunately the bacon was cold... I didn't complain about it because they were busy, but I am positive they would have made it right! I have had multiple lattes from Beow's and they never disappoint! In my picture today was a butter scotch latte! Which was delicious! Their beer is pretty good, and have a decent wine selection as well!! Overall, my rating of a 4/5 is solely because my biscuit was cold... however everything else about this place is a true vibe!

Italian style sub and a really nice fresh salad
Martin H.

Delightful staff. Nice menu with some great options. Wife and I both decided on the salad/sub combo which was a substantial meal for lunch. Lots of space and seating options. Very nice experience for a first time visit. Will return to try some other options. Oh, and the coffee was very good too!

Just wanted to take the time to clap for the staff here…read more I've only been here twice now. But both times the service was SO fast. I came here on a week day and it was packed but the kitchen seemed steady. Their service is very stream lined with pagers for food orders. There is a lot of seating but it also seems to be a place where a good chunk of people come to work. They have a library inside as well and the books at the time were all $3 ea. Today I came and it's a Sunday. As expected they were SLAMMED. Line to the door of people waiting and line to the door of people ordering. I still got my coffee in less than 5 min. People waiting on food were getting theirs in similar time. The staff was killing it! They have a large selection of baked goods (lots of laminated dough), fast casual breakfast & lunch, and a huge coffee menu. They also have gluten free options for food and about a dozen gf/df baked goods. They said they have separate prep space and changed gloves for gluten free food but it's a shared oven. I didn't have any issues though. To who ever is managing your kitchen and staff, you're doing a great job. To the staff, hats off Highly recommend this place for a light breakfast and good coffee, or just a good place to hang out on your laptop.

Obviously it's a favorite spot for catching up with friends over drinks and pastries. Step inside and the mood shifts to something cozy. There's plenty of room to get work done or browse a good book while you enjoy your drink. The coffee and treats are great. If I could suggest one tweak, it's that the place gets pretty crowded--I'd love to see even more space!

I chose this place to catch up with a friend at, and it was my first time bringing my baby outnso I was a bit nervous, but the place looked super clean and roomy. Which are both necessities for a mom bringing a little baby in a stroller. While I read in a review that someone mentioned about this location not having a cozy feel, it really depends on what a person is looking for in a coffeeshop. If you need good coffee and a good space to catch up with a friend or get some work done in a clean setting, this is perfect. If you are looking for aesthetics, well there is no art or knicknacks that give ither coffeeshops character but I don't feel this place needs it. It is clean and inviting on its own and as someone who is slightly claustrophobic this place is awesome with the amount of seating it has (Nora cafe in comparison was a place that frustrated me so much due to it being hard to find seating at all). I ordered the pistachio flavored matcha which tasted tasted amazing (first time tasting so much of the nutty flavor come out in a pistachio drink), and I also got the Norwegian pancake with banana and Nutella + hashbrown. Such an awesome afternoon combo! My baby was also quite relaxed for most of the visit as well which speaks volumes!

I ordered a build it your self sandwich that came out to about $10. The cost of food and the quality - I felt it was worth the pricing. Will be back to taste some of the other food items and coffee.

On a nicer day you can sit outside if you prefer. My daughter ordered the waffle with Nutella, and since she wanted syrup, we added the cinnamon glaze. She really enjoyed it. I do wish they had whipped cream as an option because I feel like waffles and whipped cream just go together, but that's honestly a small thing. I ordered the avocado toast with the fried egg on top and also the house-made granola. I did not realize the granola serving was going to be so big, so I definitely over-ordered, but no regrets because everything was so good. The avocado toast was delicious. The bread was soft, fresh, and filling, and the whole thing was just really satisfying. I ended up taking the granola to go, and later that day when I ate it, I was like wow... it was still amazing. Honestly one of the best granola and yogurt bowls I've had. So good. I also got an almond latte. Nothing overly fancy, just a solid latte done well. Staff were friendly and patient, especially with my daughter wanting to order. That always means a lot. Another plus: plenty of parking, and they have two single-stall bathrooms, which is helpful. I also really like the Lafayette Village area in general. After you eat, you can walk around, hang out, and enjoy the area a bit. So it can be a quick coffee stop, or you can make a little outing out of it. Definitely worth checking out.
