What a gem of a spot. Came here to watch some FIFA Soccer and enjoy some brews. Caboose delivered on both! Actually it delivered on something else as well, the food. The nachos were delicious. 10/10 would recommend! The radish and pickled onions are a great addition to nachos at any point. The service was on point and the ambiance is well, super cool! Recommend coming here for any occasion. read more

Fun little local brewery! Been here twice - once during the holidays & recently for a private party. THE DEETS Large venue with both indoor & outdoor areas. Inside is three levels and outside has two different areas. BEVS & FOOD Great selection of craft beer and food bites. Easy ordering and friendly service. AMBIANCE Both times they had live music which was awesome. My grips are the parking which is practically non-existent and you are most likely gonna be forced to park across a four lane road which is fun to traverse! Also the private party was in June and it was incredibly hot with no AC circulating and all the guests were melting. For the price my friend paid to rent the space I'd be pissed & would not recommend it. Other than that it is a neat little place if you go when the weathers nice, lol. As always peeps, please support your local small biz! Cheers! read more

Beers and burgers. Great spot for meeting with large groups because the inside is actually quite large and there is some amount. There's a top area that is usually open, but for a Sunday afternoon was reserved. Almost the whole day for events. The downstairs area has a couple of high tops and a couple of normal tables and window bar seating. Parking can get a little bit tight here, even though the place is pretty big. There's parking across the street in Mosaic District, but I can also get crowded on the weekend especially when there's a farmers market. I ordered the mushroom burger that came with a side so of course I had to get fries. The bird itself is quite good and it was cooked well. My friend ordered the sweet potato fries and to be honest the salt and the crunch on the normal fries were better than the sweet potato fries. Great spot to just chill and hang out with friends. read more

I attended their Oyster Festival this past weekend. The grilled and fried oysters were delicious. However, they did not have horseradish for the oysters. Horseradish is a must for oysters. I hope they consider it for the next event. It is a great atmosphere. They have outdoor seating with activities. They also have live music if you like to sing or dance. The establishment is huge. It reminds me of a warehouse or Barndominium. I belive there is an upstairs providing a loft style vibe. The service is more food drop off, not a lot of interaction with the staff. They also have QR codes to provide self services. The drinks were great. They offer beer flights if you are into beer and they also have cocktails. Overall, it is a family friendly place. They have good food and you will be entertained read more

Brewery & coffee shop with a bunch of food options as well You can either order at the counter or through a QR code I came here with my fiance for breakfast. We each got a latte and we split a yogurt bowl and a BEC - everything was delicious! Food came out very quickly read more

Very cute interior. Probably great for cocktails and booze. Cute outdoor patio outside, which is kid and pet friendly. That said, I probably wouldn't come here again and call myself enjoying coffee. I met up with a couple of colleagues and ordered the Biscoff iced latte. It was absolutely terrible. I even had them remake it because the first time it was made, it tasted like nothing. They gladly remade it, and it was a bit sweeter and more flavorful the second time, but it definitely wasn't worth a nine dollar price tag. I also appreciated how kind the staff members were, but we waited more than 15 minutes for coffee when we placed an order through the QR code whereas people who walked in and purchased coffee got their coffee almost instantaneously. Overall, it's a cute little craft brewery vibe. Not great coffee, but there's ample seating and it's really close to Mosaic. read more

I have been to Caboose last year and had a good experience and this year I went back with friends for some after dinner drinks and snacks. Since it was a warm night we decided to sit outside, there was still plenty of space available on a Friday night. I do have to say that the tables were a little dirty. I got the Drunken Barista cocktail and really liked it, it wasn't too sweet which I liked. The menu has something for everyone and the food quality is pretty good for a brewery. I also like the fact that you can simply order from your seat with a QR code and they bring out the food shortly after. I love their bistro lights outside, it really makes for a cozy atmosphere! It also wasn't too loud despite it being pretty busy. They have ample parking on site but you can also park in any of the adjacent garages at Mosaic District. read more

I've never been to a brewery that also serves cafe items before. I ended up hanging with friends here and it seems like a great place to hangout or have larger group meetings. I ended up getting their kid's meal hamburger with the additional cheese, lettuce and tomato and it was a decent size. I also really liked the crisp fries that went with it. read more

Caboose is a perfect space for a casual hangout, meeting coworkers after work, and (as we found today): Tuesday trivia! We are local to the area and we love how Caboose always hosts fun events (like a Maker's Market). I have always loved Cabooses' drink selection (including their non-alcoholic cafe selections). Their food is also delish and easily shareable (my favorites are the pretzel and brussel sprouts). The QR code ordering system makes everything super easy and organized (I like how names are associated with orders so the servers have 2 ways to find where an order goes). I've also been to a few work events here and I love how there's multiple levels and areas that can be rented out for events. I like how the space is oriented. Need a quiet place to work on your laptop? There's a long countertop that faces some open windows or small tables to work. Have a larger group? There's bigger tables so that everyone can mix and mingle. I want to give a shoutout to Dave for welcoming our group today. Caboose is the definition of fun and chill vibes. We will definitely be back. read more

This is a very open and fun cafe/brewery that is great for hanging out at and even dog friendly in the outdoor area! Also great for brunch. Came here to do some remote work for a few hours and I liked the convenience of being able to scan a QR code at my table and order food either to stay and/or to go. So far I've tried their avocado toast and was pleasantly surprised by their gochujang mayo (as a Korean too)! I really liked how there was a good amount of flavor going on there, especially with the over easy egg because Koreans do mix fried eggs with gochujang flavors often. :) I also got the falafel wrap with chicken and also loved it! I'm a big fan of goat cheese too! 10/10 read more

We've been in the area for 10 days and been to Caboose at least as many times. We've stopped by in the morning almost daily for coffee and in the afternoons for snacks and boardgames. The kiddos love the root beer and lemonade and have had their fill of pretzels, nachos and probably half the menu. The food and service is top notch. read more

Food was poor to meh, and service was poor also. Of three items we ordered TBLT was the only one decent. Nachos came cold and without the chicken they were ordered with. Chicken wings were ordered extra crispy and arrived undercooked. As for the service, it was exactly the poor quality and entitled attitude you expect when asked to order on an app and pre-tip. First a manager type came out with crossed arms and an angry attitude saying an order we made 'confused the hell out of my barista!' Another server brought out a beer saying it was root beer - which could have been an issue becsuse one of our kids grabbed it for a sip. Then the next server seemed less than happy to fix the nacho issue, and was visibly put out when asked to bring the water we asked for, and asked again to bring cups for our kids to drink it with! This is a big town with many other options. Go elsewhere. read more

There was like no chicken in this wrap. I had probably 2 bites where I could taste the chicken. It was mainly lettuce. I would NOT recommend this wrap. Very disappointing. read more

Great place to come and hang out with friends over a beer, coffee, or tea. Nice indoor seating upstairs and on the main, entrance level. Nice seating outside as well. Orders are done with a QR code system, which makes paying simplified in a group setting. You don't really have that much iteraction with the staff, thus limited service. You only see them when they're bringing the food and drink out to you. Decor is modern and rustic. Very nice casual place for coffee, beer, and bites! read more

Unique place with two floors and pretty good beer and food. The only downfall is the place doesn't have a sit down bar. They have one but don't use it so lonely patrons are stuck taking up and entire table for no reason at all. read more

My friends love coming to Caboose Commons to get work done. One of them is a big coffee snob, so he recommended that I tried their cold brew because it's his favorite in the area. I stopped by with them a couple days ago and was surprised that a tap room could be this cozy and warm. There's a lot of space on the second floor that's more like a cafe/study area. A lot of people here were getting work done while sipping on a beverage or munching on a side of fries. The ordering system is pretty easy -- scan the QR code on each table, place an order, and someone will bring it up when it's ready. Since my friend was adamant about the cold brew, I got the cold brew with light ice. The cold brew here is strong (like really, really strong) with a good chocolate flavor but also pretty tart/citrusy. I would not recommend light ice. Definitely get the regular ice and let the ice dilute a bit. Overall, pretty solid. I was shocked at the strength of the cold brew here. Good space to get work done. It's a bit far from me, but if I'm in the area, I know Caboose Commons is a reliable location. They get their beans from Lone Oak Coffee Company out in Winchester. I'll have to try their other coffee drinks and grab a bag of beans in the future. Oh, I'm sure their alcoholic drinks and food here would be pretty solid, too! read more

This is such a great spot for happy hour! There's such a huge selection of beers, and the one guy let me sample some pale ales before I ordered. He was so knowledgeable and patient. I was trying to find a beer that I had a while ago that tasted like black tea with a hint of sweetness! They also have seasonal drinks and the menu switches up. I also order their half nachos. It's so good and they do not skimp on their toppings. It's good and enough for one person!! It's a great time here :) Tip: there's additional parking on the left side closer to the light if you don't want to park at moms garage and walk over :) read more

I had lunch at 3pm and I didn't want a full adult meal, so I literally went onto the kids' menu and looked for the greatest quantity of protein, so I chose the chicken tenders with a side salad. The chicken tenders were everything I expected and more (they come with Heinz ketchup) -- crispy and flavorful. But the SIDE SALAD. It was perfection. I don't know what was in the dressing but it tasted almost yogurt-y and it was so refreshing and light. The latte was creamy and had a light natural sweetness even though I didn't get it with any sweetener. The interior is super spacious and very industrial feeling and would be the perfect place to get some work done. There is free WiFi and a parking lot in the back, and you order on a QR code and they deliver all of the food right to your table. read more

A friend recommended Caboose so we came to check it out. We ordered some food and drinks. We missed brunch by a few minutes, but no big deal. When we came in, the dining area was still decorated for Christmas in some areas. Seems fine as Christmas was just 2 days ago. We placed our orders through the QR code on the table. The food and drinks came out super quick. The fries and pickles were delicious - I didn't eat the pickles, but my daughter said they were delicious. The Buffalo chicken wrap was good and a bit hotter than I thought it would be. I thought there would be a side of ranch to dip it with, but I must have read the menu wrong when I chose ranch instead of blue cheese. No worries, I still ate it. My daughter got the chicken parm sandwich, but she said she didn't like it and it made her stomach upset. She said it wasn't flavorful and the sauce could have been more to bring out the flavor, but it was barely on there. Some may have eaten a quarter of the sandwich and most of the fries and pickles. Overall, we had a great time hanging out with friends and family. The atmosphere was great and we were able to catch a college bowl game. read more

Located on the western edge of mosaic , Caboose is a great place to chill out and visit with friends. It's a brewery that offers flights so you can check out a number of their offerings. The beer is good but the best part of caboose is the amazing outdoor and indoor seating area. If you're meeting up after work this place is perfect. You order with your phone off a barcode at the table so no need to figure out how to split the check cause everyone orders their own! read more

If you know the food at Caboose Tavern in Vienna, know that the food here is not the same. It's good but not as good. The pretzels are not the same a don't come with cheese sauce. Chicken tenders are good but do not have the same in house quality as the other location. Otherwise, it's a good spot with lots of space and a nice outdoor area for warm days. It can easily accommodate large groups and ordering is easy and fast with the QR code. Staff was friendly but sparse with a lot of self service items easily available. read more

Food was good, you can order from the table which is really convenient. I don't really like the atmosphere / decor, but it's laid back and a good place to chat. A little noisy because of the acoustics. read more

Caboose Commons is my third space. As someone who works from home, it is my favorite spot to grab some coffee and get some work done. Their Wi-Fi is super fast, their are outlets at almost every table, and the industrial beer warehouse aesthetic makes a Killer Zoom background. There is something about the quiet buzz of the place that makes me super productive. In fact, I am currently writing this review from Caboose right now. It is a fabulous meeting spot - - if you are meeting with a large group of people there is plenty of room to spread out and the QR code ordering and splitting tabs really easy. They truly have something for everyone: beer, wine, cocktails, vegan, gluten-free, burgers, and barbeque. I have tried almost everything on the menu and it is ALL fabulous (even the poke bowl which honestly is questionable to eat at a brewery but they kill it every single time). Their croissants and muffins are also phenomenal. They also: - Support local charities (their Pride month drink is great and proceeds go to a LGBTQ+ organization) - Are woman-owned - Pay a living wage: I've literally seen some of their workers grow up over the years, which means they must be doing something right. - Are woman-owned - Do fun community oriented events like maker's markets, drag bingo, and more I am truly, truly a fan and thankful to have a place like this in my neighborhood. I will support forever! read more

I grabbed a pumpkin spice latte to go. The cashier was friendly and patient as I figured out which latte I wanted. They also had a cookie butter latte. All syrups are made in house. It's a LARGE shop with plenty of people working on laptops. The only downside was my latte wasn't very hot at all. read more

Caboose is always a classic for HH. They have discounts on beer and cocktails. The nachos are delicious. I've gone here multiple times after work. I got a pumpkin chai for the seasonal change and it was delicious. I'm interested in the latte. The deals are great and the service is quick. There's so many options for the beers and their sours are good (the berry gose one!). The outdoor seating is nice and the weather was perfect for it. Great for big groups. read more

Love the ordering system here with QR codes at each table and the option to open and close your tab from your phone! Food options are typical bar food but also some bakery items, and tons of beers available which they switch out seasonally. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating but parking is limited so be prepared to park across the street potentially and walk over. Dave was so nice to our group, even gave us stickers!! Will absolutely come back. read more

Dropped in for a quick bite to eat and some coffee after a long drive, had an oatmeal latte and bavarian pretzel served with cheese sauce. I was surprised by both, the pretzel was buttery and delicious with an excellent seedy mustard. I didn't get a chance to try any beer but would come back just to get the exact same meal. The staff was very friendly and offered suggestions, our food was prepared very quickly. The restaurant has plenty of space and has a second floor I didn't get to check out. Overall an excellent place to get a snack I will definitely be returning to check out their brews! read more

Visited twice now in a week, the second time with our 7 year old. She loves the ambience inside and outside and looks forward to sitting outside in better weather. Nachos were a hit with the family, so was the shrimp taco. Mango margarita was a much needed summer cooler while the Good as Hefe and Das Gute German Pils went down well with the guy. read more

I came here last month to have dinner with a friend and I loved everything we had! I ordered the Pride alcoholic beverage and we also had wings with the TBLT and fries. It was definitely hot out but we had a good amount of shade. The bathrooms were super clean and it was very cute inside with a big opening for you to also walk up to the second floor. Service was friendly and felt very casual. Parking can definitely get tight fast but Mosaic MOM's garage allows you to park for two hours on the upper level floors! read more

Super cute spot with YUMMY food and service in the Mosaic district. The parking lot may be full but there's parking across the street at the Market garage, which is a short walk.

Amazing place. Great food, great service, and really kid friendly. Special shout out to Jeremy, Shawn (Sean?) and Mike for assisting-not only did I lose my ID and they called me to let me know but also they really took special care for my daughters severe allergies and ensured I was aware what was in the food. top notch. I frequent a lot but really above and beyond. read more

On a quest to visit the 26 best coffee shops in Frfx/NoVA in 2026, and we started with this place. I wouldn't mind visiting this place every week! The friendly cashier helpfully provided recommendations when we asked. ... Enjoyed the spiced honey vanilla latte! My companion's latte was served way too hot, though. ...The Ramsay's eggs (scrambled eggs with roasted mushrooms on French bread with chives) was also excellent. Loads of yummy mushrooms.... We also took iced lattes for the road. Great coffee shop and excellent breakfast! We'll be back for sure. read more

Came here to do some work before my dog's vet appointment nearby. Their patio (and only their patio) is dog friendly -- they even leave out water bowls which is really sweet. The ordering process was a little confusing. I tried going inside to order but it seemed like they only really take orders from the QR code. I didn't like that we had to make a new account for the ordering website. I did like that the inside was super spacious -- it looked like it could've been a warehouse or a factory in the past. It has an upstairs and a downstairs, but I didn't have enough time to explore the upper floor. However, the food really made up for the process. We got the chicken tenders and fries. The fries were typical bar fries and were a little less than salted and on the softer side, but the chicken tenders... WOW! They tasted like their were truly homemade with Panko breadcrumbs and were pretty juicy on the inside (all white meat chicken breasts were used too!!) We paired the tenders and fries with some good ole ranch and ketchup. It was a filling lunch shared between my partner and me. The patio provided a nice ambiance with others sitting down to enjoy lunch and do work under the umbrellas on a nice sunny day. Parking was pretty packed but there is ample space. It's also near mosaic District if you wanna do some shopping over there too. If I go next time, I would try the affogato that I was eyeing on when I went. Minus the ordering process, I highly recommend! read more

Super chill place to get work done, there's always people working on their laptops, yarn projects, etc. It's a nice casual place to convene with friends. I like the lattes but they can be a lil pricey for the fancier ones. Otherwise service is great & i like their fried pickles :3 read more

Met up with my colleague to do some work together, and I was so excited to check it out. I have been hearing about this spot for YEARS from some of my best buds, so it's nice to make the trek out to Fairfax that I wouldn't normally make. Fairfax is kind of far from my way, and when the traffic hits, WHEW. So, parking was easy and I saw plenty of festive outdoor seating. It was a little hot for that, but the benches were plentiful and I saw a giant chess set for folks to play at. If I was a better chess player, I know I'd be all over it. The inside was just as spacious as the outside area! There were multiple floors, a counter with some yummy looking pastries on display, and plenty of tables to sit at. I found myself just looking around as I entered, and staff asked me if I needed any help. I learned that it's self-seating, and each table had a QR code to scan. PERFECTION! The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to with signs being posted in multiple places, water was available to grab, and there were outlets everywhere. I was starving, so I grabbed a Pink Dragon and an ahi tuna poke bowl. The drink had passion fruit puree, condensed milk, and some other flavors going on. It was quite the outstanding combination of flavors, but it was so refreshing! The poke bowl was wonderful as well -- $20 is one of the more expensive poke bowls I've purchased, but really, it was good. Caboose is so many things in one -- a cafe, a brewery, a summer hangout spot... This is definitely NoVA's version of Zinnia. Whenever I'm in the area I would love to return. Anyone else should too. read more
