The cafe is nice we had the chocolate beignets and they were okay not really beignets more so a donut with chocolate filling. We had an espresso and it was good. Service was quick I had a toasted marshmallow hot chocolate nothing really "toasted marshmallow" about the drink in my opinion. read more

The client is very friendly there. I had the best conversations the breakfast potatoes were super savory and had just the right element of seasoning. The dill cream cheese at the base of the avocado toast with the seeded bread was elevated this dish. And the dirty chai is a must. Also, I don't know what dressing was on that salad, but I want some more . read more

Cute, quaint spot. The customer service was great. What we initially came in to try wasn't available but I was not disappointed with my visit. The food was absolutely delicious. My sister who dislikes ham thoroughly enjoyed her quiche Lorraine. I enjoyed the croque madame. I do wish the side salads had dressing. The caramel macchiatos were some of the best coffee I've had in a long time. The crepe was perfect balance of tart and sweet. read more

I love coming here to work or just enjoy a yummy lunch. Their menu is pretty big & I have never ordered anything I didn't like. The coffee is good and strong, their crepes & pastries are really good-- they keep me coming back! The service can be hit or miss & the overall vibe of the cafe is typically pretty quiet. They have plenty of seating & free wifi! read more

Cafe Du Soleil - mixed berry crepe w latte ! -- 8/10 really good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Cozy & quiet spot to converse or work. Unfortunately our lattes were extremely hot steamed milk with no froth at all and overheated to the point of dangerous to drink even after getting them remade. The staff was accommodating & welcomed our feedback. If I return I'd just grab a tea or iced beverage. read more

First, the map is deceiving, this is a long walk from the metro station but well worth the hike. (There are buses that one can hop on all up and down King Street for free, that I later found out after I got here). This place is on a side street. It is a little dark in the place but it's got cozy lighting like an old speakeasy soft glow style. (Which may be more difficult for me if I was with another person because of lip reading, but because it was just me that day it was fine). There are tables and bar counters to eat at. The person working the counter was very helpful and I asked for suggestions of snack. I had a cold brew and a blueberry multigrain muffin. It was solid and hit the spot! Definitely wish the coffee came in a larger size. Would come back here for a meal when I have more time. read more

Walking into Cafe Du Soleil felt like stepping into a little pocket of warmth and charm. The staff greeted us with genuine smiles, making us feel right at home. Their service was attentive yet relaxed--exactly what you want in a café where you can linger and enjoy the moment. The ambiance was just as inviting, with rustic wooden tables, soft lighting, and the perfect level of background chatter. It's the kind of place that makes you want to settle in with a good book or share a meal with someone special. Now, let's talk about the food--because wow. I ordered the Florentine Quiche, and let's just say there's no picture of my dish because I devoured it before I even thought about taking one! The crust was flaky perfection, and the filling was a rich, creamy blend of eggs, spinach, and cheese that melted in my mouth. Paired with a beautifully spiced Chai Latte, it was the kind of meal that just made my whole morning better. My partner went for the Chicken Sandwich and gave it two thumbs up. The chicken was tender and flavorful, but the real star was the remoulade sauce--a tangy, creamy delight that brought everything together. All in all, Cafe Du Soleil is a gem. Great food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back (and maybe this time, I'll snap a photo before inhaling my food... maybe). read more

Cafe Du Soleil - Chicken Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I recently stayed at the Hotel Indigo across the street and found Cafe Du Soleil to be a delightful place to grab coffee and breakfast each morning. They have a good selection of different espresso drinks, flavors, and also great milk alternatives. I had a slice of quiche for breakfast one day and a breakfast pastry another. The quiche serving was a bit large for one person (nearly a 1/4 of a pie tray) and came with a small salad, but was delicious. The piece of pumpkin loaf I ordered was dry. I saw sweet and savory crepes come out of the kitchen and they looked so yummy... I'll definitely get one of those next time I'm in town. read more

Unassuming french cafe tucked away in a small building off of Old Town Alexandria. The space is pretty neat/stylish, and really makes you feel as if you are at a small cafe in France, though it is a little darker than I would prefer Pretty comprehensive menu of drinks, hot food, & pastries. I came here for breakfast with my GF and we each got vanilla lattes, I got a crepe, she got a coffee cake pastry, and we split a BEC. Everything was delicious Counter service, and all of our food and drinks were prepared extremely quickly read more

If you want a real crepe from a French chef, this is the place to go. They have sweet, savory, and different salads and breakfast foods if you don't fancy crepes. The service was great. You order at the cashier and then the servers bring the food to your table. I definitely recommend a plain iced latte. It was delicious. They also offer wine to take home and I will definitely do that next time. read more

My family and I went here twice on our trip to DC. On the first day, we each got Iced Matchas with lavender. They tasted really good! We also ordered 2 nutella crepes but the crepe tasted eggy. My grandma ordered a vegetable crepe since she's a muslim vegetarian. Unfortunately she found a piece of meat in her crepe! She had already ate half of it so who knows if there was more. We came back the next day to have the tasty matchas again. But they looked and tasted different than when we had them yesterday. It was pretty much just milk with a hint of matcha. Both times the service was pretty fast. The people were nice and gave us a refund after the first incident. It's also cute inside. Unfortunately I will not be returning. read more

A delicious breakfast and coffee spot in the heart of Old Town! Though a little pricey, their crepes, quiche, cappuccinos, and amazing service will make your visit well worth it. I've never felt like more of a "city girl" than sipping a hot Americano from a REAL mug in the window of old town, before getting it to-go along with the best smelling breakfast and heading down those historic cobble stone streets. This is the new go to spot for me and mine! read more

I really enjoyed this place! The ambiance is so calming and inviting. There are plenty of tables to space out and have either a quiet reading moment or meal alone or sit and gab with your friends. My table ordered scrambled eggs with toast and turkey sausage and a smoked salmon crepe. Everything was warm and yummy. The meals weren't groundbreaking but they were tasty and enjoyable enough to come back! They have a smoothie and coffee menu and the baked goods were yummy and served warmed. Overall, a nice spot! read more

not helpful during blizzard situation- slow - poor service. I forgot my discount and remembered - so I asked to cancel my charge -which they did reluctantly, then said I d like to order again with my discount - nothing had been made , 1 other guest was there- they charged me for reorder with discount BUT then the counter person called the boss- and I'd have to talk to him! what - I walked out - just not helpful - just not service driven - I did make an error - found a solution - paid for it and then "the big boss was coming" for what ? to school me. ? I hate places like that - plus they where talking about me in Spanish - which I understood - it was like a seinfeld episode - just disappointed and it was DEAD one person other than my self. No food had been made - just not wanting to do biz during one of the worst blizzards on the east coast - No thanks read more

The food was great. The service was fast, I love that you can order first and then seat yourself. I ordered a savory crepe, but the quiche was to die for! Overall, it was a little pricy for the portions but everything was fast and very fresh. Found this spot because it catered to all my friends cravings while on vacation! read more

Café du Soleil was a perfect post-run stop, even for takeout. I grabbed my order to go after a long run, and the crepes were amazing--savory, flavorful, and hit the spot. The staff was kind and welcoming, even with just a quick visit. I really liked the interior setup--cozy and inviting, the kind of place you'd want to sit and stay a while. I'd definitely go back, hopefully for a dine-in experience next time. read more

Been here a few times and it's always been good food with great coffee. The service was prompt and friendly. The location is a bit out of the way and parking can be a challenge. Would recommend parking farther away to walk here. I've gotten: Quinoa chicken salad-really good and love the dressing especially! Super fresh ingredients Tuna salad sandwich-also amazing! And loved the bread Coffee-great options Amazing all around!!! read more

Highly recommened. The cafe is intimate and easily accessed from the main road. Paid parking available on street or garage. It is the perfect atmosphere for a meet up or to study. Wifi accessible for customers. The layout of the cafe could get a little cramped when it is busy when the line starts to form at the register. Food and drink items are ordered at the register first then the food is brought to you. Seating can be limited but you do have a choice of siting on a couch, bar stool or at a small table. First come, first serve type deal. The chai tea latte and quiche was very tasty and filling. Would definitely return. . read more

So yummy! A great cafe to check out. I wouldn't go to Alexandria just to eat here, but if you're in the area I definitely recommend checking this spot out. I ordered a croque monsieur, Nutella & banana crepe, and matcha latte. The food was yummy and the drink was great too! There was even a mixup with my drink where (I think) someone else grabbed mine, but the baristas were very kind in remaking mine and making sure it was right. I think asking for names or calling out order numbers with the drinks would help prevent this in the future, but it didn't really detract from my experience. The decor is really cozy and the overall vibe is casual. This is a great spot in Alexandria to meet up with friends to chat, study, or good old-fashioned people watch. read more

I visited this Cafe Du Soleil this week for the first time. I walked in and viewed the menu on the wall. The person behind the counter never greeted me, she just looked at me. She stood by the counter waiting for me to order so I informed her it was my first time visiting so I was looking at the menu , not sure what to get yet..... I asked about what type lettuce used for the salads and she told me prepackaged.... She waited a few minutes and takes the tip jar that I never noticed on the counter and moves it to another area away from the counter .... It's hard to go into detail about this but with that move ..... I walked down to South Block read more

Very nice, courteous staff. Enjoyed the crepes and highly recommend London fog tea creation.

Was very crowded which was to be expected for a Sunday morning. Line cleared out quickly, food arrived and looked great. I enjoyed my coffee and may try more next visit. Believe they may move to a bigger space with outside seating in the future which would be lovely. Would gladly come back here again. read more

My favorite brunch/lunch spot in old town! The Chicken and Swiss sandwich is perfect and they make an amazing London Fog. Service is quick and the staff are all friendly. During the week, it's a great place to grab a bite and get some work done. The vibes are chill and it's not overly loud or anything. The weekends are packed during the brunch rush (it's everyone else's favorite brunch spot too!) especially on sunny days, so it's mostly my weekday hang unless im desperate. read more

Cafe Du Soleil - Great vibe -- BIG menu! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Location off main area in Old Town, Alexandria, near Hotel Indigo. Great looking entrance, inside decor is well done and invites you to sit down to soak in the ambiance. Lots of seating (more than expected) despite being packed, we found seating at counter top and then a table opened up. Friendly Staff, ordering is easy & quick. Prices are in-line with area, which is on higher end for a Cafe. We ordered Coffee which was hot & delicious. My only complaint was I like to drink mine to the last Fogers drop, and I did, and it was all grounds. Not what I expected, ruined it for me as it took me awhile to get all of it out of my mouth. My wife loved the bread she got, I had a taste and agree with her, quite good. I was very pleasantly surprised with my smoked salmon on a plain bagel. Plain bagel was all they had available, I usually do an Everything, but to be honest the plain bagel was done just right. Paired with the Salmon, cream cheese, onions & capers it was one of the best that I have had in awhile. I may ask for extra cream cheese, as I thought it was a little light. The smoked salmon was perfect. I will go back just for that. Overall a nice spot to take a break while visiting Old Town. read more

The crepe was good (though very expensive, and prices aren't listed on the menu), however we ordered one latte and got charged for two. We only noticed later at home on the receipt. This place is extremely expensive and we left a $5 tip, so the extra latte charge is very unfortunate. read more
