What's not to love about this place! It's wicked! Lol...The decor put British culture on full display, it was simply cute. Be warned, you'd fall in love the minute you step through the door. Service: quick and the staff was very friendly! Seating: lots of seating inside and few cute seating outside. Parking: no street parking available but there is a small shopping center next to the restaurant and patrons were able to park there. Price range: Breakfast entrees for under $20-a steal! And the portions were quite generous. Ambiance: they have a full cafe which offers various lattes, espresso, and teas. Also, there is a bar towards the back of the restaurant. We visited during the morning so the bar was not opened but I would love to come back and try their specialty cocktails. Drinks: my boyfriend ordered the toasted coconut iced latte and I had the iced latte with coconut milk. The drinks were refreshing and a sure caffeinated pick me up lol Food: To share we ordered the fruity pebbles pancakes with a side of bacon and the egg & vegetables scramble. Fruity pebbles pancakes: these were a pancake lover's dream. Crispy around the edges and buttery soft on the inside. The fruity pebbles were a cute compliment but it did not make the pancakes overly sweet. It was balanced just right. Egg & vegetables scramble was sooooooooooo delicious. A very refreshing dish paired with a side of amazing sliced potatoes and toast. We did not have the toast since we were eating pancakes but I did nibble on a few of the potatoes and they were perfect. The scrambled eggs contained an abundance of fresh tomatoes and spinach, all sautéed together. Overall, this was an amazing dining experience and one that I'm glad to have found. Definitely worth the trip again.
I visited Cafe Kindred for breakfast and caffeine. I was excited to see that they have scratch-made Corned Beef Hash on the menu - so I ordered that, and a cold brew with Half n' Half. Got the cold brew right away. Went and found a table and waited for my food. The inside of the place is super cool Love the ambiance! The food came out in about 10 minutes or so. The Corned Beef Hash comes with two eggs and toast. I dug in - I was somewhat disappointed. The corned beef was very tender - but the potatoes and the dish overall needed seasoning - and salt. I added some salt and black pepper to try and amp up the flavor profile. The potatoes in the dish needed to be crispier as well. The eggs were cooked nicely - a bit of yolk to mix into the rest of the dish. The cold brew was tasty. There are a number of other interesting breakfast items on their menu - so I need to return next time I am in the area to sample some of the other menu items. Service was good. Paid with Apple Pay. #CafeKindred
Went to Kindred recently and it was an okay experience. It's a comfy cozy vibe and the warm atmosphere is good for brunch time. Would give it a 3.5/5 if I could, but I'll give them a little bump up because the service and overall experience was pleasant. The food there overall is okay. I enjoyed the Reuben - it was a juicy burger and paired well with the thousand island island dressing. It was a bit greasy but worth the slight mess. Fries were standard. The French toast isn't worth ordering since it's standard bread without any filling or toppings aside from a small dusting of powdered sugar. The cafe and drinks themselves are very cute! If you're eating in you get a small cookie and a little cup of sparkling water with your coffee. I ordered the raspberry mocha, which was delicious and tasted like a dark chocolate-covered raspberry and had the perfect level of sweetness. The vanilla latte is not too special but still delicious. However, skip the affogato-wich. It's just half of an ice cream sandwich in a glass with espresso and left me disappointed. The service was great with really friendly staff that looked like they were having a good time. They helped keep the vibes easygoing and relaxed! I haven't tried their cocktails and bar, so can't say anything on that.
Cozy place to go with a friend or family for a weekend brunch! Lots of options for whether you need a bigger meal or want to go with something lighter, and plenty of things both adults and kids can get into. Order at the counter and the friendly staff bring our your items.
Cafe Kindred is a delightful, British inspired gem that perfectly blends a fun atmosphere with friendly and efficient service. I absolutely loved the fruity pebble pancakes, and the vegetable scramble was equally delicious. We also enjoyed a couple of iced lattes that complemented our meal perfectly. The café's layout is charming, with the front half dedicated to breakfast and a cool, fully stocked bar in the back. It's a community oriented spot where regulars visit multiple times a week, and they host live music once a month, adding to the vibrant vibe. Plus, with free parking available, it's an easy choice for a great breakfast experience.
Delicious croissants and brunch served all day! I've been here a handful of times over the past few years and enjoy coming for brunch especially on the weekdays. The classic Croissant Egg and Cheese sandwich is delicious! The croissant is flaky and the simple sandwich is well made. My hubby loves the buttery flaky croissant bacon and cheese sandwich. Home Fries are crispy and delicious, and a perfect side to pair with the Croissant Egg and Cheese sandwich! Hubby enjoyed the Biscuits and Gravy especially the gravy. The Eggs and Vegetable Scramble with buttered Toast was okay, I'm not a big fan of the eggs. It's a bummer than the restaurant stopped serving the Veggie Sandwich with eggplant, goat cheese, spinach, and tomato spread on multi-grain bread. It was bursting with flavor and the ingredients blended well together. The decadent pastries are fun to try, the chocolate croissant and apple cinnamon roll are scrumptious! The mimosas with fresh OJ are pretty tasty and well worth the $5. I wasn't a big fan of the apple sangria. My hubby enjoys the cappuccinos topped with a cute heart and a cool design! It gets packed on the weekends, so be prepared to wait and scour for a table like a hawk. The service can be slow and may forget parts of your order. Week days are the best time to come and enjoy coming back!
Super cool, small, hip place with a funky Brit vibe inside. Busy on the weekends, the friendly staff we place our order at the counter first, abd then grab a table when they opened up. We got a high top with cozy chairs flanked by guitars on the walls. I had a chai latte, just a touch sweet, aromatic, in a nice mug. The avocado toast is great. Not too filling. If you are a fan of poached eggs, these are about perfect. Actually, I didn't ask, but I believe they are coddled. Soft but not runny. Magic. Other half had the corned beef hash. Legit corned beef! And reported a very flavorful tomato soup. Place sits on the ground floor of a high rise with garage parking underneath
Such a great spot! We stopped in for breakfast on a snowy day a few weeks ago. I've heard they're normally packed but we lucked out going on a snow day. The lattes were excellent (and they pair it with a cookie! And palate cleanser.) I had avocado toast, by boyfriend had one of the egg dishes with ham and potatoes. Both were great. We will absolutely be back.
We stopped in on our way out of town! Had no idea what to expect but just wanted a good coffee and some breakfast. I wish we weren't in a hurry because I certainly could have stayed longer! Definitely would recommend.
Nice place! Inside has a chill homey vibe--seems good for doing work, catching up with friends, or grabbing a quick drink. The area is spacious and has various seating options. I ordered a kid's grilled cheese which I thought was tasty and a good deal. I also got an iced chai which was better than the average chai. Good spot overall!

Decided to stop here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. You order at the counter and they bring your order to your table. If you order coffee they give it to you to fix however you like at the counter, sort of next to where you order. The food was fantastic and I'm really glad we picked this restaurant to get breakfast! read more

Deirdre, we're so happy you stopped by for breakfast in Falls Church!…
Kindred Cafe demonstrates exactly how simple breakfast items should be prepared. I stopped in for a mid-morning weekday breakfast and ordered the veggie egg scramble with toast and potatoes, alongside an oat milk vanilla latte. While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time. It's a great addition to the local lineup. read more

I have been to Café kindred many times. I like the vibe of the place and enjoy the decorations/interior. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Orders are placed at the counter where they give you a number and they bring your food and drinks to the table for you, they also have takeout. I have tried the breakfast sandwiches in the past and they were solid. During this visit, I asked the employee at the counter what her favorite items were and chose one of those, being the chili tot poutine. I also ordered a cappuccino with vanilla. The espresso drinks are always solid here, they are served with a sidecar (sparkling water) and a shortbread cookie. The chili tot poutine was disappointing, the chili and tots were barely lukewarm, just a scattering of some shredded cheese that was barely noticeable, not much flavor, I wouldn't order it again. The shortbread cookies are absolutely delicious! I always purchase a bag of them every time I visit. This trip, I also purchased a snickerdoodle cookie and a mini lemon poppyseed loaf. I was excited to try both of these items as they are a couple of my favorite baked treats, however both were disappointing. The snickerdoodle lacked the signature cinnamon flavor, and I honestly had to check my receipt to verify that the mini loaf was lemon poppyseed because you can't taste the lemon at all. read more

Love the ambience here! Cafe in the front, bar in the back. They have a full brunch cocktail list, and weekends are laptop free! Baristas and staff were very nice, and my cold brew and breakfast sandwich came out pretty quick. The sandwich was pretty good but I can't say it stood out. The presentation though matched the aesthetic which I found to be pretty charming. If you're into hip local cafes then I'd say it's worth your time. read more
The place is really adorable and cozy inside but the food is not great. Orders the chilli poutine and a cold brew. The cold brew was just some home brew coffee in a jug they poured out. It was fine. The chili poutine came out really quick and was a tiny size. It really lacked any flavor even with the addition of copious amounts of ketchup. Overall disappointed by the food but if I were in the area, would stop by for another coffee. read more

We stopped by this place and so glad we did. This has been our favorite spot so far on our trip! Delicious food that's well priced, very kind staff & such fun decor. Also, amber was so sweet and knowledgable please treat her well!!! 10/10 will definitely be back next year! read more
During one of my transitional phases (relocating, not *that* sort of transitioning), I had been coming here every once in a while when Cafe Kindred was still relatively new and owners Gary and Jen were still doing almost all of the work! I'm rarely in the area now, only to visit family. I've noticed how busy it's become when driving by, but haven't stopped in for years until today. Unfortunately Gary wasn't in; I miss my chats with him, but it still felt nostalgic and very much like I remember it. Their current staff is great, and manager Amber is awesome! Great neighborhood spot. And big "lol" to all the butt-hurt naysayers who think they're the main character. Welcome to NoVa. read more

The salted caramel latte I got was super good however the quantity was not that much for the price of 6.00! The service was okay! Could have been faster! the cashier was friendly! It's a cute little cafe that you come and study at with plenty of studying spaces. The only thing is the parking really sucks in the garage next to this place. It is almost impossible to find a spot since more than half are reserved. read more

Food 3/5 Coffee 4.5/5 Service 4.5/5 Eggs Benedict 3/5: do not reco this dish and did not look like prev pictures. They also use sous vide egg on top of ham and bread with a side of potato Corn beef hash 2.5/5: not normal corn beef hash, tasted crispy and bacon like and the potatoes were super oily Turkey bacon sandwich 2/5: nothing special about this sandwich English breakfast 4/5: enjoyable and we swapped the beans with the gravy Grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. 4.5/5: probably the best thing here and the grilled cheese worked really well with the soup! Amazing service, our server also asked us if we wanted separate checks but we had a large group so orders got a little confusing for them but they tried! read more

A couple of years ago, I visited this restaurant and they had the most amazing vegan roasted cauliflower soup. I've been back a few times since but the soup wasn't offered. Is there a day when they have this soup?
