It's always wonderful here. Been going here since they opened probably a decade ago. Service is always fast and courteous and it's one of those third spaces where you can still chill and hang out without feeling pressured to leave. I really lope their signature honey latte. It's definitely different but delicious. My only gripe is that the lights are positioned blocking the menu. Even if you are sitting down you have to crouch down to see the menu read more

Stopped by before heading back home as this spot has been bookmarked and it was a few doors down from where we just had lunch. Decided on an iced lavender matcha, which was one of the specials advertised right when you walked in. The lavender flavor was decent, but I could barely taste the matcha. If I come back, I'd try something other than a matcha. Service was friendly and quick. Good amount of seating available inside (a few tables outside) read more

Stopped by this location for coffee and had a solid experience. The cold brew had a nice nutty flavor with a slight tanginess that kept it refreshing without being overly acidic. The cappuccino was smooth, well balanced, and a great classic cup. Compared to the Centreville location, I still think the coffee there has a slight edge, but this Chantilly location comes pretty close in flavor. It also has plenty of seating, making it a comfortable place to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. read more

I had to come back and update my review from 2017. It looks like since my last visit, they expanded/moved/renovated, any one or all of the three. I came back here and tried a couple of their drinks. I let my friend order the drinks one of those times and surprise me. It was a pumpkin spice latte with cold foam, and oh my goodness, it was SO GOOD!! I did come back to try other drinks, but couldn't find any "fancy" or seasonal drinks. The baristas are very friendly and useful. Would I return? absolutely to try other drinks. read more

To start off I got the pumpkin cinnamon latte with almond milk of course. Make that ice please! The cafe is very very busy and has lots of foot traffic. Considering that the shopping plaza is always full it is great that there's still many people coming in and out. The cafe itself is not that big but it is a reasonable size. I really like the Aesthetics of the place. As for the flavor of the pumpkin cinnamon latte it was very good although I feel I am pumped out for the season. I started my pumpkin Journey towards the end of August and frankly I'm quite tired of it! There are a lot of kids that work there and to be honest it doesn't seem like they care much about customer service none of them said hi Thank you you're welcome manners was very hard to see there. My particular coffee had pictures of cinnamon on the top and cinnamon inside I got none so I had to add my own. Aside from the lack of service I still want to come back and try other things the desserts look delightful I just wasn't ready for any. Looks like I'll have to come back and hopefully next time I'll get better customer service! For the drink I would have to say it was definitely a 10 out of 10 I did think that they made their own whipped cream in house, however it just came out of a red aerosol can. read more

Been a while since I came here and it's still pretty good ! I got their butterscotch coffee with oat milk which was reallyyyyy gooood! They make their oat milk in house! It added a such a nice rich flavor to the butterscotch. My husband got the cream coffee wasn't great, I tried a sip I wouldn't get it again. Just a simple cold brew coffee with a cold foam on top. I didn't order food this time, but I've had their food and I really like it. It's a casual spot with some seating. read more

Cafein is a busy cafe regardless of the time of the day you visit. I hate waiting for drinks when I just want caffeine on the go especially at a busy cafe like this. So I usually prefer ordering ahead of my arrival. Well, this cafe requires you to download their standalone app for such an occasion + make an account. I discovered this when I went onto their online website and just wish they allow web ordering in lieu of app download. My drinks were ready upon arrival but the pickup process was frustrating. I went to where people pick up their orders aka end of the counter. There was no cashier of sort at cash wrap. Stood there like an idiot with two baristas gawking at me fully aware I have been waiting for good 5 minutes. I finally spoke up after waiting and one of them told me "oh your order has been ready awhile ago but you just need to get it from the shelf near the cash register" WOWEE thanks for the letting me know after all this time! God knows how much longer I would have had to just stand there had I not spoken up! There was really no clear signage that I could see upon entering the cafe that there's a shelf full of to-go orders you pluck out. It was good to know for the next time but it was just UGH when you have jetlag and in a rush. I tried out 3 different drinks over the 5-days stay I had in the region and only liked one of them -- the iced London Fog Latte. It has a nice lavender tinged tea flavor that's slightly on the too sweet side of the spectrum. Too bad there's no option of adjusting the sweetness like picking 75% sweet when ordering online. The matcha latte looks pretty but it's chalky, weak, and too sweet. It almost tastes like I'm drinking straight up milk with green coloring to it. I don't recommend. Same with butterscotch latte. The name sounds enticing but it didn't taste much differently than a standard latte. So disappointing. All in all, I still prefer ordering my caffeine from a local small business like this but if I'm in SoCal, this would be a 2-star place with no chance of revisiting. Just with the unfriendly and snooty customer service + having to download an app + mediocre $$ drink makes it a NO. read more

Such a cute cafe with cozy vibes. The space is welcoming, clean, and perfect for catching up with friends or getting a little work done. I ordered the rose latte and it was amazing. Lightly floral, not overpowering, and perfectly balanced with the espresso. It felt unique but still comforting. I also tried the Davant latte which was, smooth. Service was friendly and quick. It gets pretty packed so may need to wait for a table. They also have outdoor seating read more

Staff are nice. Menu is lazy , management cuts corners everywhere possible. Pre mixed tea latte powders and their buttered toast with jam is just grocery store toast with cafeteria containers of smuckers and hard individual packaged butter. Pretty shitty experience when you can't even butter the toast yourself bc it's too hard. read more

I have been here a handful of times and I don't think I've ever been blown away by anything that they have. It's a coffee shop with specialty coffee like everyone else. The baked goods are pretty good but I don't think to go there vs the other options in the same area. Service is faster than Starbucks but not the same friendly service you should get from a local shop. It's a clean set up and set up for sitting or working with a laptop read more

My husband and I went here on a whim on a Monday AM and were surprised to find it packed. Parking was easy due to its location in a strip mall. I was looking for a legit cappuccino and Cafein delivered! They had both cappuccino and "traditional cappuccino" (the difference being size aka volume of milk) and i could actually taste the coffee in my traditional cappuccino! My husband enjoyed his iced matcha latte, though we both agreed it tasted a little too sweet. Pastry selection was very sparse at 10:30. Our only complaint was that we didn't get reception and the WiFi wasn't working (though I appreciated that the password was on the table!). I don't think I'll make a point to return (it didn't have particularly cozy vibes), but if I were in the area I'd choose Cafein due to the quality. read more

Came for a quick breakfast and was really surprised by their food. The ham and cheese croissant was pretty standard but their breakfast sandwich was really good! It had avocado, red onions and a wasabi mayo that went really well with the sausage and egg! Their coffee was pretty good as well - typical flavored lattes that you can find at most places. Solid cafe with more food options than most! Entrees: Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and Ham and Cheese Croissant Drinks: Rose and Vanilla Latte read more

One of my favorite coffee shops! Love the atmosphere at CAFEIN. The coffee's great and the employees are super friendly! Lots of seatings and they play great music. It's a nice place for hanging out with friends, reading, or getting your work done. Tried one of their specialties, the Honey Cinnamon Latte and it's so good! They served it in a mug, which is always a plus and extra cozy! Can't wait for my next visit! read more

I finally got to try Cafein and it was even better than I expected. I had the honey cinnamon latte, which is one of the best lattes I have ever had. The latte had so much flavor. I also had the sausage egg and cheese on brioche. The sandwich was delicious and hot. We weren't able to eat our food at the location since all the tables were occupied. If you are going, I'd recommend going earlier, we went at about 11:30 on a Saturday. read more

I've been coming here for years, and this used to be my favorite coffee shop in the area. I've brought countless friends here because the cappuccino was consistently one of the best in the DMV. Lately, though, something has changed. The coffee just doesn't have the same flavor or quality it used to. Even the 8 oz cappuccino tastes much more like steamed milk than espresso, and the rich, bold flavor that made me love this place seems to be missing. I'm not sure if it's the beans, the roasting, or the way the drinks are being prepared now, but I genuinely hope the owners take a fresh look at it. This used to be one of the best coffee shops in the entire DMV. Unfortunately, based on my recent visits, I don't think it would even make my top 10 anymore. I'm writing this because I want to see this place return to what made it special. I'd love nothing more than to become a regular again. read more

On a long trip the first thing you have to do is start the journey right with food and Cafein. Super nice space with ample seating. I ordered the veggie breakfast sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. Cooked to order indeed and well worth the $8 price tag...I combined that selection with a cortado with just a hint of simple syrup (best to choices to start the day). You can immediately tell the place is indeed a fan favorite, the staff is super attentive and friendly. WiFi codes are on the table for usage if you need it...I'd stay away from the front in the winter months because it may be a little chilly in the front with the guest entering and leaving. Overall a solid find indeed and worth a 20 25 min drive by far. read more

I saw a TikTok that said, "chef's kiss isn't good enough, I need to go back and make love to the chef." Yeah... this place is that for me. The creamy tomato soup is perfectly balanced; the right amount of sweetness, tanginess, and just a little kick. The thickness is spot-on, with small minced pieces that give it great texture without being chunky. The grilled cheese somehow has so much flavor for something so simple. Crispy, comforting, and done exactly right. The rose latte was a standout: not overpowering, not overly sweet, and you can still smell the rose subtle and elegant. The veggie on a wheat bagel tasted incredibly fresh and clean, like every ingredient actually mattered. Service was amazing, quick and clean. The space itself is simple, clean, and calm, the kind of place where you can actually get work done and lose track of time. I'm still thinking about this café, and honestly, it's probably the best one we've been to so far. read more

I came here kind of close to closing time. I got the butterscotch iced latte. Be sure to get some of the top layer of the butterscotch with every sip and I swear you'll think the world is a better place. It was delicious. I wasn't hungry so I didn't try anything else but definitely adding this to my list of coffee spots when I come back. read more

The service was very quick, attentive and they welcome you in immediately. The space is cozy and has a modern vibe to it with a decent amount of seating. The menu is straight forward, I had the butterscotch specialty drink, the ube cheesecake and the sausage on croissant. The cheesecake is thick and sweet, but not too sweet. The sausage on croissant had a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors, which made me demolish the croissant quickly. The butterscotch drink is sweet and perfect for those like me who go to cafes for drinks that don't taste like actual coffee. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I don't hype this place enough but I believe it to be one of the best cafes with the best coffee in the DMV area, in my opinion.

Desserts are all so delicious as well, if you ever see the earl grey flavor, definitely pick it up! read more

Love this spot, and so does half of the city, apparently! It's always packed inside and I've been on weekdays and weekends. To avoid the lines, I always order ahead via the app and my order is always ready upon arrival. My go-to is an iced vanilla latte with caramel; never tastes over roasted, always a nice even flavor. I haven't explored much food-wise, but did try the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich. It was good, but typical. Cafein will definitely remain in my coffee rotation. read more

I came here with a pretty big group and there was generous seating and fast/kind service. I got the smoked salmon/cream cheese/onions with everything bagel (LOX bagel) and thought it was pretty delicious :) I didn't really try any drinks, but heard that their davant coffee is tasty and popular and may try next time. While I was here the lights all briefly went out..but overall had a great experience. Like another reviewer mentioned the oat milk seems to be made in house and the food tasted fresh and yummy. read more

Delicious food, coffee and baked goods! The sandwich was well made, with fresh ingredients! I do think they forgot about it, as it took 30+ minutes and a reminder for us to get it- the main reason for 4 vs. 5 stars. The pistachio cake was amazing! The cream cheese frosting made it not too sweet. It was so rich so glad we got it to share-I'm not sure I would be able to eat it all myself. We got two coffees as well, the butterscotch latte was amazing! Rich, smooth, silky, buttery, and just the amount of sweet to balance out (and still definitely taste) the coffee flavor! It only comes in one size, which i was disappointed about at first, but ended up being happy about because of just how rich and thick it was! The service was good, the girl working the cash register was not especially friendly or accommodating of questions, and forgot to tell the back kitchen staff about the sandwich we ordered. However, when I approached the people bringing out the food about the sandwich we had ordered they were very kind and able to make it quickly and bring it out. read more

If you can't make tea, it shouldn't be on the menu. Handing my tea latte to me as I'm paying is obviously to quick, I should have walked out.

Pretty good spot for coffee if you are around Chantilly. I came after checking out the place next door (Kare Bar) so I thought to myself, why not pay this cafe a visit? It was also raining when I went and I didn't want to be soaked. It was a good idea that I decided to stop by. Inside there's many tables, there's chillhop playing and the ambiance is what you'd expect if you have been to many coffee shops.. people doing work on their laptops silently, students talking to other students about work/life, ect... and just many other patrons seeking their coffee fix. I wasn't here for too long but I got a Rose Latte and I got their butter cream cake. I believe their cakes rotate seasonally and I was hoping to get their rainbow cake ( why not, it looks cool ) but no luck this time. Their coffee is smooth, easy to drink despite the poor weather conditions that occurred for that visit. The cake was soft and was easy to break apart. I was a messy eater that day but I cleaned after myself. The cafe is worth visiting if you need a good place to get work or you need some comfort in your life. I would definitely visit this place again when the rainbow cake comes out again. read more
