About a 1-1.5: We were recommended to stop by Cervantes, as this is one of the popular picks for a caffeine fix. Located in a more industrial area of Springfield, you can find random eateries and cafes around. We ordered: +a latte with oat milk +and, a Mexican Mocha - prepeared with espresso and Mexican mocha mix, topped with whipped cream and chili flakes Both drinks were not piping hot and more lukewarm; the whipped cream was artificial, and the chili flakes seemed old and expired as it had an off-putting taste to it; both drinks had a weird aftertaste and as just not enjoyable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is set up nicely, with a few tables and large buckets of coffee beans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was easy, as there are plenty of spaces in the spot. +not-so-great coffee +parking available read more

I really enjoyed stopping by here, I do wish their website was a bit more updated, but it works my only complaint is it doesn't have descriptions of the latte's, so you have to look it up separately but it's no big deal. The service is excellent, they are nice, make drinks quickly! I will say [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm not sure how available their seating options are as I just ordered my lattes to go[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], I've also haven't tried their pastries. read more

I went here late Saturday morning with no expectations. What a lovely little place tucked away in a warehouse area. The outside is just the door and signs -- nothing to prepare you for the open coffee roasting operation feel and cozy vibe inside. Serious coffee drinkers come quick. I ordered a Cortado w/ oat milk. The cashier up front was friendly and on my way out helped advise me on which beans to get. Yes, I walked away with their Quixote espresso blend, which is what they use in their espressos. Coffee came quickly and while the foam art was not peak, who cares. The coffee itself was fantastic. It was smooth, rich and no acid on the tongue. There are precious few tables in there and a table of four feels crowded. I love it. It feels very intimate, almost like you are behind the scenes. Shhhh, all you serious coffee drinkers, don't tell too many people how awesome this place is. I rarely give ALL the stars, but this one I had to review immediately and give the love. read more

Stopped by for a little pick me up. I love that. They roast their own coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Industrial, low-key, cozy vibes with a small seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fully open concept where you can see the roasters and all of the equipment and supply, which is pretty cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You know EXACTLY where your cuppa came from. I ordered the triple shot oat milk latte with cinnamon powder. Very well done. Creamy and delicious. Service was friendly. My only issue is that alt milks are $1 surcharge, which is a frustration I have with the industry is a whole. However, many local shops, even big chains like Starbucks and Peet's, are now offering alt milks for no additional charge. Very solid 4+/5. Will be back. Recommend if you are in the area! read more

My friend recommended this coffee shop while on a work trip, and it instantly became my favorite cafe to visit on the daily! I ordered the Iced Lavender Matcha Latte, the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, and the Cookie Dough Croissant nearly every visit! The good: I love the Iced Lavender Matcha Latte! I enjoyed it so much that I would order two orders of it because it was never enough. The Cookie Dough Croissant is absolutely delicious, sweet, and unique since you won't find this anywhere else. It could definitely used more chocolate chips, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin is absolutely amazing if you are a pumpkin lover. The cream cheese goes really well and helps make the muffin stay moist and creamy with each bite. The bad: The Iced Lavender Matcha Latte comes in a standard sized cup, where they only offer one size, but I wish they had a 20oz or 30oz cup because I will instantly chug this down in one gulp. Overall, if I'm ever back in this area, I will continue to go to this cafe for my daily latte and pastries! read more

A cozy coffee shop offering excellent service and friendly staff. We were looking for coffee, and Google led us to this location. Prices are comparable to Starbucks, but the quality here is noticeably better. They offer daily drip coffee selections as well as several specialty drinks. While only basic pastries are available, the focus is clearly on the coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop also appears to be pet-friendly, as we saw a dog during our visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is convenient and easily accessible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a quiet day, but I can't image how busy they will get in normal morning or weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This was close to my nearest Costco so I had to check it out! Unfortunately I was unable to sit down and admire everything they had in the seating area but I was fortunate enough to take photos. Parking can be limited as there aren't much spots in front of the shop but I'm sure you can park anywhere that's open since it's a giant industrial part. Walking in there is the fragrance of coffee in the air, and it smells really good. There's shelves of merchandise and lots of available bagged coffee beans to grab and go with. There's a board of their seasonal drinks but if you turn towards the counter, there's the menu as well. Since time was limited, I went with something I like to go for so I got the seasonal Matcha Lavender Latte. I was greeted by a staff member and my order was immediately placed. I got it to go within a few minutes and I went outside to taste test. The Matcha Lavender Latte was made with of course, Matcha, Homemade Lavender Syrup and Steamed Milk. It was smooth, not too sweet but just the right temperature to sip on the way back home. It was delicious. I do want to come back to try out their pastries if they have any and perhaps sit down in their store, the ambiance inside looks vast and features many tables to do your work at. I am amazed that I was the only one in there honestly. Can't wait to come back again! read more

My father and I have made it our little weekend routine to go to Cervantes every Saturday to sit down over some coffee and a chai latte (my favorite) and enjoy each other's company. The workers and the owner herself are kind and serve us with a smile every time--something I need after a long week. I am always pleased with their chai latte! It is my absolute favorite and tastes so good iced and hot. I highly recommend checking out Cervantes--you are supporting local coffee roasters and possibly enjoying some of the best coffee (in my opinion). Thanks Cervantes!! read more

In an industrial part of Springfield, Virginia is a woman-owned and immigrant-owned coffee roastery/cafe. After growing up with a grandfather with a coffee farm in Bolivia, the owner now sources single-origin coffee for the D.C. area. Stopping in on a Friday morning to work, here's my experience. 1) Coffee: Beans from Central and South America are roasted onsite so the smell of coffee surrounds every room. Their menu is large and I really enjoyed the iced honey lavender latte. A sign in the roastery lists the countries where they source beans and the owner visits each farm regularly- Peru, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Bolivia, Honduras, Colombia, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. 2) Food: They sell a variety of pastries. My cheese danish was large and came out warm on a plate. It was delicious! 3) Space: When you first walk in, the space seems tiny. There's a room where you order and it looks dark and old. Walk past it to a medium-sized space where there's the roastery, coffee lab, and tables. There are more tables upstairs! They have free wifi and outlets throughout. 4) Parking: There are a few reserved spots for customers out front. read more

Such an interesting place for coffee. Definitely the ambiance is very different from chain coffee shop. I was in the area and I am glad I tried them out. The latte I had was just wow. Very fresh and refreshing. I also had a spinach quiche which was ok... could have been better. But the coffee made up for it. read more

If you live within 5 miles of here or just stopping by costco, this is a must go. What an amazing coffee shop and roasters that really just cares about coffee without being too pretentious. They have amazing coffee for the diehard as well as fun concoctions for anyone looking for something sweet. Very hipster vibe in the back room and laid back. They also do classes and training for anyone thay wants to learn how to brew a better cup or new method. Great staff that never judges you for any questions. Don't skip on the food and pastries either, just classic good compliments to a good cup. You won't regret it! read more

They have the best iced latte around, and that's not hyperbole. It's fantastic and better than any of the other local or chain coffee shops. It's a pretty hip, relaxed atmosphere too, such is nice. Parking can be a problem, especially mid-morning on weekdays. I'm not sure if they have legal overflow parking or not. My only "complaint" is that I get charged a different price each time for the same order. I normally order us two iced lattes. I've been charged $12.66, $11.78, $11.28, and $10.44. Image attached. I'm not sure what's going on, but it shouldn't be hard to correct and fairly charge all guests the same rate. read more

I was sooo wrapped up in the food and drinks that I forgot to take pictures. Oh well! Next time! read more

I want to give more stars.... My coffee was a 5- really good! Our pastries were just ok. The atmosphere was super unique.. fun to sit there and take in the bean roasting area. The parking is not the greatest, lots of spaces that are labeled towaway for other businesses. The worst part was the young woman taking our order... super rude and unfriendly. Luckily the experience got better after that... read more

With 4 brewing methods, pour over, French press, aero-press or siphon you can't go wrong getting coffee the way you want it. My latte was amazing and strong. Staff was super friendly explaining the brewing methods. Staff playing fun music as they roast coffee in the back. They also have brewing classes for those that want to know how to make coffee the right way. One table if you want to have it in the shop. It's a bit of a drive to get here but we are dining back to Cervantes. read more

Great local spot! Handcrafted coffees made and served in the same room where the roasting is done. Ambiance is quiet and relaxed. Don't expect loud music and baristas. Pastries and matcha latte are yummy, too. read more

My daughter loves their iced matcha, but i hate going here. First because I have ordered several other hot coffee drinks and none have come out correctly. For example, today I ordered a vanilla latte that definitely has no vanilla in it. I knew I should have tried it before I left but I was in a rush. Secondly the parking is a nightmare. Because of its location on Fullerton, it only has a few spots for customers and many opt to camp out. Thirdly the hours are inconvenient at best. It doesn't open until 8 am, closes at 3 pm and is even closed on Sundays. I get that it is a small, locally owned coffee shop and I prefer to support locally but I always leave this place annoyed. 2 stars for the matcha. read more

We stopped here while passing through on a road trip. I'll say that my cold brew coffee came out very well with a shot of espresso. But my wife wasn't too thrilled with her iced coffee, calling it watered down. But I like what they're doing here. I can see why everyone likes it. read more

Excellent place to stop before fighting traffic or after fighting traffic. Besides a full coffee bar and excellent customer service there is plenty of seating and meeting areas for one to unwind, process, and re fuel. This is my second time visiting...you can tell this place means business with the heavy coffee machinery and efficient processes. I ordered food on my second trip and also set upstairs secluded from all as I read a few documents and waited for my meeting to start...the barista was nice enough to bring my order upstairs...shocked the heck outta me...I'm so used to Starbucks screaming my name that I can appreciate this type of friendly service...try the spinach croissant...they warm it up perfectly... There is reserved parking in the front of the place so don't be alarmed by the number of cars present.. read more

Cervantes Coffee - Perfect spot for unwinding...upstairs flow - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Why the 4 stars?! The coconut macaroon latte is to die for, and the ambiance is pretty nifty considering it looks like it's built in a car shop. I've never been to something so unique so it's pretty cool to see. The coconut macaroon latte was so smooth none of the burnt starbucks taste from their expresso. It was a perfect balance and not too sweet or taste from artificial coconut. It was pleasantly delicious more so that I craved for another right after I finished. Luckily this spot is only 2 minutes down the road from me! Can't wait to try more seasonal and original menu items. My only drawback from giving this place a 5 star is the service. The gal who assisted didn't even acknowledge that I was there for almost 8 minutes and she wasn't even doing anything. Just on her phone... I had my daughter with me and wanted to get in and out. The gal wasn't even friendly she legit stared at me and waited for me to give her the order and when asked a question about the cup sizes she gave me the most mono toned answer. "Seasonal drinks come in one size" with no expression. After I ordered, there no thank or "I'll be right back." Just walked to the back and made my drink. In the mean time another lady cleaning kept staring at me and my daughter wanted juice, I looked over and asked her if I can pay for it. She sighs with the rudest look on her face rings it up gives me the price, I said thank you and she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Sad that a place that has so much potential has such crappy workers... anywho I got my drink and she also didn't say anything when I said thank you. Glad my drink changed my frown upside down. read more

Cervantes Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Talk about a hidden gem! This place is an unassuming little coffee shop tucked away in a very peculiar building. In fact, the parking situation almost persuades you to go somewhere else. However, I beg you, don't. You will be missing out on a great experience. Cervantes gets its name from Miguel de Cervantes the author of the famous Spanish literary classic and history's first modern novel, "Don Quixote." In fact, you can purchase a sticker with Quixote's likeness on it for $1.00. The coffee is amazing and the pastries are to die for! My wife ordered an iced orange latte (seasonal) and I ordered a hot lavender latte (seasonal). Both were very delicious! The iced latte was perfectly refreshing for a hot summer day while the hot latte was transcendent, exporting me to total relaxation. To complement these drinks we enjoyed an airy chocolate croissant and a sweet, fluffy strawberry cream cheese muffin. They serve more pastries than just these two. The others looked equally amazing, and they even have gluten-free options. Also, just to add a little more enticement, a lot of their syrups are homemade. The shop is a lot bigger than you will initially think. Walking in you'll notice that before you get to the checkout counter there is a room with specialty items and coffee for purchase. After you pass by the checkout counter, you'll enter the large seating area filled with chairs, tables, and comfy seats...oh my. Upstairs, yes, there's an upstairs, there is more seating and a little bookshelf in case you want to do some reading. However, before you get too comfortable make sure you don't stay more than an hour, per the green signs on the tables (psst, I don't think they strictly enforce this though). There are two single, unisex bathrooms in the shop, one upstairs and one downstairs, both clean. Additionally, while in the seating area, you'll notice the beautiful, relaxing Latin music filling the silence. Lastly, let's talk about parking. Parking is horrible. There are only about 6 reserved spots for the coffee shop. They are labeled 7644 and are directly in front of the shop entrance. All the other spots are reserved for the other 20 million shops located in the same building. Overall, what a great little shop providing an awesome experience. I don't have to say it because I know you will, but here it is anyway...Enjoy! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed their coffee beans and lattes but the customer service is horrendous. No smile, no "sorry for the wait" and today was the last straw for me. I ordered for an iced latte from the front Hispanic lady. A different employee, the barista, made me a hot latte. That's fine but I asked if it could be iced instead. The barista asked me if I ordered it iced because it's a different price in which I responded yes. The Hispanic girl who took my order was standing beside her immediately stated an accusatory "no you didn't" and just glared at me. I'm not one to argue who said what or who said that because even if I refuted with her that I did indeed order an iced latte, what would that even accomplish? Well carrying my heavy toddler in one arm, I just said "ok I'll just pay for the difference" The nice barista went ahead to make my iced latte and comped the difference. But MAN did that leave a bad taste in my mouth and disgust for such terrible customer service. Mind you, when she took my order, she did not clarify whether it would be iced or hot. She may have missed the "iced" part when I said iced Spanish latte but I'm quite sure most other places would ask to clarify if the customers wanted it iced or hot. Anyways, they can keep their ego and their poor, horrible customer service. I hope this worker can have a better day to serve her customers better! Peace be with her. read more

It doesn't look like a coffee place outside, but once you get in, it feels real and authentic. It's one of those hidden places in a business center rather than a mall or a typical shopping center. The inside gave fresh vibes, having large coffee bags present and the coffee/espresso machines out exposed for everyone to see. It's not your Starbucks, but the aesthetics makes this place cozy and warm. The pop tart tastes like it's freshly baked, but not warm (on display). It wasn't too sweet, making it enjoyable as a dessert/snack. The turtle latte sounded the sweetest, but it wasn't anything crazy. You still had the espresso taste but creamed down, making it balanced. read more

While looking for new coffee spots, I found Cervantes on yelp! It seemed like a good candidate from all the reviews I read. Since I lived nearby, I thought why not try it today. I was very surprised at the location because it seemed to be in a place where people wouldn't think to go. However, I think this hidden gem is worth it! The cashier was super attentive and welcoming. The inside was very different from your usual coffee shops since they had a bunch of bags and tools everywhere. However, I really liked the environment of the place. I think they decorated it quite nicely. For a small coffee shop the place had a variety of options from coffee, non coffee drinks, and pastries. I got an iced vanilla latte and a cinnamon sugar pop tart. My friend got an iced turtle latte. The iced vanilla latte was good but the pop tart was the highlight of the trip. I thought it had just the right amount of sweetness not too much. My friend said his drink was good too but he preferred a bit sweeter. The overall experience was a 9/10 and def would come back! Loved the vibes to this place (: read more

Was in the area and needed a coffee and Cervantes popped up. Mixed in an industrial/warehouse area not what I expected but it makes sense once you see they are a wholesaler. I walked in around noon on a Saturday & there were 8 waiting for their order in the small store front. To go only for now and all about the coffee here although I saw some muffins/croissants and a sign for a Quiche. Also, Oatmeal and soft drinks/juices. Ordered an Iced Turtle Latte. Really enjoyed it as I could taste the Espresso and the chocolate, hazelnut complimenting vs overpowering the coffee. Also, got a chocolate croissant which was ok (don't think it was made on-site). They have some interesting varieties that you definitely won't get at the chain coffee shops. (Orange Latte, Honey Lavender Latte, Vietnamese Coffee and Japanese Iced Coffee). Affogato is also on the menu! And of course they have a good variety of Roasted coffee for sale. Single Origin, Ethically Sourced, & Artisan Roasted according to their website-"an award winning small batch coffee roaster." Friendly people at the counter and hustling to prepare the coffee orders in the back. Most definitely local flavor and a refreshing difference from the cafes that are on every corner. If you're in the area, worth the stop! read more
