Dejah D.

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to try this place while I was in town--Such a hidden gem! The inside it's huge but I really loved the traditional floor seating; so cute and cozy! And the food and beverages came out rather quickly, so I can't complain about the service either. I had the pleasure of trying the orange matcha which was one of the best matchas I have indulged in my life. The orange was a bit sweet so you'll definitely need to stir it up as it sits at the bottom but if you're looking for a good matcha--Give that a try! Anywho, I swung back over here before heading out of town and gave the mango frost a try which was another delicious drink... I honestly enjoyed them both so much I couldn't tell you which was better. As for the food; my friend tried the cheesy sweet potato fries and I had the basil fried rice and when I tell you those fries were so crispy and fresh and the cheesy coating almost reminded me of Cheetos or popcorn dust but it complimented the fries very well and the rice was fresh and flavorful and a pretty big portion too! Dying to return here the next time I'm in town

Thai tea
Destiny E.

I love this little place. A friend brought me here for a Thai tea one day when I had a craving. I was instantly hooked. When I'm in the area, I will definitely be stopping by. It has such a cute little inside that it's perfect for a little café situation, or a quick tea date with your friend or kid. It is such a cute little vibe. I love all the different types of seating and decor. Additionally, the Thai tea (about $7.50 for a large) here is delicious. They have a full Boba bar, which has tons of different milk teas on it. Their food menu is cute as well. It has pho, bahn mi, spring rolls, and a number of different items. It is convenient to get these items, but they are definitely a bit overpriced, especially considering that there are some really delicious Vietnamese spots not too far from here. One item that I can personally attest to being a little mid and overpriced is the spring rolls. I paid somewhere between seven and nine dollars for two. They were not that flavorful and they were pretty small. Service is usually pretty quick for drinks. I've ordered online and also in store before. I've never waited more than three minutes for my drink. I did wait about 17 minutes for spring rolls one time, but it is what it is. Overall, I will come back. I'm actually planning to take the kid there one of these days for a cute little day date.

Iced egg latte
Ian B.

Everything about this place is a 10/10! We're from out of town, but in the few days we're in this area, I will be here every day. The name is very fitting; the ambiance is extremely chill. They only play jazz, so you can actually come and relax instead of hearing someone else's taste in pop. My iced egg latte was exactly how I would make a coffee drink at home, which shocked me. One of the best lattes I've had in a long time. The service has been great. Every detail inside the shop has blown me away, from the shoeless seating on the floor to the endless paper cranes, and the incredible old camera collection. Thank you to the owners for putting all of your heart and creativity into a place that I will continue to visit when I'm in the DC area!

Tai chin pho
Emily H.

Awesome, cozy little spot with delicious food! The pho was very flavorful and delicious, loved every bite. When you enter you order everything at the counter and then seat yourself. Staff was very kind and food came quickly. This place definitely lives up to the name, "chill" atmosphere was perfect for enjoying a meal while catching up with friends in the ambient dining area.

Taro latte
Jamie J.

Great spot! Came in there to do some work and the tea/coffee selection is great. I also picked up lunch here and the Banh Mi sandwiches are amazing. It does get crowded around lunch hour but i was able to snag a seat before then.

Service: you order your food and beverage at the counter. Food: Vietnamese fusion. I ordered the egg coffee with was smaller than I had expected for $7!!! But it was delicious. I also ordered the chicken wings. The sauce was ok - I wished they would have done the classic wings with fish sauce. They served it with a side of blue cheese. My friend got the basil fries and Banh Mi which she enjoyed. Ambiance: super cute interior. It's small with 3 small tables, 1 communal table l, a lounge area and a stage for entertainment. Overall I liked this little spot in Arlington. I think the prices are a bit high. I think I prefer the beverages more than the food.

Viet Frapp
Nicole O.

I love the coziness of this cafe and it has really unique seating and decor. I actually took inspiration from their plant corner and bought the same plant stand for my new house. The best things to get here are the Vietnamese coffee-based drinks. My go-to used to be the Vietnamese frappe with some jelly added to it but I recently had a taste test with both the hot and cold versions of their cà phê trứng (egg coffee). The hot version was small and concentrated and the iced version is medium sized, thick, and velvety. It is a special treat that I like to indulge in every once in a while and it's worth the short wait. While waiting and enjoying my drink I usually play on the typewriter, fold origami paper cranes, or look at their vintage cameras decorating the back wall. There is limited parking but it is next to other business that have more parking spots (orthodontist).

Papaya "salad"
Jay P.

If you come here strictly for drinks - boba, tea, etc. - it's a nice spot, but for food, not worth the price. I ordered the Papaya Salad, and although it tasted good, it was just papaya with a few leaves - not a salad at all. See the picture. If you Google Papaya Salad and compare it any of those pictures to what was given, it was very disappointing. In fact, for ~$14, it was not worth it at all; even it were $10 it wouldn't have been worth it. The cafe did have a cozy vibe and some live music which was unique, but the place was much smaller than the pictures showed and not as organized/clean as the pictures led on either. I feel this place might have been great when it first opened, but now below average; especially with their prices.

This used to be my all time favorite hangout spot to go with my friends when I lived closer to Arlington! Super cozy inside with giant teddy bears and lots of seating with ambient lights and pretty decorations. Love all the drink options and the pho's really good, my only complaint is how expensive it's gotten for the small portions, I feel like they should be bigger if the price point is increasing that much. Absolutely love this place though, no other vietnamese places compare to the ambiance and good vibes of Chill Zone

Large Milk Tea with boba.
Kyle S.

The tea flavor is on par with other boba places in the area. The default sweetness level is very sugary, so if you want to taste the tea I would recommend requesting less sugar. On this visit, Chill Zone was out of the regular tapioca boba, so they recommended substituting the "crystal" boba instead. Unfortunately, the flavor doesn't really go well with a black milk tea, so I wouldn't opt for that again in the future. The layout and ambiance of Chill Zone is pretty nice and they've done a lot to make a smaller space comfortable and inviting. They also have a lot of great food options on their menu and I've had a good experience with those. As far as tea only, I'm not sure this would be my first pick but I guess it works in a pinch. Price wise, it is definitely on the higher end for tea since one large black milk tea with boba came out to $8.80 with tax.

Warm egg coffee
Samantha W.

Love this neighborhood, hole in the wall Vietnamese cafe! The coffees are some of the most unique and delicious I've had- especially the taro latte and warm egg coffee. The food is equally amazing- the pork bahn mi and pho are obvious, well done staples, but they have such an extensive, creative menu! Great vibes that keep me coming back.

Green Is Good (I think they ran out of chia seeds but it was still good)
Diana N.

This place surprises me every year. When I first tried this place pre-pandemic, they only had Boba, lattes, and hot teas. Compared to other places and how pricy it was, I always felt they were a 4 star establishment. I come back a year later and they started adding Vietnamese food which I thought was tasty. Again, not enough for me to come back right away. Recently, I went back after YEARS, and now they've added dishes like Peach Sticky rice along with a plethora of menu items. I loved the sticky rice dish! This shows Chill Zone improves every year and has become a very well-rounded establishment. I think after all these years, they deserve my 5 star review. I'm glad they stuck around!

The amount you pay is not worth it. You can get a better deal elsewhere. Not eco-friendly with plastics.

After a recent Pilates class in McLean I decided to stop by the local South Block to pick up a smoothie. Upon walking in I was greeted by one of the baristas. Based on where the iPads are in the shop I just decided to go straight to the self service kiosk to order my smoothie. I ended up going with their new Strawberry Cloud smoothie. It had a good blend of fruits and collagen protein. I've also always seen the cloud smoothies from Erewhon out in LA and have been curious of what they might taste like so I gave this one a whirl. The smoothie itself took about 5-7 minutes to be ready. And I'm happy to say I loved it! 10/10, no notes. South Block will definitely be seeing me again and I'm excited to check out some of their other items because the smoothie tasted really fresh. For this location specifically, I loved the outdoor and indoor seating options that they offer. The space was bright and very clean.

When I entered the store, I attempted to order a large black coffee. The young lady working, whom I believe was named Tracy, appeared to be more focused on entertaining and talking with a male patron than assisting customers. When I asked for a black coffee, she told me, "We've already cleaned our machines." I asked, "So you're not making any more coffee?" and she responded, "No." I pointed out that the posted closing time was 6:00 p.m. and that it was only 4:30 p.m. Her response was that they had been slow. I found it very concerning that a customer would be refused a basic menu item an hour and a half before the store's posted closing time simply because business had been slow and the equipment had already been cleaned. I then approached another employee, whom I believe was named Am, and asked for the manager's contact information. He explained that he did not have it but immediately asked if everything was okay. After I explained what had happened, Am stepped in without hesitation. He asked what kind of coffee I wanted, went over and made it for me, and apologized for my experience. When I attempted to pay for the coffee, Am would not allow me to do so. His professionalism, kindness, and willingness to correct a situation he did not create completely changed my experience. I am bringing this matter to the owner's attention because I believe the original interaction needs to be addressed. At the same time, I strongly believe Am deserves to be recognized. He demonstrated exactly what good customer service should look like--he listened, took ownership of the situation, resolved the issue, and made sure I left feeling valued as a customer. I would appreciate the opportunity to speak directly with the owner or manager regarding this experience. I also hope the appropriate recognition is given to Am for going above and beyond. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sunday Brunch day! Today I was craving a nice Omelette, and…read moremy brunch philosophy is always quality over quantity. And since it's officially fall, I couldn't resist adding a little pumpkin flavor to my Sunday with a pumpkin spice latte. I actually started at another restaurant that I won't name. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite meet the moment. I sat at the bar for almost 10 minutes without any acknowledgment from the bartender. I completely understand that Sundays during brunch can be busy, but a simple "Hey, I'll be right with you" would have made all the difference. So I decided to take my beautiful self to HomeGrown. ‍ And I'm glad I did! I knew it was Sunday brunch, so I expected it to be busy. Luckily, there were two open seats at the bar, and I was shown to one right away. The bar was busy, but the bartender immediately acknowledged me and let me know she'd be right with me. That small gesture was appreciated, so I happily sat back and waited. My bartender/waitress, Ashley, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone at the bar was taken care of. My food came out in a timely manner, and the omelet was really good! I substituted the bread for challah, and let me tell you... that was a good decision. And of course, I had to try the pumpkin spice latte. Delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday brunch experience at Homegrown and would definitely come back to try something else on the menu. Sometimes it really is the little things -- a simple acknowledgment, good service, good food, and a little fall flavor. Sunday brunch: redeemed.
