    Gavi Brunch Cafe is located within the food hall in the middle of Chantilly. Not to be confused with their Centreville location. Parking is easy and free. Service prompt and wait time minimal. The matcha Einspanner I got was very creamy and a tad bit on the sweeter side. Their tarts and pastries didn't taste very fresh. The cream topping on the tart had a hardened toothpaste consistency. Just stale and yucky. Pretty to look at, however. I know this location is well known for their sandwiches so I am willing to give them a try in the future. But the tarts and pastries are a hard pass.

    Gavi & Tilly's Cafe is welcoming of PETs on the Patio! I brought my pup to breakfast as we were out running errands all morning and wanted a break. With good food. And not eaten in a CAR. So we can for Gavi's amazing breakfast sandwiches, their little treats like this tiramisu and drink options. The food was good, the outside was relaxing and honestly it's so calming that my pup is welcomed into places making this a experience for the whole family. If they had some rice topped with sweat potatoes I would def buy a bowl for him.

    The sandwiches were great and very filling. The Bulgogi was our favorite. The Donkatsu sandwich was really good too though. The Honey Ricotta Toast was a bit too toast for me. It was tasty, but hard to eat with the bread being so hard. I wouldn't do the toast again, but the Bulgogi Sandwich was so good that we order another to go. The staff was nice enough to tell us how we could warm it up when we got home. Great! Overall, a very enjoyable experience. I love the idea of a food hall.

    First time ordering and definitely not our last! My coworker suggested Tilly's but I asked if she can grab my Gavi order...well everyone started looking at the website and suddenly changed their mind on Tilly's. Next thing you know there's seven Gavi orders! My bulgogi sandwich was so good. I think I ate it in record time like my life depended on it! My associate got the steak and cheese; he noted to add tomato but didn't expect them to even notice but they were on there and he was happy! Another associate said the Peruvian chicken sandwich was delicious as well! Gavi will now be part of our regular rotation

    Salt bread, matcha salt bread

    I thought the matcha salt bread was gonna have MATCHA CREAM!!! It did NOT. I was massively disappointed by the salt breads both were not buttery or flaky enough. Also didn't taste very fresh. I also tried the matcha cream croissant and while the cream was good the croissant itself was so unfresh and soggy. The mango croffle was good I think because i didn't need to be as flaky to be fresh. The cream again was def the better part of both. The hot chicken sandwich is good though. Maybe it could be a bit more spicy and flavorful but it was solid. The seating in here is great and love the vibe of the whole place.

    Matcha and Strawberry & Matcha Bingsoo

    I stopped by GAVI Brunch Cafe after 8pm and learned that the kitchen closes at that time, so they're only serving drinks, cake by the slice, and bingsoo in the evening. Not a huge issue since I was mainly in the mood for something sweet, but it's definitely something to know before you go. I really enjoyed my Hojicha Latte -- smooth, cozy, and easily the highlight of my visit. For dessert, I tried the Yogurt Blueberry Cake Slice, which was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't really stand out or feel memorable. Unfortunately, the bingsoo was the biggest letdown. I ordered both the Matcha Bingsoo and the Strawberry & Matcha Bingsoo, and they were disappointing. The texture and flavor leaned heavily toward tasting like shaved milk, and that's just not how I personally like my dairy-based desserts. I was hoping for more depth -- like stronger matcha flavor, and more layers of fruit and syrup to balance everything out. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks, but I'd probably skip the bingsoo next time.

    We wanted to try the new addition that replaced Semicolon Cafe. - Matcha Strawberry Bingsoo -- yummy, but pricey for the portion size - Strawberry Cream Scone -- too dry - Iced Chai Latte -- too watered down The interior is a modern food hall with open and secluded seating. Overall, the service was prompt and decent.

    FOOD We tried the donkatsu and kimchi bulgogi sandwiches, both of which were beautifully presented and filling. The donkatsu sandwich was on the heavier side and a bit messy to eat. The kimchi bulgogi sandwich was incredibly juicy, but the juices pooled at the bottom, leaving one half of the sandwich soggy that was prone to falling apart. We found ourselves needing extra napkins to catch the mess and wished the plates were larger to better accommodate the sandwiches' size and messiness. DRINKS I had the iced tiramisu latte, which was light, flavorful, and not too sweet. While it included mascarpone, a rolled wafer, and a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate powder, the $7+ price tag felt steep for what it offered. SERVICE The staff were kind and friendly. AMBIANCE Tilly Kitchen provides a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for catching up with friends or working remotely. The space offers free Wi-Fi (no password required) and plenty of outlets throughout the seating areas. The bathrooms in the back of the food hall are clean and tidy. PARKING Ample parking is available both around the food hall and in the neighboring plaza, making it easy to find a spot.

    Gavi Cafe ('gabee') is located inside Tilly Kitchen, and they offer breakfast and brunch options - specifically, they are popular with their Korean toast all-day sandwiches, as it was added to this new spot that overtook Semicolon Cafe. We came here for an early lunch, and ordering via the kiosk was super convenient: +a Bulgogi K-BBQ Cheese Egg toast sandwich - this came with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, scrambled eggs with mozzarella cheese, and bulgogi, drizzled with a house sauce; the brioche toast was super thin, and could have been more toasted and buttery, as it just tasted like white toast; another issue was that even though we were waiting for a bit for this order, the sandwich didn't even come out piping hot, and it was didn't seem to be heated through appropriately +a Chai - this was awful - super watered down, not sure if they used some off-brand syrup to just flavor the water, but this was gross and undrinkable; we had to ask for a refund for this one! +and, a Mango Lemonade - this was okay, but it tasted slightly artificial It's unfortunately, because the sandwich, when prepared and actually served piping hot, could have been tasty, especially with the house sauce that they use. The staff here are friendly, but they're more on the slower end and has no sense of urgency. +cold toast sandwiches +avoid their beverages +slow service +located inside Tilly Kitchen +plenty of parking in large plaza lot

    Separate matcha from matcha latte
    Brandon C.

    Food Hall style place. Order at the stand and pick a table. Nice chill spot. Sandwich was decent. $12 for a thicc egg sandwich. Some may find it difficult to eat because it is quite thick you have to smush it down a bit. My issue is with the drink I got. Iced matcha lattes are usually one of my go to, but this tasted super chalky and thick. It was easily one of the worst matcha lattes Ive had unfortunately. I didn't end up drinking it and the matcha eventually separated from the water inside. Pretty gross.

    Great for quick brunch and desserts! The kimchi bulgogi is a must try! They also have a good menu for coffee and even bingsu!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich - just ok
    Linda B.

    Yes, this was good, but not wonderful. Not sure what the what the plain einspanner latte was going to be, but it was alright. I ordered through Uber eats and it was delivered quickly, but everything was all right. I also ordered a chicken salad sandwich on sourdough and added avocado. I also ordered a brewed coffee with oat milk. Everything tasted alright. May or may not order from here again. It's up in the air. Sorry!

    I was previously a big fan of the Semicolon cafe and was sad to hear that it was no longer. In its place is the Gavi Brunch Cafe. I came to find out that it is nearly the same menu and actually has a bigger menu! I ordered the Bulgogi Sandwich. I got it with Lettuce, Bulgogi, Egg, and the most delicious sauce. It was so aesthetically pleasing that I almost didn't want to eat it. It was so delicious. I can't wait to go back.

    The dessert and bakery part is really bad. They are not tasteful and not fresh. I wouldn't recommend it.

    Twisted Sweets and Savory - Hungarian on Jalapeño Bagel sandwich!

    Twisted Sweets and Savory had been on my radar for quite some time. Yet, it took us quite a while…read moreto give it a try. In part, that was us not quite able to figure out exactly where it was. Grant Street, it turns out, is disjointed. In other words, it's not like it's just a straight shot from one end to the other. We stopped in here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. The place closes at 6 p.m., and are closed on Sunday. At that time of day, they weren't at all busy. The young man at the counter took our orders, and someone working in the back made the sandwiches. We just ordered savory items, so we can't speak to how the sweet items are (although some of them sounded so good). I ordered the salmon sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with dill cream cheese, filled with smoked Atlantic salmon, spring mix, cucumber, and red onion." The bread choices are everything bagel, jalapeno, and cheesy. I chose the everything bagel and asked for no onion. I found this sandwich to be tasty, but I thought they could have gone lighter with the dill cream cheese. The bread had a nice crispness. My husband ordered the ham and Swiss sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with paprika mayo and filled with black forest ham, Swiss cheese, fresh romaine hearts, spring mix, sweet pepper, tomato, cucumber, and red onion". He wasn't happy with the paprika mayo, as he says mustard would have worked better. Nor did he care for the sweet peppers. Now he knows not to order the default setting for this sandwich but instead to customize the toppings. They work with DoorDash, which, when ordering online, gives the option to customize one's order. There are high tables, the type that are found in bars, for those who want to eat their sandwiches there. The place is kept very clean.

    I've been wanting to come to this bakery for a long time. I finally made it, the restaurant bakery…read moreis very clean and modern. They were very helpful and gave me recommendations. I settled for the Hungarian sandwich and I tried the cannoli and pistachio twists. I loved all- they were delicious! I can't wait to go back!

    I won't be be super harsh on them cuz the staff was nice and friendly. The girl at the register was…read morenew and training I think. She was very nice and helpful with me ordering my food for the first time. Now to the bad part. I've heard a bunch about this place and maybe it was hyped up a lil too much but I was disappointed with the food. I got the classic chicken salad croissant sandwich with couple sides. The broccoli side was pretty good. Tasted solid but I feel like it would be better hot or at least w melted cheese instead of just cold shredded pieces on top. The Mac cheese was just plain cheap microwaved stuff with bland runny sauce n no extra cheese on top. And then the sandwich. I've been obsessed w chicken salad sandwichs (specifically on a croissant) since my older brother used to work at Vie De France back in the 90's. I was excited to try this and it wasn't horrible or even bad but it wasn't great. The croissant was prob the worst part. Its like not a real croissant, it reminded me of something u would get on an airplane. It wasn't flaky and just kinda tastes like white bread. The chicken salad was also mid at best. Very bland and unimpressive Specially at almost 20 bucks for the platter. Maybe I should try one of the other kind. And I will. I'll give this place one more try. Maybe I'll update this then. But for now I do not recommend.
