I didn't realize that Backstory opened up where Fiddlehead Coffee was a few years back. The…read morelocation is not far from the MOA nearby many apartment buildings. There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

It's funny how poor customer service completely changes your attitude towards a business you used…read moreto enjoy. I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

This was my first time at a Capital One Café, and I really love the experience!…read more Being a Capital One credit card holder I get half off on drinks and personalized banking here.

Walking in, it was very warmly designed and had plenty of space and seating options from solo or group settings. There's some outlet options around as needed as well.

The staff was welcoming and assisted promptly and explained to me that it was like a latte with cinnamon swirl syrup which sounded great to me. It's definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're in the area!

First things first--the vibe is chef's kiss if you're into cozy, low-key, intentional spaces. It's quaint without trying too hard, and it doesn't have that loud, chaotic coffee shop energy. I was actually able to focus, which says a lot. Now what really sets this place apart? It's tucked inside Zawadi Center, and that matters. This isn't just a grab-your-drink-and-go type of café. You're surrounded by culture, community, and a space that feels like it means something. Between the event space, the restaurant, and the overall energy, it feels layered... like you accidentally found a hidden gem that locals want to keep to themselves. The refresher? Solid. Did what it needed to do. No complaints there. If I had to give a little Yelp Elite honesty: seating can be a bit limited depending on timing, and if you're someone who needs complete silence, this might not be your spot when it gets busier. It's more "focused but alive" than "library quiet." Overall, this is the kind of place you come to reset, get a little inspired, and maybe romanticize your life for a couple hours. Will I be back? Absolutely.

There's also a bagel spot next door that was pretty swell, making this the perfect breakfast and coffee spot! I will add, there isn't much seating at either spot, so be ready to grab and go your items. This is great for a walk nearby, enjoy in your car, or take your goodies home! Regardless of that, these spots are so worth it, I will be going back soon!

While waiting for a friend who was at an appointment upstairs, I wandered down and found Ambrosia. I was lucky. I found a clean setting that offered a very pleasant view (ok...a little snowy and windy) and two employees who were polite, eager to assist and smiling. I enjoyed a hot chocolate (with a touch of rasberry as I recall) and a fresh chocolate/chocolate chiip muffin...which was warmed by one of the staff members. This is not a setting that's going to generate tons of cash. However, it is definitely a place that likely generates pleasant surprises, and positive guest reactions. Congratulations!
