    Atmosphere was wonderful. The staff were super kind. There was a large group of individuals catching up when I came in, so I think it's great for the locals. The coffee was average but good. I just ordered a medium caramel latte for $5.50. Overall not bad coffee and located in a quaint little spot or town. This spot is accessible with no stairs!

    Came here on a first Friday in Manassas when they were open late and this spot makes killer spiked drinks! We did an Espresso Martini & a Salted Caramel Boozy Frappe that was literally out of this world. I would travel from Manassas just for it. Cute little shop with great service & ambiance. Will definitely be back sometime soon. Kudos to the owners of this shop.

    Cute spot near the Amtrak station. Grabbed a coffee and breakfast sandwich. I would go back!

    Decided to come here cause I lived in the area all my life but I have never gone to this cafe and I just wanted to say I regret not coming sooner! When you walk inside it's a nice & cozy environment that feels welcoming. The service there was also just fantastic, I didn't get to catch her name but she was so sweet & kind to me and my friend, best service from a cafe I have ever gotten! The bagel sandwich I got was amazing also, it hit the spot just right! The frappe was excellent too! 10/10 experience, this will definitely be my go to cafe in town!

    Cute local coffee shop! Good music inside, friendly workers. I visited from out of state for breakfast and coffee and it was worth the visit.

    Cute and cozy space to relax and enjoy your morning cup of joe or even a breakfast sandwich. Friendly staff and great service. If you're looking for a quick bite and pick me up, check them out.

    Turkey & Bacon Club Perfect amount of ranch.
    Nikk M.

    While I was at work I ordered from GCS. I ordered a blueberry muffin, with extra butter, and a turkey and bacon club, with no lettuce. The meal was enjoyable. Sadly, the restaurant appeared that they were out of butter, because when my food arrived I found a hand written note in my bag that simply said "out of butter :(". It's sad that a customer had to go without when a restaurant located in the middle of the city can't send someone to the many grocery stores around to pick up an item as simple as butter. I resigned my fate and chose to take the blueberry muffin home to eat, rather than go without at work. Next up was the turkey and bacon club. The sandwich was a delight, despite a few flaws. The sandwich was dripping with liquid.. it was either the ranch sauce or bacon grease, and given it's light flowing behavior I would hazard a guess that it's ranch sauce. Secondly, I received a tomato on one half of my sandwich which should never have even been picked from the farmer's fields, much less should it have made it through the selection process of acceptable produce for use in food items for serving a customer. This tomato was greener than Shrek, and just as hard and disgusting! The food was good, but they need to work on their stocking and food prep at the restaurant.

    A cozy, snuggly place to have a beautiful unique drink and play chess or work on your work project. I had a very perfect lavender vanilla latte. Perfect not a sweet sugar bomb, though if you want he can make it that way! Also had iced oatmilk chi london fog tea no sweetener. Both were made with precision and we enjoyed them in the sunshine. There are leather chairs. tables and outdoor seating.

    Melted, tomato and avocado sandwich

    I've been coming to this place often on since they opened. I believe 20+ years ago. I don't get food very often other than breakfast items but I was driving through after going to CVS yesterday and wanted something cold to drink and a quick sandwich. I ordered using their computer screen device. I picked the melted avocado and tomato sandwich. I couldn't see what it look like and it didn't really have a description when I got to my car and started driving. I took out the sandwich and it looked like a steaming hoagie roll. And instead of sliced avocado, it looked like runny guacamole. I was like whatever I'll just take a bite well because it was just heated hoagie roll. You can't just bite through imagine taking thick hoagie bread or hamburger bun and steaming it Well your teeth just Don't want to go through it because it's not crisp. It's almost impossible. And hot runny unseasoned avacado with hot tomato just doesn't work and the tiny bite I was able to put in my mouth, was extremely bitter as if there was no seasoning on the sandwich whatsoever. I don't know who he got to come up with this recipe, but they need to go back to the drawing board. Because there wasn't a photograph I didn't know what kind of bread would be used and trusting Matt to do good by his customers But all of the tomato and avocado sandwiches I have had in my life, have all been on grilled or toasted bread with either a garlic rub or mayonnaise, fresh sliced avocado, fresh sliced tomato, salt and pepper. This is none of that and I literally came home and put it in the garbage and I've never done that and for a sandwich to be over $10 I don't expect this.. the Boba tea I bought tasted fine, but the Boba's were not what you get in Korean shops they were just kind of deflated and mushy, but it did taste good, so hence the three stars. And I hate to be doing this to Matt, but he's got to do better, especially when charging these prices for a little sandwich

    A handy spot to grab a hand-crafted coffee in the heart of Old Town Manassas on Main Street. They also offer a selection of sandwiches. There's both indoor and outdoor seating and service is quick and efficient though not overly friendly. The coffee is better than average, so I'll probably stop back by next time I'm in the area. I didn't try a sandwich since I'm gluten free but they looked very good.

    Food is really good and reasonably priced, workers are polite and friendly and work quick. The place is also a good study area as well.

    The name promises Nashville hot chicken, but what arrives is flavorless fried chicken with zero…read morecayenne rub and no heat whatsoever. The pieces tasted bone-dry and unseasoned, like they'd never seen a buttermilk marinade. Worse, the oil situation was a mess: burnt crumbs clinging to every piece of chicken and the waffle fries, with that unmistakable smell of oil that's been pushed way past its lifespan. After a 20-minute wait, the chicken had an odd, stale towel funk that shouldn't exist anywhere near a fryer. For over $50 (eight pieces, two sides, three cornbreads, and a sandwich but no drinks), that's unacceptable. The mac and cheese tasted like it came from a Kraft box, and even the mashed potatoes were flat and underseasoned. It was Saturday at 8pm prime dinner rush, and the place had maybe four other customers while nearby restaurants were packed. That's not a coincidence. Only three months in and the kitchen's already cutting corners in ways that'll catch up fast. The cashier was genuinely helpful and the dining room was clean, but front-of-house can't save what's coming out of the back. When your chicken smells off and your fry oil's that far gone, you're not just disappointing people, but you're flirting with real problems. Takeaway: Skip it. There are too many better options in the area to settle for this. The empty dining room on a Saturday night should tell you everything you need to know.
