    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
    Missi L.

    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.

I'm glad she did because we ended up changing our order and were very happy with the results. At first we wanted the classic açaí bowls with waffles on the side, but changed the order to a mixture of waffle pages and bowls to fit our preferences. For the waffle package you can get it made with the waffle on top of the açaí or you can deconstruct the package and have the waffle on the side. There's an option to eat inside, which is always very tidy and nice or outside of the establishment, which is comfortable either way (or of course, take your order to go). They have a free rewards program that comes in handy for discounts. 10/10 recommend!

When I explained to her, she checked the receipt and realized her mistake then remade my drinks, which is fine bc mistakes happen! But when she handed me my drinks, i noticed she shorted me for one of the drinks.. I even saw her scraping the last bit from the blender into the cup, clearly aware it wasn't enough, but she didn't address it or offer to top it off. After waiting extra time for the corrected order, it felt frustrating to be shorted again. All I'm saying is if I'm promised a size, it shouldn't come up short, especially after a mistake was already fixed. The reason for the five stars is because this place is usually very good to me. I'm hoping this was just an off day.

    Terrible Customer Service - Never Again…read more I visited Smoothie King for the first (and last) time after a workout, hoping for a quick protein shake to raise my glucose levels as I am diabetic. Instead, I waited 15 minutes for my order while another customer who ordered after me was served first. When I inquired about the delay, I was told they had forgotten my order due to a mix-up. To top it off the two employees were laughing. Frustrated, I requested a refund, but the teenage employee said he had to call the manager--who wasn't even present. When I questioned why, he had no answer and insisted he couldn't process the refund. I told him that I would call the police. He called the manager, who asked to speak to me, I explained what had happened. He was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Instead of addressing my concerns, he asked for my name and number, which I refused to give. He then dismissed me, told me to "call the police," and yelled at me when I pointed out the extra time and his unsanitary food-handling practices. They didn't have on gloves while handling fruits. A business should empower its staff to handle refunds when service fails. Additionally, kindness and professionalism should be basic expectations in customer service. Unfortunately, this location failed on all fronts. I won't be returning, and I hope they take steps to retrain their staff and improve their policies. Needless to say, I was not refunded my money and I declined to wait another minute for a now 20 minutes. Smoothie King will never get my hard-earned money. I left and came back to tell them that they were wrong and that I would share my experience so others are aware of their no-refund in-person policy.

He is so nice and I could tell he cares and knows his stuff. I was eager to try sea moss as it has many benefits. I believe a jar was about $50. I bought one flavorless and was consistent with taking it orally and a week later I began applying it topically on my face. From my honest experience it helped calm down my cystic acne, but only when I began applying it topically. As for energy levels, more focus, overall better moods, etc.., it made a very subtle difference. My sister who was also taking it with me said that she felt a difference in her energy levels and felt "happier" / in a better mood. I think it just depends on each person. The taste was not bad at first but after a few times of taking it morning and evening (twice a day) I was not liking the taste. When it goes in the texture is gel / pudding like with no flavor but after you swallow it tastes like something that shouldn't be edible. I don't have the right words to describe the taste because it is 100% edible, just does not taste like it should be. There are also many different products at the store. I would recommend giving sea moss a try if it is something you're interested in because it helped me with what I was searching for, just not the other benefits it is supposed to have.
