I got the red velvet latte, which was really sweet and had a distinct red velvet taste. I really enjoyed it, and I'd definitely recommend getting it while you're here!

The ambiance can be described as eclectic. There's so many seating options (couches, hightop tables, small group or individual seating). It's good for meeting up with a group, getting some homework done, or a casual date. They also have a meeting room with a whiteboard that you can reserve if you need a common space. Additionally, they have board games, so it's great to relax and vibe. The staff is so kind and chill as well! They were making free cheerios cups for kids, which was so nice. Also, their food and drink menu is so diverse. They have a mix of fresh made wraps/breakfast items as well as ready made snacks if you're looking for food, but what makes them great is their coffee. I got a pumpkin puff latte which was soooo delicious. The drink was a perfect balance of pumpkin and marshmallow syrup that felt like fall in a drink. I'd definitely recommend coming here to try a good coffee or just to decompress!

I'd ordered a latte with an extra shot, which admittedly was my mistake, because after only a few sips I started to feel jittery and unwell, so I asked if I could swap it out for a matcha. The barista said this wasn't possible and I had to pay for a second drink if I wanted it, which I did, but I just thought this was a bit different from my experience at other coffee shops where if I'm unable to eat or drink something comfortably, or even if it simply doesn't taste how I thought it might, I've been able to swap it out no questions asked, and certainly not for an additional cost. Although, the part that really threw me off was that as I was sitting and drinking my matcha, I overheard the baristas speaking negatively, and very loudly mind you, about other customers. I could very clearly hear their complaints about one customer in particular who apparently had asked multiple times whether or not they had an option for online ordering (they don't), but the baristas all seemed very openly annoyed by this customer and agreed with one another about it. It was a bit awkward to be sitting and hearing them talk so negatively about a customer, especially knowing that I too have asked them that same question before... I ended up feeling quite uncomfortable knowing that they probably thought me a difficult customer, too, for asking to swap out my drink and left soon after. Probably won't be back for a while, or at least until I can order online and not have to face the baristas again TLDR: Good coffee with cool specialty lattes/flavors, but baristas are a bit rude/unprofessional and openly talk negatively about "annoying" customers

Qamaria Latte $6.50 - Also yummy but not as strong flavor. The cake here is so good , if you love Treh Leche you would love it.

The café is cozy and beautifully decorated, with inviting little nooks throughout the space that make it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The real highlight for me, though, is the spacious outdoor patio. It's a wonderful setting for meeting a friend, having a casual business meeting, or simply enjoying some fresh air with your favorite drink. The menu offers a nice variety of coffee, tea, refreshers, and other specialty drinks. I initially tried the self-service ordering option but couldn't quite get it to work (probably user error! ), so I ordered directly with one of the baristas instead. Problem solved! I enjoyed my iced chai latte and am already looking forward to returning to try one of their refreshers. Between the welcoming atmosphere, thoughtfully designed spaces, and beautiful patio, Blend Coffee Bar is a great neighborhood spot worth checking out.

They have a wonderful selection of coffee/tea options but I prefer my standard chai or matcha. I tried their cranberry mocha and I wasn't a huge fan to be honest. I didn't taste any cranberry so to me it wasn't worth the $6 or $7. I also ordered their avocado toast but they didn't tell me they ran out of avocados until after I paid. So I ended up swapping to a caprese sandwich (which I'm glad I did) because I had a limited time. I actually think I would enjoy the sandwich more than the toast.

I just ordered a bubble waffle since that was what I was craving, but usually people will get the waffle with ice cream (there's plenty of flavor options with toppings).

With changing the sweetness level of boba, it's always a gamble on how it's going to affect the overall drink (most of the time, regular sweetness level is too much for me). The drink was okay, I wish there was more mango flavor in it though. I think maybe 75% sweetness would fix it, but I'm really not sure. Overall, I think it's an okay boba tea shop. If I'm at Dulles Town Center again, maybe I'll stop by and try a milk tea instead.

I have found the coffee shop I didn't know I was looking for…read more My wife told me I needed to check out Weird Brothers Coffee because, as she put it, "You're a huge Star Wars nerd. You're going to love this place." She knows me well. Walking into Weird Brothers feels a little like stumbling into the cantina after taking a wrong turn through Mos Eisley. The place is loaded with Star Wars, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Nightmare Before Christmas memorabilia. As a longtime Star Wars fan and hardcore comic collector, I immediately went into "Okay, let's see what they have" mode. And that's before even getting to the coffee. Weird Brothers roasts their own beans and has a bunch of sci-fi-themed blends. The names alone had me reaching for my wallet. I'm the kind of person who will buy a comic because it says "First Appearance" on the bag, so naturally I'm susceptible to coffee with a geeky name. They even have a special blend for the CrossFit gym next door, which I thought was a pretty cool touch. Nothing says community partnership quite like supplying caffeine to people voluntarily throwing heavy objects around at 6 a.m. Supporting your neighboring businesses? +5 reputation points. Now, about the food... Come here for the coffee. When we visited, they were completely out of the breakfast sandwiches. The remaining options were quiches, so we grabbed the ham & cheese and spinach. Unfortunately, they weren't freshly made and were simply reheated. They were perfectly edible, but definitely more "side quest" than "main storyline." The Americano, however, was good. That's what brought me back to the primary mission: coffee and geeky stuff. I definitely want to return and pick up a few bags of their beans. At this point, I'm basically looking at the coffee menu the same way I look at a wall of long boxes at a comic shop: "I don't need all of these... but I should probably check every single one just in case there's a key." Four stars for the coffee, atmosphere, in-house roasting, and ridiculous amount of geek cred. The food kept this from going to five stars, but I'll absolutely be back. Now excuse me while I go investigate these coffee blends like I'm hunting for a first appearance of Boba Fett in a stack of back issues. May the roast be with you.

It's not easy to find. Their address is on Southbank Street, but it can be easy to miss it as it is behind Robek's. We were here on a Sunday around 5 p.m. The first thing I noticed was that they didn't have very many items left. The young man who was behind the counter was friendly and patient. I decided to order two lemon cupcakes and two birthday cupcakes. There were only two birthday cupcakes left, so I guess I timed it right. Four cupcakes ended up costing $18, which seems to be on the expensive side. As for the cupcakes, the lemon ones were for my husband. He thought the lemon flavoring could have been more prominent. We also noticed that the cupcakes were on the oily side. On the plus side, the cake part was very light in texture. This place is basically a take out set up, as it is small. We're not sure if we would return. If we did return, it would be for a meal in the area.
