Cute coffee shop in a busy plaza (with Trader Joe's). We often come here for a quick coffee, but we've tried their sandwiches too! There's plenty of seating. Some people bring their laptops and stay. Some people are questionable. But I haven't had any problems. Coffee lattes have been yummy. Their boba is just ok though. read more

I don't love this place nor do I hate it. I've visited this cafe 3x and all those times were just okay. First visit, got something very basic. Iced coffee. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of it but they were just okay. Got a sandwich that day as well. Second visit, got a matcha latte and wow... I should've known I would not like it. Barely any matcha taste and was just bland. Disappointing. Third visit, just waiting for my car to finish servicing so I came in to grab an iced americano. That was not good at all. The cafe itself is decorated very cute and I love the vibes of the place. However... I feel disappointed every visit so I'm not sure if I'd come back here again. read more

Java Loco - Falls Church - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

One of my favorite cafes close to home. I always get one of the iced signature lattes and they don't disappoint. I usually get the Irish Cream Brulee Latte or the Caramel Haze because I love the cold foam.Reasonably priced compared to getting coffee from a well known chain. Boba drinks are also fairly decent too and the tapioca topping tastes fresh. Food price seems a little pricey for breakfast. The interior inside is very cozy and well decorated with plenty of seating. I've only ever came during the mornings and there usually aren't a lot of people here. Friendly and fast service this is a spot I keep coming back to. read more

Java Loco is a serene, vibey cafe in Falls Church! I visited on a rainy day after touring properties with my siblings and was drawn to their extensive drink menu. The ambiance is a lovely aesthetic of exposed brick, whicker seats, and lots of green plants positioned all around the cafe. Very spacious, has plenty of outlets, and is quite quiet with classical music in the background. I could see this as a great spot to get some work done or catch up with friends and family! I got the large Matcha Seasalt Foam with Honey Boba - a semi-sweet tea with a creamy milk top. I enjoyed the light saltiness and thought the matcha was refreshing. It is oftentimes difficult for iced matcha to not be chunky, but Java Loco's was smooth and flavorful. The honey-soaked boba was tasty and a bit on the tougher side. With only a two person staff, the drinks take a bit longer to make if you want something more elaborate. However, they did a great job and it's evident they took their time. This boba is a bit on the pricey side, but it is worth visiting for the ambiance. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm intrigued to try their coffee and sandwiches. Overall, a fun visit to a local Falls Church spot! read more

The boba drinks here are way cheaper than anywhere else. I got the mango passion fruit smoothie which was huge and absolutely delicious. This is also a great place to study. read more

Got a Viet coffee per everyone's recommendation with a lox for breakfast. The Viet coffee was a bit on the heavier side which I'm not totally used to. The food and drink was good, but nothing to write home about. The everything bagel that the lox came on was soft, wasn't very flavorful but the cured salmon was just fine. Again, it was good but nothing special. Great ambiance and friendly staff - I always appreciate a shop that knows their manners! Kudos to management for making this a priority. Glad I swung by but don't think I will go out of my way to come here in the future. read more

Java Loco - Falls Church - Vie 20 oz. Medium Vietnamese Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

This was a great place to study, honestly one of the quieter cafes in falls church and its not super busy which is great! it had plenty of chairs to sit! the parking on the complex can be okay, you will def find parking, however, it just gets super duper busy sometimes. which is like meh! i just got the drip coffee which was how you would expect. The service was good, it was pretty fast, but i hope they reconsider refills for drip just free! read more

Great place to hangout with friends, or work. I was quite surprised how fast my food was ready! I ordered the Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich along side with Cuban coffee. Sandwich was good, nothing out of the ordinary, but the Cuban coffee stole the spotlight. I was expecting it to be bitter, but it was sweet as well. It was really pleasant to drink! read more

Smoothies tasted mostly like water. I ordered a bagel and a cheese danish and they were both microwaved so they were very hard to bite and chew. Service was ok, not great but she did her job. Very cute inside, but also extremely cold. read more

Nice place to sit and relax and great coffee. It's my favorite place to have my Toffee nut crunch latte.

Had a matcha latte - it was PIPPING hot for the first 20 minutes, but tasted pretty standard. This cafe has plenty of seating, good wifi, and light music playing. read more

I stopped by Java Loco with my friend this past Sunday morning after doing some light shopping at the Trader Joe's next door. Maybe I didn't get the right coffee drink here, but I was not a fan of the cold brew. The cold brew was burnt tasting (and the only way for this to happen is if the beans were burnt during roasting). If I stop by for coffee in the future, I'll give the Vietnamese Iced Coffee or lattes a try. I would not recommend the cold brew here unless you like super dark roasts. My friend got a ham, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich this morning that was tasty (I had a couple bites). I'm not normally a fan of ham, but this one was quite good. The egg was thick and fluffy. The sandwich was on the expensive side, but it did the job of keeping her full and happy. read more

My goodness the breakfast and other sandwiches, take out a small loan. I get it to a degree. Location, location, location. Yet I cannot justify getting their sandwiches here, as they are too much money. Coffee or a latte, those are better choices. This is what I go here for. Wonderful employees. They have some of the nicest folks around. Parking can be a challenge. Then again that's the area too. It is a trendy spot, that's quite laid back. I like to go here for the beverages. If you're in the area, or you are wealthy, a good place to relax from the hustle and bustle. read more

For my study sesh at the library tried the Vietnamese iced coffee with sea salt cream! The bubbles are very chewy and tasty, and I always love shaking my drink and watching the foam and drink mix! I asked for half sweet and it was no problem! Next time I will ask for extra ice and maybe 25/30% sweet. read more

First, please understand this rating is based on my limited experience and will certainly look forward to going back and having a broader perspective. I found the place really neat and clean - 5 star, parking is horrible with a busy trader joe's next door (probably why it's the 3rd coffee place in this location) - 1star, very cool menu with some neat sounding breakfast/sandwich options (though no food this trip for me), service was friendly and efficient - 4 stars, the lavender latte was disappointing (maybe that's on me, but not at all as good as others I have had elsewhere) - 2 stars. Let's see what the next trip provides, but it won't be during peak times because parking is stressful! read more

Great latte in town with great atmosphere in store. Service is fast and you can tell they use good coffee beans.

I really enjoyed this spot. I stopped by for an afternoon boost. I ordered the iced white mocha (with oat milk) and a coffee cake (for good measure). The establishment was clean, relatively quiet, and the staff were kind and helpful. If you're looking for a "sbux" though, this is not it. This place has it's own eclectic vibes (and prices to match). There are plenty of drink and food options, the most popular of which seems to be their Vietnamese coffee. This coffee shop is no fuss -- in and out. Several people were there on their laptops as well. Seems like a great place to unwind -- quick stop with your kids, meeting up with friends, or kicking back on your computer. read more

*Review based on Vietnamese coffee only* Went to that area looking for Peet's, so my first mistake was probably walking into this coffee shop despite it not being what I expected it to be. Second mistake was ordering the Vietnamese coffee. Save yourself the $6.50 and just make it yourself at home -- it might actually taste like a proper Viet coffee if you know what you're doing. Given how quickly it was ready, chances are this is pre-made. Taste has an ever-so-slight hint of chocolate and lacks the distinct flavor of condensed milk. It's not bad at all, but it's also not Vietnamese coffee. Service at the counter was super friendly. read more

Walking into this shop is like a breath of fresh air! There is so much natural light, it feels homey with a touch of modern, and is very inviting. They have a good sized menu for a coffee/tea shop, offering both breakfast and lunch options! I got their sausage egg and cheese on a croissant (and added tomato bc I simply felt like it) along with a caramel macchiato. I was definitely pleased! Reasonably priced and good quality food+coffee! They have plenty of tables with seats, and also have comfortable leather lounge chairs. Sadly it was not busy when I was there, so go give them some business! You won't regret it! read more

Forget to take pics but they stopped in and grabbed a strawberry l'amoure milk tea and moonlight mango tea! My son thought the strawberry milk tea was really good and my moonlight mango was outstanding. It was not too sweet and you can taste all the ingredients and mango jelly was a great addition! I would definitely stop here again when I pass through. read more

Super unhappy with my experience. Paid $15 in delivery on top of the $18 for food and it did not get to my door. No notification it was delivered (although not to me but half a block away). By the time the delivery was updated in the app my breakfast had been sitting outside for over 25 minutes. Who wants to spend $33 for melted iced coffee and a cold, stale bagel sandwich? What a letdown. read more

Stopped in for a coffee after my Trader Joe's run. I got a Caramel Macchiato small with low-fat milk. It came out as ordered although the cup felt very light. Coffee was really good. I wished I was hungry because the sandwiches sounded good- not pre-made like the chains. There were a lot of pastry selections as well. Sugars were available on the side, you didn't have to ask. Will return to try food! read more

Java Loco - Falls Church - Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

I love this little coffee shop. Extremely sad that Peets is gone, but happy that it was replaced with a nice local shop that has a lot of character. I've been in here several times and it's honestly a mix of Asian and Italian caffeinated drinks and some tasty reasonably priced sandwiches. You want a traditional latte with a croissant breakfast sandwich with really fresh eggs and sausage? Or would you rather have a thai milk bubble tea or a fruit smoothie and a random slice of cake? This place, while small, actually has quite a few drink options. It's also open for dine in. read more

Java Loco - Falls Church - Menu board-lots of options - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Hands down one of my favorite coffee shops in VA! It's located next to a Trader Joe's so that is instantly a double win for me. I came here with a few friends to celebrate a gift exchange and I was surprised by their menu. They offer different flavored lattes, sandwiches, breakfast items, pastries, smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, and bubble tea! I'm partial to bagel sandwiches and my go-to is their sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I highly recommend their pistachio latte, it's so delicious I order it every single time. The pistachio flavor is all over this drink which is why it has become my favorite hot drink item from the menu. This coffee shop is cute and cozy and plenty of parking spaces in the shopping center. The owner has a sweet soul and the staff are attentive and friendly. She recommended the lavender latte for my next visit and I can't wait to be back for it! read more

Service. Didn't even get a chance to try the coffee which based on reviews seems like I didn't miss anything. One of the cashiers literally said "we already said hi" when I looked at them. The other one barely parted her lips and looked away. All it shows it that they don't stand behind their product and can't make coffee. Just sharing in case others experience this also. read more

It was clean inside and had a very chill vibe. We stayed at an Airbnb around the area and happened to spot this cute cafe. We got a Vietnamese coffee, a mocha latte, a mango smoothie, and an iced tea. Overall, drinks were good. Would like to try some of their other drinks if we happen to stay around the area again. read more

The lavender latte with espresso was delish! The chocolate croissants were stale and difficult to swalllw. 2 bites before we tossed them

I was sad when I saw Peet's Coffee closed, but was intrigued when I saw a new coffee shop replacing it. I finally tried it today and was not disappointed. I got a coffee and a sandwich. They had alternative milk options! A lactose intolerance dream! Almond and soy milk :) JAVA CAPPUCCINO The menu said it was a dark and white mocha, so it's like a milk chocolate flavor. It was really good, not too sweet. GOUDA GOBBLER I thought the sandwiches would be like a panini, but I was wrong. It was a cold sandwich and the portion size surprised me! As much as I love how much turkey was given, it was a bit salty, so maybe add more veggies to balance it out? I found it interesting that they also served boba and from my research Ocha Tea is a stand alone boba shop too. So the owner just combined the two shops together? I believe I tried the lychee lover tea, which was delicious and fruity :) my one complaint would be baby chop up the lychee because you have to peel the plastic to reach it. It was unnecessarily messy to enjoy :/ Overall the service was nice and will be back again :) Hopefully once the pandemic is over I can study in there again like I did at Peets. read more

My sister and I always come here for boba, the service is excellent and they always give you the right amount of bubbles. They make it extremely easy to order, and their menu is very simple. They have quite a bit of flavors to choose from for your boba tea. I cant say I have tried their food but I bet its just as good as any other cafe, if not, better. Their tea is perfect, not too sweet or bitter, and not too flavorful or plain. Their boba pearls are just fine, though they're not as chewy as I usually like them but thats okay. Im giving Java Loco 4 stars because I haven't tried their food, I'll consider raising it if their food strikes me. Thanks Java. read more

This morning I went to this place and ordered iced latte with vanilla and hazelnut. The drinks at this place is delicious, the breakfast meals are also very delicious and look appetizing. The service is amazing here and the workers are very kind and energetic. I have drank here multiple times. The atmosphere here is very calming and nice. read more

Need to provide real creamer or milk to the coffee area. I ordered a regular coffee only to find POWDERED creamer. The staff is very new (obviously because they just opened up) so they seemed very confused but they were trying their best. The atmosphere/decor is nice. The coffee was good. I would give them another chance in the future once they get settled in better. read more

I enjoyed the Vietnamese iced coffee with sea salt and the Taro Smoothie! Both had good flavors that weren't too strong. It's nice to see that they have Ocha Tea there, which is really good. Will be back when I'm craving coffee or boba in the area. read more

I came in 15 minutes before closing, and the staff still managed to be very welcoming and went over the menu without even attempting to rush me. Their customer service was exceptional-just kind and patient and even introduced a new option to my drink. I ordered the coffee smoothie ( I know it's winter but I wanted something cold) and it was good. The texture was smooth, so finely blended. I didn't have chunks of ice in the drink at all. The barista added tapioca balls for me to try with the drink. The facility was clean, everyone was wearing masks and they have a shield between customers and the counter. read more

Just so so.... They don't really know how to make latte. It is more like coffee. The place is in good location

Sweet boba - the Thai milk tea is especially flavorful and well-balanced. I don't know how I drank these everyday as a teenager though because WOW ARE THEY SWEET lol. The drinks are packaged neatly and the straws are cute colors. They definitely seem stressed working here but in my experience if you come in with a wave and a smile you'll mostly get equal reception. Biscoff cookies by the counter for $1 are great to pair with your drink, and the boba is pricey (it's an add-on) but if you're going to spend $7 on Starbucks anyway, what's the harm? Nice place to sit and listen to music, write, or think. Big spot for Marshall kids after-school recognizable by their plaid pajama pants. Parking lot is treacherous if you've never been there before as a pedestrian! Look both ways! If you live in Pimmit Hills I would recommend walking home with your boba, it's a really relaxing decompress. read more
