Alice J.

Inattentive service. The two staff speak amongst themselves in Spanish and ignored me. She even took the guest who walked in AFTER me. I come here often, but today is not a good day.

Dirty horchata latte
Caroline K.

Great variety of food and drinks here, I've been so impressed with my order every time. Their bubble tea is great and their coffee drinks have such great variety that most places don't offer. I also love how you can customize details of your drink. You have options of 0, 25, 50, 100% ice and sugar. This amount of customization is just so awesome Their food tastes fresh and they give great portion sizes. Highly recommend one of their cookies:) they're huge and baked fresh! All the employees are kind and hard working. There's ample seating inside. Also some grab and go snacks, drinks, and wine offered here which is so convenient right off the metro. Love this store

Great simple place with simple food at decent prices (in the deli or cafe section), as well as craft beer and wine, plus some snacks. I like how they combine a cafe and mini market under one roof. As far as food, I had the "Hangover Cure" sandwich, which had egg and ham, as well as a few other toppings. I also had a Vietnamese-style iced-coffee. Both were satisfying.

Mango matcha
Georgina W.

It's a croissant with bananas, Nutella, and bacon. You wouldn't think it would go together, but it does. I would definitely come back and have the sweet and salty croissant again. My boyfriend had the hangover cure and he really liked it as well. The only thing that I wouldn't get again is the mango Matcha. Kind of tasted like mango milk. The service is very much cafeteria, lunch lady level. You walk in and they ask what do you want? But I don't really mind.

NYC-Style B.E.C.
James H.

Pretty underrated breakfast spot in the Ballston/Virginia Square neighborhood. Someone asked me where they could get a quick breakfast within walking distance of N. Quincy St. and I felt like I should've known about this spot. I ordered the NYC - Style Bacon Egg and Cheese on a croissant which rounded out to about $9.55 with taxes. Service was very quick, although I was there about 30 minutes after opening. Pretty good-sized sandwich with a generous amount of bacon and chipotle mayo which adds a bit of flavor. The sandwich itself was delicious and I probably had room for one more. This place seems to have a pretty diverse menu so you could come at different times of the day. Also, you can purchase coffee/tea, drinks, snacks, wine, and basic housing items. Overall, this place has a lot of great stuff and is conveniently located right next to the metro.

Lox Deluxe

Excellent lox bagel sandwich, friendly staff and a cute little market. Good selection of bottled drinks.

Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea with Bubbles
Jenny G.

I feel so bad for leaving this one star review because the service is great. The food, however, is not. I've been here on two occasions and have not been able to finish my food on both. Last visit, I ordered the Loaded Avocado Toast. There was barely any avocado on the toast and it tasted like guacamole. The bacon bits were excessively dry and too salty. I decided to give the Milk Tea a try my most recent visit and ordered the Strawberry Matcha with Bubbles. The drink straight up tasted like strawberry syrup so I went back in to tell them. They were so nice and offered to make me a Matcha Milk Tea with Bubbles which tasted too powdery. Sadly, I ended up tossing both of the drinks. The bubbles were also very mushy - they seemed to have been over cooked. The cafe has a large menu that seems promising. Hopefully, their execution of the items improves.

Who knew this hidden gem was located in Arlington!!! I gotta thank yelp for the assistance as this is how I found Le Market while looking for somewhere to grab some breakfast. Very unassuming from the outside, once you get inside you will be taken back, in a good way! Similar to a convenience store on the inside, there are snacks and drinks to include beer and wine. Now the best part, they have cooked to order food as well! While everything on the menu looked delicious, decisions were made and we went with the Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Croissant and the Chicken and Waffles. The BEC was good af!! I requested my egg fried which was accommodated and when they say bacon, they mean it!! The sammie was loaded with bacon, oh and there was melted cheddar cheese too!! I think this may easily be one of the best BEC's I have had to date. The Chicken and Waffles was amazing too!! The chicken reminded me of little chicken nuggets so there was no bones. The waffle was freshly made and I almost forgot it came with scrambled eggs to that I still to this day have no idea how she stuffed them in the cup like she did, but she did!!! Powdered sugar dusted the waffle and the syrup and butter was included on the side. If you check in on yelp, you get a free La Columbe can of coffee and iykyk why this is a nice way to say thanks!! Portion sizes are so generous too so its a win win. They are practicing all safety measure as well! There is limited seating inside and some tables outside as well. I cannot rave enough about how fantastic this place is!!!

Close up of the avocado and bacon toast my friend enjoyed
Cristina D.

This is a staple of my morning routine, and I highly recommend that you give Le Cafe Market a try yourself. Good food, drinks and service here, and a varied menu featuring veggie-friendly options. Pros: - Food quality: Food here is consistently good! My friend ordered the avocado toast recently, which he definitely enjoyed. I have had a burrito egg wrap, as well as the capers and the chocolate chip cookie. All were really solid! For breakfast food without breaking the bank, the is a good spot, but what gets me really excited is the BOBA TEA! They make it really well, and my personal favorite from them is the - Price: Price here is definitely reasonable-- I can usually get a large boba tea, sandwich and sweet side for a total of $20-22. - Portion size: Portion size is solid, I have no complaints here. The size of the drinks is especially generous, and you have the option of selecting lower ice if you'd like more of the actual drink. - Delivery: I often order from this location on delivery apps, and have always had a positive experience doing so. Service is swift and accurate, and they never seem to forget any items or details of my order. Would highly recommend delivering from them or making a stop in person!

Three Whistles Coffee Shop…read more This coffee shop just reminded me why I fell in love with coffee in the first place. I had my first cup of "Joe" as a teenager while enjoying a nice family breakfast in downtown DC. I recall my Pops saying, "Leave room for coffee in that cup of sugar!" Back then, I thought, wow... that was funny. I later learned that it was hacky, a commonly used joke for heavy sugar users. Nevertheless, the taste felt electrifying. I don't recall the brand. It was definitely either Maxwell House or Folgers, but... whatever it was, it was delicious. Over the years, I began to dabble with different brands, different brews and different coffee formulas until I discovered Starbucks. It was the mid-90s when I had my first... wait for it... wait for it... "Caramel Macchiato" or Hot Heaven in a Cup, as I best can describe it. Seemingly every day for 25-plus years, I would gladly offer Starbucks a small percentage of my salary to enjoy another cup of Hot Heaven. But something happened along the way. In the early years, Starbucks was premium. They gave tremendous regard to how each cup was crafted. However, as is often the case in life, as time went on, the care and craftsmanship began to wane. It wasn't an overnight decline. It was more insidious than that. I knew something was off, but again, like many things, I continued to blindly pour into it, hoping for a rebirth, chasing that cup that tasted like the first time... Well today that happened. Not at Starbucks. I stumbled across that rebirth at Three Whistles Coffee Shop, a lovely, community-style coffee shop located on Wilson Boulevard in Arlington. I requested my order exactly as I like it, a variation to the original recipe, one that I cultivated through 25 years of trial and error. The gentleman listened closely while maintaining a courteous conversation. I watched him prepare my order when I realized, he wasn't just going through the motions, as I've grown use to experiencing at that other shop. Something felt different, yet vaguely familiar, that seemingly dated attention to craftsmanship... a precise pour into a tilted cup to create that wonderful creamy blend. And then, just when I thought his attention to detail had reached its end, he topped-off my foam with a decorative design, all while maintaining his place in our conversation. Then came the moment of truth. I took my first sip, and instantly... I'm reminded of that pearly-gates-in-a-cup feeling. The rebirth. What a caramel macchiato tastes like without stockholders' influence. Without corporate meetings. Without commercials. Without a glitchy App. Without shelves of $25 merch. Just a cup of heaven made in a community-centric shop by a barista who prefers to go by his own name, not logos on an apron. Recommendation level: Go immediately if you want a great cup of Joe. But I should warn you... After Three Whistles coffee, Starbucks may never taste quite like coffee again.

I am kicking myself for not trying three whistles sooner. I live and work close by, but I always…read moreforget about it. The food and drinks are amazing and the vibe is superb!

The ambiance is so cute, and the workers were so friendly. The place was pretty full with other professionals having coffee and getting some work done, but luckily there was still some room for me. Their fall menu just came out, so I got the toasted marshmallow iced latte, and it's definitely one of my favorite takes on a latte flavor that I've had yet. It was so good! Parking can be a little difficult since you have to find street parking or wait for a spot to open up, but it's definitely worth it. I'm so glad I decided to stumble upon this shop and stop by when I did. If I'm ever in the area again, there's no doubt I'll be stopping by again!

Outdoor seating is a bit noisy at the moment due to construction across the street. My only complaint is that $3.50 for a very small drip coffee felt a bit steep - the small felt smaller than usual.

After working for years nearby this small bodega below a Crystal City apartment building, I finally…read morewent with my eight-year-old daughter. With an impressively high Yelp rating, I was disappointed to hear the new owners say the glowing reviews are from the previous owner (though I respect the honesty). Despite that, we really enjoyed our visit. The new owners live up to the legacy. First of all, the service is excellent. An older man makes the food and who I assume is his daughter takes the orders. Both are kind. At the end, she gave my daughter a granola bar for free. The menu is a mix of Korean food and the small market in the back sells Korean products and more. It's very fun to browse and pick up some snacks and treats. My daughter loved the juicy grape fruit snacks. To eat, we ordered the Japanese curry and milk tea. Both were full of flavor and made with love. "This is my new favorite meal of all time," said my daughter. She devoured the bowl herself! There's a small parking lot in front of the cafe. It's within walking distance from the Crystal City Metro.

Who knew that there would be a cafe in Pentagon City with this option? The interior is a bit cramped with many cardboard boxes piling up. We were able to order the food at the counter and waited about 5-10 minutes before the food was ready. BRAISED PORK OVER RICE (卤肉饭) - 15.49 Lots of rice, more rice than I could finish with the amount of braised pork belly they give. The pork was very fatty, which made it tasty and juicy, but it wasn't very saucy. There were two halves of a bokchoy and half of an incredibly boiled egg, which was meh. Still, I finished all the toppings and maybe a little less than half of the rice. I was full, but $15.49 for the food was not worth it. Overall, 3.5/5 but bump it to a 4/5 since there's a scarcity of food like this in the area. They sell other comfort Asian dishes too, like coconut chicken cutlet rice and Japanese eel rice.

The restaurant was clean, bright, airy, and vibrant, with a trendy atmosphere that we absolutely loved. We started with the cornbread, which had a lovely texture, somewhere between traditional coarse cornbread and a sweeter version. It was tender, delicately baked, and served with delicious butter. I ordered the three-egg omelet, accompanied by a beautiful, fragrant, and refreshing arugula salad that I thoroughly enjoyed. The eggs tasted farm-fresh. My mate enjoyed a full breakfast of beef sausage, bacon, potatoes, over-easy eggs, and a biscuit. The coffee was hot and delicious, and my hot matcha was equally enjoyable. One small tip: specialty drinks ordered from the drink bar may take a little longer to arrive at your table, so keep that in mind. Our server was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful. We were happy to leave a 25% tip for the great service. Between the delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive staff, this was an thoroughly enjoyable breakfast. We loved it and would gladly return!

Disappointing First Visit -- Unfortunately, I Won't Be Returning…read more I was genuinely excited to finally visit Ruthie's All-Day in Arlington after hearing so much about the restaurant. Unfortunately, my first experience was disappointing, especially considering how much I was looking forward to it. We started with Harry's Hot Hushpuppies, made with shrimp and jalapeño. They arrived nice and hot, and the batter was crispy, which I appreciated. The flavor was decent, although I think a different dipping sauce would have complemented them better. Overall, they were okay. For my entrée, I ordered Ruthie's Big Plate. I specifically requested my eggs scrambled soft with cheese. Unfortunately, they arrived without the cheese and were not cooked the way I requested. The beef sausage was another disappointment. After taking one bite, I found the texture unusually soft and mushy, almost as though it hadn't been cooked thoroughly. I couldn't enjoy it. The bacon, however, was excellent! The portion was generous, and the flavor was really good. It was honestly one of the highlights of my meal. Unfortunately, the breakfast potatoes were the complete opposite. They were dry, lacked seasoning, and had very little flavor. I did enjoy the grits, which were another positive. My husband ordered the fried chicken biscuit. I tasted his chicken, and it was extremely salty. There was a sweet honey glaze that helped balance the saltiness somewhat, but the salt was still overpowering. The biscuit itself was just okay. I did speak with the manager about my experience, and I want to acknowledge that she was very apologetic and offered to have something else prepared for me. I appreciated her professionalism and willingness to make things right. However, I declined because my husband was already eating, and by the time another meal arrived, he would have been finished. I didn't want him sitting there waiting while I ate. For me, dining out is about more than just the atmosphere or a restaurant's reputation. The food should be flavorful, properly prepared, and served as requested. Unfortunately, too many items fell short during this visit. I really wanted to love Ruthie's All-Day, but based on this experience, I don't see myself returning. I hope management takes this feedback constructively because there is definitely room for improvement in the consistency, seasoning, and preparation of the food. I also want to acknowledge the manager's effort to make things right. She came back over to check on us again, and a server brought us complimentary apple donuts with cookies and cream ice cream. I must say, the cookies and cream ice cream was absolutely delicious! When I spoke with the manager again, she told me, "I didn't want you to leave dissatisfied." I genuinely appreciated her saying that and, more importantly, making the effort to turn our experience around. I even told her that the ice cream was my "happy place" because I enjoyed it that much! Although I was disappointed with several aspects of our meal, I believe in giving credit where credit is due. The manager was attentive, sincere, and genuinely concerned about our experience. Her hospitality did not erase the issues we had with the food, but it certainly made a difference in how we felt leaving the restaurant. I truly appreciate her kindness and willingness to make things right, and I felt it was only fair to acknowledge that in my review. So I changed it to 3 stars for the effort to make things better.
