You simply just can't go wrong. I have introduced my friends to Black Dog and they LOVE IT as well. Sometimes the wait in line and for your order can be a little long, but it's so worth it. I cannot wait for July flavors!

After months and months of driving by I finally went in to try this cute little place. As you can…read moreimagine, they have tons of hot & cold coffee options. So many, it's almost overwhelming. They roast their beans onsite (you can watch the process through the glass window). The prices are on par if not slightly better than the other large coffee chains. My only "complaint" (which isn't really a complaint) is that as a first timer I wasn't familiar with their various flavors and milk options. It would be nice to have a full menu near the door so people can review the list and be ready to order at the counter. I felt a little like a deer in headlights when I was ordering and didn't know EXACTLY what I wanted. Not a bad problem to have - just a suggestion. Overall, excellent and we will be back and we'll be prepared with our order next time!

With plenty of open and spacious seating, its a great place to sit back, enough some coffee and food, and just work, read a book, or even relax. Food wise, the pastries are delicious. Not overly sweet as they may appear, but can absolutely fill a sweet craving. The coffee was quite tasty and delightful. The staff is friendly and attentive to each patron. The prices may seem higher than other coffeeshops, but that's can be expected in the heart of Fairfax. Overall, a great coffeeshop that I love to frequent when I'm in the area.

I visited River Bottom Roasters recently while looking for a new local coffee shop in the area. I…read morewas pleasantly surprised when I walked into the establishment. The high ceilings gave the shop a light and airy feel. This probably isn't the best place to study or work since the sounds of voices bounce off the walls. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered an iced strawberry fields matcha latte and a blueberry muffin. I think I was accidentally given a mixed berry muffin, but it wasn't a big deal. It was still delicious. The matcha, when I received it, was also very good and I really enjoyed it. My one gripe is that it took 25 minutes to receive my drink. While waiting, I noticed that the two individuals handling the food were rock stars. They got orders out very quickly and efficiently, and I had my muffin in less than five minutes. I also noticed the number of other patrons waiting for long periods of time. People who placed orders after I did received their coffee drinks, so I was confused. When my name was finally called, I noticed that three matcha drinks were ready at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the barista making the numerous matcha orders at the same time, but the 25-minute wait seemed quite excessive. There was a steady stream of customers, so it was busy, but not insanely busy. Again, I enjoyed everything about River Bottom Roasters except for the long wait for drinks.

If you are looking for the best locally roasted coffee with the roast date on the bag [not the best used by date, this is important!], look no further. You can ask them to bag for you something they've roasted recently and just like that, freshly roasted full beans. I have bought dozens of bags of roasted beans from Ricks - there is nothing better than these beans in the grinder first thing in the morning/afternoon/evening/night.

Perhaps a wooden tray with a palate cleanser would elevate it. However, It is not a great place to go and sit and savor because of the incredibly limited indoor seating and absence of outdoor seating.
