    Dirty chai & hot cocoa
    Terri D.

    Super cute cafe, perfect spot to just chill on winter day. Ordered hot chocolate and dirty chai. Friend enjoyed his cocoa, my dirty chai was bit too dirty (not a fan) - should have stuck with regular chai latte. Parking is almost impossible, garage is a must. Super friendly service. Overall nice spot to meet a friend.

    I like the comic book store theme that they have going on at this coffee shop. They also have specialty drinks depending on the season and I think that is well thought. The specialty drinks are pretty standard and honestly the cost (which isn't available at the board) is about 7.50 for a small is kind of overboard. I got the peppermint brownie latte which was more of a peppermint mocha. It was pretty though. Service is okay.

    A local, vibe-y, comic book coffee shop! For a weekend, the coffee shop wasn't busy at all, and seems like the perfect place to just chill. Got a classic iced vanilla latte and their beef empanada. The latte was pretty good, but coffee was bit on the lighter side, slightly more milky where the oat milk taste was a bit more apparent (at least from what I used to). For the beef empanada, you have to eat it right away, even if it means burning your mouth off, if you want that crispiness :') otherwise if you wait too long, it will become soggy Quick Note - did overhear that their wifi has been slow lately, so just a heads-up for anyone looking to do work some or be productive there! Would definitely comeback when in the area :)

    Lady Matcha (matcha latte with strawberry cold foam)

    Really cute cafe!! The servers were super nice about answering questions. On a recommendation from a friend we got matcha lattes. One had a strawberry cold foam, which was SO good. Highly recommend this place for matcha!!! Some of the best matcha we've had. We'll be back to try the coffee at some point!

    Meanwhile Coffee, located at Woodland Park Crossing in Herndon, VA, offers a variety of seasonal specialty coffees, including Peppermint Brownie Latte and Gingerbread Cookie Latte. The cozy, quirky atmosphere features comic and pop art graphics in frames, toys, plants, board games, and more, along with comfortable seating, making it an ideal spot for remote work or relaxation. The cafe also serves locally sourced pastries and features a Christmas tree at the entrance, adding a festive, inviting touch. We sampled their drinks, which were excellent--the iced caramel latte was perfect, and the matcha latte demonstrated quality. However, the banana walnut muffin was sweeter than expected, almost like chewing on sugar, though it was warmed before serving. The service was friendly, but more baristas might improve wait times, as drinks took a while to prepare.

    Great little cafe with a nerd vibe I'm all about. It was really calm since I think the area is still being built out and there's not a lot of traffic. One of the owners was pulling espresso and was super friendly. Lots of locals and regulars showed up and there was a ton of great community building. I didn't try their empanadas or baked goods but they looked good. If I were in the area this would be a great place to work from. They also do a ton of cool community-focused events. It'll be a shop added to my rotation, for sure.

    Nutty French Toast latte
    Grace W.

    Cute local coffee shop in the Herndon area! Not too busy when we went on a weekend and there's plenty of space to study and do work. I got two specialty lattes to try - (iced decaf) Nutty French Toast & (hot) Nutella latte. I would've liked more of the flavor (e.g. more French toast and more Nutella flavor) but they were not too sweet overall! I also got a beef empanada to try - the beef was well seasoned but unfortunately the crust was very soggy. I'll definitely be back to try their other non-specialty drinks and their other bakery items! The decor is comic-booked/pop themed with plenty of books and board games in the corner!

    pumpkin pie shaken espresso
    Kristi K.

    great vibes, great service, good coffee! a lot of nova cafes have gotten way too busy and crowded and this cafe was a nice change of pace. it's got interesting decor, good music playing, and overall good vibes. The pumpkin pie shaken espresso was a little too sweet for me, but i'll be back to try other things for sure!

    Strawberry rose matchas!
    Charu M.

    The drinks are amazing -- I got the strawberry rose matcha with my friend plus the inside of the shop is so cute and comic book themed which makes it a fun vibe. Plus they have games and community events that I'm looking forward to.

    Chorizo empanada, chimichurri sauce, frosted berry latte.
    Timothy B.

    Friendly, helpful staff and a cool vibe. It's a relatively new, comic-themed cafe, and it looks like their building community, not just selling coffee. I like their salted caramel matcha latte; also tried the frosted berry latte which is unique, but too sweet for me. They've got limited pastries, and also empanadas for breakfast, brewing Counter Culture Coffee, roasters based in NC.

    Been waiting for a new cafe in the area is this seems just the place to stop by! Hidden in the almost-abandoned plaza, MC is a cool, unique themes cafe specializes in custom lattes and empanadas. However, the lattes are just ok but the prices are crazy high. May just be a fun first try experience but not worth almost 8$ a latte in this economy..

    Great space for meeting up friends and working. Great tea and coffee selection and yummy empanadas

    Macchiato tasted like mud. No sizes listed on the menu. Receipt said 8 oz, my cup was maybe 8 oz and was 1/4 filled.

No wonder this location is always packed with customers! It has always been a local favorite. This location has two floors, plenty of seatings for hanging out, or just getting your work done. Parking is super easy. I tried their espresso flight menu for the first time because there are tons of unique creations that I wanted to try and I couldn't just choose just one! With the espresso flight you can choose three espresso drinks you want, including their specialties. You can choose hot/iced, but all has to be made with the same type of diary, which is not a problem for me! I ordered an Oat Latte, Dark Star (espresso, oat milk, dark chocolate & Azteca), and included one matcha drink, My Little Green Friend (matcha, oat milk, white chocolate & vanilla). They all tasted so good. Creamy, sweet, but not too sweet. And they came in three little mugs, with aesthetic latte art. I got so full (lol), but it was the best decision of the day! Can't wait to go back and try more of their creations!

I can tell it was brewed fresh with the right temps. Flavors aren't strong enough to overtake one another. Just a right balance all around. The Service: Service is great here. The staff are so friendly and attentive. They are pretty fast about getting your order out as well. The Atmosphere: Nice and small coffee shop. Not a lot of seating inside, but the vibes here are very nice. Feels very much like a "local iykyk" kind of spot. Overall, a 5/5. One definitely recommend trying Weird Brothers. All the drink options here are delicious!
