    Solid coffee shop in Q-Town. I have not tried their food yet. Bobba tea!!! They have it! All kinds! I tried the Thai Tea that was made with oatmilk (stomach can't do regular milk) and them blended like an iced drink! With Boba too! DELICIOUS!! Their regular thai tea is great as well. My wife likes their Iced Mocha latte. She prefers her coffee light on the coffee taste and heavy on the melted ice cream. This place nails it! Today I tried an iced mocha latte with oatmilk and added boba. Wjy haven't I tried that before?!? Check it out if you want something different on base than Starbucks or Dunkin! Worth it for sure!

    Chicken banh mi

    When I must be on base, I love to try new dining options, so that's how I ended up with takeaway from Merge Cafe. I think it used to have a different name but same concept. I perused thé menu before arriving and decided I'd go with the chicken banh mi. While I didn't place my order in advanced, when I walked in around 11am on a weekday, it was already pretty crowded, but with no wait to order. The staff was really friendly and I sat at a table (high top) until my food was ready. I was really curious about the quality vs. Price point (which was less than $8) and was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients were fresh, the bread was fresh baked, and the spice level due to the jalapeños and spicy mayonnaise was generous. The space is small so I recommend ordering takeout. I'm happy I tried Merge and can add it to my rotation for local lunch.

    *Disclaimer: This cafe is on the marine base, Quantico. If you don't have a military/base ID, you can't get to it.* Just so you know, on Yelp this place is called "Cafe Banh" but if you're looking for it on the street, it's labeled "Merge." Therefore, if you see "Merge," you're in the right place. Inside, you'll notice that the area is very small and mostly cramped. However, there are about 18 chairs that one can comfortably sit in to relax or study while enjoying a beverage and/or meal. With how crowded the establishment can be mixed with its size, the internal temperature of the place can become a little hot. From boba and coffee to sandwiches and treats, this place has more than just mocha chocha coffee goodness. Even though we did not order any food, I saw plenty of it around me to know that it would be a good choice. I saw tasty-looking pastries and sandwiches floating in and out of the hands of many patrons as they scarfed it all down. We had already eaten; therefore, my wife and I only ordered coffee. My wife had a toasted marshmallow latte and I enjoyed a salted caramel latte. Both were completely filled to the top with foam and everything. My wife, the coffee connoisseur in our family, says that's a big deal for those who enjoy these sweet caffeinated treats as she does. Both coffees were just ok. Each had the slightest hint of burnt, bitter coffee as an aftertaste. Next time, we'd both get something different as a second chance. Lastly, the staff is very nice and they are helpful with recommendations. The bathroom is for public use and is all the way in the back. It's not a bad bathroom, clean and neat, but it contains a door that leads directly outside, which makes it feel kind of sketch. Honestly, it's not a terrible place. I'd like to try their lunch to get a better, more well-rounded feel for the entire place. If you're a Starbucks-a-holic, you will not like it. If you're up for trying a new coffee place, this might be for you. Enjoy.

    Merge is a simple small cafe with a large menu! Very pleasant place to study, has a calm vibe! I usually stick to the regular iced caramel macchiato and bagel however I highly recommend their Banh Mi sandwich with bulgogi, super rich in flavor! Rachel is amazing at running the place, super sweet and friendly!

    Cafe Banh is a small little cafe in Q town. I didn't get a good look at the menu, but I know they have banh mi's and boba. Their boba is pretty sweet. Both times I've been, the boba has been sweeter than average with no option to change the sugar level. The service is relatively quick, you order at the counter and they'll call your name when your order's ready.

    Chicken banh mi

    Came in for a late lunch and ordered a chicken banh mi. I have eaten plenty of banh mi in my life, so I have a good bench mark to compare. To me, this sandwich is too Americanized, it tasted as though i was eating cole slaw or sauerkraut instead of carrots and daikon. Cucumbers were shaved thin, I believe there were daikon but it was hard to tell with all the Cole slaw or sauerkraut in it. Overall it's tasty and different but if you're looking for an authentic viet sub, this isn't it. They also charge an arm and a leg for a sub, 2 subs cost me $15ish, holy crap. If it was a tasty sub, i wouldn't mind paying that much, but this wasn't the case.

    Green Tea Bubble Tea. Delicious!

    Waiting for a friend in Q Town. Decided to give this place a try while waiting. Since I already ate a late lunch I ordered a Green Tea Bubble Tea (w/tapioca). A short wait later I had exactly what I ordered. It reminded me of my time in Okinawa and drinking bubble tea. Very good and I recommend giving this place a try. I'll try to return for a coffee.

    Vanilla latte Boba with a shot of espresso!

    I'm at Quantico often for work. I always go to the same spot for lunch. My Co worker talked me in to trying something different. They had their yelp sticker on the window when we pulled up so I said why not! I saw a lot of reviews that said their Bahn MI sandwiches are not authentic. So I'll say that I have never gone to Vietnam so technically I've never had an authentic Bahn MI. The closest I think I've had was a spot an old co-worker took me to in Annandale. He was Vietnamese and his family knew the owner. For me,Bahn MI Cafe sandwiches were just as good as this place. The other time I've had one was from a food truck. I did try the Bulgogi beef Bahn MI, I guess that in itself isn't traditional. But flavor wise it was GOOD! I exhaled my sandwich. I also tried a Boba. I got the vanilla latte with a shot of espresso. It was good, only downside was the big balls of tapioca. I could've passed on that. I didn't try them (because I'm working on my summer body lol) but the donuts looked delicious. The place was clean, the staff was friendly & I will definitely be back.

    I flew in from Texas to Washington and am staying at the Quantico Inn. The first thing I did when I got here was look for a place to eat. I saw the 5 star reviews and I needed coffee in my blood so I desired to go. All Cafes should have a few things Coffee Wifi Relaxing atmosphere A very friendly staff Good and proportionable food This is one of the best cafes I have been to. I ordered the Specialty sandwich Bahnmi Pork and it had really good flavor to it. And a Green tea Boba tea(bubble tea) on the east coast. The slush was great. But the tapioca pearls in this one was little chewy. Also a ice coffee. Better than Starbucks.

    They do not have professional coffee machines. Cool to be in Quantico but latte is not good. Ham sub and tea just ok. Small town is cooler than this place to eat and drinks.

    I have been wanting to try this place on the recommendation of friends for a while, and finally did…read moretoday! I am so glad I did! I ordered the French Toast plate. It came with two slices of French toast with just the right touch of spices, home fries, and homemade sausage patties (way better than the greasy commercial ones!). I also ordered a plain latte, which was excellent. No notes. My mom (who is 82 and VERY particular) ordered the "Uncle Richard" plate that came with two eggs, choice of meat (ham), home fries, and choice of pancakes or French toast (she chose pancakes). She also reported everything was delicious. ("Although I would rather have hash browns." Sigh. It's always something, ain't it?) She also ordered plain coffee. For someone who does not like to deviate from DD Keurig coffee, she thought the coffee was "Very good!" Widewater Grille gets its Cuban beans directly from Key West. Mom also reported the Women's Restroom was very nice. So there's that for your consideration. We will definitely be going back. Mom (who hates leaving the house these days) even called a friend on the way home and said the three of us need to go together soon. THAT is a better rating than Michelin could even dream of giving.

    What a fantastic surprise!…read more My fiancé and I were in town visiting friends and originally planned to go to Waffle House for breakfast, but the wait was crazy. My brother, who lives in the Stafford area and is a serious foodie, recommended Widewater Grill. Honestly, it's the kind of place you could easily drive right past without realizing what you're missing. We are so glad we stopped. I had Uncle Richard's Breakfast with eggs, green peppers and onions, bacon, home-fried potatoes, and French toast. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked exactly right. The home fries tasted truly homemade, which is harder to find than you'd think. The coffee was excellent, served in a real mug, and I loved being able to refill it myself. My fiancé ordered the 12-ounce strip steak cooked medium, and he hasn't stopped talking about it. He said it was cooked perfectly, which is something even many chain restaurants struggle to get right. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The service was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant has that local, family-run feel that immediately makes you comfortable. As a retired Marine family, we also appreciated the Marine Corps traditions and military pride displayed throughout the restaurant. Great food, great service, great conversation, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!

    Loved this spot! It sits on the corner of Washington Avenue in La Plata, around the corner from the…read moreRosewick Shopping Center. Limited, but ample parking. Appeared accessible to get in with wheelchair use but may have some challenges navigating inside as it's set up like a house inside and there are plenty of tables packed in. I called to see if we could add our name to the waitlist, but they were only taking walk ins. Once we arrived, we added our name and waited about 5-10 minutes before we were seated. The menu is quite simple, but includes breakfast, lunch, appetizers, sweet and savory crepes. I ordered the chicken breast with potatoes and scrambled eggs. It also came with a biscuit. The portion size was good and I was super excited about the food because it was home cooked. As a person with special dietary needs this was the perfect place to come and enjoy a home cooked breakfast that wasn't full of salt. The eggs were real eggs and scrambled perfectly, the potatoes appeared fresh cut (did not come salted, I added my own), chicken breast cutlet with a crispy breading and a gravy or sauce on top. My food was served HOT!!!! Each table also had sea salt/pepper grinders. I ordered a Sunrise mocktail which was also very good. I enjoyed my meal and left stuffed! Looking forward to coming back again.

Here's what I didn't like about Number one see my picture, they served me the platter with a hair on it. I don't send food back but honestly that's not a very good first impression. Tells me a lot about the cleanliness of the place and their attention to detail Number two I really like pork sausage links which they don't have they have patties but not links. They do have salmon cakes which are very pricey and from the way the waitress described don't seem to be quite filling so I didn't order them. It would have been nice to see that on the menu as a side option but I didn't ask the waitress about it Number three. They charge an extra fee if you use a credit card. Plenty of off-street parking. It's in a nice location. Honestly I found this a little bit disappointing because I usually like supporting local restaurants as opposed to chains. I think I would have gotten a better meal had I gone to cracker barrel Price is okay give him the quality and quantity of food Overall I'm not too impressed with this place
