Super cute cafe! It's located in the shopping center with a lot of other businesses above. I came here to purchase local beans to grind for my coffee and I thought that it was cool that the whole cafe was full of people working, playing cards, chit chatting or with their kids! From food to coffee and drinks, this place has it all and it's huge! It carries beans local to Vienna VA! read more

Family friendly coffee shop attached to a small church with a whole section dedicated for little kids to play around in. Tons of seating all around, including couches, hightops, and regular tables Have a great selection of drinks & a small selection of food/baked goods I came here with my fiance on a Sunday morning and the place was swamped. That said, it didn't take too too long for our food or drinks. I didn't love my latte, but my overnight oats were great read more

Cute café located in Sterling. They have a small play area for younger children -- nothing huge, but the little ones still enjoy it. That area can get pretty chaotic and packed though, and it was a bit difficult to find seating nearby. They offer a good variety of menu options. I tried the golden latte and it was sufficient -- I've definitely had better, but I didn't go in with super high expectations. It seems like a well-visited spot, and there's also a church connected to the café. Overall, it's a chill place with a relaxed vibe and clearly very popular. read more

Awesome place to get delicious coffee, decent food and hang out. It was located in an unusual non-coffee shop looking space (probably a business center) but this is huge place. Probably one of the biggest coffee spots. Service is quick read more

It was really nice of them to let me and my buddy use their meeting room for two hours for an ideation session. We ordered two 16 ounce cappuccino's and they were both phenomenal and filling. This is a hidden gem of a coffee place in Northern Virginia. read more

I checked out this coffee spot after seeing a recommendation from another Yelp user--and wow, it did not disappoint. They use Amouri coffee beans, which smell amazing. One thing I really appreciated is that they serve drinks in real mugs instead of paper cups--such a nice touch. Their food menu is pretty extensive too. I didn't get to try everything, but the Canadian bacon breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious. The space itself is open and welcoming, with plenty of seating, including cozy sofas. There's even a small meeting room you can reserve in advance and a playroom for kids, which is a great bonus. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

About a 1-1.5: I was excited to try out Ridgetop, as I am always up for trying to coffee places - Their menu is pretty extensive, which includes hot and cold drinks, baked goods, as well as breakfast and lunch options. We ordered a Chai Latte with oat milk and a White Chocolate Mocha with regular milk; both were requested to be extra hot, which it wasn't; the drinks weren't great, as they were weak, and the chai seemed to have used a generic syrup, so it tasted artificial. Note that the wait time to get your drink orders is pretty atrocious, considering there were 4+ baristas working. I believe we waited for about 30+ minutes or so, which we just didn't understand - most patrons seem to order food items when we looked around. The cafe is spacious, with some various types of seating available; decor is that rustic farmhouse look. Staff definitely should tend to the tables, as patrons are messy, and surfaces of the tables, seats, and floors were wet, had crumbs, were sticky, and/or just a hot mess. It was also a little weird, because there were some patrons that were just getting a bit too 'comfortable' by walking around barefoot - it was pretty gross. Note that this is part of Riverside Church; plenty of parking in the large lot. +30+ minutes to receive beverages +slow service +unkept seating areas +watered down/artificial-tasting-like drinks +parking available read more

This cafe is in a huge space so you'll find a seat almost anytime. Very friendly service, great espresso, lots of drink and flavor options, good food. Whole bean coffee available from a local roaster out of Vienna is good, but not my favorite. Outdoor seating available, and they've got an indoor play area to keep the little ones occupied. read more

Great location. Great coffee. Great snacks. Great vibe. Staff was courteous. Would go again. read more

I'm a huge fan of Ridgetop because of their amazing kids play area! No other coffeeshop or restaurant compares. My little one always has so much fun. Parents can sit at nearby tables to keep an eye or be in the play area (only to-go cups allowed inside). They also stock the bathrooms with everything you'd need for a diaper change - thank you! The coffee is good. Not crazy about the baked goods or food options, personally. It's a large coffee shop - if you don't want to be near kids, the other end of the coffee shop is farrr from the kids area. It's a wonderful spot to have in the community. read more

One of the best coffee shops in the area. The space is huge, service is ALWAYS on point and the coffee is amazing. My go-to coffee is a blueberry white chocolate mocha and it's the best!

Love the coffee, the environment. The space is amazing. I am a Repeat customer ! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed

A very nice local place, decent chow and coffee, good prices, reasonably fast service and looks to be a popular Saturday morning spot.

My family and I were impressed by how good the coffee was here! I've only been a couple of times but the last visit made me realize I should stop by more often - they've got some great breakfast options as well! The space is fairly large and can get quite busy during weekends and mornings but we didn't have to wait as long as we expected for our orders. There's plenty of space to chill and meet up with small groups, which made it a comfortable spot for my husband and I to meet with a friend. I recommend the toasted marshmallow latte (I think it's seasonal to the wintertime)! read more

I've been coming to this place for the last eight years years. I used to bring my sister when she was a toddler and now I bring my daughter. The service has always been great ambience has always been family friendly and welcoming regardless of background or religion. The coffee is actually my favorite. They have reclining sofas with a cozy feel. We also have tables and chairs as well. read more

Ok, it's not the best food or drink ... but they have a free indoor play area with outside viewing windows! I went on a rainy Saturday afternoon with my friend and her brood and we had the entire children's area to ourselves! Our kids were able to play around in a contained area to their heart's content while we supervised at a nearby table while drinking mediocre coffee (almost) uninterrupted for a good fifteen minutes or so. Honestly, it's pure luxury! They have sandwiches, breakfast items, and free little cheerio cups for littles. The space is large with lots of room for people to gather, gossip, and catch up. They often partner with local vendors to do craft shows as well. It's a bit far away from me, but I am so thankful to have family friendly spots like this in my life! read more

Ridgetop Coffee and Tea is located near the Sterling Target/Costco complex, so it's a great place to grab a pre-shopping drink or snack. The location is a little hard to find, but there's a sign and a lot of parking. However, the ambiance inside is really nice, so I'd recommend coming here for a cute little catch up with a friend or to be productive and study. There's plenty of cute outdoor seating + indoor high tops and couch areas - conducive to both a small intimate setting or good for a group as well. The coffee shop is under a bunch of offices so it's a great space to spend some time people watching too. If you have a friend who likes to take pictures and is looking for an instagram moment, this is a fun spot for that also! There's lots of signs and branding around + the aesthetic is very clean and simple. I asked the barista for recommendations and she was very kind and accommodating to my tastes. She asked pointed questions to make sure I got what I was looking for. All the employees behind the bar seemed pretty nice and chill as well! My sister and I came here just to try drinks, but there was a great cafe vibe + snacks to accommodate to any bakery craving. I tried a small hot latte with 2 pumps of marshmallow and 1 pumps of vanilla and my sister tried a hot chocolate with 1 pump of gingerbread. Mine tasted the right amount of sweet and the notes of marshmallow were evident through the drink. The coffee blend itself was the perfect strength and not too bitter for my taste. My sister's drink tasted like honey and the gingerbread wasn't really prominent in the hot chocolate. Wasn't really worth the price but I had a fun time taking pictures of my latte. The prices here are pretty expensive for the area, but the variety of choice and environment make up for it. Overall, I would come back again - the diversity of food choice was great, the people were nice, and the aesthetic was rustic-chic! read more

I was in the area on Labor Day and was happy to find a coffee shop open on a holiday. Ridgetop offers indoor and outdoor seating. Their indoor space is huge and ceilings are tall which is really cool. I ordered a small hot latte and a breakfast sandwich on a croissant. The guy at the register came off very "fake polite" and very condescending. The employees who prepared the latte and my sandwich seemed sincerely polite though. The latte was alright, but nothing to write home about. And the sandwich was whatever, especially once I glanced at my receipt and realized I was charged $2 extra for the dry, non-flaky croissant. And I wasn't even told it would be $2 extra for the croissant. It was quite a meh experience for me. Not terrible, but not great either. read more

This is a lovely coffee shop in Sterling! There needs to be more coffee shops like these (speaking from a mom perspective ) there is plenty of spacing inside the coffee shop, and the bonus is that there is a back play area for little kids and toddlers! There is a baby gate and clear glass that separates the kids area, so it doesn't cause too much noise for other customers. There is also seating right next to the kids play area, so parents can enjoy their meal. For those without kids, there is plenty of seating away from the kids area and games to play. In terms of drinks and food, the coffee and food is pretty good. There are a variety of breakfast items like overnight oats, yogurt, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. And of course there are a variety of coffee and tea items. Staffing is great and there is plenty of parking. Pricing is comprobable to northern VA coffee prices. Highly recommend and plan to visit again! read more

Cute Atmosphere, but Slow Service This neighborhood coffee shop is adorable--warm lighting, comfy seating, and a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. That said, if you're in a hurry, this might not be the best place. Orders tend to take longer than expected, even when it's not super busy. While it seems that the staff cares about quality (for coffee, at least), the wait times can be frustrating, especially if you're just grabbing a quick coffee to go. At my most recent visit, I ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich & a latte. While my sandwich came out within a reasonable time, I waited an additional 10 mins for my latte. 25 mins from order placed to ready for 1 latte is excessive and unfortunately, the lack of timeliness would keep me from coming back. Back to the bagel-- the bacon was completely undercooked and floppy. Forego adding bacon for an up charge, as it isn't worth it and appeared inedible. If you have the time to relax and enjoy the ambiance, it's a great little spot. Just don't expect a fast turnaround on your order! read more

The cafe itself is nice and quaint. The playroom is a plus! It gets too crowded quickly. Lots of parents don't pay attention to their kids. However, very disappointed in the mommy and me tea and it was not worth it. Very misleading, gross, tiny ridiculous portions, and way overpriced. There were 2 sandwiches, 4 scones, 3 store bought generic baby cupcakes, 2 macaroons, and a couple mini cookies to share between 5 people! No refills. No water. 2 cups of tea each. It was backed by the church people and not the cafe, although it was listed on the cafe's website. Maybe worth $5 a person and not $30!!! What a scam. read more

YES to all the things about this place. You tell me there's a kids' area and I AM THERE. The kids' area was clean and gives montessori vibes. This cafe is located and connected to a church. The staff are super friendly and take pride in the food and drinks they offer. The restrooms were clean and the overall space was clean and well-maintained. Get their chicken salad sandwich and their pesto grilled cheese. You won't get disappointed! I also like how they support small businesses by selling their products also. Hihgly recommend this place for a mommy and me date. read more

Overall, I do enjoy Ridgetop. The staff is always polite, the coffee is hot and fresh, and the food is pretty okay. In regard to seating, it's very first come, first serve. Fine. What gets me is how many times I've gone and the tables or chairs aren't wiped. Many Mom's have their hangout time there and the kids play, which is fine, but they often leave messes behind. That's not so fine. If I meet a friend there, the environment is quiet enough to have a chat, but noisy enough to not be heard by other people. Overall, it's a really wonderful spot. I just wish they were a little more on top of cleaning tables up. read more

This is a large coffee shop near Sterling that has a lot going on. There is a lot of space and they have meeting rooms and different areas for hamming out and quick bites. They do offer food as well as snacks and they drink menu has a lot of options. The vibe is nice with soft music, some couches and plenty of seating. We had our usual lattes and I like that they offer both porcelain cups as well as paper. The drink was very good. The flavor was smooth and tasty. The milk was slightly over textured and more cappuccino than latte and was quite foamy. The barista tried to do some latte art but it was very blurred due to the foamy quality of the milk. Overall, this is a nice place with a lot to offer and good coffee. Recommend. read more

I came here twice on business for meetings with associates. Best coffee spot anywhere for miles, in my opinion. Open and spacious. Lots of light and seating--hightop tables, regular tables, sofa and chair seating--just about anything you prefer. Clean restrooms. Great service with a smile, too. As for the coffee, I loved the cold brew that I ordered with an extra shot of espresso both times I was here. The banana bread was really good, too. Even grabbed a grilled Havarti cheese with pesto on sourdough on the way out on my last visit, and it was very tasty. Wouldn't hesitate to come back here anytime I'm in the area. read more

The coffee is good, but the service is quite poor. More than half the time that I come here and order a brewed coffee, they dont have enough ready to fill my cup. They offer the dark roast (hello, i ordered the medium roast and not the dark because I want a medium roast...) or to wait for a new pot. I'm not sure why they haven't figured out the concept of backup pots yet but this is a consistent and super annoying issue. read more

Ambiance: very casual, this place has a cafe bakery vibe. One of the best things about this place is they have a dedicated play area for kids. This place is on the louder side. Service is quite fast, the place was packed at noon on a Sunday. Food: We ordered a black coffee, banana nut bread and a slice of cheesecake Black coffee is decent. Banana nut bread is dry and lacked the flavor. Cheesecake has notes of strawberry and at best is okay compared to the banana nut bread. I will go back to try their tea and other food options. This is a great place to sit with a book. read more

Love the ambiance, very family friendly with a lot of spaces for kids but also work friendly with some office space and great wifi. They do get pretty busy but it's a pretty spacious coffee shop so you should still be able to find a spot to sit. Love their seasonal drink options, they can get pretty creative. I do think their drinks taste better than their food but the homemade poptart in the pastry case is a must try! The staff is also always super friendly. read more

Mixed feeling here....beautiful place, large, plenty of nooks and crannies to sit and enjoy your coffee. Nice couches, large comfy chairs, tables and chairs, something for everyone. Bright, plenty of windows, nice background music at decent volume level. So, I go to order a standard tea, English Breakfast, they don't have, only decaf version. I settle on a standard Earl Grey. For here, in a mug, with almond milk. You can add your own "regular milk", but almond milk they have to do. Also ordered a blueberry muffin. Called my name 5 minutes later, tea in a "to go" container, sit down, no almond milk. Went and got some, tea was okay, muffin was really good. read more

Note to customers this was my first and maybe last time. The if you order regular drip coffee it's extremely hot and they fill it to the top so if you open your to go cup be careful I spilled coffee on my thumb but the guy at the counter was too busy chatting someone else up to notice or offer assistance. I ended up having to ask for a bag of ice. Very disappointed haven't even tried the coffee yet because well...while the facility was nice with plenty of space my customer experience left a lot to be desired. I let the coffee sit for an hour and honestly it was ok, wouldn't call it great but not terrible either. Again, I had high hopes as this place is in the building where my dentist is and it always seems busy. But there is a lot of room for improvement based on my experience this morning. read more

Man honestly I give up on this place. I thought maayyybe I could finally get an accurate order here that didn't take a super long time if I ordered way in advance online. WRONG. I came up to get my drink 16 minutes after placing the order. They had no idea I'd even placed an order. The lady tells me "oh just so you know our system takes 20 minutes before we even get the ticket for an online order." WHAT?! Never heard of this anywhere before in my life. This place just remains straight ate up. I had come in the back door because I have an access code due to other business in the building. Regular customers were trying to get in the front door and knocking (place had been open a while). The manager was like "oh, did we not unlock the doors this morning?" Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. TL;DR this is the story of how it took 25 FULL MINUTES to get a POUR OVER. read more

Did not eat here but definitely planning on coming back! Supper kids friendly, family friendly, great place for moms to socialize and kids to run off all their energy. My daughter loved it and cried when it was time to leave. The coffee options are large and can create anything you'd like but they also offer a great seasonal menu as well. read more

Me and my wife were in the area and I decided to look for a coffee shop we have never visited. I have to say that this is a great place. When you walk in your going to be overwhelmed by the size of the shop. This place has a large abundance of seating with electrical outlets and Wi-Fi. It's the perfect place to get some work done. We only tried the Crumb Cake with was really good when dipped in coffee but by itself would be a little dry. The service here was nice and gives the homey feel most of us want when going to a coffee shop. The best part is this place also has a kids area with a glass wall if you have kids. This is a place you must visit everything was amazing read more

I actually went to this place for a Faith Based Open Mic night... it was, as my daughter said, kind of a hippy thing to do. LOL It didn't feel too hippy. But what was really hip was this place! LOVE. I no longer have littles, but if I did - wow. It's a great place to meet a friend for coffee that offers an indoor play area for the littles (and free cheerios too). The place is large with a variety of seating - tables, couches, etc. The drink options are plentiful. The place is SO CUTE. My tea was yum. And the vibe is fantastic. Also, I fell in love when the manager, Eduardo, said their goal was to have a comfortable space for the community to gather. Swoon! What a wonderful mission. And I notice they have community dinners... donations accepted, but not expected. It's FREE!?!?! Who does that? I'm going to have to check it out. I promise I will be back to this newly discovered gem. read more

We were looking for a new coffee spot and came across Ridgetop so we decided to try it out. We were not disappointed! Huge space with lots of tables and seating available, plus a large coffee menu and breakfast and lunch menus as well. We came Saturday morning and it was pretty busy. There was a line to order but it went by quickly. We ordered an iced marshmallow latte, caramel latte and a chocolate chip cookie. We had our food and drinks at the coffee shop and got our drinks in mugs which I always love. Our drinks were delicious and the cookie was amazing! Really warm and tasted fresh and homemade. It was a great quick stop to make, and also a good spot to enjoy some breakfast or lunch too. read more

BLUF: OK food. Great latte but kind of expensive: $8.06 Coffee (4/5): I got the a latte with oat milk and lavender syrup. It was really good and I'd definitely get it again. It had the perfect balance of flavor and had a creamy consistency. My only issue was that it was $8.06 for a 16oz. I feel like this is a bit pricey for a medium latte... it's just milk and coffee... Service (3/5): Service was fast on the coffee, but not on food. My friend ordered a spinach & cheese stuffed croissant and it took about 15 mins to get it. We assumed it was frozen and thrown into a microwave, so we weren't expecting 15 mins for that. If it's made on the spot, then 15 mins makes sense, but if it was... those should be prepped ahead of time. Ambiance (3/5): The place is a bit odd. When you walk in, there's a church on your left and lots of seating everywhere else. It's very open so the sound travels, so keep your personal convos outside... It felt a bit crowded at the counter with everything cramped into that one area. The chalkboard menus were cute. They also have bagged ground coffee for people to take for their gardens instead of throwing them out; just be careful on which plants you put the grounds in... not all plants like it! read more

Better than chains, but not my favorite coffee. Food and drink: 2.5/5. Turkey and cheese croissant: 3/5. Very buttery with much, much less filling than I expected. Avocado toast: 3/5. I like the tomato + sprout topping, but this is a smaller portion than I expected. Cappuccino: 3/5. The drink was very milk-forward, and I could barely taste the coffee. Ethiopian roast pour over: 4/5. Service and atmosphere: 4/5. The area is spacious and bright, and there's ample seating. I love that there are tables near a play area for kids. Service is speedy for how popular the cafe is for takeout. read more
