Such a cozy little coffee shop with simple interior decor with a modern twist. Seating is pretty limited as it's a small café, but they also have outdoor seating with cute little tables! Love how they had fresh flowers in small vases all throughout the café for nice pops of vibrant hues. I ordered the iced vanilla latte, and it was more on the milkier side. I didn't really taste the espresso until a few sips in, it was pretty faint, but overall a pretty good latte. The iced chai was overly milky, with barely any hints of the usual spice notes. The orange blossom latte was surprisingly very good! The orange blossom flavor didn't overpower the espresso notes, and it was very smooth, nicely balanced, and perfectly bold. read more

This is a cute cafe, with a nice patio and lots of plants all around. The cafe was pretty full around 1pm. I stopped by here to grab a matcha on my lunch break, and was honestly a bit underwhelmed. I got a vanilla matcha latte with oat milk for about $8, but all I really tasted was vanilla. I would come back to try the coffee and bites, but would rather make my own matcha at home. read more

Simona Cafe - Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Great latte! Perfect amounts of quality espresso and homemade flavoring! I had the vanilla latte w/half oat, half whole milk! Perfect levels of foam! Taste was pure silky awesome! The sandwich - prosciutto, soft delectable brie, a tasty sweet homemade fig spread and an add-on of a tiny bit of pickled purple onion on perfectly crisped focaccia bread squares! I had to eat every last bit of it! It was GOOD and satisfying but also light and fresh and healthy tasting. It was the fig spread and cheese for me! And the gentleman who took my order was patient, cooperative, cordial, and nicely professional. He made sure he got my little tweaks right and put my order in perfectly! The cook fulfilled it just as perfectly! I will definitely visit again! The prices are very reasonable! Best of all, the cuisine is unique, appealing, and delicious! The lattes are AWESOME! read more

Such a cute spot! I got an iced coffee and I added the housemade honey lavender syrup. It's delicious and the syrup really tastes fresh. I was also able to grab their last butter croissant. The manager mentioned he will be releasing the fall syrups soon as well, can't wait for those! It was a great spot and I'm glad I can add this to local coffee shops to come back to. There's a good amount of seating both inside and outside so I may even come back with my laptop! read more

Thanks to a Yelp elite experience I was introduced to the place I don't frequent Arlington much because traffic and parking. But I figured why not. Glad I decided to take the venture on a weekend although myself and the other yuppies of nova had the same idea. It's fine that just means that this place has enough charm to attract the locals. Huge fan that they have seasonal offerings. Currently there a pumpkin brown sugar latte, ginger Roobios tea latte. Matcha ginger tea latte and a chaidar should've gotten cause I love chai and cider. Anywho rolled in at about 10:30ish. Swamped this place but you know what they say if there is a buzz this place must be the joint. Baristas seem on point the drinks were quick and food was pretty quick also. Got a free 12pz Drip courtesy of Yelp and 15% other items for being a Yelp elite but to be honesty the items I got would've a been what I normally would order at their typical price point. The lemon lavender scone. Seriously the zing of lemon and the floral was of lavender. Butter crumb and nice crisp bits on the exterior. Just lovely. The Drip coffee was piping hot. Either the acidity of a drip. I also got a Ginger Roobios Tea latte iced which was super refreshing with the finer on the back end most don't like the burning of ginger so it's mild. I also had to get a savory item so I got the prosciutto and Brie. I'm a fan of this rustic baguette a good chew. Simple ingredient sandwich but well executed. Overall so glad Yelp dragged me out to these parts brings me back to a time my best friend and I would seek out local/neighborhood coffee place. It has such a chill environment. My only gripe is that the parking is so limited. But what's happens when you're on the corner of the street. read more

Cute and danity shop at the end of a busy street and neighborhood entrance. Luckily i came in the afternoon, I can totally see this being a hassle in the morning. I would maybe suggest carpooling as there is not very much parking around. Since i did come at around almost 6pm, i was able to grab a spot right in front. The menu was your typical coffee shop menu, right when you walk in it's aroma from the coffee beans definitely lures you in. I love the smell of coffee, almost enough that i want to smell like it all day haha. I was a little sad as i had cash to use and it was all cashless, i need to remember that from now on most businesses are moving away from cash. Forgot my card at home, whoops. However they accept cash tips. Wanted to try the strawberry matcha, but I guess I'll have to come back for that another time. The shop can probably hold about 10 people sitting max, and then it's in and out. They have a cute little patio in the front with some adorable decor. The drip coffee was ok, I asked to add oatmilk and a flavor. The barista told me they only had vanilla, kind of sad, but I took it. I did appreciate the smoothness of the coffee, which it was a little more robust. This is a great location if you live in the neighborhood and can walk or work around the area. It was super ugly anf rainy today so always prepare yourself for the weather! read more

I was looking for a good coffee spot in Arlington. I live in Alexandria and we have several places that I really like. As I was meeting a friend who lives in Ballston, I wanted to try something new in a new location. Simona Cafe truly was everything that I could have asked for. It was a beautiful day and I was lucky to score a table outside. The tables ad chairs are comfortable and you can sit for several hours without feeling like you need to get up. I actually didn't go inside, my friend ordered and picked up. The outside has a more protected area with a roof and the area we sat in which had umbrellas. We ordered cold brew and cappuccino. The coffee was excellent. I watched other people enjoy several dishes including the Franklin sandwich and the oatmeal. Though I didn't eat either of them, people said that the food was excellent. Looking at the menu, there's lots of comfort food and I'm going to come back to enjoy more coffee and a breakfast or lunch. Simona is clearly a neighborhood location. There were lots of families with young children coming in and out along with small and larger groups of friends and couples. Parking on the weekend is very easy, but it looks like you have to pay for the on street parking during the week. This is a real gem. read more

Saturday tradition is going to Simona. My favorite coffee shop!! Even my dog loves it and sprints towards it when he knows we're going. Espresso is the best around and the breakfast sandwiches and pastries are great as well. read more

Food took a long time to come out and they brought plates out at different times so by the time my friends food came out mine was cold from waiting for hers to come out. The matcha was not very matcha-y and their hot chocolate is nothing special. Their sandwiches lacked flavor and had nothing special to them. It's a cute ambiance with the outdoor seating but their wifi didn't work and there isn't much seating availability so be sure to grab a seat right when you see one! Will not be returning here. read more

Adorable cafe tucked away just off Wilson Blvd between Clarendon and Court House - the type of spot that area has really needed.

I've been on the hunt for good matcha in Rosslyn, and I'm so glad I discovered Simona. Their matcha latte was balanced--not too strong--and the addition of vanilla was a great touch. The ambiance inside is cozy, and it seems like a great spot to work from. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, I really enjoyed my latte overall. read more

I wish I had tried Simona sooner as it's quickly become my favorite local coffee shop and cafe in the neighborhood! A dog friendly (and people watching heaven) patio is set up for all seasons and their interior has a great setup for any solo workers looking to read or retreat from the buzzy outdoors. Their food and pastries are all so fresh and the staff seem to be like family - always so kind and welcoming. Their iced dirty chai is my favorite and an easy thing to get wrong IMO. Im impressed with Simona's chameleon abilities to be coffee shop by the morning and wine bar by the evening- or a little bit of both especially if you're Sober curious and want fun non alcoholic options while meeting a friend for a drink after work. read more

Great little neighborhood coffee shop with great coffee/tea drinks! They have the usual drinks and offers seasonal flavors. I never see it anywhere but they have rooibos latte! These were all over cafes in Cape Town and I was so happy to see they have it on the menu. They also serve beer, wine and mimosas. HH from 3pm to close. They also offer pastries and light bites Huge plus that they are very dog friendly! The owner has no issue if you take your pup inside if you are pick up your order. Pups can stay in the covered patio outside. They love pups so much they have free homemade treats for them inside. read more

Recently ordered to-go from this cute place in the Clarendon neighborhood and found their sandwiches to be really tasty. I have had their coffee previously and thought it was very good. It is quite small so this in my opinion would definitely not be the place to hang out with a big group or do some quiet work as it can get quite packed and busy, however, still a nice spot to grab a bite and coffee. read more

I love this cafe so much! My friend and I wanted to find a cute coffee shop to work from and Simona was awesome :) The service was awesome and everyone was very friendly! I am obsessed with their lemon and blueberry scone and highly recommend it. My friend got the Franklin sandwich which she highly recommends - the focaccia was house-made which was yummy and the eggs were made perfect & overall the sandwich was so delicious. She also got an oatmilk latte which was yummy - a classic if you will :) Just a note for if you're trying to work here, you can only connect to their internet for 2 hours on a weekday, and just 1 hour on the weekend - so just keep that in mind if you're trying to work here. They have a good amount of outdoor seating, so it would be a great option on a sunny day, and there is some seating indoor too but it's pretty limited. They have HH from 3pm-6pm Monday to Friday, and I will definitely come back again for a happy hour :) read more

Simona Cafe offers a coffee, wine, and a food menu. The cafe itself is inviting, with a handful of seating, both in and outside, and it's very well-decorated with shelves of coffee beans as well as reused bottles displaying simple floral arrangements! Definitely a place where you can catch up on doing some work or having a mini get-together. When I was there, the cafe was starting to get busy, with locals grabbing their beverages to go as well as a small group meeting for breakfast and coffee outdoors. I wanted to try one of their breakfast items, so I decided to order the Avocado Toast, which was prepared with smashed avocado, a smoky red pepper salsa, pickled red onions, and arugula on an open-faced focaccia toast. Unfortunately, this was just not that great, even though it was made-to-order; the amount of avocado used was very minimal, as it was a very light shmear; while the focaccia toast was okay, the red pepper salsa didn't complement the other ingredients well and left an off taste in our mouths. I am thinking of trying out the Wilson the next time! Note that do bake pastries in-house, and they're not available until about half an hour or so after opening. Staff were super friendly, kind, and welcoming! There are limited metered street parking in the area. +friendly service! +indoor and patio seating available +plenty of metered street parking read more

A hidden gem in Arlington. This chic little cafe will make you smile when you walk in. Love their interior decor and the menu wall.

My favorite is their house drip coffee, but other drinks are amazing too :) read more

I had a really good experience at Simon's Cafe! The customer service was super friendly. I ordered a macchiato & I'd say it was pretty good. The only downside were that seating was a bit limited. Almost every seat had been taken so I couldn't sit where I wanted to sit. I had to go sit at the chairs outside & the WiFi took a long time to connect than I would like it to have been. Not the worst thing ever, but since a lot of people come to cafes to study or work, I just thought it was important for the people wondering. Overall, it's a cozy spot with great drinks and great staff. read more

Really loved the ambiance of Simona! The inside is small, yet cozy, but I really loved the enclosed heated patio! It's very comfortable and the perfect space to catch up with friends while sipping on coffee. The Winter Seasonal lattes were very delicious!! The Gingerbread latte had a more bitter taste than the Toasted Pecan Brown Sugar which was a lot sweeter, but both were very yummy and big! The latte art was also super pretty! The Wilson sandwich (add prosciutto & avocado) was on their house-made focaccia bread and we loved it! The Fancy Grilled cheese (add chorizo) was also on the focaccia and had a great blend of cheeses! Both sandwiches were large, hearty, and toasted! The Chocolate Orange scone was a delicious treat, and I enjoyed the Cinnamon Currant as well! All workers/managers were extremely pleasant as well!! read more

I had a good experience at Simona for the first time. This is the quintessential destination for a quaint coffee and chill. Whether you need to get some work done, read a book, or people watch on the streets of Clarendon, this place can fit all your needs. The staff was well trained, and seemed to treat everyone with respect and kindness. It felt like a place that would draw you back because of how comfortable it was inside and out. The pumpkin coffee wasn't my favorite, the flavors weren't hitting home the way I was expecting. Nonetheless, very enjoyable outside on a nice fall day. Next time I'd switch it up with one of the other house drip blends. Paired well with the sandwich that was light and delicate. I would've loved a bit more prosciutto to fill out the sandwich in comparison to the thick baguette. Some other delicious looking sandwiches on the menu I would try as well. I would like to come back and try some of the other coffees and maybe some breakfast. Give this place a try! read more

Tiny coffee shop with delicious coffee and pastry Have hot food also, but I haven't gotten the chance to try it yet Only a few seats inside, but a bunch of outside seating. Since the place is so small it is surprising that they allow people to be on their laptops, and when I came here with my GF we therefore struggled to find somewhere to sit. I have only gotten their iced vanilla latte, but it is one of my favorite in NOVA (and my definitive favorite in Arlington). My only complaint is that they use tiny ice cubes in it, and therefore I end up accidentally drinking a lot of them On my most recent visit I tried one of their apple scones, and it was delicious read more

Simona Cafe - iced chai, strawberry basil matcha, orange blossom latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I have been to Simona Cafe twice now, both times on a weekend and it gets busy pretty quickly, especially in the morning. Simona Cafe is an all-day cafe and they have happy hour deals, but I've only tried them for around brunch time. Both times I o the same: a latte and the Franklin sandwich. I'll start with the sandwich since I definitely wouldn't mind getting it again. It's a generous size and it has a slight kick to it. I also appreciate that the avocado used was actually fresh. The latte, however, was too milky. I know it's a latte but I could barely taste the espresso. If I can't enjoy my latte, I doubt I'll be going back just for the food. I also noticed that some people placed their order and went to sit outside. Once the order was ready, the plate sat on the counter quite a while because the guy who was taking it outside was too busy chatting with a friend. While the plate sat on the counter, few people touched the plate wondering if that was their food. Kind of gross. Definitely recommend waiting for your order inside. The lady behind the register, the barista and the lady making the sandwich - all three were friendly and helpful. read more

Cute place in Arlington to study or work! I had just come from lunch so only got a latte but the food and pastries looked really good also. The latte was just decent - I got the honey lavender spring special and thought the honey and lavender flavors could have been stronger - but I like how they don't add too much ice and I always appreciate when coffee shops have glass or non-plastic cups for their in-store customers!
