Simply the best cafe-- best morning coffee, lattes and teas, breakfast, and everyone is so friendly! My 4yo daughter has been a fan or this place and you can find something to eat for everyone. They have a drive through for the busy days which everyone appreciates, and it's super quick. Another plus is that you can order online now. They don't have the most seating inside so keep it to a small group. read more

Stopped here for coffee after visiting Great Falls. I got their Caramel Latte Iced and it was good. Super refreshing but a tad too sweet. I like that they include a piece of stropper waffle with my drink so I mowed that down. Spot appears to be really popular because it was packed and barely any seating available. read more

Pretty decent drinks. I got the chai which was spicier than I'm used to, but not in a bad way. It had more of a kick which I'm guessing is from the cinnamon? It was definitely more unique and memorable. I got the coffee jelly which is the special for right now, and I enjoyed the texture. Drinks came with a little cookie which was cute. There was a fair amount of seating, and we were lucky to snag a seat. Service was fairly quick. read more

I loved everything about this place. A little bit of a drive for us but definitely worth it. The owner worked the cash register and helped us decide on the perfect breakfast and coffee. They even have a placard to describe the exact proportions of cream to make your coffee what you are looking for. I got the burrito bowl which was expensive but had avocado, salsa and the right amount of cheese. I chose turkey sausage and it kept me full through a busy day of sports. My husband and son got the breakfast sandwich on a croissant (their go to; not on the menu, but they accommodated). They said it was just okay. Finally my cappuccino and husbands iced coffee was better than expected. The coffee was smooth and flavorful and the milk was the perfect amount. Met some fun locals while we waited and noticed this place was bumping with active and kind humans. It felt busy but open enough to not be too crowded or loud. Definitely recommend!! read more

As a neighborhood spot, I can see how this place is super popular. The surrounding areas are all houses, so when people are trying to get their coffee I can see that this place is one of the top spots just because of convenience. The coffee was good, and the sandwich was alright as well. I wouldn't say I have spectacular comments, but I thought it was decent for what it was. I enjoyed both of the items I got, but I do think I should probably order something different to see if there's something else that is better than what I got. I got the pesto chicken sandwich. It was alright, but I mean I think their other options are more exciting. If you're in the area, I would definitely see why this place is a favorite. Coffee, breakfast spot that isn't microwaved and cooked fresh, and just neighborhood vibes. This place checks all of them. read more

Great coffee and amazing service! There's a drive thru as well as nice areas for you to sit and enjoy your coffee and food. I love that the coffee is not weak and they put nice pattern on your coffee foam. Bonus is you get a slice of waffle with every coffee! If I lived in Vienna, this would be my go-to place for coffee. read more

My mom hates salad and she likes theirs so that says a lot on its own. I preferred the spinach avocado salad to the simply's house salad because I felt the former was a lot more unique and the strawberries balanced out the salad a lot. The portions are pretty good -- we weren't able to finish! The coffee was underextracted, though. Overall it's a really nice space for chat or work! read more

I have meetings across the county for work, so I'm always paying attention for local coffee shops because I don't go to the green mermaid lady shop. I've seen simply social before while in this area but it was before I became a regular coffee drinker (I.e. before having a baby). So I stopped in before my meeting to grab a latte and do my surprise they had breakfast as well. I love bagel sandwiches when I'm out because they're nice and filling, so I ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk and a turkey sausage, egg, and cheddar on a plain bagel. - Cashier didn't say hello when I approached was the register and was downright rushing me, which made me forget to say that I wanted my latte half sweet + they have different bread options for sandwiches - no wheat bagel option. I think they have cinnamon raisin, plain, and everything + my latte was delicious and came with a piece of a stroopwaffle on top, nice touch + small space to work inside + free and available parking + food is cooked on a grill and not microwaved Not sure if they have a rewards program but I believe every coffee shop should. read more

Simply Social is located in a shopping center with a lot of parking, and it has a good amount of seating inside. It's cozy, and everyone working is nice. I ordered a caramel iced latte and the pistachio kouign amann. Honestly, the coffee was so much sweeter than I was expecting, but it was good once the ice melted to water it down. Probably wouldn't go for this flavor again. The kouign amann is exactly as they described it, a cross between a kouign amann and baklava. The pistachio filling was just sweet enough, and I like that they give you the option of getting it heated. read more

Simply Social is my go-to happy place! Their London Fog and chai brighten my mornings, and nothing beats a refreshing Fresca during the day. The food is Absolutely delicious. Healthy, simple, and satisfying. I used to pick it up daily while visiting family at the hospital nearby. Staff is amazingly friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for great vibes and even better bites! read more

Stopped by for a coffee and a quick bite and was not disappointed! The service was great and quick. I ordered a honey coconut milk latte -- 8/10 & a spinach wrap w no cheese or mayo -- 8/10 It was very busy when I came in on a Sunday morning, so I wouldn't sit down here to do work or anything given that it was a bit lousy and crowded. I love that this give you a little waffle bite with your coffee! Will definitely be back to try more on their menu. I just wish they had more vegan options. read more

Quick Summary: Good coffee with potential for great. Food Options (Pastries, Menu): Menu Machine Manufacturer: La Marzocco Beans: Counter Culture Cup Type (Porcelain, Glass, Paper): paper only Milk Options Avail: various Latte Art (None, Ok, Great): Very good Time taken: 5 mins Merch Avail (Yes or No): no Parking (Plentiful or Minimal): plentiful Indoor Seating (Plentiful or Minimal): decent among Outdoor Seating (Yes or No): yes Cleanliness (1-5): 5 Ambiance (1-5): 4 Review: This shop has its own space near a strip mall. When you walk in, they have plenty of space and a good ambiance. They do sell food as well as some pastries. I had my usual latte and the barista did a good job with the drink. I like that it comes with a little waffle cone bit. The drink itself was good but not great. It was a little on the weak side so perhaps the roast was a little light for the amount of milk. The texture was a little on the thick side for a latte but pretty darn good. I do not love that they only have to go cups. Similarly, they only have to go plates for food so clearly they are avoiding dishes of any kind. The drink overall was very good just not great. A solid 4 and I would recommend it. read more

Came here to work and relax. Cozy cafe with a dark aesthetic. Seating is very limited- it would be nice if they had outdoor seating! This location also has a drive-through, which I thought was cool. I got the chipotle black bean wrap and a fruit smoothie. I feel like it's a bit expensive for the price point. The baristas and workers were very nice and welcoming. read more

Simply Social is simply the best! I started visiting during the pandemic when I was pregnant with my second child and looking to break up the days with a nice sweet treat. Now my baby is three years old and we ALL love going to Simply Social together. The drive-through is an absolute godsend on busy days. The baristas are always so sweet, so quick, and always on top of everything they do. My go-to is an oat milk latte but their seasonal specials are always so fun to try. My favorite is their summertime iced lattes with Vietnamese coffee jelly cubes. They serve some of the best pastries in the area (I dream about their croissants) and my daughters' love their bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches on busy mornings. They give a free quarter of a pizzelle cookie with every drink order and this just makes my kids' day. Woman-owned, minority-owned, locally-owned. This shop check all the boxes and I love supporting this business (although, I'm pretty sure they're the ones actually supporting me ... thanks for all the great memories and treats!). read more

I'd come back here in a heartbeat. My fiancée and I stopped by here for a quick bite to eat on our way to something else and we were not disappointed. The breakfast sandwiches are really delicious. I ordered the sausage, egg and cheese. I believe she ordered the bacon, egg and cheese. Both are solid options and you won't be disappointed with either. The coffee was also delicious. I get my coffee black so I can always tell when the coffee itself is good versus if it isn't or it's burnt. They also gave us a little stroopwaffel here with our drinks. It's a nice little extra that we weren't expecting. Not sure if they do it all the time but it was appreciated. The staff are super friendly and patient here. They took time to answer questions and help us since it was our first time. The ambiance is open and casual. There's plenty of seating inside and it's bright inside. It's in a shared parking lot with other businesses so there's ample parking available. read more

I was craving a latte and saw that Simply Social Coffee wasn't too far from where I was. There's plenty of parking, and the interior is cozy with a good amount of seating. If I came here earlier (instead of 10 minutes before closing), it would've been a great spot to get some work done. The menu has an extensive selection of coffee and tea, along with small bites like pastries and breakfast sandwiches and "lunch" options like sandwiches and salads. Since the seasonal coffee menu still features holiday drinks, I got a PEPPERMINT MOCHA (dark chocolate mocha by default). The barista told me the drink wasn't too sweet, which was perfect. The drink came out pretty well, but I would've preferred a strong espresso flavor (looks like they use Counter Culture's Gradient beans, based on a a sign I saw). Overall, 4.5/5, but will bump it up to a 5/5 for what the cafe offers. In the future, I'd definitely come back to Simply Social to catch up with friends in the area or get some work done. I'd like to try their other coffee options as well as their sandwiches. read more

Cute little coffee shop with great service, good tea (I'm not much of a coffeee drinker), and great food!!! I really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich I got, the tea wasn't what I expected but it was still good. The staff do a good job of keeping the cafe clean and they super friendly!!! I have no complaints and I would go back if I'm in the area. It's not a big spot so it's not great for large groups. read more

I've stopped by Simply Social Coffee a few times while in the area and usually go for their seasonal drinks. While the drinks are spot on when made well, sometimes it can be slightly watered down or just lukewarm when specifically requesting it as 'extra hot' - it's a consistency issue. I've also tried their almond croissants, which isn't the greatest if you get it later in the morning/afternoon, as it tends to get dry and chewy. The few times I did order the Spicy Black Bean Wrap was delicious, which is a tortilla filled with a black bean patty, baby spinach, pepper jack cheese, avocado mix, tomatoes, and a chipotle sauce - however, there are times in which the tortilla isn't warmed and is dry, they leave out the pepper jack cheese, or there's hardly any of the chipotle sauce in there - when you do request for some extra sauce, they charge you. I guess it's just a gamble on the staff or the barista who makes your food/drinks on your visit. There are some seating indoors as well as their own little patio. They also have a drive-thru, too. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot; just watch out for the sharp turning in and out of vehicles into and out of the plaza. +inconsistent drinks/food items +seating in- and outdoors +drive-thru available +plenty of parking in plaza lot read more

Wow, a cafe w a drive thru available, what a cool spot! Being used to their amazing coffee from their fairfax location, we decided to try out their Vienna location as well! Staff were lovely, patient, and the service was quick! We got iced vanilla oat lattes, mango smoothie, and croissant. All were delicious and the it was perfect since their smoothies are water-based!

My favorite go-to coffee place to go to in all of the DMV. The coffee is always incredible and the sandwiches are delicious as well.

The little cookie that comes with each coffee is a really nice touch as well! read more

Very good coffee shop that fulfills that itch of wanting to get caffeinated in the afternoon. The space is very spacious with numerous amounts of tables inside and outside to sit down at. There's even a section where they have a fireplace as well if you wanted to lounge too. The place is decorated and it's cute too. For my coffee, I got their Seasonal Lavender Vanilla Latte with Whole Milk. It was very good and it was not very strong but not too bitter either. Perfect temperature and they even brought it out to the table I sat down too. The almond croissant was amazing too, I was even asked if I'd like it warm and also they brought it out to me. Very delicious bites with bits of almond nuts and a bit of cream filling too. I enjoyed it very much. It is a bit out of the way going to the Vienna location but I will definitely have to check out their Fairfax Location! read more

I was in the area and found Simply Social in my search. It's a great coffee shop for getting some work done, while enjoying a great cold brew and croissant. They're quite busy but move very quickly. It looks like they take a lot of orders from the drive thru. A personal favorite. A little out of the way for me, but they'll totally have my business if I'm in the area. read more

I had a deeply upsetting experience at this coffee shop that I feel obligated to share--not just for myself, but for others who've faced the same treatment. And judging by the other reviews, I am not the only one. If you check the reviews, you'll see that many people have had similar issues with the owner . Her rudeness and unprofessionalism are a pattern, not a one-time incident. Here's what happened: I had a lot of work to do and needed a quiet place to focus. I first stopped by a different café to get a sandwich, but their coffee machine was broken. So, I took my sandwich and went to this coffee shop to get a drink and sit down to work. I did not come in without buying something--I ordered water, then a coffee, and I sat down quietly to work. Yes, I had a sandwich from somewhere else, and I understand that it's not ideal to bring outside food--but I was trying to finish urgent work and didn't expect what happened next. The owner came up to me and immediately started speaking to me in a rude and condescending way, saying it's not okay to bring outside food and I'm "showing other brands" in her café. I politely told her I didn't know and that I was sorry. I even offered to leave right away if that's what she wanted. She said, "No, I'll let you stay this time, but don't do it again." I thanked her and tried to go back to my work, thinking that was the end of it. But it wasn't. She kept talking at me !making gestures with her hands and repeating that what I did was "not acceptable" and asking me, "You understand, right? You understand?" over and over again. At this point, I felt humiliated and uncomfortable. So, I stood up calmly, packed my sandwich, and told her, "Actually, I'll just leave." She continued to insist that I was wrong, her tone and body language full of attitude and disrespect. I told her I didn't need the coffee anymore, and she refunded me--but with more unnecessary rudeness. I left feeling shaken and humiliated. I later called the store to speak to her privately and explained that I've been going through a very difficult time. I recently lost my sister and had a miscarriage. This was the first day I pushed myself to go outside. I told her that kindness is free and that I had been nothing but polite to her. Her response? "I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm going to hang up now." And she did. This is not how you treat people. This is not how you speak to paying customers--especially when they are being respectful. The way she embarrassed me in front of others, the coldness she showed even after hearing about my pain, and the complete lack of empathy or professionalism was shocking. Again, I urge anyone reading this to check the other reviews--so many customers have complained about this owner's attitude. It's honestly unbelievable this continues to happen. People in Virginia are known for being warm and respectful, and this experience was the opposite of that. And what I noticed is the owner never accepts any negative reviews with humility. Instead of simply saying "sorry" and acknowledging the issue, she always gets defensive. Every time someone leaves constructive criticism or shares a bad experience, she responds by justifying herself rather than listening. It's clear she's more focused on defending her business than actually improving it:) If you're looking for a place to enjoy your coffee and get work done without being judged, mistreated, or humiliated, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. read more

Great place to get a fun coffee pastry and yap with friends! They always have fun seasonal drinks here that are served with a little waffle cone on the side.

Service & food are always prompt, courteous and high quality. Go to place for coffee or breakfast meetings. Staff are always welcoming and engaging. Two observations: First, majority of chairs (at tables) are plastic and uncomfortable. Clearly designed to discourage hanging out for more than a few minutes. Second, during brief lulls in morning rush, numerous staff grab their phones and heads down texting or FaceTiming someone with no earbuds. Seems like there would always be something to do (cleaning, organizing, restocking, bathroom checks, resetting tables and chairs, etc). Even if everything is done, it's not a good look in front of customers. read more

I give the coffee five stars but knocked off a few stars because they only have paper cups (no mugs to enjoy in store) and also they will not spare these paper cups for tap water-you are told to either buy a bottle or bring in your water bottle so they can fill it up. read more

Wow they've raised their prices. Okay everyone has, but a breakfast sandwich and cup of Joe is considerably more. They do have pretty good food here, and several delicious brews of coffee. My main issue with their java, is that they don't have an eye opener that I'm aware of. To their credit, their coffees don't have the burnt aftertaste like Starbucks. That's a positive attribute. Actually like this place. You'll find friendly and efficient employees. Also like the vibe here. It is relaxing for with friends or a nice book you want to read. This can provide a respite from Northern Virginia life. It is a nice place, and good for coffee dates too. If you're close by it's worth visiting here and there. read more

Cute and warm interior with homey decor. Space is very limited, but has a cozy vibe. I ordered the iced honey caramel latte (combined honey and caramel syrup flavors together) and it was a bit too sweet for my liking for the first few sips, but gradually became better the more I stirred the drink. This latte was on the creamier side, with almost a mocha-like consistency. Overall, flavors were nicely balanced with the milk and espresso. The lady who called out our order names was very friendly, unsure about the others. Also love how their drinks come with a little pizzelle cookie piece! read more

This was my first visit to Simply Social, and I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately, my experience was soured when a staff member named Angela abruptly approached my family as we were sitting at the tables. She angrily told us, "YOU CANNOT MOVE FURNITURE AROUND," because we had pushed two tables together to accommodate our group of four. There were no signs indicating this wasn't allowed, and it's a common practice in cafes to adjust tables for larger groups. While I understand policies may exist, her tone was unnecessarily rude she could have communicated it in a much kinder way. read more

I pulled up to Simply Social Coffee in Vienna during a busy time with no parking spots left in the lot. I parked behind another car on the side, facing the opposite direction, no one was blocked, no safety issue at all. Immediately, a staff member stormed out yelling at me, demanding what I was doing and saying it wasn't allowed. I pointed out the other car parked the same way; she insisted he was "facing the right way" and kept escalating. I told her she was, "Doing too much." Which triggered her even more. She then said, " what did you say!?" "I'll just give you a refund!!"and she walked inside. I quickly turned my car around to park the way she told me to--no big deal. She brought my food out and started lecturing me again about "safety hazards" (which was ridiculous, as it affected no one). As I was trying to explain to her that she could've handled that situation better and that this will be my last time here, she reached into my car window, waving at the food, and aggressively offered a refund again, even though I never asked for one. It felt invasive and threatening--I genuinely felt unsafe with her hand in my vehicle--so I rolled up my window and asked, "What is wrong with you?" That's when she threw her arms up dramatically and yelled, "Don't come back!" (I even have video of that part.) This was the most over-the-top, disrespectful experience I've ever had at a coffee shop. I was just trying to pick up my order and support a local spot--I'd ordered plenty of food--but the attitude was hostile from start to finish. Zero professionalism. Avoid this place if you value basic courtesy and feeling safe. Never going back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

3.5 stars. There's nothing bad but it's not all that special either. They have some crafty menu items for drinks but not much else. Their sandwiches are good and I did enjoy the Dirty Matcha which is a matcha latte with two shots of espresso. I don't like how their matcha has no sugar free version but they make up for it by offering dairy alternatives like almond and soy milk. I come here once every other week as my mom enjoys having brunch there with our dogs and there aren't that many options in the area with clean outdoor seating. I prefer the seating arrangement in the other Fairfax location. What I AM dinging them on is their unwillingness to accommodate. I asked for hot water so I can mix the coffee up- my mom sometimes likes her coffee watered down but she doesn't know how much until she tries it. They said I'd have to pay- for HOT WATER? Never been asked this. Sounds petty but it's that type of neighborly service that I expect of coffee shops. I also don't like them asking for tip- this is a self service place. This goes for all self service shops. I feel pressured to pay at least 10% bc they stare intently at you as you fill that out when you pay. It's an off putting mannerism I don't appreciate especially in times of inflation and you've already accounted for it by increasing prices. read more

This is my local coffee shop and I love to shop local and support small business owners. Unfortunately, this will be my last time going to this establishment. They literally lost my business over a cup of ice. I purchased a drink in their open air cabinet, discovered that it wasnt cold, and asked for a cup of ice. The owner (I believe) told me that they charge for cups because it's an inventory item. Frankly I don't care if cups are an inventory item. I care that my overpriced beverage was warm on a very hot day and that the person in charge didn't care enough to give me a cup of ice. I have been visiting this place on an off since it opened and have been underwhelmed by the wrong drinks, undertrained staff, and high priced food. The food inspires me to cook at home because I can do better for less money. Seriously, either make sure your drinks cold or give people ice. This place feels like it's being run by amateurs. read more

We wanted to grab a light-ish breakfast and decided to come back here since it seemed solid. Placed an order online for a Dark Chocolate Mocha w/Coffee Jelly and Oat Milk, Summer Peach Tea, a Turkey Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, and a Turkey Sausage Breakfast Burrito. We ordered a Honey Pistachio Kouign Aman but they ran out so we swapped it for the Pear Pastry (forgot the name). Pickup was quick, and the people at the window were very friendly and happy to help us. The mocha was so good, not too sweet, and had a lot of jelly. The burrito was actually pretty hearty but had good flavor. Loved the watermelon as a side, very refreshing. The pear pastry was very flaky and also not too sweet which we liked. Sandwich and the tea were solid though I didn't have too much of either. Great breakfast, and great customer service. Definitely a great small business you should support! read more
