    UGHHHH I forgot how good and convenient this place is. I decided to get their cherry lime lemonade to cut through all the heavy food I ate at Tilly Kitchen.... It was so good I came back 2 days in a row and bought True Lime packets to try to recreate it at home! Service is always really efficient here and the interior is playful and fun with lots of games to play with friends.

    First off this place is so cute!! Love the ambiance and all the cute photo props. There offer a wide variety of options from soft serves, to sodas, cookies etc. I appreciated the self ordering kiosks since it makes it easier to customize and order. We got 2 soft serves, they offer 2 sizes and both come with unlimited toppings. LOVEEEE this! We tried the ube which was absolutely delicious. Very creamy and not too sweet. And we also had the Cookie Monster and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My fave out of the 3 was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch! This place was buuuuusy on a Sunday afternoon, we ended up waiting around 15 min for our order. There are about 5 tables inside and a couple more outside. We'll be back!!! P.S. they have BOGO soft serves on Tuesdays!!

    I've seen Softspot pop up on my social media feed several times, so I had to try it for myself! It seems like the kind of place that will always have a bit of a crowd on a warm weekend evening. The seating is limited, so more than likely you may have to take your treats to go. I appreciated the nondairy soft serve options - not something that's usually offered at most dessert spots! I tried the strawberry fresh fruit soft serve with a nondairy milk base, and I asked for a chocolate dip topping as well. The strawberry soft serve was refreshing but the flavor wasn't too strong. The portion is big, but I wish that my soft serve had been covered in chocolate dip instead of having it drizzled on. There's a lot of variety to the menu, and I'd love to go back to try more options.

    Hands down the best dessert place I've been to in awhile. I an a slushie fanatic and am very particular about my slushies but I am always dreaming about theirs. They use jarritos I think so the flavors are absolutely delicious. It is so refreshing especially during the hot summer. Their ice cream is also so creamy and not overly sweet, which I like. Please get their cookies while you're there! They bake them fresh per order so they come out warm and gooey. Highly recommend!

    Delicious ice cream! The orders came out super quickly, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. They had a wide variety of flavors to choose from, so there was something for everyone. The ice cream was creamy, flavorful, and tasted fresh. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back to try more flavors!

    I've never had New Zealand style ice cream or dirty sodas before and now I'm hooked! The strawberries and blueberries were blended with the vanilla soft serve making it a beautifully colored treat. It was not too sweet and didn't melt too quickly, which I appreciated. The toppings are unlimited and free too. A hybrid of nicecream I must say. The dirty soda didn't have enough carbonation in my opinion. Still really liked the flavors. Parking is free but this place gets really busy. Consider ordering online once you park and head inside. The place was like a zoo house with long wait on weekend evenings. Looking forward to returning in the future regardless!

    Softspot was popping around 9 PM with bright colors, lots of games, plenty of seating, and a friendly and quick service staff. The 2 soft serves we had were good. Both were creamy and delicious. If I had to improve anything, I'd make the flavors of the ice cream a tiny bit stronger, and actually dip the soft serve if they are going to call one of their toppings "dipped" on their kiosks.

    This is a great spot! I appreciate the abundance of drink + dessert options. My order was ready quickly. I met up with a friend here, and we stayed for an hour. She got a dirty soda which she really enjoyed, and I got an ube soft serve, which I liked but it was a bit pricey. They also have games to play, and a super cute design. So I recommend this place and would like to come back on a Tuesday for BOGO soft serve to try the New Zealand style one.

    If you're in Chantilly and have a sweet tooth, the Softspot is a must stop. We went specifically to try the hot chocolate which was as good as social media suggested. Delicious!!! They have a variety of dirty sodas, cookies, cinnamon rolls and soft serve ice cream. There are a few tables inside and outside in front of the shop. A variety of table games are available to use if you are hanging out for a while.

    We stopped by SoftSpot after seeing a post on social media and decided to give it a try. It was a Sunday night and the place was packed. They have ordering kiosks, but only two of them, so there was a bit of a wait to place our order. We all got the hot chocolate, and while they offer tons of other options--from dirty sodas to hot cookies--the highlight for us was the marshmallow around the cup and on top. That part was delicious! The hot chocolate itself was just okay, but still enjoyable overall. There were only two young ladies working, and they did an amazing job keeping up with all the orders despite the rush. There is some seating, but the people already seated weren't in a hurry to leave, so it was tough to find a spot. Overall, it seems like a cool dessert spot with fun options. If we're in the area again, we'd definitely give it another try.

    Softspot soft serve ice cream is super creamy soft velvety texture and delicious! My favorite is their ube classic and vanilla classic. Portions are generous and no limit on toppings. Quick service and friendly staffs. You order and pay from the kiosk and your ice cream is ready within 5 minutes or less. May take longer if they are busy. But so far I have received my ice cream orders in less than 5 minutes every time. I recommend Softspot!!

    This place is adorable! Hands down one of the best-decorated spots -- the vibe is so cozy, warm, and inviting, and it literally smells like freshly baked cookies the moment you walk in. I got the Cookie Monster flavor, which is like cookies and cream but totally unique -- it's super smooth with no cookie bits, and I actually love that twist. It is a little pricey (about $5 for a kids size), but honestly, the portion is generous and totally worth it. At night, the place is popping -- super lively and busy, but they somehow keep things moving fast, so you don't wait long at all. Overall, it's one of those places that just makes you feel happy to be there -- cozy vibes, amazing smell, and seriously good ice cream.

    The ice cream has a good flavor, good amount of options for toppings without being overwhelming. The cookies are nice, soft, and warm. The shop is smaller but has a nice layout. Employees are nice but the shop could be cleaned more frequently.

You're going to love this place." She knows me well. Walking into Weird Brothers feels a little like stumbling into the cantina after taking a wrong turn through Mos Eisley. The place is loaded with Star Wars, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, and Nightmare Before Christmas memorabilia. As a longtime Star Wars fan and hardcore comic collector, I immediately went into "Okay, let's see what they have" mode. And that's before even getting to the coffee. Weird Brothers roasts their own beans and has a bunch of sci-fi-themed blends. The names alone had me reaching for my wallet. I'm the kind of person who will buy a comic because it says "First Appearance" on the bag, so naturally I'm susceptible to coffee with a geeky name. They even have a special blend for the CrossFit gym next door, which I thought was a pretty cool touch. Nothing says community partnership quite like supplying caffeine to people voluntarily throwing heavy objects around at 6 a.m. Supporting your neighboring businesses? +5 reputation points. Now, about the food... Come here for the coffee. When we visited, they were completely out of the breakfast sandwiches. The remaining options were quiches, so we grabbed the ham & cheese and spinach. Unfortunately, they weren't freshly made and were simply reheated. They were perfectly edible, but definitely more "side quest" than "main storyline." The Americano, however, was good. That's what brought me back to the primary mission: coffee and geeky stuff. I definitely want to return and pick up a few bags of their beans. At this point, I'm basically looking at the coffee menu the same way I look at a wall of long boxes at a comic shop: "I don't need all of these... but I should probably check every single one just in case there's a key." Four stars for the coffee, atmosphere, in-house roasting, and ridiculous amount of geek cred. The food kept this from going to five stars, but I'll absolutely be back. Now excuse me while I go investigate these coffee blends like I'm hunting for a first appearance of Boba Fett in a stack of back issues. May the roast be with you.

I met up with friends and their kids there, and it honestly felt like the perfect place for both adults and children to relax and spend time together. I ordered the iced Earl Grey Matcha, which had earthy matcha layered with lavender cold foam, and I absolutely loved it. Smooth, refreshing, and unique without being overly sweet. Sourdough Brioche Cinnamon Roll was really good as well. One thing to keep in mind is that they have a limited stock of pastries, so if you want to try their baked goods, its definitely best to visit early before they sell out. I also love the story behind the shop. The owners are educators from Texas who pursued their dream of opening a coffee shop. As an educator myself, also from TX, I really appreciated that they celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week for educators. My friends who homeschool their kids unfortunately weren't able to get the teacher discount because they didn't have school IDs, but hopefully that's something they can consider expanding next year.
