    It's very busy here on weekends! Every time I come it's typically a Saturday morning and drinks take about 10-15 mins. But they make the drinks AHMAZINGGGG!! I got the matcha latte was made perfect not too sweet and not too bitter. There's seating inside and outside. I believe they have an upstairs.

    Close to GMU. The service is good, and they also have a work/study quiet area on the top (second floor) which is an added attraction to anyone that wants to work/study with a nice cup of Joe.

    I love this location. I've been coming here for over a decade. Everyone here is so friendly and of course, service is AMAZING.

    It's a comfortable spot. I do really like the upstairs area. This can be relaxing, although my goodness it can be busy. Also the parking is difficult. A lot of non drivers. Thankfully a very nice staff here. These men and women have my complete respect. I honestly don't know how they deal with the masses. Starbucks Christmas blend is delicious. So miss the Rift Valley though. As for their other coffees average. There's a burnt taste I'm not thrilled with. It works for a caffeine pick up though. All of us are addicts. I do wish the mocha fraps didn't have coffee grounds, and the food is overpriced.

    Interesting location with the most random set up known to Starbucks land. A two level location with the baristas on the lower level with barely any seating and the upper level looks big from below but it's a small offering of tables and a few couches. The store felt like the cold air was trapped in the store which was a tad bit odd but I'll attribute that to there being entrances on both levels. My drink was okay despite repeating my request twice and even having it repeated back to me, it was still made sans non fat milk. Yet I was not the only customer whose drink was incorrectly assembled as the gentleman's drink ahead of mine contained an extra shot lol. All in all, service was ok, tad bit ow so this may not be the location to drop into if you are in a rush as the mobile orders had to wait just as long. I did notice they have a designated spot for delivery drivers to pick up orders.

    I ordered venti ice matcha green tea latte. The cup was 3 quarter full... and the taste was ok. I was expected the cup to be full since we paid for it. And the top was all foamy and once it melted, it looked like in the picture. Please consider to fill it up to the top.. thanks.

    WEIRD STARBUCKS. It's disappointing for the Starbucks in downtown Fairfax not to be such a good go-to option. By no fault of their own, they draw a strange clientele that you just have to ignore sometimes. Downstairs, there is one table reserved for handicapped patrons and a bar that you don't want to sit at unless you want to make conversation with some strange randos. There's an upstairs seating area, but it feels far away from where they are calling drinks, and the seats aren't that comfortable. I was in there today and they forgot my drink order. I had to remind them after about 15 minutes (my husband's drink came out right away). It would be better if there could be more downstairs seating or if they brought the ordering area upstairs.

    This Starbucks location has amazing customer service. Whether it is slow or busy, the employees are always putting their all and it shows. It's amazing how much they are able to get done in such a short period of time. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The employees are always connecting with the customers, and they create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for anyone who enters. What was especially note worthy was how these employees go above and beyond. Today, my boyfriend and I came in to celebrate his 20th Birthday, as we Starbucks is a part of our routine. It was slow when we came in around 2:45 today, and the staff was super helpful in helping us figure out how to order his free birthday drink. We waited patiently for his birthday drink and quickly saw how busy this Starbucks location is. Whether it be mobile orders, in person customers, or guest requests, the staff works incredibly as a team to ensure each customers satisfaction. We received our first drink promptly after ordering it, and were waiting for his birthday drink. It became extremely busy, so we waited a little longer than expected to, visit. I was impressed by the number of drinks produced by these employees in such a short time frame, and we were ultimately extremely satisfied with our experience today.

From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe just wraps around you like your favorite cozy sweater. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!

I saw Haraz on Instagram right around the time they opened, and the photos and videos of the interior and the food are spot on. The designers knew exactly what they were doing with the color pallet, lighting, and furniture to design an open, welcoming, and relaxing space reminiscent of the Middle East. You order at the counter either through a tablet or with an employee, and if there is a line you get a few extra moments to gaze into their pastry display that also features my favorite pistachio milk cake. It makes a lovely, light dessert or midday treat. Another pastry-specific highlight is their bee bites. It looks like a bubble waffle but is a toasted bread with cream cheese and honey. They are busy pretty much at all times of day and on the weekends especially. Morning coffee, early afternoon, and even late at night with large groups hanging out and enjoying coffee. Haraz is a chain/franchise, but they know what they're doing to make it feel local and like something special. They employees are always polite, patient, and helpful.

The coffee was good, and the interior is beautiful, but the croissant was extremely disappointing. It had very little filling, and what little was there barely tasted like almond.

Are the fruit desserts pricey? Yes. I paid about $42 for 3 of them. But I can also acknowledge that a lot of skill and time goes into making these - from the multi-layered fillings to the airbrushed coatings on top. They're a work of art! And every single one looked perfect in the glass display. As for the flavor? I really enjoyed the ones I tried - mango, pistachio and orange (pictured). Mango was by far my favorite. The crunch when you bite into these is so satisfying, and the fruit purees in the middle taste like fresh fruit and not artificial at all. The pistachio one had a Dubai inspired filling with kadaif. They look small but honestly one is more than enough for dessert. I also appreciate that there seems to be a ton available throughout the day now and they aren't selling out like they were months ago. I'll be back!
