    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.

    Great seating for work space!

I was very impressed with their extensive menu and offerings. I had the Italian cold cut sandwich, blackberry lemonade, and salted caramel brownie. The sandwich was a 10. There's an art to how to make a sandwich, how it's layered and put together, the staff here know what they are doing. It was the perfect size, and tasted amazing. The blackberry lemonade was perfect. Not many places offer a blackberry option, so that get extra points. The salted Carmel brownie was inhaled...so yea it was awesome as well . The staff was friendly and helpful, and gave me enough time to select my lunch. Thanks for the excellent experience today.

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!

It's the perfect spot to enjoy specialty coffees and seasonal lattes such as Creme Brulee and Peppermint Mocha, along with delicious pastries, including croissants, kouign-amanns, gourmet cookies, donuts, and hearty breakfast options like avocado toast and breakfast sandwiches. The friendly staff provides excellent service, and the cozy, beautifully decorated interior, especially during the winter holidays, makes it a favorite place for the community to relax with a good cup of coffee. We first discovered this charming cafe when it opened in Fairfax, and we've enjoyed its other locations in Vienna and Reston as well. Across all locations, they maintain consistent quality, serving excellent coffee with a waffle piece--a lovely gesture that reflects their warmth and hospitality.

With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, this is the perfect place to catch up with yourself and enjoy a sweet treat. Pastry wise they are known for their fruit shaped cakes, dot cakes, and most recently their viral fruit ice cream bon bons. They also have a few savory snacks and pastries in a little case but that kind of felt like an after thought. My mango cloud matcha latte was light, airy, sweet, and fruity. Mango + matcha is an amazing flavor combination and I was a big fan. Unfortunately the dot cake was kind of a bummer. It looked really nice but all the sprinkles disintegrated as soon as we put our fork in and it had way too much cream cheese frosting. My favorite was the bon bon ice creams. $24 for a little pint that you can bring home. For the past week whenever I was feeling like I needed a boost, I would head to my freezer and omg it was the best! Crunchy, crispy, cool, with different flavored fruit ice cream inside. It was absolutely delightful. Place was buzzing but luckily the lines have died down so it's not impossible to grab one of their pastries anymore. Pair with a stop at the library for the perfect rainy day afternoon treat!
