DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!…read more I posted a review several months ago about Ridgetop CoffeeTop consistently running out of coffee and giving customers a 16-ounce cup when they actually paid for a 20-ounce cup. As a result of that review, I spoke with Christina, who manages the shop. She was genuinely sincere, apologized for the issues, and assured me that things were going to change. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. On Friday, July 10, at approximately 9:30 a.m., I visited the shop again. I was the fifth person in line, looking at my phone, when I heard the first customer being told they had no coffee. He immediately walked out. The next two customers ordered iced tea. The fourth customer, who was directly in front of me, ordered two cups of coffee. I clearly heard the employee tell him there was no coffee available and that he would have to wait 5 to 10 minutes. Although he was obviously frustrated, he agreed to wait and took a seat. When it was my turn, I asked the cashier if I had heard correctly that there was currently no coffee. She confirmed they were about to brew a fresh pot. I pointed out that five customers had already been in line and that this was a coffee shop with no coffee available. After already turning away one customer and asking another to wait, only then were they starting a new pot? The cashier responded with an attitude, saying, "You'll just have to wait 5 to 10 minutes." This is exactly what I discussed with Christina months ago. I simply do not understand how a coffee shop can repeatedly run out of coffee. At a minimum, there should always be another pot brewing or ready so customers are not left waiting 5 to 10 minutes after placing an order. That is poor planning and poor customer service. It is clear that nothing has changed since my conversation with Christina. I asked if either Christina or Dan, the other manager, was available, and I was told there were no managers on duty. At that point, I walked out. I cannot recommend spending your time or money at a coffee shop that repeatedly fails to have coffee available. It would be like going to a grocery store with no groceries. If a business specializes in coffee, customers should reasonably expect coffee to be available.

Though but a thimble in measure, its body was stout, its bitterness noble, and its finish lingered upon mine tongue as though a monk had whispered dark secrets into mine ear. A draught fit for kings, crusaders, and those burdened with collecting the kingdom's taxes. Thereafter came the humble medium drip coffee, a beverage far gentler in temperament. Verily, it possessed a smoothness most uncommon, lacking the scorched misery oft found in lesser taverns. Notes of roasted earth and faint sweetness did reveal themselves with each sip, as though the beans had been blessed by the Archbishop himself. It warmed both hand and spirit, making even the dreariest morn seem worthy of song. Thus do I proclaim The Blend Coffee Bar to be a house of uncommon mastery. Should thou seek potions brewed with care rather than haste, cast aside thy allegiance to lesser coffee merchants and make pilgrimage henceforth. I bestow upon this establishment five chalices out of five!

They have a wonderful selection of coffee/tea options but I prefer my standard chai or matcha. I tried their cranberry mocha and I wasn't a huge fan to be honest. I didn't taste any cranberry so to me it wasn't worth the $6 or $7. I also ordered their avocado toast but they didn't tell me they ran out of avocados until after I paid. So I ended up swapping to a caprese sandwich (which I'm glad I did) because I had a limited time. I actually think I would enjoy the sandwich more than the toast.

It was unusually busy for a Monday morning, but the ambiance here can be described as casual and clean. It's great for a family outing, hanging out with groups of 2-4 people or a relaxed date. The service here is also fantastic! Our waitress checked in on us a few times and the food didn't take that long to come out. My broccoli and cheddar soup was seasoned well and came with crackers. Also, my Monterrey Club was filled nicely. There was a good ratio of turkey to bacon to greens to bread to tomato and avocado. I do wish there was a more flavorful chipotle sauce or something on it However, the you pick 2 was priced well for the amount of food. It was the perfect amount to fill me up. I'd come here if you're looking for a place to eat brunch for sure. I've been to other First Watches and this one is comparable!

I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and an iced latte and was lucky enough to snag a table for the time being. I was not informed of any sort of wait time and generally expect the service at a cafe to be a little quicker than, let's say, a sit-down restaurant. After the last person in my group finished ordering, we learned that the waiter informed him that sandwiches will have a 40 minute wait time. After all the rest of us ordered and paid, unknowing of this ridiculously long wait. When the food finally came out, it was a much smaller portion than I expected for the price. I'm not sure what took so long, if the oven/toaster was broken or something, but I'm not sure why that would've stalled the preparation of my COLD chicken salad sandwich like the bread wasn't even toasted from what I could tell. +2 stars because the person making the drinks was ON FIRE, tossing them out left and right! She was awesome and the latte was the highlight of my experience and the only thing that kept me sane while waiting. The staff behind the counter, while friendly, seemed distracted by each other and were honestly just lollygagging around when it looked like they could've been assembling sandwich ingredients. It was like being in purgatory honestly. Don't mean to be dramatic but it was like just a pretty disappointing experience with everything this place could potentially offer. Cute vibes, friendly staff, and honestly really tasty food, but it's just a disaster the way it was run from my experience today.

I live near this location and have always wanted to stop in, so I was happy to finally have the chance. I like that they offer a wide array of fresh Korean inspired baked goods on their shelves, but also offer breakfast and lunch items to order. My friend and I both ordered a panini which came with a side of potato chips. They also have a coffee bar with seasonal flavors. Their pumpkin spiced latte is one of the best I've had in Centreville so far. The interior is spacious and clean. There were plenty of tables to accommodate groups of all sizes. There were a couple of inconveniences, however. First, the business can really only be accessed from Route 29 westbound. You would have to do a U-turn over a multi-lane highway or drive to the a nearby intersection to safely access the business. Second, there was no publicly accessible ramp to reach the front door. My friend and I had to lift up my baby's stroller up a couple of steps to enter. It wasn't a huge deal for us personally, but this would be a major accessibility barrier to others. Overall the food and coffee was fantastic and I would visit here again.

The service was…read moregreat--I asked if they could split two full-size Thai tea boba drinks in half for my little ones, and they happily did it with no hesitation. Even with four cups, they still filled mine generously, which I really appreciated. The disappointment came once we started drinking. It honestly tasted like milk with unsweetened boba. I don't mind if the boba isn't sweet as long as the drink has enough flavor, but in this case, the milk flavor was overpowering, and the tea was barely noticeable. We also ordered a bean pastry, which was surprisingly delicious! It was sweet, and if you didn't know it was made with beans, you probably wouldn't even notice. Overall, I'd be open to going back. I'm not sure if the overly milky flavor was a fluke from splitting the drinks or if that's just their usual recipe. The café itself is cute with cozy vibes. It's right off a main road (Route 29). Parking is available on the side and in the back, and there's a decent amount of seating. Just note they close at 9 PM, so if you're looking for a late-night café spot, this may not be the best option.
