Egg and cheese pide
Vidhika B.

I loved this place! I had an egg and cheese pide (for the first time) and it was so, so good. It was served fresh, tasted great, and was fun to eat. The service was super friendly as well - I was welcomed immediately upon entering and felt comfy hanging out for a bit even after I'd finished eating. The cozy couches were also a nice touch! The only downsides were a) the location: it's on the ground floor of an office building, which affects the vibe a bit, and b) the plants are sadly all fake: obviously not a huge deal, but ya knooow. I'd for sure be back if I found myself in the area, even if just to grab a pide to go!

**This establishment is inside an office building in McLean** Another cafe in the NoVA area to try out! Did not realize it was a Turkish cafe. I love Turkish coffee so definitely wanted to try theirs. They made the Turkish coffee in a sand heater, which was very interested. Never seen that before. The aesthetics is pretty minimal - not too many plants as I thought there would be since it's called "Hanging Gardens". They have a lot of various Turkish pastries and food. We got their pida (not pictured) and it has a very soft crust, more soft than a regular American style pizza. The waiter who brought out our food and drinks was superb and cleaned our dirty table. My partner got their latte but it did not have much flavor. Highly recommend to try out and I would come back to try their Turkish sweets!

Friendly staff and great ambiance. I came here to get some work done. The music is at a medium level so if you need a quiet space this place probably isn't the best for you unless you put some headphones in. The music actually helped me to concentrate though. Pistachio oat milk latte: I didn't taste pistachio at all. The oat milk wasn't as creamy as I'm use to. Overall, I would skip on this coffee. Dubai strawberry chocolate: pretty pricy. Not a lot of pistachio cream with the philo crunch. The chocolate wasn't melted and came in big chunks. I expected a little more but I'm still glad I tried this. It was good overall, just wished there was more pistachio cream.

Located in the back of all the office spaces, you'll find a cute cafe. I went after my doctors visit to get lunch, and was pleasantly surprised when I saw this pop up at Yelp. The iced pistachio latte is okay--I think it would be better hot. The pide was also good but could use more meat--however, for this price, that is a steal! I really wanted to try their baked goodies--they all looked so good! It is great that their prices are so good and the decor and the cafe itself makes more a lovely little date or study shop. I will say that their golden utensils are super cute as well as the teapots they have up at the front! I love the gold accent and it gives a subtly elegant vibe. The staff was very nice and kind towards us and the food and drinks came out fast.

We recently stopped in to The Hanging Gardens for a midafternoon coffee break. The space itself can be a little tricky to find as it is around the back of an office building. Once you find it, there is plenty of parking. There is also plenty of space inside to sit and relax. Though it took me a while to locate a menu for the food (they are on a back counter as you stand and look at the register - or at least they were that day) we could see many of the offerings in the glass cases. We decided on a baklava and one cold and one hot drink. The baklava was tasty. The only problem was the utensil it was served with was a little spoon with a super pointy end. I found it hard to use without spearing myself so I just picked up the dessert and ate it that way. I try to be civilized, but, dessert is dessert... The cold drink we ordered was a banana & peanut butter smoothie which was fine. We thought it was a fun combination to try. For a hot drink, I ordered a mocha but what I received was a macchiato. I didn't want to make a fuss and send it back so it was fine but I missed what I had ordered. The service was very friendly and welcoming even though they didn't get the order correct. The space is airy and comfortable. There are a lot of food offerings both savory and sweet.

iced pistachio americano raspberry dessert
Makenna M.

Such a cute little spot! The desserts are really good quality. I got a pistachio iced americano which wasn't my favorite because it tasted pretty flavorless, like it didn't have enough espresso shots in it and not enough syrup pumps. But it might have been just because of the barista that was working at the time, I originally asked for iced but she made it hot and I felt bad that I had to make her remake it because she seemed a little annoyed. I thought it was a little overpriced for the tiny cup size too but I will try a different drink out next time. The decor is really nice though and so was the manager when I walked in! I got to use the free wifi and work on my laptop in a nice air conditioned cafe for an hour or 2.

Sura is absolutely delightful she will greet you with a warm smile and make you feel at home
Mimi A.

Beautiful spacious cafe that's perfect for remote workers or friends catching up. The decor is absolutely lovely. The signature dish pide was scrumptious and delicious I enjoyed it a lot. I'm excited to come back for more. Sura provides such a friendly atmosphere with her delightful smile, service, and recommendations.

Karak tea

This café was in a bit of an odd location at the back of a corporate building. They did have a pastry spread, but I found it a bit confusing and while some of them look nice some of the ingredients were not vegetarian (although one appreciates clear labeling in this regard). However, I was quite happy with the option to order a falafel sandwich for breakfast either in large or a miniature slider size. A tea that I ordered had an interesting flavor with just a bit of spice. There was a large space to sit inside and it fit my needs for a breakfast placed.

Pistachio milk cake and Turkish tea.
P H.

Turkish inspired cafe with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe. It is off the lobby of an office building, so you need to drive around the back of the building if you want to come in straight from the parking area. Ordered a pistachio milk cake and Turkish tea. Loved both and was happy to find out the tea has free refills. Staff are very friendly and service was fast. Seems the establishment listened to the feedback because menus are now on the table and they serve dessert with full sized utensils. Recommend you stop by and check it out.

Egg and cheese pite
Jamie J.

This place is such a hidden gem! The food and coffee are great- I stumbled in here on a Saturday (which has reduced hours) and did some work. It's quiet and has ample parking - seems to be inside a corporate building. You'll see signs in the parking lot to get to it.

Karla P.

The ambiance of this place is quite nice, they have nice large windows, comfy seating, decent sized tables. It does get quite busy so don't be surprised if someone asks to sit at your table. The food was quite yummy, but not filling. It's a nice small bite, but don't expect to be full. I really enjoyed the banana avocado milkshake, it was so creamy and I was able to use oat milk as a DF option, which I appreciate. I'd give it a 5/5. The food we got was a 5/5 taste wise but 4/5 for the small portion sizes. The service workers were polite and answered my partners questions diligently. If you are in the area I recommend coming by here for a milkshake and a small bite.

Had a delicious breakfast this morning with a pistachio latte, yum! Very interesting menu with an array of options. Had the Turkey pepperoni omelet and an amazing Turkish pastry to go along with it. Very cute ambiance and wonderfully friendly service! And they let us bring our little pup in with us which we very much appreciate :)

They have different types of baked goods and loaves that you can purchase along with sandwiches and your usually coffees. This is connected to a restaurant right next door, and so it's a quick in and out if you're in a rush. Or if you want to sit around and have your baked good and then leave, there's seating as well.

The Avocado Toast with egg was good, but nothing particularly special. I enjoyed the English Sourdough bread and bought a loaf of it. We devoured the hand-cut fries. The 4 bite-size Ozzie Rolls were fun to try. The Chocolate Espresso Chew Cookie was moist and fudgey, sweet ending to our meal! Plain Croissant was standard. The Pink Drink with housemade syrup, coconut milk and strawberries was refreshing and tasty. It was my pick from the Strawberry Lemonade and Dragon fruit Lemonade. The Lemonades were a bit too sweet. I ordered the food to dine in and it was packaged to go. I wish the food could be prepared for dining in. It's a pet peeve of mine to see all of the grease oozing out of fries in a brown bag. There were also Styrofoam plates and plastic straws, wish there were more environmental-friendly products. Might be back for brunch if there's a dine-in option.

Everything was delicious, no weak dish in the bunch. The meatballs and falafel especially stood out, but honestly the whole table was clean by the end. We also tried the Fig Old Fashioned and the Hafizz Spritz. The Fig Old Fashioned was the standout of the night: bourbon sweetened with fig cordial and warmed with Angostura bitters. Perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and dangerously easy to drink. The Hafizz Spritz was refreshing too, cucumber, lime, and mint with gin, prosecco rosé, and elderflower, but the Fig Old Fashioned is the one I'm already thinking about ordering again. Great first visit. Will be back for social hour again.

Upon entry into Joon's, you immediately see the cuteness and chicness of the establishment. Joon also immediately exudes warmth and intimacy. We started our taste journey off with the Lamb & Pistachio Meatballs which were absolutely delectable. Then, we had the Grilled Seasonal Vegetable Hummus paired with their delicious Naan, which was very hard to stop eating. For my main dish, I decided to go with one of the dishes recommended by the waitress, which was the Lamb Shoulder Pave. Tasting my dish, I easily recognized why it was recommended. I also took the opportunity to sample some of my friend's Chelow Rice, which I wasn't a fan of. It was too crunchy for my liking. For dessert, we shared the Persian Love Cake, which was exactly what we needed to end the night. Not too sweet, just simply enjoyable. As it pertains to parking, there is plenty of parking with the option for valet. Needless to say, I'm glad I have a go to Persian restaurant nearby for any future cravings.
