I am kicking myself for not trying three whistles sooner. I live and work close by, but I always forget about it. The food and drinks are amazing and the vibe is superb! My friend and I had shrimp skewers and Brussels Sprouts. I had a grey lady no. 3 and my friend had an espresso martini. We both really enjoyed our choices and will definitely come back! I would love to WFH here one day. I would love to try the Brightwood location! read more

Three Whistles - Espresso martini and Grey Lady No. 3-super delicious! - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

What an absolutely cute spot in Arlington! A great place for a drink, a bite, socializing, and/or working. There is ample seating. One of the main draws for me is how cute and aesthetically pleasing Three Whistles is! I just love those vibes. And the drinks are great. Only reason I have 4 stars instead of 5 is because I'm gluten free, and there were very limited options for me to eat. In 2026 - let's keep working on GF options for people! read more

A unique cafe with the concept of creating an all-day coworking and solcializing space. So it served breakfast, lunch and dinner. So it had many different functional areas, such as (purely) dining area, sofas, high-tops, open working areas, and even private working stations with doors! You can also reserve the space by emailing them. I went there for a breakfast after running a half in a hot morning. The cafe allows DIY sandwich so I could do a high-carb breakfast. DIY-ed a sourdough sandwich BLT without bacon, and a Mozarella grilled cheese bagel, and a side of fruit (grapes) and a cup of Ginger Peach Green Tea. The idea of the bagel sandwich actually came from the staff and surprisingly it was great! I wish the sourdough and bagles were larger, though. The grapes were not fresh. The tea had a hint of peach, but I could barely taste the flavor of ginger. Maybe I asked for lots of ice so it was diluted? read more

My favorite Arlington, VA hang-out, Really hip atmosphere with a friendly Arab-American vibe. Great open-mike venue twice a week, with some fine musicianship. The place has been upgraded with the additon of a kitchen and the arrival of a locally heralded Jamaican-born chef, Sameer. Sameer rocks. Every item on the menu is exquisitely prepared to perfection, and tasty. From the hummus dip and bratwurst to the chicken tenders and flank steak. And try the desserts --crepes! https://www.three-whistles.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/3-Whistles-Dinner-Menu-2-2-2026.pdf This place is a gem and growing fast, Irwin, the manager, is to be congratulated, for fostering Three Whistles expansion and for helming the entire operation. Kudos read more

Spacious area for work/study, lots of plants and parking was a breeze. Not super busy and no line on a Sunday. The girls at the front were so sweet and patient while I ask a million questions. I wasn't mad about spending $15 on a beet root latte and an egg and cheese bagel! The latte was so pretty pink and balanced well with a splash of vanilla syrup. My bagel sand was piping hot and the cheese was nice and gooey. After eating you'll have to bus your own table. Great place. read more

Not sure how to rate my past experiences with Three Whistles but it shouldnt discourage you either. The first time around we were in search for some good coffee in the area. We tried their vanilla lattes with soy and oat milks, it was just average. We did however, enjoyed the big work space and free wifi! The second time we visited it was for some dessert. We tried their gelato and it tasted pretty fresh! So def try if youre in the area! read more

After a nearby dentist appointment for my seven-year-old daughter, I treated her to breakfast at Three Whistles. From the outside, it looks small, but it's not. After you order, walk to the attached room where there's plenty of tables and outlets. It's a co-working space too so there's a quiet section for paying members. The food menu is large with authentic empanadas, muffins, croissants, and more. We enjoyed the Chilean empanada with ground beef, the chocolate muffin, and the chocolate croissant. To drink, I got the pumpkin spice latte and my daughter got water from the free water station. Service is friendly. read more

You can order your drinks at the table via a qr code and pay on your phone. Drinks come out quick and is more on the affordable side. I got the mint iced mocha, pretty decent, nothing overpowering. Total before tip was $5.57. Limited parking as it's street parking only, unless you want to park in the garage. read more

I always love three whistles! They were slammed the day I came, but the baristas were still very kind and quick with all of the orders. I would've expected it to be closer to a 20 minute wait for my coffee given how busy they were, but they really had everyone's orders out as quick as possible! The working area is awesome for remote workers or students, and the vibes are always chill. read more

Small but cozy coffee shop that doubles as a co-working space The co-working portion (which requires a membership) is right next to the coffee shop portion, and it is honestly hard to differentiate between the two The space has a cozy feel to it, but a bunch of the furniture is pretty run Have a solid selection of coffee options + a few pastries. I tried a "turtle latte" and a "vanilla coffeecake muffin". The latte was solid, and the muffin was huge and delicious. The barista was very unfriendly read more

This coffee shop has had many looks over the 6 years I've been going. At its high point, it was a mix of (1) white collar 20-30 somethings who need to get out of their small condos/apartments to crank out a little bit of work on their laptops, (2) first dates with young ambassadors confidently proclaiming the obvious solutions to wealth inequality and international conflicts, and (3) WASPY homeowners with kind of entitled, but generally cute and well-behaved children. I was part of cohort number 1, but that share must not be paying the bills. The late night, workplace coffee shop is no more, and they are now reserving about 3/4 of the seating area, which so far is generally empty, exclusively for dining experience. I assume the know what they are doing, but I won't be back. It's been a good run, and I wish them the best with their new target clientele. read more

We have been going to Three Whistles for over a year, mostly on Friday or Saturday mornings to grab pastries and lattes, and occasionally on a evening for their gelatos. Buddha (I think he's the head barista) is highly skilled with latte art and he has always been very welcoming! They have a stamp card system too so it's another perk for regulars. read more

Three Whistles - Chilean Beef Empanada, Honey Lavender Latte - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

See all

I would highly recommend the hot Honey Lavender Latte as a sweet specialty coffee option and the Jamaican beef empanada as a savory treat. I like coming here to work/study as there are so many different seating options. My biggest gripe is that the service has been on the slower side each time I've came here. This even resulted in my latte being forgotten and brought out nearly 35 minutes after ordering during my last visit. If the service improves, this is definitely an upper four-star establishment. **a note for people visiting for the first time (not a factor into my rating) is that you need to buy one item to for each device that you are looking to connect to the cafe's WiFi (ex. 2 items required for phone & laptop connection) read more

Three Whistles - Interior. Tons of seating. - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

TLDR: open to the public. Has a designated quiet zone but the whole shop is very quiet. Excellent for solo or partnered quiet work, but would not come here again for a meeting/to socialize. I chose this shop for a meeting with someone who works nearby. There was good seating for pairs and the coffee/tea options were plentiful. We both had Arnold Palmers at the suggestion of our very friendly and knowledgeable barista. She assured us that we could have a conversation at normal levels as long as we were seated outside the "quiet zone." While technically true, I did not feel comfortable the whole time we were talking. We were basically the only conversation in the crowded shop and it felt like you could hear a pin drop. I would absolutely stop in for the Arnold Palmer again and this would be an excellent location to get work done, but I won't choose it for a work meeting again. read more

One of my favorite cafes to work at in the Clarendon/Arlington area. The staff are incredibly friendly, their lattes are delicious, they have tables where one can stand at, plenty of plugs, fast Wifi, and organized activities at night. During the workday, it also acts as a co-working cafe, which requires an additional subscription to sit in that area. But there are a few seating options in the front of the store. I would also highly recommend their gelato and empanadas if one wants a late night snack or a midday treat! read more

While staying in Arlington for work I met up with an old friend to catch up with over coffee. Three whistles is the perfect location to do just that. There is plenty of seating to accommodate multiple sized parties, and very large store front windows letting in plenty of light. I went on a Monday and there were also a good amount of people in there quietly working from their laptops, I assume there is WiFi if that is something you are looking for. we got a cozy corner booth and when you order the staff will deliver your food and coffee to your table. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and a ham and cheese breakfast croissant. The coffee was pretty tastey, but nothing life changing. The hazelnut flavoring coming through was just the right amount not to over powering, and for my croissant was also equally delicious. They do theirs a little differently, the croissant itself is completely enclosed stuffed with ham and cheese. And there were plenty of other options if you are in the mood for something else. read more

My friend and I met up here for a coffee chat and wanted to order food as well. They only had the food in the pastry case available and the ice cream (or gelato? I can't recall). I guess the kitchen was closed? I'd stopped by once before for a coffee and empanada and I think the kitchen was closed then, too. Their Facebook page hasn't been updated since 2020 and their website has no indication that the kitchen is closed; the all-day menus are still on there. The coffee was fine, I also got an iced oat milk matcha latte with white chocolate syrup that was good. The spinach and cheese empanada was a little bland. Service is alright. read more

My favorite coffee shop in Arlington! This was the perfect place to romanticize essay writing on a Saturday morning! I love their iced honey lavender latte with oat milk, but they also have other coffees, teas, pastries, hot food, and gelato! The only con is that if you are not a member of their CoWork Cafe (fee associated), you are limited to seating at the front of the restaurant, so I'd recommend getting there earlier in the morning to secure a seat. I think the back space is open, however, after work hours so you can have access to more tables and couches in the evening. read more

Three Whistles - View from the front of the coffee shop - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The website is misleading. It seemed like the only way to gain seating is if you purchase their $20 day pass or have a monthly membership. Also the photos and explanation on the website looked more like a co-working space that happens to have food and coffee. Turns out this really is just a normal coffee shop with several tables for seating. You also do not need to purchase the day pass or have a monthly membership to use the space. If you decide to purchase the day pass, no food or drink is included. It felt like the pass was really only paying for the high speed Wi-Fi. They already have free Wi-Fi that can be used so it made no sense to purchase the pass in the first place. The website mentioned drinks would be discounted with the day pass but I still paid full price. Also I did not see any food items available other than some pastries. We ended up not staying as long and grabbed lunch nearby. Overall I was disappointed that we paid for a pass that wasn't needed. I could have walked in, ordered a coffee, sat at a table, done work and saved $20. That being said the coffee was good. I got an iced mint mocha latte which was made well and the barista was very friendly. I could see myself coming back but just to use the space as an actual coffee shop. read more

This is my go to coffee spot because they have free parking, staff is friendly, plenty of seating and outlets, and one of the only coffee shop that is open up late. Sometimes they even have live music playing or events going on. This place is a great for those remote working as they have a coworking space with printers and multiple telephone booth to take work calls or videos. I got the honey lavender latte and it's my go to drink. read more

I am not really sure how I feel about this place. The inside is really cool and a lot of great seating. I ended up trying the dirty chai latte and it was just not good. I want to say it was mainly the chai part that was not good. If the other items they have are actually good then I would say the whole vibe is a nice place to stop and chat or do some work. I would go back to give something else a try. read more

We waited over 20 minutes to get a seat and order down the street at another establishment and decided to walk around the area until we stumbled across this cafe. Even though I was charged for the wrong drink and the brought me something else, I would definitely come back here. It is very library-ish vibes. They have lots of seating and I even noticed they sell beers. It's interesting how they have gelato, empanadas, coffee and beer but it works for them. read more

I work about two blocks away and some coworkers had mentioned how good the coffee was. We have a Starbucks closer by, so I did not put too much attention until this morning when I tried it. OMG! Their coffee is legit. I can finally indulge in a real espresso without having to add a ton of syrups and milk to make the coffee bearable. I also had a muffin and it was divine. I later found out that they make them fresh and you can taste de difference compared to what you get at the mermaid place. This business will be seeing more of me. read more

DO NOT TRY TO WORK HERE!!! We came to work on our laptops since this place markets themselves as a co-working space. Since it was after 4pm, we were told that all tables were reserved for "dinner service". Most of the tables were empty since this isn't a place people come to for dinner. Since we couldn't find anywhere we were allowed to sit, we just left. read more

Favorite coffee shop in the area because I am obsessed with the decor. Only downside is when it gets too busy and there's no seating :( the tables themselves are a good size to spread out when doing work. There are also rooms in the back that you can rent out like a we-work space. read more

Generally, this is one of the best all around coffee shops in the area. Ambiance: (5/5) Great place to work. It is not very loud. Price: (4/5) Average around the area. I would say the smallest gelato being $3 is way too expensive. It is about 3 table spoons of gelato. Food: (5/5) I don't typically like mochas but this one wasn't too sweet or chocolate-ly. The caramel latte was also very good, not overly sweet. The empanadas are amazing! I've tried cheese and spinach, beef, and Caribbean. Service: (5/5) Food and drinks come out quick even if there is only one person working. read more

Food and drinks and atmosphere are fine, but every time I come here the music is unbearably loud. It's not even normal cafe music, it sounds like a club. The music is so loud it goes through my noise canceling earbuds and is incredibly distracting for a place that fashions itself as a coworking space. One time I was sitting here in the evening and the music was normal light jazz, but halfway through being on a phone call the baristas started blasting loud club and rap and I had to leave. read more

I'm visiting a friend from out of town and we decided to stop here after dinner for some dessert. She said they had great gelato and also described the environment as them "not being able to decide what they are" regarding them being a gelato shop, cafe, coworking space, music venue, etc. i immediately understood when walking in that she was spot on, it looks like a big cafe but they have gelato and some simple sandwiches and baked goods, but they also have a large coworking space in the back and had a musician in there playing (it was a Friday night). They had lots of options for gelato including vegan sorbets but I decided to go for the macarons since that's one thing I can't get in my current town. They were really well priced i though, 5 for $6, so I just got one of each flavor and they were all quite good! Obviously my experience here is limited but I'd definitely go back to try other things if I get the chance. read more

One of the big perks here is that they have a really nice interior (homey cafe vibes) to work in and they open pretty late (10 or 11 PM depending on the day) unlike most cafes in the area. This is a convenient place in Clarendon to grab coffee, pastries, gelato, etc. at any point of the day. HONEY FIG GELATO (KID SCOOP) - 3 I got this at around 8 PM and it was a great treat during my evening walk. I thought it was a bit too sweet, but the fig flavor is super prominent and reminded me of one of my favorite sandwiches that uses a delicious fig jam from a cafe in my hometown. I would definitely giving this gelato flavor a try if they have it! It's definitely very unique. Even though I went on a Monday evening, the cafe was pretty packed with people with lots of espresso/cafe drinks being ordered. read more

Was walking around Clarendon looking for a cafe on a cold, cold Saturday afternoon so curl up with a latte and do some weekend learning. We were about to go to Tatte, but the crowd was unbelievable. Outdoor and indoor seating packed. Not the spot today... We happened to bump into Three Whistles. It had such a cute earthy vibe and affordable macaron prices (lol) so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I'm so happy we stayed here for an hour. You get an hour of free wifi with an order of food and drink, and there's a ton of seating with electric outlets. Last but not least, I highly recommend their coffees. I ordered a honey lavender latte which is the first item on their coffee menu, and I HAD to try it -- sounded too interesting to pass up. WOW! The floral notes and the sweetness of honey paired with the warmth of the whole milk... probably one of the best drinks I've gotten at a cafe ever. It's like a hug in a mug, and I honestly could order 10 if my stomach would allow it. I will definitely be back. The service is also super great here - friendly baristas and they bring the drink to your table if you decide to stay. They also have a food and alcohol menu which looks amazing! I'm also eyeing on their affogato ($7) which is two shots of espresso and a scoop of gelato (yes they DO have gelato here WOO!) Can't wait to come back, Three Whistles. See you soon! read more
