Simona has been my favorite coffee shop for years, and in my opinion, it's one of the best cafés in…read moreArlington. I absolutely love the atmosphere, the service, and everything on the menu. They've built an amazing community around the café, and there are always great events happening. If I had one piece of feedback, it would be consistency. I've noticed that during busy hours, when one of the more experienced baristas is working, the coffee is always excellent. During quieter hours, though, the quality can vary depending on who's making it. I completely understand that every barista has a different level of experience, though I'd love to see a more consistent cup of coffee. The other thing is the Wi-Fi. I'm not sure why, but it often becomes unreliable, especially when sitting outside, which can make it difficult to work. That said, these are really MINOR things. I love Simona, and I'll happily keep coming back.

I actually really liked this place! Simona Cafe is clearly a gem. I was looking for a cute cafe in…read moreVirginia for my friend and me to grab breakfast, and I stumbled across this spot without realizing just how popular it was. We went on a weekend and the line was literally out the door. Shout out to online ordering because we were able to grab a table and place our order online instead of waiting in that long line. From ordering to getting everything, it took about 20 minutes, maybe a little longer, which honestly wasn't bad considering how busy they were. The matcha was great, and I really enjoyed the avocado toast. I'm also glad we were able to grab a table because this place definitely fills up quickly. Parking can be a little challenging, but overall, this is such a cute spot to grab breakfast, catch up with a friend, and enjoy a good matcha. I would definitely come back.

The Coffee is Legit & The Name....Say's it All!…read more I stumbled on this to this place while taking a break from work and a walk outside to get some fresh air. It is relatively new and located across the street from the Starbucks here in Virginia Square. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered an amazing iced latte called the 'Three Waves' that have flavors of macadamia nut and hints of coconut & caramel that had my taste buds flying all over the place! I customized it by adding dark chocolate which paired well and heighten the flavor profile. The coffee itself was bold, strong, just like I like it and overall not too sweet. The price point was great too. It was the perfect fix and afternoon boost. The shop is small but has lots of souvenirs and select Hawaiian coffee beans to choose from and take home. The menu is full of coffee, items, smoothies, and variations of coffee drinks that can be prepared cold, frozen or hot.. I left this place buzz and completely satisfied....with a great energy kick to make it through the rest of the day. Thanks, To such a great experience and delicious cup of coffee, I also bought a bag of Kona expresso beans to bring home. I'm so glad this place has opened up here and so close to work. The customer service is excellent and the /barista was very helpful. With such a large menu and many choices, flavors, and combinations to choose..... They were great and helping me navigate the menu and offered up. Excellent suggestions. This place is a huge improvement from the once Dunkin' Donuts store that was located here. Will definitely keep this place on repeat and have to come back to try some of the many other great looking menu items! Two thumbs up & I recommend you make a stop here for a delicious coffee experience.

Finally went to detour coffee and the pistacchio latte is so good. They use pistacchio milk which…read moreis different from other ones I've had in the area as I believe the other use whole milk. I also got the falafel smashburger. I felt there was a lot of bun compared to the filling. The food menu was extensive and seem to switch up often so I'll try something else the next time I go but think I'll stick with the pistacchio latte. Space overall was very nice but fills up fast. Would be a nice place to catch up with friends. Street parking is probably the better option rather than trying to find parking in front of the shop as it is very limited

I fell in love with them while visiting BMore's Cafe Dear Leon and wanted to find a local place offering them...and Yelp led me to Roggenart Bakery. In addition to ordering a Crookie, I ordered a small beet salad, cheese Danish and a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I am completely hooked. Everything was so fresh and tasty and I now have a new "go to" spot for my breakfast fix. I have raved so much about Roggenart that my friends and colleagues are now ordering. The customer service is excellent. Even though I have used UE for most of my orders, my packaging is always done well. Nothing is squished or dripping. Can you imagine having beet juice everywhere?!? Also, my co-worker has visited to pick up our order and she said it's very clean and smells amazing. Don't hesitate to order. You won't regret it. Happy eating!!!!

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

I think they need to work on either adding more sweetener or increasing the sweetness of their beverages. There was only 1 cashier and person was who was doing all the multi-tasking, but because of it, it made me learn that it took the employee almost 20 minutes to make coffee. It's a small cafe nestled with a lot of variety to choose from.

I sat on the booth side by the wall and was not near an outlet. It was quite chilly even though it wasn't sweltering outside, so I'm glad I brought a jean jacket. Music was playing but it wasn't too loud. Stayed for a couple of hours. There was plenty of foot traffic but not enough to be disruptive. There was one restroom, which was clean. The baristas were pleasant as they helped other customers. I was going to order seltzer water, but they had it on tap (along with plain water) so it was free. I also ordered an iced tea to support the establishment. It was refreshing and I didn't even add anything to make it sweet. I would return here to work if I needed to, especially because I like the area (even though parking is mostly paid street spots), but plan on continuing my quest for the perfect coffee shop/remote work vibe.

I was sitting down inside and the ambiance was very nice and quiet, and I have super sensitive hearing, I can hear things very clearly, I heard this one guy working there and it sounded to me like he was harassing one of the girl workers there, she seems very young, it was very concerning and honestly kinda weird and disturbing to hear this guy say this at work. Not very professional like, I would suggest talking to this guy or firing him. If I was working there and this guy said this to me, I would quit. Then another time I was there and he was being rude to a customer, this was on a Sunday and one again I was there just sitting and I was witnessing it. Other than that; everything else was amazing.

I've had the pie and coffee before and loved. But the other items are new. I'll start with the McLovin: it's incredible! All the flavors work together nicely. The buttermilk biscuit is nice and fluffy and the sausage is well seasoned and egg was cooked to perfection with some melty cheese! The PB Cup in and blanket was yummy too!
