The latte itself was pretty well done! I wish it was little less sweet but other than that I would get again. They also had a blueberry muffin which was very interesting. Like idk if I can say if it was good or bad haha but overall fun experience. I just wish that the interior seating was a bit more comfortable but I liked this place. Oh and the service was pretty standard which is always preferred :) Like I would go here again but I would probably rather go to the middle eastern cafes.

Simply Social Coffee, located in the Fairfax Court shopping center, offers a warm, inviting…read moreatmosphere, complete with an electronic fireplace. 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.

Thank you for making us feel welcomed! Go support this local business!

Omg what delicious food!…read more Uptown Cafe is a small family owned business in a busy plaza with plenty of parking. The seating is a bit limited as it's a small place but I always order to go. But let me tell you this is some of THE BEST Food I've had in a looong time. It hits all the marks: fresh ingredients; perfect spicing, flavors and mixes; healthy options; tastes homemade because it is; and has a variety of food to choose from. I usually get the Caribbean Jerk Chicken bowl which is amazing because its individual components are just as tasty by themselves as they are complemented by each other in the bowl. It has grilled dark meat chicken which is packed with a unique jerk flavoring special to this place; I literally don't like chicken most of the time and especially have a hard time with grilled chicken, but at uptown cafe I would eat that chicken for every meal by itself that's how much flavor it has! Then it is complemented by house made pico de gallo (I always get extra) always fresh, seasoned white rice, corn, shredded cheese, grilled onions (I don't get these as I'm not a huge onion fan), lettuce, and homemade chipotle sauce that is particular to Uptown cafe (I haven't tried another like it) and so good it's addicting! To top it off they always have a soup of the day which is made from scratch. My favorite so far has been the vegetable dumpling soup which included carrots, scallions, onions and a tasty broth. They also have had tomato bisque, chicken noodle, chicken pho, and spicy chicken tortilla. They offer a range of other food items like salmon poke and beef bulgogi bowls, wraps, and breakfast burritos which I hope to try soon. They also have a huge variety of unique drinks and bakery items that change day to day. The portions are huge and definitely filling. I usually can't even finish my bowl by myself, so the value for the quality and quantity of food is excellent. The service is amazing as it's run by the sweetest owners who are always very kind and accommodating and truly care about you and your order. They always make my day with their smiles. TLDR: A small cafe with plenty of delicious food options and owners who make your day and truly care. Definitely try their Caribbean jerk chicken bowl and their homemade soups! I have been so obsessed with this place since I first went and go there at least once a week now. Their food is so good I literally crave it all the time!! Go, you won't regret it!

We also got a bunch of appetisers to try like the Causa Roll and Croquetas Caribeñas. Everything came out freshly made and all the sauces gave each dish an extra kick. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, and the decoration is very rural. They are able to move tables around in order to accommodate bigger parties which was nice.

We ordered the breakfast burrito, pancake combo, and waffle combo. The breakfast burrito was hot and well assembled. The eggs were fluffy, it was full of cheese, and I was able to substitute sausage for bacon. The home fries that came with it were soft, well seasoned, and DELICIOUS!! I was blown away by these. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The Belgian waffle was also good. The combos came with a small side of fresh and delicious fruit. We had an amazing server named Darlene. She was super friendly and funny, and very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend asking for Darlene when you come! The ambiance is super cool. It's like a farmhouse with a little groove!! Come check it out!

We stopped by Chloez Cafe for a working breakfast with several colleagues. Overall, I left with…read moremixed feelings. $100 for four adults was..excessive. The positives first: the restaurant is attractive inside, the staff was genuinely friendly, and the food itself was good. My chicken fajita omelet was flavorful, although it contained surprisingly little chicken. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their meals. Unfortunately, the pricing and constant add-on charges really overshadowed the experience. At $15 for an omelet, the prices are already toward the high end for breakfast. Then there are extra charges for things that feel like they should be included. Real maple syrup is an additional $1.50, and coffee was an eye-popping $4 per cup. Looking at our receipt afterward, it really felt like we were being nickel-and-dimed. The biggest surprise was the 3% credit card surcharge. In 2026, charging customers extra for paying with a credit card feels outdated. Very few people carry enough cash to cover a $100 breakfast meeting, so it comes across as another hidden fee rather than a genuine choice. One other odd thing I noticed was the floor. Whenever someone heavier walked through the dining room, the entire floor visibly bounced. It wasn't unsafe as far as I could tell, but it was noticeable enough to the table to be distracting throughout the meal. I wanted to like this place because the atmosphere, service, and food were all solid. But between the high menu prices, the extra charges, and the credit card fee, I left feeling like the value just wasn't there. Unless the pricing structure changes, I don't expect to return.
