What People Are Saying
from Google"Meanwhile Coffee, located at Woodland Park Crossing in Herndon, VA, offers a variety of seasonal specialty coffees, including Peppermint Brownie Latte and Gingerbread Cookie Latte. The cozy, quirky atmosphere features comic and pop art graphics in frames, toys, plants, board games, and more, along with comfortable seating, making it an ideal spot for remote work or relaxation. The cafe also serves locally sourced pastries and features a Christmas tree at the entrance, adding a festive, inviting touch. We sampled their drinks, which were excellent—the iced caramel latte was perfect, and the matcha latte demonstrated quality. However, the banana walnut muffin was sweeter than expected, almost like chewing on sugar, though it was warmed before serving. The service was friendly, but more baristas might improve wait times, as drinks took a while to prepare."
"A truly welcoming and cozy coffee shop with great attention to detail. The coffee is excellent, the equipment is top-notch, and the customer service is outstanding — warm, human, and genuinely caring. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a cup of coffee. I also noticed the shop is socially responsible and supportive of the community — they’re collecting gifts for children in need, which is really meaningful."
"Coffee fans, comic book fans , artist, and nostalgia fans! This cafe checks all of the boxes🥰. As soon as we stepped into the cafe I wanted to grab a comic book and seat. My son and I had the cafe au lait, Apple Jack, and mocha. I loved that the barista made the coffee for my drink fresh. It’s the perfect balance of milk and coffee. My sons loved their drinks too. Definitely visit this cafe!"
"I like this place. It is inviting and warm, and serves good coffee. The barista is nice and professional; she greets everyone when they walk in and gives recommendations if you ask. She is good at what she does, fast, and serves tasty coffee. I tried the latte and liked it just the way it was. The coffee shop itself is quiet, decorated nicely, and the bathroom is clean. They also provide free water on the counter. They were also helpful in fixing an issue using their loyalty program. This won’t be my last time here for sure."
"Love this place! This is a very community oriented coffee shop in Herndon. The vibes are great. There are board games you can play and they even offer plant swaps. This month is "inktober" so people are encouraged to create small ink drawings on post-it notes to display. The empanadas are always a great time and my favorite drink is the iced Brewed Butterscotch Latte. Highly recommend as a place to come hang with friends, draw, read a book, study, or catch up on work."
