"I stopped in for a flat white and it was excellent. Smooth milk, clear espresso flavor, balanced sweetness. It was good enough that I bought a bag of beans to take home. The shop is cozy and has plenty of options on the menu, but you can tell they focus on doing things correctly. Quality beans, well-dialed espresso, and staff who know their craft. Easy choice to come back when I am in the area."

"The owner’s behavior felt racist . I had a really unpleasant experience here. I’m a student, and I just stopped by to have a coffee and read for a bit. I ordered my drink and on my phone took a couple of photos while I was waiting, and out of nowhere, the owner came over and told me I couldn’t take pictures. Her explanation didn’t make any sense — something about people “leaking” photos — even though there are plenty of pictures of this place on Google Reviews. I’ve never been to a café that bans photos. What bothered me even more is that she only said this to me. I later saw another review from an Asian woman who had the same experience. As an Asian myself, I couldn’t help but wonder if that was the reason. The way she suddenly started saying how much she “likes Asians” felt defensive and made things even more uncomfortable. The coffee wasn’t anything special, the interior felt old and a bit dirty, and the owner’s attitude was just strange and unwelcoming. I’m definitely not coming back. Being rude to customers and telling them they can’t take photos for no reason felt unnecessary and discriminatory."

"This is an excellent find in Northern Virginia! The pastries and coffee were excellent. The staff were super nice and knowledgeable. The vibe and space were good for working, talking, and hanging out. My new favorite spot."

"I went here with my friend and it was such delicious coffee! However, I had asked if they do latte art, and was told they could. I wasn't sure if what I received was latte art or not...A bit of a let down, since I really love it and thought it was going to happen. I also ordered a cookie dough croissant as it looked delicious! But it was not something I particularly enjoyed, mainly because the croissant tasted dry and lacklustre. A very cute place though!"

"Delicious coffee, I recommend the Geisha pour over. They upgraded the interior seating area from just the upper room to a warehouse-inspired floor with beautiful rough-hewn decor and international coffee destinations. You can enjoy the smell of roasting coffee as you sit and converse with your friends."
