I needed a place to enjoy some coffee while I did some work, and this place was great! It has plenty of seating and a really nice ambiance. I had the oolong milk tea and an earl grey scone, which were both delicious.

Do not go here hungry. I ordered a bacon egg breakfast sandwich and got a biscuit with a couple bacon slices. Biscuit is about the size of a canned biscuit and the poached egg was the size of a grape. I didn't know eggs could be that small. It is counter service tipping strongly encouraged which I don't always dislike but for $17 it left a bad taste. Not going to lie the sandwich was tasty but it is a snack only. The staff is pleasant and nice.

Very popping place for snacks and coffee. The chai, like many places, was a complete letdown.... I don't blame them I guess... They don't understand what chai actually is. The sandwich was small but tasty. The staff are friendly. The little buzzer things don't work as well.

Terrific local Coffee Shop / Cafe. We had two different breakfast sandwiches (Spinach/Mushroom/Poached Egg and Bacon/Cheese/Poached Egg). Both were great. Good coffee. Great atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Have been here 2 times, twice for brunch - good food and coffee, delicious pastries, nice vibe.
I was very happy with my decision to stop by here before a performance at The State Theatre. I have a lot of food restrictions and not only did they already have options for me, but they were also able to accommodate a couple of swaps so I could stay compliant to my diet. I was with 3 others and we were all very happy with our selections which were all very different. My husband got a steak and was thrilled that they actually served it as he ordered ( rare). I had the brown rice/chick pea bowl with avocado (YUM) and my friends had pizza. Will definitely come here again!!! Sorry that I did not take photos! My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the ambience which is what it is ( it's not really a sit down restaurant- more like a market) and I knew that going in. Loved the food tho.
Nice spot in Falls Church for weekend brunch. We went at a busier time but still got our order fairly quickly. Very nice menu selection and lots of in house made items. Would definitely recommend their breakfast sandwiches. Comes with a fantastic homemade roll for the bun. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Very cozy cafe vibe.

Very good place overall, but something that has been bothering me recently is the filter/house coffee. It's incredibly watered down. The coffee looks like tinted water and hardly has any flavor. This may be because I'm getting my coffee around noon (I've been there in the mornings and it tends to be thicker plus I appreciate the bottomless mug) but still, I'd expect a solid house coffee before 2 or 3 and not something that tastes like the grounds have been filtered 2-3x. So please guys, load that filter up even a bit after the morning joe rush. They tend to have forty-six (i think by Counter Culture Coffee) and a featured single-origin, both of which, when there's more than a 1 to 50ish coffee to water ratio, are very good.As for the food, the bakery items are delicious and varied. I like the smoked smoked salmon and egg breakfast sandwich. Just be prepared for the hardly-cooked egg to explode in your face, so either press down on it first and it'll saturate your sandwich (if that's your thing) or try to get them to at least cook it medium. I asked twice and they did so once. I didn't mind that much, though, and the bun was worth it. Also I'd probably suggest having the chocolate croissant's filling more spread out rather than two slightly narrow and hard lines that feels kind of shrinkwrapped-style.Not a super diverse crowd but that comes with the territory--similar to the demographics of the Falls Church City in which it resides, maybe a little more (btw this is not to be confused with the broader "Falls Church" address within Fairfax County which is significantly more diverse). To compare with nearby Rare Bird Coffee Roasters, this is more establishment (NoVa style) meets new--and very cool nooks and crannies with a rustic vibe, complete with three charming outdoor spaces on three levels. Meanwhile, Rare Bird is more minimalist, with a yuppie (generally more diverse) crowd lined up quietly tapping away on their laptops, super nice hipster staff, plus some neat plants and paintings. Northside Social is, as the name suggests, more in twos or small business meetings. Northside is more of a restaurant whereas rare bird is more of a pure coffee shop, though the bakery items are delicious and the morning bread is healthy and filling.Now this has become more of a dual review, but since you may be looking into both, hopefully that's a little helpful. ☕Wheelchair accessibility: has easy to access ramp with gentle slope
