50 Best Coffee Shops near Fort Belvoir

“The lemon blueberry flap Jack's were amazing at brunch today.I'm looking forward to fish fry Monday nights.The entire staff was delightful and playing with my grandson so sweet.Parking: There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant and an entrance from that parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: There are wheelchair spots in the back of the restaurant.“

“No-frills, Cafe V is run by kind people who efficiently make you your coffee. Enjoying more sweet drinks, I enjoyed the large honey cinnamon latte. Within minutes, it was ready at the bar on a Sunday morning. The space is very practical with plenty of tables. My latte was over $7, which seemed a little expensive, but everything is these days.“

“Coffee In is such a lovely little coffee shop! Very clean and cutely decorated. Love that they had a highchair for our baby. The coffee is tasty and they have a pretty wide selection to choose from. The waffles are AMAZING, as is their customer service. We really enjoy this place and so glad they opened. We will be returning :)“

“This is one of the best coffee shops in Alexandria. The staff is very considerate and friendly. The shop was very busy when I went there with my friends but still the two young ladies in the staff were very patient with us and helped us select the right coffee and dessert for us.“

“What an awesome, cozy spot, especially if you want to be away from a big crowd but still enjoy good food and drinks. We had a great conversation with the owner and workers. Everyone was friendly and had great customer service skills. Oh, the bourbon selection is awesome!“

“My daughter and I stopped by to see the cats while we were on vacation. Normally, an appointment is encouraged on the weekends, but we were able to go see the cats anyways! The cat room was beautiful! You can tell all of the cats are well taken care of and enjoy human interaction. I cannot recommend this place enough. Next time I am in town I will definitely have a drink and bite to eat as well!“

“The ambiance of this cafe first drew me in, it's clean, modern, and relaxing. The food and service keep me coming back. The blueberry pancakes are incredible! FULL of blueberries. The avocado toast is the perfect portion size, I feel full and satisfied without being stuffed. The baked goods are delicious, and always fresh. The coffee drinks are exceptional, as well.The service is polite and quick. It's so awesome to see an interesting mix of customers enjoying an elevated, quick breakfast, and the incredible amount of take out orders this business handles.I love taking people from out of town here - everyone raves about how cute the cafe is, and how good everything was.“

“The empanadas are very delicious, I really liked the spinach and cheese one, but the meat one was also very tasty, and their sauces were very good. The place is very nice, it has a couple of swings to take photos, instagrammable. It is very clean. The girl who served us mmm normal.“

“Check out the Arlington location for this coffee shop on first street. Buried in the middle of a pleasant and very green suburban neighborhood, La Coop is a great place to work inside or outside on wrought iron chairs in a quaint plaza. Worthy of note are the real comfortable chairs with padding either at the coffee bar or at your own individual table. You aren't bruising your fanny on hardwood like at a library. Hello upholstery! For those that want to bury themselves by the sugar and the (eco-friendly straws), there's a second little wooden coffee bar overlooking the window that looks out into the parking lot. I also like that you also don't have to beg for wifi. The password is provided on a nice little sign by the door with a happy face sign. Staff are super nice too.“

“Prices are good, coffee drinks are delicious and service was friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating, both in the front room and the back. Looked like some outdoor seating as well. If you're a tea drinker, you'll be in tea heaven. So many options!!!“

“Dok Khao Thai Eatery is great food, full stop. All the usual Thai staples, plus some very delicious chef's specialties. The interior is just fancy enough if you feel like "doing it up", or casual enough that you don't feel underdressed in T-shirt and jeans. Highly recommended.“

“Old Town Alexandria can be a tourist trap if you don't know where to go or access to the local-"in crowd" on where to go. I myself would confess to being a zombie tourist if it were not for all the crowd-sourced reviews and convenient map search features. This long-winded review intro is meant to steer you off-the-beaten-path, away from touristy stuff, and see what little shops lurk in the edges off *streets of royalty* ( ahem, I meant look at what's out there beyond King Street, Prince Street, or Duke Street ).And in the case of Casa Rosada Gelato, you would literally walk pass it given recent construction that forces the relocated front entrance to be hidden deep off some loading bay alley (the pictures says it all). The alleyway is almost 25 paces off the main street and there are no signs except for some Casa Rosada icon on paper taped to a plywood board where the front entrance would be. Had to band up with a visiting family of 5 to go gelato hunting for the front entrance. It's especially scary at night and yet so fun too given how dark the entire surrounding intersection block is with no cars or people in sight. But the gelato is good - way better than the throw-back-themed ice cream chain shops that promise to top sweetened air-filled cream (ie. normal ice cream) with rainbow covered sugar that's meant to distract you from all the air you are buying in your ice cream. With most gelato classic flavors available, we opted to go 'off-the-beaten-path' theme and go for walnut and madeira wine gelato. Tasting both flavors mixed was a symphony of flavors I doubt you can find anywhere else in this Old Town.“

“This is one of my absolute favorite spots to grab breakfast. My go to is their avocado toast and I add smoked salmon on top. It always tastes so fresh and delicious. I also enjoy their mocha latte. The ambiance is very cozy and inviting with the loveseats in both of the dining areas along with the French cafe music playing through the speakers. Sets a nice vibe. It's a great spot to bring your laptop and get some work done, then take a stroll along the water down the street. They also allow dogs which always brings a smile to my face when I see one.“

“Held my Monday meet up for my campaign for State Senate here this morning Such a beautiful venue adorned with sunflowers hanging from the ceiling! Their Nitro Cold Brew is great! Even the pup tried to take a sip ☺️ Visit www.Sophia4VA.com for our next coffee gathering!“

“I am visiting NOVA to house-sit for a friend while she’s on vacation, and needed a coffee ship while I’m here. I wanted to avoid the chains and go local. So I tried this one from a google search. INCREDIBLE. It’s so good and the bankers items are delicious. I have gone everyday since being here. They are very friendly and the line is long but moves very quickly. It’s just one of those fun little local things you have to try. I am hoping to move to DC in the next several months, and have this on my list of places to keep in my phone. 10/10!“

“I can highly recommend this place for bubble tea! Apart from having a good variety among the classics and great customization options, it’s clean and very cozy. It has fussball and old school gaming stations such as Pac-Man and NBA jam. I have been going here multiple times and it’s a great hang out spot where teenagers, young adults, and families like to go.“

“I love this bakery! Since, the first visit everything I have ever ordered has been fresh, well prepared and delicious! I love the teas, coffees, sandwiches and of course the dessert!! I travel out to them every year to get a cake on my birthday. That is how amazing they are.“

“Pleasant experience! A little cafe tucked in a corner of a shopping plaza. The employee greeted us with a smile as soon as we entered the cafe and answered questions we had about their special desserts...one of them was a delicious and crispy baklava. I tried the cardamom coffee, loved the spiced flavors combined with my baklava. Nice, quiet spot to have a relaxing morning with a smile on your face.“

“I just love this spot for a quiet place to work or read, or a nice spot to meet a friend for coffee or a casual lunch.Last week I had the Chicken Tortilla Soup twice and it is delicious. I even brought a quart home! I also had the prosciutto, goat cheese and apple sandwich on a baguette which was perfect.I have had lattes there often and always delicious.This week I brought home the chicken enchiladas from the market and the beef bolgogi - each meal generously fed two of us and was so delicious.The staff is always helpful, kind and attentive.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegetarian salads, fruit and more for breakfast options.Parking: If there in the morning, always easy to find parking in front on South WashingtonStreet (going against traffic). Parking requires using the Park Mobile App.Kid-friendliness: Always a slew of strollers at Mae's!“

“Really comforting ambiance and beautiful decor. We came on a regular Tuesday night and there were only two other groups in the cafe. Bingsoo was about $26 before tax and we thought it was a little pricey until they brought it out. Easily double or almost triple the size of bingsoos at other places and we had a hard time finishing it between two people!Black sesame bingsoo was creamy and had just the right amount of black sesame nuttiness. I'm a big fan of sesame and places usually don't add this much to their desserts, so I was pretty pleasantly surprised by how much sesame was in the bingsoo. Could have used more cornflakes but I can't complain.“

“A great, casual, local cafe and bakery with amazing pastries. We keep trying new things on the menu every time we go and everything so far has been delicious. There are good savoury and sweet options such as the smoked salmon croissant and the brioche donut. You can also grab whole cakes and small gifts if you’re entertaining at home.The staff have always been friendly and helpful whenever we have been there. The cafe has a laidback atmosphere - I often see people working or catching up in there.“

“Tiny coffee shop in the lobby of an office building. Full-service shop that also has some meals & snacks! There are tables in the streetside entrance which seems unheated in winter The lady running the shop is very lovely.Parking: Covered parking for the building.“

“This was such a cute little coffee social house. Staff is super kind and greet you with an Aloha when you walk in! They offer menu recommendations when you ask them and also provide free wifi for anyone who wants to study/work.These are the small business I love to support I hope others do the same. :)“

“I know rating the place 5 stars seems too good to be true, but I’ve been going to this donutchew since they opened last year and it’s really become one of my favorite places to go. The staff are super friendly and really care about the place, the food is super tasty and the drinks are my end of week treat after a long week of work. My personal favs are the mango and early grey donuts (when they have the early grey, they have some flavors on rotation every week). The tea is very tasty, black milk tea or the orange fruit tea are my go-tos, and the corn dogs hit the spot when you really need it. I’ve spent hours sitting in there and studying as I eat and drink, and I’ve never felt awkward even when I’m the only one in the store. Many outlets for laptops, always seating available. Very chill atmosphere to those looking for a small space to get some work done. I always take my friends here and recommend it to everyone!!“

“I am thrilled to share my experience with Tango Pastry, a true gem in the world of pastries and delicious treats! From the moment you step into their café, the ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting to savor their delectable pastries. Tango Pastry's dedication to delivering top-notch quality and excellent service is evident. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to guide you through their mouthwatering selections. I can't wait to join them for their Grand Opening! I highly recommend Tango Pastry to anyone seeking a delightful pastry experience. Trust me; your taste buds will thank you, and you'll be eager to return for more of their scrumptious delights.“

“Used to really like this place but we were denied seating on the patio unless we had a dog. We have two young children and it is much easier to manage them outside and there was no one else out there. Thanks for the quick respons Sisters at Old Town North Alexandria you guys have been one of our favorite places and I hope we can visit again in the future.“

“My favorite coffee house in national landing! Great for getting your cup; great for getting a great and strong cup; and great people and leadership! Skylar has done so much to make this a success and I am so proud of them! The team is also fantastic! I’m so excited to see Brij grow and so glad to have been here from the start!“

“Amazing Coffee with Pure Coffee Shop Vibes. Misha's is located right in the heart of beautiful Old Town Alexandria and offers amazing flavors for any occasion. A great place to meet friends, study, work... whatever. Definitely one of my favorite cups of coffee in DC. A must.“

“Very small homey, little restaurant, where everybody seemed to know everyone else. The waiters were all very nice and welcoming as well. It took a while for the food to come out and for the them to get us a check, but that's to be expected at such a small spot. I got the breakfast plate with a fish cake, potatoes, and scrambled eggs. The food wasn't amazing per se, but it was decent, and well cooked. I tried my mom's scrapple, and that was probably the best thing there. Overall, the restaurant had a very welcoming homey type vibe, and the food fit the restaurant.“

“Really great food - they have really yummy breakfast sandwiches which are always hot off the panini press. They have just really great baked goods too, beautiful cakes and cupcakes and then also traditional bakery items like croissants, cookies, etc - which are all insanely delicious. I think I've tried about everything from Buzz at this point and can say the food and coffee is fantastic. It's also a really great work environment so I come here to work from my laptop pretty often. The tables in the back facing the entrance are great - there is great lighting there for zoom meetings and it's never too loud in there.“

“I visited Origin Coffee Lab and was impressed with the fantastic coffee and excellent food. The shop has a very friendly staff and a great vibe. I will visit anytime I am in Arlington and want good food and to satisfy my coffee fix. What a great place.“

“I love everything about this place... The atmosphere is bright and airy, the staff very friendly, the Nutella cookie to die for, AND the commitment to US veterans is simply beautiful. I will definitely be back, and am telling my friends and family members about it.“

“Had a delicious lunch today at Beeliner Diner. Great burgers with waffle fries. I usually don’t like waffle fries but these had a seasoning on them and I really enjoyed them. Friend got the Cobb salad and she loved it. Manager greeted us, thanked us for coming and did their menu will be expanding. They’ve done a great job on remodeling the space! It’s a breath of fresh air. we’ll definitely go back.“

“I love this hidden spot! When I need to focus on projects I come here. The him in the air from people around and the great vibe is welcoming to me. I usually drink their tea and have their pastries which comforting. I will say sometimes their music is super loud so it can be distracting to some. They also have chargers pretty much everywhere so they are catering to people like me and I never feel rushed or pushed out. Love them!“

“Thanks to Tracye McQuirter of By Any Greens Necessary for recommending this Ethiopian Cafe to me. The sign on the store says Bethel Cafe. I ordered the Vegetarian Platter. THEE VERY BEST! Friendly staff and accommodating. I will be venturing out to Arlington, VA on occasion just to come here.“

“Truth be told, I can drink a boba beverage all year round, but when the weather starts to get warmer my consumption increases.I ordered a large brown sugar milk tea with boba and sea salt milk foam.The standard sweetness level starts at 50%, so if you want more or less just customize the drink to your tastebuds“

“Absolutely amazing customer service and quality of food. They are accommodating for dietary restrictions and were very helpful talking to me about gluten free options. They offer GF toast and are accommodating to warm it up separately from other bread and wearing gloves to avoid cross contamination. 10/10 experience hereDietary restrictions: Gluten free bread available“

“Drove up to try their Nitro brew. Solid pour and look but the coffee lacks any real flavor. I drink my coffee black and enjoy a strong cup of coffee. I understand the nitro lessens the bitterness but if this was a blind taste test I'm not sure I'd even guess it's coffee. Let the adventure for great nitro continue.“

“Stopped by here with my sister and ordered a pork and cheese popusa and the Guatemalan style steak, which came with Pico, avocado, rice, beans, 2 tortillas, and a cheese whose name eludes me but was delicious. Everything was fantastic. The portions were generous, the tortillas were made in house and delicious, and the steak was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. All together, it was about $20 which was a bargain for the quantity and quality. Our waitress was super sweet and the atmosphere is great. I will be coming back. I've been to tons of south American places and I can say this is one of my favorites. I will definitely be coming back“

“It's a bubble tea place, not much else to say. Practically speaking I believe it to be the best in the area, and also one of the better deals too. They have some food options too but I haven't sampled any of them. They are open late which is nice for a late night treat / hangout. The shopping center it's in gets busy at all hours so sometimes parking can be annoying, but I've never not found a spot.“

“Due to the rave reviews, my husband and I stopped to check out this place before getting back to our state. I'm not a coffee drinker, but am learning about coffee and most, I do not like. It is true! Our café lattes are delicious and very smooth! This is one of only two coffee shops where I would return.“

“Tried the New Orleans Style Coffee Milk Tea and I liked it. It was a unique combination, mixing coffee and milk tea, which offered a refreshing change from the usual boba flavors. I also appreciated their everyday promotion of Buy 4, Get 1 free. They tend to give a bit more ice than other places, so keep that in mind.“

“the sales staff here is great. I spent a lot of time "talking tea" with one of the sales team members. he took the time to learn my particular tastes for tea and then very patiently assisted me in selecting 4 exceptional teas. awesome customer service!“

“Loved the ice cream. It was extremely good. The dessert is well worth its price. The people are super friendly, the place is clean and organized. I enjoyed the friendly and welcoming atmosphere this place gave me and my friends. I encourage you to come buy some of this Gelato and ice cream.“

“I hosted my weekly "Coffee Klutch" meet here this morning on behalf of my campaign for State Senate and the ladies of Old Town had a fabulous time! The decor is so pretty and the sweets are delicious! Thank you so much for hosting us! Please visit my website to see where we will be each week! www.sophia4va.com“

“This is an amazing little pastry shop!Best blueberry muffins I have ever had!Full of berries!Had a sandwich also that was excellent!There was a line out the door when I left!So I stopped back by for some blueberry muffins, they were all sold out by 930 am!Those muffins are starting to get a reputation for amazing!“

“Fantastic classic coffee shop with plenty of Ryba spread out. Outdoor seating available. The kind lady at the front was very helpful as we navigated the baked good selection and we both learned the difference between vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. Although I’m not entirely sure when chocolate chip cookie became so complicated but the gluten free one was delicious! Cappuccino was great quality.“

“A local favorite! Spartans is one of those places that makes you feel like home when you go there. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Spartans doesn't disappoint.If you go for breakfast, I highly recommend the Stuffed Challah with Cream Cheese as you won't be hungry for the rest of the day. Enjoy!“

“I stopped by recently and was helped by Margarita. She gave me the best experience! She walked me through the menu, explained her favorites, and taught me how to make a rewards account! I ordered the Strawberry Passion smoothie and it was amazing! I highly recommend South Block Old Town and make sure you say hi to Margarita. Bill W.“

“I order two pounds of coffee a month from Beanetics. They have a wide selection of beans from around the world and it's fun trying different options. Their website is easy to use and picking up locally is a breeze. Support your local coffee roaster!“
