Haraz is a beautifully decorated, large Middle Eastern-inspired coffee house where couples and…read morelarge groups come in to relax and chat while sipping on strong, delicious coffees and eating comforting pastries. I saw Haraz on Instagram right around the time they opened, and the photos and videos of the interior and the food are spot on. The designers knew exactly what they were doing with the color pallet, lighting, and furniture to design an open, welcoming, and relaxing space reminiscent of the Middle East. You order at the counter either through a tablet or with an employee, and if there is a line you get a few extra moments to gaze into their pastry display that also features my favorite pistachio milk cake. It makes a lovely, light dessert or midday treat. Another pastry-specific highlight is their bee bites. It looks like a bubble waffle but is a toasted bread with cream cheese and honey. They are busy pretty much at all times of day and on the weekends especially. Morning coffee, early afternoon, and even late at night with large groups hanging out and enjoying coffee. Haraz is a chain/franchise, but they know what they're doing to make it feel local and like something special. They employees are always polite, patient, and helpful.

The coffee was good, and the interior is beautiful, but the croissant was extremely disappointing. It had very little filling, and what little was there barely tasted like almond.

Absolutely obsessed with De Clue Coffee -- this place is a total gem in Fairfax! From the moment…read moreyou walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe just wraps around you like your favorite cozy sweater. The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!

The Fairfax…read morelocation is not any different from their other ones in terms of menu options for both food and drinks. From my experience, this location does tend to get less busy than say Reston. And that is where my gripe is. They are suuuper slow. You literally have to wait by the coffee bar for your hot drink, otherwise it'll be barely warm by the time someone actually bothers to bring it to you. Also, the taste of the drink will vary a lot from one barista to another. My biggest issue with this location is I have witnessed managers being lazy and not helping out when they're busy. This one lady manager will literally stand there taking pictures of the desserts display instead of helping out. What a shame! Mist employees at the register are usually friendly, hence the 3-star review.

This morning I saw a "coffee" sign in the retail complex I was in - in Fairfax Station - so I went in to grab some more caffeine after breakfast - turns out it is a "29th Parallel Coffee." Apparently the location that used to be in Fairfax City - up and relocated to Fairfax Station - since my original 2015 review is attached to this business listing. It feels smaller on the inside compared to the previous location. I ordered a large cold brew with Half n' Half. I guess they were out of translucent cups - as the cold brew was served up in a paper cup. There is are a few small tables inside, and free WiFi for those needing to do some work. Cold brew was pretty good overall. Paid with Apple Pay. #29thParallelCoffee

The prices may seem higher than other coffeeshops, but that's can be expected in the heart of Fairfax. Overall, a great coffeeshop that I love to frequent when I'm in the area.
