Such a cute cafe with cozy vibes. The space is welcoming, clean, and perfect for catching up with friends or getting a little work done. I ordered the rose latte and it was amazing. Lightly floral, not overpowering, and perfectly balanced with the espresso. It felt unique but still comforting. I also tried the Davant latte which was, smooth. Service was friendly and quick. It gets pretty packed so may need to wait for a table. They also have outdoor seating read more

Been a while since I came here and it's still pretty good ! I got their butterscotch coffee with oat milk which was reallyyyyy gooood! They make their oat milk in house! It added a such a nice rich flavor to the butterscotch. My husband got the cream coffee wasn't great, I tried a sip I wouldn't get it again. Just a simple cold brew coffee with a cold foam on top. I didn't order food this time, but I've had their food and I really like it. It's a casual spot with some seating. read more

I saw a TikTok that said, "chef's kiss isn't good enough, I need to go back and make love to the chef." Yeah... this place is that for me. The creamy tomato soup is perfectly balanced; the right amount of sweetness, tanginess, and just a little kick. The thickness is spot-on, with small minced pieces that give it great texture without being chunky. The grilled cheese somehow has so much flavor for something so simple. Crispy, comforting, and done exactly right. The rose latte was a standout: not overpowering, not overly sweet, and you can still smell the rose subtle and elegant. The veggie on a wheat bagel tasted incredibly fresh and clean, like every ingredient actually mattered. Service was amazing, quick and clean. The space itself is simple, clean, and calm, the kind of place where you can actually get work done and lose track of time. I'm still thinking about this café, and honestly, it's probably the best one we've been to so far. read more

My husband and I went here on a whim on a Monday AM and were surprised to find it packed. Parking was easy due to its location in a strip mall. I was looking for a legit cappuccino and Cafein delivered! They had both cappuccino and "traditional cappuccino" (the difference being size aka volume of milk) and i could actually taste the coffee in my traditional cappuccino! My husband enjoyed his iced matcha latte, though we both agreed it tasted a little too sweet. Pastry selection was very sparse at 10:30. Our only complaint was that we didn't get reception and the WiFi wasn't working (though I appreciated that the password was on the table!). I don't think I'll make a point to return (it didn't have particularly cozy vibes), but if I were in the area I'd choose Cafein due to the quality. read more

Cafein is a busy cafe regardless of the time of the day you visit. I hate waiting for drinks when I just want caffeine on the go especially at a busy cafe like this. So I usually prefer ordering ahead of my arrival. Well, this cafe requires you to download their standalone app for such an occasion + make an account. I discovered this when I went onto their online website and just wish they allow web ordering in lieu of app download. My drinks were ready upon arrival but the pickup process was frustrating. I went to where people pick up their orders aka end of the counter. There was no cashier of sort at cash wrap. Stood there like an idiot with two baristas gawking at me fully aware I have been waiting for good 5 minutes. I finally spoke up after waiting and one of them told me "oh your order has been ready awhile ago but you just need to get it from the shelf near the cash register" WOWEE thanks for the letting me know after all this time! God knows how much longer I would have had to just stand there had I not spoken up! There was really no clear signage that I could see upon entering the cafe that there's a shelf full of to-go orders you pluck out. It was good to know for the next time but it was just UGH when you have jetlag and in a rush. I tried out 3 different drinks over the 5-days stay I had in the region and only liked one of them -- the iced London Fog Latte. It has a nice lavender tinged tea flavor that's slightly on the too sweet side of the spectrum. Too bad there's no option of adjusting the sweetness like picking 75% sweet when ordering online. The matcha latte looks pretty but it's chalky, weak, and too sweet. It almost tastes like I'm drinking straight up milk with green coloring to it. I don't recommend. Same with butterscotch latte. The name sounds enticing but it didn't taste much differently than a standard latte. So disappointing. All in all, I still prefer ordering my caffeine from a local small business like this but if I'm in SoCal, this would be a 2-star place with no chance of revisiting. Just with the unfriendly and snooty customer service + having to download an app + mediocre $$ drink makes it a NO. read more

I came here with a pretty big group and there was generous seating and fast/kind service. I got the smoked salmon/cream cheese/onions with everything bagel (LOX bagel) and thought it was pretty delicious :) I didn't really try any drinks, but heard that their davant coffee is tasty and popular and may try next time. While I was here the lights all briefly went out..but overall had a great experience. Like another reviewer mentioned the oat milk seems to be made in house and the food tasted fresh and yummy. read more

I came here kind of close to closing time. I got the butterscotch iced latte. Be sure to get some of the top layer of the butterscotch with every sip and I swear you'll think the world is a better place. It was delicious. I wasn't hungry so I didn't try anything else but definitely adding this to my list of coffee spots when I come back. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops! Love the atmosphere at CAFEIN. The coffee's great and the employees are super friendly! Lots of seatings and they play great music. It's a nice place for hanging out with friends, reading, or getting your work done. Tried one of their specialties, the Honey Cinnamon Latte and it's so good! They served it in a mug, which is always a plus and extra cozy! Can't wait for my next visit! read more

Came for a quick breakfast and was really surprised by their food. The ham and cheese croissant was pretty standard but their breakfast sandwich was really good! It had avocado, red onions and a wasabi mayo that went really well with the sausage and egg! Their coffee was pretty good as well - typical flavored lattes that you can find at most places. Solid cafe with more food options than most! Entrees: Sausage Breakfast Sandwich and Ham and Cheese Croissant Drinks: Rose and Vanilla Latte read more

I finally got to try Cafein and it was even better than I expected. I had the honey cinnamon latte, which is one of the best lattes I have ever had. The latte had so much flavor. I also had the sausage egg and cheese on brioche. The sandwich was delicious and hot. We weren't able to eat our food at the location since all the tables were occupied. If you are going, I'd recommend going earlier, we went at about 11:30 on a Saturday. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops! Good coffee, friendly workers and this location has more and better seating which makes it nice for working or meeting friends.

On a long trip the first thing you have to do is start the journey right with food and Cafein. Super nice space with ample seating. I ordered the veggie breakfast sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. Cooked to order indeed and well worth the $8 price tag...I combined that selection with a cortado with just a hint of simple syrup (best to choices to start the day). You can immediately tell the place is indeed a fan favorite, the staff is super attentive and friendly. WiFi codes are on the table for usage if you need it...I'd stay away from the front in the winter months because it may be a little chilly in the front with the guest entering and leaving. Overall a solid find indeed and worth a 20 25 min drive by far. read more

New favorite coffee shop. The decor is very minimalistic and clean, which I like. When we went in, all of the gals working were super friendly and helpful in making suggestions.

I don't hype this place enough but I believe it to be one of the best cafes with the best coffee in the DMV area, in my opinion. On top of their coffee being great, they have amazing food options as well and also at their centreville location - but I prefer this location. Desserts are all so delicious as well, if you ever see the earl grey flavor, definitely pick it up! read more

Love this spot, and so does half of the city, apparently! It's always packed inside and I've been on weekdays and weekends. To avoid the lines, I always order ahead via the app and my order is always ready upon arrival. My go-to is an iced vanilla latte with caramel; never tastes over roasted, always a nice even flavor. I haven't explored much food-wise, but did try the bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich. It was good, but typical. Cafein will definitely remain in my coffee rotation. read more

Delicious food, coffee and baked goods! The sandwich was well made, with fresh ingredients! I do think they forgot about it, as it took 30+ minutes and a reminder for us to get it- the main reason for 4 vs. 5 stars. The pistachio cake was amazing! The cream cheese frosting made it not too sweet. It was so rich so glad we got it to share-I'm not sure I would be able to eat it all myself. We got two coffees as well, the butterscotch latte was amazing! Rich, smooth, silky, buttery, and just the amount of sweet to balance out (and still definitely taste) the coffee flavor! It only comes in one size, which i was disappointed about at first, but ended up being happy about because of just how rich and thick it was! The service was good, the girl working the cash register was not especially friendly or accommodating of questions, and forgot to tell the back kitchen staff about the sandwich we ordered. However, when I approached the people bringing out the food about the sandwich we had ordered they were very kind and able to make it quickly and bring it out. read more

If you can't make tea, it shouldn't be on the menu. Handing my tea latte to me as I'm paying is obviously to quick, I should have walked out. Even the lazy baristas at other places will at least leave a tea bag in, what I got was super sweetened water with some milk foam on top. Ambiance was nice though. read more

Pretty good spot for coffee if you are around Chantilly. I came after checking out the place next door (Kare Bar) so I thought to myself, why not pay this cafe a visit? It was also raining when I went and I didn't want to be soaked. It was a good idea that I decided to stop by. Inside there's many tables, there's chillhop playing and the ambiance is what you'd expect if you have been to many coffee shops.. people doing work on their laptops silently, students talking to other students about work/life, ect... and just many other patrons seeking their coffee fix. I wasn't here for too long but I got a Rose Latte and I got their butter cream cake. I believe their cakes rotate seasonally and I was hoping to get their rainbow cake ( why not, it looks cool ) but no luck this time. Their coffee is smooth, easy to drink despite the poor weather conditions that occurred for that visit. The cake was soft and was easy to break apart. I was a messy eater that day but I cleaned after myself. The cafe is worth visiting if you need a good place to get work or you need some comfort in your life. I would definitely visit this place again when the rainbow cake comes out again. read more

The lattes are smooth, but nothing exceptional. We got breakfast sandwiches and they were good, but if they were $1 less, I would be raving about them. Croissants are flaky and have good flavor.

Cafein went from "just coffee" to a full fledged coffee+food spot. Hubs loves the coffee here and we couldn't resist coming back to try their food offerings (I call it breakfast and brunch but I guess breakfast/brunch are relative to everyone). Hubs got a Cortado and drip coffee. He said their drip was very nice but the cortado was just "ok;" in all fairness, hubs is a coffee roaster so he knows what they didn't do right. My hojicha latte was gritty and too sweet; I enjoy a more natural hojicha flavor and less powder. Croissants were good. The banana flambe French toast was good until we got to the middle and saw all the uncooked parts of the French toast. My mushroom toast was good (all the flavors were there) but too wet for my liking; I was thinking more sautéed mushrooms on a bed of things but this was more mushroom in a "sauce""." It was clean here but so busy on a 10am weekday. We barely found a spot for us- lots of people working and also moms out. Service was on par. They no longer do pour overs, which is sad. Overall, I would say, this place is still a great spot to visit. read more

You can tell from the lines this place has on weekends that the coffee is amazing. I like lattes and cappuccinos and this place makes one of the most consistently best espressos around. It's always so smooth and has a balanced flavor. Now, aside from the coffee, this place makes one of the best tuna sandwiches EVER. They have a tuna on a baguette on the menu, but I always ask for it on ciabatta. They almost always say yes. I think only one time someone said no but I don't think they still work there because I never saw them again (wasn't me, I swear!) The Centerville location also has a tuna sandwich on their menu but they add all this stuff on it that gets in the way of the perfect flavor of their tuna mix. At chantilly it's tuna mixed with mayo, walnuts and dill and it's such a perfect combo! I have mentioned this tuna to several people and everyone who has tried it agrees that it is so delicious. I NEED this to stay on the menu forever! Whoever made this tuna initially and decided to put it on the menu is a genius... read more

Chantilly has no shortage of cafes and sometimes it feels like everyone and their mom owns one in this humongous plaza. Yet somehow one of my friends came to the decision to try out Cafein while we caught up one of these days. There's plenty of seating -- although it can get crowded, as people come in waves -- making it a great place to study or get in a tea-spilling session with friends. The coffee is quite strong but smooth. I got the rose latte, although I was slightly disappointed that it did not particularly taste that special. My barista did compliment my bucket hat though! Good friendly vibes throughout. I hardly ever spend time in Virginia it seems nowadays but if I was back on break during the school year, I'd definitely come back again to study out of the house. read more

Cafein - Iced Rose Latte (16oz) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Ordered an oat milk latte, drip coffee and rainbow cake here. The waiter stumbled through my order on what seemed like purpose and then made me repeat myself a few times. After I made my order I had to wait longer than customers after me to get my full order. But, other than that the quality of product here is very good. Coffee and pastries get an A plus from me. I would def order the rainbow cake and their tres leches cupcake again. The baristas are also very talented. The cashiers can be a hit or miss- depends on the day I suppose. My main gripe is really with the coffee cups and lids. I think maybe the coffee gets too hot the cup lip melts and then as a result the lid pops off after a few minutes. I took some pictures to visually explain. If this cafe could invest in new coffee cups (maybe reusable cups customers could bring back?) that would be a huge improvement! Nobody likes their expensive coffee spilled because of faulty cups :) read more

My go to breakfast place when I am in the chantilly area--great for a quick bite and seems like other people think so too. Plenty of parking in the public parking lot in the shopping center. Got there around 8:30/45-45 minutes after they opened and it was pretty packed. Noticed there were plenty of to-go orders as well. Not much seating area for how popular it is but they are pretty limited on space. Good service and drinks/food came out in a pretty timely manner. My cafein toast was pretty tasty, and very filling! My chai tea latte was good but not the best I had. They have lots of other menu items (both savory and sweet). Would definitely return! read more
