Good spot with good coffee. Came in a Monday morning and ordered breakfast crossaints with an iced latte and americano. The coffees were good and would be back to try the lattes. read more

The pastries and coffee are pretty good at this place. Not that many places to seat so either come at off hours or be prepared to take your order to go. read more

In an open, modern, clean space tucked away in the Shoppes of Foxchase you will find Cortado Cafe, a lovely new addition to Alexandria's West End. There are several options to suit your caffeine or hunger cravings. I had a Caramel Latte and the Breakfast Platter, while my bf enjoyed a Spicy Chicken Avocado Panini. Everything was delicious. Don't hesitate to drop by next time you are in the area! read more

Where do I start! Cortada Cafe is very well maintained, clean, fresh, relax vibe with comfortable seatings. Highly recommend the Cortada sandwich, lox n'bagel, spicy avocado panini, and don't forget the freshly grinded coffee choices. Professional and friendly staff, the Cafe I think is family owned and has a neighborhood flare to it. Enjoy read more

This place is baller all the time the coffee is great the people care and the food is really good. My hope is this place makes enough money to become a real restaurant and not just a hole in the wall. read more

This is not a good review, but it is written with honesty and without malice. I ordered the breakfast patter and a small stack of blueberry pancakes with a vanilla latte ($32). I had to wait quite awhile for the food to come. When the food finally came it looked ok and tasted ok, initially I began eating the eggs and sausage and bacon. I finally started eating the pancakes to discover that they were chocolate chip (i am allergic to chocolate). The management gave an apology and took the meal away. It again took quite a bit before the food came back to my table and the food was hastily prepared. The blueberry pancakes were under cooked, the bacon under cooked, the eggs were over cooked, they did not bring any potatoes or sausage (which comes with the breakfast platter) I had to ask for those. The young woman who initially took my order other than the latte didn't seem to know what she was doing, but the Latte was very good. i would definitely get coffee from this place again but that is it. both the service and the food are not worth the money. Find a better diner I hope this review helps. read more

This is a nice little cafe. Seemed to be pretty popular when we went on the weekend for lunch. The sandwiches were pretty solid. Chicken noodle soup tasted hearty and homemade I had a Cortado after lunch and that was decent as well. Went with my family that had young kids. Though the owners and workers were very nice to us and the kids, the restaurant itself isn't very accommodating for kids. Understandably, most of the customers were young professionals and couples. Seating and standing room is limited since they can get a bit crowded which can be difficult for the kids to navigate. Thankfully we were able to grab a table and enjoy our meal. Overall, it was a fun cafe that was great for stopping by for lunch and dessert. read more

Stumbled upon this place one evening and also went Back the very next day. My breakfast sandwich was cooked just as I like. I love how they have turkey bacon. read more

RARELY can you find a spot in VA/DC that checks ALL of the boxes, but this place seriously never misses! You can tell the owners care a lot about giving customers a perfect experience. The staff is always kind, quick, and attentive. & the food is always made to order and very very delicious!! The cafe atmosphere is also very clean, trendy, and comfortable. This has become our regular breakfast spot and that's not changing anytime soon! read more

This is a new establishment that feels like it should have always been here. Elegant and clean, a lovely place for a light lunch, a delicious coffee and something sweet to follow. Highly recommend checking out this new little gem here at home. read more

Cortado Cafe - Regular Sweetened Latte - Cafes Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I love this place when I'm in Alexandria. Service is always amazing and the food and pastries are so good. If you're not familiar with cortado coffee, you need to come try the Havana cortado. read more

Hidden gem in Alexandria, lots of cool breakfast sandwich with good coffee. Gives a NYC vibe

This is a local cafe in my area and it is hands down the best choice to visit! The staff is always very kind and welcoming and it is a great environment in the shop. The pastor use are delicious and taste homemade, I assume they were made that morning in-house! The coffee also tastes quality. I typically get a vanilla latte and the vanilla they use in the coffee is amazing! read more

I saw reviews about the Cortado Cafe posted by a few of my Yelp friends. Once I realized it was just a few miles away I knew I had to order from their. I love supporting local neighborhood establishments! I was happy to see Cortado Cafe was on Uber Eats so hubby and I placed a breakfast order. He got the Belgian Waffle with fruit. It was a freshly made waffle that was light,fluffy and delicious. It came with an assortment of fruit on top that included kiwi,strawberries and more. He enjoyed the waffle and said it was really good. I ordered an assortment of pastries and a coffee to go with them. Unfortunately 2 of the pastries I ordered were out of stock so I ended up getting a chocolate croissant and an almond croissant. Both were nice and flaky and nice sizes as well. My favorite of the two was the chocolate croissant. It was well filled with chocolate wrapped in buttery layers of dough. It went really well with the cafe latte I ordered that was flavored with sugar free white chocolate syrup.. We were happy with our order and plan to order from here again. I look forward to trying some of their breakfast and lunch options and hubby said he liked the waffle so much he wants to order another. read more

Paid for avocado got two little slices never again not worth the price coffee was ok........ .........

Awesome service, great food, great coffee, great vibes inside to hangout or study. Too bad I'm just visiting but if I lived close by it would be a place I would frequent. read more

Absolutely cute and refreshing find. I had lunch here and it was excellent. I had the turkey sandwich and they gave me the option to switch out my bread choice. The ingredients were fresh and the meal flavorful. I also got a bakery item which was equally as good and fresh. Will definitely be back! The only constructive feedback would be to add more chip options. They only had one flavor--plain chips. read more

I have been at cortardo's as a regular customer since the grand openning,and I can say this place is the best . I am very impressed with the overall experience and would recommend this coffee shop for your next breakfast , lunch or coffee out. The three amigos and owners, Sam,Abdul and shakib are the best in this business. read more

Awesome food! Very tasty and lots of selections for those of us who don't eat meat. The place is extremely clean and the service is nice. We don't live here, but if we did, this would be a regular place for us. Love it! read more

The food was great, I got breakfast so your normal eggs sausage and toast with hash. It was a quiet morning I forgot what day of the week it was. Service was amazing, the staff that took care of me was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Relatively new cafe that is decorated in a sleek modern comfy style with excellent customer service. Had an EXCELLENT "smooth" Cortado with whole milk and drank it before I could take a photo. Very nice customer service and one of the owner Chakib from Morocco personally served me. I followed up with a Matcha Latte. I love the fact that it is unsweetened and I can choose how much to sweeten myself. All around very nurturing experience. I'll be back! read more

My go-to "work from home" cafe. Love the owners, the atmosphere, convenient location, and the hospitality! read more

Cortado Cafe - Chai latte - Cafes Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Delicious and reliable. The ambiance is pleasant but I wish the location was in a more secluded area .

How can this place get 4.7 rating when the food is below average? Bagel and croissant were like bagel shaped bread and croissant shaped bread. Ask to see them before you get them. read more

Just ordered from UberEats based on the great reviews-- was very disappointed. First, the chocolate croissant was from a grocery store and had hardly any chocolate. Second, the salmon bagel had almost no salmon at all. Finally, I paid extra for oat milk and didn't get any milk. The coffee is pretty good and the BEC bagel is good, but I wouldn't order from here again. read more

Great almond croissant! I got a late too, which was just right. Great and friendly service too.

Awesome local place if you're looking for a quick, quaint breakfast cafe with friendly staff. Has the standard fair of a normal coffee shop but also some really delicious breakfast and lunch menu items too. One note is the space is small but has outdoor seating. If you're going to come on a weekend be prepared to go early to get a good space. read more

Let me just go ahead and add my two senses to this Amen corner. Excellent, Excellent coffee. If you want to know if a cafe is good just begin with the drip coffee. The coffee is so good and I had the cinnamon twist and it was a beautiful compliment. I hope they keep this up I need a great place for just good coffee before the working day begins! And lately, that's been a hard find in Alexandria. See keeping me smiling on a Friday morning! read more

Check out this cute cafe that just opened. The owners are super nice and made sure to get my order just right. They have coffee and some food options. The atmosphere is very cute if you need somewhere to hang. read more

Iced Decaf mocha with oat milk was perfect! Staff and owner were friendly and so nice!

Great all day breakfast, eat in or carry out. Turkey bacon is to die for great selection of coffees, cappuccinos and espresso?

The coffee here is very tasty, but the food is inconsistent and often misses the mark. We ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant that was completely flavorless. How you combine those ingredients and get flavorless is beyond me. We also ordered a lox bagel that was just okay. read more
