AMBIANCE: Cute cafe in the springfield VA area-- i didn't even know it was here to the point i thought it was a brand new spot! The hostess let me know they had been there for 2 years. it's a small space but cozy to work it. definately not somewhere you want to post up but good if you're going to stop for about an hour or so to do some WFH work. SERVICE: So i've been craving coconut latte or a vanilla latte with coconut milk you'd be surpised to hear that not many cafe's have coconut milk as an option. so i decided to call and the hostess was very kind. when i arrived she realized it was me who had called and made conversation. so very friendly! FOOD: Not fod but i got my vanilla latte in coconut milk and it was exactly what i wanted. not too sweet and i can be sure my stomach won't be upset due to the fact that it's made in coconut milk! love it. read more

Cortado Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

I ordered a strawberry crepe yesterday, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. The service was poor. I stood at the pickup area for several minutes while three employees were behind the counter. One of them looked directly at me while drinking water but didn't even greet or acknowledge me, and the other two never seemed to notice that someone was waiting. It felt like no one paid attention to customers at the pickup station unless they walked over to the ordering counter. I wasn't helped until another employee came out of the kitchen to assist a different customer. She then went behind the counter, chatted briefly with her coworkers, noticed me waiting, and finally asked if I was picking up an order. The food has also changed. I used to buy the strawberry crepe for my daughter almost every weekend because we loved it. This time, it was soggy and overwhelmingly sweet, with far too much topping and syrup. It no longer has the same quality it used to. The omelet was still decent and about the same as before, but the cappuccino was bland and forgettable. Nothing about it stood out. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back. It's disappointing to see both the service and the quality decline from what used to be one of our favorite places. read more

Went here for a late lunch with my DD. This place was her pick. She did a great job. I have been craving a Niçoise salad and as soon as I saw it on the menu, I knew it was destiny. My espresso was dessert. They both were perfect. My DD liked her panini, though wished had fewer onions and peppers. The place was cute, clean and the service was friendly and quick. We will definitely go again. read more

Went here for brunch on a Monday morning, got the caprese crepe. It's solid for a savory crepe. Packed with pesto and balsamic glaze, plus a good amount of tomato, mozzarella, and basil. Flavor was strong, but it was drenched in pesto and oil, almost hard to eat with the plastic utensils they hand you. Also got a cappuccino, tasted normal, nothing to write home about but good. Place was pretty crowded, lot of people working or studying out of there. Staff was super friendly. read more

Went on a Saturday morning around 9am and it was pretty full. It's a very nice and clean place and they have a cool table top bar with a glass window where you can watch them make the coffee and smoothies. Prices seemed reasonable and the food was fantastic. We got a strawberry banana crepe, a blueberry muffin, and a breakfast sampler meal. It was all very delicious--I don't drink coffee but their coffee options looked really strong as well. The ladies working the register were very friendly and kind, and answered a few questions about what they recommended for food options. Would def recommend this place and we will be back when we visit the area again. read more

I was looking for coffee outside of the usual franchise spots in Springfield and came across Cortado Cafe. When I walked in, I was expecting something a bit more cutesy, but that wasn't the vibe at all. While there's plenty of seating, it felt more like a grab-and-go type of place. The coffee menu was pretty simple. I ordered a cortado and a chai latte (which is powdered). The cortado was good, though it came in a smaller cup than I expected. Service was standard--nothing particularly memorable. I had hoped to grab a pastry for my kids, but they looked a bit dry, so I passed. Overall, it's decent if you're looking for something quick and straightforward. However, I wouldn't recommend it if you're set on a specific or more specialty drink, as your options may be limited. read more

*****3.5 stars***** I was in need of an afternoon boost so stopped by Cortado. Ordered an iced tiramisu latte with almond milk, which was ready in no time. Although it provided the right amount of pickmeup that I needed, it didn't remind me of tiramisu at all - just a regular iced latte. Service was super friendly. Good of tables to eat, work, or catch up with a friend. Plenty of parking available in the large lot. read more

Cute little coffee shop/cafe! I went late on a Saturday afternoon for a hot drink and some light food. It was busy enough for such a small place, which was a good sign. The menu is small but has quite a bit to choose from. I went with a Chai Latte and the other person had a Matcha Latte. Also had a Kale Caesar Salad with chicken. The presentation of the salad was so nice! And it was delicious too. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

I ordered a hot chai and only had to wait a minute or two for it to come out! The drink was delicious and I love the cup design. There is plenty of seating and the place has a clean vibe to it. The workers are very nice and greeted me immediately after walking through the door and were patient when I was paying with cash. There is also plenty of parking which is great. I would definitely come back to this cafe again the next time I'm in Springfield! read more

Perfect lunch spot for nice casual. Crepes are the specialty, but the paninis look very good as well. Plenty of comfortable seating. We had the Báhn Mi Chicken and Norwegian crepes. Both delicious, with fresh ingredients. The teas were elegantly served and deliciously refreshing. A rare find in the land of strip mall sameness. We'll be back. read more

Cute little cafe near my vet so I've been treating myself here a couple of times. Service is fast and helpful. I enjoyed most (if not all) of the drinks in the five times I've gone. So far, I enjoyed the dulce de leche latte more than the cortado. Caprese panini bread didn't hold well last week when I did a to-go order & I tried to do the crepe version since we liked the lox crepe but it seemed very heavy and difficult to eat. Even still, the lox items had a good balance in both bagel & crepe form, likely because of the cream cheese. I think if getting something here you can't go wrong with sweet items or the lox, if you don't feel like having a sweet tooth. Will likely come back eventually, hopefully when I'm more in a mood for a sweet Nutella crepe, which I'm sure is delicious. read more

Had an Americano and breakfast platter. The place is small and the seats / tables are pretty narrow. The staff is nice. I think the prices are a little high but then again, what isn't these days? The Americano was quite good. I would return for coffee. The breakfast was just OK. I didn't actually like the meat. The eggs were tasty. Maybe I'd order crepe next time. read more

Amazing food, fast service, and cute atmosphere make this breakfast all day spot a hit! They also have extended Ramadan hours which is also appreciated by the many who fast. Try the pina colada crepe or beaked apple & brie if you are wanting something that is warm and cozy. Top it off with a chia latte and your tastebuds will be happy you did! read more

Corridor Cafe is a quaint deli style restaurant in Springfield, VA. It's a storefront with seating, but not warm and comfortable for real social dining. I ordered to go a turkey sausage and egg croissant. It was ok, but the croissant was a bit too big for the boutique look Cortado Cafe appears to project. Also, the to go packaging was a bit too much, fancy, but too much. I had a hard time opening the food container; the bag was huge; the condiments were not available in to go packaging; and the coffee top was way too extreme. I rather regular packaging and less pricing and challenges. read more

It's a small cafe that is a little bit on the pricier side, especially for food, but I do say it was worth it! The staff were very kind and brought our food and drink out to us. I ordered the Dulce de Leche latte which was delicious and looked gorgeous too! The sandwich was also very good, and I'm pretty sure it was turkey bacon on the sandwich which I had never had before, but it tasted great! My dad and I came here in the morning and it was a pretty quiet place as well, just a few people around us either chatting or doing school work, so it's a nice place to take someone to catch up with or do some work without a lot of noise. The bathrooms were also very clean as well! read more

I love trying new coffee shops so I had to give this one a try. The cool thing about this cafe is that they offer crepes, breakfast all day, sandwiches, and coffee. I ordered a pumpkin spice latte, yes, I'm one of them lol. Anyhoo, it was really delicious. I can tell it was crafted with quality ingredients and the presentation was so beautiful. The prices seem reasonable. I love that there is ample parking around. I was greeted upon entry. My Apple Maps had trouble finding the place but it is in the same plaza as Chick fil a. It's right next to Taco Bamba. read more

Stopped in with my family for a quick breakfast before our hike. Was pleasantly impressed! Small, cute cafe that delivered delicious food! The Breakfast Platter was great. We got pancakes for our baby girl, who loved them. I originally ordered the omelette but shared the eggs benedict with my husband. Service was quick and easy! The girls behind the bar were sweet and attentive. I'd give this place a 10/10. It's low-key, it's good and it has all the nuances of a cafe and restaurant without the hassle or crowd. read more

We need more small businesses like this that do it right. Came here for dessert on a date and wasn't disappointed. The inside is very clean, although somewhat tight seating. There is somewhat of a wait if you get certain items on the menu that require prep, but that just means everything is made fresh to order. The crepe we had was delicious. Overall, a great crepe option in this part of town. read more

This was a nice new coffee shop to try. On a federal holiday morning there were several guests having coffee. There is a seating area however the location is not large.

Service was great and I left happy with my coffee. There was music playing inside but not too loud. read more

Hidden gem! Looks like any other minimall, but inside the location is a clean, beautifully designed cafe. Best part... open 7 days a week at 7am! I think this will be my go to when I am headed to work and don't want to make myself some breakfast. This place serves a wide range of edibles, sweet or savory. I had a butter chicken crepe that I could not imagine be served better any other way. Warning, medium heat is still spicy. Someone else had the benedict and this too was a must have. And finally the avocado toast was VERY generous with the ripe avocado portion. I will also make sure to bring my out of towners here to enjoy. And servce was given by the nicest people, making this a very welcoming place. Note: Yelp states Dogs Allowed, but there was no outside seating and I have not confirmed that dogs are allowed so make sure you ask before you bring your dog here. read more

I absolutely love Cortado Cafe! I recently came in with a friend during the first weeks of their opening and was greeted by their incredibly kind staff. The cafe is cozy and has lots of room for eating in or getting some work done - the perfect quiet spot to enjoy a nice cup of Joe! Having recently went to NYC (home of the viral tiramisu latte), I was so excited to see there was a Tiramisu Latte on their menu. It truly is so decadent and delicious - the perfect blend of cream and coffee that will leave you wanting more. One of the best coffees I have ever had in the DMV! If you ever find yourself in Springfield, Cortado Cafe is the place to be for quality coffee and delicious food! read more

*Apologies in advance for the long review* Currently sitting here and it's my 1st visit - had to write about it immediately! I knew there was a location in Alexandria (never been) but this is closer to home and recently opened. Based on the Alexandria location photos I was pleasantly surprised when i walked in here bc it almost matches in the way the wall is lined with comfy booth seating and tables with seats across. (2 person setting) Additionally, they have bar counter seating if you like to watch people make your drinks. There's plenty of outlets, which is vital for me when looking for a WFH cafe spot. Relaxing piano music and great environment even if you have meetings and 2 clean restrooms. Located right across from Brookfield Plaza, next to Taco Bamba in the same area as Chic-Fil-A. I've been sitting here for a couple hours during my lunch break and currently still working. There is plenty of parking but since this is a busy plaza it may take a couple min - I got lucky and found a spot right in front. I put down my things and was promptly greeted at the register. The staff is very friendly! I asked what flavor shots they have for the coffee and Mustafa gave me a whole list. I love going to cafes where youre given dine-in style cups and mugs - I came to sit and enjoy my time, not rush out of here so I do not want a to-go cup lol. I got a hazelnut latte and ordered the caprese panini with a house salad on the side. The latte was great, I didn't have to add any sugar and you could taste the flavor shot. The panini was delicious, great portion and the dressing on the salad was lovely. How sweet, the staff member just came up to me and gave me a yogurt parfait to try :D ! I got him to add honey for me and it's absolutely delicious. Crunchy from the granola/oats, with various berries and nuts for texture. I talked with Mustafa and Sam, (staff and owner), who are from Mauritania and Morocco, who told me the bacon is turkey bacon and the meats here are halal - which is great to know so that I can order the meat dishes in the future. Mustafa is orginially from New York so he has great recs, he's also visited many of the DMV coffee shops so talk to him if you need insight I would gatekeep this tbh LOL but they absolutely deserve the business, and I'm hoping to become a regular here inshallah :)! read more

In Springfield and was looking for a cafe with good food. We ordered a cortado, an iced vanilla oat milk latte, a bacon egg & cheese on a croissant, and a lox bagel on everything. The coffee was okay--not bad, but not great. I usually judge a cafe by its cortado, and this one had too much milk, throwing off the balance. Temperature was a little lukewarm. The iced latte also felt a bit watered down with oat milk. Food was pretty good. They smushed the croissant a little, which I love in a breakfast sandwich. The lox was solid, though I wish the bagel had been toasted a touch more. (We ordered both and split, so the photo shows half). Plenty of seating, super friendly staff, and a clean bathroom! read more

Excellent breakfast. I had shakshouka which was very flavorful. The rest of my family had avocado toast, chocolate chip pancakes, omelet and pumpkin French toast for the table. All of our food was served hot, eggs cooked perfectly and such a great variety on the menu. It's a small cafe so be prepared to wait a few moments for a small cafe style table.

This place has lots to offer: Beautiful, delicious, and nutritious food and drinks; inviting ambiance; and personable customer service. For those looking for a place to work remotely, there are lots of tables AND electric outlets at *every* table! The owners actually encourage people to come in and linger, even if you're working away on your laptop. I appreciate that this place serves food and drinks on ceramic or glass plates or drinkware, and metal cutlery -- when dining in --because it feels more elevated for a counter-service establishment and less wasteful. My husband ordered a chicken avocado panini that came with a side salad of his choice (I believe the options were either a house salad or Caesar), and I got an avocado quinoa salad that was beautifully vibrant visually and in taste. Both were delicious and we look forward to trying more! They have an all-day breakfast menu, too! My husband enjoyed his decaf double espresso, and I had a delicious pumpkin chai latte. Another bonus: Your foamy drinks come with latte art! read more

We'd planned to stop by Taco Bamba but it was packed and so loud, we dropped in to the Cortado Cafe. We'd brought a puzzle game to play together and were able to find comfortable seating and the room to play. Our drinks were tasty and the food was fresh and delicious. The place is very clean and the staff seem to take pride in everything from pulling a shot to plating a dish to wiping down a tabletop. We were impressed and will be back! The chairs are sturdy enough for bigger bodies and bench seating is also available. Any of the tables could be made accessible for someone with a wheelchair. The bathroom is also clean and accessible. read more

Cortado Cafe - Matcha latte, cold brew, smoked salmon crepe, and a veggie panini. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

I used to like this place a lot, but things have changed. For starters, I couldn't find the crepe that I always ordered because it's been removed from the menu. It was the brie and baked apples crepes. Since I was there, I decided to order French toast. It was awful. Three triangles of bread with powder sugar on top which were cold upon arrival. The service was just as bad. The plate of food was brought to my table with no silverware and no napkins, not even syrup! I had to ask for all of it. When she finally brought the syrup, which I was hoping would be warm to warm up the toasts, it was also cold. My latte was more milk than coffee. The lady at the register told me that it would have two shots of espresso. I was expecting a strong cup of coffee, it turned out to be very weak. Tipping is done at the register, so there's no way to take it back, but I wouldn't have tipped at all with the service I received. The ambience was as always, with the tables too close. I'm afraid today they lost a customer. I will not be going back. read more

This cafe is really lovely, and has a welcoming comfortable vibe. It small and often crowded, but family friendly or nice just to meet up with a friend for a chat. There are signs on the tables though for weekends, that indicate they are aren't to be used for laptops to prevent people from camping out. They serve an eclectic mix of food and drinks and the staff is nice. I would highly recommend the Norwegian crepe, and the chai latte is very sweet. I'm really excited next time I go to try the Moroccan mint tea that comes out on a pretty tray with a silver carafe and pretty tea glass. In general I would say prices are fair and comparable to other cafes of its type. read more
