I came in once and ordered a crazy Irishman, and it was pretty good! I felt it lacked something, but it was still an amazing sandwich! The warmth of the bun was so consistent that with each bite, I could taste the warmth of all the ingredients. The egg and hashbrown were perfectly balanced with one another! Not too overpowering, usually one's seasoning topples over the other, but here, they were in harmony with each other, along with the cheddar cheese. paired with a delicious, warm, and soothing caramel Macchiato, the taste of the macchiato upon my first sip was so delicious, and the perfect quality of warmness, not too hot to scald my taste buds, but not lukewarm to inhale half the beverage in my first sip. It was a perfect choice recommended by the lady who took my order, which I feel made the whole meal feel complete! Definitely will be coming back for more! read more

The Okinawa Haze Latte was a pretty not-too-sweet drink, but was a bit underwhelming. The Jack of All Trades sandwich was a pretty loaded/heavy breakfast--perfect for when you go on a long run. it is definitely is one of the better breakfast/quick stop places to go to. A large selection of goodies to buy! The menu is very pretty and the cafe was crowded but there was plenty of seating. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the ambience here![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great selection of sandwiches and breakfast food (quiche!) plus many types of drinks to choose from. Love the quirkiness of some of the names, like Dirty Hippie (matcha latte with an espresso shot) and Veggie One Eyed Jack (egg sandwich). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Be prepared to scout for a seat though, it gets busy with studying students from nearby GMU.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

How did it take me a year and 9 months to find De Clieu? It's a ~25 minute drive from where I live without traffic, but it's such a great cafe with decently priced food and coffee drinks. The vibe here is nice too since it is homey and warm with people of different age groups doing their work, catching up, reading the news, etc. It's close to the GMU Fairfax campus so I expected mainly college students. Either way, the GMU students have it nice if they have De Clieu so close to them. There were lots of coffee options -- ranging from black coffee (drip and even pour overs) and lots of fun latte flavors. They also have lots of non-coffee drinks, lots of different teas, fruit based drinks and tea lattes. The breakfast and lunch sandwiches all looked really tasty and it was hard to choose between many options. OKINAWA HAZE (SMALL, 16 OZ.) - 4.80 This is an iced ube latte and it comes out in a nice purple, white and coffee colored gradient. It's not as pretty when you mix it all together, haha, but I liked that it wasn't that sweet and it was an enjoyable iced latte. I wish there was a stronger coffee flavor, though, because I felt like it was a lot of milk with hints of ube syrup. Overall, I'd recommend and would definitely get this again. JACK OF ALL TRADES - 9.25 This is probably their most popular sandwich here since it literally is super phat (good luck trying to eat it, lol) with lots of great ingredients (mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, super fluffy egg, sausage, bacon, and cheese) in between a fluffy brioche bun. This is definitely more food than I can eat for lunch, so I ate half of it and saved the other half for a different meal. This sandwich is pretty popular on local food influencers' Tik Toks/Instagram reels (whatever young people use nowadays) and for once, not in an overrated way. I would recommend it if you're looking for a tasty breakfast sandwich. I'm debating on getting another latte as I'm writing this review at De Clieu. We will see :) read more

Such a cute gem in Old Town Fairfax! It's pretty busy especially in the mornings, but there's a fair amount of seating inside the cafe. I've found that the drinks can be a bit hit or miss for me, particularly their specials. The lattes are almost always solid, but I decided to try them ube latte today and I would pass on that. The ube syrup didn't really taste like ube. Instead, the whole latte just tasted vaguely milky. Today I tried the veggie one eyed jack breakfast sandwich and it was good. I don't think I'd go for it again, but I enjoyed the freshness of the spinach and tomatoes. The veggie patty was a bit mushy and didn't add much to the sandwich in my opinion. Great little study spot as well! read more

Another Yelp success! We were visiting GMU and wanted some breakfast that was quick and better than a chain. This was an excellent find. The macchiato was legit without being too heavy on milk. The eggacado sandwich had a nice mix of avocado and eggs. The eggs feel more microwaved but the brioche bun was excellent. Very light and flavorful. The cinnamon bun too was terrific without being overly drenched in sugar. Service was friendly and I loved the interior. Great place to hang. Pro tip: order ahead on the website. Made pickup super easy. read more

De Clieu is a lovely coffee shop in Northern Virginia. It can get quite busy throughout the day, but there are a good number of seats. They have a variety of different types of drinks, along with pastries and delicious breakfast sandwiches. One speciality drink I enjoy is the matcha blossom, which is a Matcha tea latte with their housemade organic rose syrup. They have a variety of seasonal drinks they also rotate through. Service is great here. It is located in Old Town Fairfax so parking is usually a block or two away, depending on where you find parking. I have never had any problems finding parking, as there are a number of parking areas to park at. Would highly recommend if you're in old town Fairfax! read more

I've been going here for years and the staff are nice, food is pretty good. My favorite is the De Clieu Caprese sandwich. However the coffee is pretty sub par. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I mainly go here to get work done on my laptop since the ambiance is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I wasted an hour of my life here for a mediocre coffee and sandwich. I waited 30 min for the sandwich because somehow my ticket got lost or they just forgot about it. As for the house caramel macchiato, I got it iced but there was no ice in it. It was barely cold when I got it and wasn't very good. I understand that it was a busy Saturday morning but it turned out to just be a waste of my time. read more

Staff is great and responsive, quick, the lattes seem consistent. The oat milk brand they use is awful and leaves a gross aftertaste. I tried a vanilla bean latte with both whole milk and oat milk, and immediately regretted trying the oat milk. I think it's still one of the better coffee shops in the area by a mile, but the oat milk is terrible read more

Literally the best coffee shop I've been to, and that says a lot. I am very picky about my coffee and breakfast sandwiches. I woke up wanting to try a different coffee spot and found this one had a lot of great reviews. I normally don't really like breakfast sandwiches so I didn't plan on getting one. Parking was easy to find and so was De Clieu. I walked inside and it was packed! This definitely told me that they must be good. All of the seats were taken and there was a line. The line went pretty fast and I could tell the employees really cared and worked efficiently to get orders placed. I ordered a white mocha, green tea latte, crazy Irish man sandwich and a red velvet muffin. Also can we appreciate the cute wrapping they use for the breakfast sandwiches?! The baristas take the time to do latte art for all of the drinks and I really appreciated this. It was so cute. Both drinks were fantastic. They were not too sweet and I could definitely taste the coffee flavor in the white mocha. The breakfast sandwich was amazing. The red velvet muffin was mouth watering. It makes total sense why they have all of these great reviews and are so packed. I will definitely be back. read more

3.5 Stars for this heart of Fairfax breakfast-lunch joint. De Clieu's is a small, cozy shop. There's street parking and some paid parking in the back (I can't vouch for any free because I didn't see any). The place looks unassuming and on the older side from the outside, but is quite spacious and big (high ceilings) on the inside, with ample seating. I saw gelato and lunch sandwich offerings, but was in here for a quick breakfast grab: Pumpkin Pie Latte - My Latte was a half-caf and decent. It had a good amount of pumpkin pie seasoning in it, so I could taste the cinnamon and nutmeg. Eggacado Sandwich - This sandwich fell short for me. While the sandwich looked hearty, the egg was over cooked, the cheese was rubbery, and the guacamole tasted more like mashed up avocado and not guacamole. Quick and friendly staff. I did an online order and it was ready at the time I requested. Overall- This was a decent pit stop. read more

Overview: I arrived here at 8:25AM on a Saturday in March. A few people were seated, mostly empty tables and only one person was in line ahead of me. By 8:45AM this place was packed. A line had formed and most of the tables were taken except for one long table in the middle. If you go to this café on the weekend, I recommend going as soon as they open. Also, I would not recommend setting up a working space at this café because it's too small for that. This isn't a place to linger in my opinion but a nice place to come and get a quick bite to eat and a tasty beverage. Food/Drink: I wanted to try a few things on the menu so I ordered the Matcha Blossom, Blueberry Lemonade, Belgian Waffle & one Chocolate Croissant. 5/5 The matcha blossom was amazing! I would travel all the way back here just to taste it again. I had mine made warm with whole milk. There is a hint of sweetness with this drink from the rose syrup. 2/5 Next, I tried their Belgian waffle. You get two and one waffle was coated in whipped cream and the other waffle was covered with cut up bananas and chocolate syrup. I was a little disappointed with my waffles. Despite the food coming out fast, my waffle was slightly cold. If it would have been warm then I would say 5/5. 5/5 Their blueberry lemonade was also delicious. It was not tart or overly sweet. The lemonade tasted homemade and the blueberries were more for coloring than added flavor. 5/5 Lastly, their chocolate croissant was also good. It tasted just like the ones you can buy in the Wegman's bakery section. read more

Haven't been to de clieu in many many years but an old town Fairfax staple. We went during a good window around 9:30 on a Saturday and were able to easily secure a table. By 10:30 when we left, every table was packed. All the sandwiches we tried were good and the bread was soft and tasted fresh. Drinks were all good and there was a variety of creative drinks above and beyond the usual. The Makers Mark latte was good but no MM taste. Pricing was also reasonable as well. There is free parking behind and next to the block. read more

Stopped by around lunchtime on a weekday, and it was packed. I ordered a matcha latte and one of their all-day breakfast sandwiches. The staff was friendly, the bathroom was clean, and parking was convenient--they have street parking as well as a free lot a few blocks down. I just wish there were more seating, as it seemed full of George Mason students working on their laptops. Overall, a nice cafe with good options! read more

I absolutely love this place! Tried this place two times already and can't get enough. This place is always busy. I went once in the morning and once in the afternoon and wow it was so busy no matter what time it was. Parking can be tough because this place is in old town Fairfax. This place is super cute and does have a good amount for seating. Even when it is busy I am able to find a small table as people are leaving. They have lots of drinks to choose from so you will definitely find something you like. They have pastries, breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches. I love the egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel it is so good! I am obsessed with their matcha! The Sakura Kiss Latte is to die for!! They make their syrups in house which is amazing. The flavor of the Sakura Kiss Latte is a cherry blossom flavor and with the matcha it is so good. I ask for a little extra and it is perfect for me, but I do like my drinks a little more on the sweeter side. My sisters ordered the Love Potion, a Hot Matcha Latte and the Iced London Fog. They all tasted super good! The Love Potion has lavender and white chocolate and the London Fog has Earl grey tea with vanilla syrup. If you like sweeter tasting coffee order a little extra of the syrup. I definitely recommend this cafe! I can't wait to come back read more

An Old Town Fairfax staple. What more can I say? DeClieu has been serving some of the best drinks and most affordable sandwiches for the past decade or so. Plus, they're always consistent--no matter when or where, you can always depend on DeClieu for a special treat or a solid meal. I always make sure to come in at least once a month and check out some of their seasonal drinks, with my favorites being the Okinawa Haze Latte and Einspanner--they're both summer specials with the first being an ube latte made with this gorgeous purple Japanese sweet potato syrup and the second being a delicious, creamy salted caramel cold brew. It can be a little busy sometimes, but the staff is always really quick, efficient, and really amicable! The food and drinks hardly take any time at all, making them a great treat to take outside and have a nice little picnic with. And if I *do* need to sit inside, the staff always do their best to try and accommodate me. Definitely check this place out if you haven't already! read more

My friend and I went around 3pm and there was no wait to get served. The cafe was very spacious and cozy. She got a white mocha latte and chocolate croissant and loved it. I got a mocha latte and YankeeClub sandwich which I adjusted the ingredients to my preference, I loved them both. I give them 4 stars because it was a tad pricey for my 2 items, my total turned out to be about $20. I would recommend this place! read more

I went here based off of a recommendation from a card shop owner nearby. Now I will say this place has that Mom and Pop feel to it and the workers are definitely helpful and friendly. I ordered a standard breakfast sandwich which was a tad pricey but the ingredients I can tell where top notch. The had free water while my good was being prepared and a spot to wait patiently. One thing I will say is that your food will never be cold when coming from this place. Definitely recommend giving this place a shot for your breakfast and coffee needs! read more

Cute little coffee/sandwich shop. I've visited for lunch a few times, ordered ahead for pick up twice and went into the store and ordered twice. It's cute, the sandwich is good but the wait time is too long in the line and it was only three people ahead of me and the wait time was 20 minutes after ordering. The staff was nice but listen EVERYONE needs a hair net. Would I visit again - YES Order - chicken salad in croissant read more

Coffee shop with a ton of unique drinks, creative breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pastries, + gelato The space is very popular, and when I came here on a Sunday morning there was a pretty sizeable line. They got through the line pretty quickly, but the space itself is also crammed to the brim with as many tables as they could possibly fit I tried an "iced honey charcoal mocha", a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a challah roll, and a blueberry scone. The coffee and sandwich were solid. I added hot sauce to the sandwich, which made it even better. The scone was delicious read more

Very busy this Sunday, but still had quick and friendly service which is always appreciated! I got the Okinawa haze (ube) latte and the spicy swine sandwich. The sandwich was delicious. The latte was rather mild and I couldn't really taste the ube, though it was not too sweet which I appreciated. Wish the latte had more of that espresso flavor as well. The environment is cute and lots of seating! read more

Only had the Ube Latte but man was it good. Love that this little coffee shop has such fun and unique flavors. The coffee shop itself is pretty busy.

Otherwise, it's a cute and clean atmosphere. read more

Cute coffee shop with lots of seating indoors and in a back area. It's much bigger in the inside than it looks. I got a green tea latte - which is matcha and the Belgian waffle. My friend got an egg sandwich and an expresso. I enjoyed my waffle and latte and really enjoyed the milk art. It was my first time getting that. You will have to pick up your drink from the counter but they will bring your food to you if you are seated. I will definitely go back to try some of their other sandwiches etc. read more
