With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, this is the perfect place to catch up with yourself and enjoy a sweet treat. Pastry wise they are known for their fruit shaped cakes, dot cakes, and most recently their viral fruit ice cream bon bons. They also have a few savory snacks and pastries in a little case but that kind of felt like an after thought. My mango cloud matcha latte was light, airy, sweet, and fruity. Mango + matcha is an amazing flavor combination and I was a big fan. Unfortunately the dot cake was kind of a bummer. It looked really nice but all the sprinkles disintegrated as soon as we put our fork in and it had way too much cream cheese frosting. My favorite was the bon bon ice creams. $24 for a little pint that you can bring home. For the past week whenever I was feeling like I needed a boost, I would head to my freezer and omg it was the best! Crunchy, crispy, cool, with different flavored fruit ice cream inside. It was absolutely delightful. Place was buzzing but luckily the lines have died down so it's not impossible to grab one of their pastries anymore. Pair with a stop at the library for the perfect rainy day afternoon treat!

The latte was also just the right amount of sweetness and very satisfying. They have the automated kiosks to order from! I only received a text notification when my order was ready. Perfect for introverts, though there was someone behind the counter if you'd rather order with a person. The decor is spacious with lots of comfy seating. Great place to get a treat and catch up with friends. Was pretty empty on a weekday around noon. The AC is working and keeps out the humidity in the summer.

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 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!

I don't even live close to it but try to get it as much as I can lol. All of the baristas are so friendly. Because I have been there so often they know me now and know my drink :) The shop inside is super cute and aethestic. They offer seasonal drinks and every one that I have tried was really good . I have tried almost all of their drinks and have nothing bad to say. The ingredients they use are high quality and you can taste it in the drinks. They offer matcha flights as well and whenever I walk in I see plenty of people enjoying them so I know it's a big hit. I will also say they go over the top for customer service. My two year old got a pastry on one of our visits and ended up having an allergic reaction. The owner was so sweet. He reached out to me via text and also provided all of the ingredients listed so that we could figure out what she reacted to. Great customer service and amazing drinks. I am definitely a regular here :)

Like idk if I can say if it was good or bad haha but overall fun experience. I just wish that the interior seating was a bit more comfortable but I liked this place. Oh and the service was pretty standard which is always preferred :) Like I would go here again but I would probably rather go to the middle eastern cafes.
