Here's to my favorite coffee place in Arlington…read more Simona has been my weekend getaway spot for years. It is where I have spent most of my Sundays in the last couple of years. Delicious coffee, delicious cookies and some really creative and refreshing drinks as well. My most ordered things probably are the hibiscus tea, iced lattes with almond/oat milk and their cookies. Occasionally I have gotten breakfast and sandwiches from here. Everything simple yet so different than everywhere else. It is very hard to describe the difference. The cafe is small, cozy and located in a corner of Clarendon. The baristas are lovely and the service is top notch. I may be biased but it is hard to dislike anything about this place. It is one of my happy places. 5/5 must go there!

While the location offers convenient outdoor seating and a single restroom for guests, my overall…read moreexperience did not meet expectations. There was only one employee preparing drinks, and despite there being no line ahead of me, my beverage took approximately 25 minutes to be made. The other staff members appeared to be occupied with other tasks, though I cannot speak to their responsibilities. As for the coffee itself, the espresso was not to my personal taste. While I still drank it, the combination of the wait time and overall experience means I will not be returning.

The Coffee is Legit & The Name....Say's it All!…read more I stumbled on this to this place while taking a break from work and a walk outside to get some fresh air. It is relatively new and located across the street from the Starbucks here in Virginia Square. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered an amazing iced latte called the 'Three Waves' that have flavors of macadamia nut and hints of coconut & caramel that had my taste buds flying all over the place! I customized it by adding dark chocolate which paired well and heighten the flavor profile. The coffee itself was bold, strong, just like I like it and overall not too sweet. The price point was great too. It was the perfect fix and afternoon boost. The shop is small but has lots of souvenirs and select Hawaiian coffee beans to choose from and take home. The menu is full of coffee, items, smoothies, and variations of coffee drinks that can be prepared cold, frozen or hot.. I left this place buzz and completely satisfied....with a great energy kick to make it through the rest of the day. Thanks, To such a great experience and delicious cup of coffee, I also bought a bag of Kona expresso beans to bring home. I'm so glad this place has opened up here and so close to work. The customer service is excellent and the /barista was very helpful. With such a large menu and many choices, flavors, and combinations to choose..... They were great and helping me navigate the menu and offered up. Excellent suggestions. This place is a huge improvement from the once Dunkin' Donuts store that was located here. Will definitely keep this place on repeat and have to come back to try some of the many other great looking menu items! Two thumbs up & I recommend you make a stop here for a delicious coffee experience.

Finally went to detour coffee and the pistacchio latte is so good. They use pistacchio milk which…read moreis different from other ones I've had in the area as I believe the other use whole milk. I also got the falafel smashburger. I felt there was a lot of bun compared to the filling. The food menu was extensive and seem to switch up often so I'll try something else the next time I go but think I'll stick with the pistacchio latte. Space overall was very nice but fills up fast. Would be a nice place to catch up with friends. Street parking is probably the better option rather than trying to find parking in front of the shop as it is very limited

I fell in love with them while visiting BMore's Cafe Dear Leon and wanted to find a local place offering them...and Yelp led me to Roggenart Bakery. In addition to ordering a Crookie, I ordered a small beet salad, cheese Danish and a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I am completely hooked. Everything was so fresh and tasty and I now have a new "go to" spot for my breakfast fix. I have raved so much about Roggenart that my friends and colleagues are now ordering. The customer service is excellent. Even though I have used UE for most of my orders, my packaging is always done well. Nothing is squished or dripping. Can you imagine having beet juice everywhere?!? Also, my co-worker has visited to pick up our order and she said it's very clean and smells amazing. Don't hesitate to order. You won't regret it. Happy eating!!!!

I gotta give it up for Kaldi's. My first time visiting and while the prices are a little steep…read more(especially for food - $23 for a chicken Caesar salad), I'd def come back. About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

I think they need to work on either adding more sweetener or increasing the sweetness of their beverages. There was only 1 cashier and person was who was doing all the multi-tasking, but because of it, it made me learn that it took the employee almost 20 minutes to make coffee. It's a small cafe nestled with a lot of variety to choose from.

It's a…read moresmall place with a few bar height chairs at a bar by the window, a few regular chairs and booth seating by the wall and a separate room (but open) with a bar height table and chairs. I sat on the booth side by the wall and was not near an outlet. It was quite chilly even though it wasn't sweltering outside, so I'm glad I brought a jean jacket. Music was playing but it wasn't too loud. Stayed for a couple of hours. There was plenty of foot traffic but not enough to be disruptive. There was one restroom, which was clean. The baristas were pleasant as they helped other customers. I was going to order seltzer water, but they had it on tap (along with plain water) so it was free. I also ordered an iced tea to support the establishment. It was refreshing and I didn't even add anything to make it sweet. I would return here to work if I needed to, especially because I like the area (even though parking is mostly paid street spots), but plan on continuing my quest for the perfect coffee shop/remote work vibe.

I think she was a little surprised that the smallest cake was $55 but she wanted me to have what I wanted and she ordered one. I could not be more disappointed. The cake is very dry and honestly not good. For $55 I was shocked. I'm sorry, I wanted to write a raving review and be a longtime customer for all of the birthday cakes in my five person household going forward, but I will never recommend Bakeshop to anyone and I will never be back. I could've made a better cake from a Betty Crocker mix from the grocery store and we would've enjoyed that cake so much more. I don't even want the leftovers of this cake and I LOVE cake....super bummed.
