This spot is super kid-friendly, baby-friendly, and mom-friendly - not to mention community oriented. How much better can it get for a mom of a young toddler?! They have a kids play area, high chairs galore, diapers in the bathroom, super cute merchandise for sale, and of course delicious coffee and food! They host multiple events throughout the month for community members to participate. It's a feel-good spot all around. During our visit we enjoyed lattes, egg bites, and a strawberry Danish. My toddler liked the food and didn't want to leave the play area when it was time to go. Highly recommend a visit!

Coffee Shop No. 441 Vita Nova Creations & Coffee Co…read more Nokesville, VA October 25, 2024 I have driven passed Vita Nova Creations & Coffee Company several times in the last couple of years. I just didn't feel inclined to go in. A coffee buddy said she wanted to take me to a coffee shop she really liked and it turned out to be Vita Nova Creations & Coffee Company. Now I am kicking myself because I it took me so long to enjoy a cortado from here. The baristas were very friendly. The young lady who helped me was not familiar with cortados, but she was willing to give it a try. She did great. The espresso to milk ratio was perfect. The milk was super hot, but a little time walking around the shop before sipping fixed that. What a shop!! From jewelry, to clothing, to paint, and stationary; this shop seems to have it all. On top of all the amazingly creative merchandise there is plenty of seating. I am very glad I finally visited this shop! Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

After a weekend camping with fourteen girls, a pit stop at Doppio Bunny was much needed!…read more The Valencian latte (dark chocolate mocha with bits of valencian oranges on top) is my absolute favorite but all of their drink options are absolutely tops. I was driving with a few girls and they were obsessed with the cute decor, snack options (Uglies chips for the win), and the fact that they could sit down with a game of chess. Bathrooms are clean and the staff is just lovely. This is truly my favorite coffee shop of all time.

Easy enough to parallel park along the street nearby and climb the three steps for the front entrance. I do not know if they have a ramp around back. After browsing for a minute, we ordered. A latte for Mrs. K. and a self-serve drip for me. We also enjoyed a muffin to go with it. Mrs. K. replied, "One of the top three lattees I've ever had in my life. Creamy. Delicious." High praise indeed. It's a cute shop with lots going on here including an oatmeal fixings bar and quite a few trinkets for sale at the counter. A fun little spot!

The owner is from Colombia, and there's a beautiful portrait in the shop representing coffee from her family's farms, which adds such a personal and meaningful touch.

Cute shop but service negatively affected the overall experience. Walking in, we liked the vibe. The place is tight on space and it gets very busy and crowded on weekends. This coffeehouse has potential, but they're not showing their best right now. Bait and switch: Based on their menu, we did not at all receive what we were anticipating. It sounded so delicious on the menu. However, what we got was not what was posted and not one of the staff told us that they were out of what we ordered. Not at the time of ordering, not while we waited forever to get our food, not when the food finally came out. Some food was brought to us, some sat out on the counter forever (because the buzzers don't work) where other customers picked up their orders. Who knows how much spit ended up on the food! We kept munching and kept thinking something is missing. We looked under the bread and didn't see what was stated on the menu so we finally asked and were told they were out of what we ordered. Absolutely unacceptable but useless at this point after waiting 20+ minutes for sandwiches and beverages and being faced by someone extremely unapologetic and unmotivated to correct the situation. So, prices definitely not worth what you get here. Hit or miss in terms of food and beverages for both quality and taste. Disappointing that the coffee was so sour and bitter tasting. Hoping for a nice smooth cup. Everything we ordered and customer service received here...unreliable at best. Worth the drive? Nope. If in the immediate area and needing caffeine, maybe, but definitely not worth going out of your way. Parking tight on the weekends. Was so hoping to love this place because we need more independent warm, cozy, welcoming coffeehouses. But service, food, coffee at this point were all very disappointing. Big improvements in all areas? Well, maybe we'll return and try again, but the poor first impression received on this visit will be hard to motivate a return in order to improve this rating and review.

The young lady running the shop is absolutely amazing and her son is a really nice young man. I have met her husband once as well. Usually I drop by after soccer to pick up a few cups of iced coffee after picking up pastries from Arno's and lunch from the Pit Stop, also at Gilbert's Corner. She has a good selection of milk options (Oat, Whole, 1/2 & 1/2) and even have/use organic maple syrup as a sweetener option that is not too sweet but mixes well with the coffee. So far the Peruvian they had last week has been my absolute favorite. It was strong but smooth, just how I like it, and the temperature was a hot but not too hot. The iced coffees are absolutely fantastic. They don't have a website (it's parked at GoDaddy) but I did list it. They do have an Insta listed. https://www.instagram.com/bluemontcoffee/ @bluemontcoffee

After parking around the corner and figuring out the correct sidewalk, I was amazed at how spacious Jirani is with plenty options for gathering, including outside tables, shared lobby spaces, and tucked-away booths in the back. Even though we chatted a while before ordering, no one pressured us to buy something in order to stay. I decided to try a hot chai with oat milk and a cinnamon scone. Both were quite delicious, and they even offered to warm the pastry for me. The chai had a lot of flavor and paired very well with the cinnamon. We ended up staying there for a couple hours, and the back booth was perfect to spread out for our planning session. I wouldn't hesitate to return here the next time I need to be in the area. It's perfect to grab a bite and get things done solo or with a group!

Introduction to 2022 alphabet runner-up series & what got me all the way out to Manassas that…read moreSaturday: Now onto 2022 runner-ups in alphabet series. Incredibly, all 3 of the 2022 runner-up were in Virginia as I live in Anne Arundel County, MD, but that's just how it worked out with Jirani Coffee House being the furthest from my home at a staggering 53 miles away. It was one of those strange Saturdays where I ended up further and further from my home throughout the day. There was something expensive I was shopping for (bed) where I wanted to test in person as opposed to buying online without knowing. It was in a bedding store in the Tysons area, which I ended up buying from them in the end. Then, there was an astronomy Meetup out at the Air & Space Museum out in Chantilly, so I was like I'm already out in Tysons, and in the 11 years living in the DMV, I need to visit this location of Air & Space. The astronomy Meetup was canceled due to overcast weather, which I didn't realize until after I got there, but I enjoyed the museum until closing time. I weighed options and saw a coffee & comedy Meetup even further from my home in Manassas, which I decided to do since the astronomy event was canceled, and I had already driven all that way. Experience at Jirani: This was a cute coffee house in historic downtown Manassas. The iced chai was excellent, and the staff was friendly. Then, the comedy at nearby ART Factory was great too as was the museum which had some free wine & hors d'oeuvres. If I'm ever in Manassas, I'd definitely try to get back to Jirani!

It's located in the lobby/hallway of the building - it's a small counter. I ordered the largest cold brew they offer - with Half n' Half. The guy behind the counter provided the container of Half n' Half to me to add the amount I wanted. Good, strong cold brew! Got my neurons firing! The only thing I will ding them on is - I'd like a larger cup size offering for the cold brew. There is no seating here. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was good! #MisterFrench

P.S. - while I don't know if they have the loyalty punch cards there yet, don't forget to grab one if they do or get it at the other location.

As a customer, I am ordering the exact same drinks over a long period which means those drinks are being made by many employees who come and go. The drinks stay the same. There are recipes. This guy is not making the drinks correctly and if you tell him the drink doesn't look right, he wants to argue with you instead of remaking the drink. My first encounter with him I ordered a peach oolong. Dark tea with peach syrup and peach fruit. He made a milk based tea. Clearly this will look much different and I knew that was not how the drink is made. He argued with me and I had to tell him the ingredients don't call for milk powder. Next time (months later), I ordered a tropical punch online for my husband to pick up on his way home. The tropical punch is a mix of juices but the color of the finished drink is reddish. My tropical punch came home orange looking. I asked my husband "was there a young (description) man making the drinks?" He said yes. I immediately knew it because the drink (totally different from the first time) looked wrong. Before this young man came to work there, my orders were NEVER made wrong. I will drive to Haymarket from now on. Smh.
