    Breakfast croissant
    Frank P.

    Loved my breakfast sandwich! Can't say there isn't much excitement involving coffee, but maybe I'm spoiled from where I live. The outdoor area is spacious and allows dogs.

    Back patio

    Amazing!! I love it overall. Service-was okay, I have a feeling the waitress was new and overwhelmed, not gonna hold it against her, since it still seemed like she was working her butt off. Ambience was pretty loud but it was packed, I recommend reservations. Food was AMAZING!! I will definitely be back and try other stuff on the menu, absolutely loved their coffee selection it was delicious

    Have come to this bakery a number of times. Overall, the interior is well-decorated and cozy. There are elevated fire pits outside, a real fireplace indoors, large windows, and upstairs seating with couches. The pastries both taste and look good! They cycle through desserts every season and it's fun to stop by and grab a treat. The mocha is decadent, the richest I've found locally with house-made chocolate ganache. As for the food, it's just okay. I've gotten their sandwiches and breakfast bowl, it tasted fine but didn't stand out to me and wasn't worth the price. Main thing that prevents me from visiting more is the internet policy. You only get 1 hr, then you have to pay for internet which is a bit wild to me. There are also only a few outlets so it's really not friendly for studying or working from home. Parking varies. There's a small lot connected that can easily be filled up on busy evenings or weekends. If that's the case there's parking across the street about a block away, but it is a bit of a inconvenience. Overall, I would come for the ambience, desserts, and mocha on occasion. Not the food.

    Never disappoints! Love the food, service and ambience. My Asian salad with salmon was amazing. Enjoyed a cup of Cortado as well. We were 11 and all of us enjoyed our meals as well as the ambience. Thank you again!

    I was in the area having dinner with some friends, and we decided to stop into Godfrey's Bakery and Cafe afterwards for coffee and desserts. This place is co-located with the Meeting House hotel (https://www.yelp.com/biz/meeting-house-falls-church-2?osq=Meeting+House), so just be aware that parking is extremely limited as both businesses share the small surface lot. As you walk up to Godfrey's, the first thing you notice is the outdoor back patio for outdoor seating. It is quite nice and well appointed; it's more of the formal "sit down" portion of Godfrey's, as opposed to the bakery portion of the restaurant. There is also a small outdoor seating area towards the front of Godfrey's, but the constant traffic along Rt. 7 didn't appeal to us, so we opted to sit indoors. And the interior is quite stunning. Hardwood floors, display racks of breads and baked goods, and plentiful seating (couches and tables) - and a fireplace, which sadly was not lit while we were there. I ordered a matcha latte and it was...fine. Nothing special, just fine. After ordering, you're given a number and the beverage is brought to your table upon completion. The oat milk ($1 upcharge) was creamy enough, but the matcha flavor was too subtle. The foam art leaf was a nice touch. TBH, the drink was tepid, bordering on lukewarm. I made this comment to one of the servers when they were delivering food/drink to the others at the table, and they just remarked, "we prepare all our drinks to a certain temperature. On your next visit, you can ask for it to be 'extra hot.'" Noted. Another detraction is that Godfrey's prides itself on baking all of its items in-house, but my group found those items to be quite average. You pass by the open window kitchen on the way to the restrooms. You can observe staff kneading dough, forming loaves of bread, and other pastries. I forgot to take a pic of my croissant, but it was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. Granted, this was 6:30pm, so who knows when that item was "really" baked, but I was assured all pastries are "fresh." Nonetheless, we had an enjoyable time chatting and relaxing as we sipped our beverages and nibbled on our small bites. And that's how one should really view Godfrey's: as a cool place to hang out. I also think prices are on the higher side for the quality of the food. My latte and croissant was about $14-ish dollars (with tax and tip). I dunno if I'd return, since there is fierce competition in the bakery/cafe game in NOVA these days.

    Not my favorite...

    Gorgeous, relaxing place. Self serve up front. Table service outside. Love their farm to table menu. Tried their hamburger and salad. Wasn't what was expected, but was very good nonetheless. Note: They open at 7am but food isn't avail until 8, except for pastries. My second visit there I ordered the ribeye sliders to go. So delicious! The next time there I tried their chicken. I was expecting at least a half chicken for the price, but only got a drumstick and thigh. This, unfortunately, was a disappointment. I am still loving their matcha latte.

    Shrimp Bowl
    Steve N.

    First time at Godfrey's and it was as good as everyone says. Juan are server was outstanding. Service at Godfrey's is on point. We order off the brunch menu and were not disappointed. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The table next to us ordered a breakfast pizza and that looking really good. Plan on ordering that on the next visit. The parking lot is very crowded as it is shared with a small hotel. A parking attendant is on site and tries to assist in finding a spot for you. Overall great experience at Godfrey's.

    Pastry case
    Caroline K.

    This is such a cool spot! I went around dinner time and I was so impressed at how lively it was still inside! They have a gorgeous giant fire that makes the whole atmosphere very cozy. Their pastries are so impressive and fun, I loved the variety. They do really impressive latte art which was a really fun touch. All the servers were great and kind

    Matcha latte
    Caroline R.

    Godfrey's is where I go when I want to treat myself. Everything about this place feels like European luxury, from the design details, to the artisan patisserie, it always feels like a splurge! I found our server to be particularly lovely this time around. I'm a big fan of the quiches, and their matcha lattes. And their desserts....worth every last bite.

    Mocha
    Nathan D.

    Service | coffee | salad+chicken Service: the service was top notch. They have 2-3 people walking around helping out with water, busing, and other random request. The aesthetic is chic Johanna Gaines with wood and warm accents. So it is pretty welcoming and cozy. Coffee: I had the mocha which was above average. I would encourage others to get it. It was rich, good flavor, well done art, and it came in a substantial 16oz mug. Salad + Chicken: Monica had the salad and added chicken. The salad was substantial and the chicken was a lot more than anticipated. Monica had to save 1/3 of it and she showed up pretty hungry. While the price was $25, which felt high initially, when we saw the amount of food, we thought the price was relatively appropriate. Pro tip: there are multiple areas to sit in. The front outside has a good amount of street noise. The back area is large and is a bit quieter. But, people do not "self bus" so you will have to be prepared for the birds that will be around picking through un eaten food left on tables. Lastly, inside is relatively large and has moderate noise based on the group of people inside. Pro tip: the internet is free for the first hour and then $35 an hour after that. So, be prepared to either pay a lot of money or only be online for an hour. It is not a spot where you can hang all day and do work given the price points.

    Prosciutto, Onion, and Arugula Pizza
    Khoa L.

    Thought it would be a cute place for brunch but was left disappointed by the food. The space itself I think is really cute and I think the staff is very friendly. However, it can be fairly loud on the downstairs part. If you want to eat proper brunch and have a sit down meal, you have to go upstairs where it's less crowded. Downstairs is more for working and casual dining. The choripan sandwich was incredibly salty and their prosciutto, onion, and arugula pizza was bland and lacked any type of flavor.

    Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience. The service was disorganized, and the cashier who seemed to also be the manager did not handle things confidently or professionally. It felt like there was a lack of experience and knowledge about the food. We visited around noon, and they were already out of croissants, which was surprising. It was our first time there, and the overall impression was not great. We ordered the pizza, empanada, and a breakfast sandwich. None of them stood out in terms of flavor. We also tried a strawberry soda-type drink, which was honestly not good. If a salad already comes with the dish, it would be helpful to inform customers before letting them order another one. There was no dressing within the salad and tasted horrible. The only positive was the outdoor seating -- the atmosphere outside was pleasant. Other than that, we were not impressed and likely won't be returning.

    Passed this on my way in. I started out with high hopes.

    Come for the atmosphere, stay for the... atmosphere. Godfrey's has done a great job of creating a welcoming, comfortable space. I especially liked the large fireplace and sofa seating. They've also put a lot of thought into their menu. There are multiple options, ranging from sweet to savory and from breakfast to lunch/dinner. Unfortunately, I found their execution to be a bit lacking. I ordered a Godfrey's Breakfast Croissant and a hot chai latte. Let's take a look at what my $32 (including tax and tip) bought me. The large croissant was dry, probably from a combination of over-toasting and being too old. Whatever the reason, it crumbled when I tried to pick it up. Inside, the eggs were a runny mess, and the few slices of partially melted cheese were tasteless. In fact, the only thing that contributed any flavor was the two strips of bacon that were in there with the egg juice. The chai latte was equally unimpressive. It was mostly warmed milk with the barest hint of chai flavoring. As I said up top, this is a great place to sit and chat. That's especially true if you can score a seat on the sofa. However, you might want to consider taking your eating elsewhere.

    Is this an actual bakery that sells bread by the loaf -- or only meals as a restaurant/ cafe? There are loaves of bread in the photos -- but no mention on the menus. And no prices.

    Absolutely. You can see the chefs creating as you enter through the back entrance. I always park in back.

    I've been to Godfrey's twice so far and loved both experiences. However, during my last visited I noticed they had implemented a time limit on their wifi and require payment after an hour of use. Is that still a thing?

    Good morning, Alison, thank you for giving us a chance to host you at Godfrey's! I am glad to hear you have enjoyed your visits. Regarding WIFI, yes, we have an hour limit on free WIFI in order to provide other guests an opportunity to sit down to… 

    Are dogs allowed?

    Godfrey's allows only service dogs inside and all other dogs are allowed in front and back patios.

I've been here a couple few times over the years and I enjoyed coming here last night. I had a sampling of a bourbon and did a red wine which both were nicely done.

Manisha and Prashsant, owners of Stone Manor Inn, were personally involved in making sure all went smoothly with our cocktail and dinner party, and it most certainly did! SMI is a lovely old country inn on 14 acres, I believe, with a number of different venues (indoors and out) for meetings, parties, and weddings. The rooms (7 in total) were eclectic, in a good way. All four of their largest rooms that we occupied were spacious, with king beds and spa tubs with separate showers. All were well maintained and clean upon check-in. We had no complaints.

I was on the fence to book this place given its hefty price tag, and glad I went for it and completely agree with the glowing 5 star reviews. The bubbly host Manisha is very warm and welcoming. She cordially gave us a 20 min tour around the property, which was built in 1908, and even gave me a bonus tour of the other rooms afterwards. She kindly answered all of our questions and didn't rush us. The Peacecock Room is the most spacious and best room (aside from the bridal suite), elaborately decorated in peacocks. We loved it! The little touches like the handmade soap, a set of wine glasses, and a wine opener made the stay so memorable and special. While the rooms aren't temperature controlled, the electric flameless fireplace kept the room warm. The double capacity jacuzzi was perfect for my hubby and I and even had lights (some of the other rooms have smaller jacuzzi, so be sure to check). The rooms were clean minus a couple of lady bugs and stink bugs (which is too be expected out in the country). Dr. Fauci's assistant stayed here and Manisha informed us of the extensive sanitation process, even the pillows and decorations are quarantined for 6 days! The backyard is well groomed and really spacious with a nice patio and heat lamp, which kept us warm sitting outside in the frigid winter. Our dog loved running around! You can see the stars and constellations really well. It would make a great wedding venue! The Christmas decorations around the property are really nice. The owners really go the extra mile and put a lot of TLC into the property. The 6 course breakfast is delicious and bursting with flavor. Between the veggie quiche, cheesy potatoes, scone, pancakes, yogurt, and fresh OJ, I was stuffed! The fresh butterscotch scone was divine and devoured my mine and my hubby's! The cheesy potato had a nice spicy kick. Everything was so fresh and delicious. All the courses come out at once on a large tray. While my hubby and I chose to sit at the communal table (the chairs are roughly 6 feet apart), you can take the tray up to your room. Manisha and her family greeted us and thoroughly explained the dishes and chatted with us for a bit, even her son made an appearance! The bed and breakfast has a nice bar with wine, cider, and alcohol based on an honor code system. Water and soda is complementary, they even had Coke 0! The complementary fudgy brownies by the breakfast area during the day were sweet and tasty. Again the little complimentary stuff gives this bed and breakfast a nice resort feel. Very relaxing stay and looking forward to coming back!
