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.

I personally think the ube matcha cloud is the best but the others are great too! The strawberry flavor could be a bit stronger though. While they have gone viral for the matcha drinks, that's not the only thing they offer. They have a wide range of coffee and tea drinks that are also solid! The coffee flight is also really great! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Annandale.

I'm kinda confused - I've been wanting to try this spot for a while so I popped in yesterday. There…read morewas a cute sign on the door that boldly declared, "Spring Drinks." A personal pet peve is seeing out of season decorations... I have enough trouble knowing what day it is, but upon careful reflection, I verified that it is not spring currently (Sept 10), was not most recently spring, and will not be spring next. Perhaps I should have turned around right there. When I ordered, I asked for a matcha latte with less sweetener. I assumed I was ordering a hot drink, as she didn't ask if I wanted it hot or cold - I always assume hot is the default, so that's on me. I was a little shocked to see the price was $7.50 and when I declined a tip, I could have sworn there was a little bit of a Gen Z stare... (Also seems to only be one size and it wasn't a huge drink, either.) It turned out to be iced, which I rolled with and it was good, but nothing different than Starbucks. All in all, I might just not get the concept. Not sure if they even do hot drinks after looking at other reviews. Kinda odd. Is that year-round or only in the "spring"? Probably wouldn't draw me again, but worth a try if you want a sweet drink with special flavors, iced.

My 4yo daughter has been a fan or this place and you can find something to eat for everyone. They have a drive through for the busy days which everyone appreciates, and it's super quick.

Place is spacious and has a nice ambiance. We ordered two lattes, one pistachio latte and the other a pink blossom latte. So happy that so many places offer non dairy options for the lattes. The server suggested we get them iced as they are topped with a sweet cream. Both were yummy and not overly sweet. We also ordered the croissant pudding and BLT. I love bready desserty food that is not too sweet. It came with some syrup as they advertise it as tasting like French toast. I had it without the syrup as it was sweet enough without it. Hubby had the BLT which he really enjoyed. Cute spot, bigger on the inside than it appears from the exterior and friendly staff. There was a table of 2 men sitting and discussing something, work maybe? Not too busy on a Thursday morning.

Inside is three levels and outside has two different areas. BEVS & FOOD Great selection of craft beer and food bites. Easy ordering and friendly service. AMBIANCE Both times they had live music which was awesome. My grips are the parking which is practically non-existent and you are most likely gonna be forced to park across a four lane road which is fun to traverse! Also the private party was in June and it was incredibly hot with no AC circulating and all the guests were melting. For the price my friend paid to rent the space I'd be pissed & would not recommend it. Other than that it is a neat little place if you go when the weathers nice, lol. As always peeps, please support your local small biz! Cheers!

My personal favorites have been the salted caramel latte - possibly one of the best I've ever had and NEEDS to be a regular part of the menu; as well as their black sesame latte.

I am hopeful for the day they have a brick and mortar cafe, but until then I look forward to the Sundays I am able to swing by and grab a coffee here at the farmers market.

Really amazing cafe that differentiates itself by making their entire pastry case in-house. It was…read morereally hard to select anything to eat because all the pastries were fresh and beautifully baked with toasted with a rich golden brown. I got the savory pie that was stuffed with an unctuous gumbo filling made with creole spices, the holy trinity (onions, peppers, and celery), and a generous portion of chicken. The pie pastry had a perfect flaky crumb that held the filling together. A friend had their breakfast sandwich, which had a rustic and delightful tang from the inclusion of sourdough in the biscuit batter that paired well with the thick slab of egg and crispy bacon. Incredibly savory items. I'm always gravitated towards how well a cafe can do a savory menu and this exceed my expectations. Friends I came in with who got their coffee said that it was very delicious, and the baristas can make a beautiful frothy and rich matcha latte. Its both parts technical skills to pull coffee or whisk matcha and sourcing of high-quality ingredients. Drinks make up a large part of any cafe, so to do it well here in this neighborhood cafe is exceptional. The baristas are running that place like a tight ship! Tip well!

The spots are close together and the ratio of business to spots isn't good. There is a helpful parking guide on the street side entrance, although you can also access the place in the back from the parking lot. They have entrances on both the street and parking lot sides. Inside is clean and was pretty busy despite it being near closing time. I came for a Too Good To Go bag to try this place out. Overall, the baked items tasted good. However, it's not something I would purposely make a return trip for.

Delivery review ahead…read more I was craving a really good breakfast sandwich and this place delivered just that! When I talk about quality sandwiches, Semicolon cafe wins! The packaging was handled with care so both of my sandwiches arrived nice and hot. I ordered the B.E.L.T and a grilled cheese. The B.E.L.T was a conversation starter, the bread was buttery and smooth-melts right in your mouth after each bite. The egg with corn, never tried that combo but honey, it was fantastic!!!! The bacon was quite generous and prepared with the perfect crisp and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh, complementing the sandwich. The sauce on top was a shining star! So much flavor spread evenly throughout the sandwich. My boyfriend loved his grilled cheese sandwich which came with bacon and spinach. Definitely glad that I found this place! I'll order again and this time I want to try their lattes.

It's simple, really good and one of those easy sandwiches to grab when you're in a time crunch. Parking can definitely be hit or miss since it's one of those retail spots tucked into an apartment community, which seems to be super common here in Falls Church. I also tried the chocolate bingsoo once, but unfortunately by the time it got to me it was pretty melted. I'd be willing to give it another try though, especially if I'm picking up my food in person next time. The couple of times I've gone, the lady working behind the counter has been very nice and helpful in her recommendations. Overall, it's a small, quaint little spot with plenty of outdoor seating, which would be really nice on a good weather day. I'll definitely keep coming back for that grilled cheese.
