Great, relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed it, and will go back. The coffee was good; the pastries were okay.

Introduction to 2022 alphabet runner-up series & what got me all the way out to Manassas that Saturday: 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! read more

This is a dope spot to just pull up and catch a vibe. Great ambiance Big up Jirani!! read more

Not impressed. I waited 30 minutes for a mid chai tea latte and the worst chicken and waffle I've ever had. Thirty minutes for microwaved sliced soft chicken tenders. I'm annoyed. I want my money, time, and bite of calories back. The food sat on the table for all of 30 seconds before I threw it away and just left. I do not get the hype. read more

The Service was fast and friendly. Lattes were strong and perfect for a windy afternoon. The cafe was warm and a bit dark inside: read more

The shop itself is really cute. They have this little library area with an acoustic guitar where you can lounge at. The ladies at the register were very helpful and patient with us when we were ordering. For drinks, we got iced latte w/ hazelnut, white mocha, and oat milk, iced coffee w/ caramel, and a Samoa latte sub coconut w/ oat milk. Coffee was reallyyyy good-- smooth and flavorful. I didn't think it was too sweet either. The food wasn't anything that really impressed me, but it was tasty. read more

Nice selection of sweets and the caramel latte and London fog we ordered were delicious, probably the best London fog I've ever had. The amount lavender was perfect! We also ordered a blonde brownie which was very good and an Oreo cookie mousse which was ok but would've been better if it was cold. Cozy ambiance with exposed brick walls, a stage for live music, and a library where they hold author signings or you can rent for meetings. It has a nice vibe. read more

Went to listen to live jazz on Saturday. We didn't know they were not serving food during the event. What coffeeshop doesn't serve food!!! We were calling all day to make sure our reservation went through. There's something wrong with the phone system. When you press 1 as directed the call disconnects. The website is not user friendly. This can be such an amazing place if they try a little harder. read more

Was a great vibe. Had really nice music. I loved how the scene was structured. It made it hard for a lot of people to be there, but it was still really nice. It felt like a cozy coffee shop library. I loved my coffee. read more

This place is an absolute treat!. The cakes are perfect--moist,. rich,. and beautifully made., I had the lemon drizzle cake, and it was light, zesty, and just the right amount of sweetness., Pairing it with their freshly brewed tea was an amazing combo. The tea selection is extensive,. with everything from calming chamomile to bold Earl Grey. The coffee was fantastic as well,, smooth and strong with a perfect balance of flavors., The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for a peaceful break or a cozy afternoon with friends., The staff are welcoming, and the whole experience is just so relaxing., read more

Used to work here YEARS ago. Definitely loved the atmosphere and quality of the espresso when I was here. I stopped by again, everyone there is very welcoming and friendly as always. For sure a nice and cozy spot to get some work done. Food is fresh and tasty as well. The one flaw here is that the drinks are NOT consistent. If you get the same drink everyday, it'll always taste different. Whether it be the shots taste watery or the amount of sweetness is always different. So you really don't know what you'll get. Other than that love it (: read more

Love the environment. Lots of tables to work and outlets. Friendly staff and good coffee!

Jirani in Swahili means neighbor, and I think this coffeehouse epitomizes the community feel that the name harkens to. The coffeehouse is very cute, and an amazing place to come and study with ample seating, booth seating in the back, and a reading room. There is also a stage for events, and we came at a time when they had their monthly open mic story sharing event where people from the community came in and just told stories about their lives. It was pretty awesome, and you could feel the appreciative and tight knit social fabric energy. read more

Overall, the experience was manageable and calm. The atmosphere was quiet, and the staff worked efficiently without making things feel rushed. read more

Cool ambiance. Workers seemed annoyed at the passing train. I can imagine the loudness can get annoying. I ordered the chicken and waffles and did not realize that some sort of mayo would be used as a dressing. I would have preferred for the mayo to be in a side dish. It didn't make sense to mix the seasoned mayo with syrup. That was the weirdest flavor combination. Please serve separately in the future. I had ordered this dish because I wanted the savory chicken to pair with the sweet waffle and was disappointed. read more

Great atmosphere! Latte was 50% foam and weak flavor. Everything bagel was a joke . Shop should look at Manhattan bagel or even Costco to see what an everything bagel looks like.. if I ever go there again I will only try coffee and maybe that is good. read more

Great building lots of different seating choices. Excellent scone and chai. Would love of it had a wood stove or real fireplace

Jirani Coffee House has been around since 2015 and offers a food, drink, and a dessert menu. We came here before an event in the area, and ordered: +Samoa Caramel Latte +a Cinnamon Roll Latte +a tart The lattes were a little watered down and could have been more strong; the specialty flavors didn't seem to be noticeable and just seemed to add a slight sweetness to the coffee. I did request my drink to be extra hot, but it wasn't. The tart was warmed up and was a good size; could be shared as a bite of a treat with drinks. Staff were friendly, and there were plenty of seating options. I liked that the coffee shop had a nice relaxed vibe where you can sit to catch up with friends or come in to do some work. Parking can be found in the lot, about a few hundred feet away. +lattes could be more strong and served more hot +friendly staff +parking lot nearby read more

DH and I went here on a Saturday morning around 9:30 for coffee and a chat. It was bigger than I thought and nicely decorated inside. There is a main room with tables and chairs and big sofa like chairs, a library room with book shelves full of books and then a room with several large booths. There are 3- small tables outside also. It was pretty empty which was nice. The coffee selection was good. DH got a black coffee. They had a lovely blackberry iced tea with no sugar which I enjoyed. This is going to be a regular Saturday am spot. read more

I love going there to study, but recently there has been this one specific worker that keeps coming up to me and being quite rude. All I want to do is study but she keeps making it an issue for me to do so. I wanted to go towards the back to study since the tables are bigger and its more quiet there...and she told me I couldn't go back there and that I had to sit in the front because teenagers would go back there to skip school and get high. I am an adult in college, and was by myself. I wish she would have asked me my age instead of demanding me to sit at one of the tables in the front. I asked the other workers about it and they were nice and told me that of course I could go sit in the back. This worker deliberately stopped me in my tracks, and I just left because I felt so bad. read more

December 2021 - COVID Review: Partially glad that my Amtrak train got delayed so that I would have a chance to finally try this place! It's conveniently located right across the train tracks of the Manassas VRE/Amtrak stop. It was definitely spacious enough for my husband and I to be able to come in with our suitcases without feeling like we were in anybody's way. The baristas were super nice too and accommodating when we mentioned food allergies before ordering our lattes. I loved the holiday drink menus they had for the month too! It was a great experience and I would be back the next time I'm in Old Town! read more

Location and ambiance are strong points - many cozy places to sit. However, the drinks are very mediocre. I expected more of this indie cafe, but the milk in the cappuccino I ordered was scalded and tasted cooked. It seems the baristas need to be retrained how to steam milk. The cashier was not knowledgeable when I asked questions about the roast or practices. read more

I drove 45 minutes to try out this coffee shop with good reviews. I ordered an avocado toast and a latte while planning to get some work done. Unfortunately, the avocado toast was underwhelming, especially considering the price, but the latte was good. The shop has plenty of indoor seating, customer service was fine, and they even have outdoor seating. Parking was a bit tricky since the nearby spots had hour limits. The café is located by the railroad and has a cozy, charming vibe--cute for a relaxing afternoon coffee. read more

Jirani Coffee House - a pizza in a box - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Came here a week ago and had a wonderful Samoas Latte. Perfect amount a sweetness. We sat down to work some while drinking it, they had some peaceful jazz playing. Tried to come back this morning exclusively for that drink. Met with club type music bumping. The drink is way sweeter to the point of unbalanced. We even asked for an extra shot, which should be the opposite of sweet. Also their wifi randomly broke within the time between visits, so it wasn't working today. When we asked about it, the staff confirmed it and said only the manager could fix it. By the time we were leaving, the staff seemed to be all congregating in a corner socializing rather than getting the wifi fixed. For a coffee shop a downed wifi is pretty inexcusable. They also have a location that's been "coming soon" in Manassas Park for probably 18 months now. Considering how they run their business. I'm not surprised & sad it not another coffee shop being built in its place read more

This is a coffee place but the Latte was 99% milk. 1% diluted espresso. lukewarm. and took 10mins to get to me. Almost missed my train. Cost almost 8 bucks too. Highway robbery. Didn't even pay that much in manhattan. In the lords name, I rebuke this place read more

Great coffee and pastries and cheesecake (when available). Cute ambiance and various seating nooks.

The place is just perfect. Working remotely? There are private, quiet nooks you can use. The desserts are amazing and must be tried! Great space for friends to catch up. Staff is nice and very accommodating. read more

Food was very yummy but slow to come out. Latte was good, but cold brew was not my favorite. Nice outdoor seating area.

i'm not from the area, and was looking for a cozy coffee spot. i found Jirani and was pleasantly surprised by the large cafe filled with many seating options, including wifi and a library. i ordered an iced latte with lavender syrup, and it was okay. for a coffee place, i was expecting a bit better. most of their coffees are not very sweet, but i prefer it that way. their ham and cheese panini wasn't bad! i loved that it came with pickles on the side. it seems that they use honey ham, which i am a big fan of. the only downside is that it took them a while to make the food. if you're in no rush and looking for a place to get some work done, it's worth a visit. read more

Hands down best coffee I've had in the area. I don't really like coffee but their white chocolate mocha and chai are chefs kiss. All their pastries and bakery items should be shared because they are huge. Plus I just love the vibe of the place. read more

food is absolutely excellent! Homemade the best coffee cake we've ever had. The waffles with fruit was amazing. Needed no syrup. Was crisp and tender. Flavorful fruit was sweet and ripe. The lavender latte dream is a hit every time my absolute favorite. This is the coffeehouse to be in Manassas or Northern Virginia. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Place is always clean including restrooms. There's ample space to sit inside or out tables for large groups as well as great computer working areas. read more
