I LOVE KILLER ESP! This has been a go to place since I started working in Old Town Alexandria back…read more2017! I cant believe I'm just doing my first review. To begin, this place is super cute; everyone is beyond friendly; from drinks to food, I haven't had anything that I dont like there; a great place to come in to do some work and enjoy your crafted beverage. If you haven't ate, their beef paddy's are my goto! Before becoming pescatarian I used to get their beef patty with my nutella latte. (I need to try the veggie now) Today, I got an Iced Pistachio Matcha drink off their Spring Menu. It was amazing! If you are in the Old Town Alexandria area, make sure you stop by x grab a drink x grab a snack baked freshly everyday!

I got a Cupid's bow latte that was special for Valentine's - the drink was so good with white chocolate and raspberry! I enjoyed my drink while relaxing there for a bit. The staff were fast and nice with my drink too. I'd like to stop by this place more often.

The chicken berek was fantastic, well spiced and not overly stuffed, nice herbs as well. The important part is the excellent pastries. Service is very nice and authentic. Ambience is a bit... too bright. Very well air conditioned in the summer. Just a regular shop though. Will definitely return! Also got the Pistachio Pakhlava which is also amazing after the often. Eat too fast for the pic... lol...

The savory pastries are also very good, and their blueberry latte comes recommended (I couldn't stray from the Nutella latte though!) There are ample plugs for working while you enjoy your treats and the seats are pretty comfortable.

I talked with another employee and asked if you quit accepting cash because that was how I was planning to pay. He told me it was because they were out of change I paid the exact amount of $6.31 and received my coffee. It was a minor thing to me but the next person coming in may have been planning to pay cash and have the exact change as I did and leave because of the sign. The sign should have read out of change please pay with exact amount or use credit card. I am giving you 5 stars because I enjoy your business and want it to improve and succeed not lower your rating

WOW! Another great experience at the other PJ'S Coffee! Per my last review for their Maryland…read morelocation, here in VA was just as bomb (although i never expected less). Came in to get some beignets after pedicures for a flight and it was EVERYTHING we were hoping for! From the customer service to the cleanliness- we walked out completely satisfied! As I wrote this, i'm sad I can't remember the young lady who took our order, but I just wanted to thank her for her suggestions && friendliness. Now that I know here is just as good as I wanted && expected it to be, I will for sure be bringing my colleagues in or suggesting here for breakfast at the office on Tuesdays! Who wouldn't want great coffee && beignets?! ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T GET A PHOTO YOU KNOW WE GOT BEIGNETS TOO!

Walking into Turkish Coffee Lady feels like stepping into another world entirely. Gizem White…read morepoured her love into every single detail of the Golden Horn High Tea -- gold-plated cups, homemade pistachio baklava, rose Turkish delight, and a hand-painted copper kettle that anchors the whole experience. This isn't just high tea. It's a cultural journey that unfolds in courses -- tea first, then Turkish delights, then sandwiches, and finally Turkish coffee to close it all out. The sweets are made with intention, the presentation is stunning, and the warmth Gizem brings to everything she does makes you feel like you're sitting at a friend's table rather than a coffee shop. Old Town Alexandria is lucky to have her. If you haven't been to Turkish Coffee Lady yet, that needs to change -- and the Golden Horn High Tea is exactly where you start.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 10/10

It was quite cramped and chaotic, and I got stuff to go because I couldn't even figure out if there was anywhere to sit. Their vanilla chai was aptly named as the vanilla flavor dominated. A milky chocolate pistachio baklava was indulgent and tasty. The price for these items was a bit much for what I got. The spread had some interesting options and I could imagine coming back on a less busy day and having a better experience.

I loved everything! Here's what we really enjoyed: * Magnolia Cream Crepe - I used to have this at a local Thai food festival and never found a place that served it till now. It comes with five crispy crepes that are folded like thin cookie cups, filled with a light cream. * mango sticky rice - tastes exactly as expected, sweet coconut cream sticky rice topped with ripe mangoes. * affogato Lots of pretty picturesque walls and decor for photo ops. The plate settings are pretty and dessert presentations, even down to the menu screams "take a photo"! So don't mind me that I took plenty! Even the bathroom is cool with their Dyson faucet and dryer.
