Updated Review: Came back with some friends. I enjoyed the Mexi Cali Bowl and White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha. The Mexi Cali bowl was very filling (enough for two meals). My friend was a little disappointed because she got the southwest sandwich on sourdough bread- she wanted to sub the meat with turkey but they said they don't sub things for sandwiches. I still enjoyed my food and would still come back again. Highly recommend checking it out!

Nutella Latte

Happened to stumble along this small cafe and will now become a usual customer. This tiny cafe hold a lot of heart for sure, you can tell it's locally popular and the staff was kind and attentive. The cafe does have limited seating but people come in and out! The food is amazing, i'm a big fan and steak and cheeses and have added them to my top 10! can't wait to come again

Vibes | Options | Pumpkin Chai Vibes: This spot has an amazing atmosphere--bright, cozy, and modern. The visuals are clean and inviting, making it a great place whether you're grabbing a quick bite, catching up with friends, or settling in to get some work done. There is no music, and the noise level is low. The seating is plentiful, and the overall vibe is relaxed yet lively. It's the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time--in the best way. Options: The menu strikes an excellent balance between traditional coffee shop favorites and more substantial options. You'll find all the usual pastries, teas, and espresso drinks, but they also offer a surprising variety of lunch and breakfast items. The wraps and sandwiches are fresh and flavorful, and the warm snacks are perfect if you're looking for something light but satisfying. It's nice to see a café that caters equally well to both coffee enthusiasts and people looking for a quick meal. Pumpkin Chai: I tried the Pumpkin Chai Latte, and it was outstanding--rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The pumpkin flavor came through beautifully without being overpowering, and the drink struck that perfect balance between sweet and savory--definitely one of the best seasonal drinks I've had in a while. Pro Tips: - They offer a 10% military discount, which is a nice touch. - Plenty of parking is available in the complex, so no need to stress about finding a spot.

Cow Rib Eye Cheesesteak and Chipotle Rib Eye Cheesesteak

We tried Lil Cow Cafe Bistro and everything was so delicious! We got the iced strawberry matcha lattes, chipotle rib eye, and the Cow rib eye sandwich, the flavors were great. The vibe inside was chill and really nice, perfect for a casual meal. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

3.5 stars TL;DR: Would come for coffee, but would skip the food Made a quick stop for some coffee and breakfast. The interior was very cute, and there is plenty of seating. FOOD: ~Iced Americano (4/5): Solid ~Morning burrito (3/5): Had good flavor, but it is VERY small especially for $10+ and does not come with any sides. ~Cow Ribeye (3/5): Meat was most like ground beef than chopped steak. The gochujang flavor was a little too strong. The bread was untoasted, so it was difficult to eat/got soggy quickly ~Fries (3/5): Came with the cow ribeye. They were okay, but under seasoned. Would come back here for a coffee pitstop if I am in the area.

French Fries

Came in for takeout on a Wednesday afternoon after seeing other Yelp reviews. Smallish dining area with about 10 small tables (one high-top). My mushroom cheesesteak was really tasty- added the garlic sauce ($1 extra). Sandwich came with fries and reasonably priced. I grabbed a bag of deli chips because I didn't read the sign saying fries were included I'd come here again for the sub and to try a frappe.

Turkey Club
Ashley C.

Excellent food and drinks. I've had the Turkey Club on toasted sourdough and it was the best ever. My husband got the regular lil cow with fries...all around amazing and full of flavor. The vibe is super cute with all the decor. Great service and a nice spot for a quick delicious meal.

Breakfast menu

Lil Cow Cafe Bistro, located in Rolling Valley Shopping Center in Burke, offers a cozy, farmhouse-like atmosphere with large windows that flood the cafe with sunlight. It serves fresh, high-quality food, especially sandwiches, with a diverse menu, friendly staff, and charming fall decorations. We loved the large logo in the center. The coffee, brewed with La Colombe beans, was excellent--robust and not watered down. We were delighted to find perfect sandwiches this morning. You can choose your bread from Whole Wheat, Soft White, Wrap, Sourdough, or Ciabatta. We highly recommend: 1. Southwest Wrap, containing grilled chicken, avocado, spinach, tomatoes, onions, provolone cheese, and Chipotle Aioli. All ingredients were fresh, tasty, and the sauce complemented everything nicely. 2. Gourmet Bacon Chicken Cheesesteak sandwich, made with grilled chicken breast, crispy bacon, and cheese on an Italian Hoagie roll, and served with French fries. The ingredients were fresh, the sauce excellent, and the bread light and not dense, resulting in a satisfying sandwich.

I found this place after searching through cafes near me. I was surprised that I've never heard or seen of this place! The inside was really spacious and homey. It had a good amount of seating and cute details on the walls that help the place stand out. I ordered the strawberry matcha for me and a strawberry lemonade for my mom and two muffins, lemon and blueberry. The muffins were really moist and fluffy! They weren't overly sweet and the lemon one had a strong flavor. The blueberry muffin didn't have that strong of a taste as the blueberries were all at the bottom of the muffin. The matcha was really good, the strawberry tasted very natural and not processed. The strawberry lemonade on the other hand was a bit too sour for my liking. I cant wait to come back and try their other items!

Turkey club
Tim L.

I tried the Turkey Club and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in awhile. The sourdough bread with the avocado and the crisp lettuce really balanced well with the turkey. I'll definitely order it again the next time I'm in the area.

Came here for a quick coffee and snack to grab! Really sweet workers that delivered great service! The coffee was not overly sweet in flavor, it was just right and their coffee cake muffin hit the spot after running errands all day. Great space for brunch or to hang out with friends.

Avo croissant with a sprinkling of hair :(
Michaele M.

Hair in sandwich. ...and this is not the first time I've had an issue with their sandwiches but it is the first time I've called for a refund, as I was too far away, at the time, to return. Looks like I'm going to have to drive out of my way another 25 minutes to get $10 refund b/c they won't do it over the phone and need the sandwhich in front of them. They just lost a regular.

Is this a good place to remote work?

You can but people are frequently jockeying for tables to sit at to eat so remote working there would occupy an otherwise viable spot. Maybe if you did it during non-rush time…

I came here on a whim after shopping for groceries for dinner and while it was busy and full of many families dining in, I was still able to secure a spot for myself in a booth. I wanted to go for the Gyro because I just craved something simple and filling for the night. That did not disappoint as the plate that had the Gyro was massive, along with a side of fries. The Gyro contained Beef and Lamb Meat with Tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and feta cheese all wrapped in Pita Bread. I would say the portion is big enough to feed 1-2 people as the portion is massive. I enjoyed eating the Gyro and I'd have to say that I'd come back for more. I also got the Baklava Ice Cream, which is a must get too. With Honey, Cinnamon and Vanilla, it is just really good and something to end the dinner with. There are non-greek options as well but honestly, the food is good all around. I would say if it's been in the area for so many decades, then I can see why people come back for more.
