The tomboy with the beanie working there barley looked at me, like she didn't want to be bothered. Not friendly at all. Acted like serving me was a chore. Maybe I'm from a different generation but a "hello" ain't too much to ask for. They used to always welcome people. Definitely won't be coming back for a while.

They updated their software where you can now enter your phone number for rewards. The seasonal drinks are such a fun and yummy addition.

I would highly recommend!

With plenty of open and spacious seating, its a great place to sit back, enough some coffee and food, and just work, read a book, or even relax. Food wise, the pastries are delicious. Not overly sweet as they may appear, but can absolutely fill a sweet craving. The coffee was quite tasty and delightful. The staff is friendly and attentive to each patron. The prices may seem higher than other coffeeshops, but that's can be expected in the heart of Fairfax. Overall, a great coffeeshop that I love to frequent when I'm in the area.

I was disappointed that they offered my coffee with "cream" but served it with milk! When I inquired, they said we don't have cream. A coffee shop without cream or half and half as an option? Boo! Also, my coffee was lukewarm warm at best. :( Finally, their system for serving your order could use an upgrade; after ordering they call your name, but the high ceilings and industrial ambience makes it hard to hear when you're called. Not a big deal, but you have to really listen as another patron almost took my order even though my name was clearly marked on the cup!

With the barista's help, both of our orders came out great! The boy working was very patient with us even with how busy they were on this Saturday afternoon. They have a wide variety of selections and he explained pretty much everything to us. All of their baked goods are homemade. We got a brownie after the last piece of Red Velvet cake was taken right before we ordered. We were thrilled with our decision as the brownie was delicious! This small business was full of hard workers who were also extremely friendly. It was a very cute place right on Main Street, modern interior with a touch of historical character.

A huge step up in quality from Starbucks. The interior is pleasant and cozy while you wait. Service was friendly on a Saturday afternoon at 1:30pm - they will add a splash of whole milk to your cafe americano if you ask. If you have folks who are picky about coffee, this is the place to bring them!

Merge Coffee has incredible coffee, well crafted specialty drinks, and delicious pastries. The comfy seating is hard to beat, and the service by the staff is wonderful as well.

I first caught Rick's Roasters at the Spotsylvania Farmer's Market at the Route 3-Gordon Rd…read morecommuter lot, but then I found out they'll let you come to their office where they roast coffee almost daily. If you are looking for the best locally roasted coffee with the roast date on the bag [not the best used by date, this is important!], look no further. You can ask them to bag for you something they've roasted recently and just like that, freshly roasted full beans. I have bought dozens of bags of roasted beans from Ricks - there is nothing better than these beans in the grinder first thing in the morning/afternoon/evening/night.

This place roasts amazing coffee. One of the best I've seen. You can tell that the owners are very…read morepassionate about making coffee too. I bought an excellent dark roast here, most places tend to burn that type of roast but these guys did it perfectly. They also have a type of coffee that is kept in oak barrels. I love when wine is aged that way but never tried coffee like that. Looking forward to trying that next. The staff is very friendly as well. A+

Nagadi Coffee Roastery was on my Google Maps list for so long that I've forgotten about it until my…read morefriend sent me an Instagram Reels video about Nagadi that went viral in the DMV area. I saw the video and knew it was going to have phenomenal pour overs and espresso drinks. Since the cafe only opens on Saturdays from 8-1, I knew I had to make an effort to stop by despite the 30+ minute drive. Unfortunately, many other people had the same exact idea as me, and the staff was definitely overwhelmed by the popularity. There was a long wait for espresso drinks (at least 30 minutes). All bags of beans were sold out (I'd recommend ordering online and picking up or getting it delivered in the future). POUR OVER / DRIP - 5.35 By the time I ordered, they were out of most pour over options so I tried the Costa Rica Cumbres del Poas since I wanted a fruitier coffee. Fortunately, the wait for pour overs was pretty short, about 10 minutes. The flavors were fruity, but not overwhelmingly so, with a lighter mouthfeel. The pour over was a bit more diluted than I'm used to, but I still enjoyed it greatly. CORTADO - 4 After a 45 minute wait, I finally got my cortado. This has got to be one of the best cortados I've had in the DMV. The espresso was bright and fruity and paired well with the steamed whole milk. It was definitely worth the wait! If Nagadi was closer, I can see myself going 1-2x a month. I'd highly recommend this coffee roaster to any coffee snob looking for high quality coffee in the area.

My favorite thing though? Their fun monthly coffee samplers. It's such a creative idea and keeps things interesting. They rotate flavors that match the season, so there's always something new to try. I always get things iced and add the whip, so much better than hot coffee! Honestly though, the coffee will depend on the barista because it seemed to have a new person each month and it tasted so different even when I went back twice to get the same sampler. Thats my only reason for a 4 star. If you love switching up your coffee shops and discovering new favorites, the monthly sampler alone is worth the visit.

Chantilly also typically has a shorter line in case that's helpful!

It was much livelier (more customers and staff) on the weekend and the drinks took less than 2 minutes to come out. On a few indoor tables there are no laptop signs and when the weather's nice, the outdoor tables fill up. The staff is very helpful in recommending types of milk that would pair well for certain drinks. The mango sticky rice is a favorite with our family. Matcha, a surprising crunch when you get a bit of the crispy rice, and (not too) sweet refreshing soda. They suggest sipping a bit before stirring due to the carbonation. Next we liked the Sumo Spritz which gives a sweet citrus taste to the coffee. The match in bloom is more floral, and while we liked it, our family favored the other two more.
