I ordered a pink salted caramel latte and it was as delicious as it sounds, made with a quality espresso. I sipped on it slowly at a table of one and noticed a lot of other people slowing down to enjoy their coffee inside, so it would be nice if they used ceramic mugs for those staying in. Another thing I noticed is they have an omokase experience, which looked amazing! Definitely worth stopping in.

When I heard this was the only and very popular Korean-style specialty coffee shop in Arlington, I…read morehad to give it a try. Unfortunately, the quality fell short of expectations. The Vietnamese milk latte was disappointing. Where was the cafe sua da flavor? It lacked the balanced deep, dark coffee bitterness and instead tasted mostly like condensed milk, making it way too sweet. The corn latte was average as well. That said, the service was good, and the space itself is nice for studying, working, or catching up with friends.

Here's to my favorite coffee place in Arlington…read more Simona has been my weekend getaway spot for years. It is where I have spent most of my Sundays in the last couple of years. Delicious coffee, delicious cookies and some really creative and refreshing drinks as well. My most ordered things probably are the hibiscus tea, iced lattes with almond/oat milk and their cookies. Occasionally I have gotten breakfast and sandwiches from here. Everything simple yet so different than everywhere else. It is very hard to describe the difference. The cafe is small, cozy and located in a corner of Clarendon. The baristas are lovely and the service is top notch. I may be biased but it is hard to dislike anything about this place. It is one of my happy places. 5/5 must go there!

Simona Day is a really cute coffee spot with great vibes. It seems like a good place to do work or…read morejust hang out for a bit. The inside is pretty small though, so it can be hard to find a seat if it's busy. The matcha was actually really good, definitely one of the better cups I've had from coffee shops I've tried around the area. Overall, it's a nice spot where you can get work done and the atmosphere is cute. For some reason though, it hasn't really become one of my go-to places. Still solid and worth checking out if you're nearby. If you need good wifi then maybe go somewhere else. It was too slow for me.

In the winter, every time someone opens the door it is uncomfortable for the people seated because the seating is directly in the path of the draft. Bathroom lever door handles are also not installed properly and need to be fixed. Locksmith can assuredly fix this issue. Use the professional directory findalocksmith.com and not Google search results.

Finally went to detour coffee and the pistacchio latte is so good. They use pistacchio milk which…read moreis different from other ones I've had in the area as I believe the other use whole milk. I also got the falafel smashburger. I felt there was a lot of bun compared to the filling. The food menu was extensive and seem to switch up often so I'll try something else the next time I go but think I'll stick with the pistacchio latte. Space overall was very nice but fills up fast. Would be a nice place to catch up with friends. Street parking is probably the better option rather than trying to find parking in front of the shop as it is very limited

I went to Detour Coffee Co. and thought it was a good coffee shop overall…read more The coffee and matcha were both okay, nothing amazing, but definitely solid. It's the kind of place where you can reliably grab a drink and hang out for a bit. There weren't a ton of super comfortable seats, which is something to keep in mind if you're planning to stay a long time. That said, you could still go there to get some work done or catch up with friends. It has a nice, easygoing vibe that works well for both. Overall, it's a solid spot, probably one of the better coffee shops in Arlington, just not somewhere I'd call exceptional.

All I'm going to say is this place is the pure TRUTH! I ordered here using Uber Eats because I…read morewanted a Crookie. I fell in love with them while visiting BMore's Cafe Dear Leon and wanted to find a local place offering them...and Yelp led me to Roggenart Bakery. In addition to ordering a Crookie, I ordered a small beet salad, cheese Danish and a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I am completely hooked. Everything was so fresh and tasty and I now have a new "go to" spot for my breakfast fix. I have raved so much about Roggenart that my friends and colleagues are now ordering. The customer service is excellent. Even though I have used UE for most of my orders, my packaging is always done well. Nothing is squished or dripping. Can you imagine having beet juice everywhere?!? Also, my co-worker has visited to pick up our order and she said it's very clean and smells amazing. Don't hesitate to order. You won't regret it. Happy eating!!!!

I had no clue they were closing, but Camila hooked me up out of the goodness of her heart. What…read moregreat service! She was kind, welcoming, informative, patient, helpful in every way in a time where she easily could've turned me away. It was any forced, over the top customer service, rather a nice person doing a nice thing and that is truly rare to find these days. Needless to say, she immediately made my day and has given me some Easter spirit lol Of course, the spinach and tomato quiche and pistachio latte were some serious icing on the cake. Thanks again, I'll be back someday to enjoy the peaceful ambiance inside, until then the outside courtyard couldn't be much better By the way, they have a pretty cool deal 50% off baked goods box when they have excess, what a gem!

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

I think they need to work on either adding more sweetener or increasing the sweetness of their beverages.

It's a small cafe nestled with a lot of variety to choose from.

Super cute coffee shop but WOW does it get busy here!…read more They do themed drinks for cherry blossom season which certainly contributes to how busy it was, but the drink quality and food is genuinely quite good. The line went out the door and it took a while to find a free table. Service is very friendly despite how busy they were. It took a long time to get our drinks and food (at least 10+ minutes) but that came at no surprise: we were there during rush hour right as the Cherry Blossom 5K ended with a bunch of hungry runners arriving at the same time, us included. The Strawberries & Cream Matcha Latte was a popular pick. I enjoyed mine but it didn't stand out too much from other strawberry matcha lattes I've had in my life. My friend ordered the Earl Grey Matcha Latte and topped it with lavender foam and this was definitely the way to go. Also tried the sundried tomato and feta sandwich which was a perfect light snack. The hash brown and egg burrito was also delicious but really dense. Ambiance is a 10/10- they hung faux cherry blossoms from the ceiling and also have a positive affirmation wall in the back for people to contribute to. I would definitely be a regular here if I was a local. - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 4/5

The browned butter chocolate chip cookie was very flat and left much to be desired. The cheddar biscuit was dry AF and lacked flavor. I do recommend buying a shirt if you are a regular.

I stick to a regular latte and their egg and cheese biscuit (The Kennedy, I believe). The biscuit is simple but pretty good if you need something quick and filling for breakfast. The latte is usually a good mix of espresso and milk, so no complaints there. Once I tried their horchata latte and was not too impressed, which is why I get the regular latte now. Sometimes when I'm lucky, they still have the blueberry donut and that is a must for me. So delicious! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. And the space is so colorful, which is always a plus for me. It puts a smile on my face. Worth giving them a try!
