They updated their software where you can now enter your phone number for rewards. The seasonal drinks are such a fun and yummy addition. While I love my iced caramel macchiato , I do enjoy trying their specials. Keep it up Black Dog, truly the best coffee around.

After months and months of driving by I finally went in to try this cute little place. As you can…read moreimagine, they have tons of hot & cold coffee options. So many, it's almost overwhelming. They roast their beans onsite (you can watch the process through the glass window). The prices are on par if not slightly better than the other large coffee chains. My only "complaint" (which isn't really a complaint) is that as a first timer I wasn't familiar with their various flavors and milk options. It would be nice to have a full menu near the door so people can review the list and be ready to order at the counter. I felt a little like a deer in headlights when I was ordering and didn't know EXACTLY what I wanted. Not a bad problem to have - just a suggestion. Overall, excellent and we will be back and we'll be prepared with our order next time!

I love this cafe! It has been consistently good and one of the best places to be productive. They…read morehave plenty of seating and outlets although it can get pretty busy mid day with people working and students studying. The service is always amazing! They serve great lattes with beautiful latte art. I genuinely think they have one of the best croissants in the northern Va area. They also have great cheese danishes and almond croissants. I would highly recommend!

Located behind the Fair City shopping center is a lovely, quaint coffeeshop known as Foundation…read moreCoffee Roasters. 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 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.

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+

My favorite bean from the holiday season was the Cerro Dragon GEISHA - not only absolutely delicious but a great and wonderfully affordable--accessible--gift. It's always a delight to get to sit down and enjoy the cup and company no matter how crazy their rushes get.

Unfortunately, my experience at this coffee shop was disappointing due to poor customer service…read more When placing my order, I asked a simple question about how their macchiato is prepared. Different coffee shops make macchiatos differently. some use mostly steamed milk while others use mostly foam. Instead of explaining how their version is made, the employee responded with, "What do you mean? It's a macchiato," which came across as dismissive and unhelpful. There was also confusion with my order because I was never asked whether it was for here or to go. Part of the order was prepared in a to-go cup while another part was prepared for dine in. When I politely asked if everything could be put into a to-go cup, the employee replied, "Can't you just chug it?" and appeared visibly annoyed by the request. What concerned me most was how the drink was handled afterward. The employee took the cup, held the lid in the area where customers place their mouths, carried it to the back, and returned with the coffee transferred into the cup. Watching someone repeatedly handle the drinking surface with bare hands was not something I expected from a food service establishment. Mistakes happen, but the combination of dismissive responses, poor communication, an unprofessional attitude, and questionable drink handling practices left a negative impression. I hope management addresses these issues, as customer service and basic hygiene should be priorities at any coffee shop.

They do have a locker outside where you can pick up your order of beans. I'm not sure if all the merchandise is gone, don't believe that the Cafe survived Covid and then decided to close. I really miss being able to get a used coffee sack, even though they butcher it when they open it instead of cutting the strings that hold the top open. Remember that the café is closed. visit the local ice rink and thrift store.

I did add the shelf stable half and half provided after a few sips of the black coffee, out of habit, but I've never had a good experience with the little plastic containers of half and half. I think it made the coffee taste worse than having it black and I usually have a better experience with refrigerated half and half. I'll keep that in mind next time I'm here
