    Interior
    Julie S.

    Cute little coffee shop with a cozy, small-café vibe. I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk--it was good, though a little on the sweet side for my taste. It came with a pizelle on the side, which was a nice touch and a pleasant surprise. I also had a chocolate croissant, and they heated it up for me, which made it extra tasty. The staff wasn't the friendliest, but service was prompt and efficient. Overall, a solid spot for a quick coffee and pastry.

    Inside

    Stopped by simply social Coffee which is located a few doors down from Great Wall. It is a small cafe with limited seating. There was a case of pastries. I'm unsure if they are baked there. The inside of the cafe is decorated for the holidays. I saw some people working/studying there. They had a seasonal drink menu at the counter and I ordered a seasonal iced latte. It came with a small piece of pizelle which was a nice touch.

    Crème Brulé iced decaf latte
    Katie S.

    I'm in Fairfax for a doctors visit so I wanted to try a new coffee joint. The staff were super friendly and helped me with a good recommendation. I got a Crème Brulé iced decaf latte with whole milk and it came with a cookie on the side! It was delicious! I would come here again if I was local to the area. I came here on a Thursday morning and it was almost packed inside. I can't imagine how busy it gets over the weekends! The place is cute but tiny. Thankfully they have outdoor seating and I believe it is dog friendly (outside).

    flat white
    Brina T.

    Yummy coffee made right! I tried the flat white and nitro cold brew--both smooth, strong, and exactly how they should be. Also grabbed their pesto chicken sandwich and it was super flavorful, not just filler food. Everything was super yummy. The inside is a bit small, so seating can be limited, but it's still a great spot for quality coffee and a bite.

    Latte

    My husband and I were in search of a good coffee spot while in the area. Simply Social popped up as a recommendation. I'm so glad we gave it a try. It's a cute little coffee shop located in a strip mall. We aren't from the area so the parking lot was a little chaotic. We both had hot lattes and were very satisfied. I wish I would have tried the egg and cheese sandwich. On the way out, I noticed another customer eating one and it looked so good!

    Dirty Matcha Latte w/ vanilla
    Timothy B.

    Limited seating but everything else is great. I tried their Dirty Matcha Latte, which has a couple espresso shots - my new favorite. I found them after visiting their Reston location, so glad I did. They've got a good selection of breakfast sandwiches, some unique syrups for lattes, and plenty of pastries. I'll definitely be back.

    Iced Dirty Matcha
    Shubha A.

    hands down the BEST dirty matcha ever!! whenever i come back to virginia to visit, i always have to stop by here to get an iced almond dirty matcha, if you like espresso and matcha you gotta try it! they also have a decent amount of seating inside and the service is very quick and the baristas are always very nice.

    Matcha latte and chai Latte
    E E.

    A friend recommended this coffee spot, so we decided to stop by after a disappointing experience at another tea place nearby. I usually order matcha and always ask for less sweetness, but I was surprised that here the drinks are pre-made, so they couldn't adjust it. Unfortunately, the matcha turned out much too sweet for me and also quite watery. My friend had a chai latte and felt the same watery and not as flavorful compared to other places she's tried. That said, I don't want to judge the whole shop based only on these drinks. It seems like they focus more on breakfast items and coffee, so I'd be open to coming back to try those instead. The shop itself is very small inside, but they do have a cute fenced patio for seating. One thing I really loved is how dog-friendly. Lots of cute doggies pictures Overall, not impressed with the matcha or chai, but I'd come back to try the breakfast and coffee since that seems to be what they're known for.

    The misleading dog board
    Marcella N.

    had a very disappointing experience at Simply Social Coffee today. I came in with my service dog, and the first thing the cashier told me was that dogs weren't allowed inside and that I needed to go outside and order online. This was not only disrespectful but also potentially illegal in Virginia, as service dogs are legally allowed in public establishments. I had to step outside, hand my dog to my husband, and then return to place my order. When ordering my latte, I asked for light ice, and instead of just noting my request, the cashier took five extra minutes to explain that my cup wouldn't be filled to the top. While I understand portioning, the way she said it came off as unnecessarily rude and condescending. As I waited for my order, I noticed a board covered in Polaroid pictures of dogs, making the place seem dog-friendly--which made the refusal to allow my working dog inside even more contradictory and misleading. If this café truly cares about dogs, they should at least allow service animals inside for a brief moment while someone orders, or at the very least, offer to take an order and bring the drink outside. To top it off, my latte with "light ice" was indeed not filled to the top, which was just the final frustration in an already bad experience. The lack of respect, poor customer service, and confusing policies make it unlikely that I'll return.

    The Nitro Cold Brew at "Milk Chocolate" Level of cream. Perfectly made, a great treat. + The delicious pastry section.

    This coffee shop is a step above. Their menu has an outstanding variety, yet each item seems to be mastered by their team. No item received ever feels rushed or lackluster. I love the care they put into their food and service. What is also surprising is how cheap their food is for the quality. I always feel like im getting way more than I pay for with their meals. It's a small thing, but they keep their tip menu small as well which makes me happy to see. I dislike how other stores force a 22% tip menu in your face, even if it's by accident. The whole experience at Simply Social is homey and welcoming.

    I usually get their cappuccino or iced vanilla latte. Both are consistently good, and the default isn't too sweet. The little pizzelle cookie that comes with each drink is a cute touch.

    Mike R.

    Nice spot here. Definitely really nice employees and vibe. It is a chain, but doesn't feel that way. This is a smaller more intimate location. They have a variety of coffees, teas, and foods. All are quite good. I like this better, than corporate giants Peet's and Starbucks. You'll get a better value here. Also I think it's more laid back. All of us need "chill time" here and there. This is a wonderful spot for that. Definitely stop here. There's plenty of parking. Good employees and a comfortable spot.

    Cute signs--great Wi-Fi password.
    Jessica P.

    This was an outstanding experience, from the clean space to the delicious coffee. My latte was so yummy, in fact, that I had them grind some beans to take home. Of course I don't have their fancy machine but I could t help myself. Nice presentation with the included pizzelle, too. Wish I lived here so I could return!

    It's very pleasant except that they will not give you tap water to drink. Charging $1 a cup is absurd.

    Espresso is acidic. Not a fan of the beans. Chocolate zucchini bread didn't taste good either. Piece of cookie they give you tastes stale.

    What are the vegan options?

    Hi! Are there sugar free options for the frappes? Or are they powder based?

    They are powered based. Unfortunately we don't have sugar free options. However we do have sugar free syrup we can blend with milk and ice to create something similar to frappe, but not exactly. We have sf caramel and vanilla. Thanks

The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit.

It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community.

The roll was reminiscent of a Philly sub roll, which - now this may be polarizing - is the standard by which I judge all sub rolls. Philadelphia just has the best subs ;) Anyway - they use good deli meats here. I don't think they make their own fries, but they were nice and crispy with a bit of seasoning on them and went well with our sandwiches. My husband had the cheesesteak and said it was just meh - definitely steak-ums - but we are from the self-proclaimed cheesesteak capital of the world :) Don't pass up the dessert case though - I am not a sweets person, but they had this triple cheese thing that was like a cheese danish, but with a million times more cheese and just a little bit of pastry, we... uhhh... devoured it... It paired really nice with their house chocolate gelato, which was the definition of rich, decadent chocolate. The lady at the register was kind enough to allow us to try a side-by-side of the house and the machine gelato... word of advice... skip the machine, go with the house gelato - the flavor (and the serving size) knocks that name-brand, machine mumbo jumbo out of the park :) Honestly, just a great sandwich joint with a little store selling specialty items, many of which are from Italy (I will be back for some squid ink pasta the next time I am cooking for friends!). Lovely little gem :)

I ordered a sandwich and wanted to make it a combo but they only do it with fries, no chips. For most, thats an awesome deal - I just personally wanted chips. They have the fancier drinks and not your typical soda options so keep this in mind. My roasted turkey sandwich was $14.95 to start, and toppings like pepper relish cost extra (I feel like a spread should not be half a dollar but sure). Meat quality was good and bread felt fresh but just a little hard to chew. For basically 16$, there was only two thin slices of provolone. Compared to some of the photos I saw, the sandwich was a bit lacking on the toppings of meat/cheese. People super friendly and service was quick. They had tons of desserts, pasta salad, and a few actual pasta dishes on the menu too. I'll have to come in to give them a try for a cheesesteak or the caesar salad wrap next.
