    I've never had New Zealand style ice cream or dirty sodas before and now I'm hooked! The strawberries and blueberries were blended with the vanilla soft serve making it a beautifully colored treat. It was not too sweet and didn't melt too quickly, which I appreciated. The toppings are unlimited and free too. A hybrid of nicecream I must say. The dirty soda didn't have enough carbonation in my opinion. Still really liked the flavors. Parking is free but this place gets really busy. Consider ordering online once you park and head inside. The place was like a zoo house with long wait on weekend evenings. Looking forward to returning in the future regardless!

    Softspot was popping around 9 PM with bright colors, lots of games, plenty of seating, and a friendly and quick service staff. The 2 soft serves we had were good. Both were creamy and delicious. If I had to improve anything, I'd make the flavors of the ice cream a tiny bit stronger, and actually dip the soft serve if they are going to call one of their toppings "dipped" on their kiosks.

    This is a great spot! I appreciate the abundance of drink + dessert options. My order was ready quickly. I met up with a friend here, and we stayed for an hour. She got a dirty soda which she really enjoyed, and I got an ube soft serve, which I liked but it was a bit pricey. They also have games to play, and a super cute design. So I recommend this place and would like to come back on a Tuesday for BOGO soft serve to try the New Zealand style one.

    Amazing place! It's a cozy little area with soft chairs, good lighting, and they offer board games too for entertainment. The lines can get a little long depending on when you go, but that's understandable since it's such a great shop. The ice cream is very good, I loved their dirty soda, and I tried one of the cookies, too. Would love to come back again soon.

    If you're in Chantilly and have a sweet tooth, the Softspot is a must stop. We went specifically to try the hot chocolate which was as good as social media suggested. Delicious!!! They have a variety of dirty sodas, cookies, cinnamon rolls and soft serve ice cream. There are a few tables inside and outside in front of the shop. A variety of table games are available to use if you are hanging out for a while.

    We stopped by SoftSpot after seeing a post on social media and decided to give it a try. It was a Sunday night and the place was packed. They have ordering kiosks, but only two of them, so there was a bit of a wait to place our order. We all got the hot chocolate, and while they offer tons of other options--from dirty sodas to hot cookies--the highlight for us was the marshmallow around the cup and on top. That part was delicious! The hot chocolate itself was just okay, but still enjoyable overall. There were only two young ladies working, and they did an amazing job keeping up with all the orders despite the rush. There is some seating, but the people already seated weren't in a hurry to leave, so it was tough to find a spot. Overall, it seems like a cool dessert spot with fun options. If we're in the area again, we'd definitely give it another try.

    The ice cream has a good flavor, good amount of options for toppings without being overwhelming. The cookies are nice, soft, and warm. The shop is smaller but has a nice layout. Employees are nice but the shop could be cleaned more frequently.

    Softspot soft serve ice cream is super creamy soft velvety texture and delicious! My favorite is their ube classic and vanilla classic. Portions are generous and no limit on toppings. Quick service and friendly staffs. You order and pay from the kiosk and your ice cream is ready within 5 minutes or less. May take longer if they are busy. But so far I have received my ice cream orders in less than 5 minutes every time. I recommend Softspot!!

    This place is adorable! Hands down one of the best-decorated spots -- the vibe is so cozy, warm, and inviting, and it literally smells like freshly baked cookies the moment you walk in. I got the Cookie Monster flavor, which is like cookies and cream but totally unique -- it's super smooth with no cookie bits, and I actually love that twist. It is a little pricey (about $5 for a kids size), but honestly, the portion is generous and totally worth it. At night, the place is popping -- super lively and busy, but they somehow keep things moving fast, so you don't wait long at all. Overall, it's one of those places that just makes you feel happy to be there -- cozy vibes, amazing smell, and seriously good ice cream.

    Dope spot! The cookie company MOLTN is also located in this soft spot. The cookies were really good and the whip cream. I didn't try the soft serve yet, but that and their hot chocolate will be next. I'm excited to go back, it's just a very busy place. Tonssss of folks were there. The service was fairly quick though. It's a casual little spot.

    Banana and Cookie Monster ice cream with toppings
    Allison S.

    Came here with my friends to try the popular hot chocolate. It was really delicious but so so sweet that we couldn't finish it even though we wanted to! The marshmallow topping was really tasty. We came back another time to try the ice cream and we loved all the option and flavors they have as well as all the different kinds of toppings. I tried the banana ice cream and loved it! Their cookies are also amazing. The employees are all sweet and provide fast service even when it's busy. The seating area is so cute, I just wish there were more places to sit and I love how they provide card games and board games to play with your family or friends.

    I tried the viral hot chocolate drink they had as I've been seeing it all over social media. It came out really fast!! My only issue with it is that it was a little confusing on how to enjoy it as it was covered in marshmallow fluff. The amount of marshmallow was very sweet. Reheating made the marshmallow kinda gross. It's best to enjoy it all when you can.

I ordered an almond milk latte and the avocado toast without feta. The avocado toast was SO good, the avocado tasted really fresh and they used the perfect amount of balsamic vinegar. Also loved that they had packets of hot sauce available. My son got a bagel with cream cheese and my partner got a bagel with butter and jam plus a chai latte. Only note is that the bagel came with a ton of cream cheese, so if you don't like it piled on, I'd recommend asking for light cream cheese.

The decor makes you think of what you'd find at an eccentric great aunt's home, but in a positive way. Each area has its own mini aesthetic that contributes to the entire place; in the back are color themed books that give it a more serious look, while upstairs is more whimsical in it's random assortment of chairs and couches. The food is in appealing display cases downstairs. The stand out pastries for me are the tiramisu filled cronuts. Drinks wise, they have the typical cafe fare but excitingly so they also have Colombe on draft which I will always be excited about. I recommend this place to grab a snack and socialize!

Overall, it's sweet but an absolute must-get -- somehow the croffle stays super crispy despite being absolutely drenched in Nutella. The tiramisu snow, on the other hand, didn't quite hit the same. It was topped with chocolate ice cream, which I actually think hurt the dish. The snow itself is super soft and fluffy, but paired with the rich chocolate ice cream, it made the snow taste almost icy in comparison. Separately, the snow is great -- together, not my favorite combo. I also tried the Thai tea with bubbles, just to sample their drinks. Unfortunately, the bubbles weren't the texture I like, and the Thai tea had an artificial taste. I ordered it less sweet (I usually prefer my drinks a lot less sweet than standard), but after the sugar overload from the other desserts, it just wasn't enjoyable. I'd definitely come back for the croffle and to try their "ade" drinks, but I'm not sure I'd get the snow again.

We ordered the Greentea Mochi Snowflake and were pretty disappointed. I was hoping that the green tea flavor would be more of a matcha flavor but that wasn't the case. I like the taste of green tea so I wouldn't have minded but the bingsu was so sweet, I could barely taste any green tea flavor. The best part about the bingsu was the corn flakes and mochi bits but I don't even like corn flakes. The portion was pretty generous and could easily be shared with 2-3 people, which would be nice if the bingsu was actually good. We ended up only eating less than half of it. Would I go back? : Definitely not. I've never had a bad bingsu before and unfortunately this will be the first. We ended up going to Chateau de Chantilly Cafe afterwards because of how unsatisfied we were with our experience.

A small word of caution - I was here on a Sunday, mid morning, and there were a LOT of young children scrambling around the restaurant while their parents enjoyed breakfast. They were not misbehaving, they just brought a healthy, high-spirited energy to the place. Not a problem to me in any way, but something to be aware of on certain days of the week if you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy breakfast.
