Everyone is friendly, accommodating, and makes each visit enjoyable. I highly recommend the matcha peach and strawberry drinks, and I always look forward to trying the monthly specials for a unique and flavorful coffee experience. My personal favorites are the Nutella and Rocky Road. One of the things I love most is the open, sunlit space. The natural light creates a bright yet calming environment that helps me relax and hyperfocus on my work. It's become one of my favorite places to enjoy great coffee while being productive. I love the Bristow and Dumfries too but this one is my fave so far.

We don't live super close, but we stopped for what we intended to be a quick breakfast before going…read moreto IKEA. It didn't turn out that way, and we quite likely won't be returning. I ordered the fetira, which is scrambled eggs in a thin flatbread drizzled with honey. I have to imagine making this is what took so long, but 40min to wait seems unreasonable. Neither the signage nor the woman behind the counter indicated that fetira would require extra time to prepare. The family behind us got their whole meals before we even got our coffees, and multiple others came in after us, ordered, got their food, and left before we got ours. After about 30min, we asked if our food could be prepared to go instead of dining in because it was taking too long. I googled fetira recipes after we left, and they all said it takes 25min to prep and cook from scratch, so I can't imagine what took 40min. The food was pretty good, but it definitely wasn't worth a 40min wait.

My first time ordering from here was very underwhelming (breakfast sandwich + caramel macchiato,…read morecoffee was made wrong and the sandwich was uneventful). Recently came again and the flavor on the strawberry matcha was really good; it's made with strawberry syrup, would've been better with real strawberries, but still good. Everyone else in my group really loved their coffee as well.

This has been our go-to for a little energy boost as we are passing on the I-95. It is located…read moreacross from the Waffle House on Warrenton Rd and next to the Sleep Inn Hotel on Iras Ln. It's a nice little stand alone coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive-thru. Immediately upon pulling into their well maintained parking lot, the exterior drew us in with a modern aesthetic and clean textured appearance. The inside continues the same appeal with their various seating arrangements and displays. We love, support, and appreciate their mission (evidenced by their merch & decor), which is to serve coffee and culture to those who love America. The service has always been phenomenal--friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We've come at less busy times so we haven't had to wait in line or wait long for our order to be fulfilled. They offer 5 signature beverages, aptly called "Hero Beverages, which consist: Liberty Bell (caramel & vanilla), Betsy Ross (wild blackberry & white mocha), Jet Fuel (spiced brown sugar & energy boost), 1776 (sea salt toffee caramel & mocha), and Smokey Joe (hickory smoke). These are available iced or hot. My go-to is the Liberty Bell. They also offer some tasty treats, sweet and savory. We've enjoyed their blueberry muffin and their sausage & egg on a waffle. I find that some of their food items have usually run out or have changed since our last visit. Granted, we usually get here mid-morning or later in the afternoon. There are 2 individual restrooms available, which are usually clean and well maintained. Overall, we enjoy stopping by this place for our little pick-me-up as we're passing through on our long trips. We also appreciate that we can support a business that are committed to upholding our military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders.

There's a lot of space inside along with a small "storefront" where you can buy merch and bags of coffee. I tried their spicy breakfast biscuit and really enjoyed it - perfect balance of flavor. My choice of coffee for the day was their shaken espresso - this is my go to at home and at Starbucks. Good news, Black Rifle made it better than the both of us! I really enjoyed the smooth flavor, I just might order it half sweet the next time.

I went…read moreto the place 20 minutes before closing and as soon as I opened the door there was a very strong stench of bleach, probably they cleaned the floors for closing. It was very very overwhelming. Anyways service was excellent, and the sweet lady who made my Mangonada was very kind. As for the Mangonada itself, I did not like it. There was a-lot of chamoy that literally overpowered everything. Some pieces of mango with Tajin on top were edible but unfortunately I had to throw my treat away and that made me very sad. I hope management can look into two thing, first to make Mangonada edible with proper ratio of ingredients; and wait until store closes atleast to clean the floors with bleach that aggressively. I might try other treats next time but Im not sure.

Representing 2023 & 2024 in alphabet series, K is for Komma Tea. I didn't have a K place for 2024…read morethat I hadn't reviewed, but I visited the Komma Tea at Potomac Mills twice. Both times I had 5-star Komma Tea & 5-star Pokerea (see my Pokerea Yelp review from June 12, 2025) in the food court for dinner. Komma Tea is not in the food court, a bit of a walk in this big mall, but worth it! There are a couple of locations, but I went to the one with a bit of an inside area with kiosks for ordering. October 2023: The first time I tried Komma Tea was on Wednesday, October 25, 2023. I had work travel to Caroline County, VA. On the way back I got a movie on my AMC A-List at AMC Potomac Mills, then walked around the mall & debated what I was going to eat for dinner, there was still traffic getting back to MD and would've been 9 before getting home, and looked at the food court and decided to try the Poke place, Pokerea, but went to Komma Tea beforehand. They were efficient as I watched them make the drink. This is the best bubble tea I've had in the DC area, which is funny because Pokerea in the food court was the best Poke I've had in the DC area! In summary, Potomac Mills is great! September 2024: Coincidentally, the other time I visited was a Wednesday too. My girlfriend & I were traveling back from Myrtle Beach, SC on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. We got to the mall in time to eat dinner before the movie we wanted to see with a little bit of time to spare to walk around the mall in addition to simply eating. I told her how great Komma Tea & Pokerea was. Everything was just as great as I remembered, and she thought both were great too. If I'm back down that direction, I'd definitely be back at Komma Tea.

I did 75% sweetness and that was just right for me. I feel like anything more would've been way too sweet. The ordering process is self-serve through a kiosk. You pick your drink, add boba, adjust the sweetness -- the usual. At checkout, it even prompts you to leave a tip, which I thought was a little odd considering there's no real interaction happening at that point. Speaking of interaction... the customer service was seriously lacking by 1000. There was a young lady working when I came in. She clearly saw me standing there at the kiosk, but didn't say a word. I had to speak to her twice before she finally responded, and when she did, she looked at me like I was the problem. Definitely not the warmest experience. The drink came out fast, but a heads up -- it's easy to accidentally skip the boba option on the screen. It's not super obvious, so pay attention if that's a must-have for you. Overall, the drink was good, but don't expect much in the way of customer service.
