    The fun team!!!

    The location and a quick place to get coffee and either breakfast or lunch. The employee s (Jan, Milkana, and Nargess) are the best! And the food is good, too.

    Tiny cafe at the corner of the INOVA building. It's a narrow corridor with few seats indoors and a couple outdoor tables. I stumbled upon this as we tried to find new brunch places in our area - it's less than a 5 min drive from home and we can bring our fur babies. It's actually a bit too cold now to be outside but I did notice they have ceiling furnaces so hopefully they'll turn those on soon. The food is fresh and tastes homemade. Some of their things seem to sell out which is understandable at its small size. Their coffee is delicious and the staff have been pleasant to deal with. Their bakery items are so good! I ask them to heat it up and they happily obliged. I always get their low carb feta Turkey avocado wrap and it's never failed to fill me up. The simple cheese panini also seems to be my mom's go to now- she loves how "clean" everything tastes. I have to agree! I'll be back to try their other items.

    Decided to final stop by after my appointment

    The Cinnabon was so damn good, I plan on trying the one with pecans next. And the breakfast burrito was hot and filling. I left my appointment and was starving and wanted a quick bite before a ventured on with my journey. This spot did the job. However, I would have like a warm greeting and acknowledgement when I walked in as it was not busy. The place is super cute and I wish the mood of the employees lived up to the hype if the ambiance.

    "Not your average Lemon Bar." Very lemony.  Warning: it will scorch the lining in your mouth.

    They serve Illy coffee. Very mild roast. If you prefer dark roast this is not your option. Large cup $4. Good selection of baked goods including breakfast burritos. Free parking in the lot.

    Black Forest cake- amazing.

    The best pastries in McLean. Just love Sweetbites. Their cakes are so delicious. They bake all of our family birthday cakes!!

    Can't count on fingers and toes how many mouthwatering pastries I've had (veggie quiches, pumpkin whoopie pies, fruit tart, foccacia bread, chocolate chip scones, chocolate chip cookies, brookie, keylime pie, toffee pudding, strawberry cream cake, S'mores brownie, peanut butter brownie, gluten-free brownie, and a dozen different types of cupcakes...nom nom nom!)! The unique selection of sweet and savory treats is impressive and always keeps me guessing! There's always so much to choose to from and the daily selection is always different. My favorite sweet treats: tangy Key Lime Pie, Pina Colada Cupcakes, scrumptious Chocolate Chip Cookie, slice of heaven strawberry cream cake, moist lemon poppy seed bread, decadent S'mores brownie and Peanut butter brownie, and best of all Brookie (brownie + cookie). The pastries are fresh, moist, and truly a sweet bite! The only things that I wouldn't recommend is the dry and stale quiches, focaccia bread, and vanilla, chocolate, and cookie dough cupcakes. As cupcakes were the bread and butter of the Sweetbites food truck, they are a side piece at the bakery and nice to see the shop expand with a variety of sweet and savory pastries, breakfast burritos, and sandwiches. The cafe is now open on Saturdays too (8am - 3pm), excited to bring my hubby! Sandra, the owner, is passionate and just as sweet as her decadent baked goods. So glad she opened up this cute cafe in McLean right near me! Tucked inside Inova medical building, Sweetbites is truly a hidden gem with lots of sweet bites to offer!

    This a small cafe with a lot of baked goods! The selection is wide consisting from strawberry tarts to quiches to croissants and cookies. The chocolate chip scone is pretty good, tasting like a chocolate chip cookie with the texture of a biscuit.. the strawberry scone is my favorite but it's maybe a once a week occurrence on the menu! A slight strawberry flavor with a crumbly texture ~so gooood. I wish they had fruit flavored scones more often tho :/ I came here for lunch with a friend and we both got pesto paninis which were crispy but a little too salty for me. The workers were really friendly here and the cafe smells so goood because of all the baking happening.

    SWEETBITES a great place to pick up lunch or an afternoon coffee, and even open on holidays!!!!! Thank you to the friendly staff.

    Even during COVID this place is great! And the bakery smell fills the whole first floor of the building, wonderful.

    Adorable place. Excellent food. Great service! Everything is homemade and delicious! Will definitely be back!! Thanks for the amazing food!

We were told that this bakery basically does the baking for a chain family group. So, knowing that we wanted to check this place out. They have different types of baked goods and loaves that you can purchase along with sandwiches and your usually coffees. This is connected to a restaurant right next door, and so it's a quick in and out if you're in a rush. Or if you want to sit around and have your baked good and then leave, there's seating as well.

The Avocado Toast with egg was good, but nothing particularly special. I enjoyed the English Sourdough bread and bought a loaf of it. We devoured the hand-cut fries. The 4 bite-size Ozzie Rolls were fun to try. The Chocolate Espresso Chew Cookie was moist and fudgey, sweet ending to our meal! Plain Croissant was standard. The Pink Drink with housemade syrup, coconut milk and strawberries was refreshing and tasty. It was my pick from the Strawberry Lemonade and Dragon fruit Lemonade. The Lemonades were a bit too sweet. I ordered the food to dine in and it was packaged to go. I wish the food could be prepared for dining in. It's a pet peeve of mine to see all of the grease oozing out of fries in a brown bag. There were also Styrofoam plates and plastic straws, wish there were more environmental-friendly products. Might be back for brunch if there's a dine-in option.

    Fluffy Thoughts Cakes absolutely exceeded every expectation for my husband's 60th birthday cake!…read more I gave them the challenge of telling the story of his life through a cake, and somehow they turned decades of memories, milestones, businesses, family, and funny moments into an incredible edible masterpiece. Every detail was thoughtfully created, from his childhood adventures to his entrepreneurial journey, and our guests could not believe it was actually a cake. People spent the entire evening gathered around it, pointing out details and laughing at all the personal touches. It was creative, hilarious, elaborate, and unlike anything we've ever seen. It truly became the centerpiece of the celebration. And as amazing as it looked, it tasted just as incredible. That's a rare combination! Thank you, Fluffy Thoughts Cakes, for going above and beyond to make my husband's 60th birthday so memorable. Your talent, creativity, and attention to detail are extraordinary. This wasn't just a cake--it was a work of art and one of the highlights of the entire party. Highly recommend!
