    Turkey Chipotle Meatloaf
    Neal E.

    Visited The Oaks again after another late afternoon visit to my Orthopaedic Surgeon. Was about 5:00 pm when I got out, so I went next door to Fair Oaks Hospital to eat at The Oaks. Had a nice salad from the salad bar, a cup of Chicken Florentine soup, and slice of Turkey Chipotle meatloaf. Food was pretty good for cafeteria/cafe style food. The meatloaf needed to be hotter. The soup was outstanding - very chunky - lots of large, tender chunks of chicken and succulent vegetables. The broth was delicious! I could have drank a gallon of that broth! The salad bar, as before, keeps the veggies ridiculously cold! I briefly toyed with the idea of getting dessert, but I was stuffed. So I passed...

    For a community hospital, this is a good cafeteria. They have all the necessities, such as: - salad bar with few premade salads - soup station with special soup of the day - grill station with grilled cheese, fries, and burgers - deli with pizzas, flatbreads, and premade wraps - entrée station that changes daily and it's the best way to get a balanced meal of carb, protein, and vegetable - breakfast menu What makes this cafeteria hospital quality is safety and health promotion. They check the temperature of their foods frequently throughout the day and infection control appears to be of utmost importance. They also list calories and nutritional facts on their soups, flatbreads, entrees, and throughout the cafeteria to help patients and visitors become more conscious of what they're eating. In fact, they promote healthy themes, which includes apple day, citrus day, and the "wedge" day, to make nutrition more fun. I love the exhibition station where diverse and exciting dishes pop up and change everyday! This hospital's version for "foodies" are made as ordered and they include classic Reuben, taco bar, pasta bar, hot wings, and my beloved, pho station! Now the pho here isn't the same as what I'll get at a good pho place. But what I like about each bowl is the plethora of vegetables, which is more fiber than I can ever get at any pho place. The flavorful broth is vegetable based and the vermicelli noodles are always comforting. You can also pick your protein, which includes shrimp, chicken, beef, or tofu. Top it off with some sriracha and I'm good to go! It's my healthy version of pho and it does satisfy my cravings. I just wish they exhibit this special more often.

    Being a former employee here, I was eating at Oaks Cafe all the time. The first time I ate there my expectations were lower then what they are now. The food there is pretty decent considering that it's hospital food. Most of the time there were meals that were spot on and some of the time not so much, it kinda felt like there were numerous chefs in the back and one wasn't very successful. The grill food is decent as well, they cook the food right in front of you and ask you how you want it and what you want in it. I give it a 3 out of 5 for overall operations when you put into consideration the times they open and the variety of good they carry for a hospital.

    Yeah! Same food made by the same folks! BEST breakfast and I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL!

    Stopped in for breakfast on our way to a hike and loved this place. Super cute atmosphere with lots…read moreof seating, and everyone working there was really nice. 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. Overall we really loved it and would definitely come back when we're in the area again!

    This place is a lovely spot! My friend and I first stumbled upon it while trying to find a cafe to…read moresit and catch up, and I loved it so much I dragged my husband back at a later date. 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!

I was very impressed with their extensive menu and offerings. I had the Italian cold cut sandwich, blackberry lemonade, and salted caramel brownie. The sandwich was a 10. There's an art to how to make a sandwich, how it's layered and put together, the staff here know what they are doing. It was the perfect size, and tasted amazing. The blackberry lemonade was perfect. Not many places offer a blackberry option, so that get extra points. The salted Carmel brownie was inhaled...so yea it was awesome as well . The staff was friendly and helpful, and gave me enough time to select my lunch. Thanks for the excellent experience today.

The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. 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. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. 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. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!
