Three Whistles was a wonderful surprise for a couple of reasons; their talented barista and their large open seating area. I watched the barista cup my cortado but I had no idea what was happening until he handed me my cup. The gentleman created this cute little bunny by hand. As a coffee lover, this moment may have been the highlight of my whole day! Then I watched the barista cup my friend's cortado. I expected to see another bunny, but instead he created different complicated milk art. We ended up with a ram and a bunny. So awesome! Not only was the cortado beautiful and tasted delicious; the seating area was spacious and inviting. There were tables, bar stools, and comfy arm chairs to enjoy your coffee. The decor was modern and full of various textures. The color scheme was calming. It would be a great space to sit and relax, chat with friends or work. Three Whistles definitely is on my favorite lists for coffee shops in the DMV. read more

The Place is super cute inside and has business rooms and large area for social distancing or working remotely. We tried the gelato, a scone and the claredon fog. We sat outside as we had a pup with us. The scone was undercooked and would have been better warm. The gealto was good. The tea was hints of rose or light fruit. Def not what I was thinking as normal fogs are darker twas like earl grey or black tea. It just wasn't for me. The place is super cute and has a lot of foot traffic. They have a case of empanada and small eats and have a full on coffee shop vibe. read more

This place has changed name multiple times but I think whoever is the new owner, knows how to decorate this place. The atmosphere of this coffeeshop is very nice and the lighting is very on point I must say. There is a balanced combo of wood work, art pieces and plants in this places which makes it very welcoming. I like how the place is sectioned into different parts and there are different types of seating available, coaches, chairs and high chairs. So far I have only tried their cappuccino but it is decent and I have to try it more to see how consistent it is. The server was very nice and they also provide free water. The music is a very chill music and more toward low beat and ambient. All in all a great place to hang out. I am glad I came here again and will be visiting more often! read more

Right when we came in the barista had an attitude. Do you have a bad day and you really need to be an asshole to us? 1pm Monday Dec 9. read more

Adorable little spot in Clarendon! Great coffee reasonably priced for the size. There is so much seating and very spacious. Not too loud and lots of natural light. Love it! read more

Three Whistles - Latte with seashore design! - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

A great spot to work or read! They have so many seats and tables, and the matcha latte had the cutest bunny design. The place did get really full by 4:30 on a Sunday, to the point where a customer somewhat aggressively asked to take my table when I picked up my bag so. Come on the earlier side on the weekends to prevent yourself from having to become that person. read more

The staff super helpful!! The Coffee goood - I didn't like the flavor of the pumpkin but my husband coffee was amazing. Such a great low key place to get some work done and focus on what you need to do. I love the coworking space set up and think it's so smart I'm wishing them all the best! read more

I went here to kill some time one day last week and I had a good experience. My iced coffee was great and their wife is fast. They had plenty of seating with multiple outlets as well. The service was great and I'd definitely go back. read more

Really cool coworking space with tons of seating. It definitely feels cozy. Not necessarily a place to dit & chat feels like. My favorite thing to get here is the gelato! read more

They have an awesome work from home set up (essentially the entire seating area). I got the hot pumpkin latte and definitely will try their Turkish coffee next read more

Rude and disrespectful cashier (middle eastern guy). To me and other guests he would make remarks such as "I can't read lips" and had a combative way of communicating. This person has no business serving customers, garbage employee. read more

Came to this place on a whim once and i love it. Super cozy, and i love to just come and read. The staff are always friendly and i love the atmosphere here. The coffee is pretty good too, havent tried the food yet but this wont be my last time coming! read more

Good coffees, interesting gelato, and a comfortable atmosphere. They also have live music.

Three Whistles is an incredible space to cowork on the weekend. The combination of earthy decor, great music selection, spacing that allows for work and catching up without disturbing others, and excellent food and drinks makes for the perfect brunch and learn for my friend and I. Having been on both Saturday and Sunday, both days don't typically begin to get packed until 1pm but the feeling of warmth and productivity is able to maintained as most people around as also working, reading, relaxing, and or eating/drinking. The manager is always incredible and remembers my friend and I which is amazing considering the amount of guests they must see weekly and we come pretty sporadic. Compliments to the baristas and chef as well. Everything that I've had has been fantastic! read more

Lovely place for reading a book and listening to chill music, sip some tea on a rainy day

Showed up on a Sunday morning when it should have been open according to hours, and it was a ghost town. Nobody inside, no note on the door.

Wonderful atmosphere! Okay coffee, will try more drinks/ food items next time and add to review... read more

If I were to name this review, I'd call it "a blast from the past." My fellow 90s kids will understand. Three whistles is a great place to go if you miss the nostalgia of the 90s and early 2000s. Why? 1. The "dial-up" internet speeds. I went to Three Whistles to do some light work. I went twice- both times it was moderately busy. The internet was SO SLOW I could not do ANYTHING. I asked the lady at the counter if there was a paid version, as I was even willing to upgrade as I could do nothing on my PC. She said it just "depended on the usage. Ok- that's not her fault, but why is there no options, and why can't this place handle its crowds? They clearly can't keep up with the bandwidth. I had to leave this was after I'd parked, settled in, and grabbed my coffee after setting up my laptop. 2. The lack of electronic ordering and/or waitstaff. I just love getting up from my seat after I settled in, leaving my laptop unattended- especially when there is only two staff, and it takes forever to get my items. There's no QR code and no online ordering. Now, this may sound like I'm just whining, but, they actually do have an active online site- that will charge you, but somehow is not connected to their system. The first time I went here, I "ordered online" on a toast website, paid, went to the counter, and they said, "oh sorry, that wasn't supposed to be available, but what did you get?" Um, excuse me? What if I came from somewhere and I'd ordered and arrived expecting pick up? Don't you think you should shut that down? 3. The "friendly" service. Yes- places aren't like what they used to be with the one on one friendly customer service. And I just love waiting forever while the staff chats with every single person before me for way too long. I don't mind a bit, but this was excessive- as I nervously kept an eye on my stuff from a distance. And it wasn't "talk while I work"- it was "stop and talk while others wait." When I got to the front, I think the person could tell I was annoyed (though I didn't say anything, I'm sure it was my demeanor) because she did not talk to me at all. I'm not hurt by that- I hope I did a service to the poor people behind me by speeding up my turn. I realize my snark is strong here. My experience at this place was annoying and frustrating, and I will not go back. read more

My friend and I went to Three Whistles for some gelato after our dinner. The service was fantastic, as despite them being closed, we, along with several other people, were let in. As for the gelato, it was also fantastic. The gelato was extremely smooth, not overly sweet, and had the right balance of flavor. read more

Very quiet. Like a library. Great place for getting things done. I love the decor. Keep in mind though that most of the space is reserved for people who have some type of subscription to work there. The baristas are great! I loved my matcha latte. The muffins are good too. Moist, as they should be. read more

This is such a cool and chill place! We came here on a Friday night and there was plenty of comfy indoor seating...and I loved the paintings on the walls!! Our gelato (vanilla, pistachio and mango) was excellent...friendly service and good vibes here overall...a nice place to hang out for a coffee and dessert... read more

I absolutely love coming here. The ambiance is cozy and quaint. The food and drinks are excellent. If I needed a place to work remotely, I would definitely come here. I usually meet friends here and they always leave saying they are glad I brought them. I also love supporting a coffee shop that is a small business. read more

Grab a drink and hang out a while. That is what I did and it was a surprisingly cool place. Chill vibe & good coffee. What more do you want? It is described as a co-working space too, but I wasn't working and enjoyed the vibe (isn't every coffee house a co-working space nowadays?). read more

Absolutely a gem with some unexpected delights! I happened upon Three Whistles while getting to know the new area I just moved to. A natural coffee fanatic, I was looking for my new local haunt. Upon walking in, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered my normal iced coffee, but was surprised by all the other options. Gelato, baked goods, and empanadas! I came back at a later date to try the empanadas and really enjoyed it. Crispy on the outside, deliciously filled and tasty on the outside. Even though the food items were fantastic, I have to admit I really admired and loved the open space of the shop. Tons of sitting room and a great escape for my work from home lifestyle I have going on at the moment. Next time you're in the area, give this place a try. You won't regret it. And if you're from the area, make sure to utilize that rewards stamp card! read more

Cute little coffee shop! I went in today to grab two coffees. The iced turtle latte and the iced honey lavender were both very good. The iced turtle latte was good, it's heavier and a similar flavor to a truffle. The iced honey lavender was definitely my favorite because it was very light. Honestly, the reason for the 5 star review is because of the smooth coffee flavor -- I've had a rough time finding non-bitter / burnt coffee and was very excited about this! read more

The guy became really sour and rude after I didn't tip for my second purchase. I had tipped for the first one already. So he even didn't reply to my good bye. The coffee quality is mediocre but the place is really nice and the best part is they're open till 10PM which is rare in this area. read more

I've been coming here for many years and have seen the gradual transformation into one of the best coffee shops in the area. Any chance I get, I take friends, classmates, business partners, pretty much anyone I can to this place. Not only is their coffee and gelato amazing, the ambiance is perfect for a range of things including remote work, reading, or just hangin around. Music isn't too loud during the day, and wifi works just fine. If I still lived in the area, I would probably have a coworking subscription as well. Their staff/service is also great. It's one of the few coffee shops that will take your order and bring it to you while you hang out at your seat. No need to wait around to get called. I've always been a fan. I think you would be, too. read more

My go-to local coffee shop! The staff is so friendly and if you are dining in they will bring your drink directly to you, a small but appreciated detail. I once remarked that I wanted to try a sip of my husbands latte and the barista brought me a small cup of his latte flavor in addition to mine. They have a variety and large amount of seating, so we can always sit in a cozy chair if we're lounging or at a sturdier table for projects and focused work. Perhaps one of the greatest things, their food and pastry selection is exceptional. It's tempting to gatekeep Three Whistles and not share this review but they are just too good not to share! read more

The American Crepe is delicious, I think it will be a regular item in my rotation in the future. Really really good!! read more

Three Whistles - American Crepe - Shared Office Spaces Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We came here for some gelato and really enjoyed it. The only reason I gave a 4/5 review was because I bit into a small piece of plastic in my gelato. Other than that, the interior where you can get your work done, enjoy a small coffee date with yourself or some friends was very beautiful. Whole Foods is across the street and there are plenty of shops surrounding you in the Clarendon area. I would definitely come back to get some work done and try a pastry. The staff was super friendly and funny, I recommend to check it out read more

Gorgeous, huge coffee shop with plenty of seating and great ambiance! It's so cute and all the decor is beautiful. They also have a small parking area in the back which is super convenient, since as many of you know, Arlington parking is quite the challenge. Came here for a study date with my friend and we stayed for a good while, studying and enjoying our food/drink. While there weren't a ton of people there, everyone we saw was sitting far apart, but I'm not sure if they actually enforce social distancing. I also saw a couple of staff members walking around without masks at multiple points, which was... troublesome. I got a pistachio affogato, and it was heavenly! I wasn't really in the mood for the double scoop affogato they have on the menu, and the staff member who helped us was very nice and accommodating and gave me a small size. The pistachio gelato itself was very good, and the espresso was nice and roasty without being overly bitter. The crema held up well while I ate as well. My friend got a hot chocolate, and it was HUGE and very pretty! It came in a for-here mug with whipped cream and drizzles of chocolate and caramel. She said it was very good. As far as food goes, we asked about the menu, and he told us that the usual chef was not there (?) and that there were only a few menu items available. I didn't order anything to eat, but my friend got the grilled cheese. Sadly, when it came out, the cheese wasn't even really melted. She said it was still fine and ate it anyway, but it was for sure a bit disappointing. I'm assuming it was a fluke and that there was some scheduling conflict, so I will refrain from making a verdict on their dining options for now, and I would definitely return for a study sesh again. read more

Website needs to be updated: it indicates that the kitchen is open in the evening, but it isn't actually. I came here to see my friend perform in an open mic and deliberately didn't eat so that I could support a small business. Too bad there's only empanadas and pastries from this morning left. The wine and beer list is also out of date. I want to like this place, but if you want to be an evening spot, please be honest about what you're offering, and keep your website and menus up to date. read more

This is a very relaxing place to have a coffee, a gelato (did not try their gelato yet), and much more. The decor is very nice as well, and the seats are very comfortable. read more

So I was what you might call a "regular" of Boccato, back in the day when I lived in Arlington and before the cafe's makeover into CoworkCafe. Happily, except for the name change, this quirky little cafe is still its wonderful self. Same weird and random furniture, same awesome empanadas from Julia's empanadas, same delicious gelato, same great coffee selection. In fact, the place has upgraded! The staff is nicer; there is more than one bathroom and they are well-lit and not creepy; and for those who use the space for work, there are phone booths to hold private conversations/meetings, access to Internet and printers, lockers, and power outlets everywhere. If you are not using Cowork as your remote workspace (which will cost you a membership of $150 per month), go for a cup of coffee, or a scoop or two of gelato, or an empanada (the Chilean Beef is my favorite) and curl up in one of their sofas with a good book or to people-watch. One of the best afternoons you'll have. read more

A few years ago, this place was known as Boccato, an Italian espresso and gelato shop. It also served Julia's empanadas and some pastries. That was good back then. Five stars for the coffee and gelato shop part. It started transitioning to a cowork cafe, say, maybe five or so years ago and has completely transitioned a couple or so years ago as it no longer holds the name Boccato I wouldn't rate the cowork space high mainly because I have other preferences for a coworker space, which include free and unlimited color printing, multiple locations, and networking events. However, what is unique about CoworkCafe is that it is a local space with food and drink allowance with your membership. If I needed a single space to do work in the area, drink coffee, and eat gelato and other foods, while not needing unlimited color printing, I'd def consider CoworkCafe. However, I'd hate how dark it gets after sunset... it's too dim for my work preference. There is also free parking in the back which is nice if I were to stay a long while. If you're not a member of the CoworkCafe, WiFi usage would be limited to a certain time and/or making purchases so plan ahead before thinking of staying a while. I would come back here again for a quick cup of coffee and gelato break. Oh and by the way, the gelato is from Dolci Gelato :) read more
