In a time when some folks are busy declaring "Nuclear Family Month" and trying to decide whose rights count, Colada Shop is over here doing what really matters: serving delicious Cuban food, amazing cocktails, and creating a welcoming space for everyone. The croquetas were incredible, the drinks were refreshing, and the vibe was immaculate. The Pride decorations made me smile because despite all the noise, people are still showing up for community, inclusion, and joy. Turns out diversity isn't scary--unless you're a croqueta at my table. Those things disappeared fast. In a city that can feel especially heavy these days, this place felt like a breath of fresh air. Sometimes resistance looks like marching. Sometimes it looks like supporting businesses that make everyone feel welcome. Happy Pride Month to everyone celebrating. The haters may be loud, but the mojitos are louder.

This location has the same quality of food as their Wharf location. I was so happy to be able to get a couple of empanadas, a Cuban sandwich, sweet plantains and a couple of drinks before jetting off. The staff is super friendly but getting our drinks was a little slow. Having said that, it was during busy times so we totally get it. Didn't take pictures of the empanadas before they got in my belly. We got a chicken & beef-so good just a little on the small side so if you're sharing, keep that in mind. Cheers!!

I didn't feel like the flavors where there for when I order indian food. Maybe they make the dishes very lightly with flavor since they are serving to the masses and to get buy-off from everyone. But for me it was disappointing because it more on the bland size. There was enough food, I wasn't able to finish it. I think the spinach was the best part for me. Was very convenient off crystal drive, easy to walk into with no line and quick service to make it and check out.

Great Pizza! Extreme…read morePizza has some great pizza in the Crystal City area! The prices aren't bad and the service was relatively fast. I tried the Everest pizza & wings.....The pizza was nothing but delicious and loaded with toppings. The crust was a winner too. It was a great tasting crust ( not too thick...not too thin.... just perfect!). Between the topping and tomato sauce.....I am sold and will keep this place on repeat. The tomato sauce was so good that i asked for extra with my garlic twisted sticks....i literally had to ask for more! The wings were a standout as well. If you are looking for good pizza, I recommend coming here!

Extreme pizza was one of the only restaurants open during the sleet in 2026 so I dropped by since I…read morewas from out of town and didn't have any food saved up. The workers were super nice and patient even though they had to come into work with the nasty weather. I order the chicken parm with the poppers. The chicken parm sub was delicious however the size was a lot smaller than what I expect from a normal sub. The poppers on the other hand I felt like the filling was lacking if you ate it by itself. It absolutely needed the chocolate dipping sauce that they provided to give the extra flavor profile for the dessert. Part of me wished there was just more Nutella flavoring or somehow a flavor in the middle that would be more flavor so there would be no need to dip. However, I cant deduct any points since I'm not a fan of chocolate and I believe anyone who is a fan of chocolate would be satisfied with it. The inside of the restaurant is kind of cramped but I came in when there wasn't too many people so it was spacious when it's empty. However it was cute and had seating facing the window so you can people watch outside. All in all I did give it a higher rating mainly because they were willing to stay open during the icy snow weather and provide food to all the travelers who were stranded. Thank you so much!

For under $70 two people can have crab cakes benedict, fried brussels, crispy French toast... I don't even remember. Like ten different things! I didn't have to eat again until 9pm. The food was great! Vinny, who was our handler (clearly he has training in special education or something because we that table. Or maybe the TIPS trainings have advanced to include messy brunch people) was fun, patient, and knowledgeable. This is THE SPOT for brunch on Sunday.

Healthy doesn't have to mean boring and these bowls and salads are amazing bursts of flavor.

All of the selections look flavorful and filling. Prices are reasonable and you can choose to dine in or carry out.

Always appreciate the minimalist yet still eloquently-decorated aesthetic of the restaurants, complete with a window to view the kitchen, which itself seemed relatively clean and well-kempt. Ordered the Woodear Mushroom and Mint Salad, and the Mogu Shiitake Mixian Ramen. The mushrooms were light and chewy, yet savory with citric and garlicky elements, and overall very refreshing. The ramen was solid in most respects, with a decent variety of vegetables and multiple proteins, including tofu, shiitakes, soybeans and marinated egg (which I enjoyed despite typically not liking hard-boiled egg too much). The noodles were a little bland, however, and didn't taste like they absorbed much of the broth. Overall, I'd say 4.5 stars are more accurate; YbP Noodle House is a regular haunt for me because the quality is there in most respects.

This location is for online, mobile app, and take out orders only. There is no seating our dining area like most Panera breads. So when coming here, keep in mind that it is mainly a grab and go spot. I was in the area for a business meeting and needed something quick. This Panera Bread location delivered! The young lady that assisted me at the counter was very polite and helpful. I ordered the pick 2 meal.... Which is always my go to. On this day, I tried the new. Pecan Apple Crisp Salad and a bowl of the House Chilli. Everything was fresh, made to order and delicious. The veggies on the salad were so fresh and crisp, and the apple cider vinaigrette really complimented the salad along with the crunch of the pecans as a topping. The salad was soooo good and will definitely be on repeat! The chili was very flavorful and full of you're a typical ingredients..... 3 beans, tomato, ground beef and spices. A double thumbs up on the taste and consistency. Most of all, it was meaty and not watered down. Not to mention, this place moves fast. The order came very quick..... and securely packed for me to grab and go. I highly recommend this place, when in the area and you need something quick. The food is healthy, delicious, and the menu changes frequently with the seasons. Not to mention, the baked goods selection are great and always an added, plus!
