Cafe V

You know those neighborhood cafés that feel like a secret only the locals know? That’s Cafe V — Annandale’s cozy, quirky hideaway where artful drinks, dreamy pastries, and community vibe come together under one high-ceilinged roof. With its mismatched charm, plush toy décor, and vintage 80s energy, Cafe V doesn’t try to be trendy. It’s something better — memorable. Whether you’re popping in for a pistachio latte or pulling out your laptop to work beside wall art and cheese foam cold brew, you’ll find comfort with a creative twist. Cafe V’s offerings aren’t just drinks — they’re little moments of joy. Customers rave about the tiramisu iced latte, pink blossom latte, and cheese foam cold brew, all customizable with syrups and style. Need something more traditional? Try their London Fog or richly brewed house coffee — praised for its bold, full-bodied finish. “The tiramisu latte lived up to the name.” “One of the best pistachio lattes I’ve had in NOVA.” “Their cherry blossom latte? Sweet, layered, and so cute.” And the scones? A whole personality. Flavors like peach, matcha, and pistachio pop off the plate — not too sweet, perfectly crumbly, and baked fresh every day. It’s no exaggeration: these are scones people take home by the box. 🥐 Brunch Goals & Cozy Bites Pair your latte with a V Morning Wrap or Egg & Cheese Croissant for a light, satisfying breakfast. Looking for something gluten-free? The banana bread comes with a heart-shaped squeeze bubble that lets you control the moistness (yes, really — this place is that delightful). “The peach scone was the best I’ve ever had.” “The scones alone are worth the visit. We took some home!” 🎨 Space, Style & Chill Ambiance Inside, Cafe V feels like stepping into an artsy time capsule — retro graphics, plush toys, dark wood, and soft lighting. Locals gather for morning coffee, students type away over tea, and regulars greet staff by name. “It seems like a place where people meet up and hang out.” “Very cute, lots of space, and enough parking.” While you wait for their March 10 reopening, mark your calendars — and come early if you want first pick of the scones. 🍑 After you’ve fueled up on banana bread and espresso, keep the feel-good energy going with a smooth THC wind-down from PullUpDC. Whether you’re chilling with friends or crafting your next big idea, PullUpDC delivers that next-level creative calm—right to your door. Cafe V is more than a coffee shop — it’s a neighborhood vibe. Come for the drinks, stay for the scones, and return for the feeling that you’ve found your favorite little corner of Annandale. Pull up. Sip slow. Feel good.

We had a delightful breakfast at this place this morning! As soon as we walked into the shop, we were pleasantly surprised by its spaciousness and high ceilings. Although the interior décor style is old-school and reminiscent of the 1980s, with many plush toys, big graphics covering the walls, and dark brown painted walls on the other side, the shop was clean and well-maintained. We ordered a V Morning Egg & Cheese Wrap and an Egg & Cheese Breakfast Croissant, which had a pleasant flavor and were the perfect portion sizes. The prices were very reasonable as well. The coffee was excellent, with a rich, full-bodied taste and slight acidity. For dessert, we had gluten-free banana bread and peach scones. The banana bread came with a heart-shaped plastic bubble that could be squeezed to add sweetness and moistness to the bread, making it even more enjoyable. The scone was the best we had ever tasted; it was not too dry, had enough fruity flavors and bits of dried peaches on top, and we could taste a pleasing milk powder flavor on the last bite. The scones were so good that we bought more to take home. This shop bakes fresh and delicious scones every day, and they are well-known for it. The letter "V" in Cafe V represents the shop owner's first initial. Our experience was excellent, and we can't wait to go back and sample more of their tasty treats.
