So, I do like this place. It's a local shop and they roast the coffee on site. That's awesome. It stays pretty busy even though there is a Starbucks down the street. You can also order ahead which is convenient, but you still have to park behind the building and go in which takes a little (seriously, a little) more effort than parking at Starbucks. Not their fault. If you want to go there to work, better get there early. People go there and camp out. They're ordering coffee and being good patrons, but that means there isn't a high turnover rate of tables. I really love all the plants and the big, sunny windows. It feels very warm and it's my favorite place to kill time. I usually get the matcha latte which is average at best. For some reason they don't have coconut milk and the almond milk feels too thick. The food there is good and original. I like that it varies and that it's not mass produced (like Starbucks). However, this also means that if you like something, it may not be there next time. I've only had one thing there that was difficult to finish. I can't even remember what it was other than that it was a ball. If you see it (and it's gluten free) pick anything else. Seriously. Go for the gluten and get their bacon biscuit. It's DELISH! My only other complaint is that it closes pretty early. I wasn't expecting that. This is not a spot for afternoon coffee or a date-meet-up. All in all, a good spot if you're in Falls Church and definitely worth checking out instead of Starbucks.
