flat white and the pocaccia sandwich were delicious. Especially bread was awesome 👍
A hidden gem in Arlington. This chic little cafe will make you smile when you walk in. Love their interior decor and the menu wall. I absolutely love their outdoor sitting area, especially when it's a beautiful fall weather. It is a perfect place to read, work, or just hang out. My favorite is their house drip coffee, but other drinks are amazing too :)
I love Simona. The food, coffee, and tea is all really good. I just wish they had more seating inside or that the outside was more closed in. Sometimes it's so crowded I end up getting it to go when I wanted to sit down. But that's because it's so good that everyone wants to go to Simona! And you go on a weekend be prepared to wait a while for your order. It gets busy but is worth the wait!
We searched for a breakfast place with good coffee in Arlington and found this one at the end of a residential area. The café has a lovely patio that will be perfect for enjoying breakfast when the weather is nice. We arrived as soon as it opened and it quickly became full, as the inside of the café was small. The shop was beautifully decorated with small fresh flowers on each table and greens on the shelves, giving it an organic and inviting feel. The white walls and light wood-toned furniture made the ambiance cozy and welcoming. The coffee tasted great, with a signature creamy flavor with earthy and slightly sweet notes. Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious, with house-made focaccia bread that added a nice crunch. We preferred the Tyler sandwich, which had cured pork and more flavor and texture than the Wilson sandwich. We also tried the Chocolate Scone, but it was dry and broke into powdery pieces, which we didn't enjoy. However, this didn't affect our overall experience at the café. Clearly, this café was very popular with everyone, including dogs. We appreciated the staff and barista making the perfect coffee and ensuring our dining experience was great at this lovely café this morning.
Such a cute spot! It was pretty busy when I arrived, but the vibe was still great. I ordered a vanilla latte, which was smooth and delicious. I also tried the avocado toast on their homemade focaccia. Really tasty, though I think a touch of salt or more flavorful pickled onions could have taken it up a notch. I had my eye on the strawberry matcha, but they were out of matcha that day. Still, it was a lovely experience overall and I’d definitely come back!
Ordered the Tyler sandwich and a drip coffee with medium roast, single origin. Was not disappointed. The indoor seating is great for the winter season. Nice casual place for a quick breakfast!
Lovely little cafe hidden away off the main road with amazing coffee. Tldr; if my testament isn’t enough, there is always a line here which more than shows that others besides myself love this coffee shop. While small, the space is both well utilized and the decorations cleverly thought out. They also host a variety of community events, though I can’t yet comment on those as I’m still waitlisted 🥲. Overall highly recommend!
This cute little cafe has a menu of delicious seasonal coffee and tea lattes. The pastry and food menu is small, but everything is delicious and the staff is very friendly.
Looking for a quiet place for a great coffee and good food? This is it! The place is small, but has enough room for a couple of people to meet and eat, indoors or outdoors. Music is soothing too.
The best service, sandwiches, pastries and coffee in the area! Homemade focaccia, creative coffee drinks, good wine menu and even homemade granola for the pups. We’re regular customers and make sure to bring any visitors here. Martin is always so helpful and friendly, and the entire team and owner Jad’s welcoming atmosphere just keeps us coming back. Great outdoor seating, with covered and warm space for cooler days. Very community focused with book clubs and pop ups that always make me feel welcomed. Fancy grilled cheese and baklava latte are personal favorites, but even a simple cold brew is the best in the neighborhood.
