Ordered two bagels and they were awful. This one tastes as horrible as it looks. And it comes with a new topping, plastic! That’s burnt into the cheese. 🙂 the other bagel was just as awful and I felt like I was eating a car tire. The restaurant also left off half the items ordered. If this is the quality of their food they need to be shut down.

I was so hungry and excited for a coffee. I spent $30 here and got the most disrespectful schemer and mid bagel. I also got an unmixed coffee latte with all the sugar of my drink at the bottom. Would not recommend.

This place gets worse and worse each time we go here. The first time we visited in the summer we thought we had found a gem- the coffee was great. I had the bacon/egg/cheese on an English muffin and it was great. My fiancé had the breakfast bowl and enjoyed it.
A couple of months later the café wasn’t even that busy but it took forever to get our food and drinks. The staff were talking about their personal lives as I was standing there waiting and then one of the employees was saying to the other that he wasn’t even sure how to make my drink. There also seemed to be some discourse about who was making the food as the one employee asked the another if he the food was ready yet and the food guy got short saying he would get to it.
A few weeks ago we had GrubHub deliver. I dont know if it was the driver or café’s issue but it took forever. We learned not to order any pastries from this place because the muffins are extremely dry and seem to be bulk bought from Costco.
This past weekend we tried again on the day of the Manassas Old Town Holiday Craft Show. It was super busy and they seemed to only have 2 staff members behind the counter. I wasn’t acknowledged for a bit but then I was finally told to use the self-serve kiosk because it would be faster because they were so far behind. I decided to just leave.

Perfect coffee shop. I was here waiting after dropping off my son at a birthday party. Found this place and just totally enjoyed it. The chai was awesome and the bagel with smoked salmon was just right. Relaxed here for three hours and I highly recommend to anyone.

My husband and I were in from out of town and came across this place while looking for coffee. I am so glad we found this place. We were in VA for 5 days and had coffee and breakfast from there. Every. Single. Day. The coffee was delicious, not too acidic or overly sweet, just perfect. I tried a new one each day and loved all of them (Peanut Butter Mocha, Iced white chocolate raspberry mocha, Iced chai, and the Mounds mocha). The food is really what made this place sparkle though. I got the sausage breakfast burrito which was cheesy, flavorful, and HUGE. I also got the NYC lox bagel, veggie egg and cheese English muffin, and a pumpkin danish; all of which were phenomenal. Everyone was so nice and thoughtful, one of the workers there even asked my husband if she was putting enough caramel and vanilla in his drink since he ordered the same thing every time we went. I kept telling my husband I would move to Manassas just for this cafe. Long story short: GO HERE!

Been going here for Friday night dinners after work for a bit and I love the vibe. Great priced food, mellow staff, and a great selection. We accidentally ordered an item for my vegetarian, dairy free partner that we didn’t realize contained cheese and were not charged for it. In addition they came up with an original dish that suited their dietary needs and tasted marvelous. This is a winner place to visit!

I’ve been here a few times and wanted it to be good because the location is so convenient, but I just don’t like it. On our most recent visit, my husband’s espresso was burnt and tasted horrible. My latte was undrinkably sweet, I ended up pitching it halfway through. I like the space itself (except for the pac man machine that you only get one life on!), but there are much better options for coffee nearby.

Comfy and chill place! Doesn’t feel as annoyingly modern as Starbucks. The barista that served me and my friends was really sweet and considerate. Sitting outside was also nice.
The mango milk tea was yummy!

I woke up one fine Sunday morning and my finacee decided she wanted to bring me breakfast since I sleep a bit longer than her. Anyways, she brings home coffee and breakfast from “Grounds Central Station”. I got a mocha frappe that was a bit gross. It was watered down and the drink wasnt mixed correctly. Apparently the barista was pretty bad, as my finacee and her mom’s drinks were horrible too. For food, I had the “Breakfast Burrito Bowl with onion, tomato, peppers, 3 eggs, hash brown, cheddar”. It was solid, I wouldn’t say it was anything special. The meat was good and the serving size was nice but it could have used a bit more cheese and some flavors. Thankfully the hash brown wasn’t soggy or anything, so I’ll give credit for that. Overall, maybe I’ll do an updated review with me sitting down in the restraunt eating to see if there is a difference. I highly doubt it, but that’s only if I crave for the bowl dish again, as the coffee is better at Wawa’s.

Cozy little place in the heart of Old Town. I had a Chocolate chai with Expresso and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. The sandwich was very good and hot. The chai as well was well done.
Took a little longer than it should for the chai but the go apologized for the delay.
The sign and cafe as a whole seem like they can use a bit of an update with certain items. But still a good place to stop and at and get some coffee.
