This is the only place in McLean where I was welcome with my little puppy, more than that we felt welcome and treated with respect by the waiters and owner who showed up with his little puppy inside to welcome us. Before leaving my puppy received a treat offer you can see in the images below! God bless this place the owner the waiters and everyone who is helping to run this place. That’s an example of the service and food quality Fairfax county needs! I highly recommend this place for small dogs owners. Thank you so much for the Greek salat and garden salat , was very fresh and delicious at the white private round table in the back! We will definitely come back with my daughter to show her that our puppy won’t get kicked out of the place but will be welcome.

Much rather go here than that other place that has the beginning word Star
Will not finish the word to help the add. StarNut has great coffee and bakery and soft ice cream. Their another name for it sorry. Please correct me! I come here often.

I’ve been here 3xs now and loved it. The atmosphere is pleasant in a pastel, cafe, comfy-chair way. There aren’t a ton of tables (unless the weather is good though for outside) but we’ve always managed to find one. My favorite menu items are crepes (2 come with each order and you can mix/match them) and the amaretto latte. They have a small case of pastries (Mediterranean style) and a small case of ice cream which we haven’t tried. It’s the perfect place to meet a friend for brunch.

This was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve had. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The photos online are not what you actually get. When I stopped by this morning, the display case was almost empty. I ordered two croissants and a hot bacon-and-egg sandwich to go, and paid $25. Honestly, $15 for that sandwich felt very overpriced compared to other places.
When I opened it at home, the only accurate part of the description was that it was hot. The bread was dry, there was no mayo, just one egg and a strip of bacon, and no cheese. It left me completely shocked that this is what they’re serving for $15. The bread wasn’t fresh either, which made it even worse.
I’ll be leaving reviews so others know what to expect. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place at all.

This is the best cafe in Northern Virginia/ DMV! I sat at a table and I was able to get some work done with two delicious drinks- vanilla latte and pistachio latte! I also had crepes which were light, sweet, savory and hit the spot! The almond croissant was flaky, fluffy and yummy. Starnut has a family welcoming atmosphere. The cafe was clean. The staff were so kind, on top of things, especially Hamdi. The owners, Samira and Hozaifa are so awesome too! You can really sense that they love the people they serve and their heart is truly in their business and having a community that serve others. Great spot! Highly recommend! I can’t wait to go back!

I ordered a large hot chocolate with whip cream. It was good, but there was a very noticeable amount that wasn’t filled in the cup. It was $5.65 for a large cup, but I got a medium’s cup worth of hot chocolate. It’s unfair to charge $5.65 for a large cup and not fill it properly. At least the chocolate muffin was good.

Easy to find and good size reserved parking available in the area. During rush expect the wait time to be quiet a bit more, I would highly recommend reserving it ahead of time. Seating is limited. They do accommodate walk-ins but take that chance during non-peak hours. Any party above 4 will need reservations.
Ambiance is nice, wooden seats are hard, tables height is decent and atmosphere is a quiet. You also get a view of the kitchen for some of the tables.
Food is fresh, great and consistent. Overall it will leave you satisfied. Menu has good selection of items. Service and friendly staff will make it a good experience.
Make sure you grab a seat first and then order. You might not find any of you do the other way.
A good experience overall, I will go back again to try different items on the menu and update the review.

Enjoyed the relaxed vibe and delicious food. Everything was wonderful, warm and welcoming. The Gelato looked amazing – we must return another day to try! They serve crêpes on the weekend, and they even had gluten-free options. Very impressed, and can’t wait to come back.
They do have a cute little café dog that was content just sitting quietly and enjoying people’s company, but heads up if you are adverse to that sort of thing.

I’ve been to StarNut a couple times. The last time I went, it was a almost a week after the snowstorm and the conditions were pretty icy. I picked up coffee for my coworkers and proceeded to slip on ice just outside of my car. Coffee went everywhere. I went inside fully intending to place another order, but they generously offered to remake the entire order for free. They did not need to do this and I remain very grateful. The gentleman also walked me to my car with the order. What a lovely establishment. Thank you, StarNut Gourmet!

If this is what you call a Chicken Mediterranean Panini I don’t even want to know what other basic food is like here. Disappointed is an understatement. Charging $19 for something this atrocious should be a crime. This is McLean gotta do better than this.
