Two visits – neither impressed me. Perhaps having owned a restaurant myself back in day i notice more than some.
All sit down restaurants especially if you are supposed to be higher character than a TGIF should have guests greeted within 60 seconds of sitting to greet them and acknowledge they sat and give them water. Busser should be doing this is waiter is busy. Neither visit did this occur. Second visit waiter was better once waitress started serving us
Food was nothing to write home about. French toast first visit was eh from memory. My friend praises the crepes. I had a taste of them. Was good but not OMG amazing. Got chicken salad croissant sandwich second visit. The greens on it i did not like flavor that is personal taste. The salad itself was dry and mayonnaise based. Likes the nuts and cranberries in it. Mac and cheese was ok. Not much cheese. Lemon bar dessert i am not certain it was made from scratch there. Could be from restaurant depot
Atmosphere is best bc it is historic old house they did not remodel at all just worked with original lay out of it including leaving the tub plumbing and all in the restroom. Music was playing in some areas that could sort of be heard in the others.
Worth a visit to decide for yourself but i would NOT say it’s one of the best cafes in area.

Hidden gem with excellent crepes, lattes, ambiance, and friendly staff!! We got their special latte of the month which was an Apple fritter with Apple, caramel, cinnamon, and oat milk. It was DELICIOUS—so much so that after we went for a walk in the quaint historic town, we came back to order more coffee to go for the drive home! We also got a yummy strawberry crepe with maple syrup, cinnamon, and whipped cream, and avocado toast with bacon and tomatoes. Wish we lived closer—we’ll definitely be returning if we’re in this area again. And our dog Zulu LOVED the pup cup the awesome staff gave us!! 10/10 worth the stop

Came here today for brunch on the patio and loved my experience! The service was incredible, our server was attentive and so sweet. The entire menu looked delicious and I ended up getting an iced latte with lavender added to it and the Alli’s Berries and Blitz Crepe. Both were phenomenal. I loved the little details to the restaurant like the plants and flowers decorating the patio and the front of the cafe. In addition to the great service, delicious food, and cute aesthetics, they are dog friendly! Can’t wait to come back and try more menu items

This place is so cute & has such a nice vibe. I love the various seating options, either outside or inside. Excellent, friendly, attentive service. Really enjoyed the Evan crepe (pesto aioli, feta, spinach, tomato, chicken) – nice creamy balance. Vanilla latte was great. Cobb salad was delicious with perfectly cooked bacon bits. The fruit cup was served warm on a hot day which wasn’t something I loved but the fruit itself was fresh. I will definitely be back to try the menu in the fall, definitely worth the trip out. You get to see train go by & can walk around the small historic part of Clifton.

This European-style café features a cozy atmosphere, inviting spaces, and a charming coffee bar with unique paintings. With outdoor seating, it’s ideal for brunch or enjoying coffee and crepes. The friendly staff and exceptional food make it one of the best brunch spots in Northern Virginia, complemented by great specialty coffee and attentive service.
The Yin Yang Latte features a harmonious blend of white and dark chocolate, giving it a flavor reminiscent of hot chocolate but with the perfect caffeine boost. It pairs wonderfully with any meal choice. The Crème Brûlée Latte is sweeter than anticipated because of the burnt sugar on top, but it remains delicious.
Cafe Cuban features pulled mojo pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, coleslaw, and mustard on lightly toasted ciabatta, offering a perfect balance of flavors. The Monte Cristo combines turkey, ham, and Swiss on French toast, served with mustard, mayo, and raspberry jam, which is ideal for fans of soft toast. For dessert, the Cherry Cheesecake Crepe is filled with cheesecake cream and sweet cherries, dusted with powdered sugar, and has a delightful texture.

We held my daughter’s Bridal Shower at The Clifton Cafe and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The owner was great to work with and the service on the day of the Shower was wonderful! Everyone had a great time and I was beyond thrilled! I highly recommend The Clifton Cafe to anyone looking to have a special event that will create beautiful memories for years to come!

100% recommend this little gem in the Clifton historic district. The salmon crepes and cinnamon rolls may be the best I’ve ever had! The ambiance is charming and quaint, complete with pets allowed on the patio.

The food was slow but very good. The service was extremely nice. Very affordable for this kind of cafe. We got the classic crepes and chicken and waffles. Also the black and white latte. We enjoyed pretty much everything

Patrick was super hospitable and the atmosphere was delightful! Creative drinks and completely custamizable. I had a hot hug in a mug with the Baileys on the side. When it got cool I poured it over ice and got to experience the incredible flavors in 3 different ways.
