For Five Coffee Alexandria

This place is amazing for a change of scenery in the remote work environment. Those cookies are the best! The food is aesthetically pleasing to the eye but nothing amazing to the tastebuds.

Great place to meet friends for a small bite and coffee. The only thing I would say is it does get pricey. Once i paid $30 for a coffee and salad.

Can you say delicious? Everything was delicious. You must come hungry because you are going to leave full. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars was because service was a little slow. But the food was certainly worth the wait. The French Toast, the Pancakes and the Korean Boa chicken were all amazing. All had a unique and delicious flavor profile.

Everything I ordered was yummy, but the stand out for me was the Caramel Cinnamon Apple Cookie. I loved the fact that they keep the cookies warm so that could be devoured right away. It is basically like a mini apple pie but better.

First time visiting For Five, double espresso made perfectly, staff was informative and gave me excellent customer service.

Went back next day with a friend and had breakfast. Oatmeal and Croque Madame, cappuccino and again the staff was excellent and chef charming. The locals know about this business, but visitors must go at least once. Their bakery selection is also sinful.

This is a lovely place with an outdoor seating area.

Many varieties of hot & cold drinks, and pastries! 🥐

Coffee and latte are great. I usually order a cappuccino when I come here. ☕️

Also it’s a really cozy place to take your laptop and work/study. 🤓

See the pictures!

A solid choice for a place to meet up with friends or to find a place to sit and work. You can tell the baristas know the details of and care about coffee. I didn’t try any of their sweets since they didn’t have any gluten free sweets, but their food menu is nicely marked for allergens of all kinds. A comfortable place just across the street from the metro/bus depot, though if you drive you’ll have to get creative and look a few blocks out.

I liked the design/decor as soon as I walked in. They also have interesting wallpaper haha you might see a familiar face or two. I keep it pretty basic when it comes to coffee so I asked the barista what a Cortado is since there’s no description on the menu. His response and general demeanor had a vibe of being totally disinterested so I didn’t inquire further.

The latte and croissant both hit the spot. I was considering something heavier but was turned off at the idea of paying $20 for an egg sandwich. After seeing a few sandwiches being served to others I noticed the portions were huge and appear to be worth the high price point

Had the overnight oats. Really good! The toppings give it a nice blend of textures. And it tastes great. Very good coffee. Everything came out quickly. Indoor and outdoor seating is plentiful. And all the chairs and tables are well maintained, no wobblers. There were so many things on the menu I would have liked to try because they sound delicious, but I didn't have that much of an appetite because it was pretty early. I was really happy with the coffee and oatmeal, though. PS, you don't have to bus your table.

I saw the cookie advertisements all around the Metro station, so thought it would be fun to get a few and surprise me husband with a cookie tasting. I noticed the price wasn’t posted anywhere, but just made my selection and checked out. I was l shocked that the 4 cookies were $27. But, it would still be a fun surprise, so I thought it would be worth it. Unfortunately, we aren’t keen on really dry, crumbly cookies, and they didn’t taste that different when we tried bites of four different ones. So, not to our taste. The cookies may be great with coffee, but we don’t like coffee.

The matcha latte tasted great and the staff was friendly and prompt. I did have an issue with the cookies and muffins we ordered. They weren't fully done and one tasted like batter and flour. I would try this location again though, the food looks good.
