For Five Coffee Arlington

This place has the potential to be a great coffee shop with the following positives: location, stylish and cozy seating, great coffee roasts, high-end espresso machine, good pastries.
Sadly, the employees are doing injustice to this place. It’s apparent they don’t know or care about coffee and treat this as an odd job and it hurts the quality standards of For Five and doesn’t justify their high prices. I have gotten poorly-made and inconsistent drinks, and it shows they either don’t care or aren’t trained properly. I also have gotten uneducated and apathetic responses when I asked about their coffee beans on sale.
Management should definitely hire actual baristas who care about their job at a place of this caliber and invest in their employees, and if that is addressed then this place could easily be the best quality coffee in Arlington (and yes even better than Northside).

Visiting the store with family of four and ordered their breakfast sandwiches. Two regular and two with gluten free bread, per menu option. When requested, the employee was not familiar with this option and didn't even mention it was an upcharge during/after ordering. Found this out after leaving a 15% tip and handed the receipt! The sandwiches were different with the regular having guacamole and gluten free with sliced avocado. Plus, the $3 upcharge per sandwich for gluten free bread was a joke since we only got once piece of bread per sandwich! Would not recommend and I will not be returning.

I ordered to eat inside, but they packaged my food to go. It took 20 mins for them to realize. Food was cold and inedible. They were unapologetic and offered no consolidation. Terrible service and very pricy, do not go. Waste of $50 for cold and bland food.

Frustrating that the iced matcha latte shows $5/5.25 for the pricing but the large ended up being $9.85. When I asked them why it was so much they said they are an extra shot to the large… but the menu doesn’t reflect that pricing. They should tell you this before…

Looks nice on the inside, staff was friendly.

Didnt like the espresso, was flat with no real taste other then, overextrated. Tried on two different days at different times. Might be the bean their using also. Hard to find good espresso in the area.

Drip was typical ok drip.

Sign for cookies brought me in. Ordered four of them. Didn't realize they were nearly $6 a cookie. Regardless I bought them anyways as I didn't want then to have to out them back on display.

Myself and three other family members didn't think they tasted good at all. It was four different flavors as well.

Oh well. Lesson learned.

Incredible! Best Matcha spot in arlington

For Five has great coffee. It has some of the best coffee in Arlington. The espresso drink I had was fresh and flavorful with clear signs of experience in its formation.

The space is interesting and inviting, too. I love the decor and the modbar. The baristas were friendly and helpful even during an opening day event where they were packed.

You should go here for coffee.

From the Five Boroughs and into Arlington! Modern aesthetic with excellent coffee and other original drinks, plus lots of amazing looking food. Every drink purchase comes with a free nutella cookie bite. Staff are super friendly and fast! Will update once I taste some of their breakfast and lunch food options.

I like to come down here for their coffee and the atmosphere. Not so much a fan of the food though. It's not bad, but it's too pricey for me. They gotta pay rent though, so I get it.
