I always come here for the skim mocha. Make the experience better by getting a cookie - they're all delicious. And don't expect to get much online work done, the intertubes here are laggy.
DJuly 23, 2013Best place in Arlington for coffee/wine/place to meet or do work. Favorite place in the area.- Denise BrownOctober 1, 2016Best muffins in northern Virginia! The coffee is good but very strong. The staff is awesome.
Get the tea if you want a fun experience. It's like your own private tea party 🎉
Coffee is amazing, nice outdoor patio. The staff is super friendly.
Cinnamon peanut butter, salt & pepper pecan and lemon/lavender cookies with a hot cup of sweet mint tea - nothing beats it!
Mary RiddellDecember 10, 2013I don't normally like sweets, but the salt and pepper butterscotch cookie is unique and delicious!
Jim FarisMay 26, 2014Watch out for the creepy guy taking up two tables, hunched over his laptop, frantically posting on multiple dating sites
Really really slow internet. In the midst of blogging it shuts down, so remember to back up your work. Regardless they have really really good cappuccinos and home made doughnuts!
Pumpkin muffins are awesome. Breakfast sandwiches are hit or miss - runny whites on more than a few occasions.
Washington Business JournalMarch 28, 2011WBJ's Top Shelf says: "Northside Social is a mixture of a coffee shop, wine bar, and French brasserie. Now that's what I call options!" (WBJ 3/19/11)
Go for the amazing coffee, stay for the social & study environment, leave with the Amish chicken salad sandwich.
Nutella pop tart, right way to start the day. Only option missing with this is a glass of cold chocolate milk
LaurenAugust 1, 2015Can be hard to find a spot to sit and it is somewhat expensive. If you're looking for a place to get work done in a quiet place, this is not a good option.
Mikhail BJuly 3, 2013Good food. Great tea. Expect hipster customer service. Come for the atmosphere.
ConnerJuly 27, 2013Great place to get work done and enjoy some wine, beer or maybe just some coffee.
Nice place to socialize even majority are doing their paperwork in a friendly atmosphere
A more than worthy replacement for the old Murkey Coffee. Try your coffee black first, you may be surprised by what you think. This ain't Starbucks.
The nuttela tart they offer this morning is excellence: chocolate and hazelnut are best friends!
Kathryn FeatherstoneJuly 10, 2011Try the cortada and the coffee cake muffin. Both are what keep me comin back. I get one cortada for here and one to go
They have a breakfast roll that is with raspberry jelly and frosting - like a cinnamon roll- its delicious.
Michael RodriguezJanuary 16, 2013The Wine Bar is amazing. The service is great, and incredible selection!
IsabelSeptember 19, 2013The breakfast sandwich was good but it was on the expensive side. The service was pleasant, overall I would come here again.
Upstairs at the bar is quieter than downstairs if you have work to do or a call to make.
Amy MorehouseMay 30, 2012Tammy is the BEST. Tell her what you're on the mood for & you won't even need a menu!
