Reviews for Gathering Grounds in Fairfax, VA
Came here for an evening coffee. The atmosphere is great for studying, catching up, or anything in between. It?s not too loud,... soft music playing in the background. There is plenty of seating in the back if you?re studying, or comfy seats in the front forrelaxing. The staff were great, super kind. Coffee was affordable and reasonably priced. I ordered a caramel macchiato which wasdelicious. I will be back to this location and suggest you try it out as well. Read more
I stopped in late afternoon for the first time to try this place out. Very cute inside and the barista was very friendly and... patient as I browsed the options. I went with a butterscotch latte. Unfortunately, I just didn?t love the taste. It was alsomore pricey than I expected for a coffee house right off of a college campus. I believe it was about $7 for a small latte. Mightbe worth paying that if it was delicious but alas, it was not. I may try their regular drip coffee for a better idea of theirroast, but truthfully, there?s so many other coffee shopped in the area that I already like, I?m not sure I?ll make another tripspecifically for this one.

I love going here and invite my friends to join me all the time and I really think it's because of the baristas. I was so happy... to have a spot with vegan options like the vegan blueberry croissant and vegan cookies but now that it's been taken away, i amleft heartbroken. One star for management, five stars for customer service. Read more

Amazing family owned coffee shop. The service was exceptional with great tasting coffee. Support small business!
I absolutely ADORE this place :) Wonderful vibe, amazing coffee with lots of customization options, and super nice employees!... The Halloween and fall specials are available all year round (which is great because their Vampire's Blood is to DIE for). Icome here pretty much every Wednesday. Photos attached are from fall/winter of last year; they're now decorated with flowersand completely socially distanced. Read more

Two in our party ordered a pineapple and banana fruit smoothie. I've tasted better, but it was OK. However, we both developed... food poisoning with severe diarrhea. I noticed that during beverage preparation for another drink, and employee was holding thepaper cup with his ungloved thumb inside the paper cup, while it was still empty. I don't know what caused our foodpoisoning, but I do know that hygienic practices are lacking in at least one employee. Read more
