Reviews for 29th Parallel Coffee in Vienna, VA
This is perhaps the only cafe in the Vienna area that not only exudes the confidently modern, chic urban coffeehouse aesthetic,... but matches it with flavorful, thoughtful menu items as well. The interior is thoughtfully arranged: contemporary wooden chairsand tables that flank the wide-open coffee bar, all under an open dining space. My macchiato had the fruity, earthy, and tarttaste I expected of a decent espresso, and it even came in cute glassware, to boot. Service was helpful and friendly, and pricesreasonable. If you’re looking for a quality cafe experience not weighed down by the crowdedness, inconsistent quality, anddownright lack of cleanliness in other nearby cafes (looking at you, Panera Bread and Starbucks on Maple Avenue), try out thiscafe—and do sit down and slowly enjoy your espresso for at least 15 minutes. This is one of the best cafes I’ve visited inthe NoVA area, and I plan on returning very soon. Read more
The pastries here are fantastic! Beautiful, buttery, and fresh. They definitely stand out compared to most places.\n\nI tried... the DR roast as a pour over, and it was great. Fresh and light, and you can watch them prepare it.\n\nThe vibes in here areimmaculate, very pretty and quiet with good background music. It would be a good place to work from. Read more
Disappointing. My first, last and only visit to 29th PC this morning, Thursday, March 24, 2022. Hoping for a decent cup of... coffee and maybe a pastry or baked good on a dreary overcast day. The vibe of the place, in my estimation, had the charm of aninterrogation room only with better lighting. I ordered black coffee in a go-cup determining my car was a better atmosphere.There were 2 glass cake domes and a glass cookie jar that was the extent of display for pastry or baked goods. At 10:30 a.m.the cookie jar was empty, one of the cake domes only had crumbs on its platter and the second dome had 3 chocolate brownies anda lone blonde brownie. I passed. The black coffee was weak.

One of the best cups of coffee I\'ve had in NoVA. Perfect temperature and finish. Milk is slightly overpowering but still good.... Using a Marzocco. Nice to see a place that doesn\'t burn the milk. Menu is quite straight forward, would be nice to see a feworiginal drinks. Offering two nice single origin pour-overs. I personally like the minimalist style. Bakery options look quitenice. Read more
I’m just loving the whole chill vibe here, a laid back atmosphere, clean lines, it speaks to my minimalistic mind. This place... is all about brewing a perfect cup of coffee whether you want espresso, a latte, a pour-over, or just a brewed cup of coffee.They pay attention to details like the pressure applied to beans and the temperature of the water they use to express thecoffee. This isn’t char-bucks, this is a coffee lovers paradise.\n\nThe menu is minimal too, attention again to the coffee andthe process; when you come here, don’t expect a bunch of trendy syrupy drinks.\n\nCome here if you appreciate coffee. It’ssoon darn good. Read more
Good cappuccino. awesome blueberry scone. Friendly staff. Chill music. The arrangement leaves a lot of room for space. I... think this could be improved. But I’m not one to complain. I’m glad it’s in the community. I will go again! Read more
We\'re so happy this 2nd location is now open! I\'ve been going to the Fairfax Station location since it opened and love it!... It\'s hard to find authentic espresso beverages but 29th Parallel has mastered this art! Friendly owner and staff and greatsitting area. Read more
Great location for us in Oakton. We had a mocha and (an excellent) Cortado along with an apple pastry.\n\nExternal signage and... decaf now in. This visit we had a decaf and a regular pour-over with a very large biscotti.\n\nHas always been a good stop forcoffee and pastry Read more
