Java Grill

This place is a gem! We had brunch and were surprised by the variety of options they had. I am intrigued by their coffee selection. You can make your own blend! I'm sure I'll complicate it and blend too many varieties. I hope the come up with some recommended blends so we can try an expert recipe! We had a crab omelet and some waffles. Both were delicious!I'll be back to try their other dishes!

This place is such a treasure in the heart of Old Town Alexandria! I can't wait to come back often. Amazing... just amazing food. AND coffee! The coffee was so good. And the atmosphere was perfectly balanced between elegant and casual enough for a walk-in date. The staff were friendly and helpful! Best of all it's affordable! I can't say enough positive things. Great place to stop by for coffee, pastries, breakfast, brunch, whatever. Very cute.

Very comfortable atmosphere!! The food was amazing, and the staff was very nice. Very reasonably priced. Rolled gelato is a must! Best cafe in Alexandria!!!

Excellent high quality food! Everything was fresh and wholesome. The turkey sandwich was made of fresh slices of actual (not formed) turkey breast.

Great service and great food! The hostess and waiter went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed our stay and our meal. The food (chicken fettuccine Alfredo) was delicious and the chef even provided us with a free slice of apple pie. If you want to be spoiled, go to the Java Grill.

Delicious chicken and waffles. Awesome service for our large group. Highly recommend!

Sweet new spot in Old Town Alexandria. Fresh ingredients, loved their Autumn Spinach Salad and the have fresh roasted coffee beans from around the world. Of course their pastries are the star.

I come in here every other day and everything is outstanding.

Rolled ice cream is great.
The coffee is great. Cappuccinos too.
The all day breakfast is awesome.

If you're walking by they have free samples. Snag one of the cupcakes... you won't regret it.

Service is absolutely top notch. They want the business and it shows.

Great people and worth every penny.

I went to Java Grill for an early Sunday morning breakfast. The atmosphere was quiet and calm, and the employees were friendly and helpful! The French toast was amazing and the cappuccino was very traditional. There are tons of pastries to choose from if you're looking for lighter fare. It was a perfect cafe experience, and one of the few places in Old Town open early on Sundays. Highly recommended!

So keep in mind this is a new restaurant and they are still in the soft opening phase of a restaurant. If you read reviews here that are negative and in the first half of 2019, take them with a grain of salt... Here's my review so far... These are the sweetest and most attentive owners and waitstaff of any restaurant I've been to. They are super friendly.

They have a really cool idea where you pick the whole beans from some barrels up front, they freshly grind them into your coffee. Super cool.

They are still working to see what kind of menu and identity they want, and are actively seeking feedback. I had the shakshuka with eggs for breakfast and it was incredibly delicious. You could easily tell that whomever made that dish put love and time into it.

The crepes and omelettes we're good too. Just the right amount of crispyness on the outside without being dry on the inside.

It looks like they will soon have some tasty bakery treats ready to be grabbed, and I bet they will be delicious.

Give them a try when you aren't rushed for a meal. (I'm sure they'll get faster as time goes on)
Give them a try if you want to grab a delicious pastry with a coffee. (That's quick now)
Give them a try if you want a good cup of coffee.

Just remember they are getting started so be nice and provide feedback!

Looks like it might be just a dessert place but has lots of good food. We had the spinach artichoke dip with vegetable chips (which are a puffed white thing)- delicious! I had the French onion soup also wonderful! For dessert I had the chocolate temptation. Everything was so good we went back next day for lunch.

Really nice little restaurant. Excellent rolled ice cream choices, very friendly staff. I was very pleasantly surprised by our experience there - me and my in-laws came in with a group of 5 kids. The staff was excellent even in this challenging situation. Highly recommended!

Recently started coming here since I got a new job in Old Town. Low key place that’s wholesome. Their coffee is great, pastries are great, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. My most memorable moment so far has been coming in my 2nd day and being remembered. That’s a level of showing family traits.

Fantastic option! The food is good and the pastries are AMAZING! More importantly, the staff are incredible. My wife and I stumbled into Java Grill for the first time tonight and didn’t realize that they had closed 5 minutes prior. We began to leave when Ethan implored us to stay and took care of us even as the other servers were going home. We couldn’t have asked for better customer service. Definitely give Java Grill a try the next time you’re on King Street.

If you haven't taken a moment to stop by the new Java Cafe, you're missing out. It has become my first stop in the morning on my way into work. The service is always exceptional. Smiling faces to greet you from the second you enter the door. The smell of freshly ground coffee beens permeates the air. (Which by the way, is some of the best coffee I've had recently.) I will personally recommend the "Java Dutch Estate". I have not had the opportunity to have lunch here yet, (I can't stand it when local review guides give a place a mediocre rating based on one visit.) but anyway, the pastries are amazing and the service there is even better. Stop by and judge it for yourself.

I had the spinach and goat cheese quiche. It came with a nice mixed-greens salad. It was wonderful and I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely go again. Oh, my side of bacon was cooked to perfection- I didn’t even have ask for crispy bacon!

A lovely Saturday afternoon filled with wonderful staff who were kind and thoughtful. The treat display caught our attention and after enjoying our meal, we ended with a few treats; the cream puff swan, the Neapolitan pastry, and the chocolate lover gelato. The gelato was rolled and it was pleasing to the eye as well as the palate. Thanks!

Java Grill offers delicious food and friendly service. The quality of the food and it's presentation can't be beat, especially for the reasonable price. If you want good food on King St come here!

New place off of King St. One of the few places open for breakfast at 7 on the weekends. This is place also offers a myriad of options, dinning in or outside, pastries, gelato, and coffee.

Staff is super friendly.

Great food, great staff. Keep a look out for this place as it looks like it's just a bakery but it's so much more. Kurt the owner couldn't have been more helpful.
