De Clieu Coffee & Sandwiches

This place is warm and cozy. The lattes are works of art - with amazing flavors that make it worth your while to stop by regularly to see what the seasonal offerings are. But, if nothing on their ever-changing seasonal menu catches your eye - the honey charcoal latte is *chef's kiss* always a winner. My daughter is completely smitten with their Honey Bread - it is her favorite out-to-eat treat. But one of the best things about De Clieu is the atmosphere - bring a friend or a book, you'll be able to settle in and have a lovely experience.

Lovely coffee shop, great selection of food and beverages! Plenty of seating too, which is a huge plus for a college student who enjoys using coffee shops as study spots. For my coffee I went for the pumpkin pie latte, which was delicious and not over-sweetened like the default Starbucks pumpkin spice. I also got a spinach & feta croissant and a blueberry-banana muffin; both were good but the spinach & feta croissant was amazing!

I do wish they would play the music just a little quieter though, it seemed hard to carry a conversation without raising one’s voice a little. Not a huge issue for me, but if you have sensory issues with lots of background noise you might want to consider that.

Great food. Great atmosphere. Staff is friendly and will give recommendations on food/drinks. Always busy given that it is in the middle of the city of Fairfax and only a couple miles away from GMU.

My husband and I wanted a quick breakfast before an appointment nearby. We saw De Clieu and decided to try it out! There’s plenty of parking so that’s a major plus for convenience. The staff are very fast and friendly. The menu is awesome. The quality of the food and coffee are great as well. If I’m ever in Fairfax, I would definitely come here again!

Cute coffee shop atmosphere. Nice breakfast food options include various egg sandwiches, not just pastries. Decent amount of seating if dining in. Always enjoy the food and coffee here. Great alternative to Starbucks- much better everything really.

We enjoyed breakfast here. I had the Eggacado -
Eggs, Bacon, Cheddar cheese, Guacamole on a plain bagel. It was delicious. My husband enjoyed the Egg and Cheese on a plain bagel. We both also had a medium sized coffee with cream. The coffee was a little bitter towards the bottom of our cups. Our only complaint. Employees were very friendly. Lots of seating. Restaurant was clean and welcoming. Would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

I like how this café has very unique drinks. I chose the Okinawa Haze, which is basically an ube latte. I grabbed my latte to-go because the café was quite busy and was a bit crowded, but it was a very hot day, so I'm sure people were trying to stay cool inside. My latte looked unique and cool with the purple hue from the ube and it tasted very delicious. I recommend visiting this café to try some of their drinks.

Located right on Main Street, they have some unique latte drinks and use house-made syrups. I had a matcha latte with rose syrup and it was the right amount of sweetness! the bagel sandwiches are amazing and a great option for breakfast!

I have been a customer for many years, often take my relatives here for breakfast or lunch, and always enjoy the sandwiches and coffee. I especially like the cold brew which is my go-to drink, they use good beans and it is nice and smooth, and not burned tasting like many other larger places. The friendly staff quickly learned what I like so I can order almost by saying 'the usual' :). There are precious few places that do both coffee and food well, and this is one of them. I would recommend this place, though it can get crowded on weekends, just go on an off time and you will find it easy to get a seat.

I've been in the Fairfax for about 6 years now and am so disappointed that I'm just now finding out about this place! It's so yummy! Not only do they have a great coffee/drink selection, but their food selection is amazing too! If you're in the Fairfax area and looking for a nice coffee shop, make this place your first choice. You won't regret it!

A friend posted about this place, so I went to check it out. Great location. It definitely stays busy on the weekend. The Okinawa Haze Ube coffee is very good. I got the coffee with oat milk, and it didn't have that oat taste. Highly recommended. I've had the egg and cheese on a croissant; it's ok. I haven't tried other food items, but the coffee is a win!

A huge menu with a great selection of coffees (alternative milks, seasonal flavor menus) and teas. There are breakfast and lunch sandwiches, pastries, and desserts (homemade gelato!). The long line and food delivery to the table moves quickly and orders come out fast. The staff are friendly and courteous. The food is great as are the lattes. This is a great little spot in historic Fairfax.

I have been going to De Clieu for years and they have been consistently amazing! They have great gluten-free options and great coffee. They also have an order ahead online so that you don't have to wait in line (it gets very busy because it is popular!). Highly recommend for a good breakfast and coffee if you are in the area.

We love the seasonal lattes— you can actually taste them here. The food is fresh, and the drinks are top-notch. Take your partner here. It's worth the walk from campus; superior to the franchised others in every way.

great food and coffee!! really busy on the weekends so the wait gets long sometimes but the service we get always makes it worth it.
the staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is great

Happened to be here while we were on our Virginia trip in March 2022. I am glad that my brother took me here for breakfast. The place is small and right on the corner of the street. Found parking next to it as it was weekend.

The food was super tasty. The breakfast sandwiches, bagels, coffee, muffin and a few more items we all tried and everything was prepared very well, authentic and fresh.

I would love to visit again when I happen to be in this area again.

The food was really good. Coffee was great! Went back many times! Only bad thing is do not buy their coffee beans. I think it's been sitting there for a while. I cannot get a good brew out of it. Other than that the place is solid.

i love coming back from college and visiting my local coffee shop. the service is always great and the drinks are fantastic. everybody please get the sugar plum latte it’s so good!!!

I ate the tuna salad sandwich with a chai latte! Sooooo delicious, will definitely come back again!

DeClieu is a Fairfax City gem— my family comes here at least once a week for great coffee & sandwiches. Equally good as a place to set up shop to work for a bit during the week on your laptop or bring your kiddos for a quick bite as a family.
