Coffee Shop No. 457Cortado Cafe & CreperySpringfield, VADecember 6, 2024My husband and I went to Backlick Shopping Center to grab some food at Taco Bamba. I was overjoyed to see their new neighbor was Cortado Cafe & Crepery. I quickly recognized the logo from Cortado Cafe in Alexandria; which means my expectations went up. I remembered the location in Alexandria made an amazing cortado.I only had a few of minutes to spare and there was no way I was going to skip the cafe. Thankfully Cortado Cafe & Crepery provided friendly and fast service. The cortado was delicious. The cafe provides plenty of seating. Add Cortado Cafe & Crepery to your cafe list. You won't be disappointed. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

This place has lots to offer: Beautiful, delicious, and nutritious food and drinks; inviting ambiance; and personable customer service.For those looking for a place to work remotely, there are lots of tables AND electric outlets at *every* table! The owners actually encourage people to come in and linger, even if you're working away on your laptop.I appreciate that this place serves food and drinks on ceramic or glass plates or drinkware, and metal cutlery -- when dining in --because it feels more elevated for a counter-service establishment and less wasteful.My husband ordered a chicken avocado panini that came with a side salad of his choice (I believe the options were either a house salad or Caesar), and I got an avocado quinoa salad that was beautifully vibrant visually and in taste. Both were delicious and we look forward to trying more! They have an all-day breakfast menu, too!My husband enjoyed his decaf double espresso, and I had a delicious pumpkin chai latte.Another bonus: Your foamy drinks come with latte art!

We'd planned to stop by Taco Bamba but it was packed and so loud, we dropped in to the Cortado Cafe. We'd brought a puzzle game to play together and were able to find comfortable seating and the room to play. Our drinks were tasty and the food was fresh and delicious. The place is very clean and the staff seem to take pride in everything from pulling a shot to plating a dish to wiping down a tabletop. We were impressed and will be back! The chairs are sturdy enough for bigger bodies and bench seating is also available. Any of the tables could be made accessible for someone with a wheelchair. The bathroom is also clean and accessible.

Amazing food, fast service, and cute atmosphere make this breakfast all day spot a hit! They also have extended Ramadan hours which is also appreciated by the many who fast. Try the pina colada crepe or beaked apple & brie if you are wanting something that is warm and cozy. Top it off with a chia latte and your tastebuds will be happy you did!

I love trying new coffee shops so I had to give this one a try. The cool thing about this cafe is that they offer crepes, breakfast all day, sandwiches, and coffee. I ordered a pumpkin spice latte, yes, I'm one of them lol. Anyhoo, it was really delicious. I can tell it was crafted with quality ingredients and the presentation was so beautiful. The prices seem reasonable. I love that there is ample parking around. I was greeted upon entry. My Apple Maps had trouble finding the place but it is in the same plaza as Chick fil a. It's right next to Taco Bamba.

We need more small businesses like this that do it right. Came here for dessert on a date and wasn't disappointed. The inside is very clean, although somewhat tight seating. There is somewhat of a wait if you get certain items on the menu that require prep, but that just means everything is made fresh to order. The crepe we had was delicious. Overall, a great crepe option in this part of town.

I absolutely love Cortado Cafe! I recently came in with a friend during the first weeks of their opening and was greeted by their incredibly kind staff. The cafe is cozy and has lots of room for eating in or getting some work done - the perfect quiet spot to enjoy a nice cup of Joe!Having recently went to NYC (home of the viral tiramisu latte), I was so excited to see there was a Tiramisu Latte on their menu. It truly is so decadent and delicious - the perfect blend of cream and coffee that will leave you wanting more. One of the best coffees I have ever had in the DMV!If you ever find yourself in Springfield, Cortado Cafe is the place to be for quality coffee and delicious food!

*Apologies in advance for the long review*Currently sitting here and it's my 1st visit - had to write about it immediately! I knew there was a location in Alexandria (never been) but this is closer to home and recently opened. Based on the Alexandria location photos I was pleasantly surprised when i walked in here bc it almost matches in the way the wall is lined with comfy booth seating and tables with seats across. (2 person setting)Additionally, they have bar counter seating if you like to watch people make your drinks. There's plenty of outlets, which is vital for me when looking for a WFH cafe spot. Relaxing piano music and great environment even if you have meetings and 2 clean restrooms. Located right across from Brookfield Plaza, next to Taco Bamba in the same area as Chic-Fil-A. I've been sitting here for a couple hours during my lunch break and currently still working. There is plenty of parking but since this is a busy plaza it may take a couple min - I got lucky and found a spot right in front.I put down my things and was promptly greeted at the register. The staff is very friendly! I asked what flavor shots they have for the coffee and Mustafa gave me a whole list. I love going to cafes where youre given dine-in style cups and mugs - I came to sit and enjoy my time, not rush out of here so I do not want a to-go cup lol. I got a hazelnut latte and ordered the caprese panini with a house salad on the side. The latte was great, I didn't have to add any sugar and you could taste the flavor shot. The panini was delicious, great portion and the dressing on the salad was lovely.How sweet, the staff member just came up to me and gave me a yogurt parfait to try :D ! I got him to add honey for me and it's absolutely delicious. Crunchy from the granola/oats, with various berries and nuts for texture. I talked with Mustafa and Sam, (staff and owner), who are from Mauritania and Morocco, who told me the bacon is turkey bacon and the meats here are halal - which is great to know so that I can order the meat dishes in the future. Mustafa is orginially from New York so he has great recs, he's also visited many of the DMV coffee shops so talk to him if you need insightI would gatekeep this tbh LOL but they absolutely deserve the business, and I'm hoping to become a regular here inshallah :)!

Literally the best cafe in Northern Virginia in my opinion. Their coffee is sooooo good and so consistent (obsessed with their pistachio lattes) and you honestly can't find better service. The workers are the sweetest human beings ever. Also really appreciate that they have turkey bacon which is so hard to find in cafes. Once you go you'll have a hard time not coming back.
