Our Guestbook
“ After attending a wedding in New England with an espresso bar, we knew we had to have one at our own wedding. We searched high and low in the DC area but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t outrageously priced—until our planner recommended Marco from Rare Bird Coffee, who she had worked with before. We took an afternoon to visit Marco in Falls Church for a tasting, and not only was he absolutely delightful, but the coffee and the setup were perfect—exactly what we were looking for. In fact, we loved it so much that we decided to skip desserts through our caterer and go with Marco’s offerings instead. We left that meeting thrilled and immediately booked him. It ended up being one of the things we were most excited about for the wedding. The coffee bar was a huge hit. Guests loved having something special whether they didn’t drink alcohol or just needed a pick-me-up after a full day of celebrating. We got so many compliments on the coffee and desserts—some guests even used the espresso shots to make espresso martinis at the bar! Marco’s team was professional, friendly, and an absolute joy to work with. If you’re considering a coffee bar for your wedding, definitely go with Marco at Rare Bird. I’ve already told all my engaged friends—they’re the best! ”
“ This is a DELIGHTFUL coffee shop, you can tell by the line that starts out the door. Their matcha is delicious! I watched them whisk it for me. the cardamom coffee was well balanced. Their pastries are bomb! the biscuit is good on it’s own so i know those sandwiches have to be great. The lemon blueberry earl gray cookie was well balanced and soft. coffee cake left some to be desired but had a yummy streak in it. ”
“ This cafe was a Wow for me!! Cortado had the perfect balance of coffee:espresso. It was smooth and creamy. Just delicious. Loved their Pastry options too. If a coffee shop has kough Amman, they're #1 in the book. This made for perfect pairing for me. The interior is warm, spacious, and cutely decorated. They have coffee subscription, 2nd chance plants (in broken coffee ware), and local pottery. ”
“ We walked into this cute little cafe only because we were at the shop next door, but we are so glad we did. The Google reviews rated it 4.7 and I felt it’s well justified. We ordered regular coffee and decaf latte both of which are nice, pity pour over is only available during the week, not over the weekend. The hot biscuit egg sandwich is lovely, the biscuit is crispy outside and soft inside, the cranberry chocolate pecan scone is nice too not overly sweet. ”
“ They have absolutely great coffee and delicious baked goods, the biscuits sandwiches is so good. They have decent amount of dinning space. The Order line was kinda crazy during weekends, but the waiting time was kinda acceptable. Overall, great coffee place for some quick bites and they are featured local artists which is nice. ”
“ Immaculate vibes on a leisurely Monday. Rare Bird was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. We drank a cardamom vanilla latte, iced dirty chai, and a nice big drip coffee. All exactly what we needed for a bit of pep in our step. The sun dried tomato, goat cheese and egg biscuit sandwich was incredible and would have ordered 6 more. Delightful little shortbread cookie for a sweet treat. Noise level was great, a slight buzz but easy to work in or join a few friends. Ample parking available behind the building ”
“ Went on a Sunday during brunch hour and the line was almost out the door, that being said, it only took about 10 minutes to get to the counter and order. For how busy it was I was still able to get a table. The cinnamon rolls are delicious and egg white sandwich was the perfect brunch meal, can tell everything is homemade! The barista forgot to make my coffee and instantly made a new one without hesitation and was super friendly! ”
“ I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this coffee shop. The large windows let in lots of natural light and made it easy to people-watch the busy street outside, while the inside stayed calm and quiet. Everyone seemed to be reading or working—no loud conversations—which made it a peaceful spot to focus. I also loved the touch of greenery with the plants around the space. As for the coffee, I ordered a vanilla latte. It was fine—not bad by any means, just not a standout for me. Overall, a great place to sit and relax or get some work done. ”
