Cafe V in Annandale offers a straightforward, unpretentious spot for locals who appreciate good coffee paired with a calm, practical setting. Nestled along Little River Turnpike, this cafe manages to feel roomy despite its modest footprint, with high ceilings and a layout that includes a long hallway with clustered tables toward the back — perfect for settling into a laptop or a good book without feeling cramped.

Here, the coffee runs the show, and the menu reflects a balance between comfort and a touch of originality. Drinks like the Pink Blossom Latte, Tiramisu Latte, and the Honey Cinnamon Latte cater to those who enjoy flavor-driven coffee experiences beyond the usual espresso-based staples. The pastry lineup, rotating occasionally, features approachable classics such as cheese scones, egg tarts, and chocolate chip cookies, accompanied by breakfast sandwiches and bagels topped with lox that make early visits worthwhile.

Visitors tend to come for breakfast through mid-morning when the menu briefly shifts gears from baked goods to heartier lunch options like Korean chicken, indicating a place that adapts to local routines and appetites. The vibe is quiet but lively enough, making it a practical choice for casual meetings, solo work sessions, or weekend catch-ups. The interior décor leans vintage ’80s with dark tones and playful plush toys, adding character without overwhelming the space.

The staff here are quietly efficient and welcoming, which helps keep the flow steady whether you're grabbing a quick cup on a Sunday morning or lingering over a latte while reading. Prices tilt toward the upper end for the area, but that seems typical for similarly styled independents offering carefully made specialty drinks.

For locals who prize a no-frills, reliably good coffee stop with a touch of variety in flavors and snacks, Cafe V hits that note. It’s a spot you’ll visit for a calm start to the day or a peaceful afternoon pause, especially if you appreciate a neighborhood cafe that keeps things simple but thoughtful.

Best coffee in the area without question. Honey Cinnamon latte is life-giving. Awesome cinnamon rolls, good other pastries, and tastier-than-you’d-expect bagels w/ lox available for breakfast early. Switch from breakfast sandwiches / bagels to Korean Chicken happens around 11 each day. Staff is always friendly, and the coffee is always excellent (and made with love). Wholeheartedly recommend.

We had a delightful breakfast at this place this morning! As soon as we walked into the shop, we were pleasantly surprised by its spaciousness and high ceilings. Although the interior décor style is old-school and reminiscent of the 1980s, with many plush toys, big graphics covering the walls, and dark brown painted walls on the other side, the shop was clean and well-maintained. We ordered a V Morning Egg & Cheese Wrap and an Egg & Cheese Breakfast Croissant, which had a pleasant flavor and were the perfect portion sizes. The prices were very reasonable as well. The coffee was excellent, with a rich, full-bodied taste and slight acidity. For dessert, we had gluten-free banana bread and peach scones. The banana bread came with a heart-shaped plastic bubble that could be squeezed to add sweetness and moistness to the bread, making it even more enjoyable. The scone was the best we had ever tasted; it was not too dry, had enough fruity flavors and bits of dried peaches on top, and we could taste a pleasing milk powder flavor on the last bite. The scones were so good that we bought more to take home. This shop bakes fresh and delicious scones every day, and they are well-known for it. The letter "V" in Cafe V represents the shop owner's first initial. Our experience was excellent, and we can't wait to go back and sample more of their tasty treats.

Adorable little cafe with great coffee and phenomenal pastries! I visited Cafe V on a Saturday afternoon to catch up on a bit of reading and work, and it was the perfect place to settle down for a few hours. It was quite busy when we arrived, but, thankfully, Cafe V had ample seating available, including a long, wide hallway in the back that was lined with tables. We arrived a bit too late to get a coffee, but we decided to split an herbal tea and an almond milk matcha latte, as well as a fig scone. The tea was lovely -- it was super fruity and a smidge tart, so all around quite refreshing -- and the matcha latte was solid. The matcha flavor was a tad too light for my liking, but it was still great. It's admittedly a bit pricey -- our matcha latte was $6, and most of the coffee drinks would have also been around $5-8 -- but it's not that far out of the range I'd expect for DC. The scone, however, really impressed me; it was super buttery, had a great flavor from the fig syrup and dried figs on top, and wasn't overly sweet. They had a wide selection of scones, which they bake in-house daily, as well as a few other pastries, so I'll be sure to come back and sample their other scones and coffee!

No-frills, Cafe V is run by kind people who efficiently make you your coffee. Enjoying more sweet drinks, I enjoyed the large honey cinnamon latte. Within minutes, it was ready at the bar on a Sunday morning. The space is very practical with plenty of tables. My latte was over $7, which seemed a little expensive, but everything is these days.
