Gathering Grounds - Fairfax

Turkey bacon egg and Swiss on an everything croissant-bagel was possibly the best breakfast sando I’ve ever had. Quiche also fire. Can tell the coffee is really nice.

They didn’t have regular drip coffee, so I had to have a cold brew. A small cold brew came to $6 which seems a little much…the atmosphere was great and it was in a good location. I didn’t see any gluten free options, but there were dairy free options for the coffees. The atmosphere was the part I felt like would maybe bring me back. Dietary restrictions: No gluten free options. They did offer dairy free options. Parking: The shopping plaza had plenty of parking

Gathering Grounds has some nice coffee. I would personally recommend their hot coffee drinks, because whatever milk for the latte has a nice steaminess to it, hence the latte. The iced coffees are also pretty good, but I personally prefer the hot coffees more. The chocolate croissant is pretty good, and tastes like it just came out of the oven. I also like the ginger tea from here. If I had a suggestion, however, it would be to offer more options for sandwiches or wraps the way Starbucks does. Maybe some turkey bacon, or chicken.Servers are nice, but I do wish that they had more seating as the place can get easily cramped, but when they are available, I really enjoy the lounge chairs.

It is a good place to catch a glass of wine on Friday evening.

I always stop by this coffee shop to grab gluten-free pastries for my friend.
