Simona Cafe
4520 East-West Hwy, Arlington, VA
Crema's Take
“Simona Cafe is a welcoming espresso-focused spot where the baristas nail classic drinks like flat whites and cortados with real care, and the thoughtfully crafted sandwiches (especially the Franklin) are just as worth your attention as the coffee. The space strikes that rare balance of being both a serious coffee destination and a genuinely comfortable place to linger—whether you're working solo, meeting friends, or simply soaking in the lovely atmosphere with a pastry and outdoor seating. With consistently warm service and attention to detail that extends to even the coffee cups, this is the kind of neighborhood gem that keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late.

Simona Cafe is a gem! The service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had a flat white and a matcha latte, and both were spot on. There’s also plenty of decent seating, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done. Highly recommend!
Nice cafe. I got a cortado which was great. The breakfast sandwich I got was delicious and well toasted. They have outdoor seating too, I’d go again
Absolutely amazing coffee and beautiful environment! Staffs are very welcoming and friendly! Love this place and will be back for the food and wine next time!
What a pleasure to be here! Come for the coffee but don't leave without a sandwich (the Franklin) or pastry. Great location, lovely decor, even the coffee cups round out the experience.
