Simona Cafe
2507 Franklin Rd, Arlington, VA
Crema's Take
“Simona Cafe strikes that rare balance between serious craft coffee and genuine neighborhood warmth, where regulars come back for both the carefully executed flat whites and creative signature drinks like their orange blossom latte. The intimate, quaint space invites lingering over house-made pastries and focaccia sandwiches, with soothing music and dog-friendly outdoor seating that makes it equally perfect for a quiet solo work session or catching up with friends. It's the kind of place where the baristas clearly care about what they're pouring, and the community that's gathered around it proves that quality coffee and genuine hospitality aren't mutually exclusive.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Open late. Dog friendly.
