Had some business in Tysons this morning, which gave me the perfect excuse to stop by my favorite local coffee shop, Simply Social Coffee.
If you haven't been, it's worth the visit.
The staff is always incredibly friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and their Earl Grey tea remains one of my favorites. Today I tried the Marco Polo sub for breakfast, and it did not disappoint. It reminds me of a Bánh Mì in the way that it has cilantro, jalapenos and cabbage - but it takes on it's own identify with the shredded cheese, tomatoes and sweet chili sauce. It was filling without feeling heavy, and I love that they serve their meals with a side of fresh fruit.
It's amazing how much of a difference it makes when you start your day with good food, good people, and good energy.
One of my favorite things about Northern Virginia is discovering local businesses like this that help make a community feel like home.
