Trending Restaurants in Falls Church

The weather is warming, the unidentifiable smell of fertilizer is in the air, and the residents of Falls Church City and the greater world are converging on the popular eateries of the area. To get a head start on the summer boom, The Lasso has compiled a list of places with superior food and seating that stand out.

Bakeshop

Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, and ice cream are appreciated at any hour of the day, any day of the week, and any time of the year. But the go-to place for go-to treats will always be Bakeshop. The food is fantastic, with an odd combination of both breakfast and desserts, but the one-of-a-kind atmosphere makes Bakeshop a one-of-a-kind place.

Rare Bird Coffee Roasters

This iconic local coffee shop is where to go on study days and quiet mornings. With great seating and the subdued friendly vibe, you can’t help but to forget about the coffee, for a short time at least. A great place to warm up in winter and meet up with friends in summer, Rare Bird Coffee Roasters is the place you can’t help but go back to.

Clare & Don’s Beach Shack

Every summer is not complete without at least one visit to Clare & Don’s. “I love to go to Clare & Don’s for dinner because they have a lot of music, and it’s a nice place that I go to with my family in the summer,” sophomore Allie Zegorski shared. With live music and the forever calm of summer break, Clare & Don’s is a summer experience we all need.

Like your local diner but more, Lazy Mike’s is the ideal place for a relaxed meal. “Their ice cream is also really good since it’s homemade. It’s been around for a long time, so I know everyone is familiar with it,” added junior Morgan Knight. From classic eggs and bacon to heart-attack-inducing ice cream, Lazy Mike’s is necessary for all Falls

Residents.

“A lot of students have a lot of these throwback band [t-shirts] that they wear all the time, and I think there’s a very retro look now. I think it’s a pretty neat idea.”
