RĀko Coffee Roasters - Shirlington

Best coffee shop in Court House, absolutely recommend going and getting a perfect espresso drink. They're doing it right here.

Rako is my go to stop for the BEST honey matcha latte. they have oat milk!! To begin, the inside is SO cute and there is a good amount of seating, but also there is outdoor seating. It is super cozy inside! They have a variety of coffee and tea options to choose from! I have also tried their volcanic black salt vanilla latte that the barista recommended for me and it was YUMMY! They also have a cocktails happy hour from 4pm 6pm. I personally have not tried their cocktails yet, but have heard amazing reviews from my friends. In terms of food, they have a variety of pastries as well as a good variety food options. The monkey bread is SO good highly recommend!! I went for breakfast and had their egg cheese sandwich and it was AMAZING the hot honey in it was a perfect touch, and it was not spicy at all. Overall, love Rako so much it's a regular for me! Highly recommend checking it out!

It 's been Temporarily Closed now for almost a month. Not sure how hard it is to get an espresso machine repaired, but it can 't be good for business to not be open. Update: looks like the shop was closed by the county. Stickers on all of the equipment/furniture, so not sure it 's going to be opening again.

Picture this: it's a cold fall day, you want to stay home and get cozy but you're also craving a good cup of coffee. So you head to Rako and order a latte and snuggle up on their couch and enjoy your coffee in a home away from home. Let me just tell you, the vibes are immaculate. I studied here for 4 hours straight and it was absolutely perfect! Not only was my coffee delicious but I truly felt so snuggled and cozied up on the couch with all the fun pillows. This is my official go to coffee shop especially as the weather gets colder. 10/10 recommend!

Solidly good neighborhood coffee shop. Decent croissants, charming all-seasons ambience, friendly and attentive service, super weird eclectic music selection Just Can 't Wait to Be King was followed by Big Green Tractor , enough textiles and sound absorption panels that it 's not super loud and echoey, but most people were on their laptops or reading, anyway. Better than I expected from a largely cookie-cutter-development part of Arlington.
