This place is a real treasure in Arlington. The blueberry muffins are the best. Please don't buy too many though, the rest of us who don't wake up at 7am need a chance at themPS. The coffee is a bit more caffeinated than the usual coffee shop swill in the DC area. You've been warned!
I adore Sense of Place Café! It’s an oasis in the Arlington Forest Shopping Center. It has amazing coffee and lattes, delicious treats, smoothies, even some cocktails. The décor is inviting with international pictures decorating the walls, really living up to its name. Best of all is local proprietor Kay Kim, a cheerful, welcoming host who greets all with a smile. Please ditch the cookie cutter coffee chains and give this local treasure a try!
The owner looks like oriental women didn’t let us use bathroom and then after we got the order she kicked us out said the store is takeout only which wasn’t written at anywhere inside or outside the store then why tables and chairs are still there? No wonder why there was no customer comes in for drink. I see this business looks like falling apart and hope to be closed soon. Coffee was so expensive costed me $12 for two cups coffee. Beware this place and never go here. Horrible Horrible attitude to the customer.

We love Kim Seo and Kay Kim’s coffee shop, and are so psyched it’s in the neighborhood. The fact that the barista’s a chemist and they make their own coffee makes us appreciate it more.
Over priced and they added one dollar for syrup when I asked for hot milk. I will never go back there.How could you charge 5 dollars for a medium cafe Americano.I didn’t think you can be rip people off for coffee, even if you were located in Beverly Hills.
Best coffee in DC area. The owner is a chemist who does her own beans and takes all of the acidity out. Also amazing home baked blueberry muffins
The owner, Kay, was very sweet and polite. She was extremely accommodating when I ordered a coffee and received something unexpected. She served up a new latte very quickly and it was absolutely perfect - the right temperature and just the right amount of sweet. She clearly cares about the happiness of her customers.
Great lattes, especially the honey cinnamon! The owner/staff are very accommodating and made sure we were satisfied with drinks. Highly recommend and will be returning!
Amazing V60 Pourover. Great clarity. Friendly and specialized café.
