Things to Do Locally

We have a lot of clients ask us for local recommendations for food, coffee or things to do when they come from further away for an appointment!

Here are our local favorites whether you need a bite to eat, a coffee or something to do to wait out rush hour.

Drinks

Just a reminder that you cannot get pierced if you’ve consumed alcohol so we only have nonalcoholic suggestions!

  • Our favorite local coffee option! A Vienna staple and for good reason. Everyone here is lovely and they have the best coffee, tasty pastry options and snacks.

  • Smoothies! We all live for smoothies!

  • Bubble tea is a staple at Brilliance and we love the selection at TeaDM. When your coworkers ask if you want to order boba the answer is always yes.

  • If fancy juices are your thing this place more than delivers! We’ve never had a bad juice here and their food options, smoothies and nut milks are all incredible. They also offer local delivery!

Food

  • For birthdays or bad days bundt cakes are our go to. They have great flavors as well as gluten free options.

  • Handheld savory pies?! Count me in!

  • A shop favorite that has kept us fueled from our inception. Their menu has so many amazing options and their juices and salsas are phenomenal.

  • You really can’t go wrong with any of the sushi options in Vienna but Sweet Ginger has been our tried and true for holiday parties and after work meals. So Good!

  • You’ll find a tasty all vegetarian menu at this longtime Vienna restaurant.

  • We love to get sandwiches delivered here for lunch. They’re always so good and the tots are an excellent addition!

Shopping

  • Our next door neighbors and yarn addition enablers! We love Red Fox! Their selection is phenomenal and CJ will happily help you get set up with everything you need if you’re new to knitting!

  • Pick up a book to read while you drink your smoothie, juice or coffee from the other places on the list!

  • This local shop has everything you need to rid your life of negative energy! They have a wide selection of crystals, candles and more, as well as an incredibly helpful staff to guide you in the right direction!

Activities

  • This 45 mile trail goes from Purcellville to Shirlington and we’re not telling you to do the whole thing but there are some nice parts of it to stroll on through Vienna! Just watch out for bikes!

  • This cute little park is just down the street from the shop and offers streams, woods and a surprisingly isolated feel for being in the middle of Vienna. A shop favorite for a morning hike before work!

  • This park has tons of flowers and plants and makes for a lovely walk! They also have a seasonal light show in the winter.

  • If you can schedule your appointment around a show at Wolf Trap you’ll be in for a treat! This National Park for the performing arts is a really unique venue to catch a show at!

We hope you’re able to enjoy some of our favorite places and if you find somewhere you love that we missed please let us know!
