There is a good calm vibe in the shop. Most customers are working quietly, yet the tables are separated far enough for people to talk without disturbing others. Free wifi and electronic socket at every seat.The cappuccino I ordered was delicious. However, I was served with a disposable cup with a plastic lid, so were all the customers sitting there. Maybe it’s a virus preventing thing. This is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, this place is definitely a keeper.2 unisex restrooms, very clean and spacious.

Nice coffee shop and coworking area. A little pricey for a quick breakfast, but that’s what you’re gonna get in Arlington. Friendly staff. Bike friendly.

Georgia is an incredible barista and made 3 delicious lattes for us this morning. Not only that, she brought them and our breakfast items out to our table, so we didn’t have to stand around and wait for them. She and the Three Whistles staff are always accommodating and go the extra mile for their customers. Highly recommend the turtle latte (Lg size comes with 4 shots 🙌🏼) and the Jamaican beef enchilada!

This is the spot. Great place to study, read, or just sit and talk. They have gelato, sandwiches, coffee, and an open mic on a Saturday night. What more could you ask for?

I really like the space. This is connected to Cowork Cafe but is its own thing. Indoor and outdoor seating. Reminders are posted about social distancing and keeping people safe. The foods are all covered, even the gelato, to prevent the spread of germs. The cowork rate is $20 per day or $150 per month, but you can sit inside without being a member. If you do become a member, you get access to mail lockers, printers, and high speed WiFi. Wide selection of drinks and foods, especially considering the size of their kitchen space...the seating area is spacious though.

As a café, work setting and overall hangout spot this place is top tier! If you are looking for a change from your usual starbucks this is the place! It has good wifi, a lot of power ports, tables and lighting! The tea and coffee here was brilliant as well as the vibe! The playlist was fire as well! The food was alright but it isnt a restaurant so its all good

Adam is a great barista. Now yesterday, I was tired and thirsty but I was in dire need of something sweet. Lo and behold, here comes my guy Adam! I said, I need something sweet. Big homie Adam said, Say less. This man proceeded to serve me this delicious Turtle Latte beverage that served all my needs man. Boss man Adam practically saved my life. So much so, I have now submitted, to my Aunts list of potential names for her daughter, the name Adam as a name both aesthetically pleasing and meaningful. Bless this mans soul and this establishment.

Love this spot to hang out, work, or coffee dates. Parking in the back makes this place even better. Great coffee and desserts too. I suppose. Lol.

Ive had to take 3 stars away from this place due to them allowing people to walk around without a mask on, even though I did tell the baristas up front. This person was even sneezing and this happened to days in a row. Even the barista was waking around without his mask on...A great little Cafe. Its feels like a great place to get some work done. Its what youd imagine a coffee shop SHOULD look like. The volume of the music is a little to loud, but I would comeback here any day.

I came when they were about to close, so I didn’t have the chance to try a lot of their things, but I really like the decoration and the variety of tables they have. I will come again definitely.

Great spot for working. Would appreciate more food options though. Well designed, cool vibe inside, plus patio seating outside. Power outlets are abundant. I didnt use the WiFi because it logs you out after an hour, but I had no problems tethering my phone. Theres a large space reserved for members, so presumably theres a community feel to it.

Bread was stale, atmosphere was even more stale. Ice Coffee was good. Overall, there are much better options in a .5 mile vicinity. I wouldn’t waste your time here.

I really enjoy three whistles. It’s a great place to grab a quick coffee or cozy up with a book and enjoy your food/drink. The interior is very comfortable and welcoming. I had an empanada and cold brew and both were excellent! I’ll definitely keep coming back here.

Nina please try to be a little more polite and decent with customers . Customer service is an art and you clearly lack the training and decency while dealing with customers . You were disinterested rude and very bullying in your manners. Seek some training and try to maintain a positive vibe . All the best .

Stopped in here to get a cappuccino. It’s much bigger than I had expected from the looks of the outside. A very cute spot. The staff was super friendly. My drink was a bit too strong, even though it was a half-caff.

[Brand New Episode] [Adventure Series]Decency of this destination is a perfect place to be in the relaxation of the countys break zone. What they have over there is brilliant to be in the amazing spot to be around with others that are kind, nite, and fresh for the public announcement beyond the front door of the page. Its really is the best place for the solution of break zones, layoffs, and time offs. Great service to get along.Welcome to the show, this is the host, youre here for the best details and the truth is the guide to give you, him, her, them, everyone else a chance to take the opportunity to the next level of confidence. As it begin. Three Whistles is the Traditional Desert and Lunch dine in restuarant that takes place in the path of convenience. Its also an European Social Dining place where the cuzines are unique. Is that so ? Sure it is. The food they have is base on Italian cuisine. Really ? Yes. They have them there. They usually have dessert like icecream, muffins, cake, buns, yogurts, drinks, coffee, hot chocolate, and breakfast. Fo they ? Yes, they do. They dont beatfest, lunch, or dinner just as buffets, and ecnic restaurants do, the event what you and the test are seeing is different spot to confirm, its very similar to Starbucks and Pwnera Bread of what the allow there is accepted but not the same food. Is that the difference? of course it is, no doubt about it. They allow Adventurers, associates, beginners, business people, candidates, church relatives, crews, individuals, employers, families, friends, kids, groups, relatives, staffs, owners, customers, residents, neighbors, citizens, explorers, guests, visitors, others, special guests, guest stars, students, travelers, shoppers, even ther rest to charge phones, charge their laptops, read books, study with notebooks, they even have portable charging adapters for extra credits for better technology, usb ports, couches, living chairs, studios, television sets, and private modern services. No matter who he, she, they really are, they allow them in any purpose they have. They even have very nice bathrooms. Huh ? What in the world ? is this really true? Im very positive about this. What they have is perfectly great. When I visited there, I expected theres many good cusines they serve, I was like, who, this is impressive to get serve like this. That moment I gathered to participate the dine in area, I wondered what they have and its amazing to be there unlike most restaurants dont have those. I got to visit meet with this one dude with his friend on his side that ask me. Is theres anything particular you want ? I said gues so. Let me know when you ready he said. Then we get along to mingle a friendship from one to another that I want to order food from him he help me choose the best one, then he serve me in help out while his friend gave me desserts for welcoming which is fantastic. The best special edition part is I mention they have Pokemon design characters on the wall posted on their cashier desk and employment service row. Thats the coolest thing they ever have. The Three Whistles is the place for everyone to spend time in, its one of the largest places in Arlington County.What else to they have ? Good question.They have lockers on the right where the restroom is. Notice its only fir employees and associates only. They have internet service too, Wifi. And yes they really allow it to be accepted there, each and everyone is welcome to do so. This mapping gps guide will help for assistance. Best in the Kingdom of Journey.

I went in to order coffee and I didn’t find the barista/cashier. I waited for like 7 mins and no one showed up. I put my laptop on one of the tables and waited. I thought the barista was in the kitchen or the bathroom. But no he was setting outside with a blond girl chatting and laughing. When he came in he start singing loud and dance behind the cashier. It was super unprofessional. I left immediately!! The barista was wearing a cap and has red beard if i am not mistaken!

I enjoyed my experience here at Three Whistles Cafe. Nina was a very sweet and warming energy who made me feel very welcomed. The ambiance of this cafe made me feel very comfy and I felt like I was at home. However, as an well travelled and experienced person in retail I would suggest to change the food display/menu and offer more homemade /fresh made food. As well as not using the food wrap but rather use brown recycled paper bags. I feel as though it would reflect the vision of the Concept more. Also for instant, I suggest locally roasted coffee in order to support the local businesses.

They have their own blends of teas here which are very interesting. The patisserie is average. The service is excellent. The gelato is pretty good! They also offer two vegan options in addition to their extensive menu of gelato. The vegan options are coconut and chocolate. when it comes to the lounge area it is superb. There are private rooms with curtains for you to reserve workspaces at. Plenty of outlets for your laptop and spacious sitting. Very comfortable couches and chairs. This place definitely has a great vibe. As a note to the owner . That is not Moroccan tea.

A wonderful place to relax and chill and listen to some great music on weekends. A variety of performers - a very interesting mix of old and new local musicians. And the Caramel Cold Brew is amazing :-)

Came here today for the first and last time. And it has nothing to do with the coffee, which was actually good.My boyfriend and I came in pretty excited that there was a new place in the neighborhood to telework from. I ordered a coffee and a croissant. I tried to Apple Pay but they said that it wasn’t working, so my boyfriend paid for me because he was next in line. They swiped his card before he could order. While that payment was going through, for some reason they helped the person behind us first before getting my bf’s order or my coffee. We ended up having to wait around for five more minutes while they chatted and got the next persons order and coffee.Eventually my boyfriend was able to order after a different worker came up to the register.They then burned my croissant and told me I could pick the burned parts off. I asked for a new one instead, but I couldn’t get the same one because they were out of that type of croissant. I asked for the other type but they were out of that too. When I said I wanted something else that they did have, a different worker offered a free gelato with my purchase. It’s 20 degrees outside today so I didn’t take them up on their offer. Finally, my boyfriend’s drink finally came out in a to-go cup, because they were out of mugs.TLDR: The workers are unprofessional and they were out of everything. However, my coffee and pastry were good.

My sister has lived in this neighborhood for more than 10 years and we have regularly experienced good customer service with local businesses in the area until I went to Three Whistles on a Wednesday evening. No barista was there for at least the first 10 minutes. We had come with a family member visiting from out of town and had to assure him that all businesses in Arlington are not like this. When the barista finally came, she was unapologetic and short with us. My sister said we had been waiting about 15 minutes and no one was here. The barista replied by saying said she had been in the restroom. Then, rudely, she asked both me and my sister, how is your day going? It felt very passive aggressive. She looked upset and was turning it on us. Then she served my uncle coffee that was cold and didn’t offer any way to make it warmer. Thankfully another barista came out and helped him by adding steamed milk to it to make the overall drink warmer. Halfway into taking our order, the unfriendly barista disappeared and was replaced by the friendly one. We felt very uncomfortable during our time there and I will no longer recommend this place.
