As a George Mason University student, I've spent quite a lot of time in Northern Virginia. Northern Virginia, and the DMV in general, are known for having super cute spots to go out to eat or get coffee. I've been to many of cafes in the area, so I have a good list of faves. Here are some of my favorite very aesthetic cafes in the area! 1. Chateau de Chantilly, in Chantilly, VA 13974 Metrotech Dr, Chantilly, VA 20151 This cafe is so cute! It has two levels, the first is a standard cafe layout, with all of the food and drinks (I always get a lavender lemonade), regular seating, and a library seating area in the back.

I also plan on writing about some deeper topics as well. I'd really appreciate if you subscribed so that you don't
