What's a flat white - It's this yummy drink pictured below! If you are out house hunting in North Arlington, especially in the Lee Heights or Cherrydale area, be sure to stop at Cassatt's to refuel. Cassatt's is one of those understated treasures in North Arlington, Virginia. Located in the Lee Heights Shopping Center on Old Dominion - I lived here for years before I tried it. My lucky clients just closed on a house which is a short walk from here in the Lee Heights/Cherrydale neighborhood.
They describe themselves as: Cassatt's A Kiwi Cafe. No they don't serve Kiwi's exclusively there, but are an authentic New Zealand style cafe and their specialty is the Flat White. Which is a New Zealand version of a Cafe Latte - with less foam.
Charming features of this cafe you don't find everywhere:
Coffee and Tea is served in adorable cups with saucers (see photo).
The only place around you can get a Flat White.
The main wall features art from local artists.
They have live music on Saturday nights.
The food is outstanding! Yesterday I had a black bean and corn salad with grilled chicken and avocado. Absolutely bursting with flavor, not drowning in dressing.
The servers are cheerful and friendly (if not incredibly prompt, but that's okay because they are sweet and the food rocks).
Check out Cassatt's for your next coffee, lunch or dinner out - and if you like coffee, order a Flat White!
