“ This is literally my new favorite place! I didn't know what to expect, so let me inform you of how amazing this place is! Right off the cuff, I was greeted by Chris, my waiter that flawlessly helped me choose my drinks and food for brunch. The menu is vast, and having that helpful information about each dish from him was crucial in getting the food I was in the mood for. I got a cappuccino that was infused with lavender, which I wasn't sure about, but let me say I enjoyed it enough to get a second one. My brunch was the farmer scramble that I loved, along with pancakes. I don't know, which was more amazing because I never had pancakes that tasted like these.. it was a mix of brown sugar and cinnamon with maybe oats or granola? A must try! I then finished and ordered a smoked old fashion that is also like nothing I've had, and I've had my fair share of old fashions. Not only did it taste great, but the display and presentation of it were top-notch quality! Well done, True Food Kitchen! Chris is a keeper! And who every the cook is, is too! Out of all the restaurants here in Reston, this is a must try hidden jem! Enjoy inside or outside seating, it also had a lot of bar space and a closed off meeting or party area for a privet event if needed! Cheers! ”

“ With the help of Francesca Connolly, I organized a brunch for my friends and me—a group of 20—at this location. We were visiting after a hike at Great Falls, and all of us absolutely loved the place. The food was fantastic, and the staff was super friendly and helpful throughout our visit. They handled our large group with ease and made sure everyone felt welcome. If you're thinking of visiting True Food Kitchen, I cannot recommend it enough. What impressed me most was how accommodating they were to different dietary preferences. Regardless of whether you're vegetarian or non-vegetarian, you'll find delicious options that appeal to you. The menu variety really stood out, and everyone in our diverse group left satisfied. ”

“ As a vegan, I really appreciated the good amount of healthy, plant-based options at True Food Kitchen in Reston. I tried the mediterranean hummus, seasonal roasted butternut squash pizza, and it was amazing—flavorful, comforting, and perfectly cooked. For dessert, I had the chocolate chip a la mode, and it hit the spot—warm, gooey, and delicious with the vegan ice cream. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was great, and it’s clear they care about offering thoughtful, wholesome food. I would definitely come back! ”
