Come with me as I walk around the Reston Town Center. This area offers a wide range of activities, including shopping, diverse dining options, and entertainment.

If you’re looking for a spot to get some work done or get a pick-me-up, stop in the Tatte Bakery & Cafe. There’s also a Starbucks if that’s more your speed.

If you’re on the hunt for a bite, some spots to check out include Corsica Wine Bar, Heirloom, and Masti. See the other dining options available. And don’t miss Ice Cream Jubilee for a sweet treat after your meal.

There are a ton of shops like Kendra Scott, Lululemon, and J. Crew. Personally, I stopped by Sephora, Anthropologie, and Paper Source.

Pro tip: There’s also a LOOK Dine-in Cinema check out for date night. You can get dishes like pizzas or burgers to enjoy while watching your flick. A boozy milkshake while I watch my movie? Yes please.

And don’t forget to check out what’s coming to RTC Next.
