Chicken beignets
Mary N.

Now watch me whip, now watch me beignet nae. Better quality than the place in Downtown Disney in California! Plenty of parking with kind staff. There's not a lot of seating though. The beignet is in between airy and doughy. Slider- would get it without the powdered sugar because it already has syrup/honey in it. It's like a McGriddle but better Chicken and beignets- pretty good, crunchy popcorn-chicken-sized pieces . Good to try once but I wouldn't get again Pomegranate tapioca syrup is just for a limited time so we tried that. The flavor grew on me and it cut the sweetness of the beignets nicely because of the tanginess.

Came in one day wanting to have a quick lunch. They weren't offering sandwiches at the time because they didn't have something they needed. I forgot what they were missing. I ended up grabbing a couple beignets to take home instead. When it's warm and fresh, the beignets are really good. Not too sweet or too doughy. I think they were priced okay. The shop was empty when I came in, but a couple people came in a few minutes later. The shop is really cozy and clean. they have the cutest decorations. If there are a lot of people stopping by, I think it can get crowded really easily. They have a lot of people who come for a quick take away though. Service was good. Beignets were good. Shop was clean and cozy. I'd be back to try the sandwiches when I get a chance.

Flight of 6 Beignets with 3 dippers

Got these from their food truck and maybe that's why it wasnt great. It was stale and biscuit-like. Was hoping for light and airy. Dips were also old, so much so it separated.

6 Beignets w/chocolate, apple butter, and strawberry (?) dippers

Tried a beignet a few times at family gatherings but I've never been to the shop and grabbed anything for myself so we made a late morning trip over. It wasn't really busy on the Sunday morning we visited so there was plenty of parking. The interior is a little small but nicely decorated. Staff looked a little busy but were friendly. We ordered 6 beignets with 3 dippers (chocolate, apple butter, and (I think) strawberry), a Gumbo'd Shrimp bowl of grits, and a grilled peach iced tea. Only took about 5 minutes to put everything together and we were out. The food traveled well. The beignets were light and fluffy and the dippers were really good. My favorite might be the strawberry (or whatever the pinkish one was). It was definitely a lot sweeter than other beignets I've had because it was both glazed and covered in powdered sugar. I think they would've been perfect without the glaze. The grit bowl was good. Shrimp were kind of small but there were a lot of them. Flavor was tangy. The tea was decent but not much peach flavor. It tasted like the sweetness all came from the peach slices that were put in the cup. Overall, a solid experience. Good customer service and the food is pretty solid. I would come back if I'm looking for something sweet to eat.

6 beignets flight
Caroline K.

MUST COME HERE!!! This place is so awesome!!! The beignets are so delicious and the owner is so personable and sweet. We got a flight of the 6 beignets with chocolate, caramel, and apple butter dipping sauce. They were all so rich and delicious. It was so much more than I could've expected. The restaurant is so adorable inside. Has plenty of seating and the most adorable decorations with photos of the owner's family enjoying his beignets! So heartwarming. I am so beyond impressed! I'll definitely keep coming back.

We stopped by this cafe shop in a small strip mall off of Ashburn rd for coffee. They do not have any alternative milk like almond or coconut milk, and their oat milk is not gluten free. The service is good and friendly, having said that we're unlikely to return.

Smoked beef tri tip sandwich
Maddy L.

I've been wanting to try Bilstads and I'm so glad I did! They have a small sitting area inside the store. It wasn't busy when I went on a Friday for lunch, but I'm sure it does get busier on the weekends. I had the smoked beef tri tip, I thought it was good but nothing to rave about. I wish there was more beef, but the bread is delicious and it is a pretty large sandwich that can make for two meals. The beignets were so good. They were fluffy, soft, and light. It wasn't overly sweet with the powdered sugar. The dips add just the perfect amount of sweetness. I had the caramel, apple butter, & strawberry dips. I thought they were all really good! Everything was reasonably priced & definitely worth the trip when you can't make it to NOLA

Breakfast bento box
Jeremy N.

Good beignets, excellent cafe au lait and other beverage options, but maybe only "OK" quality on the eggs and bacon. Friendly service from the time we entered, throughout our meal, and as we left. Cute little shop with several tables, but most customers took their orders to go.

I did a 26-mile ride to Ashburn and discovered this cafe. Worth the workout worth it (and provided needed carbs). I will back and plan to try the innovative, breakfast bento boxes and unique teas and coffee combinations. I had the ginger-maple tea. A pretty place on a sunny spring morning. (Now, I get to ride home--downhill, with a tailwind, and with happy tastebuds.)

If you liked fried dough balls this is the place for you! I've not had many beignets in my life so I can't say if these are authentic or not. My Louisiana uncle thinks they are the best in the area. They don't remind me of the ones I had in Louisiana which are more fluffy or the ones at the Arlington place which are similar to those. However apparently they are the shizzle bc the people in there I am not kidding told us they sometimes come twice a day. Prices are reasonable and lots of sauces. I wasn't a fan of the fact they are rolled in ginger syrups BUT the fam enjoyed them so there is that.

Beignets!

Pillowy soft and fluffy beignets showered in powdered sugar are served up fresh and hot. They are a good size but so delicious it's hard to stop! I ordered 6 to share with my daughter and we both agreed we could have easily eaten all 6. They offer a variety of dipping sauces that varies daily. We opted for just the chocolate but they will let you try the full "flight" if you want. The chocolate was delicious, thick and fudgey like a ganache. They also serve coffee which we didn't try since it was afternoon. The shop is bright and cheerful and service is fast and friendly.

6 piece for $10

Delicious and puffy. They are located at the end of a small strip mall. We noticed their outdoor tent and found them easily. The beignets are donut-like with lots of powdered sugar. It's best to eat them while they are hot. We sat in their indoor cafe. We chose the one Apple dipper. It's was a tad too sweet for my taste. They offer coffee and other beverages.

Very interesting concept as this place seems to be more of a dessert shop, I am curious on how good the viet food is.. maybe one day! I ordered the valentine bingsu which consist of a bunch of fruit and vanilla ice cream. The bingsu was advertised with "milky ice flavor" which I did not taste the "milky" part. The shredded ice was a great consistency, though! Easy to scoop up, melts fast, & not ice-y which to me is crucial to a decent bingsu. The strawberries paired were great and very sweet, the peach felt like it was from a can, pineapple gave off canned vibes, except it was extremely bitter and basically gone bad. Mangoes were OK not very sweet and Vanilla ice cream was good but you can't go wrong with that if it's store-bought. Overall would give this a 5/10 maybe 4.5/10. You order on the kiosk or at the counter. I opted for the kiosk as the employees were busy, I did however asked at the counter to Change my order after once I realized they had the valentine bingsu since I was feeling more fruit desserts (originally ordered the strawberry & cream). They were accommodating which I appreciated! Service was nice for the most part - the guy that served me my order did not acknowledge me when I said thank you... or when we took him the dish after the food and said thanks again lol service can be spotty based on who you get I guess? Again Curious on the viet food here!

I come here frequently and I'm always super pleased and I get excited about trying their new seasonal flavors. My goal this year was to find the top matcha spots in the DMV and out of MD, VA, and DC this has stayed at my top 3 spots. The matcha quality is rich in flavor and color. We literally drive 25 mins on weekends just to get tea here. My go to here is usually their strawberry matcha, for hot beverages I get the ginger red date latte or the golden majesty latte. As of late they brought out a lime guava strawberry latte which I LOVED (please bring it back)!!! The service is always great. They have a really good rewards program which we are signed up for. They always participate in cute activities. There's tea tastings you can sign up for (cute for dates/family gatherings). You can purchase tea and tea accessories for home. There's seats and games available for hanging out at the tea shop. Overall, I would highly recommend coming here if you're a tea lover like me!

There are also a bunch of tea accessories which I find very adorable however could be a bit pricey. The drink selection is pretty big. The drink I got however wasn't my favorite. I got the lime guava strawberry oolong. When I tasted the sample it was very yummy. However when I ordered it the drink came with so much stuff inside, it made the drink experience kinda disappointing. The sample was strained so I didn't think the drink was going to have guava seeds inside of it. While drinking it the seeds were impossible to ignore as they were hard and small. It's like a choking hazard really. I wish they had strained it before serving. So just be warned about some of the drinks you order.

This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!

However, coming back this time, it was almost a brand new place!! it's clear that the owners and the management have put in a lot more time and expanded not just the menu but the decor and even the upstairs loft! I don't recall the upstairs loft... but we found our ourselves up there with our warm tea and talked for hours. Time flew so quickly, and even though individuals were studying some more playing games and somewhere on dates everybody seemed comfortable and pleased. We tried a fig croissant like dessert, Earl Gray Madeline's, London fog and another tea. I made sure to get a chocolate cronut to go for my husband too. Our favorite was by far the fig dessert!
