    Falafel platter with all the fixings and the Nutella cookie because...life's short.
    Marlene M.

    Bonn Boni is a staple of the Ballston lunch scene, and after 4 years of working in the area, I am just discovering why there is always a long line. The falafel platter is worthy of a round of applause. A very reasonable (especially by Ballston standards) $8 will buy you six freshly made falafels alongside a generous mound of basmati rice and a mixed greens salad, all topped with their homemade sauces and aiolis. The textures and amount of flavor packed in this little dish is amazing! The garlic from the falafels and the aioli; the crunchiness and buttery taste of the homemade - or at least what I think are homemade - croutons; the sweetness from the corn; the cardamom in the basmati. Man! And everything comes together just beautifully. Absolutely, one of the best dishes you'll have from a food cart. And then there's the Nutella cookie. The owner recommends heating it lightly for the chocolate and Nutella to melt inside. There's no better sight that splitting one in the middle and watching all that chocolate-hazelnut-ty goodness ooze out (cue moaning sounds). It's easily the best food invention created, and even if you don't think so, it's the perfect indulgent ending to a great meal. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is because I was mistakenly overcharged as if I had substituted quinoa for rice on my platter (I would never do that, for the record).

    Who knew this little gem would produce perfection!

    Okay, so I think it's appropriate to give this food truck 5 STARZ. I knew the food had to be good, because there was a huge crowd waiting on their food..... 1st off the cookies they put out for customers to sample were maybe top 5 I've ever had (very strong statement). I ordered the chicken shwarma sandwitch. I wanted the platter (but they ran out of rice). He sandwitch was sooo good. The meat was marinated (I could tell by the flavors). I love the roasted veggies they add. They also put 3 different homemade sauces on it, which all three were amazing! I will definitely be back .... a hidden gem in Ballston. I may even double back again tomorrow.

    My all time favorite food cart in Ballston area during lunch time. Every time I see this place I immediately walk that direction to order before there is a line. I always get either the Jolip, or a shwarma here with lamb meat. The lamb is amazing, and I love that you can get your order with quinoa. I like to think that I am eating healthy when I'm here lol. The dish also comes with decent helping of vegetables, and there's about two servings in one order. It's almost impossible for me to portion the serving as I typically end up eating the entire bowl in one sitting =P. I will definitely continue coming here every time I see the cart =D. P.S. Their cookies are to do die for! I only got a bite in from a friend, and it was enough to end my cravings.

    Pop up truck is incredible! Best falafel I have had in DC, and don't miss out on trying their homemade croutons/garlic sauce. So so so good!

    Chicken Shawarma
    Chad H.

    I've got to give credit where credit is due. Decided to give Bonn Boni another shot and they did not disappoint. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma sandwich which was outstanding! The pita bread was fluffy and delicious. They put plenty of chicken in the sandwich, along with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and 3 different sauces. The sauces seemed to compliment each other really well together in the sandwich. All the ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. I must have finished my sandwich with 5 minutes of sitting down and could have easily had another. Sandwich is definitely much better than the bowl. I will be back!

    One of the best food carts in the Arlington area!  Love the sauces, especially the white gold!
    Mary P.

    Bonn Boni is one of the best food carts in Arlington! They often have new menu items and different seasonal toppings. They even make their own sauces--the white gold is my favorite. It's so great having Bonn Boni for lunch because it's consistently good and their quality is always top notch.

    Iman was an absolute pleasure to work with! The cake looked and tasted amazing; and definitely made the event memorable. I know where to go for my future cake needs, and will certainly recommend Bonn Boni to everyone!

She gave advice on our various flavor choices and made us feel so well taken care of from the first time we met! I love good food, and it was super important me to have a wedding cake that actually tastes good and isn't just pretty. The Marisol Cakes team exceeded all of our expectations!!!!! We ordered a vanilla cake with guava filling and crème bouquet flavored buttercream. The cake was moist, the filling was so flavorful and the decor was so beautifully done! The icing wasn't too sweet and perfectly complemented the other flavors. We're having our reception in a few months and can't wait to work with Marisol's cakes again soon!

They don't have a store but you can always order online and pick up your orders from them. The ambiance outdoors was nice. By the way there are no samples at the market. I was a little sad about that but it didn't deter me from purchasing from them. Give it try, you will love it!

    I recently had time to explore a little while in DC, and a charming PINK building caught my eye…read morewhile taking a walk. I had absolutely no plans on buying or eating cake that day, but as a cake lover stuff happens. It was such a cute building the pastries had to be everything! It turned out to be the perfect stop. 1. The looks The building itself is so cute on the outside, and being a fan of the color pink, it instantly caught my attention. Inside, it feels less like a fast, high volume bakery and more like an intimate cake boutique. It gives small town where the owners know you by your first name. You can feel that real love was put into the space and the baking. Tasted like every ingredient was hand mixed, every cake hand frosted, and every cookie carefully hand scooped. They even served my slice of coconut cake on a real plate, which was such a cute, bourgeois touch that I loved. 2. Service The hospitality here is top-notch. On my first visit, yes you heard me! Lol! The gentleman Eric who rang me up was incredibly knowledgeable about all the different cookie and cake flavors. I ended up returning the very next day, and although he wasn't there, the other two staff members working which included Mikaela were absolutely delightful and so kind. The young lady told me her daughter loves the carrot cake as well and Mikaela said they started working there because they loved the patties so much! 3. The Cakes -Coconut Cake: This slice was so delicious, fluffy, and airy that it instantly reminded me of being a kid at holiday family meals with a fresh coconut cake on the table. -Carrot Cake: It was everything you want a carrot cake to be. It was nice and dense yet soft, with a pleasant texture from the added fruits. Definitely noticed pineapple bits! The cream cheese frosting wasn't overly thick and was so good you could eat it completely by itself. -Strawberry Cupcakes: I stole a small bite of my son's. unfortunately, this one was my least favorite. The frosting had a little chemical taste to it but it was a super cute cupcake. To answer your question, will I return? Absolutely! If you are in the DC area or planning a trip there soon, check this spot out. It truly feels like a mom and pop or pop and pop boutique. Not a bakery but a BOUTIQUE! Check them out! Tell them Anisha from Milwaukee sent you! (Not that they'd remember it just sounds cute!)
