The Lemon Bar was flavorful mix of sweet, tangy, and tart. I wish there was a bit more raspberry jam filling in the Linzer cookie, it was a bit dry. Stop by to grab a slice or two!

Staff was friendly and offered to slice our fresh sourdough bread. It felt so fresh just squeezing it through the bag. They are a small bakery with lots of parking out front. They also sell fresh croutons and other bagged bread.

The sugar/thin layer of caramel on the top is substantial without being too thick. Just enough to hold and break apart. The laminated dough is nice as well. Not overly buttery, but still light and fluffy.

They have a perfect outdoor set up with lots of chairs, umbrellas, and a tucked away spot away from the main road. They seem to get long lines because with more than about 3 or 4 people in line it starts to get crowded inside. They even have a sign saying sometimes the line is out the door and wait times vary. I was very happy with my breakfast bowl. It had so many flavors packed into one bowl and so balanced with textures, flavors, sauciness. The orange chocolate scone was really good too! Wasn't dry at all which I find most scones are. The pumpkin muffin was a little dry and the pizza was straight up just not good. My pizza loving, non-pizza-discriminating son couldn't eat it. My latte was also just standard. I'm glad I stopped in, but now I feel like I know what I'd order next time.

The cortado I got was okay. It's not something I'd drive to Leesburg for. My friend said the matcha latte is good. The breakfast other people were having looked great. Parking wasn't easy.

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.

Such a nice place and relaxed. The Flight was awesome - all 3 gravies tasted Phenomenal. Time to go and had about 1/2 our sandwiches and part of biscuits leftover. Asked for ONE box to put all in and she took our sandwiches away. We figured she wrap up for us (not preferred but some places are like that). Then she brought 1 small box back for our Biscuits. When we asked about the other leftovers she said they don't normally wrap up leftovers. Huh !?! She didn't apologize and made us feel very awkward. She did bring out a piece of Sausage and Chicken though. Rolling her eyes and stating "well at least you got a sausage and chicken on the house". Totally opposite attitude from the beginning of our meal. Not sure what we did but soured our 1st time there. We wanted to try the cookies but felt like leaving, especially after she made us feel like we did something wrong. Which was NOT the case. Maybe something happened elsewhere that threw her off.

However, the waitress walked up to our table sniffling and wiping her nose. The last thing you want to see is a sick server helping you. And I don't know if it's because she was a little sick but she was not friendly. I asked my companion if he thought she seemed unfriendly and he agreed. And although our food came out looking really good, we chatted about how our dishes tasted, and both of us were kind of lukewarm about them. It felt like each dish was relying too much on what went on the biscuit for flavor and the biscuit itself was bland. That was really surprising since that's the entire theme of the restaurant. I don't know if it was an off day and they forgot to add salt or something, but even the leftover biscuit that I had the next day was bland after the second try with it. A colleague had actually recommended this spot to me so I was overall surprised by our visit. I'm not sure if we'd give it another try.
