    DEFINITELY TRY OUT THIS LOCAL HIDDEN GEM! Solid sno ball place, I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time. After trying it, I prefer these flavors over traditional American ones. I would definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried a Louisiana Sno Ball or if you just want a good sweet treat during the summer! Tips: -They may close early.. no website so it's a hidden gem (Come before 7 PM) -Try unique flavors like Wedding Cake, it's a Louisiana classic! -There's always a flavor combo everyday!

    The shaved ice here is so good. I love that they use fresh fruits in their syrups. I have been looking for a shaved ice place just like my favorite place in Hawaii and they did not disappoint at all. Great value and friendly service.

    Two smalls - coconut lime (l) and cherry (r).

    What it lacks in curb appeal, being this little truck in a gas station parking lot at Franconia Road and Grovedale Drive by the DMV, it more than makes up for by being a tasty value. It's not snow cones but more sorta flavored snowy slush you eat with a spoon - wet snow rather than icy crunch. Fairly deep menu of mostly fruit flavors. I got coconut lime, Ladyfriend got cherry. Both had a lot of flavor. I especially liked the refreshing tartness of the lime. A $4 small is perfect; 50 cents more and the $4.50 medium looks like a hefty portion. Service was jackrabbit quick and perfectly good. Definitely going back.

    This guy turns away three customers so he can go outside and spit tobacco. Really?

    These cookies are delicious. I'm still very much in awe that they are vegan! They are priced beyond…read morefair. The inside of shop is pretty basic. But none of that matters with cookies so good! Lastly, they keep the cookies warm so that's a HUGE PLUS! This review is more specifically to recognize the customer service of Eli. He was very helpful in helping me choose my selection. He was very patient with me. And his friendly service should be recognized! Thank you Eli. I'll be back to try one of the beverages soon!

    If you're a true sweets lover, Midnightreats is absolutely worth the stop…read more These are not your light, airy, grab-and-go cookies. They are thick, dense, warm, and very indulgent. The kind where one cookie can easily be shared (or not lol ). They're rich and sweet, so if you're someone who loves a heavy dessert that feels like a treat-treat, you'll be in heaven. Easily a 10/10 for that category. What really stood out to me was the variety of flavors. I tried the strawberry matcha cookie and was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It had a really nice balance of flavors and didn't feel gimmicky at all. It's always a risk trying something a little different, but this one definitely paid off. Another thing I appreciated was that they had a section of cookies discounted because they were made the night before. I love when places do this...it's a great way to try more flavors without spending a lot, and honestly, the cookies were still really good. Service-wise, the cashier was super helpful and patient, especially when it came to explaining flavors and giving recommendations. That always makes a difference when you're staring at a case full of options and can't decide.

The bathroom is clean and passcode-protected. The aesthetic is pretty and elegant. The man behind the counter was polite and patient, answering a couple of silly questions for me with a smile. They were out of most of their sandwiches when I happened to pop in, but despite settling for my 3rd choice on the menu, it was still a tasty, satisfying lunch. I am not close enough to visit frequently, but I would certainly come back here with friends.

    Pink | In & Out | Latte Variety…read more Pink: If you love a vibrant aesthetic, this spot delivers -- it's very pink. The decor leans heavily into a Gen Z and Gen Alpha vibe, complete with numerous photo opportunities for your social media feed. Think neon signs, floral walls, and playful details like the swing chairs that feel straight out of Ce-La-Vi in Dubai. It's definitely a "sceney" spot, but done with charm -- more fun than pretentious. Whether you're meeting a friend or just stopping in for a pick-me-up, the space makes a strong first impression. In & Out: This is very much a grab-and-go café. There's a small seating area if you want to stay for a quick chat, but it's tight and not built for long visits. Still, the location is great -- perfect for picking up your drink and strolling around the area. It's ideal for a quick coffee run or a midday break rather than a full sit-down experience. Latte Variety: The drink menu is impressive, featuring one of the most extensive selections of flavored lattes and hot drinks available. From creative takes on classics to seasonal specialties, they've got everything: lattes, teas, and even rich hot chocolate options. It's a dream for anyone who loves exploring different flavor combinations -- or wants a cozy drink done right. Pro Tip: - Take off your polarized sunglasses when ordering -- the menu screens are impossible to read through them (learned that one the hard way). - Great spot for photos, a quick caffeine fix, and people-watching.

    Dolce & Bean focuses on chocolates, macarons, gelato and a few other dessert items…read more We were greeted warmly by a kind gentleman. After taking a look at the candy, gelato and desserts, we settled on key lime pie. The key lime pie was pretty good, though it was perhaps a little too sweet and the filling rather dry. Because we were first time customers, the shopkeeper offered us each a piece of complimentary candy. The candy had a shell filled with a confection containing Japanese citrus yuzu fruit. The shell was coated with dark chocolate. I'm just going to say this was the tastiest, most delightful candy I've ever sampled. Dolce & Bean also sells attractively designed packages of candies. These would make good gifts. We absolutely will be back for more candy and want to try the gelato. One minor thing is that the shop was chilly and I had to put my hoodie on. But heck, aren't most restaurants and stores around the DMV freezing cold in the summer?

    Such a sweet and quaint chocolate and coffee shop. Stopped in sort of by accident, and am so happy…read moreI did! Definitely a "mom and pop" shop which makes it feel warm and cozy. I have a suspicion the owner is the one who took our order and served us. He also gives out free samples of chocolate if you're a first time customer - which of course made me want more! I'd definitely return to support this small (and delicious) small business. Oh & I got a green tea macaron - yum!
