We will definitely be back there for ice cream I'd like to try the Matcha drinks that they have. It's a sweet place with tables inside and chairs outside.

Unfortunately, I was less than impressed with most of the pastries that we got. The cream in the pastries themselves was a good and had a nice fluffy texture.

It was getting close to their closing so we popped in before we had our late lunch. I'd heard about their famous croissants and breakfast items but they were gone. They did have a nice selection of cookies and desserts. What caught our eye was the bread! Just a f ew items left so we snagged a regular sourdough. 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.

Apparently it's popular, so you either need to go early or luck out. The cream puffs and cookies are great, but I finally got a kouign amann. It's a lovely pastry. 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.

TZone Dessert Bar - Send Help, I'm Addicted…read more Okay, pause whatever diet you're on -- you need to get yourself to TZone Dessert Bar immediately, if not sooner. I came here just to "try something light"... and walked out questioning why I haven't made shaved ice my entire personality. Let's talk about the Mango Bingsu first. This isn't just a dessert -- it's a spiritual experience. It's like mango heaven fell from the sky and landed gently in a bowl, only to be drizzled with caramel, topped with crunchy wafers, chewy jelly, and soft little mochi pillows. Every bite is a flavor explosion. I think I may have blacked out for a moment. Then there's the TZone Cocktail. Don't let the word "cocktail" fool you -- this thing is a full-on dessert parade. Layers of strawberry and mango ice cream, floating in a pool of juice, fruit, jelly, and mochi like it's a spa day for your taste buds. It's like a smoothie and a sundae had a baby... and that baby was glorious. I was halfway through before I realized I was humming and smiling like a cartoon character. People stared. I didn't care. Pro tip: * Bring a friend so you can pretend you're "sharing." * Sit down and commit. These are not "on-the-go" desserts unless you want to wear them. * Don't trust yourself to order just one thing. You'll want two. Possibly four. TZone is dangerous in the best way. If you love fruity, icy, chewy, creamy, crunchy, and joy -- this is your place. 10/10, would happily risk brain freeze and sugar overload again. See you next weekend.

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!

Molt'n Cookies is a made to order cookie business inside Eataliano in Broadlands. There is no sign…read morefor Moltn, but it is inside the Eataliano. There's plenty of free parking in the lot in the complex. The ambiance inside is very casual and doubles as the storefront for the restaurant. You can order on the kiosk and pick from either regular or specialty cookies. The flavors were unique but they were kind of expensive for the quality ($5.49/cookie). We ended up waiting like 15 minutes for our cookies since they baked them, but they got our order wrong and got us the right one for free. The cookies, in general, were both burnt but also underbaked. Also, we didn't get them in the moltn brand cardboard boxes, but in styrofoam boxes instead. The peanut butter cookie had a good flavor, but the red velvet and s'mores were average. I probably would only try this once if you're craving a big cookie with a unique flavor if it's the only place open in the area.

I've been maybe 3-4 times and so far it's been a super chill cafe experience here. Beignets and dipping sauces, along with some drink options, are more than enough for me. I will say they're a little denser than say Cafe Du Monde in NOLA, but overall feel pretty representative. Maybe timing when you go is super important. I've only gone early-mid mornings on the weekend and everything I've had tasted super fresh, but some of the other experiences I'm reading feel like what happens when I reheat some older ones I kept in the fridge. Definitely gotta try them while they're hot!

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! Let's keep our small businesses that pour love into their craft alive !!

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!

Chocolate mania!!! I…read morecan't believe I'd never heard of this place before. A bar/restaurant with a chocolate theme? Yes please! I wasn't ready for a full meal but a spot at the bar opened so I was hooked. A menu unveiled itself and I was entranced. The entire dishes looked great - if a bit pricey. But not what I wanted at the moment, so pass. But there were plenty of small dishes so went with the pork buns. Those things were small but packed with flavor. The bartender suggested a fork and knife were appropriate since it was so delicate and he was right. But the cocktails!!! Dessert goodness in a glass. I went for the mustachio which was packed with chocolate goodness. Darn that was amazing. Extra props for the great service and suggestions. The lady next to me suggested I try their cocktail class sometime.

No thank you. Completely over priced for what you get. Owner was very rude, snobby, and elitist.read more

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! The presentation was beautiful. It looked like a piece of art and the flakiness of the pastry combined with a hot tea was transformative! If you haven't been to this location, it is absolutely worth your visit. Beware to anybody indecisive because there are truly so many options to choose from!
