    6" Round Chocolate Cake with Cookies & Cream/Oreo Buttercream
    Marissa C.

    What a great experience! I wanted to surprise my husband with a birthday Cake while traveling to Herndon for the holidays with his family, and Alicia DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The cake could not have been more PERFECT AND DELICIOUS!!! Alicia was so gracious to squeeze in my order and I couldn't have been more thrilled with our cake as a result. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a custom cake

    The cake was delicious. Every bite was moist and flavorful. The attention to detail from Elevation Cakes is 2nd to none. Our family has a new favorite bakery. We love celebrating birthdays with custom cakes and looking forward to our next experience!

    Found this bakery in IG & decided to book her for my daughters 8th birthday. Alicia absolutely did not disappoint!! I gave her minimum instruction & she went above my expectations!! The cake & Oreos weren't only BEAUTIFUL but also DELICIOUS!!! My daughter was absolutely in love with everything!!! We'll absolutely be using her again!!!

    If you need someone to make you a moist and yummy cake with beautiful decorations Elevation Cakes is what you need! I submitted an online request with what I needed and date desired and Alicia contacted me in less than an hour! She was very professional and what I loved was that it was so easy to order all i did was send her a picture she gave me a price, I paid and done. The picture I sent her and the cake she made was an exact replica she didn't miss a single detail!! My daughter absolutely loved her cake and all my guests kept talking about how beautiful it was. So happy I found Alicia, will be getting all my future cakes from Elevations! Highly recommend!!

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!

The Brownie double chocolate cookie is hands-down my favorite and tastes like a fudgy brownie. The dark chocolate chips just melt! The Classic Chocolate Chip cookie was a bit too sweet and tastes like a sugar cookie with chocolate chips. I wasn't a fan of the Cookies and Cream Oreo cookie. The Cina-Cookie tastes like a buttery Snickerdoodle cookie with cream cheese filling. The Birthday Bash cookie was fun to try, but quite sweet and loaded with sugar. Highly recommend warming up the cookies in the microwave for 20-30 sec, they soften up and taste like they were just baked with that delicious ooey gooey texture. The chocolate chips just melt in your mouth! If you get delivery, the cookies are stone cold. Delivery takes 2-3 days after placing an order, even local shipping takes a full day. While it was fun to try the 4 pack of cookies with delivery, it was just too much and I was on a serious sugar overload. It would be nice to have an option to only get a set of 2 cookies with delivery. The cookies just don't taste as good cold even with reheating and it's better just to get the cookies at the shop. Will stop by for the Chocoholic double chocolate when I'm in the area. Happy to support this small NOVA business!

    PLEASE NOTE: This was for nationwide shipping…read more It had been a while since I had ordered from MidnighTreats, but after a 36 hour snowstorm the winter blues had officially settled into my soul and I needed a little pick-me-up. Important reminders: each MidnighTreats cookie weighs over 1/3 pound! They're enormous, and for sure big enough to split (... to share, sure, or just to enjoy yourself later; they even recommend cutting them in half before freezing them [if they last that long]). PRO TIP: you *have* to reheat them before eating them (otherwise the flavor/taste/texture just isn't the same). Build your own box for currently $30 ($20 plus $10ish for shipping), and some of the flavors change each month. We've tried... + Birthday Bash (funfetti rainbow sprinkles cookie): personally, I like the nostalgic flavor of generic "birthday cake" that's recently become a thing, and I think they do a fantastic job capturing it! + Strawberry Shortcake (shortcake cookie smothered in strawberry icing): This was the taste of summer I needed. So bright! Just the right amount of sweet! And they definitely didn't hold back on the icing! +/- The Classic (a blend of dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips): compared to other vegan chocolate chip cookies that can be shipped to your home, this one's actually one of the better ones! +/- The Chocoholic (fudgy double chocolate chip cookie): you have to REALLY, REALLY like/be craving chocolate for this one. - Cookies N Cream (oreo bits with chocolate chips and vanilla chips): this one was just okay, and I take the blame for missing that it contained white chocolate chips which I am not a fan of. It says they're vanilla, but that's not what they taste like to me. - The Cinna-Roll: I believe the recipe for this one has changed over the years, because it used to be a cinnamon roll flavored cookie with cream in the center (and there was *barely* any of it, making it a very dry, very boring cookie). It seems it's now a cinnamon roll cookie smothered in vanilla icing, so I just wanted to make sure I had corrected info here. Other things of note: they've donated thousands of dollars to animal sanctuaries across the country! they've planted close to 20K trees with reforestation projects! they've donated thousands to local schools and shelters in their NOVA community! How can you not love a company who's built in giving back to their community in their core principles?!

It's even smaller, and in a tiny random, not where you would expect to find bakery! It has a tiny display of fresh pastries, shelf full of fresh baked breads and freezer full of more breads! Service is great, always with a smile. We tried a little bit of everything and ended up going back a couple of days later for some fresh bread. Finding good, like good gf bread is really hard. Most times literally hard. Got the brioche buns and was impressed for gf buns! Yes they still fell apart. Yes they weren't as soft as traditional brioche, but they were good for gf buns. I love their ham and cheese croissant. It's greasy, I prefer it cold, my kid only likes it warmed up. Donut is by far the best gf cake style donut we've ever had. It's light, flavor is incredible, moist. I typically skip gf cake donuts, but this one was calling to me, so happy we got it. Cinnamon roll was not good. Frosting had zero sugar. It was hard as a rock, so no one wanted to eat it. But as most gf cinnamon rolls, you have to eat them within a few hours, so this one could have just been too old. There's a decent amount of gluten free bakeries scattered across the DMV area, but this is by far the best for bread! The best variety, fresh and frozen. If they sell out of something you can count on they'll have a back up of something similar. Also. surprised to see complaining about prices..... I actually think they aee cheap for gluten free items!

    An all-you-can-eat sushi buffet inside a mall is probably not the first place you'd look for good…read morefood, but since we had a huge party, we wanted a place that had plenty of options, and we were satisfied with Sushi King at Dulles Town Center. First, be careful because there are two AYCE options, and the one with crab legs is much more expensive than the one without - be specific about which one you're getting. The drinks are generous, the food is good, and in addition to the options at the buffet are table options, with various rolls and appetizers like the Jalapeno Yellowtail (my favorite) and the Black Pepper Tuna Tataki - order these and they'll bring them out to your table. We also ordered several rolls and they came out together on a huge boat. There are also cooked options for the kids. Overall, a decent sushi venture with plenty of options. Thumbs up!

    We came here for dinner on a Friday at 7:45pm. It was mine and my partner's way of honoring my dad…read moreand my grandmother's memory - they both LOVED buffets. It wasn't super crowded, but there was a good amount of people that were there. Great sign. Ambiance is chill and relaxed. We've been here twice before and we knew exactly what to get and how to order for the best bang for buck under the deluxe option: - small serving of soup and plate from the buffet (choose only small bites you want to try and know you can finish) -- we loved the orange chicken and the miso soup; galbi could be seasoned better. They also have "kid" buffet options: chicken nuggets, fries, and pizza. My partner has a sweet spot for kid food at buffets so he enjoyed the pizza - LARGE serving of sashimi: we did 8 pieces each of salmon, tuna, white tuna, and red clam; 4 pieces of eel and tofu skin; 2 pieces of shrimp. SUPER cool and fresh; hits the seafood craving spot so nicely - plate of oysters from the cold bar - we did about a dozen; most were sweet but the one I ended on was briny - some people like briny but it isn't my thing - no sushi for us. Rice fills you up so fast. ("Gotta make my money worth" in Steven He voice) - NEW: we opted for the special appetizers: one salmon wrap and one house special beef soba noodle bowl per person. Beef soba soup was somewhat spicy and tasted as if a bowl of pho and a bowl of ramen had a baby. Amazing. The Kani wrapped in salmon doused in yuzu sauce with tobiko and chopped scallions was DELICIOUS. Order this and you won't need a tartare appetizer. - no "boba tea" it doesn't look appetizing tbh. My partner got a peach jasmine tea and regretted it - too artificially sweetened - don't forget the crab legs! They're such a large serving, keep that in mind. But the amount of work makes you hungry and makes you crave that "reward"; comes with melted butter but you don't really need it as it isn't that great and the crab legs are tasty enough - NEW: soda is on the house now! We got a Diet Pepsi -- washes down everything so nicely - always end on ice cream-- we love the mini Helados de Mexico - puddings are hit or miss. We loved the ube pudding; the honeydew tasted too artificial and left a chemical aftertaste We came home feeling so satisfied. And the fact that all of the above was $93 before tip was amazing. Go anywhere else and that's a $200+ meal. Our server Evy was attentive and friendly. Great service, amazing food. Will always choose and recommend Sushi King for our AYCE sashimi and crab leg fix.
