I wasn't completely sure I could serve myself and checked with an employee who was restocking the goods - she was friendly and helpful! Everything has labels of when it was baked and when it will be discarded. The restaurant itself was clean but the seats could use a good cleaning. Overall, it was great!

10.9.26 I stopped by…read moreTLJ to have breakfast with my hubby and pick up a few goodies for my colleagues. Hubby ordered the pizza baguette, mocha coffee, and custard cream soboro. I ordered the red bean donut and milk cream red bean bread. I enjoyed my treats, although I thought my bread had too much cream in it and had to scoop some out. I did like that the cream was light and airy. Hubby enjoyed his food as well, although he isn't a huge fan of onions, which were on the pizza baguette. For my colleagues, I ordered a small cappuccino, a slice of chocolate cloud cake, and a chocolate tart with blueberry to go. I asked if I could place the cappuccino order with the rest of my order but have it prepared in 5-10 minutes so it wouldn't get cold. Initially, the staff member taking my order said I should place the cappuccino order separately. I didn't want to do that since it would mean having to wait in line again. I didn't think my request was unreasonable, so I wasn't sure why there was some pushback. After a minute, she agreed to place the entire order together and gave me a buzzer to let me know when everything was ready for pickup. Unlike the Columbia location, this location doesn't have an open layout. However, I do prefer the exterior of this location because it's more eye-catching and attention-grabbing. I love TLJ and would definitely return for more of their tasty treats!

The mango lava cake was delish. Super light, fresh, and not overly sweet. I also loved the milk tea…read morewith panna cotta. The silky pudding texture in the milk tea is SO good and makes the whole drink even better. Portuguese egg tart was a little too eggy and buttery for me. Felt really heavy - wish it was a bit more caramelized or custardy. Seems really popular though, everyone who came into the shop left with some egg tarts lol. The interior only has very few tables and seats, so it's not really the kind of place I'd sit and hang out for a while. I think most people just grab their desserts to go. There's also a parking lot in the back with plenty of spots, which is nice. My only con is their hours and availability. I went around 2 p.m. (they open at noon), and they only had three desserts available from their whole menu. I was looking forward to getting a whole haul, so that was kind of a bummer. I've also heard they sell out pretty early, so it's hard to plan what you'll actually be able to try. Definitely go earlier or message them if there's something specific you're hoping to get. Would be nice if they can release a menu online too or post on their social media what the menu of the day is...

Stumbled on this place in a walk around kentlands. This place is so cute! We ordered a HK milk tea…read morewhich was in an adorable rectangular container. Tastes pretty authentic!

7.11.25 I had a…read moreGroupon offer so decided to stop in before it expired. They open at 11 AM, however, when I arrived, the doors were locked. At 11:07, I looked into the store and saw movement although the lights were still turned off. The staff member saw me and came to the door. She informed me that they had a last-minute catering request and she needed about 15 minutes before opening the door. She said that if I could come back in 15 minutes that she would offer me a discount. When I returned 15 minutes later, I told her I wanted to order a cinnamon roll. She said that I didn't have to wait earlier if I was just ordering a cinnamon roll. However, she did not ask what I was ordering during our earlier interaction. So that means that I waited for nothing. At the very least, she should have apologized for the inconvenience that I experienced and since I used the Groupon offer, I was not offered anything for waiting. Also, if there is a last-minute catering request, that should not affect the opening of the store. I was disappointed with the service that I received. The only redemption was that the cinnamon roll was really good. I ordered a customized roll with cream cheese, coconut, caramel sauce, Oreo, and pie crumble. It was divine and worth every calorie.

Hey friends! I worked an event at Kentlands so I decided to stop by for a sweet treat. Last time I…read morehad it was years ago and it was amazing, so I was super excited to come back. Of course, it smelled amazing when I walked in. I ordered an Old Skool Roll($7). It was soooo good. It was the perfect texture and perfect amount of sweet. All ingredients were fresh and made a noticeable difference in the taste. It was gone in seconds lol, I ate it so quickly. Customer service was very friendly. Interior is cute and was decorated festively for Christmas. There's a few tables away for dine-in. I'll be in area more often now so I'll be back soon! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

Wow! We loved it…read more Everything we got was really good. We like to pick out 4-5 things and then taste them and take them to go. Here, we got a few items, sat down and after we tasted them, got another 4 things and tasted those and wanted to get more. We didn't because that would be too much sugar (but nothing was overly sweet of course). I can't believe that it took me years to step in here. I've been sleeping on one of the best Asian bakeries . Don't hesitate to stop in and just try a few things. I can't imagine it being disappointing! Like other yelpers have said- they will come from VA to get their fix. That's no small compliment.... It's not easy to get here from VA... people from DC don't want to make the hike up! But if you pair a stop here with the Vietnamese Ba Le or Thai place Kimm In... pretty good! The Indian place and Vietnamese cafe in this plaza also look decent! The bakery is well ACed in the heat and it's clean and cute... not a huge bakery but it was really quite nice. Can't wait to come back!

Most people, especially on weekends and days off, have time to go out and shop--but you close quite early, which limits that opportunity. These kinds of hours don't make much sense for a popular bakery. It feels more like an office schedule than a customer-focused business. If you had more flexible hours, more people would be able to enjoy the quality you offer.

This is a one of a kind cafe. I am not the type to snap pictures of food, but I have to every time…read moreI come here. Everything is so cute and well presented and delicious. The food is made fresh. I know they are known for their souffle pancakes and desserts, but the dinner menu is also delicious. I have had the katsu sandwich and the curry. The sandwich was moist, hot, and had a great texture and flavor. The sauce they use also compliments the meat. The curry is a classic curry. The souffle pancakes are such a treat!! I have had the ube and strawberry flavor. I recommend the strawberry. The ube is good, but the icing on it can get a little overwhelming due to the sheer amount you get and I ended up scraping half of it off. Due to the way they are made to maintain the size and texture, they do have an eggier taste than normal pancakes. I personally enjoy it, but just fair warning if you are particularly sensitive to the taste of eggs. But, they do advertise it as a souffle pancake, so the egg taste is not surprising! This place is always busy and everything is made fresh. It is not fast food! Be prepared for around a 20-minute wait. There is an anime store to browse in the front, but that would be a little hard to do while waiting for your food because securing a seat is a bit of a rat race if you are alone. If you come in a group, have somebody secure a seat first.
