I like that they allow you to customize the flavors. I had a red velvet with cream cheese icing and it was so soft and melted in your mouth. They are beautifully decorated, highly recommend! The place is super cute inside. Looking forward to trying their breakfast!

This place is okay. I've had a cookie, biscuit, and cupcake from here. They're fine. Cupcakes are…read moregreat for easy-to-please kids. The browned butter chocolate chip cookie was very flat and left much to be desired. The cheddar biscuit was dry AF and lacked flavor. I do recommend buying a shirt if you are a regular. You get a free cookie/cupcake every time you visit and wear the shirt. I think I'd rather have a chocolate chip cookie from like Best Buns honestly. The employees are always nice. It's casual inside. But their baked goods are REGULAR.

In terms of drinks, I tried the lavender latte and the tiramisu latte which were delicious and served me well when I needed an evening pick-me-up. And I am pretty sure every macaroon is delicious so you really can't go wrong with the flavors you choose. On separate occasions, I ended up sampling a variety of flavors, including birthday cake, hazelnut pistachio, Earl Grey, coconut, rose, blueberry lavender, and coffee. I truly appreciated how fresh and light each taste was, perfectly reflecting the artistry in the making of these macarons. The service was efficient and friendly, and the display case was a feast for the eyes--full of stunning, mouthwatering desserts. I hope everyone has as wonderful an experience as I did, enjoying both the coffee and the patisserie. Happy desserting to all!

My review pertains to this specific location since I haven't been to other locations. I LOVED their…read moretiramisu latte and will go back every week for the latte alone. It's rich, creamy, and decadent and tastes like dessert in a cup but isn't overwhelmingly sweet. Next up are the sweet treats and pastries. They are very reasonably priced. They have two types of chocolate croissants: one with an outer chocolate coating and one pain au chocolat. Both were slightly over $3. They also have a milky bread loaf and cakes that I still need to try. The service was quick and the cafe is located in the basement level of ballston shopping center - so it's perfect for grabbing a coffee and a sweet treat before shopping. I would highly recommend this cafe.

From the beginning, their team was incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. The tasting experience was a highlight as well--everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful as we talked through options and designs! On the wedding day, the cake exceeded anything we could have imagined. The attention to detail in the decorating was stunning--truly beautiful and exactly aligned with what we had envisioned, if not better. And just as important, it tasted amazing. We're so grateful to the Heidelberg team for making such an important part of our day both stress-free and memorable. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a wedding cake that delivers on both design and flavor. Thank you to Wolfgang & team for being apart of our day!

Happy to report the taste was passed on to the baby, the almost 8 years old kid enjoys the same pastries. The breads are wonderful, especially if you appreciate dense and chewy breads. The holiday stollen is beautiful. As some other reviewers have noted, you have to enter the store to be able to understand what a massive operation it is. Something for everyone.

From what I understand, they have new owners as of early 2025. Under the previous owners, I would…read morehave given them 10 stars. All exceptional. All great value for the money. Not so much now. Now it is good but not exceptional like in the past. Their pastries are getting smaller and the prices have gone up. There is also inconsistencies in quality, with some items being slightly overcooked. Napoleons - these are about half the previous size. Still very good though. Strawberry eclair - smaller than previous. Also, the shell is consistently overcooked now. Quiches - these are around a third of the previous size. Sometimes they are overcooked and dry. Also, the mixed veggie quiche is much smaller in depth to the spinach one Various danishes (cheese, apple, cherry, sticky buns) - all around a third of their previous size. Still great quality and tasty though Sfogliatella (Italian pastry) - surprisingly, these are larger than they used to be. These are not good anymore though. The filling tastes good, but it's a weird texture now that they make it larger. The pastry shell is really hard and chewy now that they are larger. These used to be the greatest ever. It's a shame. Cannoli - tried this for the first time today. Won't ever do that again. The shell was good and crispy. The filling was a weird color and had tiny chocolate chips in it. You could tell it was several days old because the chips were soggy. Also, they filled it when we ordered it - and they just put a tiny bit of filling in it so we could actually see through the shell. Not good.

Word of advice - go to Heidelberg Pastery Shoppe instead…read more The pasteries might be good, but the store management at Randolph's is a complete disaster. We placed an order on Sunday for pickup on Thanksgiving, and when we arrived, the pick up line was wrapped around the block. Apparently, they were still baking people's orders and we were all told the wait time for pre-order pickups was at least one hour, and we had to wait outside in 40 degree weather. The workers had no idea what was going on, and the manager was silent the whole time. We also placed an order at Heidelberg on Saturday, and they had our order ready right when we arrived.

This is a fancy bakery chain in the DC area (think at least 5 locations?)…read more The selection wasn't too extensive (kinda skimpy, in fact), but some of their pastries looked amazing! However, things took a quick dive in more ways than one. For starters, they were out of plates, so we got everything handed in To-Go boxes (though we were eating in). Then the tables were a mess! I guess you basically have to bus your own tables here? Also, the seating area just wasn't very comfy...with so many tables squeezed in together. Not sure why the layout is so awkward here! Still, the pastries that we tried were really, really good! The drinks were just OK. So...definitely a mixed bag of impressions. Based on the pastries, I would rate them 5 stars...but the rest of it was just really bad. Running out of dishes and cups (??), dirty tables, bad layout, weak service (not friendly at all!), etc.etc. I guess the management was a bit slack here?? In any case, I probably will stop in again to try their pastries again. Just hope things are better next time around.

I fell in love with them while visiting BMore's Cafe Dear Leon and wanted to find a local place offering them...and Yelp led me to Roggenart Bakery. In addition to ordering a Crookie, I ordered a small beet salad, cheese Danish and a ham and cheese breakfast sandwich. I am completely hooked. Everything was so fresh and tasty and I now have a new "go to" spot for my breakfast fix. I have raved so much about Roggenart that my friends and colleagues are now ordering. The customer service is excellent. Even though I have used UE for most of my orders, my packaging is always done well. Nothing is squished or dripping. Can you imagine having beet juice everywhere?!? Also, my co-worker has visited to pick up our order and she said it's very clean and smells amazing. Don't hesitate to order. You won't regret it. Happy eating!!!!

Fantastic food, great coffee, and even better service!…read more We stopped by Roggenart European Bakery and absolutely loved it! We had the Roggenart Signature Sandwich, Chicken Red Pepper Pesto Panini, and Chicken Avocado Melt -- all super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly toasted. Our drinks -- a Caramel Vanilla Iced Latte, Vanilla Iced Latte, and Doppio Ristretto -- were spot on! Smooth, balanced, and full of great coffee flavor. Service was friendly, fast, and welcoming, and the café has that cozy European vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. Can't wait to come back and try the pastries next time!

Don't buy their CELEBRATION CAKE!!!…read more This is not a cake -- it's whipped cream with a thin suggestion of cake. For $14, this feels like a rip-off. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time we've experienced this, which makes it even more disappointing. Quality and honesty matter. If the product is mostly whipped cream, customers should be told upfront. Otherwise, it feels like taking advantage of people. We won't be coming back.

Picking up where we left off, I actually brought some back to Boston! This time, I tried some other…read moreFrench patisseries; actually, all the patisseries in the shop looked delicious... Crème Brûlée: The freshly baked caramel shell was as light and crisp as glass, with a perfectly balanced sweet and mellow flavor after the initial burnt bitterness. The filling was smooth and delicate, with a rich and intense egg and milk aroma, and a generous amount of vanilla seeds. The only downside was that the garnish fruit wasn't fresh enough; it was a bit soft, and I would have gladly thrown it away. Chocolate Macaron: The shell was also light and crisp, with a full and slightly airy filling. The chocolate flavor was rich but not too sweet. Perfect for Chinese tastes! Looking at the packaging, I learned that this business was founded in Beirut, Lebanon in 1963 and later moved to Virginia in 1993. What a legendary story! I'm very curious about what happened in between.

I also got the falafel smashburger. I felt there was a lot of bun compared to the filling. The food menu was extensive and seem to switch up often so I'll try something else the next time I go but think I'll stick with the pistacchio latte. Space overall was very nice but fills up fast. Would be a nice place to catch up with friends. Street parking is probably the better option rather than trying to find parking in front of the shop as it is very limited

I went to Detour Coffee Co. and thought it was a good coffee shop overall…read more The coffee and matcha were both okay, nothing amazing, but definitely solid. It's the kind of place where you can reliably grab a drink and hang out for a bit. There weren't a ton of super comfortable seats, which is something to keep in mind if you're planning to stay a long time. That said, you could still go there to get some work done or catch up with friends. It has a nice, easygoing vibe that works well for both. Overall, it's a solid spot, probably one of the better coffee shops in Arlington, just not somewhere I'd call exceptional.
