We especially liked the edamame hummus! The curly fries were the only thing that was just OK. I also got a specialty coffee that was delish! Next time, I want to try a slice of cake. Service: Order at the counter and you bring it to your table. There is a countertop bar, too. It's a casual atmosphere that's clean and modern. Definitely recommend Any Day Now.

I love that they have a happy hour. Why not get some work done and then reward yourself with a nice cocktail after? Unfortunately I feel like the food leaves some things to be desired. The scallion pancake sandwiches are good in terms of flavor, but I find that the really crispy pancake it comes on makes it difficult (and messy) to eat. The ube cake slice I ordered needed more flavor, in both the cake and the frosting, and the cake was on the dry side. This was a disappointment since one slice was $9. I will definitely return but I'll be particular about what I order.

I would say personally that it's the best thing that they make.

As for the drinks, the Iced coffee was not good and the Korean Ice Milk Coffee was also not good. Both drinks were extremely watered down and didn't taste right like other locations. The breads were decent. Nothing much to say as this is standard. I ordered a slice of cake and it was beyond sweet and dry. I'm not sure if I received day old cake but it was a waste of money. Would not recommend coming here unless you really need a quick bite.

We needed a quick and easy meal in this part of Alexandria before heading to a convention nearby,…read moreand Paris Baguette was the perfect convenient option. And yes, they have more than just pastries and cakes! Their fridge section is stocked with different subs and sandwiches, with an option to have them reheated. HAM & CHEESE BAGUETTE - 12 It was 1:20 PM, rainy, and I hadn't eaten all day. A toasted sandwich meant the world to me. The deli meat was warm, the cheese was melty and gooey, and the baguette was soft and chewy. I finished that sandwich pretty quickly. The interior is spacious with cafeteria-style seating. It's a bit pricy for a pre-made sandwich that tasted fairly commercialized and heavily processed, but other than that, it was a pretty solid and convenient meal.

Nice boutique cafe with a galore of croissants, donuts, cookies with some seasonal/weekly specials…read more I've made my rounds through the menu and ate more pastries than I can count! The seasonal Donuts and the Croissant Tarts keep me coming back! Best Donuts - Pumpkin Pie Donut, Tiramisu Donut, Key Lime Pie, Boston Cream, and Hot Cocoa Nutella donut. The Strawberry and Raspberry have a Jelly/Jam filling. I wasn't a big fan of the Cookie Butter Donut, Cannoli donut, or the Dot Cake Donut, or S'mores donut. The Cookie Butter donut tasted like creamy peanut butter while the Cannoli donut that didn't have the sweet creamy filling that I was hoping for and the Funfetti frosting was a bit off on the Dot Cake Donut (super fun to see all the dot sprinkles on top!). I wish there was more marshmallow filling in the S'mores onut. Croissant Tarts - Both the sweet and savory tarts deliver! The Raspberry Cream Cheese Tart, Red Pepper Feta Tart, Apple Tart, and Everything Tart are all delicious! The classic Garlic Spinach Tart and Shroom Tart are fine. Best Croissants - Christmas Tree Raspberry Croissant, Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Croissant, Apple Butter Crumble Croissant, Almond Croissant, and Matcha Croissant. The Berry Brioche Tart was fun to try, but not my favorite. The cookies are pretty light and fluffy, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie tasted like a lemon sugar cookie with no filling. The Kitchen Sink cookie was an interesting blend of salty flavors (chips, pretzels, toffee). For Valentine's Day, the Linzer sugar cookie filled with raspberry jam was delicious! So glad I grabbed the last one by 11am on Saturday! For Mother's Day, there were colorful macaroons. All of the fillings with the donuts and croissants are whipped and pretty light. There's a parking garage next door and you can get parking validated for 1 hour. While there's plenty of seating inside, it can get packed over the weekends. There's no outdoor seating (there's some makeshift seating around the high-rise building). Great local bakery with a lot of baked goodies to choose from!

Then, you feast your eyes on the cases of croissants, sandwiches, and a variety of delicious tarts and pastries. Thank you, Larsa for your excellent service. She was so patient with me, as I made up my mind. I bought an almond croissant and a moulan pastry. They were both fabulous. The almond croissant was light and flaky with a delicious filling. The moulane pastry had coconut cream, mango filling, and layers of heavenly goodness. I just wanted to savor the taste. It was craveable. My last review was 3 years ago when they opened. I am so glad to see the same quality and love baked into each of their desserts.

It was slightly busy but the line moved fairly quickly. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and a lot of people dining in were simply enjoying their weekend. Unfortunately I had to work so everything was to go for me. I would love to have the opportunity to just dine in one day. I also want to try their Virginia location since that recently opened as well. I'm also still waiting on their rainbow/chantilly filled croissant because it had to be the best pastry I've ever eaten. Would happily return here. Wish they had a punch card for their regular customers.

The Blackberry Pistachio Croissant was flaky and full of a sweet-tart house made blackberry compote and rich pistachio frangipane. For the hot tea, I got Island Mango just on the description - sweet bits of mango, pineapple, orange, safflower & hibiscus. It was served as decaf. Once I let it cool, it had a citrus taste, but not sweet. I am still glad to have tried it and did not have to wait long for the order. Within a block of leaving the business, while holding the hot cup with one hand (the sleeve only helped a little), some of the hot tea spilled on me suddenly (I now have a burned scar on my knuckle). I don't know if the cover was on right, or if my movements made the top come off. I couldn't blame anyone. I did go back and had them replace the top since the other fell on the ground outside. When they say "hot" tea, they are not lying. Moving forward, no more hot drinks for me.

This is truly some of the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Rich, smooth, comforting, and absolutely worth returning for. Somehow I missed writing a review last year, so I had to come back and kiss and make up properly. L.A. Burdick is one of those places you do not fumble. The chocolate is the star, the vibe is cozy, and the whole experience feels like a little luxury moment tucked into the day. Do yourself a favor and get the hot chocolate. Then apologize to every other cup you've ever had.

I spent ~6 months peeking at Gaby's Flan Cake instagram page and salivating, wondering how flan…read morecake could look so scrumptious for homemade. I saved my first time trying Gaby's creations for my birthday, and wow, I wasn't disappointed; I want Gaby's flan cake as my signature birthday cake every year! No party nor event where I bring Gaby's flan cake to does it not take the cake. There just is no substitution --just a moist and delicious cake with indulgent, creamy flan. My family & I love dulce de leche the most but close second is... everything else . I proudly declare to be a repeat offender of ordering a flan cake, just to create a social gathering, just to have this as dessert. Stick a candle in it or serve it with after-dinner coffee, you neeeeed this. Gaby won't sell out but she does book up quickly, so if you're looking for a special dessert to wrap up a holiday party with, screenshot her menu, save it in your phone, and send her a message!

The flavors in the cupids mini half dozen were: Dulce De Leche, Tres Leches, Oreo cookie and the original flan cake. The flan was delicious! Not too sweet with just the right amount of sugar. The cake section is just as delicious as the flan. You can tell these cakes are made fresh as the cake is soft and blends beautifully with the flan. I had several flan cakes where the flan section was too sweet and the cake section was awfully hard. This was not the case with FlanCake by Gaby. These flan cakes are perfect! I have to write about the service I received as well. They went above and beyond for my order. In the note section, I mentioned it was for a birthday and they were so sweet to add a Happy birthday cake topper, along with a happy birthday card! When I mentioned to my sister that it was something the company did, my sister felt loved. ​ The website to place the order was simple too. Instructions are explained thoroughly. Delivery options are available.I will be using them again in the future.
