I've driven past this place for quite some time, but decided to stop by and pick up a few treats for myself and friends. The savory and sweet breads were nicely, individually wrapped and with nice descriptive labels telling you what it was and what it contained. Other places just have the name and they assume you know what it is. Since the labels were descriptive, I actually tried more items. Service was quite polite and nice. I will come back. I'm all about these local coffee/tea shops. I prefer these over starbucks. read more

Bingsoo! Great spot to quench your desire for Korean bakery bread items and a little hint of dessert. Underated here is their sandwich deals. It's quite a lot of food for just 8ish bucks. I got the Korean beef sandwich with fries and it was so much food that you could share it with another person. The mango bingsoo is a must! It has actual mango pieces with mango ice cream on top of little frosted corn flakes and condense milk. You would think it'd be too sweet, but actually when you roll it in the shaved ice, it's the perfect amount. They also have a decent amount of drinks you can choose from if the sandwich and the dessert isn't your vibe. Awesome space to also study as there are plenty of small tables for the perfect cafe style and not too loud. Rare thing is it's also is that it's a cafe that is open late (usually 10PM). Definitely will stop by again. May have already came here twice in the span of a week. read more

I like how this place is open late. I'm actually shocked at how busy it was at 10 pm. People were playing boards games and some were studying or working. This atmosphere seems like a late night spot to hang with friends. We wanted some bingsoo so we got the green tea bingsoo. It's good but it gets heavy after a while so you gotta down it with water. I would like more condensed milk or if they can add that extra. I think I would have tried the mango bingsoo next time since that's seem more summery and light. There were plenty of seating. I just don't like how dark it is. read more

Manoa Bakery Cafe - Green Tea Bingsoo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Been craving bingsoo for awhile and figured to swing by since I was in the neighborhood. Got there around 7PM on a Saturday night and was able to order immediately. I went with a small mango bingsoo and to my surprise, they add an assortment of toppings included in the base price. There were mango bite side pieces, mochi, crunchy cereal (along the lines of frosted flakes) and topped with mango ice cream. Upon my first bite, I was in awe by the variety of textures from the toppings. As I took additional bites, this awe faded as there was too much going on texture wise and not enough balance to enjoy the bingsoo. Flavor wise, it was good especially when combo-ed with the ice cream but it became clear mid way through that the bingsoo was not the star of the show but moreso the overwhelming amount of toppings. It didn't help that the ratio of bingsoo to toppings was off so around midway point, you're left with a bunch of toppings (with the cereal being the biggest detriment) and little to no shaved ice. Besides bingsoo, they also have a bunch of bakery items and drinks. Lots of seating available if you wanted a place to hang out with friends or get some productivity done. Really wanted to love the bingsoo and as much as I commend the unique-ness of toppings and the actual taste of the shaved ice, the overall product was just average for me. read more

This post is for my friend who wishes for more people to go to this bakery in Annandale. It's our favorite bingsoo place in the area because the ice is shaved to snow consistency rather than the snowcone style ice. We got the soybean at the medium size and it was delicious. There's 3 sizes you can choose from and a good variety of flavors on top of the range of bakery goods. If people ask for a dessert or bingsoo place in the DMV, this is where I recommend for them to go. read more

Korean bakery & cafe with a wide selection of baked goods, drinks, hot food, and bingsoo (a Korean shaved ice dessert) If you don't know about this place you would never find it, as it is in a nondescript strip mall on the side of the road. The atmosphere inside is also fairly unimpressive, although their are plenty of tables and chairs around for seating I came here for breakfast with my GF and we were very impressed by everything we tried. We each got an iced vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich (a bulgogi breakfast sandwich for me and a BEC for her), and we both thought that everything was fantastic. The breakfast sandwiches were very large as well read more

Still one of my favorite cafes ever! I keep coming back for their delicious bingsoo - the shaved ice is smooth and their ice creams are smooth and decadent. They have lots of yummy bingsoo flavors to choose from, but my favorites are the mango and green tea! Such an underrated cafe - check it out! read more

this place consisted varieties of pastries, drinks and bingsoo. I specifically came here to try the bingsoo after reading the reviews and being recommended of this location. They have variety of sizes that you can select from small, medium and large. The small starting price was at a dollars and a large was about $18. I offer a small to share with a friend as we were not super hungry and I thought this was the perfect portion to share. We ordered the mango flavor bingsoo it came with little along with slices of mango. I thought the syrup was super good! This was a little bit on the side for but overall it was not too bad. Definitely would've returned to try the other flavors that they have along with some of their pastries and drinks as they all look very good. There is parking outside, but it is a little bit limited due to the various surrounding stores that share the small parking lot. read more

Manoa's bingsoo is the only one I like to get in NOVA. Their ice is shaved so finely it looks like coconut shavings and they never melt even in the heat of the summer. I love all the toppings they include (mochi, corn flakes, flavored condensed milk, and ice cream). I know before they used to layer the toppings with the ice, but I still think that there's a good enough amount. They have so many bakery items inside and I like their outdoor seating as well. I've ordered some food too and it seems like they make everything to order which I appreciate. It's a nice place to go study, meet with friends, or go to for dessert after some KBBQ. read more

I honestly have passed through this place so many times while driving I am surprised I did not review it sooner. Manoa is another Korean-owned bakery in Annandale that has many pastries, drinks, cakes, and space to sit down inside and outside. If there's one big plus for me, it's always finding a place to sit down. In my experience of going to many cafes, some are always packed depending on the time you go and it's awkward when you are just standing there with your drink and pastry/dessert waiting for a table to open up. I am so glad that this place is big enough for a vast majority of people who do come in for a quick bite to have a place somewhere to sit. There's a lot of fresh items that's out on display. I didn't get too much because I came here for a small coffee break and wanted something light. If you do come here, there's a lot of options if you have a sweet tooth. For me, I just got the Cold Brew Coffee and Red Bean Donut. The cold brew, black coffee with just ice in it. It was good for the price and it was refreshing. I normally opt for hot coffee but it was so late in the afternoon and mildly hot outside that it'd be better to get something colder. The red bean donut was great too. It was sweet but not overpowering. I really enjoyed that each bite was filled with a bit of red bean followed by the soft fluffy chew of sugar and dough mixed. It was honestly just what I was craving for. I think if there's one thing to note, the parking lot is small and if you were to go during peak hours ( like mid-late evening ), chances are you may have to loop around to find parking. I was fortunate to go at a time that there was no one there but it may be a different experience for others. Check out this place if you're in the area. read more

Manoa is a cute little Korean-owned bakery in Annandale, with a plethora of baked goods ranging from your traditional French pastries to fun, modern Korean takes on more traditional French patisserie. Upon entering the cafe, there's dozens of different single-serve items to try, including red bean buns and castella cakes, to name a few, with exotic flavors like matcha and black sesame. In the refrigerated pastry case, there's a wide variety of cakes (such as traditional layered cream cakes, tiramisu, etc.), cheesecake, and more, and if that's not enough, they have menus with lunch fare (think sandwiches), bingsoo (Korean shaved ice), and specialty drinks displayed up on TVs above the counter. At 9pm on a Saturday night, the place was quietly buzzy, and we ordered a Strawberry Bingsoo ($8.99 for a cup size) to split amongst 4 people (we weren't very hungry). The lady taking our order was quite nice, and put up with our Americanized Korean (they speak both Korean and English here!). Our bingsoo was ready in less than five minutes, which was nice! The cup portion is fairly small for the price, but like I mentioned above, we weren't that hungry. The ice itself is nice in that it's an almost snow-like consistency, as opposed to large chunks of ice, and it isn't too sweet, which is perfect for the base. The tart sweetness of the mangos and strawberries contrasts nicely with the richness of the scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and everything is lightly drizzled in condensed milk, adding to the decadence of the dessert, as well as a fruit-flavored syrup, which lends a further acidity. The small pieces of mochi add a nice chewy texture, though we wished there was more of a crunchy element to the dish. Overall, this was a refreshing, light dessert that we thoroughly enjoyed! Manoa has a great variety of desserts that take some of the best of both worlds in terms of French and Korean cuisine - however, we just wish that the price was a bit cheaper (especially since there's so much competition in the area) - a great place for a sweet treat! read more

Manoa Bakery Cafe - Strawberry Mango Bingsoo ($8.99 for a cup) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

A great spot to hide and chat that is seemingly invisible in plain sight on a busy main road. The internal atmosphere is not at all what one would expect from the appearance of the exterior. The desserts are neither too sweet nor not sweet enough, but some lack the flavors, complexity, or distinctiveness to adequately satisfy more refined tastes. Some desserts are immediately recognizable, and others yet incorporate various creative elements. As of yet, I have not encountered anything I am outright dissatisfied with; and that, on its own merits, deserves mention. I will say, for how pedestrian the presentation, complexity, and ingredients were of some of the dishes, however, the prices did not seem to be commensurate. Definitely get the sweet potato walnut manju. It is my favorite item thus far. read more

The bingsoo here is delicious and perfect for a hot day! Their small is big enough for two to split and very reasonably priced. The cornflakes and mochi in it made for a great combination of textures, and I loved how the black sesame tasted with the shaved milk and ice cream. The baked goods here were also delicious, especially the white bean donut. There was a huge selection of baked goods and service was very fast and friendly. There is plenty of seating. The location is a bit hidden, but I definitely recommend giving it a try! I'll be back for more of their bingsoo and buns. read more

Opened on June 4, 2015, this was the third Korean bakery opened in Annandale after Shilla bakery (opened in 1999) and Breeze bakery (opened in 2010). My wife and I visited on a Sunday. They had a good variety of pre-made vendor food and store made food. A few were unique to this shop. We tried 7 items. 1) Twisted Donut It was a soft, moist, and slightly stretchy breadlike donut. It had mild flavors of sugar and vanilla. It was decent tasting but not special. 2) Red Bean Bread A bun with lots of red bean paste filling. The filling was slightly sweet and smooth with a moderate red bean flavor. The bun was soft and thin with a hint of sweetness and a good toasted flavor. A great vendor product with the lowest price amongst the 4 Korean bakeries. 3) Manoa Chicken Sub It had chicken, melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onlons, mayonnaise, and red chile powder in a soft sub roll. The chicken chunks were warmed, moist, and tender with a savory seasoning. A good tasting sub with nicely balanced flavors and a mild spiciness. It came with a choice of fries or salad. We chose a salad. The side salad had lettuce, tomato, and red onion with Italian dressing. There's no other choice of dressing. The ingredients were fresh. Good dressing, otherwise typical. 4) Black Sesame Bingsoo (small size) It had finely shaved ice, mini white mochi, corn flakes, vanilla ice cream, black sesame powder, and condensed milk. Unfortunately, the ice tasted like plain water. It could have been skim milk. It had no flavor. The bottom half of the bingsoo was ice, so flavors lost strength when it was mixed. It kept the bingsoo cold. The mini mochi cubes tasted like glutinous rice. Condensed milk was drizzled over the ice cream. They added richness to this dish. Black Sesame powder was layered under the ice cream. It added a roasted nut flavor to the ice cream. Mixing everything together created creamy ice milk with a roasted nut vanilla flavor. The mochi and corn flakes gave it texture and a little more flavor. We found it surprisingly enjoyable. 5) White Bean Doughnut It was deep-fried and had lots of white bean filling. The filling had a moderate white bean flavor and modest sweetness. The dough was thin, slightly oily, and breadlike. This pastry was unexpectedly tasty and better than average in flavor. 6) Mango Roll Cake Much like a jelly roll cake in shape only. The cake was dense, moist, and soft. It had a slightly sweet mango flavor. The cream filling was a stiff pastry cream with the flavor of sweetened condensed milk. This was better than other bakeries' roll cakes. The flavor wasn't too light. It had the right amount of sweetness, and the texture was more like a pound cake instead of bread. 7) Oreo Cream Bread It had a cocoa flavored bun filled with mocha pastry cream. There were Oreo chocolate cookie crumbs sprinkled in the cream and all over the bun. It was moist and soft with moderate flavors reminiscent of an Oreo cookie. It was delicious. The service was friendly, polite, helpful, and quick. The dining areas and restrooms were clean. The restrooms looked old. They had 16 indoor tables, and it wasn't crowded. The dining areas were more spacious than Tous les Jours. They had 5 tables with chairs outdoors. They're located in Annandale Plaza, which has a free parking lot. They have hot and cold coffee drinks, hot and cold teas, smoothies, milk teas, breakfast sandwiches, sub sandwiches, bingsoo, cookies, cakes, etc. The food ranged from average to very good, and some exceeded my expectations. I gladly recommend a visit. read more

Nice coffee shop with a variety of Korean cookies and pastries. There are also cakes ( to purchase or to order). Some Korean deserts that I couldn't figure out. Large selection of coffee and Korean hot tea. We tried mini eclairs that were quite good and a slice of a cheesecake that was quite good but was missing some sort of a topping - either a dollop of cream or , better, berries. Very clean, friendly service, lounge music, comfortable chairs. Great place to meet up with a friend for a cup of coffee & a chat read more

I came here with a few friends. Cute cafe that's decently sized with lots of seating inside and a few tables outside. They offer sandwiches and pastries. I had their bacon, egg sandwich, mango smoothie and a cheese pastry. The sandwich is quite filling- the bacon pieces were mixed into the egg. The smoothie is definitely size medium/large so well worth the price and as I am writing this review I haven't tried the pastry as yet. I would definitely return to try more of their stuff. read more

Coffee Shop No. 384 June 20, 2024 Manoa Bakery Cafe Annandale, VA Condensed milk in my cortado? Uh...well... My concern was that it would be excessively sweet or thick? The barista assured me the cortado would be well balanced. He was right! The cortado was a perfect ratio of milk to espresso, the milk was tempered just right and the condensed milk balancesdit all out. I would definitely order their cortado again. Manoa is a lovely clean and peaceful cafe. A HUGE selection of Korean baked goods are set out for you to drool over as you walk to the counter to order your coffee. My son assured me they make the "best red velvet cake ever". There is plenty of seating indoor so you can enjoy your coffee and dessert. A bonus is their outdoor patio area surrounded native flowers and shrubs. read more

I came here for the bingsoo, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. I ordered the small mango bingsoo, and it was very good. I thought that it was a little too sweet, and I wish the proportions were a little different, where there was more shaved ice in it. But I loved how there was a ton of mochi in it, and it was a nice soft and chewy texture. I also liked the added crunch of the corn flakes in it, and there was a ton of fresh mango. It was also much bigger than I thought it would be, I could have definitely shared it with someone else. The service was a little bit slow, but there were a decent amount of people in the cafe. I feel like this would be a good spot to grab a snack and study or do work. It is pretty quiet in there. They have an assortment of baked goods, along with smoothies, several bingsoo flavors, and more. I would definitely come back again for the bingsoo, and to try out some of the baked goods. read more

When you're in Annendale there are a lot of options for bakeries, but I think Monoa is underrated. They had a good variety of bakery items, everything looked fresh and delicious. We also ordered a small mango bingsoo which was really good! I liked that they had a small size, it was perfect to share between two. Also appreciate that they use shaved milk and not shaved ice which I think is such a rip off lol. Overall chill vibes, good bakery prices, and am looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Absolutely amazing bakery. Exterior might throw you off, but it's interior experience is delightful. Ambiance is good and have enough seating space. Good selection of Korean bakery option. I liked how fresh everything is. You don't have to worry about how long it lasts as it doesn't have preservatives, you'll finish it in no time. That's just how good it is. I have seen majority of people taking bakery items home. Cheese & Egg, Bulgogi and Spicy pork are my favorites from the sandwich menu.

Cute bakery similar to Shila and Breeze. Would be a cool spot to catch up on work. We got the soy bingsoo, a slice of strawberry cake, and a couple of baked goods. Soy flavor tastes kind of like peanut butter flavored protein powder. It's a bit of an acquired taste, and though I'll likely be getting another flavor next time, which isn't on this place at all, many of my friends really liked it. Disclaimer: the powder is super powdery and can get stuck in your throat, which is not a very fun experience. The strawberry cake was a little meh, but the baked goods for you to take home were good. Not rushing back here, but that's probably because I'm not usually the biggest bingsoo fan in general. I can't say I'd be opposed to another chance with another dish eventually though. read more

Went to Manoa for some afternoon dessert. Decided to order the large bowl of red bean bingsoo. There are only two choices of sizes. The cup which is pretty small ($8) and the bowl ($12) which is very large. The large bowl is pricy compared to the cup and it would be nice if they offered a middle option. The red bean bingsoo was tasty and if you have a sweet tooth, this bingsoo is for you. It is heavily sugared with red bean, frosted corn flakes, condensed milk, ice cream, sprinkles, and cone drizzled in chocolate fudge. The shaved ice was good quality. However, the cone seemed to be used to limit the portion of ice cream compared to Manoa's photos. The baked goods looked good, though did not try them. The bakery was busy with most of the tables taken. Our table was not cleaned when we sat down. read more

This is one of the best coffee shops I frequent! The atmosphere is very calm, the service is very professional.

Parking: honestly, it's not the best. It's a very small parking lot shared with other stores. So it can get quite cramped. I think this is the biggest downfall. Seating: I think there's a good number of tables & chairs. When it is peak time, it can be harder to find a spot to sit. The inside feels like a Korean bakery Food: they have a variety of bread choices! Their bingsoo (shaved ice dessert) is quite tasty, but can be too sweet. I wouldn't recommend, unless you like sweet things. Their drinks are pretty good. Bathroom: they have bathrooms in the back. Price: I think their price is similar to other Korean bakeries. Service: our cashier and server was helpful and kind. Overall a good experience, as long as you find parking read more

Manoa is a gem in Annandale. After my dinner date, he took me here to unwind and talk. It's a Korean cafe but caters to all.

We did go closer to closing so we were a bit limited on options but we were able to pick up different yummy breads like Castella and Rainbow. We picked up a few other goodies we hadn't tried before so that was exciting and equally as enjoyable as our other pastries. There is a parking lot in front of the store and it's surrounded by a few other shops and there is also even a Bowlero behind it which can be fun if you're out with friends or if you maybe need to study the cafe is not loud at all!

**4.5 stars** I've been a faithful customer here to this day. Their pastries/cakes are still fresh and tasty, the coffee drinks are still made well (they now brew Stumptown FTW), the bingsoo is still flavorful with the right amount of sweetness and great texture. And the prices remain lower compared to other bakeries that have the same or even lesser quality than here. It remains clean and the service is always quick as I just grab n go. My go-to pastry is their milk buns - almost like a condensed milk filling with great texture and taste. Because of COVID they've understandably limited the variety of their pastries/cakes to prevent waste, which sadly my other all-time fave (red bean with fresh cream bun) is temporarily not in rotation. Still I continue coming here for my pastry & coffee fix. read more

The selection here wasn't amazing when I came - it was a bit late so a lot of things were probably sold out. I got the milk bun because you can never go wrong with milk bun, am I right? Overall, thought the cream inside the bun was too heavy. Maybe I'm just more used to lighter cream in milk buns. I also got the Castella cake - excited to eat this for breakfast tomorrow! It is under $2 which is not too bad. read more

The Green Tea Bingsoo was such a delight! If you're someone who craves something sweet without the overly artificial sweetness, then this is the dessert for you! The Medium size is perfect to share between two people. Is it powdered ice at the bottom of the bowl? Whatever it is, all the textures work. You got little mochi's mixed in there with a dollop of Green Tea Ice Cream, and a side of powdered green tea and green tea condensed milk. Perfect. Don't forget the bakery. There's a variety of baked goods to bring home or eat there. I brought home an oreo cream-filled bread and it was good too! Not sweet, but "sweet". Does that make sense? There are tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your bakery goodies, and the staff was friendly. No joke, I'm coming back for that Bingsoo! read more
