If you are used to snoball ice this is a little different its very creamy and very reminiscent of ice cream while still having the light texture of shaved ice. It is definitely something you have to experience for yourself. I enjoyed the variety of topping options they had, I was able to get mochi and flan as my toppings while my partner got wafer cookies and oreos. The workers there were nice and patient as we chose our flavors and perused the menu. The store itself is located in a food hall which lends itself to have a variety of seating options. Its a nice entertaining area with a fun projector area playing shows. Great place to hang out overall.

TLDR: A beloved neighborhood Korean bakery that excels at both the classics and modern dessert…read moretrends. Their 3D mousse desserts are some of the best I have ever had, and the loaded bingsu makes Shilla a must-visit in Annandale. Shilla has been a neighborhood staple for years, offering everything from cakes and breads to bing-su and beverages. I have had many of their cakes for celebrations and birthdays, they always hit. While they nail the classics, they also continue to impress with creative desserts that feel fresh and refined. The interior has plenty of seating, clean, and cute paintings on the walls to set the mood. Despite the busy crowds, service was quick and welcoming. We came specifically for the 3D mousse desserts, and they exceeded expectations. My favorites were the Sleeping Bear, Avocado, and Banana. The avocado mousse was surprisingly nutty and paired perfectly with the banana jam filling, creating a balanced dessert that wasn't overly sweet. The Chocolate Bear was equally smooth and creamy, and even the buttery cookie base was delicious. The strawberry bingsu was generously topped with condensed milk and large, chewy pieces of rice cake, making it the perfect dessert to share. Shilla remains Annandale's staple bakery and a gem.

Soricha really surprised me with the quality! You can tell they're passionate about their craft, as every item feels thoughtfully prepared. I also loved the cute shelf featuring their personal collection of teacups, which added a nice touch to the space. They also had cute art around. The bingsu is definitely shareable, both of the bingsuus we got were rich in flavor and came with generous toppings. The sparkling coffee, however, wasn't quite as sparkly as I expected The injeolmi latte was a little disappointing because it doesn't come with espresso, which I didn't realize when ordering. I ended up paying an additional $2.20 for espresso. That said, I would recommend adding it because it really helped round out the drink. The server was quick to bring it out after I asked about the lack of coffee. My biggest hesitation is the price. The iced latte came out to around $12 after tax and tip, so I'll probably only come back occasionally. Still, the unique flavor combinations and overall quality might be enough to bring me back for another treat.

I mourn the fact that COVID killed the samples, but it's still a great place to shop for a treat or just run in and grab a coffee which I do a few times a month. Recommend: Any of the breads that are unwrapped and on the baking trays by the counter. Those are fresh out of the oven that day. I especially love the mocha roll. It's big and fluffy with chewy moist mocha flavored dough and a crispy sugary coating on the outside that's to die for. It's still light and fluffy at the same time. Yum! And while it's prob not made in-house, I do love the red bean buns. Bathrooms are always clean and the upstairs is great for a longer chat with a friend, time in a book, or board or card game time. They also have a lovely upstairs covered porch for pretty days.

Went in for the mango snow, but they were out of the mangoes. Decided to try the yogurt snow and…read morealso got a chocolate chip brownie plus an upside down pineapple cake. First, the yogurt snow had awful fruits: kiwi was old, strawberries were not ripe, melon tasted like watermelon rinds, the canned mandarins tasted canned. The yogurt was okay, but the snow tasted just like ice. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever for $16.55 The chocolate chip brownie, didn't have much taste of chocolate and stale. $4.50 The upside down pineapple cake was the worst, so old it had the metallic taste of the aluminum container and crumbled into granules using a fork. Absolutely inedible! $4.25 Breeze bakery has been going downhill for a while now, but 3 out 3 items being inedible for $28 is unbelievable. There is also the short bulky Korean guy, possibly the manager who's seems to be on a power trip and speaks to customers rudely and unprofessionally. Will never come back and will inform my friends and family how this business is tanking.

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.

I also tried the Apple Pie and Thai Ice Tea flavors. The Thai Ice Tea wasn't overly sweet, which I loved and you could really taste the thai tea flavor. The apple pie tasted exactly like an apple pie, just creamier in an ice cream form. Everything was so good, and the whole experience was great. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Mosaic area!

My go-to flavor is the Stracciatella, but this time I decided to try the Blueberry Lavender. It was definitely unique and more of an acquired taste. I didn't pick up much blueberry, and the lavender was a bit overpowering for my preference. My only real complaint is the size of the cups. They give you a very generous scoop, but the cups don't seem large enough to hold it comfortably. My gelato was already dripping all over my hands before I even finished checking out. I appreciate the generous portions, but a slightly larger cup would make the experience much less messy and let you actually enjoy all that gelato without racing against the melt!

I wanted to order a porridge and a bingsoo at the same time, but she told me I shouldn't and that she'd have the bingsoo ready for when we finished the warm porridge. I'm so glad I listened because it would've been weird eating hot, steamy porridge and an iced dessert at the same time, especially with the dessert melting. Right when we finished our porridge, I walked over to ask her to prep the bingsoo, but she already had it finished because she noticed we were done eating. So attentive!!! Also, if you're allergic to sesame seeds, I'd advise telling them beforehand. Most of these dishes involve a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. My friend is allergic and we forgot to tell them, so we tried to spoon them out, but it's hard to get everything.

It would've been fine if the wrong one tasted great. Unfortunately, it wasn't. It was weirdly full of iceberg lettuce. I'm taking away one star for the error. We tried the Matcha Bingsoo for dessert this time. It was pretty good. I'll include the photos of the meals. 3/10/26 I can't believe my family and I hadn't eaten here until now.
