    There's just something magical about Rana Cafe Napoleon cake (Mil Hojas)
    Tania B.

    Mil hojas (Napoleon) There's just something magical about Rana Cafe Napoleon cake (Mil Hojas)-- those flaky, golden pastry layers and silky vanilla custard that melt together perfectly. Every bite feels like comfort and elegance in one. Not too sweet, just rich enough -- and that yummy top glaze pure perfection. A dessert that never goes out of style. Pure elegance in every layer. Honestly, this one deserves its own love language. - "Warning: once you try it, you'll crave it forever. Just bought 5 more ‍ Excellent Service. The Ambiance fresh clean and quite

    It's a small coffee shop located near Fort Belvoir. The coffee was delicious and sweet. The interior is a little outdated and the couch needs to be repaired. It's ripped and sticky on the surface. Barista was good and I would love to visit again to try some other items on the menu. Friendly service!!

    Coffee Shop No. 442 Rana Cafe Lorton, VA October 26, 2024 A warm genuine smile makes all the difference. Sitting in the corner of a large shopping strip is Rana Cafe. The shop was clean and neat. What I remember most was the lady at the counter. She was kind and had a beautiful smile. We talked a little about the weather and what a cortado was. It wasn't on the menu and she was not familiar with it, but she was willing to try to make the drink. I think she did a pretty decent job.

    Delicious pastries. Nice cafe atmosphere and WiFi service in case you want to have coffee and a pastry as you work. Reasonably priced for such delicious pastries. Highly recommend.

    We came back a few weeks later for round 2 (we are moving away from the area in June and also it's…read moreour wedding anniversary). Just wow. Our waiter was Dennis. He gave us the history of the restaurant, it used to be at the watergate hotel and former president Reagan was a huge fan of the restaurant. Right after he got shot his wife had a surprise birthday party here. The original chef passed away and they lost their lease so this is the location now. Just some fyi for all you history buffs. The food was fantastic yet again. For the hors d'Œuvres we got the Merguez which was lamb sausage with ratatouille. It was very good. We also got a Brie and prosciutto platter with pickles and spiced pears in a red wine sauce. It was interesting for sure. The Brie was St Stephen's from Stephentown NY. I love Brie and this was a good one. Very interesting flavors. I got the seafood special this time. It was scallops, risotto, asparagus, and a shrimp crab cake. I wasn't a big fan of the shrimp crab cake it was dry but everything else paired well. My husband got the filet mignon. The side was these stuffed potatoes and asparagus. The stuffed potatoes were stuffed with a creamy filling almost like crab Rangoon but better. So yum. The waiter found out it was our anniversary and he went all out. He also gave me half a dozen roses and proposed to me in front of my husband . Yall just go here, and ask for Dennis to be your waiter. He's the best.

I love coming here for their banh mi and bakery items. I had a craving for the Bo Kho (beef stew), and the flavors were on point. The beef was tender. The broth was flavorful. It was extra for the noodles. Not sure why a lot of places are skipping the bread. The service is great. The place is clean. The bathrooms are clean. The ambiance is quiet and fast casual. The food portions are good. I always get little desserts to go. They also have some dishes ready-to-go. I was sad to see that they still do not offer Banh Cuon or Canh Khổ Qua since I used to get it there 10 years ago. Overall, it is still a great place for authentic Vietnamese food!

    First things first: clearly the camera did not eat first here, and honestly, that tells you…read moreeverything you need to know. We tried three items: the red velvet cake, the mocha cake, and an apple pastry (not sure of the exact name, but it reminded me of an apple turnover/empanada). Let's start with the red velvet cake, so good. Moist, flavorful, and honestly better than I expected. Red velvet is one of those cakes that's easy to mess up, but they executed it perfectly. What impressed me even more is that we bought it right before closing, didn't eat it immediately, and it still tasted amazing hours later even after being refrigerated. The mocha cake was well-made, soft, spongy, and clearly high quality, but it just wasn't for me. It has a strong coffee flavor, so if you're a coffee person, you'll probably love it. For me, it was about a 6/10. Now the real star: the apple pastry. This was everything. Perfectly flaky, lightly crisp on the outside, and filled with fresh, flavorful apples. It melted in your mouth! could've easily eaten multiples of these!! Service was also a highlight. Even though we came in right before closing, the staff was kind, patient, and efficient. Nothing felt rushed, which I really appreciated. The shop itself is cute and quaint. Perfect for a quick stop or a casual treat. Overall, Paris Baguette delivered. Some items may come down to personal preference, but the quality is there. I'd absolutely go back, especially for that red velvet cake and the apple pastry . Sidenote: they also have candles & birthday decor for purchase!

Nevertheless, pastries are good and the pumpkin spice latte was tasty! I would download the app if you are a regular so you can earn some points.

The customers are kind of rude though- leaving tables and floors messy with spilled foods or drinks- which is unfortunate.
