Hopped off an early flight to DC and headed straight to Woodley Park for Rose Ave! We've been dreaming of their donuts and the Saigon banana snickerdoodle cookie for years. The Saigon banana lattes were yummy too! Worth it to be the first customers of the day!
This place has been bookmarked on my list for a while and we finally got the opportunity to try them and we were not disappointed! So sad that it took us this long to try them. They have a huge variety of Asian-inspired pastries and drinks. I wish we hadn't gotten our caffeine elsewhere because their drink menu sounded delicious. We got some ube pastries and the ube flavor was strong and apparent throughout the patries, which can be hard to find. I wish they had more locations and were closer to us because I would probably go everyday!
I have been wanting to come here for years and it lived up to the hype. I came around noon on a Saturday and while there was a line out the door, I didn't wait more than 10 minutes from start to order. They have all the desserts out on display and they have you order there and order coffee at the register to be more efficient. Some indoor seating but no real outdoor seating, and one restroom. I went with the simple passion fruit donut and the ube latte. The donut was a perfect mix of sweet and sour, not overpoweringly so and the donut was so soft I practically inhaled it. The coffee was quite nice too, not too sweet or acidic tasting and was a perfect combination of flavors. I would love to come back and try some more pastries, as the crab rangoon pastry caught my eye. Friendly service- dont let the line deter you too much!
This time I ordered the scallion bun and the hojicha cinnamon roll. I'd like if the pastries were fresher, but I do understand that they are very busy and there's a lot of demand. I do appreciate that there is an Asian American bakery in DC, with unique combinations and pastries
Mango matcha 3.8/5 Saigon Banana Latte 3.8/5 Mandarin Creamsicle Donut 5/5 Passion Fruit 5/5 Saigon cookie 4/5 Salted chocolate chip 5/5 Overall everything was good! Especially the desserts, the matcha was alright. I think the banana latte was better than the matcha. I think the matcha was lacking the mango flavor. The line was long, but the service went quickly! It's a small cafe with some seats inside and some outside. Not a ton of space.
Extremely friendly service! Adorable Asian fusion bakery. The egg and cheese was flavorful and lighter than it looks. I would definitely go for the banana latte and the banana cinnamon cookies! This isn't your typical bakery everything was a experience enjoyable. The line goes quickly and your served immediately.
I have had mixed experiences with Rose Ave Bakery. My first visit was great. I had a great iced tea and the Thai curry bread was awesome. Although it was crowded, I still managed to find seating with my parents and had a pleasurable cafe experience. My most recent experience was less than ideal. Although all the pastries were there, the early gray matcha missed the mark and I ended up not feeling well after my visit. Not sure if this was due to something else, but I am still a big fan of the bakery and will have to come back (hopefully 100% healthy throughout my time)
My friend loves to bring me goodies to try out from the city when they visit and this was such a welcomed treat ! I can't speak to the service or location much because I didn't go. It must be said that I received the items cold and tasted them cold and reheated. Matcha Chocolate Twice Baked croissant - 6/10 - this rating is about my personal taste, not the quality of the croissant. I'm sure this is a matcha lovers dream and I was impressed by how much filling was in the croissant, especially considering the filling didn't affect the texture of the bread. This was good cold but even better reheated. Bread still had a crunch and the filling consistency was great, but again just not my thing. Strawberry milk - 10/10 - can I curse real quick ? £#%K this was delicious. I could put this filling on just about anything and be satisfied. It was rich but not overly sweet and paired really well with the pastry. I do not know how they manage to have the pastry keep its shape with the amount of filling they're putting inside but I appreciate it. The pastry has a great bite to it and the pearls and frosting adding a slight contrast to the texture was needed because too much of one texture creeps me out. I took a look at their menu and absolutely want to try their cookies the mango sweet tart, and the Ube Cheese Kouign Amann so I will be back !
Unfortunately for my bank account, Rose Ave was a weekly treat for me during my month in DC. I tried so many of their pastries (pandan coconut, pomegranate & passionfruit donuts, salt bread, ube cheese kouign-amann, garlic scallion bun, curry butternut squash tart, black sesame cookie) and drinks (Saigon banana latte, mango matcha, miso caramel cold foam matcha) here, and they all hit because the execution of the fusion is perfection (strong flavors, well-done foundation, creative combinations). Surprisingly, my favorites were their savory pastries. Service is fast and friendly. Ambiance is nice: there's outdoor and indoor seating, but it's usually packed. It's right off the Woodley Park/AdMo metro stop so very accessible. 10/10 would recommend!
Cutesy lil girly spot! I really loved the flavors of my passion fruit donut (it was recommended to me as a fan favorite since I have never been here before). The passion fruit was a punch of flavor that was tangy and paired well with the sugar coating. Not overall too sweet ya know!!? I tried my friend's guava croissant thing and it was super flaky and delicate. And completed the meal with a Vietnamese iced coffee - hella strong!
Visited Rose Ave Bakery in DC on a busy weekend after a friend recommended it, and we ended up waiting in line--which was worth it. The space is a pretty cute, modern café with cherry blossom décor and a great mix of sweet and savory pastries. We honestly tried almost everything Garlic Scallion Bun - Soft, lightly toasted with just the right crunch. Inspired by a Taiwanese garlic bun, it was super easy to eat and one of my favorites (9/10). Matcha Chocolate Twice-Baked Croissant - A rectangular croissant absolutely loaded with matcha and chocolate, topped with matcha powder. It was almost a bit too heavy on the matcha for me, and the bitterness overpowered the chocolate. Banana Chocolate Twice-Baked Croissant - Banana cream on top with banana chocolate inside. Pretty straightforward--tasted exactly like what you'd expect from a banana chocolate croissant. Ube Cheese Kouign Amann - Unique sweet-and-savory combo. The ube adds a subtle sweetness while the cheese gives it a creamy balance. Rich and slightly dense, and I just wished there was a bit more filling to balance the pastry. Miso Garlic Salted Bread - One of my top picks. Savory, buttery, and paired with a slightly sweet brioche-like base that balances everything really well. Elote Bread - Corn-topped savory bread with a nice sweetness and texture. This and the miso garlic bread were tied for my favorites. Strawberry Passionfruit Kouign Amann - Fruity and rich, but a bit filling overall. I just wished there was more filling to balance the pastry. Sugared Donut - Simple and classic, just a soft, sugary donut done right. Drinks: * Strawberry Matcha & Mango Matcha - Both layer fruit puree with matcha, but the flavors stay quite separate rather than blending together. * Vietnamese Coffee with Cold Foam - Strong coffee base with strawberry-flavored cold foam. It's pretty sweet overall with less of a coffee-forward taste, but still smooth and enjoyable. * White Mocha Latte - More coffee-forward compared to the sweeter drinks, which I actually preferred. Overall, I loved my visit--great spot for both savory and sweet pastries with creative flavor combinations and a lot to try. I definitely preferred the savory items over sweet here particularly the garlic scallion bun!
Rose Ave Bakery has been on my radar since early this year! I finally made it to DC this weekend and this was naturally our first stop. They are open until 1 PM on Saturdays, we reached at around 11:30 AM and I was half hoping for them to be out of most items. Fortunately, even though they were super packed, we were able to find all of the items we were looking for - thanks to the hard working staff as they continue to make their pastries until closing - unlike so many other bakeries these days that make a certain amount and call it a day! Now to the food, everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! I am not a donut person but I loved theirs as they were very flavorful and weren't too sweet. I definitely prefer their Ube and Pandan over the Black sesame donut. The Matcha chocolate croissant and the Ube Kouign Amann were my favorites of the bunch! I cannot recommend them enough, this will surely be my first stop every time I am in DC!
Rose Ave Bakery is the best bakery I've ever been to! They have a huge selection of Asian inspired pastries, with really unique and complex offerings. I tried 5 of their pastries - the butternut squash curry one, miso honey garlic salt bread (my favorite!), elote, mochi donut holes, and ube kouign amann. They were all great, with the butternut squash and miso garlic honey ones being the standouts. There was a line out the door the whole time we were there, but it moved fairly quickly. There is limited seating with limited space due to the large line. I would absolutely return. This place is seriously so awesome!

Uh wow the hype is real! I can't believe I only live like 10 minutes away and this was my first time visiting. Everyone said to go early bc they often sell out so we arrived at 10 (there were some things sold out by the time we left an hour later, so they were right to recommend we go early!). We tried so many things but my favorites were the scallion bun, strawberry lychee donut, ube iced coffee, pandan donut, and ube kouign amann. The place was packed out so you may have to wait in line to order and/or find seating, but they do have free WiFi. read more

I truly hate to admit it but the Oishii berry matcha latte is worth waiting an hour for. My friend and I got there around 11 AM this past Saturday and while the line moved a little slow, I would honestly wait for our order again. We each got the Oishii berry matcha latte, which is probably the best strawberry matcha I've ever had. I'm still thinking about it now tbh. The Oishii berry lychee donut was fantastic too and so is their BEC on a scallion croissant. read more
I have been so excited to visit Rose Ave Bakery and finally made my way over there. The place was very pretty decorated with pink flowers and was very clean There were SO many gorgeous pastries to choose. We ended up getting the matcha chocolate croissant, the mango dream donut, and the strawberry passion fruit kouign amann (the display pastry was the last one left but we still ordered it). We also got the Vietnamese iced coffee and the hot matcha latte. The pastries were delicious! The kouign amann was so amazing I am dreaming of it still. Even with it being the display one, it was fantastic. I also loved the croissant too. The donut was also delicious but maybe too much sweet filling for my liking. Our drinks were also delicious. The matcha was perfect for the chilly day and the iced coffee was not too sweet which was nice. The staff was also so nice to recommend us other places to grab dinner. Love and hope to be back soon! read more
Rose Ave Bakery seems like it might be busy until it runs out. The line was that long, and the food was that good. I didn't love that people had to cut through the line to get to tables, but in such a tiny space there wasn't much to be done about that. I chose the mango sticky rice tart, which was great, my daughter had a donut, I can't remember which kind, but she loved it, and the two of us split a savory butternut squash pastry, which was yummy. I had an iced coffee which was good, but the reason to come here is for the pastries. read more
One of the best (and unique) bakeries in D.C.! Walk inside this bright and beautiful space in Woodley Park and look at all the pastries behind the glass. It's an Asian-American bakery and each pastry- sweet and savory- reflects that. There are over a dozen pastries to choose from- cookies, croissants, doughnuts, and more. Visiting with an empty stomach, I ordered the black sesame doughnut and the Spam Musubi croissant. Each came out warm and full of flavor. I loved both! To drink, I ordered the brown sugar latte and it was perfect- not too sweet or bitter. read more

Atmosphere The shop was very busy, however, the line goes through fast with their quick service. It had a sufficient amount of seating for a small space, but there was outdoor seating as well. The aesthetic was very pink, industrial mix with light whimsical decor Drinks: Mango Matcha: 5/10 I enjoyed that the drink was not overly sweet, however the matcha had a powdery feeling. Also there was mango purée at the bottom was nice but there was only a little amount of it. Saigón Banana Latte: 7/10 This drink had a prominent banana flavor which was then followed with a good coffee taste. Since we got it hot it almost tasted like a nice slice of banana bread Food Scallion Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Croissant: 7/10 I appreciated that it is kept under a warmer so that when it is served it stays nice and warm. The croissant was very buttery, flaky, and had a hint of scallion. All the flavors were really well good balanced Passion Fruit Donut: 7/10 The presentation was very nice as it had a pink sugar coating to match the red flower topping. The donut was very fluffy and flavorful, however, the taste comes off more of sweet lemony flavor than passion fruit Mango Dream Donut: 8/10 The presentation was very pretty and creative as it is topped with a mango cream, mango chunks, and then strips of mango leaves. The mango cream on top had a taste reminiscent of mango lassi Ube Cheese Amann: 3/10 The presentation was pretty as it was coated in a purple sugar to match the ube flavor. It had a buttery flaky crossiant, however the crust was hard, most likely due to the caramelization of the outside. The filling had a hint of ube but the cream cheese was a more prominent flavor. Ube Donut: 8/10 The presentation was simple but pretty as it had purple sugar coating to match the ube flavor. In addition, it had a lot of ube cream inside that was not too sweet and did not have an artificial aftertaste either. Mango Sticky Rice Tart: 9/10 This tart consisted of a flaky crossiant layered with a sticky rice pudding and then mango curd on top with chunks of mango and peaches. The tart was very light and refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness Matcha Chocolate Twice Baked Croissant 6/10 This pastry had a flaky and buttery croissant dusted with some matcha powder. In addition, it had chunks of chocolate spread throughout the middle but I wished there was more chocolate read more
There was street parking and I was able to easily park with no issues. The line took about 25 minutes and I was able to get my items quickly. The customer service was efficient and friendly. I ordered 1) curry tart-it was very underwhelming. It was mostly crust and maybe a tablespoon of filling. The filling was not that flavorful to me. 2) strawberry passion fruit kouign Annan-the filling was delicious and this was the best item i tired here. The pastry was nice and flaky. However, it'd of been better if there was more filling;the filling to pastry ratio was very uneven. 3)Coconut Mochi Puffs-these had a good texture and were pretty decent. 4) Garlic scallion bun-the pastry was good and the flavor was ok. it might have tasted better if it was warm. 5) Ube Ensy-the flavoring here was pretty decent. Overall the pastry was flaked and good but the only thing I'd go back for is the passion fruit pastry. The menu was also quite different than what was in the restaurant. read more

Surprised this place is pretty busy and packed even early in the mornings! Came on a Sunday morning and had to wait outside and inside before ordering. The fight for tables is real too. I got the ube donut and Pandan donut, both were good but wouldn't say anything jaw dropping! The rest of the donuts I gave to others, they all really liked them so I got to try the other flavours as well. It's a cute bakery but can't fully experience it since the place was really packed when I went. There are some seats outside as well. read more

The line was 25+ strong before opening and it was warranted. Service is extremely efficient and the entire line had their orders within 10 minutes. Preferred the passionfruit strawberry filling to the pandan coconut, and the doughnut dough to the kouign amann dough. Coffee was very flavorful! read more
The line is definitely worth the hype! Nestled in the Woodley Park Neighborhood, this Asian American bakery offers a variety of sweet and savory pastries that will satisfy anyone's tastes. I ventured here recently on a Saturday morning and it was the perfect start to the day. While they often have a line to order, their service is super quick. I ordered an iced coffee and a hot dog wrapped in a croissant. This was the most epic pastry sandwich I've had in DC. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great especially in the spring and summer since the weather changes by day. The staff was very kind, and I look forward to coming back soon! read more
Really delicious food and coffee. Lots of fun and unique flavor combos, the scallion pancake breakfast sandwich was to die for. It was super busy on a Saturday morning but so worth it. Banana latte was surprisingly good as well. read more
Some of the best coffee and treats I've had. I drove out of the way to make sure I got some for the weekend! The ube coffee is amazing! Usually I think ube flavored things are too artificial, but this was really good. Not fake tasting. Okay and the pastries are so good!!! And the flavors are my favorites: ube, mango, pandan. I wish this was closer to me!! read more
Rose Ave Bakery located on Connecticut Ave in DC collaborated with Oishii Berry to bring us some delicious treats. These treats included the Oishii Berry Lychee Rose Donut and the Oishii Berry Matcha Latte. I'm usually not a fan of matcha but this latte definitely changed my mind. I also decided to grab the beef hotdog since I wanted a savory bite. read more

Rose Ave lives up to the praise they receive. My friend and I made a stop here as it was on our way to where we were going, and it happened to be during their Oishii berry collab. The wait was a bit longer than I would've liked, but I assume it's quicker when they aren't having special menu items. We ordered the strawberry matcha latte, the strawberry lychee rose donut, and the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, which is in a scallion bun. Everything was a hit. The matcha wasn't too sweet, the donut was soft and fluffy (not stuffed), and the scallion bun was just great. read more

Yum! Yum! Yum! The Saigon banana latte was a wonderful tropical coffee treat--made dairy-free by mixing banana, vanilla, and cinnamon syrups with oat milk. The gluten-free and vegan coconut mochi puffs were a perfect pairing, the right touch of sweet chewy goodness. Definitely on my list to return when I'm in the DC area again. The servers were super helpful in navigating allergies and served with a smile. The space is open with high ceilings, ample seating, and bright with light filtering thru the large store front windows. read more
These were some of the most delicious and unique pastries I've had! All of the pastries were perfectly flaky and flavorful. The coffee was also great and had a really nice ube flavor. I got the Thai curry tart, garlic scallion bun, pandan coconut donut, strawberry donut, and ube cheese kouign amann. There was a long line to get in, but I think that these pastries were worth it. I got in line at 9:05 on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes. If you're planning to come on a weekend, I would try to get there are early as possible since this bakery is so popular. Can't wait to come back! read more
Came here for a business conversation and was shocked to find exceptionally limited seating. There was barely room for a couple of pairs to sit down and talk to each other and outlets are not very conveniently located next to each spot. I was also shocked by how dirty the floor was; there were dust bunnies flying around in each of the corners. I do appreciate the free internet. The drink availability was also a shock. They only have coconut and soy milk as alternatives and when I asked for my matcha to be made with an alternative, they informed me that their matcha drinks are pre-mixed with regular milk. That is a telltale sign of poor quality. While their pastries look delectable, I am unlikely to return here for anything but those. read more

Hi there,…
Rose Ave Bakery is far and away the best place in D.C. for a donuts and pastries. Every time I go, I feel like there are new donut and pastry flavors to try. The ube coconut is one of my favorites and like many of the donuts, has a cream filling on the inside, giving you an extra layer of texture and sweetness. read more

The sesame donut and the ube latte did not disappoint. It was a long overdue visit, so naturally I wanted try their most "iconic" items on the menu right before they begin ushering customers out of the store @1pm on a Sunday. And the place was definitely packed, if you're thinking of using working/studying here. To my absolute delight, the dessert was "not too sweet!" (which essentially is the highest compliment one can give an Asian bakery / dessert spot.) While I enjoyed both items as well as the aesthetic florals decorating the place, I will have to rank their baked goods before their coffees. Disclaimer: I didn't get to try their coffees yet, so take this review with that grain of salt! read more
One of my favorite bakeries in DC! Popular for a reason. Classic pastries with subtle Asian flavor twists - think scallion croissants and ube donuts. Must try their donuts! They are light as air, have great texture from the sugar coating and are not overly sweet. My favorite flavor donut is the Banoffee donut. They've got ample options, both sweet and savory, which I appreciate from a bakery. I love when they have fun specials too! Their drink menu is also delicious - the banana cinnamon latte and the mango matcha are favs. read more

Line was out the door even though it was 30 minutes since they opened. Good pastries and drinks were good too! read more
Was visiting a friend and she had this on her list for awhile. We knew it would be crowded on a Saturday and there was a decent line when we got there, around 45 min after they opened. Could've also been busier because it was during August moon festival, so they had a moon cake special for the weekend. We tried almost everything, and it did not disappoint. My favorite was the sesame cookie. Might've been the most perfect cookie I've had--the outside crunch to center softness ratio was PERFECT. The pineapple bun was delicious (for anyone not familiar, it's the shape of a pineapple but no pineapple flavor). Bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with scallion croissant curry butternut squash tart was such a scrumptious savory pastry. There are maybe 5 tables/long bench but not many people were sitting there, maybe because the line disrupted the ambiance. They provide water, which I appreciate! Would definitely be a nice place to sit if it were ever less busy, which I doubt. read more
I was 100% expecting to get to the front of a line and have them be completely sold out but they had soooo many pasteries rolling out from the kitchen. - no wonder they're able to be open for like five hours a day max. I couldn't decide everything looked amazing. I will be back to try more! - got three pastries and a cappuccino for like $25. not even highway robbery for a place that totally could up charge a ton - the scallion shive roll was like a scallion pancake in pastry form. super light and flakey. a good savory offset to our sweet choices - definitely get the donuts. there are so many flavors. the inside ube filling was absolutely loadedddd up. not overly sweet and had that coconut vanilla flavor we all know and love. super unique and delicious. I feel like donuts often taste stale, but this did not at all! - the strawberry matcha croissant was the most expensive item and absolutely gorgeous for sure. the Matcha flavor was not too strong so even my non matcha loving companion enjoyed this. I wasn't obsessed as I wanted more flavor to accompany the "twice baked" CRUNCH and the strawberries didn't add anything besides beauty - the cappuccino used amazing espresso. perfectly foamy with that deep, good qualitiy espresso flavor. not burnt or sour at all. read more

Summary: very well done! The pastry's have a great way of taking on southwest Asian flavors and are good. If you're bored of regular pastry's, or are southwest Asian and missing some tastes of home this is for you! Food: the pastry's I got were well done. The pandan donuts filling was the perfect amount of sweet with coconut although the donut itself was a little too dense and not super super fresh. The mango sticky rice pastry was super well done! They use actual sticky rice and not just mango and coconut. The curry pastry's smelled super good, I'll have to try that next time. As a southeast Asian this really blew me away, I didn't think these two things could be combined. That being said they aren't the most quality pastry's, would get it if I was in the area. Atmosphere: wasn't super memorable, cute and clean though. Service: kind and polite. Final thoughts: I was apprehensive but these were good! They aren't the best pastry's I've ever had, but they're innovative and unlike any other ones I've had. read more
Adorable adorable adorable UGH so cute! I love Rose Ave. The decor is very clean and cute and the pastries are always so fresh and flaky. I ordered the butternut squash croissant and it was LIFE CHANGING. The staff is always very kind, and the coffee is delicious as well. Such a great, great spot. read more

I was staying at a nearby hotel and ventured out for some breakfast. A quick search led me to Rose Ave Bakery. This is obviously a super popular place and it was packed with a long line waiting to order. The line moved fairly quickly and tables turned over at a decent rate. Pastries are packed as you order but drinks take a little longer to be made. I ended up choosing the Szechuan Hotdog Croissant and the Ube Donut. The hotdog pastry was super flaky and the Szechuan mustard had a decent kick to it. My only complaint, if you can call it that, was that it wasn't very warm despite being under a heat lamp. The donut was stuffed with Ube cream, light, fluffy, and sweet without being cloying. Everything tasted great and I recommend it to my coworkers who were also at the same hotel if they were looking for a treat. read more

I tried Rose Ave Bakery years ago when they were just a pop-up at Pike & Rose and their baked goods were just ok, nothing I wanted a repeat of and nothing to go running back for (they had no savory goods or coffee at the time). On our way home from an event, we decided to make a pitstop here. I'm pretty sure I got one of everything on the menu because $72 for 2 coffees and an assortment of pastries is either an expensive breakfast or just breakfast. Banana Saigon Latte - Hubs got the hot and I got the iced. He said he preferred the hot version. I enjoyed my iced and the banana flavor was not terribly intense for me. I did not add any additional sugar or milk/creamer. If you don't enjoy anything with any kind of sugar, you will not enjoy this drink. Pastry Highlights: Thai Curry Tart, Garlicky Scallion Bun, Pandan Coconut Donut, Passion Fruit Kouign-Amann I was really leery of ordering the savory pastries at first, but they were all tasty and none of the flavors were a "kick in the face" like I was prepared for. Ambiance was clean, modern, and plant-friendly. Service was friendly and quick. Do not recommend getting these pastries in advance and serving more than several hours later. Def if you're in the area, this isn't a bad place to stop. read more

Loved loved loved this place. There was a line out the door on a Sunday morning for this establishment which speaks for itself. This place was everything I dreamed of and more they're deff taking pastries to the next level and elevating it by their appearance and more importantly their taste. The service was good, I think they messed up my latte and didn't give oat milk but with how busy they were, I can imagine a slip up can happen easily. I can't even say what my favorite thing was, everything was so amazing. 10/10 for everything, must try!!!! read more

Hi Mahogany. Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about…
I've been a big fan of Rose Ave bakery since the days they were just a pop-up of sorts in the DC food hall and they released their orders a week in advance online. I've since moved out of the DMV area, but when my wife and I recently came to visit, we knew one of the places we had to try was their true brick and mortar store in AdMo. And we are so glad we did! From before and after they moved locations, I've pretty much tried everything on their menu and everything is great. Seriously. It's a true passion project of incorporating Asian flavors into some amazing baked goods it makes me so so happy. My personal favorite items from the savory side is the hotdog bun and scallion bun. Both are so flaky and buttery and absolutely bangers when they're fresh out of the oven or gently warmed. Sweet side I like their kouign amman and ensaymada. Drinks their banana and ube lattes hit. But again, any flavors and ingredients you like will hit the spot! Line was crazy on a weekend, but it seemed like they never ran out of anything which is great and moved quick enough. If you can catch them on a weekday though, that's more ideal and a lovely space to study/work in. Anyways, not much more I can say about Rose Ave besides it's one of my favorite Asian-American bakeries and probably one of the best bakeries period in the DC area. 10/10, would try. read more
My absolute favorite bakery in DC! Have been here a few times, and it never disappoints. I'm always so awed by the creativity of these Asian flavor inspired baked goods and how delicious they are in any combination. I love that there's a good variety of both sweet and savory items. I really don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, and a few of my favorites include the strawberry lychee rose donut, spam musubi croissant, and mango sticky rice amann. No line on a weekday mid-morning, plenty of seating but the indoor seating was pretty much all taken, really cute cafe space. read more

Rose Ave Bakery is one of the few spots in DC that truly lives up to the hype! I visited here on a Saturday late morning and there was a line outside of the door which I reconsidered if it was worth waiting for, which it absolutely was! I was extremely impressed by all of the pastries, baked goods and coffees we tried at Rose Ave. Rose Ave is a small space and usually pretty crowded so unfortunately it's not a spot I would suggest to spend hours at a cafe studying or working. The space is bright and well decorated. The standouts were the thai curry tarte, passionfruit donut and ensaymada. All were extremely unique and unlike most other pastries I've ever tried. Also really loved the Vietnamese coffee, it was the perfect sweetness level. read more

Any vegan items on your menu?
They have vegan coconut mochi puffs that are also gluten free!
Do they quickly sell out Sundays at 5?
They are NOT open Sundays. You can preorder Sunday @ 5 p.m. on their site. They sell all of the preorder items ala cart Thursday through Saturday. If you go close to the opening times you will likely get what you want. I have yet to have anything be…
