Giving it 3 stars because the lady helping us was so sweet, but overall this place was personally a miss for me. It could be that we ordered the wrong items to try, but the bunny milk bread was a bit too hard (almost as though it was slightly stale) and it felt as though there wasn't much cream inside. We also tried a separate pastry (that to Toimoi's credit, is incredibly flaky, which is great) but the mango passionfruit creme wasn't that appetizing for me. It felt like it was missing something - perhaps fresh fruit mixed in with the creme would have been nice. Toimoi was also situated down a long, darker corridor and I think it was more of where they prep and bake the pastries rather than more of a traditional storefront. It wasn't my favorite vibe for a bakery but that's a personal preference on ambiance. Would like to give it another try because again, the lady helping us was very nice and the pastries look yummy, it just didn't deliver in taste for me this time.
Toi Moi Bakery is one of those places that's absolutely worth going out of your way for. I literally travel over state lines to find TM at local farmers markets or stop by the bakery whenever I can -- that's how good everything is. TM specializes in Asian baked goods with really fun and creative twists. Every item feels thoughtful, unique, and beautifully made. You can tell there's a lot of care and creativity behind the menu. My personal favorites are the black sesame croissant and the mango sticky rice croissant. Both are incredible -- flaky, perfectly balanced, and unlike anything you'll find at a typical bakery. The flavors are bold but still comforting, and the pastries are always fresh. I've also really enjoyed getting to know the owner, Annie. She clearly puts her heart and soul into every product she makes, and that passion really comes through in the quality and creativity of the pastries. If you love creative pastries and Asian-inspired flavors, Toi Moi Bakery is a must. Totally worth the trip every time.
Love seeing Toimoi around town at different markets and events! Most recently I tried their mango sticky rice croissant and it was so good! Great fusion of two of my favorite things.
I've had their pastries at the One Loudon Farmer's Market and I love how it wasn't too sweet. I later on ordered a set of sweet pastries on their website. When picking up the pastries, I got lost with where to go as I had to go down a narrow walk way in a building. Once I found the place, it was mainly the bakery with a little section of the pastries you can buy. I picked up a lychee raspberry danish, a matcha strawberry croissant, mango passsionfruit mochi croissant, and ube croissant. The lychee raspberry danish was okay. It was very sugary sweet and the flavors were present. I love the lychee. After, I had the matcha strawberry. It was very delightful. The strawberry wasn't too present as the matcha cream overtook the flavor. After I had the ube croissant. It was my favorite as the flavor was strong and the cream, just like the matcha strawberry, was very nice and airy. I feel like the items from the market versus ordering ahead and picking it up does taste more fresh. I also ordered a ube tres leche cake. It was very unique as I love ube and tres leche. I didn't think to put the two together. It did taste really good and it has the same cream as the ube croissant filling. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't really tres leches as it wasn't really soaked with the milk. I saw parts weren't even soaked at all. I feel like the cake can be redeemable.
About a 1-1.5: Toimoi Bakery is a bakery offering Asian-flavored pastries, specifically popular for their croissants. I ordered: +the Mix Berry Cream croissant +a Pistachio Rose croissant +an Everything pastry Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of any of these pastries, as they didn't taste fresh; they were dried out, and the filling wasn't much. For example, you'd expect their croissants which supposedly are their bestsellers would be buttery, flakey, and yummy; our selection was dried out, and, honestly, they have been baked a a tad bit longer as they were a darker brown. The Everything pastry was the most disappointing, as there was literally a little pat of cream cheese inside; it would have been better if it was a cream cheese filling that actually filled up the pastry. Service was kind. Located inside the Chantilly Square, which seems to house various vendors with their own kitchen, finding the place was easy with the labeled signs and directions. No dice, Toimoi. +dried-out pastries +friendly service +located at Chantilly Square
I got these labubu moon cakes at a pop up the bakery did at The Block for their closing celebration. I love how innovative and fun their pastries are!
What's the union market pop up and got the pistachio almond croissant. The filling was amazing and they had a bunch of different unique, croissants and other pastries that I would love to try. They had a ton of Ube and strawberry filling pastries that looked very interesting and there was a long line to get them, but it went by quick.
You're not alone if you're wandering through the building and outside on where the find this hidden secret! It's usually a pop up but they are open inside the shared building if you follow the arrows and your nose to the fresh baked goods :) They rotating flavors and baked goods so I cant pin point it down to one, but the ube bread was delicious!
Not that I'm in the habit of making New Year's resolutions, but one of the few that I made for 2024 is to try and whittle down my ever growing list of places I've bookmarked on Yelp. I've seen Toimoi at various farmer's markets around the area, and it's been on my list since 2022. I just happened to be in Chantilly visiting the amazing River Sea Chocolate factory (https://www.yelp.com/biz/river-sea-chocolate-factory-chantilly?osq=river+sea+chocolate) to pick up a few gifts, and I noticed someone sitting at a table eating a croissant while also enjoying one of River Sea's always tasty hot chocolates. After inquiring as to where she got the pastry, she mentioned that Toimoi Bakery was located in the same complex and I knew I also had to pop in to check the place out. The location is what Toimoi terms their "croissant hub," although in actuality this is their production facility where they produce many of their baked goods. The owner, Shurou Pu (but she just goes by Annie), was present and was super friendly as she provided some background as to the business and also gave me a few samples. Originally from Beijing, Annie is a classically trained French pastry chef who also honed her skills working at bakery chain Le Grenier à Pain. Pu's unique spin on classic French pastry infused with Asian flavors enticed me to purchase a few items such as the black sesame, ube, as well as the classic Pan au Chocolate. The croissants were light and flaky and had that most desired of Asian flavor profile of being "sweet but not too sweet." Even the next day, the pastries were not dried out and paired nicely with my morning coffee. Admittedly, the price point for these items are on-par if not slightly higher than what I normally pay for pastries. But rather than mass produced items, the goods being baked out of the Toimoi kitchen are truly artisan small batches, so expect them to be priced accordingly. It's easier to get Toimoi at the various markets around the area, but if I'm near Chantilly, I'll stop in again since there is a larger selection.
Went to the Mosaic farmers market and had my eyes on this booth from the start! I was not disappointed at all - however the pastries were expensive at $6.50+ per item. I loved the selection of unique flavors, which made it really hard to pick which ones - Pistachio Rose Croissant: this was delicious but I thought I'd like it more because I love pistachios (hence why I got two) but the other ones we got were better in my opinion - Raspberry Lychee: this was my boyfriend's favorite! The powdered sugar on top just gave it that extra sweetness - Matcha Strawberry Croissant: this one was my personal favorite! The matcha inside paired perfectly - an ingenious combination You cannot miss with anything you get here! Definitely want to try more flavors!
I got 6 pastries from Toimoi at the Arlington market! My husband and I both are huge foodies and couldn't help ourselves but try every single one on the same day My personal favorite was the savory kimchi ham and cheese crossaint and my husband's was the egg and miso paste! All of them were beautiful and you can tell made with GREAT flavors in mind! We almost wish the Asian flavors were stronger! Such as the kimchi or Ube! The service at the Arlington market was amazing as well! We couldn't choose and just kinda panicked and said "Please give us 6 of your favorites!" And they delivered (: Overall we cannot wait to get more toimoi and try more flavors!
I've tried 2 of their pastries so far and can definitely tell that the croissants are high quality. They are crispy and airy and I like them even better than the croissants I got from Bread Alley (which had been my leading croissant in the DMV til now). Try baking them at 350F for a few minutes to warm up if you got them cold. They taste so good after doing that. I tried the black sesame and marshmallow croissant which was a 4/5 since I love black sesame and though the filling flavor could have been stronger and there could have been more filling. Also tried the pandan croissant which was. 4.5/5 loved the pandas flavor and it was interesting that it was a sticky filling rather than cream. The bigger pastries get a little pricey at $10-$12 a pop. Wish they did smaller sampler sizes. I do love that they are doing a pop up in Arlington. It allows me to buy their stuff more frequently since their actually bakery in Chantilly is too far. Please keep coming! There was no line both times I went and service was friendly.

FOOD & SERVICE The staff was very kind and patient, and they recommended to us some of the goods when we didn't know what to order. We ended up getting the pandan coconut croissant and the red bean mooncake. The mooncake was very pricey, and in our opinion was good but not worth the price tag. The pandan croissant was very creamy on the inside from the filling and crispy on the outside. The menu offers other unique flavors such as dulce de leche, brownies, almond matcha croissants, and many more. AMBIANCE The walk around the market is very nice and lively, and when we visited, Toimoi was by Nando's. On a sunny day, the market serves as a nice stroll to meet new people and engage with the community. PARKING Toimoi Bakery hosts its stand weekly at Mosaic's Saturday farmer's market, so ample parking is available through the District's parking garages or via limited street parking. read more
After all the hype, we decided to try one day they were in Mosaic and I really have to say - not understanding any of the hype. Got the sesame marshmallow and matcha almond croissants. I wouldn't call the croissants flaky - when they crumble at the touch and don't hold any semblance of shape, it's called dry and crumbly. The filling was almost non-existent - a simple slather. Otherwise you're really just eating dry croissants at $6 a pop. The matcha had zero matcha taste..it was just sweet with a scent of matcha. The black sesame you could taste, just wasn't enough of it. read more

I discovered this place at a farmers market in Fairfax. I love the Asian twist on classic French pastries. I wish the flavors were a tad more prominent though. The croissants are well-made, buttery and flaky. I look forward to trying more flavors! read more

WOW. Just WOW. I have been wanting to try baked goods from Toimoi for a while now, but never have the chance to make it out to the farmer's markets that they are sold at. This past weekend, they did a pop-up at Ben Gong in Centreville which is closer to me so I took advantage. There were only 4 kinds to purchase: Coconut, Pistachio Rose, Matcha and Black Sesame. I bought one of each except for Matcha. I was super pleased with my purchase. They were all delicious and stood out in their own unique flavor. I think what makes them great is the flakiness of the croissant as well as the creamy, not overly sweet almond cream filling. I was hesitant to get the coconut because usually coconut desserts are typically super sweet. I was pleasantly surprised with the coconut croissant and appreciate that it was perfect. Now, I know that I want to try some of the other flavors Toimoi has to offer. It was a bit pricey at $6 per croissant, but you have to treat yourself every once in a while. read more

Thank you Christine! We will be working with bengong’s tea again in…
Tried almost 10 different pastries. Everything from sweet to savory. They are extremely creative and I love the ideas and flavor combinations. But when it comes to execution, I think they are lacking. The savory cheese and corn danish is tasty but really nothing special. The crème brûlée croissant had a really good flavor but wasn't that layered or flakey. The rose pistachio croissant was so flakey and good, but you could barely taste the flavor of rose or pista. The cube is filled with a really good pistachio praline but then the texture of the pastry is dry and tough to pull apart. All in all, I love their ideas but really wouldn't go out of my way to try them again. And most pastries are $6 and the cube / specialty ones are even more (cube in particular is $14) so it is pretty steep pricing. read more

Dear Atisha,…
Very popular spot in the area! I've been to both their Mosaic (Sun) and Arlington (Sat) locations: Mosaic had a much longer line (30 mins) than Arlington (no line) but more options. Pro: They have a lot of fun and unique Asian-inspired flavors like ube, salted egg yolk, Lao Gan Ma, kimchi, etc. They also do trendy shapes like cube and supreme. The ube cream in particular is very good, fresh, light, not artificial tasting at all! The lamination of the croissants are great, nice honeycomb structure and even layers. They also have a wide selection of other desserts like pudding, tres leches cake. Con: Slightly pricey ($6) for the size. Some other flavors (milk tea and pistachio) are just ok and kind of bland. The croissants (at least the ones I've tried) are on the dryer, somewhat crumbly side, not buttery enough. read more
Finally got my hand on some of these delicious croissants. I've tried preordering before but they sell out too quickly. I showed up at the mosaic district farmers market when it opened at 9am and there was already a long line. The line was quick though and efficient! I ordered ube cream ultimate croissant, maple pecan, and passionfruit mango mochi croissant. The Ube and passionfruit mango were absolutely delicious. Light pastry cream with mild undertones of each flavor. The maple pecan was slightly stale and dry. Overall, I would absolutely come back for the Ube and mango passionfruit but would pass on the maple pecan. Croissants are $6-$8 which I find reasonable considering the amount of time and cost of ingredients for these items. There is a generous portion of cream in both. Give this place a try and support local! read more

Oh. I lucked out today! There was a Saturday art blooms fair at Mosaic and Toimoi was there! There was a small line and I was able to snag a classic chocolate croissant and an ube cream & cookie filled croissant. What a treat! I will plan ahead for my next visit and order online because they have so many varieties of fruits and Asian flavors that I'm want to try! Their croissants are large, puffy and perfectly textured. What a gem of a bakery with classics and a twist! I love the fusion and creativity. The people staffing the stand were friendly and helpful. The cream in the ube cream and cookie was light with a generous amount of cream. Ok. This is going on my regular treat stop list! read more
Got stuff from Toimoi at FreshFarm Arlington on Saturday! We tried an ube supreme and a matcha cream croissant. We didn't get a strong ube flavor from the cream in the supreme or the purple drizzle. The croissant part was kind of dry and not super flavorful either. Love the availability of this unique flavors though, and the market is a nice environment! read more
I came here after a recommendation from a friend. I stopped by the farmers market and I was speechless by the amount that was there. I definitely recommend getting there early as they do sell out because everything is amazing. I got the hot dog croissant was so flavorful and crispy. The flavor profile is very buttery yet light. It really hit the spot and kept me wanting more. The almond croissant had the almond filling as well and it was delicious. I just can't stop and I think I am in love. No Cap. I will definitely be back and order more! read more
Have been wanted to try here for a while, and came to the Mosaic Farmers Market on a Sunday. I came around 10:30 and the line was about 10 people. It moved fairly quick, and they had a QR code for their menu that day. Ordered six different items including the Pistachio Rose, Salted Egg, Ube Cookies & Cream, Strawberry Cake Box, and a few others. Everything was great, but the standouts were the Salted Egg and Pistachio Rose. Both were great, and would suggest these to anyone. I would come to Mosaic just to come back here. Place lives up to the hype, and will absolutely try more menu items in the future. read more

Went to the Mosaic Farmers market for these incredible croissants! All of them were so delicious, I can't pick a favorite but the rose pistachio was a front runner! I ordered ahead and was glad I did because the line was very long but would be worth the wait! Will have to try the supreme croissant read more

Yummy deliciousness. I tried their farmers market stand and I was super impressed with how helpful the staff were and how delicious each item was. It is a little on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. I loved the taro bun!!!! I will definitely be back to try their storefront (which I didn't know existed until seeing them at the farmers market). read more

Yes. Finally got to try something from them. The Ube tres leches was all that- if you enjoy this type of dessert. Saturated in the purplely sweet potato milk/leches a beautiful sponge cake baked well to hold the Ube milks. It was really good and I do enjoy these kinds of dedecadent The Matcha super croissant was light and delicate, even my husband who is not a fan of matcha enjoyed it. We also got the early grey lavender croissant and the almond cream and almond topped croissant which was my son's favorite. The red bean paste bun was sparsely filled, but enjoyable non the less. We really like desserts and cakes, so only thing a bit dry was red bean paste bun. Did not take pic of tres leches- ate it too fast. We purchased at Arlington Farmers Market. read more
Toimoi makes my favorite croissants and pastries! The first time I ever had an actual high quality, crispy and flakey croissant is made by super sweet Annie :) I love how innovative she is in her menu, constantly releasing a variety of unique flavors that you can't find easily (or anywhere) in the DMV area. Ever since having her croissants my standards have been much higher! One of my top favorites is her ferrero rocher croissant. She also makes delicious soft cakes :) I'm curious to try her new Kouign Amann! After traveling to Canada and trying other croissanteries there as well, by bf and I both agree Annie's croissants are the best. She is also one of the most bubbly and talented people I've met! My Instagram post of when I first tried her croissants (I have many other posts about her after this day as well!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjVpTEFNDK/ read more
I pre-ordered a box of pastries to pick up from the Sunday pop-up at Eckington Hall, DC. I probably spent way too much time deciding what to get. The good news is this shop never disappoints- I had tried an assortment of items from the farmers market stand (Mosaic FreshFarm) in the past and was excited to get new items today: cream corn danish, miso bacon (egg) danish, egg tart, cherry blossom croissant and Milk Tea Custard Chocolate Plié. The Plie is so special and my favorite: pastry spread on one side with pastry cream, chocolate chips added, folded, and baked. My pre-order was carefully boxed and waiting for me. The team member was patient to explain the different pastries, and apologized for our wait. read more
I've been seeing all these baked goods with unique flavors offered by Toimoi Bakery, so I've wanted to try them for quite some time now. I was in Mosaic District this past weekend and I made sure to stop by their stand at the farmers market. Within 20 minutes of opening, there was already a line of a few people, but they still had plenty of baked goods to choose from. I got one strawberry watermelon croissant, one peach kouign-amann and a passion fruit jasmine tea since it was super muggy out. The flavor of the croissant was interesting; however, the croissant itself was very disappointing as it was dry and not flaky enough. I think I've had better croissants from a grocery store. The kouign-amann - while I've never had a peach one before - was nothing to write home about. Both the croissant and kouign-amann were $6 each - too much for what it was. Lastly, the tea that I was so excited about and paid $5.30 for. As you can see from my image, not only did it come in a slightly smaller cup than the usual "small" in coffee shops, but she didn't even fill it up - what's up with that? I love baked goods and refreshing teas, so I definitely have no problem paying however much I'm being charged as long as there's good value. Unfortunately, after spending $18 at Toimoi Bakery for something I didn't enjoy, I just felt ripped off. read more

The best bakery I have been to. I love every moment of every visit. The line always long but the workers are so fast and efficient while they serve you. Every time we see them at the Mosaic district market we know exactly what we're snacking on. Our friends described the matcha croissant as "the truth" as he ate it. My family loves being able to sit down and enjoy our pastries and enjoy our time together. read more

It's so difficult to find delicious Asian-inspired pastries in the Northern VA area and Toimoi does it the absolute best! I stumbled upon their pop-up at the Mosaic District Farmer's Market and was so impressed by their variety. They have desserts that have lychee, matcha, pistachio, Ube, black sesame, and more. Another plus, they now have dog treats and the owners are so sweet to always share some with my pup :) My only complaint is they don't have a store front so we have to wait until Sundays to get pastries. read more
Some of the best croissants and pastries in the DMV! You can preorder to pick up on Sunday at the mosaic farmers market or wait in line. Ube Supreme Croissant - beautiful and so worth the hype! The ube cream is perfect and the croissant was flaky perfection Black Sesame Marshmallow Croissant - the perfect amount of black sesame flavors in a perfectly cooked croissant Miso Bacon - Loved the crunch bacon with the soft pastry and the miso added great umami flavors Ube Roll - The ube cream cheese was heaven! You can put that in anything and I'd be in love Definitely worth the wait to try! read more

I am shocked to see that Toimoi Bakery does not have more reviews on Yelp. These pastries are phenomenal. Toimoi Bakery specializes in French pastries inspired by Asian flavors (taro, black sesame, ube, matcha). These pastries taste just as delicious as they atheistically look on Instagram. I had my eyes set on trying the croissants, and was lucky to be able to try the mango passionfruit, pistachio almond, and matcha rose croissants. Each one was so unique in flavor, with the right amount of butteryness that you seek in a croissant, combined with the crispy flakiness. Some of the croissants even had a cream filling in the middle which was a nice flavor and texture surprise as I was biting into it. You can place an order online for pickup through her website, or find her at popups in the NoVA area. Toimoi also frequents the Mosaic farmers market on Sunday mornings, in which I would suggest getting there early so items aren't sold out! read more

Ordered their Christmas package that included a hot chocolate bomb, panettone, taro tiramisu, matcha supreme croissant (the viral circle croissants and my main reason why I bought the package) and chestnut milktea croissant. Taro Tiramisu was a good twist on the classic tiramisu. I think it can use more sugar though but I think it's still a win! Chestnut Milktea Croissant was soooooo good! I can eat this everyday Matcha Supreme Croissant was very flaky and the cream was really good too. It was huge and I feel like it can use more cream. I haven't tried the panettone and chocolate bomb yet. Overall it's definitely a good place for your croissant cravings!!! Excited to try their other products in the future! They're very accessible through instagram too which is a plus! read more

Pro: 1. Don't have to go to NYC to try the famous giant croissant. Con: 1. Cold weather = cold croissant It took me 3 weeks to finally manage to pre-order the giant croissant, and it was worth it. The store is located among street vendors, and unfortunately, the day I managed to order happened to be cold and rainy, and the croissants were all cold ;( Besides the fact that weather could easily influence the quality of your experience on the croissant, everything else was delightful. I wish I could try it again during warm weather. read more
