Bingsoo, coffee, bubble tea, macaroons and baked goods? Perfect. We got an iced coffee and a snow bingsoo. Next time we'll do bubble tea. Espresso was extracted well. Bingsoo hit the spot on a hot summer day. Parking is easy. Plenty of space inside. Cute interior with natural lighting and cute tables for groups and dates. Recommended!! read more

This tea shop is kind of out in the sticks, but it had interesting menu options. Against my better judgement, I ordered a mango sticky rice matcha. It seemed like a bit of overkill, but the layered presentation with some very bitter matcha, the milk, and mango syrup at the bottom made for an interesting experience that required a straw to sample each layer to fully appreciate. Not wanting a full pastry on top of that, I did indulge in a single macaron, which was large as these things go and nuanced in flavor. This place did not appear to have a ton of vegan options as has become more common at other such places. But what they offered was enjoyable. read more

New boba cafe in the Annandale area, a bit further east on Little Turnpike away from where all the restaurants are. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is new and clean with the typical cutesy boba cafe vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A big group of us stopped by for some late night desserts this past Saturday. Other than drinks, they also have a fair amount of desserts like macarons, cookies, bingsoo (sadly, they did not have it when we stopped by), and baked goods. BLACK MILK TEA (M) - 5.25 +0.75 for tapioca pearl I got it with 25% sugar and 25% ice. This is my standard order for every new boba shop I check out. The one here was just OK. The 25% sugar was perfect for me but the milk tea was on the watery side. I couldn't taste that much of the tea flavor and the milk was a bit weak, too. The tapioca here is pretty soft and chewy, which we all enjoyed. BANANA PUDDING - 5.99 One of my friends got this for the table. The banana pudding slaps hard. The pudding is super smooth and creamy and there's bits of nilla wafers and banana chunks throughout that adds to the texture. For those Magnolia Bakery fans missing a good banana pudding, you can get one here that is solid. BERRY LEMON BAR - 7.49 Another dessert for the table. This was so dense. One bite and I was done. It is quite sweet and citrusy, but more so too sweet for me. Our group loved it. To the sweet tooths and lemon bar lovers, this one is for you. I'd recommend it. Would love to stop by in the future to try their bingsoo and their banana pudding again! read more

I love Vessel tea. It has some of the best matcha I've ever had. The service is great and the woman that is always there is so sweet. But why is it always closed when I go? I went there a hour after it was supposed to open and it was closed despite the open sign being on. Before that, I tried going 30 minutes before closing and the doors were locked again. I love vessel tea so much but I feel like I have to stop because I'm wasting time to go there when it turns out to be closed! If the hours are wrong, at least post the correct ones! read more

New bubble tea cafe in Annandale, in the same shopping center as Chi Mc Chicken and Beer. We ordered: Vietnamese Coffee 2/5‐ tasted burnt and bitter, like the bottom of a coffee pot. We could not finish much of this and unfortunately threw it out. Brown Milk Tea 5/5- adjusted to 25% sweet and it was perfect! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cute new shop in the Chi Mc shopping center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of parking to be had, just be aware you need to do a bit of a squiggle turn into the plaza. The owners are super sweet and accommodating and offered to make me a custom drink but they have freshly made cheese foam which was very yummy. They also have the cutest desserts to pair with their teas. If you like STRONG Vietnamese coffees, this is your place! Will 100% have you wired :3 Def stop by if you are in the area, pairs well with Chi Mc hehe read more

This was my second visit to Vessel Tea and it will be my last. I ordered the matcha boba tea and it was terrible watery, very bitter, and just not good. When I politely brought this up, the barista was extremely rude and dismissive. She even said, "It's not like Starbucks matcha" in a patronizing way, as if I didn't know what matcha should taste like. For the record, I usually drink different types of matcha, so that excuse was both unprofessional and insulting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is always empty, which now makes sense.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Between the poor customer service, condescending attitude, and low-quality drinks, there's no reason to come back. Vessel Tea needs a serious improvement in both product and professionalism. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute brightly lit corner cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was pleasantly surprised to find this hidden gem a bit past the main Annandale strip.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They offer a variety of drinks - I got the chocolate strawberry latte which was amazing. The strawberry foam really shines and tastes like a nostalgic strawberry flavor. Their macarons are also perfectly chewy and have great flavor. I also decided to grab a chocolate ganache cake because it looked good. Taste and texture was consistent with the looks and the cake was nice and chocolatey without being overly sweet. Will definitely be stopping by here again. read more

New boba store in town! What sets this place apart is their homemade macarons and desserts. They are all made fresh daily. Also the staff here is very friendly and helpful in providing suggestions! I've already been a couple times to try out their array of dessert menu items. Plus their boba is also always creamy and the pearls are perfectly chewy. If you're a boba lover or a macaron enthusiast, this place is a must-visit! 5 stars all the way! read more
