They have seatings…read morescattered around and the set up is like a typical asian bakery where you can grab your items but I was primarily here to try their tea since I love boba and if they call themselves teamania I hope that means its great. White Magnolia Milk Tea - Floral without being perfumey or too sharp! Pretty good balance of tea to milk ratio and reminds me of molly tea. 4/5 Jasmine Milk Tea - honestly pretty good too. feels like a molly tea knock off with the menu offerings, cup designs and even flavor profile. its slightly too sharp but still good. 3.75/5 Da Hong Pao Milk Tea - the tea flavor is there but it doesn't mix as well as the magnolia or jasmine. I think they are better at more floral teas but this wasnt bad. 2/5 Banana Pudding Matcha - Banana flavor was not strong, it was not sweet when it should have definitely been more sweet and the flavors just didnt mix very well 0.5/5 Portugese Tart - pretty good but nothing too memorable 2.75/5

UPDATE: The last few times I've been here it just hasn't been as good. The food options have faded…read moreand the drinks have just been okay. The tofu steam bun -- easily my favorite lunch item in the area -- really didn't work. It's still an interesting experience but I really can't recommend a place I now avoid. --- PROS - Interesting selection, interesting food, lots of options, overall friendly staff. - Bathrooms were clean. The interior of the restaurant seemed like a good meeting/date spot. Although they had Wifi, I wouldn't call this a great place to come and study or get work done, although I saw people doing that. I've had the Vietnamese coffee twice, the first time was great, the second time was just okay. Food items are very unique, so much so I didn't like some of them but I still enjoyed the experience. Try something that sounds weird, it's half the fun of coming in here. CONS * Allergies - it wasn't clear what all everything was made with so if you're trying to avoid gluten or peanuts or eggs, I didn't see much on ingredients. I know for some people that's a red flag. * The tea. We just thought it was above average but not amazing. I mean its right in the name, come on. * Collecting items - you gotta look for the little trays and the salad tongs. That's what you use to grab stuff out of the cases. I know for most people that was super obvious but it wasn't for me. * Summertime note: during the hotter months I've noticed they seem to have some issues with keeping things cool.

Such a charming café with excellent baked goods! This place offers a wide variety of pastries,…read moresweet treats, and savory breads. The service was also efficient and friendly. There were so many tempting options to choose from, but we decided on the focaccia and the pistachio cream puff. The focaccia was fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, not greasy or overly seasoned. The pistachio cream puff was a pleasant surprise. The filling had a rich, authentic nutty flavor and a natural brown-green color, rather than the artificial taste and bright coloring often found in pistachio desserts. The choux pastry itself was light, airy, and moist, which I really enjoyed. The coffee was also quite good and paired nicely with the pastries. I visited on a weekday afternoon and had no trouble finding street parking or a table to enjoy my food. I'll definitely be back to try more items from their bakery case!

Ube donuts were dense and ube filling was not too sweet, but just right. We love the ube rolls as they were fresh and soft. Ube cheesecake is great, but they often run out.

I wish it was closer to my part of town, but we always drop by when we are in moco. We plan to make a trip to the Frederick location as well.

I stopped in around 10AM onna Sunday for their fresh pan de sal (baked until 11AM) and grabbed a few warm bags to share. The real reason I came was for their ube cheesecake for my goddaughter's birthday -- and wow. Rich, heavy (in the best way), and easily one of the best ube desserts in the DMV. It disappeared fast. After this visit, I literally sent three other friends here -- and they all walked out with a full load of baked goods and loved everything. You can also order Gwenie's on Uber Eats and DoorDash, and they often run buy-one-get-one specials on the apps, which is such a great deal. If you're not local, you can even order some of their treats on Amazon and ship them to someone you love. They also have a convenient Pentagon City spot -- Gwenie's Pastries - Pentagon City -- which I love since I live in Washington, DC, plus a Frederick location at Gwenie's Pastries - Frederick. If you're looking for authentic Filipino desserts, pan de sal, halo halo and ube treats in Maryland, Gwenie's is a must. I'll always support this local Filipino-owned bakery.

The service is okay -- not overly friendly or especially helpful, but not bad either. It gets the job done. The pistachio chocolate croissant is really good -- definitely one of my favorites there. I just wish they posted when the pastries are made throughout the day. I asked once about timing and didn't really get a clear answer, and it would be nice to know when things are freshest. Also, their London Fog steamer is delicious and perfectly comforting. Overall, a great little bakery with some standout items -- just a bit more communication and warmth in service would easily make this a five-star experience.

I'm in my YES phase right now. YES to every invite! No dietary restrictions here...I'm open to all the things. Gluten? Yes. Sugar? Absolutely. Anything yummy, anything bad? Hand it over. I'm not fighting for my life in the gym yet. I was told I would be on the best date ever. Best date ever? Hmmmm. Very, very confident. I love that energy. Well, Pike & Rose is amazing. I'm late to the party, but I arrived cute, so it's fine. I'll give it to him, great date. But what made it spectacular was him introducing me to The Baked Bear. I do love nice things, roses, and gifts, but the way to my heart is SWEETS. Love me with sugar and I'm likely to like you more. This was a direct hit. A bullseye. Cupid could never. I've never been to Pike & Rose. I do not like driving, so this area has never crossed my mind. But yes, thank you for the intro. I will now be acting like this is my spot. We walked up and wow...the line was so long. There will be lines, fair warning. The neon sign was everything because I am the Cookie Monster of the DMV. If it's baked, warm, sprinkled or melts slightly when you touch it, I want it. Hand it over! Cute places to sit outside the shop! Very date‑night worthy, and lots of couples doing sweet couple things. I love... love. This was lovely to see; old couples, new couples, couples who look like they met on the walk over. Love is beautiful. Let's get into it! I did not want to do the brownie cookie sandwich, but my new big‑back friend said I could and should, so I did. Don't threaten me with a good treat.
