    Chicken beignets
    Mary N.

    Now watch me whip, now watch me beignet nae. Better quality than the place in Downtown Disney in California! Plenty of parking with kind staff. There's not a lot of seating though. The beignet is in between airy and doughy. Slider- would get it without the powdered sugar because it already has syrup/honey in it. It's like a McGriddle but better Chicken and beignets- pretty good, crunchy popcorn-chicken-sized pieces . Good to try once but I wouldn't get again Pomegranate tapioca syrup is just for a limited time so we tried that. The flavor grew on me and it cut the sweetness of the beignets nicely because of the tanginess.

    Came in one day wanting to have a quick lunch. They weren't offering sandwiches at the time because they didn't have something they needed. I forgot what they were missing. I ended up grabbing a couple beignets to take home instead. When it's warm and fresh, the beignets are really good. Not too sweet or too doughy. I think they were priced okay. The shop was empty when I came in, but a couple people came in a few minutes later. The shop is really cozy and clean. they have the cutest decorations. If there are a lot of people stopping by, I think it can get crowded really easily. They have a lot of people who come for a quick take away though. Service was good. Beignets were good. Shop was clean and cozy. I'd be back to try the sandwiches when I get a chance.

    Flight of 6 Beignets with 3 dippers

    Got these from their food truck and maybe that's why it wasnt great. It was stale and biscuit-like. Was hoping for light and airy. Dips were also old, so much so it separated.

    6 Beignets w/chocolate, apple butter, and strawberry (?) dippers

    Tried a beignet a few times at family gatherings but I've never been to the shop and grabbed anything for myself so we made a late morning trip over. It wasn't really busy on the Sunday morning we visited so there was plenty of parking. The interior is a little small but nicely decorated. Staff looked a little busy but were friendly. We ordered 6 beignets with 3 dippers (chocolate, apple butter, and (I think) strawberry), a Gumbo'd Shrimp bowl of grits, and a grilled peach iced tea. Only took about 5 minutes to put everything together and we were out. The food traveled well. The beignets were light and fluffy and the dippers were really good. My favorite might be the strawberry (or whatever the pinkish one was). It was definitely a lot sweeter than other beignets I've had because it was both glazed and covered in powdered sugar. I think they would've been perfect without the glaze. The grit bowl was good. Shrimp were kind of small but there were a lot of them. Flavor was tangy. The tea was decent but not much peach flavor. It tasted like the sweetness all came from the peach slices that were put in the cup. Overall, a solid experience. Good customer service and the food is pretty solid. I would come back if I'm looking for something sweet to eat.

    6 beignets flight
    Caroline K.

    MUST COME HERE!!! This place is so awesome!!! The beignets are so delicious and the owner is so personable and sweet. We got a flight of the 6 beignets with chocolate, caramel, and apple butter dipping sauce. They were all so rich and delicious. It was so much more than I could've expected. The restaurant is so adorable inside. Has plenty of seating and the most adorable decorations with photos of the owner's family enjoying his beignets! So heartwarming. I am so beyond impressed! I'll definitely keep coming back.

    We stopped by this cafe shop in a small strip mall off of Ashburn rd for coffee. They do not have any alternative milk like almond or coconut milk, and their oat milk is not gluten free. The service is good and friendly, having said that we're unlikely to return.

    Smoked beef tri tip sandwich
    Maddy L.

    I've been wanting to try Bilstads and I'm so glad I did! They have a small sitting area inside the store. It wasn't busy when I went on a Friday for lunch, but I'm sure it does get busier on the weekends. I had the smoked beef tri tip, I thought it was good but nothing to rave about. I wish there was more beef, but the bread is delicious and it is a pretty large sandwich that can make for two meals. The beignets were so good. They were fluffy, soft, and light. It wasn't overly sweet with the powdered sugar. The dips add just the perfect amount of sweetness. I had the caramel, apple butter, & strawberry dips. I thought they were all really good! Everything was reasonably priced & definitely worth the trip when you can't make it to NOLA

    Breakfast bento box
    Jeremy N.

    Good beignets, excellent cafe au lait and other beverage options, but maybe only "OK" quality on the eggs and bacon. Friendly service from the time we entered, throughout our meal, and as we left. Cute little shop with several tables, but most customers took their orders to go.

    I did a 26-mile ride to Ashburn and discovered this cafe. Worth the workout worth it (and provided needed carbs). I will back and plan to try the innovative, breakfast bento boxes and unique teas and coffee combinations. I had the ginger-maple tea. A pretty place on a sunny spring morning. (Now, I get to ride home--downhill, with a tailwind, and with happy tastebuds.)

    If you liked fried dough balls this is the place for you! I've not had many beignets in my life so I can't say if these are authentic or not. My Louisiana uncle thinks they are the best in the area. They don't remind me of the ones I had in Louisiana which are more fluffy or the ones at the Arlington place which are similar to those. However apparently they are the shizzle bc the people in there I am not kidding told us they sometimes come twice a day. Prices are reasonable and lots of sauces. I wasn't a fan of the fact they are rolled in ginger syrups BUT the fam enjoyed them so there is that.

    Beignets!

    Pillowy soft and fluffy beignets showered in powdered sugar are served up fresh and hot. They are a good size but so delicious it's hard to stop! I ordered 6 to share with my daughter and we both agreed we could have easily eaten all 6. They offer a variety of dipping sauces that varies daily. We opted for just the chocolate but they will let you try the full "flight" if you want. The chocolate was delicious, thick and fudgey like a ganache. They also serve coffee which we didn't try since it was afternoon. The shop is bright and cheerful and service is fast and friendly.

    Matcha Lab Experience…read more After having been to Seven TeaHouse several times, we wanted to try one of their tasting experiences - the Matcha Lab! Our host, Cody, was incredible and super knowledgeable about all things tea. He guided us through everything from the origins of matcha to how to make it ourselves at home. It was especially helpful to watch him make the drinks and see the proper technique for whisking matcha and what temperature water we should be using when making our own, etc. For the tasting itself, he made us 4 different matcha drinks - all of which were soo good!! It changed my perception on what good matcha drinks can taste like and I think has increased my standards (for better or for worse lol). If you love matcha, interested in learning more about it and want to try some different matcha drinks not offered anywhere else, I highly highly recommend the Matcha Lab.

The ability to sample a few options before ordering was a great touch and made it easier to try something new. Everything we had was well-made, fresh, and not overly sweet, which let the tea flavors stand out. The menu has a good mix of classic drinks and more unique specialties, and service was quick even with a steady crowd. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations, which made the visit even better. The Majesty latte was a standout. Smooth, flavorful, and nicely balanced.

This cafe is located in Vienna, and there's plenty of free slanted parking in front as well as parking in the complex next to and across if you're willing to walk. I've been to this location when it first opened years ago and they've really upped their menu and decorations inside since. The ambiance inside is beautiful, ideal for anyone looking for a good Instagram picture. There's so many angles and details so that no matter where you're sitting, there's a good vibe. There's also gorgeous seating outside since it can get crowded. For food, you order from the front and they'll call you when the food is ready. We ordered the dubai gelato and pistachio lokmas. Both were presented tastefully to make sure our eyes and cameras wanted to eat before our stomachs. The dubai gelato was a quality dessert with a good ratio of milk: cream. The pistachio flavor was evident on top, but it was just a kinda tart vanilla ice cream with toppings. I did like it, however, and it paired well with the lokmas. The lokmas were fried to perfection, a nice amount of chewy, and covered with a good ratio of pistachio cream. They were a decent size and conducive to sharing. The prices of everything, overall, was pretty expensive, but the quality definitely made up for it. I'd recommend this cafe to someone looking for a unique sweet treat, catching up with a group of girl friends of 2-4 people, or for a first date!

Amazing service and the strawberries were perfection and saucy and yum. TONIGHT ugh. The stars are for the delightful service (every employee I've encountered there has been lovely). Tonight I went to order the Dubai strawberries-- very UNcheap-- and I glanced into the glass box with the berries. It was foggy and whatever. So I ordered. I waited. I was serviced PRE-PREPARED strawberries! Terrible! So, I didn't notice that the berries were already prepared (foggy glass). And I took them home without noticing, because covered in kataifi and crushed pistachio. And wow. Disappointment. Deeeeeeply unenjoyable. Had I noticed they were already made, no way. I've seen them like that at Bakery Museum and I absolutely will not purchase. I'm sorry I don't have proof of the excellent berries I was served last year. But I don't have a need to go back again. Whomp.

I ordered an almond milk latte and the avocado toast without feta. The avocado toast was SO good, the avocado tasted really fresh and they used the perfect amount of balsamic vinegar.

Only note is that the bagel came with a ton of cream cheese, so if you don't like it piled on, I'd recommend asking for light cream cheese.

The decor makes you think of what you'd find at an eccentric great aunt's home, but in a positive way. Each area has its own mini aesthetic that contributes to the entire place; in the back are color themed books that give it a more serious look, while upstairs is more whimsical in it's random assortment of chairs and couches. The food is in appealing display cases downstairs. The stand out pastries for me are the tiramisu filled cronuts. Drinks wise, they have the typical cafe fare but excitingly so they also have Colombe on draft which I will always be excited about. I recommend this place to grab a snack and socialize!
