Love the little bread mirror they have set up near the front, it's very cute! 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.

I'm choosing joy. I'm choosing vibes. I'm choosing snacks. While back on the dating scene, I literally have one rule: pick me up/send me an Uber and I'll go wherever with you. 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. I will crumble faster than the cookie. The ice cream choices complement all things ice cream sandwich. Truly no wrong choices just great ice cream flavors for the best ice cream sandwich or bowl! This was so delicious. I'll be back...a big back, all the backs!!!

Just wow, I didn't know I needed this in my life, but I definitely do! Build your own ice cream…read moresandwiches? Yes, please! Pick your base (cookies for a sandwich, cookie bowl, or cone), pick your ice cream (tons of yummy flavors), pick your toppings (lots of options). Thankfully we had a light lunch so we could enjoy this delicious treat! Highly recommend the brown butter apple cider donut ice cream. So creamy and delicious! The kids went crazy and we will be back when in the area. Portions are large so consider splitting for younger kids. Great service and we also enjoyed the lovely tables outside in the shade!

Bonjour, Mon Ami! ( Hello, my friend...) It is good to visit and enjoy your delicious pastries!…read moreEven though I arrived late in the day, the pastry cases were full of enticing baked goods. There was every kind of croissant you can imagine. I bought my favorite almond croissant. There were fruit and cream filled pastries. I bought a fruit and cream filled pastry too. There were a lot of chocolate delicacies. I am going to buy some on my next trip. The ambiance is lovely. There are tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your sweets. There are cases filled with pastries. Service was great. I was waited on right away and they packed my box in a bag with a handle, to make it easier to carry. Au revoir, for now! But, I will be back for more delicious sweets.

When you walk in, the counters are filled with pastries and breads that look fresh and delicious…read more I had one and it was very fresh, buttery and very good. There's seating inside, but the seating area is pretty small and some people were at tables looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. It was a nice morning, so we were able to grab an outside picnic table. The service was decent. One disappointment was when the counter person asked me if I wanted room for cream in my coffee, I said yes and asked if they had nondairy products. She said they had almond and soy. I asked for soy and she returned with my drink. When I went to pay, I saw they charged 79 cents for almond, soy and oatmilk. Ok. Here's the thing. I assume it's on the board and I should have looked, but she also could have mentioned it. Also, charging for these items when they put a little in your coffee leaves me feeling like I'm being abused for not being a dairy person. I get it - it's a pastry shop and the items are buttery and rich from cream. But please - 79 cents for a little soy milk? (I know this isn't uncommon for coffee shops, but it doesn't make it right.). And the coffee ($4.25) was decent - not great. I expected better (richer, more flavorful) coffee from a nice pastry shop like this. Anyway, it's a nice neighborhood place and there's a lot of treats there.

Our server was nice and let us try the different flavors with a smile…read more I got the twist flavor (I forget the real name, but it was supposed to be vanilla/ground nut flavor, or something like that). It wasn't for me, while it has the texture and sweetness that everyone loves about ice cream, the flavor was quite bland. Also, no nuts! I added the chin chin (fried cookie pieces) but they weren't sweet... It didnt hit the spot for me. My wife got the spicy chocolate. Has a nice kick to it, but she didnt eat very much. I am confused why there are no fruit flavors available. Maybe its a seasonal thing, but I would love to see some creative fruit flavors in the future. I like the concept, but I would love to see some other flavors.

We came for the mango sticky rice toast which was brought out shortly after we finished the savory baked goods. It was delicious! Mangos aren't in season yet so they were a bit tart but I thought it was a nice contrast to all the sweetness. It's a small cozy cafe. We'll definitely be back to try their other menu items!

I've been here a few times now and have really enjoyed it overall. There was only one flavor I…read moredidn't love, but everything else has been consistently good. My favs are the grass jelly and mango series. Really like coffee grass jelly. and the milk tea with grass jelly. The mango series is solid too. I also like the black sesame, but since it's a denser drink, I'd recommend 100% sweetness if you prefer something sweeter. The kiosk can be a little confusing sometimes, but the staff are always helpful. The wait time is usually pretty reasonable as well. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.

Got their mango pomelo sago drink and brown sugar boba. I really liked the brown sugar boba perfect…read morechewiness. The mango pomelo sago drink was okay. It might've been an off day.

I love this place. I've come here serval times especially for their tiramisu matcha latte…read more Unfortunately, every staff member makes its differently. Out of all the times I had it, I can say 2 times it was made the best. The best ratio of cream, matcha, sweetness, etc. They always have a variety of pastries to pick from. & though the line can be a little long sometimes, they move fast. I've sat in the restaurant a couple times, usually there is a lot of people, but it a really nice establishment.

We got the pinkfong cake for my daughter's birthday since it looked so cute. However the taste was…read morethe issue as it did not taste good at all. The frosting used on the outside and the cream used on the inside was not the fluffy and soft kind we liked and was not similar to the other cakes from this bakery that we liked. It tasted like hard butter and unfortunately we had to throw out the entire cake since everyone refused to eat more than the first bite. My husband asked the employee if this was a vanilla sponge cake and they said yes since he cannot eat chocolate cake. Unfortunately once we cut it, it was chocolate. It was a waste of $50+ and would not recommend unless you're just purchasing for pictures and not to eat. The mango and strawberry croissants were good with sweet whipped cream. I liked how the cream also tasted like mango in the mango croissant. The sweet pretzel was also good and crunchy. The inside of the store is nice with plenty of tables. I also liked how there were a lot of outlet spaces.
