I mourn the fact that COVID killed the samples, but it's still a great place to shop for a treat or just run in and grab a coffee which I do a few times a month. Recommend: Any of the breads that are unwrapped and on the baking trays by the counter. Those are fresh out of the oven that day. I especially love the mocha roll. It's big and fluffy with chewy moist mocha flavored dough and a crispy sugary coating on the outside that's to die for. It's still light and fluffy at the same time. Yum! And while it's prob not made in-house, I do love the red bean buns. Bathrooms are always clean and the upstairs is great for a longer chat with a friend, time in a book, or board or card game time. They also have a lovely upstairs covered porch for pretty days.

Went in for the mango snow, but they were out of the mangoes. Decided to try the yogurt snow and…read morealso got a chocolate chip brownie plus an upside down pineapple cake. First, the yogurt snow had awful fruits: kiwi was old, strawberries were not ripe, melon tasted like watermelon rinds, the canned mandarins tasted canned. The yogurt was okay, but the snow tasted just like ice. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever for $16.55 The chocolate chip brownie, didn't have much taste of chocolate and stale. $4.50 The upside down pineapple cake was the worst, so old it had the metallic taste of the aluminum container and crumbled into granules using a fork. Absolutely inedible! $4.25 Breeze bakery has been going downhill for a while now, but 3 out 3 items being inedible for $28 is unbelievable. There is also the short bulky Korean guy, possibly the manager who's seems to be on a power trip and speaks to customers rudely and unprofessionally. Will never come back and will inform my friends and family how this business is tanking.

This bakery has survived the COVID-19 pandemic and competition from other Korean bakeries by keeping things simple. On weekends, you may see couples and small groups of older Koreans gathering here (which enhances the authentic vibe). This place is our go-to destination to find castellas or sweet potato buns after enjoying a Korean dinner in Annandale.

TLDR: A beloved neighborhood Korean bakery that excels at both the classics and modern dessert…read moretrends. Their 3D mousse desserts are some of the best I have ever had, and the loaded bingsu makes Shilla a must-visit in Annandale. Shilla has been a neighborhood staple for years, offering everything from cakes and breads to bing-su and beverages. I have had many of their cakes for celebrations and birthdays, they always hit. While they nail the classics, they also continue to impress with creative desserts that feel fresh and refined. The interior has plenty of seating, clean, and cute paintings on the walls to set the mood. Despite the busy crowds, service was quick and welcoming. We came specifically for the 3D mousse desserts, and they exceeded expectations. My favorites were the Sleeping Bear, Avocado, and Banana. The avocado mousse was surprisingly nutty and paired perfectly with the banana jam filling, creating a balanced dessert that wasn't overly sweet. The Chocolate Bear was equally smooth and creamy, and even the buttery cookie base was delicious. The strawberry bingsu was generously topped with condensed milk and large, chewy pieces of rice cake, making it the perfect dessert to share. Shilla remains Annandale's staple bakery and a gem.

After all these years, O Bread remains one of my very favourite bakeries of all time. Revisiting…read moreafter a recent renovation, I was reassured that they had not lost our compromised their creativity which was evident in their baked goods selection. One of the things that makes them stand out is the creative blend of ingredients and flavours that most other bakeries don't have. And they have classic offerings that are hard to find elsewhere, such as the banan cream bun which now apparently has slices of real bananas in addition to the already outstanding banana cream filling. Service is always friendly and courteous, and the fact that this is not a big chain of stores adds more credibility in my book. I hope they stay open for many more years.

They have some of the best breads out of all the Korean bakeries in NoVA. I like their chocolate conch bread and their cream bread (the refrigerated one). They have really soft loaf bread. They also have a large variety of breads and they are all individually packaged in wrapping. If something is not in a packaging, they will pack it for you during checkout. Cakes are not too sweet, and it is a good price. Good place to stop by. I think they have a little table and chair for like two people, but most people grab and go.

The staff is always attentive, professional, and friendly. Even though it's a smaller bakery, it's packed with incredible treats. And that says a lot considering it's located in Annandale, surrounded by so many Korean bakeries -- yet Tiffany's still stands above the crowd. A true hidden gem and a forever go-to for me.

I got several cookies and two slices of cake (mocha and tres leches) for $12 and brought it home to our family who devoured everything immediately. The cakes were light and fluffy ... and a bit on the sweeter side but points for having mocha which is one of my favorite flavors of all time. I'll definitely be back! In this economy, this place is truly a gem.

They have everything from small bites like cookies and pastries to full size cakes & tarts. They also have single serve slices of some of their cakes like the chocolate mousse cake. We went for breakfast sandwiches and tried both of the base bread options. The snowflake bread was soft and pillowy (my favorite) and the brotchen bread was slightly crisper & a little bit saltier, also amazing. Eggs are fluffy and a great portion size. Added cheese to each and smoked bacon. A delightful breakfast treat. On the way out, I got a baguette for a last minute appetizer need. It was so soft and freshly baked (and big!). I'm going back today for more fresh bread. There's also plenty to shop for like mustards, jams, cheese and charcuterie, grab and go items, and beverages. This place has summer chalet vibes & is very upbeat and friendly. Lines can get long during typical busy hours, so it's not super quick if you're in a rush. Great place to come relax.

I did not have need of the imported chocolates and other packaged goods, but there was certainly plenty there worthy of perusal.
