    Disappearing quickly

    This place is great! Was next door at cycling place and saw the word "bakery". That gets me every time. Did not spend much time with anything else but zeroed in on bakery on left. I was not disappointed, there were dozens of different pastries and breads, more coming out from the oven. I bought a decent selection and the family loved me for it when I arrived home. Fresh, flavorful, and great friendly staff!

    Pan De Frances

    I went to Herndon's Bodega and Bakery for a last minute cake. I was able to get a cute 8" cake for about $30. While I was there there was gentleman leaving with warm bread in a bag, which made me curious and I found that this bakery bake fresh Pan De Frances (which is basically the bread used to make tortas (sandwiches). The bread costs $0.50 each (I bought 12=$6) which I thought was a steal. The bread was fresh from the oven and you can go to the back left corner where the bakery items are, knock on the door and request however many you want/need. They also have fresh donuts, Salvadorian bakery items, cookies, mini cakes. It was definitely worth the trip. They also custom make cakes I saw someone leave with a hugeeeee baby shower sheet cake that looked to serve over 100 people easily. I would definitely recommend this place!

    still sticking to my initial review of this place! great bakery/bodega in the Herndon area next to a cycling shop/cafe. I still order my cakes from here from time to time and they deliver delicious, beautiful cakes every time. customer service is on point every time. what more could you want?

    10.02 Needed a cake for a coworker's farewell lunch. Came in on a mission to bring the cake to work at noon, I had 30 minutes to get back to Reston. The line at the counter was long when I walked in, by the time I chose a cake there were only 2 people left. Took 10 minutes for the whole transaction, 2/3 of the time I was trying to decide which pretty cake to pick. When I finally did, the lady boxed it up at the counter and rang me up. Badabing badaboom... I was back in the office ahead of schedule. Verdict: everyone loved the cake. It was light, moist and perfectly spongy for a cake. The flavor was tres leches which can be too sweet at times but not this cake. The frosting was so airy with just enough sweetness. Cake was so good I ate 4 slices and refused to feel guilty gorging. Parking was limited and cake was 50, expensive but worth every penny.

    This place is horrible, they sell born cakes, the strawberries born with green algae, you should check if you buy here, really disgusting.

    Minnie Mouse birthday cake made fresh for my birthday girl.

    Such a hidden gem. I requested a Minnie Mouse cake for my daughters birthday on Sunday. I came in and left a deposit, told them what flavors, etc. when I came to pick it up I was blown away. The cake came out perfectly, exactly as pictured. The cake was flavorful, not too sweet and not dry. I chose chocolate with chocolate crepe filling. I will order another cake from them next month for my sons birthday. Give them a try.

    I used to come here for pastries one a weekly basis. Now that I move I try to go from time to time. For eight years now they still a killing pastries place, have a variety of them most of them don't know what their name is but I do know how good they taste

    We dropped in for a birthday cake and it was fresh, beautiful and entirely scrumptious, not too sweet. The cake was moist and the icing was perfect.

Nevertheless I never had an issue when I went. I thought the ambiance was very nice. The seating is cute and when you order "for here" they serve you in a very cute mug. I've had the red eye and the coconut chai. I didn't know this until after the fact: the coconut chai does not include coconut milk only coconut flakes. The baristas were nice about the misunderstanding. Bonus: The bakery offers physical loyalty punch cards. Ask for one if you are a fan of your drink!

The space is unique and cozy, filled with romantic decor that makes it feel like home. The food and pastries are just as amazing as the atmosphere. I tried their rose latte, topped with delicate rose petals. It was so pretty and uniquely flavorful. I've also tried their pesto poulet sandwich (baguette, pesto chicken, tomato, green pepper, and mozzarella cheese) and it was super yum! The chocolate hazelnut pastry is a perfect companion for the coffee, and you can ask for your pastry to be warmed up, which is even better. Bonus: they serve the coffee in a cute mug, which is such a nice touch. Love when I can have my coffee in a mug! Employees are nice, and the service is great! Plenty of seating and parking is easy. This café is perfect for a relaxed morning, brunch, or an afternoon treat. I am already planning my next visit!

    Ginormous ooey gooey cookies! The weighty cookies are the size of my fist and weigh 6 oz, no…read morekidding! Great for sharing! They are buttery and decadent, similar to NYC's Levain cookies. The Brownie double chocolate cookie is hands-down my favorite and tastes like a fudgy brownie. The dark chocolate chips just melt! The Classic Chocolate Chip cookie was a bit too sweet and tastes like a sugar cookie with chocolate chips. I wasn't a fan of the Cookies and Cream Oreo cookie. The Cina-Cookie tastes like a buttery Snickerdoodle cookie with cream cheese filling. The Birthday Bash cookie was fun to try, but quite sweet and loaded with sugar. Highly recommend warming up the cookies in the microwave for 20-30 sec, they soften up and taste like they were just baked with that delicious ooey gooey texture. The chocolate chips just melt in your mouth! If you get delivery, the cookies are stone cold. Delivery takes 2-3 days after placing an order, even local shipping takes a full day. While it was fun to try the 4 pack of cookies with delivery, it was just too much and I was on a serious sugar overload. It would be nice to have an option to only get a set of 2 cookies with delivery. The cookies just don't taste as good cold even with reheating and it's better just to get the cookies at the shop. Will stop by for the Chocoholic double chocolate when I'm in the area. Happy to support this small NOVA business!

    PLEASE NOTE: This was for nationwide shipping…read more It had been a while since I had ordered from MidnighTreats, but after a 36 hour snowstorm the winter blues had officially settled into my soul and I needed a little pick-me-up. Important reminders: each MidnighTreats cookie weighs over 1/3 pound! They're enormous, and for sure big enough to split (... to share, sure, or just to enjoy yourself later; they even recommend cutting them in half before freezing them [if they last that long]). PRO TIP: you *have* to reheat them before eating them (otherwise the flavor/taste/texture just isn't the same). Build your own box for currently $30 ($20 plus $10ish for shipping), and some of the flavors change each month. We've tried... + Birthday Bash (funfetti rainbow sprinkles cookie): personally, I like the nostalgic flavor of generic "birthday cake" that's recently become a thing, and I think they do a fantastic job capturing it! + Strawberry Shortcake (shortcake cookie smothered in strawberry icing): This was the taste of summer I needed. So bright! Just the right amount of sweet! And they definitely didn't hold back on the icing! +/- The Classic (a blend of dark and semi-sweet chocolate chips): compared to other vegan chocolate chip cookies that can be shipped to your home, this one's actually one of the better ones! +/- The Chocoholic (fudgy double chocolate chip cookie): you have to REALLY, REALLY like/be craving chocolate for this one. - Cookies N Cream (oreo bits with chocolate chips and vanilla chips): this one was just okay, and I take the blame for missing that it contained white chocolate chips which I am not a fan of. It says they're vanilla, but that's not what they taste like to me. - The Cinna-Roll: I believe the recipe for this one has changed over the years, because it used to be a cinnamon roll flavored cookie with cream in the center (and there was *barely* any of it, making it a very dry, very boring cookie). It seems it's now a cinnamon roll cookie smothered in vanilla icing, so I just wanted to make sure I had corrected info here. Other things of note: they've donated thousands of dollars to animal sanctuaries across the country! they've planted close to 20K trees with reforestation projects! they've donated thousands to local schools and shelters in their NOVA community! How can you not love a company who's built in giving back to their community in their core principles?!

    Nice bakery! I was offered a complimentary slice of bread when I came in. Not sure what it was, but…read moreI thought it was pretty good. I also bought some kind of a chocolate chip cookie, which I also thought was great. The only thing that made me feel a bit disappointed was that I wanted a coffee, but I came in about half an hour before closing and the coffee machine was put away or something like that so I was not able to get a coffee. On a separate note, I personally think it would make things better if cappuccino could be added to the menu and if there could be a couple small tables and some chairs set up inside if possible or maybe a couple indoor benches. Otherwise, everything else about my experience was good!
