He signed me up for the rewards program and gave me some coupons to order online and get free shipping. He explained that this location is actually a pop up that has been there since 2024. He said they would be closing soon. He did mention that Old Town Alexandria was getting a permanent store. Maybe by that time, I will have developed some cooking skills.

This employee-owned business has perfected the art of all things baking and has made it accessible for the masses. You can purchase their items at Whole Foods and even BJ's ... but this store is truly a showcase of their greatest hits. I nearly blacked out as I placed box after box of baking mix into my cart. Their mixes run the gamut from scones, pancakes, popovers, babka, muffins, pretzels, pizza dough, and more. I got 20% off since it was Black Friday and they even gave me a little bundt cake ornament as a special gift. They had their gingerbread cake out to sample, and it was surprisingly delicious (as someone who does not traditionally like gingerbread). This is a pop-up that is scheduled to close soon but I hope that they find another home in the area soon. Everyone I interacted with was super nice and friendly too!

Parking is right in front of the store and the customer service here was always great. It's also right off of the toll roads and main roads making it convenient to swing by.

Well, I had hoped the shopping experience here would improve, but apparently they are determined to…read morebe the worst Whole Foods in the area. They decided to remove all the bulk food. You know, nuts, dried beans, dried lentils, and a couple dozen other items that were available by the pound, as they are in every other Whole Foods, including Ashburn. So I just did something I never do, and walked out, leaving my cart behind, on my way to go to Sprouts, which is next to Mom's - two actual health food stores, both of which sell bulk dried foods. ----------------------- Prior review ----------------------- We waited a year for this? Seriously? What a **HUGE** disappointment. Start with the cafe. Hoping for something as inviting as Fair Lakes, with beer on tap and indoor and outdoor dining? Or perhaps Ashburn's second floor with a two-level outdoor deck? Forget it. The indoor cafe area is about as inviting as a prison cafeteria. They had a year to build, a very large space, and a side parking lot that was always empty when this building was a Best Buy. Given they gutted the building, they could have cut openings in that wall and created an indoor / outdoor space. Nope. Let's just throw some tables against the front wall. The harsh lighting and being on display will ensure quick turnover. I've held team meetings at Fair Lakes, so we could talk over beer and burgers. Zero chance of me ever doing that here. Salad bar? I had hoped for a four-station setup like Ashburn, instead of the three-station setup they had at the prior Reston location. Nope. Just three, with one dedicated to soup, which means all hot food, prepared food, and salad offerings are spread across just two stations. Thus, the station for salad has half the vegetable and protein options Ashburn offers. Instead of five types of greens, it had two, plus browning iceberg, and significantly fewer vegetable options. No cauliflower, green beans, radishes, edamame, green peppers, etc. Protein? Instead of three types of lean poultry, it had one - rubbery chicken. And for non-meat-based protein, instead of tofu and 4 types of beans, it had black and garbanzo beans. Can you get a salad here? Yes. Will I? Given the selection, why bother? And beer? Well, the website claims a "world class selection," but the nearby Giant and Harris Teeter stores both seem to have a much larger selection, including local craft options. And while I was disappointed when I saw the beer options were largely limited to what was in a cooler, I was even more disappointed when I saw how much of that cooler was dedicated to seltzers and non-alcoholic content. Hey, those are great options, but how about a beer selection that motivates craft beer fans to come to the store? If I'm in the store and need beer, I'll grab something, but I'm not passing by Harris Teeter to come here for beer... and that means I'll likely pickup other things there as well. But hey, I did grab some Yogi tea while I was here, since I ran out last night. For $1 more a box than TJ's two blocks away. And while the place is clean, as you would expect at this stage, it has the ambiance of a fluorescent-lit big box discount store. Given the size of the space and the time they spent on the build out, this location could have been their flagship location in Nova. Instead, it's just another grocery store, in an area that does not lack for options, including a Wegman's, right down the road.

They have a variety of toppings depending on your flavor palette from spicy, salty, savory, and a little bit of everything if you are really hungry. The fries are also a must if you come with a group because you get so much in an order and it's all freshly fried and seasoned. The service was a little slow which is my only ding but was excellent once you got served. Order and was on point and delivered to your table which was nice because we had a kiddo with us. Vibes are cool because this is located inside of a brewery. Nice people and good food. Will definitely be back to try everything and pair it with a beer!

They came quicker than expected (about four or five days maybe) and tasted as if they were just taken out of the oven. The service and efficiency was 10/10. Carson also covers all the bases by providing a detailed list of ingredients on his website so you know what is going in your order. On the cookies themselves, they were the best I have ever had. Soft and chewy, they offered the ideal consistency that one looks for. The pumpkin flavor was not overpowering and the chocolate chips were subtle but noticeable. The recipe is perfect. The joy and creativity that Carson exhibits on his social media is reflected in his cooking. I look forward to ordering more from him in the future and encourage you to do the same.

It was a rainy day but luckily we were able to convert from cooking on the patio to cooking in the garage. The food was amazing and it was the perfect get-together of friends, family, and amazing food. The best part was the crispy rice stuck to the pan afterwards. We will definitely be inviting Chef Jesus back for future events! It was great to hear how his family started this business, perfected the recipe, and how proud he was to share it with us. We definitely will keep PaellaDeliciosa and Chef Jesus in mind for upcoming events! There's an option to pick up the paella or have it cooked on-site. We loved the on-site option for us (he brings all the necessary equipment) but we'd definitely look into picking it up as well. We had about 20 guests, and despite people going back for seconds, had plenty of delicious leftovers afterwards.

I'm not much of a chef and it's hard to cook and entertain, so I needed something new and fun - paella and empanadas! Ordered beef and chicken empanadas which were served before dinner with chips, salsa, guac, and queso. Great start- yum! My favorite were the chicken, but the beef were also tasty. Jesus set up on our deck to cook the paella. He came with everything needed (i.e. propane, burner, giant pan, table, etc) and got right to it. Watching him put everything together white we were enjoying empanadas and some wine was completely enjoyable. Not only was the experience fun to watch, but the paella was delicious! I think he had everything in there from seafood, chicken and sausage to veggies and of course rice. It was a great balance and I don't know what's in the broth, but it all came together beautifully. We all completely enjoyed the food and experience and what fun to have everything prepared right in front of us on our deck! Jesus cleaned everything up like he was never even there. If you want something a bit more unique that I can almost guarantee everyone will enjoy, give this a try. Oh, of course there was too much food so we have leftovers which re-heat perfectly! Highly recommend!

I've gotten live lobster from here and steamed them at home during the summer- had a great experience with fresh lobsters! I recently tried the lobster rolls and it was fine. I'm not sure if I'll be back for the rolls, but I will for live lobsters. Lobster rolls are $20.20 for 1. They can assemble it for you, or you can take them home, toast it and assemble. I recommend the latter and add butter to the rolls. I also added a big squeeze of lemon before eating. I've had better, but in a pinch these are good. I think I'm partial to Connecticut lobster rolls. Out of curiosity, I weighed each container of meat. One came out to 4.58 oz and the other 4.66 oz (including the container, which on its own was about 0.7-0.8 oz). Loved the bread- soft and even better with the slight buttery toast. On another note, I know it's not peak season for anything, but the fish under the glass counter looked a little gray and sad. I will be back during the summer. :)
