Review is specifically for the Salt Bread and cookies…read more I just came back from Asia and had my first Salt Bread over there and oh my god I am hooked. I've been searching all over the DMV and the Salt Bread here has been very, very lackluster. Bit Bakery is the first place where the Salt Bread is actually buttery (to the point my fingers started to glimmer). My favorite variation has to be the Squid ink! Also while I came for the Salt Bread, I certainly stayed for the cookies. The cookies were even better than the Salt Bread!! So soft yet also held together well. I tried the Banana Milk flavor and really enjoyed it. Currently just a pop up, but they're off to a good start. Excited to see Bit Bakery's story unfold! :)

Went to the Bit Bakery located inside the Pop-Up District in Eden's Center on a busy Sunday…read moreafternoon. Hard to find parking as always. They have a selection of cookies and some free samples. The basic salt bread and ink bread are available when they open (as well as the cookies) but some additional breads become available after 3pm. I walked around the pop-up district and waited until 3p to try the Ube Salt Bread. I had never tried the original Salt Bread before but the Ube Salt Bread lived up to the hype. It was flaky, crusty, salty, and sweet. The Ube Cream had the right amount of sweetness and they were definitely generous with the amount of cream. I would come back and try the cookies and other salt breads next time. They have everything on display so you can look at the different cookies and salt breads. The inside is mostly a silver and grey going for a retro/modern experience. Music is pretty loud but there is ample seating inside.

I came in beginning of November incredibly annoyed thanks to my period. I went to their fridge and picked up their rainbow cookie bits and pieces just to try. for whatever reason, I could not get my phone to work when it came to checkout. It would not do my mobile pay for whatever reason & the sweet ladies at the front told me to just pay for it next time. I honestly could've cried. I ended up going to 99 ranch and getting cash back to pay them, but they don't take cash. so lesson learned - credit card only or order online. I ordered online end of November because I knew my period was coming. and perfect timing, Saturday pickup I was on my period and they had my order of 4 bags of rainbow cookie pieces ready! I gave them back one bag and ate one in the car like a true savage. but you know what, it was worth it. it's worth it to come here because the women here are amazing and the rainbow cookies are the bomb! I'm from NYC and just love a good rainbow cookie....and this truly hits the spot for me. I plan on ordering their rainbow cookie cake and eating it by myself because I can. Like Joey on Friends, I don't share food. come, get your cookies because you will not be disappointed. I've waited for ages to find a place in NoVA that does Italian cookies correctly & I have finally found the place.

I shall start by saying that I'm not a cannoli fan Lol. It…read morewas a long line during their cannoli palooza event. first time ever getting their cannoli. It was a long line and very slow moving. a bunch of flavors got 86ed as it is close to their 2pm closing time for the event. It seems they have many loyal followers so I might be the outlier in this case. I personally think that the cannoli shell is fried a bit too long or at least the shell is not as delicate as I would like. The flavor from 5 cannolis we got don't have strong profile, very similar in a sense and not as thick as how cannoli filling usually is. The only cannoli I like is from a local Italian deli in MD Gemelli.

I appreciated that the savory pastries were just that and were savory and not overly sweet like some bakeries this style tend to be.

You really can taste the difference due to the organic flour (are the other ingredients organic though?). I recommend the bean flavored donuts or breads. Red bean and green bean.

My favorite out of these flavors were definitely nutella and the snickerdoodle! The other flavors were also good for sure, just some of them were a little bit too sweet for me. There were two gentlemen manning the store when I stopped by, and they were really friendly and helpful when I was trying to figure out how many macarons to buy, and which flavors to get based on what is popular. They were very patient while I tried to figure out what I wanted to get because they have so many different flavors that sound so good. Overall, good service and amazing macarons! I will definitely be back again!

Their smoked salmon sandwich is perfection -- fresh, balanced, and full of flavor. The ambiance (hello, soft jazz and warm colors!) makes you feel instantly relaxed.

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!
