May as well enjoy their limited summer season for what it's good for - exploring some flavors. They have a lot of options that tend to rotate through as they experiment and some staples. It's worth exploring some different things with cones, dips or other normal options. The space can get very busy in the on season so be ready to queue up. Be patient and just enjoy your visit and the neat walk up.

Stopped by a little before 6pm on a Friday evening and placed our order with a very friendly gentleman who explained the process We tried the following in pint sizes: Cookie Dough Cake Batter Strawberry Lemonade Sorbet Bourbon pecan pie Chocolate brownie All were delicious and freshly packed! I especially loved the cake batter and the strawberry lemonade sorbet! Can't wait to be back in the area to get more and try some different flavors.

We drove up, the door to the shop opened and we were greeted by an INCREDIBLE young man. So much energy! I love it. The ice cream is soooo creamy, maple-glazed chopped pecans in the Bourbon Vanilla ice cream and swirl of goodness, completed our evening.

This froyo spot is honestly one of my go-to places when I want something sweet but not too heavy…read more The shop is quite clean and has a really welcoming vibe, which makes it a nice place to hang out for a bit instead of just grabbing something and leaving. The flavor selection is great. They have a variety of different flavors, so you're bound to find something you like. I tried a tart flavor with fresh fruit, and it was so refreshing. The toppings bar is definitely a highlight too, tons of choices from fresh fruit to candies to sauces, and everything looked well-stocked and fresh. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for a chill dessert spot with lots of options!

My daughter loves froyo and this is the closest store from our house…read more As soon as I stepped inside, I felt warm heat.....too warm for ice cream or yogurt. Sure enough my froyo melted too fast. Some flavors I got made my tongue tingle and numb....made me wonder what's in it. The tables and floor are dirty and the lighting was dingy.....just does not give you an impression of cleanliness.

My favorite ice shop in Nova! I enjoyed it so much with my daughter that I went back the next day…read morewith my son! Delicious ice cream with 20+ flavors with some unique seasonal (Black Sesame, Ube, Italian Ricotta, Horchata, Apple Pie), and boozy adult flavors (Bailey's, Tiramisu, Eggnog, Kahlua). The creamy Bailey's flavor and Tiramisu had a nice boozy kick to it. My favorite flavors include Choco Heaven, Dirty Brownie, Coffee Oreo, Matcha, Super Oreo, Apple Pie, Butterscotch, Cookie Monster, Tiramisu, Bailey's. As it's so hard to land on a flavor, I generally get a split scoop and the flavors pair really well together. The staff is so nice and generous, particularly Ms. Mimi and kindly let me sample more than a few flavors! She was very sweet to my kids and gave them cute panda stickers! The Apple Pie and Butterscotch ice cream flavors were very unique and paired well together. The Choco Heaven is decadent with dark chocolate hazelnut and tastes like a soft Nutella. The Dirty Brownie has chunks of fudge gooey brownies and another rich flavor. The Coffee Oreo tastes like an Oreo Frappuccino and the Oreos soften the bitterness. While the Choco Heaven and Dirty Brownies are very rich, bold flavors, they overpower other flavors. The Coffee Oreo and Tiramisu were a bit in the background and a bit muted. The Matcha and Super Oreo were divine and paired really well together in a split scoop (2 flavors in a single scoop). It's pretty rare to get split scoop now-a-days. The Super Oreo definitely delivered with Oreo cookies in every bite and the Matcha balanced out the sweetness and gave the flavor more depth. The blue Cookie Monster was delicious with chunks of cookies in every bite. Both my kids and I really enjoyed it so much that we went back for another scoop! Excited to come back to try the next line-up of flavors!

We got the single burger meal customized with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, grilled onions, and mustard and a jalepeno burger meal.

We had to get one of each to sample and my favorite was the Freddy's smoky fry sauce.

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.

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.
