I got chocolate on my new pants because the chair was not cleaned and when I informed them about the incident, they just looked at me and asked if I was sure it was from there. I cleaned the seat myself and was surprised by the attitude and their reactions! read more

One of my girlfriends gifted me cupcakes from Pastry Xpo and brought it to our picnic. She knows how much I love cupcakes, so it was the perfect present. What made it even better was how delicious the cupcakes were! I'm usually not a fan of chocolate cake, but the chocolate fudge was the best chocolate cake I've had in a long time. She also got the strawberry cake, which was incredibly tasty as well. read more

I came in here, looking for a birthday cake. What I left with was a tart. And it was tasty! It was described as an apricot almond tart. I think it could've been a little bit more flavorful on the almond side. The tart was pretty good buttery, but perhaps a tiny bit over overcooked. I really like the apricots they were tender and flavorful, and the fresh blueberries were a great touch. I also ordered an espresso over ice, which was tasty. The box was presented nicely. I would go back and try some other things. read more

I love their cakes and muffins! Their "Alexandria" cake is so so good, as well as the white forest cake that is super moist and delicate with a delicious, airy, and not-too-sweet cream. I didn't care for the random bits of fruit cocktail baked into the sponge and I wish the white chocolate flavor was stronger, but I still enjoyed it. Their muffins are some of the best muffins I've ever had - moist, cake-like, and flavorful. I'd pass on the chocolate croissant - it was hard, not flaky, and the filling was bitter. Nonetheless, I'm excited to try their other beautiful desserts! read more

I've been going to XPO for several years now, and after the last two, I had to finally leave a review. This place is such a gem! The decor gives off a Parisian vibe--charming, cozy, and perfect for catching up with a friend or enjoying a quiet moment with coffee and a pastry. Speaking of pastries, they're amazing. I'm a big fan of their eclairs, mango coconut cheesecake, fruit tarts--you really can't go wrong. They also serve great coffee with a solid variety of options. I usually go for an Americano, but their specialty drinks like the Queen Bee, pistachio latte, and tiramisu coffee are definitely worth trying. Bonus: if you have a high caffeine tolerance like me, this place is perfect--the drinks are strong and satisfying. A lovely little spot tucked away in Mosaic. Highly recommend! read more

Cute pastry shop. They have a display case with several types of pastries and cakes and they also serve speciality drinks as well. I got the pistachio latte which was good- a little strong on the espresso. And the blueberry apple tart which was nice. Service was good and it wasn't super busy on a Saturday afternoon. There is a decent amount of seating inside. Both items came out to $16 read more

We went there with my kids to enjoy some cupcakes, but we were told that they no longer make them. It was really disappointing because they were some of the best cupcakes I've ever had. I don't understand why they were removed from the menu. Please consider bringing them back--we'd love to enjoy them again! read more

Great Italian pastry and coffee shop right in the Mosaic area. Friendly and familial staff. There is a decent amount of seating which makes it a good place to sit and chat while you have your coffee. Prices are a little on the high side - I paid $6 for a croissant which is more than many other spots nearby. read more

[November 2024] A friend of mine has been raving about this place. We were in the area celebrating her birthday and stopped by after dinner. We got there right before closing so I took my cupcake to go. The next day, I tried a lick of icing (good) and a bite of the cupcake (decent -- my husband ate the rest, so I assume it was fine.) I prefer a more moist cupcake and this wasn't it. Perhaps it was already a day old. Not sure, but I'd give it another try if I'm ever back in the area. __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish read more

Pastry Xpo has an excellent selection of delicious desserts/pastries. The location is directly across from the Target parking garage in the Mosaic district, so very easy to park and walk over. The space is very clean and welcoming. There are tables for seating inside. We were greeted by staff behind the counter as soon as we walked in. I knew I wanted an eclair and a latte, but was blown away by the sheer number of pastries, cakes and cookies. They even have several varieties of eclairs. We decided to get a Boston cream eclair, Nutella eclair and dubai chocolate truffle along with a pair of lattes (pistachio and regular). Everything was really tasty and the portion size was perfect. The Boston cream eclair reminded me of a similar pastry from my favorite bakery growing up as a kid in Maine. Great core memory unlocked on my birthday. Pistachio latte was perfect. The staff were all friendly and patient while we tried to choose from so many delightful desserts. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great experience! read more

Amazing desert and coffee shop hidden in Mosiac district! Such a wide variety of tarts from some Latin varieties to French to Middle Eastern! The service was friendly, polite, and knowledgeable to recommend items and offer good pairings of drinks. Inside there are plenty of tables and a little bit of sunny outdoor seating too. I would definitely come back to try more of their pastries and would highly recommend this spot for beautiful large cakes as well. read more

I got a 6 pack of the chocolate pastries for my gluten free friend and a pastacio tart for my vegan friend will definitely be back! I forgot to take pic! I'll do better next time! read more

Ventured here after picking up my juices from Pressed. A cute little coffee pastry shop hidden down a side street within the Mosaic District. I love this shopping center- so many options. This coffee shop was clean, and full of yummy treats in the pastry case. I wanted to try everything but settled for a coffee and Almond Croissant. My coffee was delicious...not too sweet! Tasted more coffee flavor with just a hint of pistachio. As for my croissant- I'll have to update my review after I actually try it. lol after I make my way to the gym. The cashier was welcoming and friendly. Very patient with me and my indecisiveness. I will definitely come back here for a coffee fix if I'm ever in the area. From cookie, cupcakes to macaroons or even a whole cake- this place offers an excellent variety of tasty treats! Can't wait to venture back for a cheat treat! Happy Yelping! read more

Surveying the Mosaic District yielded this pastry cafe, which had an impressive spread. I wasn't all about the drinks, but I struggled to limit myself to two pastries. I exceeded that limit to add some hummus and pita chips, which are not pastries but were of high quality. I'll have more hummus than chips, but that lemony-flavored goodness with fresh chickpeas on top will be fine with something else. My German chocolate cake was high on coconut and the chocolate hazelnut dome quite nutty. Both were rich, neither was excessively sweet. The price was quite high, but clearly the quality was as well. read more

We came here on a chilly, rainy day. This has been our go-to spot after lunch/dinner at mosaic. The staff was very friendly and patient when we were ordering. Since everything is behind the counter (unlike my other go-to bakeries), it's harder to decide what I want!! This time, everything I ordered was different from what I usually order from here. I went a little nuts and ordered the pistachio latte with oat milk, a slice of carrot cake and a crème brûlée...my favorite dessert. I think it's safe to say this is when my love for pistachio lattes started....it was just a dreamy drink. The carrot cake was good...it was a switch from the cupcakes I usually get from here. The crème brûlée was good as well, not the best I've ever had. Would I return? Of course, when I'm in the area!!! read more

After 4 years since my original review, they did not improve at all. However, they are very conveniently located, I still go there occasionally. 1. Service: 2 stars at best. If service and having positive interaction is important for you to enjoy a cake or a tart, this place is NOT for you. They are terrible, always rushing despite no one else behind me, mean in tone and body language is obvious to let you know that they are not happy to have me. I hate this place for that. 2. Bakery items: 4 stars. There is literally nothing I hadn't tried before. - Peach and blueberry tart: very good - eclairs: hit and miss. sometimes good and sometimes terrible. I think it is because they sell the previous day items and it gets sour over time and if you happen to buy that time, you get screwed. - opera cake: decent 3. Tea selection is limited and not the best kind. All in all, it is a coin toss every time to come here, you may get a nicer item or you may get an old item and hate it here. It all depends on your luck. No consistency. read more

I've been coming to Pastry Xpo for years and it stays consistent with the quality of pastries as well as great customer service! I always love grabbing an eclair and a fruit tart as my go-tos. Sometimes I try a new cupcake and they are always so good! There always seems to be enough seating every time I come here too even if there are many customers. I guess they are taking things to go mostly. Overall highly recommend! read more

Pastry Xpo is a French-Lebanese dessert shop that specializes in a variety of unique and diverse desserts in the Mosaic District. You pick your pastries and they are packaged by a cashier behind the cases. There are plenty of tables to dine in the shop or it's a great place for take out. The desserts are packaged well and there's a plethora of options to please a wide range of palates. The white forest cake and Alexandria were decadent and not too sweet. My parents - who aren't fans of desserts - enjoyed them. The tiramisu was a bit dry because of the cocoa powder but was a good size and had a nice coffee flavor. The desserts were a bit expensive but they photograph well and the ambiance inside of the shop makes for a good experience. I'd go back to try a few more options. read more

Pastry Xpo is my mango tart and Chocolate Sea Salt w/ Caramel filling and icing Cupcake, Go-To craving desert bakery and Cafe. I used to study here and I've ate here since they opened years ago. I shop at Target in Mosaic District and on my way out or whenever aim nearby and have money and sweet tooth cravings, I walk right in here at Pastry Xpo. They have a loyalty membership, but I don't know if they have points rewarding system anymore?? Wi-Fi here is FREE ; so is the 15 minute maximum parallel two parking spaces, but are very limited and usually occupied. The tarts are divine and the entire order to take glass display Buffett counter has so many choices. I've tried their truffle it's amazing as well! I like the seating dine-in space and layout. It's spacious, but not enough space to bring my kids City Jogger strollers through. If they added a rich chocolate and coffee and cappuccino cake layer here to order I'd probably be here once or twice a week. They're one of the best bakeries here in Falls Church/ Merrifield Fairfax NoVA parameters. read more

Pastry Xpo has the best Cup cakes and pastry in town. Their food is good as well. Kitchen is open till 3:00 pm . Service is really good also. It's a cozy place which gets really crowded ; they should enforce time limit on how long people can occupy the tables. Majority of people come and get one thing and stay for hours using WiFi. The store is losing business because of these people. Lots of people come in and want to sit but there is no room. read more

Outstanding/delicious soujouk sandwich, and super apple/almond pastry. Plus robust cappuccino, and great service. Yay!

Recently got some cupcakes and coffee from pastry xpo and was not disappointed. The coffee was delicious and fresh. The cupcakes were moist and flavorful. Decor of the cupcakes was cute which added a great flare to the delicious cupcake! Didn't have the chance to try some of the other dessert options but definitely want to go back to get some more treats. Parking available in the mosaic area as well as a few street parking options right in front if youre lucky. read more

I have been coming to Pastry Xpo for years with mom. It's our favorite place to get cupcakes! The favors are so good. The cake is so fluffy and moist and the frosting is not too sweet or buttery, but perfect! I love to get the Sea Salt Caramel cupcake, Red Velvet, and Strawberry! I like how Pastry Xpo has so many flavors, something for everyone! Not only do they have cupcakes, but they also have many other pastries that look so good! Inside of Pastry Xpo is a modern style cafe that has many tables. Service is quick and the employees are friendly. Love this place! read more

When you walk in you see cute cafe tables, there's quaint music playing, and glass windows with all sorts of beautiful desserts. Their fresh pastries are always amazing! You just have to get there early before they sell out. My absolute favorite is the Nutella twist. Their lattes and coffee are also quite good. During our first visit, they forgot one coffee and gave us a hot latte instead of an iced, which we requested. However, ever since that first visit they've gotten the orders correct. My boyfriend and I love their tiramisu specialty drink. It's sort of meant to be like an espresso milkshake. Many people seem to expect it to be maybe an iced blended coffee and are surprised by the texture given the lady fingers, but keep in mind it's more of a dessert milkshake type of drink. I wish they offered it in a much bigger size, I'd gladly pay more for a bigger cup! One day I'll definitely want to try their breakfast meals like the shakshuka or get hummus to take home. Otherwise, we are happy customers of Pastry Xpo! read more

I really can't imagine how I didn't finish my review about Pastry Xpo! This place gained and earned my trust in between a large selection of pastry shops! A fierce competition ! And even that it's 25-30 minutes away from me they still won my number one choice for pastry and specifically for Gifts! Whenever I visit someone, and the choice is for taking a dessert or something sweet then the winner is PASTRY XPO !!! In fact that's not the only way you can enjoy them at all! It's a very nice cafe at the heart of Mosiac ! One of a kind place that you can go just to enjoy a nice dessert with coffee! Hungry? Oh they got you as well! With very delicious menu! Not just with savory pastries like ham & Swiss pastry but with also sandwiches, salads , soups and dishes! I'm trying the Ratatouille today! Mmmmm , it's wonderful! Now let's talk OPTIONS & VARIETIES!! * Full Cakes? Available !! But every pastry shop has that! But not as delicious! * Gateaux ?? That's what I think that makes them UNIQUE! No pastry shop in the whole area has that amount of Gateaux and if they do, not as tasty not even close in quality and creativity!! * Kids Cake Pops? More yummy and valuable than the Starbucks one! * Cup Cakes?? Well! The ones you have been eating before everywhere isn't actually CupCake! These ones are actually the CupCake!!! Enjoy! Now let's talk CUSTOMER SERVICE! which as we all know can take any business up in the sky or put it down to deep s.... No need to say that on a dessert review lol ! You know what I mean! The customer service here actually take your way high up beyond the sky! People who treat you with smile! Understand your needs! Know what a gift should look like! They don't get surprised and shocked by special request and instead they listen proactively, ask questions , explain what they can do and what they can't and why? And finally they escalate to manager or owner to make sure of their final answer and give you hope! I say that because I had multiple requests for events and occasions and I was always happy ! If the owner is there , Ms Samar then you're very lucky! You will know why when you meet her! :) .... Very nice lady! Her character is in engraved in her business and that's why I love this place because this place is as wonderful and generous as her! The Cafe itself is nice and it's very nice place to meet friends and family! They use illy coffee and they make wonderful Espresso drinks hot or iced! Try the Tiramisu for a wonderful unique iced drink! Or the nitro cold brew! Go give it a try and as usual ( if you're a follower ;) ) and don't forget to .... Pray for me ;) read more

Awesome bakery in Mosaic. We stopped by in the afternoon after walking around the area just to take a look but the baked goods looked so good that we had to order something to try.

Super flaky and buttery with a delicious pistachio filling. Will definitely be back read more

I went back for the pistachio cake (Alexandria) for my dad's birthday. I planned to take to Nj and the guy talked me through options of pickup refrigeration, freezing, storing, etc. he was super nice in the phone and gave great tips. When I picked up the cake, I picked up 3 cupcakes for a small dinner party that evening. I had just purchase a fancy Christmas serving plate and cupcakes would show it off. Rocky road cupcake: Amazing!!!! it looked so innocent like a chocolate cupcake with white icing. Nooooo it was a burst of flavor! The peanut flavor came through a as well as the marshmallow. Dulce de Leche cupcake: Also good. Creamy and crunchy combo was nice. Cake part was good. Loved the big dollop of dulce de le he in the middle. Eggnog cupcake: Very good but more ordinary. Would definitely get cupcakes here again and try new flavors. read more

We ordered a Vanilla Grand Marnier Buche de Noel for Christmas dinner this year. It looked gorgeous and we were excited to give it a try. It was a little on the expensive side, $64.00 approx, but we've had good things from there in the past and we were looking forward to it. It was completely inedible, after one bite we simply threw I in the trash, such disappointment from a wonderful bakery. I just let it go and forgot about it. Today I was reminded about it so I gave the bakery a call. I have never been responded to with such hostility. The owner was rude condescending, that's not how to treat your customers. read more

This place has a very cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The display of assorted of pastries, cupcakes, macarons, and cake slices as well as whole cakes were overwhelming. I wanted to try everything but I only made 3 selections. The tiramisu was very good. The apple turnover was delicious and love the buttery crust. It would be better if it was heated and served with ice cream. The Alexandria was a little too sweet but still tasty. They also served assorted beverages as well. The staff was friendly and helpful.
