MANASSAS , Va. -A flight of ice cream for $8? Yes, please!…read moreThis roadside ice cream stand does the job well. Tons of parking lot parking. Plenty of benches around for seating. Numerous soft serve and hand scooped ice cream and shaved ice flavors. The missus and I got a flight of four ice creams on a Monday midday - while brisk business going on, we were served quickly. Each scoop is fairly generous. The blueberry ice cream was a particular standout - very blueberry-ish. We'll definitely be back when in the Manassas area.

Wifey had pecan pecan ice-cream but was a faux de pas. There was no pecan in the butter pecan. My in law had orange sherbet. It was nice outdoor seating. It was a nice afternoon to salivate with ice cream and sherbet. Ice cream and sherbet is a summertime staple and a delight for the kiddos! I could not get a picture of wife's fake butter pecan because it was all eaten up when I started this post. Natan's Dairy Bar was a hit!

One of my favorite matcha spots in the area!! I love the variety of different matcha treats from…read moredrinks to soft serve to floats! The interior is also super cute and a great chill spot to hang out with friends or even study. We got the ube/matcha soft serve and the matcha latte float. Both were super yummy! The matcha flavor in the soft serve/float was perfect as someone who likes matcha with a bit of earthy/bitterness and more sweet taste. It might not be to everyone's liking though! Ube flavor was also super solid too! If you're craving matcha, this is definitely a great spot to go to!!

Service was quick! Small little cafe, it gets busy. There's seating and tables. We got their matcha…read morelattes. The flavor was yummy, pretty sweet; however, the matcha quality is not "premium" or high quality. Better than some places I've been to, but not impressive. I've been trying all the strawberry matchas in the DMV, and this spot will not be a regular for me. We ordered: Strawberry matcha 3/5 Passion fruit matcha 3/5 Overall, I might come back to try their desserts, but not for strawberry matchas. Price: $15 for two drinks

I have visited Siroo a few times now for their Korean street food and shaved ice. This past…read moreweekend, I brought my family along to eat their Injeolmi bingsoo and strawberry bingsoo. The process is straightforward. You order at the front counter and they give you a number, then call you up when the order is ready. My parents really appreciate the Injeolmi bingsoo as it completely satisfied their cravings without being overly sweet, which is exactly how they like it. The strawberry bingsoo was loaded with fresh strawberries, chewy pieces of rice cake, some corn flakes and a drizzle of condensed milk. Both were good choices to cool down after a hot and spicy meal!

I see what other reviews are saying, they are a bit slow at getting the food out. You don't interact with the staff since it's kiosk based. They call your food order # and you pick it up. We ordered: Strawberry matcha latte 3/5 Passion fruit matcha latte 3/5 Fluffy strawberry pancakes 3/5 Karrage onigiri 5/5 Salmon onigiri 2/5 Beef curry onigiri 4/5 The pancakes were fairly good, but there were big chunks with only egg whites in the middle. Not sure what happened, but our pancakes tasted more like eggs than pancakes lol. Overall I'll go back and give it another shot, the pancakes were probably an off day. The onigiris were all pretty good. The matchas were great flavors but not quality grade. The ambiance is casual and there's tons of cute anime art on the wall.

Everything definitely tasted homely and delicious, with a clean flavor. All of the items were amazing and we are definitely looking to go back. In fact, we are cake tasting for a wedding and this bakery is a top contender out of 6 different Asian bakeries we've been to. The interior is quaint and was decently sized. There were some paintings from a local artist on sale hanging in the walls! It's a really calm place on the inside, the only downside is that it is located right off the road, like RIGHT off the road and I almost missed the lot going in.

Went to Jireh Bakery Cafe this past weekend and had a mostly good experience. The service was…read moregreat--I asked if they could split two full-size Thai tea boba drinks in half for my little ones, and they happily did it with no hesitation. Even with four cups, they still filled mine generously, which I really appreciated. The disappointment came once we started drinking. It honestly tasted like milk with unsweetened boba. I don't mind if the boba isn't sweet as long as the drink has enough flavor, but in this case, the milk flavor was overpowering, and the tea was barely noticeable. We also ordered a bean pastry, which was surprisingly delicious! It was sweet, and if you didn't know it was made with beans, you probably wouldn't even notice. Overall, I'd be open to going back. I'm not sure if the overly milky flavor was a fluke from splitting the drinks or if that's just their usual recipe. The café itself is cute with cozy vibes. It's right off a main road (Route 29). Parking is available on the side and in the back, and there's a decent amount of seating. Just note they close at 9 PM, so if you're looking for a late-night café spot, this may not be the best option.
