I usually get the passion fruit and mango but this time I got blue raspberry and orange. $6 dollars per cup and a $1 added to each topping desired. The service is always friendly and efficient.

Fortunately, there is a Wells Fargo two minutes down the road so I didn't have to give up on my dreams of a cold fresh snow cone. Seems like they are back for their spring season!!! I can't wait to go back and I will bring the family :) Very affordable $4 a snow cone with up to 3 flavors to mix. I opted for the coconut, tamarindo, and pineapple. I also got the condensed milk on top (which I heard was a MUST and it absolutely was worth every drop) and I also added the sour tamarindo jalea on top. I wouldn't recommend them both together but separately they are both scrumptious. The tamarindo is sour! So be prepared if you like tart or sour this is for you!! My boyfriend opted for the strawberry, coconut, and passion fruit. It's true that they make their own flavors I witnessed it! There are pieces of legit fruit in them!! So delicious and unlike a classic snow cone. Each is prepared diligently with a tried and true process to get the right shape and packing of the snow particles properly. Service was very friendly and helpful and Quick! One size only and it was gone pretty quick so delicious!!! Worth it and allll the hype. We will return this weekend :)

Finally got to try the local favorite for ice cream! We got…read morethe ice cream flight--you can choose 4 flavors. We went with the daily specials: Cookie Monster, Funfetti, FlufferNutter, and Cow Tripping. With tax, it was $8.25. Pricing is quite good compared to other ice cream establishments. Line was pretty long but we got our ice cream after 25 minutes of standing in line--it took 5 minutes once our order was placed to get our order. Nice staff and there is a bathroom onsite but you have to ask so they can let you in. Cookie Monster: Definitely get if you love a good amount of cookie in your ice cream. Such a fun blue color! Funfetti: The birthday cake flavor isn't too strong but it came with a reasonable amount of sprinkles. FlufferNutter: The peanut butter was more apparent in their chunks than the ice cream itself. It was quite nutty overall, but not too in your face. Cow Tripping: I was hoping it would be my favorite since it is chocolate with Reese's pieces, but it didn't have much Reese's. Good chocolate ice cream though.

By the time we finished eating, the line was more than double than when we first got there. We will definitely go back but maybe on a weekday coz that line was cray cray.

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!!

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

The interior now feels more organized and less cluttered, creating a cleaner ambiance. It is decorated with Korean cultural objects such as porcelain and traditional dolls. Service was excellent, with friendly staff, and overall, the atmosphere feels more positive than before. The beef bibimbap was well-made, affordable, healthy, and flavorful; it included sweet chili paste (gochujang) for the rice, kimchi, pickled radish, and a small soup. Utensils were stored in a drawer beneath the table, just like in Korean restaurants in Korea.

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 didn't like how eggy it was, it didn't taste like a dessert to me. But I loved how soft the peach was! The service was good, you can order via kiosk or in person.

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.

I live near this location and have always wanted to stop in, so I was happy to finally have the chance. I like that they offer a wide array of fresh Korean inspired baked goods on their shelves, but also offer breakfast and lunch items to order. My friend and I both ordered a panini which came with a side of potato chips. They also have a coffee bar with seasonal flavors. Their pumpkin spiced latte is one of the best I've had in Centreville so far. The interior is spacious and clean. There were plenty of tables to accommodate groups of all sizes. There were a couple of inconveniences, however. First, the business can really only be accessed from Route 29 westbound. You would have to do a U-turn over a multi-lane highway or drive to the a nearby intersection to safely access the business. Second, there was no publicly accessible ramp to reach the front door. My friend and I had to lift up my baby's stroller up a couple of steps to enter. It wasn't a huge deal for us personally, but this would be a major accessibility barrier to others. Overall the food and coffee was fantastic and I would visit here again.

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.

I waited for the person in front of me to get their order then placed mine: teriyaki combo (shrimp and steak) with plain white rice. The person who took my order offered to make fried rice without egg if I wanted since I asked about the egg, which I thought was a nice offer. When my order was ready I thought it smelled so good! I was excited to get home and dig in. When I did get home and dug in, I found that the shrimp was very flavorful but the steak was not. Plenty of food but if I got it again, definitely sticking with just shrimp.
