    This is honestly one of the cutest spots to chill and hang. I keep thinking this is where I'd sit for hours with friends. We usually get the bingsoo, but I tried their magnolia tea and loved it.

    Match strawberry bingsoo
    Vanessa N.

    We came here for the bingsoo and were surprised by the variety of unique flavors, including mugwort and roasted dandelion. This is the first place we have been where you can customize the sweetness of the bingsoo (50%). You can ask for small bowls to share the big bowl of bingsoo. The atmosphere features a traditional Korean aesthetic, including 1 table where the party sits on the floor.

    We had a hankering for bingsoo on a HOT summer day and found ourselves at Soricha. What a cozy and interesting place! When you walk in, there's a little stage for performances, and it also looks a little like a museum because there are pieces of classical Korean furniture scattered about. But regardless, the bingsoo was legit (and huge). We ordered the Korean Injeol-mi Bing-soo, shaved ice with corn flakes, sliced almonds, soybean powder and vanilla ice cream, topped with condensed milk and a small dollop of sweet red bean paste. And the bowl was enormous! Perfectly cold, sweet, powdery, and crunchy, just what we were looking for. This place has all kinds of teas and drinks, which we didn't try - but if you're looking for bingsoo, you can't do much better than Soricha!

    ANNANDALE, Va. - The missus and I went for bing-soo. We could've brought a third or fourth person with us; it's a bit pricey ($26) but you get a lot of bing-soo. Nice bright, airy space; very helpful staff. Plenty of seating. The menu says the bing-soo takes 15 min, but ours was out in 7-8. Biiiig. Very pretty presentation. Tasty. The roasted dandelion bing-soo had a coffee-ish flavor. Half sweetness level was plenty sweet. We'll be back, for sure. Overalls very nice, 4.33-star experience.

    Soricha Tea & Theater: Date of Visit: 3.28.2026 Location: Annandale Cuisine Type: Korean Cafe Vibe: Chill Cost: $$ Service: Simple Food/ Rating: -5/5- The ice is not fine it is icy but the flavor and mix of texture makes this shaved ice a repeat spoonful. Its chocolate, corn flakes, and some kinda tea? Overall Thoughts: Best Thing I ate: Only had the shaved ice Something to Improve: I think if you can make the ice finer that'll be amazing but the flavor is already onpoint

    Red bean bingsoo

    This cafe stands out for their ambiance and menu selection. The ambiance is serene every time I visit. There is a tea theater inside, and wooden tables and chairs for seating. In the back there's a shop for some traditional tea sets and accessories. There is a QR on each table to order through mobile. Simple to use and useful for seeing what each drink looks like and their descriptions. Service is quick. They have many traditional Korean drink flavors here that I haven't seen in many cafes locally. The flavors of the drinks are good, and are often served in aesthetic cups. The bingsoo was good, but overpriced. There are equally yummy or yummier bingsoos in Annandale and Centreville for less. The main downside at this cafe is the pricing. It's definitely steep for a coffee shop. I'd recommend coming when friends visit town or special occasion, but not worth it coming regularly for tea in such a competitive location with many other options.

    Absolutely wonderful!! Annandale's Soricha is one of the DMV's best and most unique dessert and tea cafes. They're best known for their bingsoo, or Korean shaved ice, which is perfectly fluffy and delightful, with a sweet, milky flavor that acts as a great canvas for all their toppings. You can't go wrong with of their bingsoo options, but they do run a little bit large and are meant for 2-3 people to share. If you're in the mood for something smaller, they do have a delightful selection of other desserts, chief among which is their rice paper waffle. This glorious confection is a super light, crispy waffle made entirely out of rice paper (which, as a side bonus, also means it's gluten-free). It's slightly chewy on the inside but generally incredibly crunchy and airy. It comes topped with a lovely rice-based syrup that tastes a bit savory -- almost malty -- and black sesame. You can also just get a scoop of their rich, creamy ice cream (instead of the shaved ice that it normally comes on top of), and it will be topped with a generous helping of red bean paste, injeolmi powder, sliced almonds, and corn flakes. The combination of flavors and textures levels up this humble little scoop to a full-scale dessert with sweet, savory, and nutty notes. Aside from their sweet treats, Soricha also has a bunch of fun drinks. They have a long menu of expertly brewed artisan teas, or you can also cool down with one of their refreshing fruit mixes. The omija berry refresher is particularly lovely, with a great balance of tart and sweet flavors that make it the perfect summertime drink. Beyond the food, the service is also super friendly and quick, and the cafe is gorgeously decorated with chill, relaxing ambient music. It's a delightful place to hang out with a friend to chat, finish some work, or do a bit of reading. I will note, however, that it is quite expensive -- the bingsoo is about $20, and the teas are a minimum of $7. It's so worth it every time, but it's definitely more of an occasional treat than an everyday indulgence.

    Anna C.

    This is a place that makes you feel like you are drinking warmth and the feeling of home in every cup or bite. It's consistently packed but the service is warm, considerate, and friendly! I know it can be a mad dash to want to get your drinks and dessert quickly, but these types of drinks are meant to be sipped and savored. And it's worth the wait. It's filled with Korean Culture and there are tables like at a traditional tea house or regular seating! This is one of my favorites to visit and introduce others to!

    Lemon Mango Bingsoo
    Michelle W.

    Soricha Tea is such cute place and has a cozy atmosphere. Great spot to relax or hang out with friends. I came with 3 friends and we shared the lemon mango bingsoo for $26. It was a bit of expensive but large portion to share with all of us. The bingsoo was perfectly fluffy shaved ice with fresh toppings. After eating it was a while the flavor was too sour for us and we didn't taste much mango. Will come back to try other flavors.

    Black sesame bingsoo
    Camilla W.

    Soricha is a great place to hang out with friends and relax over dessert or tea. It's more of a chill, social spot rather than somewhere you'd come to work or study. We came here after dinner for something refreshing and ordered the black sesame bingsoo. Easily one of the best bingsoo I've had--the flavor was actually infused into the ice shavings instead of just being toppings on a bowl of plain ice. It also came with a scoop of ice cream and extra toppings, which made it even better. It is on the pricier side (about $37 with tax and tip), but since it was shareable among five people, it felt worth it. The interior is nicely decorated with thoughtful cultural touches, and bonus points for having a parking lot, which makes visiting a lot more convenient.

    Cute and theatrical tea shop! The owner is an avid tea collector, and there are several certificates displayed on the wall. You can also buy teaware if you're interested -- there's an array of items to choose from! I tried the Iced Earl Grey Tea and the Iced Green Tea + Coffee Cube Latte, which was delicious. I'll definitely be back to try more drinks!

    Lemon & mango bingsu
    Anh T.

    Menu items were quite overpriced. $26 for bingsoo was surprising. The ambiance was very nice, and the staff were attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. The bingsoo itself was decent, but not particularly memorable and definitely not worth the price point.

    Taz M.

    This Korean shaved ice spot is beautifully set up -- warm, cozy, and very welcoming. The atmosphere alone makes it a lovely place to relax with friends. They also have an amazing collection of teas, which is a dream for any tea lover. I came specifically craving bingsoo, and while it was beautifully presented, I found the portion to be extremely large. It's great for sharing, but it does make it hard for groups to try different flavors since one bowl fills everyone up. I shared with my friends, though the flavor they chose wasn't quite for me. It tasted a bit powdery, which may just be how that flavor is meant to be, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy it. My friends thought it was okay and said they'd be open to coming back to try a different flavor next time. worth a visit, especially if you already know what you'd love to order from the menu.

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!

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.
