My family has ordered an ube cake for my birthday for the past 6 years…read more And each year, I am dumbfounded by how DELICIOUS it is. Light, moist, not overly sweet...I am not exaggerating when I say I could finish the whole cake by myself in 3 days. It's just that good. And the staff always take great care to include the message requested by family. If you love ube, I highly suggest you consider ordering the ube cake from Bakeshop!

I enjoy the McLovin breakfast sandwiches and wash it down with a New Orleans Style coffee. And then will get a slice of PB Nutella pie to take home and eat later. Eventually I'll try the other items but these three are so good that it's hard to not get them every time I visit!

My absolute favorite though is the black sesame latte, it's packed with toasty sesame flavor without being grainy at all. This location in Falls Church will validate your parking, and their service is very quick which helps a lot! I do wish they offered their drinks with a larger variety of sweetness though. Currently their only options are 100%, 50%, and 0%, but even 50% for some of their drinks can be a little too sweet.

The mango syrup added a nice fruity sweetness. The rice mochi was quite plain, chewy, and a bit too large. It didn't really hold onto the ice cream well. The only thing that was weird to me was texture of the ice cream, it was slightly grainy for some reason which is peculiar. I also felt it was a bit expensive for what it was. I've only tried their ice cream and haven't had a chance to try any of their drinks yet.

The ice cream is delicious, and as soon as you walk through the door, there's a small space where…read moreyou can take a look at all the flavors. Since the shop is fairly small and doesn't have much seating, I recommend checking out the flavors posted on the glass door outside so you have an idea of what you want before going in. The staff was also very friendly and proactive. I was debating between two flavors, and they offered to let me try one before deciding. I'm so glad they did because I ended up choosing the other flavor--and it was definitely the right choice! Great ice cream, helpful staff, and a fun little local spot. I'll definitely be back!

I can't speak to the service or ambiance as I ordered delivery, but if you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth this would be a great place!

The music was calming, the beautiful scenery and the space was a large space, way bigger than I thought! We had Diego as our waiter and staff and he's knowledgable, provide great recommendations and also helped us out with many of our requests! Now comes the food: We got a full table of delicious food. 1. The Lorraine quiche : Very crunchy outside and soft and hot with delicious filling inside. I am not a quiche girl but I deff love their quiche. 2. The trios empanahas : i am a true empanada fan and their beef empanas and the sauce mix so well together. 3. The prosciutto pizza was HUGE. Deff can feed 4 people , their crust was crispy and the pizza was not too thick so you don't get bored eating it. 4. The banana foster french toast... HEAVEN. the banana was perfectly camelize and the strawberries and berries was the perfect mix fruit with it and the portion was also huge. 5. Tres les ches Pancakes was hot, crispy but also soft and honestly my FAV out of all the dishes. 6. Wild Salmon and charred peach was an interesting salad. The salmon was cooked to perfection, still moist but a lil crunch outside and large piece . The salad dressing was perfect with it. I would love to eat this one everyday. 7. My first time for the grits. Shrimp and grits was delicious. The portion is large and shrimp was paired perfectly with the grits. I think frits will now be on my daily rotation breakfast thanks to Godfrey. 8. We got a hot matcha because we love matcha and it was delicious! Very creamy and the matcha tasted ceremonial. 9. We also got the blue ridge sandwich, it had delicious camelized onion and based on Diego's suggestion, we switched it out for the sourdough and it was delicious. Sandwich was filled inside. We asked to sit outside for lunch and brunch but you could also sit inside for cafe items like croissant , muffin and coffee. They also have rooms upstairs for big parties that can be reserved through open table. Overall, the experience was amazing and I would not be able to top this birthday brunch anytime soon!

Genuinely OBSESSED with this lovely juice shop! I had never had sugar cane juice before, but when I…read morewalked by this cute little shop and their lovely cart outside displaying every type of fruit imaginable, I knew I had to give it a try. They have a huge selection of drinks, all based on their freshly made sugarcane juice. I just got the classic juice since it was my first time trying sugarcane, but I'll definitely be back to sample some of the other fruity combos. It was delightful -- not too sweet, with notes of honey and an almost floral-like flavor. At $7 a cup, it was definitely pricey, but pretty reasonable for the area as I've also seen plenty of cafes and boba shops charge similar prices for lower quality drinks. The staff was super friendly, and I love that they had one of their juicing machines right next to the register. It was really fun to watch them work, and the machine spit out all the extra sugar cane skins / peelings into a giant wooden bucket that you could take from. The sugarcane had a great aroma, and the peelings are a fun way to keep kids entertained.

It was pretty busy inside but ordering is easy as there are two kiosks you can use to order from. There are options from Pennywort, Che, to Snail and Vietnamese Street food snacks. Once your order and get your order number a worker at the front will yell your order number to pick up. I got the Three Bean Dessert Che. One thing I really like about this Che is the ice they use. I'm used to just having a block of ice on top and having to break it apart but the ice they use here are little squares/blocks which is a nice touch. After mixing everything together the Che overall was pretty good. I don't have any complaints about it. The ambiance inside is pretty nice. They were playing Vietnamese music which is a nice touch. They don't have as many Che options as a Bambu but they make it up for it by having options for other style desserts or food.

We had a great table overlooking King Street, which made for a wonderful setting. We ordered the focaccia, rigatoni, roasted carrots, and more. Everything was delicious and reminded us of classic New York Italian cooking. The chef even came out to greet us, which was a thoughtful touch. We also loved that they offer both dine-in and takeout. We'll definitely be back. Be sure to pay for parking if in the back, there is a parking attendant ready to issue a ticket.

All of the food was fantastic, for appetizers the meatballs and garlic bread stood out for me. The coco joy desert was also absolutely phenomenal it was also vegan which made my lactose intolerant self very happy. The absolute star of the show for me though was the roasted chicken. This entree was one of the best things I have eaten this year, the sauce was a perfectly balanced tangy and herby addition to the crispy chicken. My meals were accompanied by their Sangria and Espresso Martini (which has a decaf option!). The drinks were delicious and they also have an extensive wine list which the rest of my party thoroughly enjoyed. The restaurant is stunning and has a mix of tables and booth seating with lots of natural light streaming in. This is definitely the place to come for a date, girls night or just to treat yourself!
