    Such a homey traditional tea house! It felt perfectly cultured for my need to feel I've traveled…read morelol. The service was lovely - the server/host had the brightest sweetest smile he was the best. We ordered online as required...the menu here was extensive omg shockingly. I had no idea what to try so I went with a yummy frappe kind of drink which was super delicious. You can sit on the floor or at tables here and I can imagine really nice wellness events here. Great for business meetings, coworking environment, family. Go, enjoy!!!

    TLDR: Great quality and unique flavors, especially the Thai tea and banana espresso bingsuu, but…read morethe higher prices may make this more of an occasional treat. Soricha really surprised me with the quality! You can tell they're passionate about their craft, as every item feels thoughtfully prepared. I also loved the cute shelf featuring their personal collection of teacups, which added a nice touch to the space. They also had cute art around. The bingsu is definitely shareable, both of the bingsuus we got were rich in flavor and came with generous toppings. The sparkling coffee, however, wasn't quite as sparkly as I expected The injeolmi latte was a little disappointing because it doesn't come with espresso, which I didn't realize when ordering. I ended up paying an additional $2.20 for espresso. That said, I would recommend adding it because it really helped round out the drink. The server was quick to bring it out after I asked about the lack of coffee. My biggest hesitation is the price. The iced latte came out to around $12 after tax and tip, so I'll probably only come back occasionally. Still, the unique flavor combinations and overall quality might be enough to bring me back for another treat.

    I have been coming to breeze since I moved to Annandale in 2011. I've always loved the whimsical…read moredecorations and enjoy the Korean baked goods. 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! And while it's prob not made in-house, I do love the red bean buns. Bathrooms are always clean and the upstairs is great for a longer chat with a friend, time in a book, or board or card game time. They also have a lovely upstairs covered porch for pretty days.

    Went in for the mango snow, but they were out of the mangoes. Decided to try the yogurt snow and…read morealso got a chocolate chip brownie plus an upside down pineapple cake. 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.

    OMG!! Are you ready for the best and freshest desserts ever???!! We have been to this Tous Les…read moreJours several times and are always impressed. Right now, they are running a BOGO 1 Free deal after a certain evening time. This is such a good deal for these pastries. The employees are always friendly and nice. This time, we ordered a Blueberry Yogurt Cloud Cake for our friend's birthday. This was one of the best cake's I've ever had!! It was STUFFED with blueberries, had a crisp yogurt taste, and was not overly sweet at all. If I didn't have to share? If I didn't have to share, I would've had more pieces LOL. It is a little pricey but WORTH IT!!!!!!! The cafe atmosphere here is super cool and spacious.

She deserves more than this cake- but this cake is going to have to do! Along with some other goodies!!! The strawberry cloud cake is delicious and not too sweet!! And of course I had couldn't walk through and leave without getting something for myself!!!!!! That Churro Doughnut twist was delicious!!!! I'm sitting here mad because I didn't get 2!!!! Hahahaaa! The other sweets: strawberry cloud doughnut, raisin twist, I ended up giving to my better half...I felt guilty over doing my guilty pleasures.

I usually love having brownie with my ice cream and while I was at the register, the gentleman working there heard me talking about how much I was missing the brownie. He actually called me back and gave me some brownie on the house! Such a thoughtful and kind gesture. Everyone was so nice and friendly. You can really feel the care they put into their shop and their customers. I will definitely be coming back!

    Mimi's Handmade Ice Cream is AMAZING!! They have such a unique variety of flavors that you don't…read moreusually see at other ice cream places. I also got to meet the owner and she was seriously the sweetest and so kind. The inside is also super cute and has such a nice atmosphere. I got the raspberry and lychee sorbets together, and WOW such a refreshing combination. If you like sorbets I would highly recommend getting these two together. They were seriously delicious. I also tried the Apple Pie and Thai Ice Tea flavors. The Thai Ice Tea wasn't overly sweet, which I loved and you could really taste the thai tea flavor. The apple pie tasted exactly like an apple pie, just creamier in an ice cream form. Everything was so good, and the whole experience was great. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Mosaic area!
