Shilla Patisserie Cafe

"A lovely place to get a meal, snacks, or coffee in the Centreville area This is a hidden gem in Centerville. It is a set of stores on the south side of Lee Highway just to the west of Centreville Road. It is across the parking lot from the Lotte Plaza Market and has lots of parking available. The store’s website has this message, “Since we started baking in our small basement bakery in 1999, we've had one goal: to bake the best-tasting breads, cakes, and pastries.” They have 5 locations in the Virginia and Maryland area. This is a very nice location. It looks like they have 2 storefronts with one dedicated just to open seating with tables set with good spacing. That section is to the left as you enter. It is a very nice and relaxing place to meet someone. The other part (to the right as you enter) has two parts. The first part, closest to the door, is a set of shelves with prepackaged items for purchase. The part farthest from the door is a counter where you can order prepared food and drinks. The staff was very nice, pleasant and helpful. The display case had some of the best-looking cakes I have ever seen. The shelves had different treats that were smaller portions and less expensive. They have a rather extensive drink menu behind the counter on the wall. I got a single treat and a tea. The prices are reasonable for the area and the economy. The service was quick and the atmosphere was nice. Overall, it is a nice place to have a get-together with a friend or meet for business."

"A wide selection of delicious bakery treats and beverages, but personally I come for the bingsu (shaved ice). They offer a dozen delicious bingsu flavors including mango, red bean, and mocha. They offer both the generous bowl size to share with a group, as well as a smaller cup size if you want a quick snack."

"Korean bakery situated in Centreville that I frequent. I particularly enjoy their coffee bing soo. Their bread is well-priced, but I find their cakes to be a bit more expensive compared to other Korean bakeries. However, I can always expect delicious baked goods from them. The bakery also has a good amount of seating available."

"Like other Shilla Paisseries this one did not disappoint us. On a HOT summer day Bingsoo with Mango was a perfect to cool us down. Ample of seating. Staff was super friendly and helped us understand unique desert choices. Bakery as always is one of my favorite to take home goodies."

"Decided to stop by for dessert after eating in the area. We came an hour into closing and we were surprised the number of people still here! I have been coming her for years and the ambiance has not changed much since. Even towards the end of the day, they still had a number of bread and pastries. We got a pasty, bingsoo and a brewed coffee. I appreciate how they offer brewed coffee at this time. While it’s not too special, mostly every other cafe and bakery only have espresso based drinks after 3pm or so. I have noticed the pastry and some of the breads were kind of dense, but it was towards the end of the night. While it is not a new as some of the other cafes, it was still a good way to end the night, with dessert, coffee and good company."
