Ive been to this Shilla Bakery for years now. Like everyone else, I enjoy their assortment of baked goods, desserts, cakes, bingsoos, and drinks. They usually have lots of samples to try and everything is decently priced and yummy enough. Every year for my parents birthdays or mine, I get a cake here (or from nearby Breeze Bakery). The cakes are also good. I like Asian cakes (mousse/chiffon/sponge/cream cakes with fruit toppers) much more than American cakes with their overly artificial flavors. Asian cakes are much lighter and dont have that sweet artifical flavoring, which agrees with my sadly slowing metabolism these last few years. Shilla makes chocolate chiffon, yellow sponge, green tea, chocolate cream, etc - most of them have strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, raspberries, and other fruits on top. They even make cakes shaped like pig faces, roses, and other cute shapes and figures. And if you tell them its for a birthday, theyll put the cake into a nice, sturdy box, throw in a plastic knife, and some tall candles for you. A bit expensive for a cake (ranging around ~$19-30 depending on which cake you get), but I rather get one of these cakes than your typical American grocery store-bought sheet cake. Now, the bingsoos. I discovered bingsoos here and really liked their assortment of various bingsoos. My favorite is probably green tea (Im a green tea addict), but the yogurt, strawberry, and red bean are all good too. As for boba, Im not really a big fan of their boba because its not really boba to me, its more like frozen slushies. I like my bobas to be the traditional liquid bubble tea with tapoica, not frozen. These bobas do not hold a candle to the ones in Rockville and certainly are no rivals to those in California. I will say that I did enjoy my green tea latte though. One thing I highly do not recommend eating is their macarons. I ate two out of curiosity and boy was that a mistake! The macarons were hard, the outershell separates, and they tasted stale. UGHH do not eat these! One significant drawback to this Shilla is that it gets pretty busy in the evenings and on weekends - understandably since its one of the only places open past 10pm on weekdays in the DC suburbs. Driving in this small plaza is sometimes a nightmare when it gets really busy, so I try not to go when its "rush hour" here. 3.5 stars. Worth coming back every now and then to get some goodies and meet up with friends.

불 친절한 직원들, 인사 안하는것, 손님들한테 전혀 미소짓지 않는것은 당연한 곳입니다. 심지어는 아무말도 안합니다.에난데일 신라베이커리... 그냥 좋은게 좋은거라고 그냥 넘어가고 싶었지만 꼭 다른 분들께 알리고 반성좀 하라는 뜻에서 제가 격은 많은 일중 한가지를 공개 합니다. 크고 무섭게 생긴 여자직원...좀 어이 없는 일을 당했습니다. 제가 계산대에 돈을 내기 위해 빵을 올려놓았습니다. 그 무서운 얼굴 소유자는 인사는 커녕 아무말하지 않고 계산기만 두들겼습니다. 서로 아무말 안하고 10초정도가 흘렸습니다. 얼마를 내야할지 말해주는게 상식 아닙니까? 어이가 없었지만 제가 직접 계산기 표시창에 나온 가격을 보고 얼마인지 물어보고 돈을 냈습니다. 그때도 그여자는 아무말 안하고 거스름돈 주고 저쪽으로 가버렸습니다. 어이가 없어서 뭐라 할라고 하다가 그냥 왔습니다. 아주 더러운 기분과 빵을 들고요..그여자는 사장님 와이프가 아닌가 생각됩니다..그렇지 않고서야 어떻게 이런 비상식적행동을 할 수 있을지... 저는 그 이후에 다시는 가지 않습니다. . 그리고 이자리를 빌어 불매운동을 하면 어떨까 생각합니다. 장사 좀 잘 된다고 이런 식의 행동하는 것은 정말 고쳐져야 되고 이런 이야기가 꾸준히 웹상에 외국인을 통해서도 올라오고 있는데 아무런 변화가 없다는 것은 그곳 사장님도 문제가 있다고 봅니다. 가지 맙시다. 신라베이커리 에난데일..

별점 한개도 아까운곳...미국 처음와서 3년전부터 자주 갔었지만 정말 불친절한 직원들 ...특히 덩치좀 있던 계산대 아줌마...사장이었던것 같은데..늘 무표정...말없이 돈만 던지듯 건네는 행동들...늘 계산때마다 기분이 아주 더럽던데..내가 돈내며기분좋게 찾아야할 장소가 더이상은 아닌것 같아서안갑니다..갈수록 서비스 실망스러워서 근처 다른 한인 빵집으로 바꿔버렸음. 이젠 두번다시는 안갈거지만 마지막 방문때 케익사러 갔었는데 케익값을 방문객인 나에게 무표정하게 되묻던 직원 아줌마들 보고 완전 어이없음....거기서 파는 물건을 방문객에서 되묻다니...참..I dont go there anymore due to the their worse service ...bye bye

If I go back again, I would try something else other than the shaved ice. Ive been here couple times and I always ended up having the shaved ice with green tea ice cream and their homemade mochi because I was always full when I go and I just share it with my friends. I think I am not really a big fan of shaved ice. I usually shove them away and go for the ice cream and mochi. They are pretty awesome. The cake and other baked goods they have look amazing but i never got a chance to get them. The macaroons however were a disappointment. I thought I was biting rocks coated with sugar. But I let it slide just because it was late at night and the poor macaroons probably have sat there all day already. Parking is not bad at night. Its almost always crowded but I always manage to find an open spot :)

Do not expect any kind of service here whether you are Korean or not.! Period! i often come this place to pick up snacks since they are priced and tasty. However, i always regret the fact that i came here again after experiencing the whole payment process. They do not smile and do not talk back to you, and do not listen to you. They do not even do eye contact. I cant believe that the whole staffs working here are all rude.... Usually some people are rude and some are nice. Not here... I have been to this place for past couple years, and had not seen any kind people and has not seen them greeting any customer.. it is not about the Korean or not.. They are all rude for all the purple....sigh.. I will not come back to this place ever again since there are some other nice Korean bakery s as well

Love the bread, coffee and desserts here, but the lady working the cashier is sooo rude! let me describe her: short black hair, about mid neck length. she looks like she is in her mid to late 40s. she has a very obvious and strong double eyelid. very white skin. her black hair is so black, it is obviously dyed often. i could not believe how rude she was, in the way she talked, and when i asked her if any yogurt was left, she said NO! and just does a 180 degree turn and scurries away. i go here often, and know that she has worked there for quite some time. SHILLA do something about her! or my business will go to many of the OTHER bakeries in Annandale.

Im addicted to this place already. Some desserts might be in the too simple in taste for my personal taste hehe My favorites are: Tiramisu Bing Soo (I need to try the Mocha with caramel for sure) Most of their breads, (sticky rice, cream cheese, garlic, they are al so good) The Strawberry Shortcake, just like the tiramisu great flavors and not overly sweet like most of the bakeries Ive been to in NoVa Im not fond of the donuts, a bit too greasy to my taste, but thats about one of the only things Im not crazy about Shilla. NEXT: need to try the frozen yogurt and bubble teas!

며칠 지난 케익을 파는 비 양심적인 제과점???? 사람 먹는거 가지고 장난치면 되나? 사장이 누군지 모르지만 그런식으로 비지니스 하지 말라고 애기해 주고 싶네요.. 직원들이 친절한것도 아니고???? 한국에서 이런식으로 비지니스하면 망할텐데 용하네??? They sell old cake! One should not do what troubles ones conscience...

This place had been here forever! Been coming here since child hood and it is busier now than ever. Used to be a student hang out but now its an older crowd, almost touristy. Pastries usually are always fresh but it is definitely pricey compare to other just as great Korean bakeries. They used to have samples of almost everything but today, absolutely no samples. I think they are raising the prices and trying to save cost. There is wifi but they covered all their outlets so you cant charge anything here. Just too bad, almost perfect!
