    Oh my god. This was amazing. Very rarely do I think a bakery like this lives up to the hype, but Rose Ave was genuinely phenomenal. I think what I liked about it so much was that it was a bunch of Asian twists on non-Asian classics (kouign ammans, donuts, pastry puffs, etc) rather than just a traditional Chinese bakery (also good, but not the same thing). I got the strawberry lychee donut (4.5/5), the ube cheese kouign amman (5/5), and the thai curry puff (5/5). The most unique flavor to me was the ube cheese, but my favorite (maybe I'm biased) was the (savory) thai curry puff. Will definitely be back -- be warned, was a little expensive though. Also got a mango matcha (4/5), was good and had strong matcha flavor but nothing crazy. Friends got a mango basil donut (4.5/5) and a mango passion fruit donut (3.5/5) which I also tried. Line is long but went super quick. Workers are efficient. Super super crowded on a Monday morning, pretty limited eating. A lot of people (including us) had to loiter and stand around the entrance/on the street to eat.

    This quite possibly might be the best bakery I have ever been to. The quality of their pastries are top-notch with the perfect amount of crisp and flavor. The selection is unique with an Asian twist, including ingredients such as curry, ube, and pandan. I wish I had a bigger stomach to be able to try more pastries! I certainly see what the hype is here. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

    Love the options available here from the drinks to the baked goods. I need to try that mango sticky rice Kouigan-amann! But I've had their strawberry passionfruit cake slice that was delectable.. soft moist and not overly sweet. Croissant is big and fresh tasting. Tried the strawberry lychee rose donut and you can taste each component, which i really appreciated! Would definitely get all of those again. I also enjoy the mango matcha, and the passionfruit iced tea. The peaches n cream iced tea was ok, thought it would be more creamy but it wasnt bad! Staff is friendly and the cafe is a mix of chic and industrial?? I really liked the place and will continue to try their offerings.

    My fiancé gave me a gift card for Rose Ave on my birthday (One of the many reasons why I Love Her) and I finally got the chance to visit their new location near the DC Zoo. Albeit parking may be a bit tricky in the area I suggest you make a couple loops around the residential neighborhood to find street parking. A short walk to and from the bakery wouldn't hurt right? Besides those delicious calories make it all worth it. Lol Expect a crowd especially during the morning rush or brunch hours on weekends. You'll be lucky to find seating, during these hours you'll hardly find a table inside. The staff do their best to accommodate everyone efficiently. I admit to their pastries are on the pricey side but hear me out. You get your money's worth. Their ube and lychee doughnuts are exquisite. Not too sweet just subtly perfect. I would definitely try out their other pastries soon.
