Shilla Patisserie Cafe - Centreville, Virginia

Patrick Min

Shilla Bakery is one of the oldest Korean bakeries in the DMV area, with several outlets throughout the region. This location focuses on classic pastries and baked goods rather than the more trendy offerings elsewhere. The selection is solid and reflective of classic recipes, though it may not be considered extraordinary. The interior is spacious and welcoming, albeit with a more understated decor. The service is satisfactory, contributing to an overall pleasant experience.

I recently ordered a chocolate mousse cake for one of my coworkers’s birthdays. I ordered it through the phone and wasn’t expecting much. The presentation and packaging definitely exceeded my expectations. I didn’t get to go in because I had someone else pick it up, but the cake was delicious. This will definitely be a spot our revisit. I am more of a buttercream guy, but the moose was very good.

Shilla Patisserie Cafe in Centreville offers a unique selection of Korean-style baked goods and cafe fare. They're a local pioneer, having been one of the first Korean bakeries in the area. While the decor might have a more traditional feel, it provides a charming backdrop to explore unfamiliar flavors.

The pastries themselves are delicious, though perhaps not the most cutting-edge creations you'll find. However, if you're looking for something different from your typical American bakery offerings, Shilla Patisserie hits the spot.

Shilla Patisserie is ideal if you're in the neighborhood and craving a Korean pastry and coffee fix. However, the slightly dated ambiance and familiar pastry styles might not warrant a long trek across town.

Korean style bakery/ cafe. If you are interested in baked goods with flavors that you don't typically find in American cafes, this is ur place. The castella and the mochi ? were my favs.

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.

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.

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.
