Bellash Bakery

Love this bakery! The Italian cookies are fresh and taste just like the ones you would buy in New York’s Little Italy. Stop buying your cookies at the local Supermarket! Then… my husband purchased me a Bday cake. It was whipped cream, strawberry filling, yellow cake soaked in rum (bottom layer) — sooooo good!!! He was trying to recreate the bday cake my parents use to buy me every year from my favorite NYC bday. It was pretty darn close! Love their goodies and their staff is always personable and accommodating. Can’t wait to try some Holiday treats in the coming weeks! I see a Napoleon cake in my future.

Love, love, love Bellash. Italian cookies in the front counter are a warm welcome to more excellent treats. The owners and their staff are lovely. And I’d recommend the baguettes except I don’t want them to be sold out when I go ;) Speaking of which go, go, go. We need to help small businesses like this be successful.

This is what we have been waiting a long time for! A good old fashioned bakery. Been here twice in the first week I found it and we have loved everything so far! The cakes are moist with smooth frosting that isn’t too sweet. The bread pudding is more pudding than bread that I normally wouldn’t like but theirs is very tasty! Haven’t tried the cookies yet but they look very good too, will get them next time. The only desert I am missing are donuts. Strongly suggest that you try this place for yourself!

Just tried their tea cookies. Tasteless. Also tried their brownies. They need to up the flavor; not much chocolatey flavor going on. Both lack a richness and depth.
Their rolls, and Italian and French breads are wonderful. Really good flavor and wonderfully fresh! It’s very difficult to find great-​tasting bread/​rolls, so this is a real compliment. Five stars.

Finally a great bakery in Virginia. This place is a diamond in the rough. Located in a strip mall off of route 1. Very nice selection of baked goods. Highly recommend.

Love this gem of a bakery!
The location itself is very deceiving because the area itself is kind of an eye sore, but it’s definitely worth while to check it out!
I ordered my boyfriends cake here 2 weeks before I needed the cake and when I asked if that was enough notice they said that they need a week notice and I thought that was amazing! They’re very nice and very accommodating. You can definitely tell they have a passion for what they do.
I highly recommend them!

What a cute, little place! A coworker found this gem and introduced me to it. Wow! So delicious! I had the coconut cream custard (looked like a piece of pie) and it was delightful! I also loved how clean the place was. And the lady behind the counter was extremely nice. Great place for coffee and pastries in the morning.

Lovely bakery, so many options, tried the Napoleon, it was great!!! So creamy… I love everything here. We’ve had cookies and cakes and pastries and donuts oh my!!! Defiantly worth a try you will be hooked

Fantastic! If you’re looking for a delicious cookie Italian style, New York style, this is the place. It’s about time there was a delicious bakery in the area. Send them your business because I want them to stay. I went there three times the first week I realized they were open. Now I’m going there to pick up treats for neighbors that I owe a thank you to. Can’t say enough!

There’s a reason this place has 5 stars (so far). We went to get pizza near my mom’s and stumbled across this little treasure! I saw NY bakery and was intrigued. The staff were very attentive, smiling, and kind. The little pastries were so pretty and petite and very good. The employee told us the owner used to own a bakery in NY. I’ve only ever been to one real NY bakery, so I am no expert. All I can say is I am glad I don’t live too close or I’d be in trouble. In Arnold’s words, «I’ll be back!»

Great place for a quick stop and some adorable cookies. Their macarons were decent — not too sweet — and the flan was good. Will be back to try the mini tarts and cakes!

Order a cake for my daughter’s birthday it was amazing. This is one of the best bakeries around our area the goods are delicious and fresh. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful.

Decent bakery but nothing extraordinary. I was really hoping for legit bakery in the area and really had my hopes up. I was doomed to disappointment.
Bought a few things:
1) chocolate chip cookies: the good? They’re big, they’re slightly chewy. The bad? They’re nothing amazing, and have a faint cinnamon flavor going on. Not really that all American chocolate chip, in yo’face sugar butter chocolate magic that I know and love.
2) fruit and cheese pastries: again, nothing extraordinary. Fruit fillings tasted kind of canned; over sweet and gloppy, with tiny chunks of fruit. Cheese filled one was weird because the filling was oddly soupy.
3) fruit topped mini cheesecakes: so I was expecting NY style cheesecake — kind of dense, creamy, tart. The cheesecake here was very very light, very whipped. It’s like eating overbeaten whipped cream with some cream cheese thrown in. The fruit was good, though, mainly because it was fresh, with no weird sauce.
4) brownie cheesecakes: this makes baby jeebus cry. Again I was expecting something more substantial — pronounced chocolate flavor and tang of cream cheese. Instead, it was all pretty meh. The brownie bit was super soft and mushy, the cheesecake bit didn’t really taste of cheesecake. The frosting tasted a bit like canned frosting, but weaksauce.
In all, I was disappointed. It’s really not that different from some of the local Latino bakeries off Route 1, but with extra bump in price that is, in my opinion, unwarranted. It makes me sad. But hey, I guess I could get some pizza next door to soothe the disappointment.
Location: off route 1, same stripmall as Astoria restaurant and BThrifty.

Always wished there was a bakery around, and now there is. This place is awesome. Everything is fresh and amazing. The little personal sized cheesecakes melt in your mouth! Don’t be afraid to request strawberries ontop if they’re out! They gladly top anything, anyway you want it, if you’re willing to wait a few minutes.
They are even open untill 8pm on Sunday’s! Perfect for an after dinner dessert. I really hope the quality remains the same! High hopes for this place!

I have been there about 12 times now have eaten just about everything they got to offer the pricing is unbelievably cheap for the great product i highly recommend any of there mouse cake my only complaint is there not open 24hours

I love fruit tarts so I was dying to try these. They’re so good! Cheaper and better than Whole Foods and Wegmans fruit tarts.

Looked good! Smelled good!!! Tasted good. I would be back soon except for the fact that I bought SO MUCH stuff. My only complaint was I wanted to eat some of the pastries there but wanted some milk to wash it down and they had none. But they had cups and the Food Lion was close so I went there and bought some milk and washed down some cherry turn-​overs right on the spot.

This bakery opened a few weeks ago and it will be a regular haunt of mine! Privately owned and staffed by the owner’s lovely daughters, this was a wonderful surprise to find such delicious pastry.
I purchased a light and flaky cheese puff pastry and raspberry as well as almond cookies. The pastry was so delicious I was tempted to go back for another even though I live in Alexandria!

Only place anywhere near here that has a good Napoleon cake! We got that and the brownie and both were amazing. We’ll be going back for more!

Woodbridge is finally getting a bit of class! I’ve been waiting for this bakery to open for a few weeks now and today was the day that the open sign was lit up! This place completely met my expectations and then some. I will post pictures. This is a much needed bakery. Unlike Fairfax and other NOVA cities, Woodbridge really lacks decent bakeries to get high quality baked goods and cakes. There’s Wegmans (high quality is a stretch here though) and there’s a cake place in global foods (but its more of an asian type of pastries place so may not be for all palates) and confections (but they’re more cupcakes). Other than that, though, the bakery scene has been a bit lacking. Until now! You walk into the store and are greeted immediately by a nice long display case of handmade pastries and cakes. I will post pictures. The prices are on par with quality bakeries in Fairfax. Around $ 25 for a 8″/9″ cake (you can tell they’re homemade) and the pastries I got were around $ 2 a piece. I tried the elephant ear which was nice and light and flaky. My husband got an apricot glazed croissant. He thought it was very good. We will definitely be back and are so excited to welcome this new bakery to the neighborhood! I think a classy joint like this will help to improve the overall area! Here’s to hoping more classy businesses follow suit and open up off of route 1 as well!
Oh, and they also do custom cakes and wedding cakes for all you lovely brides-​to-​be out there!
