Soricha - Annandale

Cool interior cafe vibes with traditional Korean furniture. We shared a crowaffle, rice cake waffle with ice cream and black sesame bingsoo. All three were divine. Crowaffle is sweeter than rice cake waffle (because it's drizzled w honey). I LOVED both. Rice cake waffle has a chewier bite majority at table preferred rice cake waffle. Bingsoo was MASSIVE. It came out in a giant nengmyun bowl very reasonably priced. It was so nutty, refreshing, and not too sweet. There is a register. There is also a QR code to order food/drinks on each table for convenience.

Had the Brown Redbean Assam tea latte and it was very tasty. Apparently it is a new item as well. My wife had the Rugosa Rose Tea, and the flavor was delightful. We also had the Cro Waffle with green tea ice cream, which was also amazing. The staff was kind and helpful. High recommend.

Nice cozy spot in Annandale with delicious shaved ice for hot summer. I recommend people to check this place out during hot weather and try their shaved ice deserts!!

How have I never written a review for my beloved Soricha?! I first came here with my sisters when they first opened in ~2016. We just fell in love with this place the fragrant teas, the nubby wooden spoons, the rustic ceramics. The whole experience was akin to stepping into a special little world in the middle of Annandale. Whether you order the teas, waffle, bingsoo, it's all just incredible. This is the most magical little tea house that takes you to a peaceful place and lets you unwind. There is so much care put into Soricha that is evident in the quality of the details and experience. The owners are of Soricha are also the best! They have worked so hard and deserve all the success. From, Your #1 fan!

When I thought the world of dessert ice couldn't get any better, in comes Soricha! The drinks were solid and the bing soo was the best I've ever had. Not to mention, the shop is super cute. I got the mugwort matcha latte 50% sweet and it was perfectly lovely! Tbh, I'm not sure what mugwort is, but I think it made the drink taste more earthy? Sweetness level was on point and the presentation with the separated layers was a simple, but great touch. They have a number of bing soo flavors, but I was super happy to see they had hojicha!! If you're unfamiliar, it's a roasted tea that has depth and is kind of nutty. It was this ginormous bowl with loads of toppings that provided the contrast in texture. The various nuts and cereal stayed crunchy the entire time and I was pleasantly surprised to find a layer on the bottom as well! There's a little mound on the top, and that's bc there's a scoop of vanilla ice cream in there. It was a fun surprise, but tbh overkill imo There's also a schmeer of of a thick brown sugar molasses on the bottom. I got less sweet 70%, but next time I'd do less sweet 50%. By far the fanciest bing soo I've ever had with an equally large pricetag lol And as a side note, if you want fruity bing soo, this isn't the place for you. The only negative is this location is in the back of a random shopping plaza. Despite that, all tables were filled during my Saturday afternoon visit on a scorching summer day. Looking forward to returning
