ArTea Shop in DMV | Aesthetic Desserts & Sweet Reflections 🍰✨

Stopped by the newly opened (?) Layered at noon, but the crazy long line—wrapped three layers deep!—scared me away 😱… So I headed to this dessert spot in McLean instead. Came purely for the looks, but was surprised that each dessert costs around 12-13 🫣. Ended up ordering two desserts and an iced coffee, totaling 34—a bit more than I expected, but hey, treat yourself sometimes! 💸💖 And guess what? The flavors were actually pretty good! The banana mousse had a real banana taste—not that artificial flavoring vibe—makes me wonder if they blended real bananas in there 🤔. It came with a chocolate filling too! The coconut dessert 🥥 looked super realistic, topped with pineapple. The mousse inside was denser than usual but not heavy or overly creamy—really liked it! 👍 📍 ArTea Shop 6635 Old Dominion Dr, McLean, VA 22101 Went in thinking I needed some dopamine to push through work stress, but then I remembered what our pastor shared yesterday at fellowship: work is also a form of serving, and we can face pressure with joy that comes from God. 💒🙏 It’s true—when I approach my job and its challenges with a heart of gratitude and praise, my attitude totally shifts. Jeremiah 17:7-8 says: “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord… He will be like a tree planted by the water… It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” When our lives are connected to God, even under pressure, we don’t grow dry or negative—instead, it produces growth in us. 🌱 This God-given joy isn’t just a quick dopamine boost—it’s a solid, lasting peace that helps me face weariness and stress at work. 🕊️❤️ #DMVLife #DMVArea #WashingtonDC #DMVEats #DMVFood #DCDesserts #NorthernVA #McLeanEats #SweetTooth #AestheticDesserts #DessertLover #CoffeeBreak #SpiritualReflection #FaithAndWork #ChristianLiving #BibleVerse #JoyInGod #WorkLifeBalance #TreatYourself #DMVPlaces #WeekendVibes #DessertShop #FoodForThought
