    Strawberry Cake Mango cake
    Krystal K.

    Got the mango and the strawberry mousse cakes. Both had excellent flavor and balance. The mango had a natural flavor and it was our favorite of the two. The strawberry had less flavor, but still delicious and fresh.

    My husband and I are the type of people that like to have a "sweet treat" on Sundays. We are huge bubble tea/boba lovers and we've been going to Ben Wong's since they opened in willow lawn! We first discovered them at their Midlothian location and we were so thrilled when saw they opened in willow lawn, too. We have probably been now at least 20 times and we love it. I personally am not a huge pastry fan but if you're into that, they have an impressive assortment of French Vietnamese items; definitely something for everyone. I love their bubble tea, my favorite being their passion green tea! You can dictate the sweetness level and everything tastes fresh. The boba is the right consistency and the tea tastes freshly brewed, and no artificial flavors in there. Would recommend!!

    Menu as of August 2025.

    Amazing! I love (and hate) that this is so close to me. I've become a boba tea snob, and the brown sugar boba here far exceeded my expectations. It was delicious - not too sweet, just the perfect balance. Also, if you're jonesing for a pasteis de nata, the egg tarts here will satisfy that craving. They're perfectly rich and creamy, and taste just like Portugal. Super clean. A well lit space with quiet music - great for working or studying. The service was a bit slow, but they had a ton of online orders when I went. I can't wait to come back to try more of their wide variety of drink and food options!

    Watermelon tea

    This was a newish tea place in an otherwise quiet suburban shopping center. In addition to tea, they had a considerable spread of baked goods. At the end of the day, their selection was reduced, but there were still plenty of high quality sweets. I settled on a mousse. Texturally, the hard chocolate shell and open sides meant it was physically difficult to divide it into any smaller pieces in order to eat it. The taste was rich enough. Savory options were available, but were limited by comparison. Among their tea options was a watermelon special for the season. A unique fusion, it was full of fruit pulp but also a grass jelly only found in Asian beverages (there are a lot of non-gelatin jellies for the vegetarian at these sorts of places). I was a tad confused on whether to order from a kiosk or a person, and there was also some confusion about labeling of the self-serve pastries and the tea specials. They have another location south of Richmond, and while there were a couple of points that could have been better, overall I expect success from them.

    There's a good selection for sure, but this place is so overhyped. The boba is mediocre, and the bingsu as well. The pastries don't feel or taste fresh, they aren't heated up either. The cake slices are dry and flavorless. I've been disappointed by multiple items on the menu multiple different times. The display is great but misleading.

    Strawberry Matcha

    Went to Ben Wong's Tea with my girlfriend a while back and I'm glad we stopped by. We ended up grabbing some sweets that day, and everything felt pretty premium, they really put thought into what they offer. There's a big variety of options, and honestly, half the stuff I hadn't even heard of before. It was nice to just browse and explore their options. The ambiance is definitely a highlight. It's a relaxed spot very "post up with a laptop and zone in" kind of energy. I've seen a few people working in there every time I've went. Whether you're grabbing a drink or just want a calm place to hang out, it pretty chill. I went back another day before work and got a strawberry matcha just to try something different. I'm not usually a big matcha guy, but I actually liked it. The flavor was there, it didn't feel watered down or overly sweet, and the staff had it out pretty quickly. Everyone seemed friendly and welcoming, which always adds to the vibe.

    Pork floss cake, I'm excited to try
    Christina S.

    I'm so happy that this shop opened up in Willow Lawn. Service: the owner is very nice and was very accommodating for cake orders, answered any questions we had! Vibes: super clean, bright, open. Quite cute. Drinks: I personally like the drinks, and how you can customize the sugar and ice. But, be aware that the taro milk tea is made with what looks like real taro paste instead of a flavored powder, and passionfruit tea is made with the fruit pulp with the seeds. Some of my friends were surprised by this. I love the fruit teas, and the normal milk tea is very solid, highly recommend. Food: the breads are BEAUTIFUL. And tasty. Looks like they are consistently revamping their offerings so I'm sure you will be able to find something you like. I personally love the sausage bread. The breads are soft and fluffy. The sweet pastries are not super sweet but have nice flavor. Takeout: I recommend asking for drinks in a plastic bag. Mine was in a paper bag, and the drink leaked, soaking the bag. I did not notice when I picked up the order, and ended up spilling the drink all over the floor. Over all, for Richmond, this is a solid solid place.

    Taro Matcha Bubble Milk Tea and Strawberry Cream Slush
    Sarah S.

    Finally trying Ben Wong's and boy does this place have OPTIONS! Hope you're not indecisive like myself or you'll be scrolling through the menu on the kiosk for 15 min or walking laps around the pastries. I finally decided on the taro matcha bubble tea and my mom decided on the strawberry slush. You're able to customize your drink and adjust the sweetness, ice level and add any toppings. I think the taro matcha was supposed to have bubbles which was a little disappointing they were omitted but the drink was still very tasty overall. The pastries were definitely the stand out. The cream cheese bun and the curry bun were top tier I could eat them every day. I had a very hard time choosing which pastry I wanted and can't wait to try more! Would definitely recommend Ben Wong's! The inside is very chic and cute with many tables good for groups!

    Ben Wong's Tea recently opened in Willow Lawn and I had a nice time trying their bakery items! Their pastries are self-serve using provided tongs/trays and you pay at the counter. Staff were friendly and boxed up my items for me to-go. The seating area inside was bright, clean and open. -Chocolate bun: bread was soft and fluffy, the cream tasted a bit more like coffee than chocolate - still good though! -Taro bun: pretty presentation, the filling wasn't too sweet which was great. -Coconut cream bun: probably my favorite! It had plentiful whipped cream filling which was incredibly airy and fluffy. The bread was super soft too. -Pork floss bread: did not skimp on the pork floss which was amazing (just a tad saltier than I prefer). Prices were reasonable and they had a nice selection of sweet and savory pastry options (though I clearly lean towards sweets!). Will have to return to try their milk tea too!

    Ben Wong's Tea is an awesome addition to Willow Lawn! There wasn't a good bubble tea and dessert spot in this specific area so it'll be nice to stop by here. They offer a wide variety of bubble teas, pastries, and cakes. This location also has shave ice for dine in only. All the pastries and cakes I saw were very reasonably priced. The pastries I tried were fluffy and not too sweet. They made for an easy quick bite without that heavy feeling afterwards. I also tried the brown sugar bubble milk tea and adjusted the ice and sugar level to my liking. I believe it came with cheese foam on top which made it a little sweet and salty. The medium was slightly small for the price. They have an app so you can look at the menu, order ahead, or gain rewards. In store you can order at the counter or on tablets. They have plenty of seating and lots of outlets so it would make a great spot to do some work or catch up with friends.

    I'm still newer to Boba tea and the Asian pastry scene. That being said this place is solid. The store is clean, the staff is patient and the tea and pastry's are pretty good. I highly recommend the chicken Katsu croissant pastry!

    Strawberry Cupcake

    I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. It's beautiful, the atmosphere and aesthetic is lovely. The manager Rainy is a delight and they were so accommodating for my book signing of Trapped in the Past for a collaborative community event. Everyone raved about how much they loved the food and drinks. They have so many options I can't pick a favorite but I loved the cheesecake, a mouse. The tea was outstanding. I truly recommend and I think I've found my favorite tea shop in RVA. Check them out if you're in the willow lawn area and even if you're not, they're worth the drive.

    Passion Fruit Mousse
    Lyna L.

    So happy that this place popped up! It's essentially a BrecoTea copycat, but closer to downtown. They have a great selection of drinks and pastries and would love to try out their cakes when the appropriate occasion arises! They also have a really spacious seating area that would be great for hangouts or studying.

The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.

The sweet potato was equally as good but with a much milder flavor. And the cookies....out of this world! The servers were friendly but nothing over the top. They seemed to be a cog in the machine and churning out orders. Overall, a cute little, vegan, spot with really good pastries and coffee. Head caution on the milkshakes if you are not use to vegan milkshakes. While they taste good, at least to me, they are wildly different than an cows milk milkshake.

I love that they also have vegan candy and chocolate as well as a freezer section with take and bake vegan and some gluten free options. They had frozen croissants, biscuits, breakfast sandwiches and more. The safe was super sweet and helpful too when ordering. I loved how homey and charming all the decor was and the cute wooden booths where you can sit and enjoy. The bakery is in Carytown so you are limited to street parking and pay to park parking decks. But we had no issue finding parking on a rainy Saturday morning. I highly recommend you give this bakery a try regardless of if you have food allergies or not!
