    I tried Brecotea after discovering it on Instagram, and the location is right on W Broad. Once I walked in, I was super amazed by how bright it was inside and the placement of the baked items. They had a glass wall displaying baked goods resembling a bookcase almost! They offered a variety from sweets like almond croissants to savory like chicken curry buns. I chose a garlic cheese bread (forgot the name) and a chocolatey bread bun. Prices were reasonable. The garlic cheese bread was soft and garlicky, though could use more cheese. The chocolate bun was pillowy soft, not overly sweet, but it surprised me with chocolate filling. Overall, a great experience, and I look forward to trying more! Just be aware it gets crowded, so finding a table might be tough.

    This was the first Brecotea location we used to always go to before we started going to the other ones around the area. It's a small space inside. The drinks and cakes always taste great and the staff is friendly. It gets busy at times but we never had to wait too long. Love it!

    I visited Brecotea a couple of weeks ago and since then I have Already placed a delivery order and sang its praise to everyone. They truly swept me off my feet, not just with delightful concoctions but also with a heartwarming ambiance. Brecotea won me over with delectable offerings and left me in awe of the enchanting atmosphere. Brecotea's cozy haven is a perfect spot for events and fashion shows. Intimate and inviting ambiance transforms it into an ideal venue for various occasions. Decor embraces you, creating an environment that elevates the entire experience. Charming decor, and staff trio, led by dynamic Ariel, knew every product and exuded passion, making the whole experience memorable. Impressed by youthful enthusiasm radiating from the team. When young minds take ownership, magic happens, and at Brecotea, they've truly harnessed that vibrant energy. Knowledgeable staff not only demonstrated familiarity with every product but also exuded a passion that resonated throughout the establishment, rare these days.What captivated me was contagious enthusiasm emanating from the youthful team. Witnessing these individuals take ownership and infuse their energy into Brecotea was nothing short of magical. Sincere advice to owners: let these rising stars shine - their commitment is a testament to the potential for sustained success. Now, let's delve into gastronomic delights that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. Recommendations by crew were nothing short of culinary brilliance - from velvety custard to ethereal macaroons and boba tea-inspired smoothie, each choice was a revelation. It's the macaroons that truly stole the show. Allow me to emphasize - these are, without a doubt, the finest macaroons I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, and my culinary journey has been extensive. Heartbroken over multiple locations because services and offerings almost always denigrate immediately. Personally, perfect your vision then spread out, but what do I know lol. Why not develop the existing locations? One of my biggest pet peeves. Also, where's your IG presence? Let the young people promote the store they represent, invite some local bloggers. Open your spot for salsa night, the sky's the limit! Just some free ideas, hit me up when you franchise, lol. Y'all got to try those dern crack-macrons! Don't take it from me, go check them out! I had the @we_hangryaf crew try the macarons and custard, and they left me nothing. Please consider sharing the recipe with me, I promise I won't tell, lol #BrecoteaDelight #HiddenGemDiscovery #DoubleJoyLocation #CozyCharm #ArielAndTheTribe #YouthfulEnthusiasm #MagicalAmbiance #BrecoteaMagic #FoodieHeaven #MacaroonMasters #CustardCrush #BobaBliss #EventElegance #FashionShowFiesta #YelpEliteEats #RVAFoodieApproved #YELPEliteApproved #CozyCharm #ArielAndTheTribe #YouthfulEnthusiasm #MagicalAmbiance #BrecoteaMagic #FoodieHeaven #MacaroonMasters #CustardCrush #BobaBliss #EventElegance #FashionShowFiesta #YelpEliteEats

    13. Boba Taro Milk Latte
    Christopher M.

    I was unable to accompany my wife to the establishment but I was able to experience the coconut creme pastry, taro croissant, and taro boba tea once that she brought back home. I wish the coconut creme pastry had a bit more creme but the taro croissant had plenty of taro flavor and a crispy outer layer for the perfect combo. The taro boba was also quite delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of scraping the taro from the sides of the cup into the tea drink.

    My go-to is the strawberry milk cap tea with 25% sugar and green tea jelly! It's my favorite boba to order in Richmond. The lower sugar allows you to taste the strawberry flavor mixed with the tea which is amplified with the green tea jelly. It is very cute boba shop and I always like to go after eating Pho nearby. I have not tried their desserts, but they have a good variety of Asian-inspired bakery and cakes.

    Mango mousse cake
    Gabrielle V.

    Four stars for a decent bubble tea (I got a mango slush, it wasn't fruit- I believe they used fruit containing syrups- still better than powder!). The drink was made to my specified sweetness. The baked goods were almost all sold out- it was later in the day. We did snag the cheesecake bites (which were great) as well as a beautiful and delicious mango mousse cake that had mango mousse layered with a very light chocolate sponge cake. It was so good, I would definitely come back just for that. The staff was really friendly and the store was nice and clean. Just a bummer all the non refrigerated goodies were sold out.

    DRINKS We ordered the brown sugar milk teas, mango milk teas, and jasmine milk teas with boba. They were all good and standard for what was chosen. The size options were medium or large (double the size of a medium), and there were both cold and hot drink options available. Most of us reduced the sugar levels to 50% and found it to be just the right amount as the boba itself was already sweet. PASTRIES There was a myriad of pastry options from matcha cheesecake, mango mousse, to tiramisu. We didn't order any, but they looked incredibly appetizing. AMBIANCE There's a good number of tables inside the store, and the decor is stylish and clean-cut. SERVICE We were those people and came in 30 minutes before closing. Our drinks were prepared quickly, and I would say we were in and out within 15-20 minutes upon ordering (considering we were a group of 8). PARKING There's a spacious parking lot in front of the store that is shared with neighboring vendors. It is easy to park in front of the store, and if not, a little walk across the lot.

    Their pastry was just right! I like that their food was not to sweet just perfect!. The ambiance was so cute. So highly recommended!

    Delicious dessert options

    My wife decided to take us here on a Saturday. Wow did not disappoint. It was truly heavy on earth. Their pastry is self served which provides an interesting experience. We decided to go with a savory and sweet mix of pastries. We could not stop smiling as we tried each pastry. It was truly incredible. Worth the drive for us. The pastry shop offers plenty of seating and decor is very upscale. Service was great offered to warm out pastries and they looked to be plenty staffed. Can't wait to visit again, it was an amazing experience and surprise.

    Golden Oolong Milk Cap Tea
    Ailun H.

    The interior is your typical Instagram-able locations with two plush chairs, a sleek round table in between them and a classic white and pink flowers background. The place was packed when we went at around 8:30 PM on a Friday evening - seemed like everyone else had the same idea of grabbing boba after dinner, heh. My friend recommended the "Golden Oolong Milk Cap Tea" because she knew I liked oolong tea and because I don't usually see "milk cap" options for boba. I don't think you can really customize your sugar level for this drink, but the barista said that the pearls are sweetened so I added that to my drink and asked for no sugar. Drink came out super aesthetically, with the boba on the bottom, oolong tea in the middle, and milk cap on the top. I probably should have shook my drink to mix everything up first, but I was too excited to try it so I popped the straw in immediately after I snapped a quick picture. I liked the texture and chewiness of the pearls and the sweetness balanced the oolong tea well. I also really liked the milk cap and was able to mix it a bit in my tea. Super creamy and delicious. Love the taste of the oolong tea as well. I definitely would get this drink again and recommend it to anyone else who likes oolong tea!

    First time here. Super cute, small, intimate and a lovely selection of desserts and drinks. We had the mango mousse, French cheesecake and soft baked cheesecake. My favorite was the French cheesecake. While here we found out there is a second location 2 miles away so we decided to check it out. It's four times bigger than the one we just visited. There is more variety of desserts and savory breads. Will definitely come again!

    Marilyn B.

    Not as nice as the Chesterfield location and not as good of an experience. Location is way smaller and didn't have nearly as much of a selection. The French cheesecake slice was pretty small for $5.25 and did not taste fresh. Taro milk paradise was not that great, I wouldn't order it again.

    The food is so yummy. I got take out but I love the vibe of the restaurant and I like the food. I just want them to open up a location near me in Richmond

    Cute interior!

    It was my first time trying the place coming from out of town visiting my college daughter. After…read moreplacing an order I frantically realized I needed to ask if they put dairy in their drink. As I gently asked , which appeared to be the owner was annoyed. She said it's a smoothie, dairy is it. And I said I realize most do but was wondering if it could be replaced with nondairy as there are people with allergies. She said wished you had come up sooner and I said that why I'm up here. There was only another order ahead of me. She said well your order is already up. I said nothing because I can't have it. And finally asked what I'd wanted to replace it with. She was mad at me, and made sure I knew by throwing the drink loudly in the trash can. I get it everyone has a bad day. My order shouldn't have warrant for that behavior. It was an honest mistake on my part as I should have asked from the beginning but the kiosk didn't inform me properly. I hope this is a good reminder for the business that people/customers could have been having a bad day, sick, have cancer, someone that knew just passed away and they came to your place looking for a little treat. At least as I was waiting for my new drink was that she was much nicer to other customers. But here's a tip if you want to keep your business running. But kind. It's clear that the other reviews also share the same experience of rudeness. Because it was my first time. It will also be my last. There are so many other boba teas out there.

    There was no reason why it takes so long to get a drink. Especially when nothing else is added…read more Just playing on the phone pretending customers aren't waiting.

    Ben Wong is always a treat to visit with enough variety to fill any craving. The teas are fantastic…read more- particularly the fruit teas which are refreshing and not overly sweet, while still highlighting fruit flavors. I particularly like the Orange Pineapple and Orange Mango, but you can't go wrong with any of them. At just around $7 the price point is in line with what you would expect for a coffee replacement. The pastries are where Ben Wong shines. Showcased in the middle of the cafe, the ability to self select pastries often leaves me going home with more than I expect. The Pineapple Bun is fluffy with a mild sweetness, the Chicken Curry Bun is savory with a satisfying crunchy exterior, and the Taro Buns have a rich taro flavor. At $3-$5 per pastry you can't go wrong with any of them.

    I've been a couple of times so far, and it's pretty good! The meat products (hot dogs) sitting out…read morekind of gross me out but it didn't stop me from trying them regardless. *Can confirm I didn't get sick ha. I really love their drinks especially though; the tiramisu latte is sweet but delightful. Their bubble teas, especially the creme brulee, are good too, and I love their blueberry fruit tea! Of their pastries, I've enjoyed their berry-focused ones the best, such as the strawberry cake. It's close by and my boyfriend loves it here, so I'm sure to be back soon. Prices aren't bad either.
