So I got the Candy Corn and my mom got The Bulldog which is blackberry, cranberry, pink Starburst and strawberry. Both great, my mom's was a little too sweet or rather a LOT but got a side of water for that so it made it better. While Cam was making our drinks we talked it up and had a great chit chat. So sweet and actually quite fast considering she was the only one there. So fast service CHECK haha Great little spot that unfortunately only gets peeps from out of town. I would highly suggest this hole in the wall hot spot! Keep it up Tea Bar! P.s. Little suggestion. Perhaps WARN people before they order your teas that they may be VERY sweet/strong. The water that my mom was given to mix in with her tea hardly brought down the sweetness. It's a tad overwhelming. Other than that, y'all are great.

I was excited to try The Tea Bar, but unfortunately the experience fell short…read more I ordered their "one size only" milk tea with tapioca pearls for the boba. I was told while ordering that the drink only comes in one flavor: brown sugar. And the "one size" ended up being closer to a smaller medium rather than a full-sized drink (photos for reference and keep in mind my hands are small). For $10, that was already disappointing. Taste-wise, the tea itself was very weak and watered down, with little flavor. The only positive was the boba, which was actually good and plentiful (soft and chewy) but it wasn't enough to save the drink overall. Given the limited options, small size, and high price point, it just didn't feel worth the cost. Sadly, I probably won't be back.

Hug in a Mug? More Like Hug in a Mess. I genuinely wanted to love this place based on the name…read morealone, but unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing coffee shop experiences I've ever had. From the coffee to the customer service to the overall cleanliness, everything fell far below expectations. Let's start with the coffee, or lack thereof. I ordered a vanilla latte, and my friend ordered a caramel macchiato. Both drinks were essentially room-temperature milk with barely a hint of coffee or flavor. It was so unpleasant that we ended up throwing both drinks away. The pecan roll we ordered didn't fare much better. After being placed into a styrofoam container, it was microwaved right in front of me. IN THE STYROFOAM. The result? A health hazard, plus a melted, chewy, overly gooey mess that was completely inedible. The service was equally lackluster. The staff seemed visibly annoyed to take our order, and there was clear confusion about who would make our drinks. One employee disappeared for several minutes while the other, who had been doing nothing, finally stepped in to make our coffees, after a not-so-friendly exchanging of words about who would make it between the co-workers. To top it off, I watched another employee leave ice cream out to melt on the counter for at least ten minutes in what was an uncomfortably hot space. Speaking of the space... it's in rough shape. The interior smelled of sour milk, ice cream, and garbage, likely exacerbated by the heat. The outdoor patio, the only seating option, is no better. Tables are sticky and unclean, fans are missing blades (with broken pieces piled nearby), and the entire area looks neglected and unkempt. It's clear there hasn't been any effort to maintain the space. To give credit where it's due, someone in our group ordered a strawberry Italian ice, and they said it was "fine." But for everything else we tried, it was a complete waste of money and time. I rarely write negative reviews, but this place needs serious improvements across the board. Between the lackluster coffee, poor service, and the overall unsanitary conditions, I cannot recommend Hug in a Mug to anyone, and I certainly won't be back.

Lion of Judah Ethiopian Restaurant is truly a gem in this small town. The food is absolutely…read moreincredible: rich, flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was delicious, and it's easily some of the best Ethiopian food I've had. That said, be prepared to take your time. The ordering and food preparation process is very slow, and during our visit the "servers" were literal children. We ended up spending close to two hours there, with most of that time waiting for the food to come out. If you're in a rush, this probably isn't the spot. But if you're willing to slow down and enjoy a relaxed, unhurried meal, the quality of the food makes the wait worthwhile. I'd absolutely come back, just with patience and no tight schedule.

I also added the cheesecake sambusa. Everything was outstanding. The watermelon fries were such a refreshing start. The beef tibs were deeply flavorful and tender. Each of the sides had such great flavor profiles! I first tried Ethiopian food about 12 years ago at a place in Portland, Oregon, and I've been wanting it again ever since. When I saw this restaurant open here in Valdosta, I was genuinely excited to finally have it again -- and now I wish I had gone sooner because I've clearly been missing out. Even as a pickup order, the service stood out the staff was personable and inviting. Everything was carefully packed, warm, and clearly made with care. And the cheesecake sambusa? Unreal, the perfect way to finish the meal. I can't wait to go back and make this a regular spot for my family and me.
