I went with some friends from Yelp. You can order online or with the cashier. I ordered the mango dragon tea. It was absolutely delicious. It was mixed with a jasmine green tea. Would love to go back. read more

Plenty of parking in the parking lot. You can enter from next door or the front of the store. There's plenty of seating inside. They have plenty of options to choose from and cater the drinks to your liking. You can select various toppings, drinks, and sweetness levels. They have cute and freshly made dessert options too. The service was quick to get assistance. The drinks took a bit to make but we were waiting on food next door as well. read more

Visited the Battlefield Boulevard location of Joyu Coffee & Tea and was immediately impressed by how much larger it is than the Haygood location. The decor is cute, and they have a corner with games, which makes it feel like a place where you could actually hang out for a while rather than just grab a drink and leave. I ordered the Mango Dragon Fresh Tea with ube cold foam, full sugar, and regular ice. The tea and foam were both delicious. The only thing I would change next time is the sweetness level. Full sugar was a bit much for me, and I'd probably order it at half sugar. While they do have Splenda packets available in the dining area, I think it would be helpful to offer a sugar alternative such as Stevia or Splenda during the drink preparation process. Taking the lid off a drink topped with cold foam to add sweetener yourself could get messy pretty quickly. A couple of things could be improved operationally. Be prepared for a wait. We arrived around 9:15 a.m. There was only one customer in the store who had already ordered before us, so they were not busy. Even so, it took about 20 minutes for our drinks to come out. There was only one employee working, Gabby, who appeared to be handling everything herself. While waiting, I initially assumed the tea was being brewed fresh, but later noticed an open pitcher of tea sitting on a shelf. That seemed unsanitary, especially since I had to swat away a flying insect while sitting there. It immediately made me wonder what would happen if a bug ended up in the pitcher. Covering it or storing it somewhere less visible would create a much better impression. We also ordered cheesecake, and while Gabby used a cake server to remove the slices, she wasn't wearing gloves while packaging them. That also came across as unsanitary. Additionally, none of the pastries were labeled, so we had to ask what everything was. Labeling them would make ordering easier for both customers and staff. A few additional notes: if you're coming from Battlefield Boulevard, the entrance is actually behind the building, so you'll need to drive around to access the parking lot. Also, they don't open until 9 a.m., which feels a little late for a coffee and tea shop. Overall, I enjoyed my drink and really liked the atmosphere. The larger space and game area make this location stand out. The tea itself was great, but there are some operational and cleanliness-related details that could be improved to match the otherwise inviting vibe of the shop. read more

First time visit at this location. It's a lot bigger than the two locations in Virginia Beach even though it's connected to a poke bowl place. I didn't have any issues with my order or service. They were friendly and fast. I had a taro berry fusion croffle and avocado joyu drink which were just as good and tasted consistent with the other locations. However, when my friend went up to order his drink it took a long time. I don't know what happened. If an influx of people happen to come in after he walked up to order. They do the punch card and fortunately I had it in my wallet. They do military discounts, just show your ID. read more

Okay I really wanted to love it. The vibe is adorable and even the sweets were in the shape of a panda (but it was $12), what's not to love. Service was good, no issues there. But the actual food- meh. We didn't finish anything we got. I think this is one of those places you have to keep trying until you find something right for you. I would try again but I'd order different items from the menu. read more

I think I found the best tea drink! They have the mango dragon tea which has mango jam and dragonfruit flavors. Highly recommend mango jelly toppings (although mango pop sure can add some more joyous bursts of flavor I can imagine!). The dining area is spacious, open layout. It seems endless with adjacent shared access to Aholahola next door. But the most notable of this experience is the super super friendly staff. For the first time in a long while, knowing my name wasn't just to check off from a list of Yelpers who were invited. When my tea was ready, "your drink is ready Mary-Ann" sounded so heavenly, personal, friendly: what a wonderful neighborhood establishment should be! We are lucky to have such inspired experience! Thank you Joyu! read more

Cute coffee shop with a variety of drink options from tea, Vietnamese coffee, and slush blended drinks. Located next to Jersey Mikes and Dollar Bank. The parking lot is a decent size and I've never had issues finding a spot. JoyU also sells pastries/desserts that look great but I have yet to try them. The display case makes it very tempting though! They also have numerous topping options for drinks such as popping boba, brown sugar pearls, coffee jelly, and some fruit I believe. I have stopped in multiple times since they opened in mid December and each time I come staff has been friendly and the dining area is clean. There is also a bathroom available to customers. Some of my favorite drinks are the Crème Brûlée latte (hot or cold) and the Taro Cloudy Cafe Latte. I recently tried their sister business Alohahola which is connected next door. The poke bowl I ordered was packed to the brim and was delicious! read more

The place was super trendy and generally semi clean. The food took a while to come out and they initially burned my bánh mi. Taro cloud latte: 9/10 A very delicious drink but it's harder to drink with the sweets sine it's already sweet. You can add toppings and I added flan. A lot was given in and I was happily surprised. Cookies and cream latte: 7/10 It was tasty and average. Again I was happily surprised about the toppings. Almonetta croffle: 8/10 Delicious!! It basically was Nutella, bananas, and almonds. The dough tasted kinda undercooked though Macha and strawberry croffle: 7/10 Pretty good but was average Bánh mi Dac biet: 5/10 It didn't have as much meat in it and I never thought I would say this but the bread was too light without a chew to it. Blueberry cheesecake: 10/10 Amazing and I would get again. The flavor was premium and perfect amount of sweetness. Overall good food but the service was slow and not the most friendly. read more

Our daughter suggested trying this new Tea and Coffee place that was opening near our house. It was their grand opening and they had some goodies for their customers. We got there 30 mins before their opening and a line was already in place. Nobody was talking so everyone must have held off getting coffee that morning. When they finally opened the staff was Super friendly and patient explaining the different options and what pairings went well with what teas and coffees. Our order taker was KHOA and he was very polite and patient with us. He had a genuine smile and definitely was interested in making sure we got something we were truly going to enjoy. The staff was working full speed and pumping out orders very efficiently. I got the Strawberry lemon tea with lychee toppings. It was delicious and full of flavor. I really liked how clean and uncluttered it felt. Some business feel like they have to have something on every inch of the wall, but not Joyu. It was a very calm ambiance to stay and hang out. We didn't but will definitely be back. We were very impressed and will definitely be back very soon. read more

I tried the Pistachio cake for the first time ! The cake was soft, fluffy, and light. I also enjoyed the Ube cloudfoam with bobbas and mango dragon tea. Both were delicious and refreshing. The staff is amazingly friendly. I love their vibe. Happy and joyful. The music is so good! Laufey calm is how I'd describe it. Great place to gather! read more

This place has a really cool vibe, but the food was just ok. I didn't try the tea or coffee and so maybe that's where they shine. I had one of their sandwiches and the marinade for the meat wasn't my favorite. Though thinking that could just be my personal taste buds. The dessert was cool. Tasted pretty good and was super cute. read more

I went for the drop in Yelp event. I was greeted warmly and then took a look at the menu while the cashier looked for my name. The place was clean and quiet. It also looks like they have a 2nd seating area which is a nice touch if you were enjoying your treats in their establishment. I ordered the Almond Brown Sugar latte and the cookies and cream croffle. I also ordered the ricotta pistachio cake, a crookie and the almond croissant. I asked that the cookie and almond croissant not be warmed up as I was not going to be eating them right away. I did ask if they had decaf coffee or espresso and they did not. For someone who is caffeine sensitive or not a coffee drinker, your options are limited to the teas and smoothies. When I got home, I discovered the crookie was raw cookie dough on top of the croissant and in the middle. The cashier could have offered baking instructions since I did not have them bake it while I was there. The almond croissant was tasty but needed more filling (IMO). I have yet to try the coffee. I smelled burnt when I got it in the car which is partially the reason why I haven't tried it yet. However, I will reserve judgment. The croffle was OK but didn't really have flavor. There is a popsicle stick in the middle so be careful biting into it. This location was very far from me because I'm in Hampton. I may give their local location a try. My suggestion for all of the locations: invest in decaf coffee or espresso. There are more of us out there than you think! read more

This is is super cute! Their food is delicious! They have both sweet and savory options! Service was great!

I swung by Joyo on South Battlefield for an afternoon snack while out running some errands. They share a parking lot with several other businesses, and it can be a bit tight if you have a larger vehicle and it is during prime mealtimes (Lunch/dinner), off hours there seems to be ample parking. The staff are sweet and friendly. I got one of the peach treats cakes and a caramel macchiato. The peach treat was yummy, and the caramel macchiato is the best I have had. If in south Chesapeake nearby stop on in, you won't be disappointed. read more

Congrats JoYu Chesapeake on your Grand Opening this morning. There was a big turnout due to the first 50 customers getting a free Tumblr and in the first five hours you purchased a drink you received a card for your next five drinks to be free. It took about an hour to get through the line because I got there right when they opened the door. Joy you Chesapeake was a packed house, but the line move quickly. The owner was really nice and all hands were on deck to get everybody's orders in a timely manner. No complaints here because everyone was so happy and patiently waiting for their turn. When it was my turn, I ordered a honeydew milktea with light sugar and light ice. I did the regular size today, but you can always choose a larger size for only $1 dollar more. Now, it's just a tradition for me to get the Green Zen Strawberry Croffle when I come to JoYu. This particular croffle is just so buttery, crispy and the Matcha really complements it as well as the strawberries. It's just a must to get now when coming to JoYu Tea and Coffee. Congrats again JoYu Chesapeake on your Official Grand Opening. You had a great turnout and it seemed to be a great success. Thank you for having this event. I can't wait to try more drinks off the menu in future visits to come. read more

I wish I could give today a 5 star but it really didn't rate it with my recent visit. The service was ok, not how they were the last time I came in. They also no longer serve the donuts that they originally had available which is what my husband wanted. Alas, my littles all picked a drink to enjoy and they all did just that. The drinks were good, the Ube Milk Drink was rated 8/10. The mango storm 9/10. Caramel Cococream with strawberry jelly was rated a 10/10. Place was clean and quiet, not busy. read more

The service was quick and easy. I loved the space and interior design. The pastries in the front look very cute. The tiramisu coffee was super strong which I didn't mind and the tiramisu cream on top was delicious. However the croffle was undercooked in the middle. The whipped cream topping was already half melted and had no sweetness. read more

I know it's probably best to separate these reviews but I had to combine them because these are literally two of my favorite spots and now they're side by side and connected! I was so happy when I found out. Living in Chesapeake and working in Virginia Beach this makes it so much more convenient to grab both in one trip. The coconut chicken used to be my go-to back in the day but lately I've been getting the coconut shrimp and it's still just as amazing. So flavorful and always hits the spot. As for Joyyu my favorite drink is the Avocado Joyyu. There's just something about the condensed milk and avocado combo that I absolutely love lol. It's smooth, sweet and super satisfying every time. My only complaint about Joyyu is the oven they have on the counter near the front of the store it's loud! Every time it finishes cooking it's so noisy it has my ears ringing. Other than that I'm always happy to stop by. read more

Joyu Tea & Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I stopped by Joyu Tea and Coffee in Chesapeake, VA today, and honestly, I was impressed from start to finish. I've been trying different coffee shops lately, and this one easily stands out. I ordered their Cookies & Cream Latte, and it was so good. Not too sweet, not too bitter literally tasted like cookies and cream. A lot of coffee shops have these fancy drink names that don't taste anything like what they advertise, but Joyu's flavor was actually there. It tasted like milk and cookies in a cup, exactly what I wanted. I also tried the Chocolate Banana Croffle, and that was really good too. I'm not even a big chocolate person, but if you love chocolate, this is the one you should get. Rich, flavorful, and freshly made. The customer service was amazing. The woman who helped us was super friendly and actually asked about our preferences things like how much ice we wanted. I always forget to mention that I like light ice, so the fact that she asked without me having to say anything was a nice touch. The shop itself is clean, cute, and inviting. They also have so many options: sandwiches, ice cream, cakes, and more. Everything in the display looked delicious. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed my experience at Joyu. Great drinks that actually taste like what they're supposed to taste like, good food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely go back and try more of their menu! read more
