    Berry Violet Aura
    Benny A.

    My fiance and I go here multiple times a week since 2022. They are definitely the best boba shop in town. I drank the Berry Violet Aura. It is very refreshing. The place is very bright and comfy feeling. They always serve with a smile on their face and always greet hi and goodbye even when it is very busy.

    Our teas were delicious, the boba was warm (so you know it's fresh), and they have several new toppings we've yet to see. Cute seating areas too.

    Everything was amazing. The food was amazing. The service was amazing. I got the mango storm and strawberry croffle. And cookies and cream.It was so good

    I brought my nieces and nephews here to experience boba tea for the first time while we were in town visiting. I purchased 7 drinks total using the kiosk. All but one enjoyed their drink but I replaced it with another one. So, I spent a nice penny in here. I probably wouldnt return because I was not greeted and didn't get offered any assistance while placing my orders on the kiosk. I did try to ask the guy for help and he gave me an answer that didnt really clear it up for me but I was already overwhelmed and just wanted to wrap up the order. My drink was decent but the service just wasn't up to par with my liking. It was mainly the guy. There was a female that apologized for the tea that wasnt good but that's it. Maybe this is more for regular visitors that already know the establishment.

    JoYu is such a cute little cafe with friendly staff members who are professional and ready to help/answer questions. They do have a self serve kiosk for when you are browsing their menu, and they have nice pictures to accompany each drink. I love their cute cups and the fact that they offer sweet treat options now too! On Tuesdays, they do buy one get one 1/2 off which is great for trying different menu items! I will continue to be back to explore their mentions and various kitchen items soon!

    I wish JoYu had multiple locations or is closer to Norfolk because they are fantastic. I normally opt for their tea, but the one item I came away impressed with was their crookie. JoYu's crookie is a combination of a croissant and a cookie. The one I had was a chocolate chip cookie baked into a croissant. It's rich and the chocolate is so decadent, I loved each bite. I can't wait to return and pick up a few more of them. Service is fast and friendly - a friend and I didn't wait long for our order (we came in on Sunday night, and it was actually a little busy). The facility looked clean as everything was neat and tidy with no trash laying around. Thank you for your wonderful tea and crookies, JoYu! JV

    My new favorite place! I work in the area often and on my way back home I stopped by Joyu for a banh mi and matcha smoothie. The combo banh mi is so good! One of the best banh mi's I've had. Definitely stopping by again when I'm in town.

    Sophia and I were last here a year ago checking out this spot which was new at the time. Since we were in the area last Saturday, we decided to stop by to see what's been going in. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. One thing that I noticed was they added a self-service kiosk which saves time for staff taking orders directly. As far as inside goes, everything looked pretty neat like before. And music was playing adding a calm-like vibe throughout. A few people were inside either dining in or ordering to-go. My selection was a large Strawberry Yogurt at 50% sugar with tapioca pearls added. This was very good. Not too sweet even with the pearls added. Sophia ordered an Ube Mike Cream and enjoyed herself as well. Not really much to add here, but once again, Joyu came through for us before we made the trek home. Hopefully, we'll be back soon. Till next time :)

    Peach and lemon dessert
    Jessica M.

    One of my favorite boba spots. I tried the peach and lemon desserts recently it was good! The owner is friendly and accommodating. The decor inside is cute and it's a nice place to sit, hangout, and grab a drink.

    Cute Asian cafe with plenty of parking, board games, and free WiFi! I ordered their very berry latte with 0% ice, oat milk, and peach pops, topped with milk foam. Not too sweet. Perfect size (large). I recommend stirring it with a straw such that the berry is actually part of the drink! Would come again!

    It's been a while since I visited JoYu Tea. I ordered the caramel and the ube cream . Service was good. Ambiance was as I remembered. Coffee in each of these beverages were slightly too bitter for my liking.

A must stop if you have company visiting. They have a great flavor offering and you can also build your own ice if you'd like. I've been a few times, but recently I took my nieces and they both decided to get the Mug flavor which is not a fruity flavor. It leans towards cinnamon, root beer and coffee flavors and it was surprisingly soooo good. I cannot wait to get that the next time I go. I also recommend their Pitaya in Paradise which has dragonfruit and lime as well.. Honestly, you can't go wrong as long as you pick typical flavors you like. Check them out the next time you have a free day to vibe out. The staff is super sweet and friendly and are willing to answer any questions. They're really patient.

I chose strawberry, but it was straight strawberry syrup. In hindsight, I probably should have gone with the ice cream option instead. The bigger issue was cleanliness. When I went to pay, the card reader had what looked like some oily substance on it. My tap payment wouldn't read, so I had to insert my card, and afterward, I had to wipe it down before putting it back in my wallet. It wasn't the best impression. The ice cream may be the main attraction here, but with so many great ice cream shops in the area, nothing about this visit really stood out enough to bring me back.

I ended up on the combo of their soup and salad since their soup also sounded good. I was hesitant on the strawberries in the wine country salad since I know they're not in season really, but they were lovely. Everything in the salad worked well together and the dressing was nice and vinegary while still tasting of raspberries. It was very well balanced except for the ratio of toppings to greens. I feel as though there was just a little too much toppings. It could've used more leafs. As for the soup, it was a little bland, but after adding salt and pepper it tasted nice. It was mostly soup rather than crab or corn though. That was my only critique really, the temperature was good as well. It could've used some crackers on the side, but it wasn't necessary, just would've been a nice touch. Our waitress was quite nice, checked up on us and got us refills. All of our food came out together and hot. The sandwiches on other people's plates all looked wonderful, and after having a shoestring fry, I can definitely say next time I will be ordering some of those. As far as ambiance goes, it was nicely lit but still moody, which was appreciated. Very chill in there. Only reason I rate it 3 stars is because I feel as though there's room for improvement food wise, and price wise. $20+ for almost everything on the menu is pretty ridiculous. Even for some of the simple items. I don't think the food is that good, proportionately appropriate, or creative to be that much money. Maybe it's just me, but that's how I feel. I'll probably be back to try more items, I'd recommend coming here at least once to try if you haven't, during happy hour to get the best prices if you can.
