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.

Jasmine tea with coconut cream and boba

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.

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!

Red Velvet Cookies

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.

Tiramisu Coffee

Friendly and attentive staff, best boba drinks in Virginia Beach, cute store for any occasion!

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

Sign inside

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 :)

We got taro brown sugar with flan and hazelnut milk tea with boba and both were tasty and creamy flavors

Peach and lemon dessert

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.

The ambiance is nice and a good amount of seating. The wall with the logo adds a unique and eye catching touch to the place.

Not pictured but I had the Honeydew boba milk tea and was slightly disappointed that it tasted a little watered down but still good overall. I've had the fruit teas in the past and like those even more than the milk tea. Overall, great experience and will be definitely be returning.

The boba was perfectly chewy, too. I tried my boyfriend's lemonade and omg! It was so tart and sweet and absolutely delicious! The cup was very cute too. I love the heart adornment! We put this place as number one after we drank our drinks. After dinner we had our donuts and it was so good. I questioned if my boyfriend even tasted his lol. It was gone so fast. The pistachio one was really good too. I didn't want a super sweet donut and this one hit the mark. Just sweet enough with pistachio crumbles on top. As I said, this place is number one. We will definitely be back because this is my favorite location to get a fun drink now! We also definitely want to try some of the other foods, like the Korean hot dogs and waffle fries!

Ever since all of the Kung Fu Tea locations in the 757 area closed, I've been searching for a replacement, and this is the only place I've found that serves taro milk green tea. It tastes just like the one I used to get from Kung Fu Tea, which made me so happy! As the name suggests, it's more of a order-and-go shop. They have two self-order kiosks if you want to order yourself, or you can order directly at the register. The staff has always been friendly whenever I've visited. The shop itself is small, but that's expected for a order-and-go concept. They do have a few benches where you can sit while you wait for your order, which is a nice touch. If you're looking for great bubble tea especially if you're a fan of taro milk green tea I definitely recommend giving Tapioca Go a try!

I went for the classic milk tea with boba -- creamy, balanced, and refreshing without being cloyingly sweet. What stood out here is the setup: the clean, organized counter and the option to order through the self-service kiosk makes the whole process seamless. Even on a busy afternoon, the line moved quickly and my drink was ready in minutes. The staff kept things moving while still being friendly, and the space itself feels bright and uncluttered, a nice break from some of the more chaotic tea shops around. At just over $10, it's pricier than your corner boba spot, but Gong Cha delivers on consistency and quality -- plus I lucked out with a surprise freebie today (always a mood booster). Whether you're a seasoned boba fan or just need a dependable milk tea fix, this location hits the mark. Solid drinks, efficient service, and no stress. That's worth five stars.

They also offer matchas, Vietnamese coffees, fruit teas, coconut waters and slushies along with Vietnamese sandwiches and snacks. It took no time for our drinks to be made and we both enjoyed them but they were a tad bit sweet for our liking, I'm sure it was due to the added flavored syrup. They've only been open a year but I can see this place being pretty busy this Summer. I'll definitely be back to try some of the other drink options. Definitely stop in if you're in the area!

After some online searching, I found out Yo Mama has cakes! I've enjoyed ice cream cakes in the past, and I've enjoyed Yo Mama's frozen yogurt in the past, so I decided to give it a try! At the time of writing (3/2024), their frozen yogurt cakes are $25, and it came out to $27.88 with tax. You can pick two flavors to be layers on the cake. The flavor options they had available were taro, cake batter, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, mango, pineapple, and strawberry. They also told me I could pick either brownie pieces or pound cake for the middle of the cake and pirouline crumbs, sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, and mochi for the top of the cake. I opted for a mango and taro cake (I love both of those flavors), and told them they can choose what they think is best for the rest of the cake. Looking back, I kinda wish I requested for taro for the top layer because I love the color purple, but it's all good! It was absolutely delicious, and my family very much enjoyed it as well!
