I stopped by here the other day for a boba tea, and discovered they also had a basque cake. I've wanted to try one so I inquired about the ingredients beforehand. The staff politely told me the ingredients. I also tried a coconut milk tea. It was light and refreshing. The cake was rich and decadent...truly delicious. You rider via the kiosk and then they'll let you know once your order is ready. They have a few tables if you want to sit and drink your tea or eat your sweets.

I stopped by Tapioca Go to get a Lychee Green Tea one day and let my boyfriend take a sip. He enjoyed it so much that after we got to his house, we went back to get himself his own drink and another for myself! Ever since then, it's been our go-to boba shop whenever we're in Chesapeake. Love how Tapioca Go isn't too pricey, gives you a generous portion of toppings, and doesn't give you too much ice in your drinks. Thank you Tapioca Go for being the first boba shop to get my boyfriend hooked on boba :)

Definitely the best boba place in the tri-city area (that I've been to so far). I get the same thing everywhere I go; taro with tapioca boba. The drink my husband gets here is always delicious as well! My only qualm are the somber faces that you continuously get from behind the counter. This place really needs to take some lessons in friendly service. It's the only drawback keeping it from 5 stars. I get everyone has a bad day, but I've been here probably 10 times and the attitudes are the same across the board, no matter which cashier you get.

Randomly decided i wanted a boba type drink to carry home with me Saw this little shop tucked away in the shopping center I did a quick Yelp search and decided yes yes I want this Oh I love the one piece decorations that are all over the restaurant The prices are very reasonable they have peach popping boba as well normally I only see strawberry I was very excited for this. Then I saw they have a matcha drink with red bean as a topping and I got super excited I ordered two drinks with no regrets hahaha I got the Hawaiian tea which came with a full slab of pineapple I say slab because it was like rack of ribs hahaha it was the biggest spear of pineapple id ever had in a drink and It was sweet and juicy The matcha drink also had a cheese foam topping this was my favorite for such. Next time I'll ask for no ice but otherwise it was perfect The staff are friendly and work very fast. The bathrooms were clean and the whole place had a great feel to it

I have had better boba tea unfortunately. I'm a HUGE fan of boba tea. And I have to try it everywhere I go. I had high hopes for my drink and was disappointed. I got the TG Volcannno. I liked the nuts. But the flavor fell short for me. It tasted like just milk with a little bit of brown sugar. I feel like another flavor could've made this so much better. 5 out 10 My hubs got the red bean milk tea. And it had a very strong tea flavor and the red beans were hard to suck up. 7 out 10 Overall it could've been better for me.

Stephanie S.

This was the best boba drink I've had! I got the volcanno with foam and nut, and it was amazing! I absolutely loved the flavor added by the nut. It wasn't like anything I've had with boba before. I'll definitely be coming back again in the future!

I went to Tapioca Go in search of some good boba teas to quench my thirst. Upon entry, I was promptly greeted. I told the girl it was my first time and she handed me a menu and suggested I check out the poster board with all the fan favorites (see pics). I'm am pretty old school when it comes to Boba or Bubble Tea (tomato/tomatoe). I remember when bubble teas were so basic with just teas and milk teas with just the tapioca pearls. I get overwhelmed now with all the teas, milks, froths/snow creams (even smoothies, like what? How is that a tea?) and even the types of bubbles and jellies! I was getting order stress with too many options, so I decided to go for a fruity tea and a milky one. Passionfruit Green Tea with mango star jellies and popping peach pearls - I was initially going to go with Mango Green Tea but the girl suggested going with the Passionfruit Green Tea so I wouldn't get such an intensity of the mango, not that there is anything wrong with that being a mango lover. I'm glad I took her advice because it was a nice medley of tropical fruity flavors with the three fruits. I must say, being old school, I actually prefer these jellies and popping pearls. Right amount of sweet. It was refreshing and satisfied my craving. Thai Tea - I chose to get a Thai Tea as a drink to save for later and also to try the milk variety since I got a fruity one for immediate consumption. It was also on the Top 10 board so I thought I would give it a shot. I opted not to get the tapioca pearls since I got the fruity ones in the fruity tea. It was really good and just perfect when I did have it later today. - Notes/Tips - *They offer a military discount only on Mondays. (Thank you, TG!) *I noticed that the Brown Sugar Milk Tea seems to be available only on certain days. Not sure if this is just for this particular item but that's what I noticed at first glance at the menu. *Not sure if they had seating before this pandemic, or even before this new variant, but the bathrooms were blocked off and closed. No tables and chairs and there is a counter by the window, but no barstools either. In case you decided to dine in. *They have a rewards program that you sign up simply with your phone number and you earn points to get free teas. Sure, I'm in. It's conveniently located on Sam's Drive in the same strip as Judy's, so I was able to knock the 2 places at once! There are so many good spots around the area too! Stay safe, Friends!

We were getting lunch together at a place nearby and I really wanted some boba. I opened my handy dandy Yelp app and found this store right around the corner. I went with the honeydew milk tea with crystal boba. The drink was okay, it wasn't terrible, but instead of a strong honeydew flavor, the entire drink tasted florally. Some sips it felt as if I sprayed my grandmother's perfume in my mouth. Not sure if it was the tea itself or the crystal boba. The boba itself were tiny little balls and they were incredible firm. Not soft like I expected. My husband got a normal black milk tea and his was quite enjoyable. They did take the wrong name down the first day, but we liked how they made the experience a little more personal by asking for our names. We came back the next day day and I asked about the honeydew, and they remade one for me and gave me a sample cup to try. It tasted the same. I don't know if it's because of the Jasmine tea they use and I'm more acclimated to black tea, but I couldn't force myself to drink it. They gladly made me a regular iced black milk tea instead and my husband got a chai. The staff were pleasant both days, and we'd easily recommend the iced black and chai milk teas.

My boba journey started in this area about 6 years ago! As I am in the area at least once per year, it provides opportunities to try new venues, and Tapioca Go did not disappoint! From my home area here in RI to this area, Tapioca Go truly did not disappoint! And if I'm being honest you may want to go here first in the Chesapeake or Virginia Beach area! You will not be sorry!

Cute little kick back. Drinks were delicious and the puffs were to die for. Not too sweet. Will be back soon.

I came in to try this place after a recommendation from my mom, also because there was a bubble tea place where I used to live that I was absolutely obsessed with. I found Tapioca Go to be a little different because I was used to milk tea with toppings included and fruity flavors to choose from. Here, they have non-fruity milk tea and those kinds of flavors are in the form of the regular tea drinks. I opted for the rose milk tea after talking with the woman taking my order trying to help me figure out the closest option. I added peach boba (50 cents) because I really did want that sweet fruity flavor. And boy was my drink sweet alright! Just the way I like it. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful so despite my hesitation/lack of familiarity with the menu I'll definitely come back to try something else. read more

Warm atmosphere as soon as you enter. This is nice given that it is a hike from where we were, but worth the visit. Vibe reminded me of the Skinny Dip on Kempsville Road in VB. Might be the same owners. Anyways, staff was informational and at the time were looking for things to make. Destiny was the cashier to take our order. She offered several samples to make sure our actual purchase was one we'd feel solid with - ginger tea, 25% sugar, light ice, and mango star jelly. She cute too, plus some of the other ones back in their grindin. I digress. Jokes aside, their team were quick to make sure they had themselves in position once the sale was solid. The seating area was also nice. A lot of hardwood so I felt like I was in a small cabin or on the basketball court. Their wall decor was Pokémon-themed, which might be 2 years too late if you're only getting into Pokémon now. Otherwise it's timeless and only "90s kids will remember this." PRO TIP: Sit at the rear booth. Best IG pics there and most room. Also you won't feel the draft from the front door as much or have to hear the customers order. The parking was fine. Pulled up in the 'Rari so I made sure I could feel comfortable with my spot and had a clear visual. Psych. I pulled in the Camaro, but still, ya boi was out there breaking necks on these streets! #1 Question, "IS IT BETTER THAN KUNG FU TEA?!" - It's on a different playing field than KFT because the decor was more in tune with a suburban and "Anime" feel (go in and you'll probably agree, or not.) - This vibe is more family friendly, and area feels warmer to be around. - Nothing wrong with the shopping center that KFT is in, but TG's shopping center seems newer, so I felt more at ease. - There were games and activities to do while you wait or hang out. Bottom line: It ain't "Boba Guys," and neither is KFT. read more

Im so excited about this new bubble tea place called Tapioca Go . This place reminds me of Pokemon Go , when you walk inside the store there's a lot of Pokemon character pictures . The staff are really friendly and nice . Since it was my first time here , they had samples of milk tea so people can taste before purchasing one . I got the Rose Milk Tea and Passion Fruit Green Tea . Theres so many toppings to choose from . I got the Strawberry heart Jelly topping . Both were very good ! This is the best bubble tea place I've ever been to so far . Tapioca Go offers free wifi , also an everyday discount 20% off Military and 10% off High School and college students and board games to enjoy with friends. I can honestly say it competed with Kung Fu Tea . Plus this place is closer to where i stay . Yayy ! I will definitely be coming back with friends so they can try as well ! read more

My husband loves boba drinks. We came during the soft opening and I loved the fact that all drinks were 50%off. It was a great way for us to try the flavors without breaking the bank. I like when you walk in it's cute, quaint, and clean. The boba didn't take too long to make. However they asked for our name at the register but when calling it out they just said "hey, your drink order is ready" my other problem I have with it is the location. It's quite a drive. So even though it's cheaper than some of the other boba shops I'd only get it if I am in the area. read more

If you love a bright and playful atmosphere or just love Pokémon and Bubble Tea, Tapioca Go Is a one stop shop for a wide selection of tasty desert drinks and toppings! The bubbles are not hard nor too soft but just firm and chewy enough. The cashier was informative of their drinks and helpful when I was about to grab a smoothie with bubbles in it. I learned that the cold temperature will cool the bubbles and make them hard over time. One thing I would recommend is a change of music playlist and to get rid of advertisements. Overall a great tea shop with a great selection of flavors! read more

I come here and fulfill my bubble tea craving every time I'm down in Chesapeake. In NOVA, there is no shortage of bubble tea shops but they're very far and few in between in Chesapeake and I have to say, it stands up there in my top 3 fave bubble tea places. We like the mango strawberry smoothie, the TG Sunset, the Galaxy, any of their fruity green teas BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY? This place gets the BOBA perfectly. Literally, every single time I've gotten a drink the boba has been the perfect consistency of hard/soft and chewy. On top of that, they have adorable star shaped jellies and if that's not the way to a boba lover's heart, I don't know what is. read more

Was excited to have a boba place in Chesapeake so hubby and I tried this spot for the first time but was let down. Maybe if we didn't know any better, it would have been okay but we've been boba'n it up for a long time now and this does not impress us. The Taro Milk Green Tea is subpar and so is their Matcha Milk Green Tea. First, their milk tea to ice ratio is not correct. Got both drinks lukewarm-ish. The taro milk green tea has a weird taste to it that I can't pin point. So disappointed but I guess we'll have to keep driving to VB for some good boba drink. read more

Most of them can do the blending like a smoothie, you can always ask the cashier even is not on the menu

They also offer delicious and healthy toppings such as chia pudding, granola, dried fruit, and nuts, which make every bowl feel satisfying and nutritious. I always top my bowl with Nutella, my husband likes his with a honey drizzle. My favorite part is their açaí. It is scooped, so it is not runny. It has a thick, sorbet-style texture. They also offer other flavors like mango, coconut, chocolate and more. They are also offering hot oats right now, which is perfect for fall and provides a warm, wholesome option when you want something cozy and nutritious. Although Everbowl is a franchise, this location is locally owned by the nicest couple who are deeply passionate about community and team building. If you follow their social media, you can get a glimpse of the events they do!

The service was also excellent; everyone was friendly and welcoming. I couldn't decide which cake I wanted and they encouraged me to get all three lol. Besides the cakes, they have a nice variety of treats like macarons, bubble teas, frozen shakes, and Blue Bell ice cream, so there's something for everyone. If you love dessert, definitely check this place out!

I quickly picked up that the woman behind the counter was one of the owners and her husband was nearby in the seating area. She explained that their shakes were meant to be meal replacements and we low calorie with high protein. She gave us a few suggestions and even let us sample a hot and fresh protein waffle! It was pretty good, if I was dieting and keeping count of my carbs/protein intake I would definitely be interested in it. We looked over the handout menu which had photos to help us narrow down what we wanted. We ended up choosing the Oreo and Blueberry Specialty Shakes. Both were $9 each. She asked us if we liked our shakes more icy, creamy, or in between. And asked if we wanted whipped cream. She was very friendly and genuine our entire visit. We waited 5-10 minutes for our shakes to be blended and then I had to get my photos for Yelp! The shakes were pretty big so I thought it was a good bang for your buck. They give you wide straws since it can be a little thicker than a typical shake. Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be coming back! The owner was so sweet and saw that I was taking pictures of the shakes so she asked if she could take a picture of us and tag me on Instagram. I thought that was pretty good promotion because nowadays social media can be extremely beneficial to a business. I was surprised they didn't have many Yelp reviews yet because she said they had been there for a year. The inside was clean and inviting. I did not notice if they had a public restroom though.

That's not the word they used but I just wanted to let somebody know that it did smell really bad in there and they need to do something about the odor cause it's very odorous and they could get some type of air freshener up in there. I feel really bad for the employees because they don't know That it's even there cause they're working in it constantly like maybe it could be like a really dirty mop head that's making the business smell bad. Maybe they need to change their mop because that could be contributing to the really bad smell...

I was told that Virginia Beach didn't really had much options in terms of bubble tea just about a year ago or so; the "biggest" ones were Yo Mama and Jelly Ball. So it definitely caught me and my friends by surprise when we start seeing new bubble tea places like Tapioca Go showed up, which according to their website, is an import from NY (or at least inspired by places in NY since I haven't of any Tapioca Go there), which is known for it's home grown brand like Kung Fu Tea and imports like CoCo and ShareTea from Taiwan and Boba Guys from San Francisco. Coming in to the store, I feel very welcomed with the all the more relate-able music playing in the background, and the cute decorations and set pieces around! It definitely seems like this store has put in some good effort to tailor it to the younger and more hip demographics; they are the children of the future after all! The staff is very friendly and seems to be working very hard for their soft opening since yesterday or a day ago. I decided to go with the tried and true milk tea with bubble, which is my go to drink for any new bubble tea joints that I try out! Overall, I think the tea is very aromatic and definitely tasted like it's freshly brewed from loose leafs instead of from powder or grounded tea leaves. The sweetness level seems to be pretty on point! A lot of the other bigger chain bubble tea stores tend to have an issue with over-sweetening their drinks at the normal level to appeal to the sugar-addicted population in the US, so it's good to see that this place is making a statement about remaining true to the tea's taste by not overshadowing it with loads of sugar! The bubble itself however did seem to need a little bit more work; it didn't have the consistent "soft, but chewy" taste that I get from the bubble tea places that I like the most. Granted this is just their soft opening and they are new, so they could still be working on perfecting it! The wait is also a little longer than I would have liked, but I'm sure they are still working on getting people all trained up. I will definitely have to come back and give this store a second try when I come visit VA Beach again, because I REALLY want to try the Thai tea drink!! read more

I am sick and tired of fake, copy cat, chinese owned companies! I am from New York and I looked up their business, it only exists in Mexico!! Why would you lie to your customers to gain popularity as a business model? How can we trust your company? What else is fake? Your tea? Flavors? Bubbles? Their Thai tea was mediocre at best, would not recommend it, I drove 20 minutes to get there, I will not be going back! One star for their decor, I like the clean feel. Also, Stop asking your friends and family to write fake review for you. read more

I tried the oolong bubble tea here and it was amazing! The tea had a rich, complex flavor that was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the bubbles. The tapioca pearls were cooked just right and had a nice chewy texture. I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more
