    Coconut Milk Tea (Contain Tree Nut)
    Stephanie S.

    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

    TG Volcannno
    Kat T.

    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.

    Volcannno w. Foam & Nut
    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.

    Did the chesapeake location change its hours to open at 12pm?

    Yes, for the winter time (only temporary )

    Can the milk teas be blended?

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

Many other people were having business meetings and working remote. There is outside seating as well as plenty of seating inside and just as many electric outlets to keep the technology charged while the body charges from their delicious coffee. Parking is also free for up to 2 hours in the garage behind the shops. This is a wonderful well run coffee place!

Coffees, teas seasonal drinks, sandwiches and pastries. My husband and I were taking a quick break from. Hopping and decided on drinks and a pastry. We ordered the grinch matcha latte, a gingerbread latte and a spinach feta pastry. Omg both of us loved the grinch. I've been searching for a matcha I could enjoy and this is it! All the right notes: not too sweet, creamy and the matcha well blended in the milk-think no grainy residue at the end. If I'm in the matcha mood I'm coming to get this. The grinch was so good I think it made the gingerbread latte less exciting but it was still delicious! The expresso was strong so for a non Coffee drinker like me it wasn't my favorite but my husband thought it was great. The pastry came out hot and was delicious. Everything came out fairly fast so even with the crowd we were there less than 30 minutes. I want to come back and try more drinks and a salad that seems up my alley. Please check out this locals establishment. You won't be disappointed!!
