I recently visited Joyu Tea and tried the taro brown sugar lava milk tea. I ordered it at 50%…read moresweetness, and it was still really sweet. If you're not big on sugary drinks, I'd either skip this one or order it at 25% sugar. That said, it was definitely delicious and very pretty to look at. The staff was friendly and patient while we took our time deciding. We asked for suggestions, and they happily shared their favorites and helped us narrow things down. They also offer pastries. I've had the croffle before, and it was pretty good. Overall though, the drinks are the highlight. It's a small space and more of a grab-and-go spot with limited seating. But they have a huge variety boba teas, coffee teas, slushies, and classic milk teas so there's something for whatever you're in the mood for. If you're looking for a good drink in Virginia Beach, this is definitely worth checking out. I'd come back to try more flavors.

Just want to shoutout their frozen yogurt cakes! I really…read morewanted to support a local business for my birthday this year, but I wanted to get a cake under $30, especially because I only celebrated with my family. 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! Already thinking about getting a cake here again :)

I mean I did enjoy the taro and mango but it didn't compare to the coconut. And as a lactose intolerant girlie my husband also appreciated the dairy free coconut option!

It's basically a two-for-one win for them. The tea shop itself is inviting and the staff at both locations are genuinely friendly and personable. Every visit feels welcoming, not rushed. The girls loved their drinks (the flavors are spot-on and not overly sweet), and they've already asked to go back several times. In fact, they've been back a couple times just this month! If you're looking for a tasty drink, warm service, and the bonus of amazing noodles right next door, this spot is definitely worth a stop.

It's been a while, so I was pleasantly surprised to see they renovated a little bit. It looks like there is more seating for groups and they have new touch screens for ordering. One down side to having a self serve option, the people behind the counter acted like they couldn't be bothered to stop their conversation to answer my question. They just did not give friendly vibes lol I ordered the dirty brown sugar milk tea, and unlike most boba shops, this does not come with boba - you have to add it bringing the total for a large close to $8. It was fine, very faint tea taste and not very creamy like a milk tea should be. I also ordered a mango yogurt with star peach jellies. This was pretty sweet but a good, non caffeinated option for my daughter. Overall, I think their drinks are decent but not somewhere I frequent. It cost $27 for two large drinks (one topping each) and one medium drink (one topping)

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 have less options than some other boba places, but i was able to find something i would drink . I got the chocolate slushie. I wanted oreo but this was the closest option. It was creamy and satisfying. I do wish it was a bigger size drink option. They don't sell any type of food or appetizers. Its a cute little shop with plenty of seating and games to play at each table. It was clean inside with a chill vibe. The owner was very sweet and easy to talk to. There was no one there when i went. So it was pretty quite inside... I will return to try other things on the menu. Check them out!!!!

Total lack of variety! Nothing truly stands out. This place sells basically a "collection" of asian…read moreinspired items. Way better boba you can get literally anywhere else, korean corndogs that would taste way better if they were authentic. Then mochi donuts. Basic base with sloppy icing and toppings on top. On top of that, the prices were just too high for what you actually get. Mochi donuts already tend to be a bit pricier, but in this case, the quality and taste just didn't justify the cost. The texture was alright, but the flavors themselves were underwhelming and didn't have that rich, satisfying taste you'd expect at that price point. The experience was also affected by the atmosphere behind the counter. The workers seemed inexperienced and overwhelmed, which made the environment feel hectic and unorganized. Service was slower than expected, and there wasn't much sense of efficiency or confidence from the staff. P.S. Banana milk tea tastes like laffy taffy. Yuck! I expected something like banana milk at LEAST!

We also got some mochi donuts. I got the pistachio flavor and my bf got the churro flavor. My bubble tea was so good! Really well made and not too sweet at all, just like I like it. 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!

The crumb cake and cruffin were also very good, but more on the sweeter side and my wife enjoyed them a lot! We also tried the strawberry vanilla matcha drink, matchai, coconut hazelnut latte and the spiced French vanilla latte. All very delicious and beautifully crafted. Even though it can get busy here, I don't feel overwhelmed at all as it is spacious and cozy inside. This spot is a must try and somewhere I'd go back often, not good for the wallet! Lol!
