    Tea Do is another addition to the great list of boba spots in Richmond. It's located on VCU campus and has plenty of seating for casual lounging. Despite there being a small category for "hot drinks" on the menu, the employees let me know that I could order any drink hot, which I really appreciate. The hot brown sugar tiger milk was perfect on a cold night. I'd be interested in returning and trying some of their food items as well.

    First visit to a Tea Do and enjoyed! Great stop for an Asian snack & tea varieties. Daughter raved about this spot so I had to try. Service was super friendly, place was clean, food and drink were delicious. There were several options of Onigiri. Onigiri is like a triangle shaped sushi hand roll. I chose an Unagi/eel and Salmon Onigiri for my daughter. Both were served warm and with a spicy mayo sauce. Please remember to read the instructions on how to open so you don't do what I did! :) everything fell apart but that was my fault. I don't play victim. Salmon had more meat than the Eel Onigiri but both equally warm and delicious! Will definitely be back for a snack!

    This place is unfortunately located too close to me so it's taking too much of my money lol. I get the jasmine milk tea each time. The boba is always cooked well and the tea is never powdery. I tried the onigiri (shrimp tempura and baked salmon) for the first time, and it was okay. It was decently sized, but still overpriced. I wouldn't recommend the shrimp tempura one since there's only one shrimp tempura in it, so it's mainly rice. The baked salmon was alright, but both onigiri were cold. They also provide complimentary spicy mayo in to-go containers, but they put way too little in each container. Of course, this place prioritizes its boba over its food, so I wouldn't let the aforementioned dissuade you from trying it out!

    I was super looking forward to trying Tea Do's opening in RVA but unfortunately it didn't really live up to its NOVA counterparts. Maybe because it's still so new but the boba was way overcooked and mushy. The jasmine milk tea was a little watered down. The brown sugar milk was pretty decent - brown sugar flavors were definitely present but almost overpowered the milk. The staff were friendly and the store is spacious with lots of seating. However I think they are still ironing out some details because I heard staff asking customers to pick other flavors cause some aren't available yet. I know how solid NOVA Tea Do can be so I'd give them a couple of weeks or months to smoothen things out before trying again!

    Everyone is so nice here the service was amazing! Their workers Chris, Hien, Jason and Aidan were so nice to me! Tables are always clean and I saw the worker Jason wiping so well! Amazing atmosphere and I would totally go here again! Closest place for takoyaki! They need a raise bc this takoyaki make my pussy poppin

    The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the boba is absolutely perfect! 10/10, highly recommend!

    I love this place! I was driving past and I saw this place and decided to stop to give it a try. I was not near my usual Boa spot. I will return! Great quality and flavor! I ordered the Tropical Twister with Lychee Pop & Green Tea Jelly. Delicious!

After we parked, I had to squeeze out of my car in order to not hit the car next to us lol! When we walked in, we couldn't help but notice how absolutely beautiful the store was! Not only do they sell baked goods, they also offer food, coffee, cocktails, wine and an array of different items as well. I was immediately drawn to the plants. As a plant mom, I wanted to buy every single one lol. Since we were a bit hungry, we decided on grabbing some food as well. My sister ordered the Chicken Pot Pie and my daughter and I decided on the Beef Bourguinon and the Pepperoni Pizza. The other pizza option was the Chorizo with Hot Honey so I asked if they could add the Hot Honey on to the Pepperoni Pizza but they couldn't (not sure why lol), so I had to buy my own Hot Honey to add to it. While we waited for the food, we did grab some desserts. My favorite was the Rice Krispy Treats and the Shyndigz cookie! Since they had a few tables in the back, we decided to eat while we were there. The Chicken Pot Pie tasted okay but the Beef Bourguinon needed lacked flavor so we asked for some salt/pepper and it helped a little. My Pepperoni Pizza was actually pretty good, especially with the Hot Honey drizzled on top. Before we left, I looked over their wine selection and purchased a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. I wish I lived closer because I'd be at Shyndigz all the time. The service was great and I definitely want to try their other baked goods! I'll be back for sure!

I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Free off street parking is plentiful. There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.
