    Stopped by for something sweet after grabbing tacos next door! Loved the decor and simplicity of the place. Opted for the cookies and cream milk shake and was surprised by the size (great size for the cost but was a little too sweet for me). When you have a moment, definitely drop by and show support!

    Price good and was super quick to come out. They have self order kiosks you can use too.

    Very cute in here. Looks clean but smells really off putting. A little bit like sewage or trash which could be off putting for a food establishment. Besides that I do enjoy this spot!

    Tealux's second location is a hit! Great location, conveniently in the heart of Ghent. The first location has the advantage of an easy parking lot, but side street parking in Ghent is plentiful most hours of the day, so it's not that big of a deal. Inside, there's a few tables and some high seats along the window. Menu is mostly drinks, with a few food items. I think the other location has a bigger food menu. I really like their Red Roast Pork Banh Mi and last I remember, the new location in Ghent doesn't have it. But the new location DOES have their tofu dessert which I LOVE. For the uninitiated, tofu dessert is well known in most Asian countries, including China, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and a few others. Of course, each country has their own variants, like Southern China's version is mostly sweet, served with a sweet ginger-based syrup, tapioca and sometimes sesame paste. It is a very refreshing dessert with good health benefits. This is also the version served at Tealux. My first time having this dessert was at the first Tealux location. It was served with ginger syrup and tapioca and was served in a bowl. However, when I had it about a week ago at the Ghent location, it was served in a plastic cup, which is definitely not Instagram-worthy...lol Before we eat food, we use our other senses like vision and smell, and serving it in a plastic cup is definitely not visually appealing. So, if y'all are keeping the item on the menu, I hope y'all change up the serving vessel. Overall, I'm definitely glad there's another Tealux! Definitely one of my go-to bubble tea shops in Hampton Roads. Looking forward to future visits!

    Luna Drink, Outside

    LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! My go-to is Luna with Magic Boba, less ice (so more drink) and less sugar! They have new cups and they're so pretty! Service is A+++++ always the sweetest people working there, never had a bad experience! Please keep supporting this business!

    TeaLux is a beautiful, cozy place to enjoy great food and refreshing drinks. Julian greeted me with a welcoming smile and explained the menu items to me and gave me great options for my order. I decided on the Sunset Paradise drink and a Special Combination sandwich. The Sunset Paradise was so sweet and yummy that I smiled while sipping on my tea. The bits of fruit floating in my drink were so tasty that I used a fork to scoop them out when I finished drinking. The special combination sandwich was full of incredible flavors. The sauce melded the two meat combo into a scrumptious treat. I was so full. Yes!! I ordered one to go for my son, Mom points! You will love the outstanding service, coloring, and playing cute games on the bar while your TeaLux treats fill your tummy! People-watching is another plus while at TeaLux in Ghent. Thanks for the great experience, Julian!

    OAT BROWN SUGAR FRESH MILK
    Stephanie S.

    This is a cute, vibrant cafe. The staff is friendly and answered all of my questions. They have a huge variety of bubble teas and even some sweet bites. I had the Oat Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea. It was really good and I love the "pearls." I also like that they have varying sizes. Sometimes I only want a little milk tea so the 16 oz. size was perfect!

    Fantastic!! The family and I participated in the Yelp $7.57 deal Tealux is doing with Yelp. So we got two drinks for $7.57. It was our first time trying Tealux. We we all able to order whatever our little hearts desired. Our drinks were made pretty quick, but the attention to detail did not lack. As I say along with many others... they were all Instagram worthy! We ordered Heart on Fire, Aphrodite, and the canary. My husband got a milk tea. Everyone drank them pretty fast and had no complaints. The interior is so cute and clean. Customer service was great as well. They also have an outdoor patio which is super cute and would be perfect in nice weather.

    MATCHA MILK TEA
    Jessica L.

    I recently was gifted an experience with Yelp, but I came back a few days later on my own dime because I was craving it again! When I went in, there were two gentlemen working this time. I asked for the same exact drink that I ordered a few days prior (a matcha boba tea with limited sugar), but the guy at the register was very adamant about not being able to do that. I told him the other ladies who did my order a few days prior, put less amount of brown sugar syrup, and so he did that. It was good, just not as good as the day before. I will return, but prepare to be smelly like fried food if you go inside. It is a very strong scent, and lingers.

    I love that Tealux is expanding. I'm partial, though, to the original Tidewater Dr location because it's so close to home. Their Ghent location is awesome, too, because it's not far from AW Shucks, a restaurant I frequent a LOT. I can come through after/before Shucks & pick up a tea and/or smoothie (I almost always buy one of the 2). The only issue I have is the parking. Tealux can't help that, but I hate looking for parking on Colley. Oh well, there's always Tidewater Dr, haha. And hopefully Ghent's Tealux will be fully staffed. During my initial visit, there was only one person working (I believe this was still during their soft opening, though), and he told me he worked alone the entire day (I stopped by Sunday evening, 8/28/22). What's worse, while he was making my tea, he slipped and fell hard on his back. He got up, I asked if he was okay and was ready to call 911, but he said he was good to go. I hit him off with a decent tip because I felt bad and I've seen him rock it out before over at the Tidewater spot. I hope Tealux rocks it out in Ghent because I love their drinks and their people!

    LUNA
    Michelle E.

    So I'm so excited to try this new place. I'm looking for a fruit tea and the lady recommended me the Luna! It's a right combination of jasmine tea, lychee, butterfly pea, and sweetness! Surprisingly it good and refreshing! I also got there popcorn chicken was good! I can't wait to come back, and try their other tea here!

    THAI TEA
    Kela G.

    I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon, and was the only patron in the restaurant. It was very chill with pop music and I was greeted when I entered the area. I ordered a Thai tea with oat milk and 50% sugar. Now I will take the blame for the taste because I assumed the oat milk would have been sweetened but it was not. It tasted more like a coffee than tea. However I should have upped the sugar for it and I think it would have been delicious. My total came up to $8 including tip and I will be back.

    One of the most unique boba shops I have visited. Along with boba tea, smoothies, milkshakes, and food items - such as sandwiches are offered. It is a small shop, but the decor is very trendy and there is still plenty of seating, a restroom, and outlets where you can charge up. Hip music plays on the radio. Toys and games are offered to occupy your time and brain while you wait. Service is kind and helpful. I was assisted with signing up for rewards, and I get lots of offers via text from them. We tried the chicken banh mi, Thai Tea, Cookies and Cream smoothie (just like a milkshake, I imagine the taro is the same). The bread on the banh mi is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was very good, full of fresh vegetables and tender meat. My brother loved his thai tea, and my sister and I really enjoyed the Cookies and Cream smoothie. I had to myself the Islander, mentioned in my Yelp Elite Week review. I can't wait to come back!! It's in Ghent, and I live in VA Beach, so it's a ways away - but excitingly, a location is opening up in my city, which I will definitely frequent!

    Stopped by Tea Lux Cafe for a lil boba break and boyyy... this place is a must-sip spot…read more I ordered the Oat Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with boba and physically said "mmm" out loud like I was in a food commercial. Easily one of the best brown sugar flavors I've ever had. Rich. Creamy. Life-changing. Because I make reckless (and delicious) decisions, I also tried the New Blueberry Matcha Latte -- kinda like if blueberry pie and matcha had a sweet little baby. A bit sweet for me, maybe because I didn't give it a full mix... or maybe because I needed to add boba. Either way, still vibed with it. Grabbed some food to-go but peeped the vibe inside -- super cute, perfect for laptop warriors and remote work fam. Ordering at the kiosk was easy, and staff were super helpful if you had questions or just looked confused (me, always). Food-wise I picked from staff's favorites: Spicy Bulgogi Banh Mi (with egg) -- Solid crunch. Flavor was decent, but could've used more bulgogi. Will definitely go extra spicy next time. Fried Buttered Corn -- crunchy, buttery, and served with sausage. It had a lot going on flavor-wise. Fun to try, but next time I'd probably go for the popcorn chicken instead. Final verdict: Come for the drinks -- I'll be sprinting back to try the whole menu. ‍ Food was decent -- a quick, easy spot for a light bite while you sip something fun.

    First walking in, it was heavily decorated with suede-like chairs (maybe initially a good idea but…read morenow covered in stains). There was a game table in the middle for people to play board games. I was looking for an authentic Vietnamese place with some good street food but this was not it. First, all of the food was pretty expensive, especially with the banh mi being so small. Second, it took a really long time for them to make the food. Bánh mì đặc biệt 3/10 The bread was a regular baguette and was not made of the typical banh mi bread. There was no flavor and was quite bland. The sandwich was also extremely small and over priced at almost $8 Bot chiến 7/10 This was pretty good and had all of the components one would expect. The only downside was there wasn't much papaya and it was expensive at $10 Boba 7/10 This was a little too sweet and a bit over priced at $7 for a large Overall, the place did not deliver and was very Americanized. As a Vietnamese person, I've been struggling to find Vietnamese food on both sides of the peninsula. I like that they had bot chien but that was it.

    Very aesthetically pleasing The croissant I had was not as…read moresweet as I wanted it to be, but was still satisfying note to self. Matcha cream is not sweet at all and strawberries are not quite in season I suppose I also had a drink and it was delicious. It had brown sugar, Boba, and a taro milk cap. The service is wonderful and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely be back. I heard that on Tuesdays. They have buy one get one half off.

Joyu has been a very good place when it comes to producing various products. Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)
