We had seen a reel on IG and decided we had to drop by to try some sweet treats. The place was packed inside which is always a great sign of delicious food. We ordered a Thai Tea with boba, a Dubai cheesecake, and strawberries and cream waffle ice cream combo. Because it was so packed we had to wait a bit before our order was ready. The Thai Tea was great tasting, the strawberry waffle combo was good but the Dubai chocolate cheesecake was phenomenal! I enjoyed looking at all of the other items people ordered as everything looked scrumptious. read more

Utterly disappointing. Stopped in because we saw a reel hyping this place... it did not live up to the hype. They did not have the Dubai chocolate one available today. No big deal, we got the strawberry shortcake instead. Though they probably should've taken the Dubai one out of the display case. The fruit tea and Boba was fine though maybe a bit small for the price. The strawberry shortcake cheesecake was unpleasant at best. Don't get me wrong the flavor was fine, however eating it was a very unpleasant experience. The cheesecake was frozen solid onto a stick. They then dipped it into warm white chocolate coating and then into the crumble coating, and then syrups were drizzled onto it and a strawberry slice was put on top. The cheesecake was too frozen to bite into. The coating broke off and slopped syrup everywhere and left your mouth feeling oily. Plus the strawberry on top was not ripe so it was not pleasant either. The service was extremely slow even though we saw four people behind the counter. The dining room was under construction and they had weirdly aggressive signs on the window telling you to not touch the plants. Plus there was not a garbage in the lobby or outside to throw away your Boba straw wrapper. We would not go back again. read more

YUMMY!!! Little hidden gem in The 'Boro...so happy we discovered this place! We both got the hot chocolate...... so good!! Service was great!! Small, family run business. read more

My croaffle was delicious but the service was PAINFULLY slow. Zero sense of urgency. It took 50 minutes to get a scoop of ice cream and two croaffles. I am sympathetic when a place is busy but the snail pace the employees moved was ridiculous. read more

Let's start by saying that as the weather gets nicer, the more crowded they will be! It's relatively small inside with the cutest decorations and they have table games for you to use which I find it to be a great touch. The staff is nice and friendly too. The options are straight forward and everything I've had is always good. No wrong choice here. They're signature waffle wrapped ice creams are delicious and freshly made. read more

When I came across this spot and saw the bubble waffle ice cream, I had to visit. I wasn't disappointed! The shop itself is so cute! I love the live plants and overall aesthetic. The cashier explained how to order because you can choose your waffle flavor as well as ice cream flavor and toppings. The waffle is so light and delicious! I ordered the butter pecan ice cream with strawberries and caramel sauce. Sooo good. I ordered the original waffle, but you also have choices for the waffle flavor! I'm excited to go back and bring friends. read more

i had a crème brûlée milk tea and it was a KILLER dessert along with the smores croffle! i think the croffle was a little too sweet and the marshmallows sent it overboard but id recommend it highly if you want a pastry treat. place was PACKED but the employees were so efficient and nice. they need a bigger location!! read more

Love coming here for the iced Vietnamese coffee with herbal grass jelly. Definitely one of my favorite. Service is always good and fast.

4.5 On a crazy hot day in late summer I *needed* a cold sweet treat. Thanks to a quick check of the Jelps, I found just the spot! Cue: if I lived here I would be a regular. Varin's is just what the name suggests: a sweet shop. The menu is almost overwhelming with its choice permutations. Truthfully, I was a bit immobilized when trying to decide what to get: solid, liquid, creamy, juice, tea, etc. If there is a sweet tooth in your party (or, mouth) it will find what it's been seeking. I was here on a Thursday and the (small) space was packed with teens. I get it. If Varin's were around when I was in high school, I would have come here after school as well. So, know before you go that the space is small (but not tight) and if you come at the wrong/right time, you will be surrounded by teens in search of a sugar fix. But none of this deters the workers. They have service down to a science. They greet, instruct/answer, serve, make, and bid farewell in a way that needs to be studied. Unable to make a daring choice after viewing and reviewing sugary delight after sugary delight, I finally mumbled something about a strawberry tea with lychee jellies (much like Ralphie telling Santa that he wanted a football rather than an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle). Unlike Ralphie, though, I was extremely happy with my order. My conscious brain may have wanted to go big but my lizard brain scored big with a large strawberry (red and tasted like strawberries!) tea filled with squishy lychee jellies. Every slurp and chew was a sugar addict's joy. If Varin's can be trusted to nail a basic like strawberry tea, I have no doubt that the more complicated concoctions taste just as good as they look -- and they look delicious. Varin's alone might not be worth the trip to Murfreesboro but it's a darn good excuse to go. It's that good. read more

Would recommend this for a quick dessert! They had a great variety of options, so you could go in with a group and find something for everyone. I had the Okinawa drink and it was delicious. It was our first time in, so we took a little longer to order, but the staff was patient and answered all our questions. I thought the decorations were really cute! They had a hammock chair in the corner with a huge squishmallow and had a kids show on for the little ones. They have games for you to play too, which was nice. read more

The cheesecake is delicious, ive had three kinds but my issue is that the service is always so awful no matter what time of day you come. The first time i went this young asain girl with glasses was very rude about not allowing me to get the oreo dipped in regular chocolate instead of white chocolate like i was attacking her or something asking a question. This last time two of the girls made a racist comment towards my black boyfriend. Its unfortunate because i really would love to continue supporting this small business, they have a great unique idea but horrible staff.. read more

Varin's Sweet Shop has the best Boba tea and bubble waffle with ice cream. Taro tea with boba had a great sweet milk taste. The bubble waffle with cookies and cream ice cream and Oreos hits the spot! The bubble waffle with ice cream and cookies was also amazing. The service was great. People there are welcoming and hard working. The atmosphere is very welcoming and Instagram worthy. read more

This place is great... if you are only looking for a pretty photo. The ice cream itself is ok, and the waffle is, a waffle. Not "bad" by any means just disappointing for the looks and the price. Not worth $8 for one scoop of ok ice cream read more

This is a cute little boba stop in Murfreesboro! I came in on a Sunday morning and it was pretty busy. Plenty of parking outside. I ordered the milk tea and it's delicious! It basically tastes like how it should. I love how they have more options other than drinks. They have ice cream, bubble waffles, and cake! I will definitely come back to try the cake! It's sold in small slices. They have taro and pandan which I haven't seen anywhere else. read more

Ooofff it pains me to leave this review. So much hype, but this place really disappointed me. Perhaps since I consider myself a boba connoisseur, I was just expecting too much and it was just not up to my standards. The creme brûlée series is just complete garbage...literally. It's just vanilla pudding on top with a quarter size torched sugar on top. We tried the brown sugar and the Oreo. The brown sugar here is just different. Does not taste like brown sugar at all...not sure what they used or did. The only good thing about this drink was the coffee jelly. The Oreo series was also disgusting!! Same thing. Vanilla pudding, gross...and they used cheap vanilla pudding for the creme portion. Same goes for the cookies. They did not use REAL Oreos. How are you going to call a drink an oreo drink but used generic Oreos. Or whatever chocolate cookies, it just tasted horrible. Nothing close to Oreos. Just poor quality. It was disgusting. My husband trashed the drink. Waste of $$$$ The strawberry matcha...ughhhh I should have known...it's not quality matcha. I am for sure a matcha connoisseur and I should have known better not to order this but my son wanted a matcha latte so I ordered it for him. Sadly, it was not good. It tasted like dirt. Can't say anything about the coconut taro since I did not try, but my mom said it was good so that's a plus. The inside store is really small but it's cute, and it's clean. The girl that took my order was sweet and friendly! They had little board games to play while you sip on your drinks or eat your waffle ice cream (something we didn't try). The drinks were really cute, so the aesthetics is there...but the taste was just a huge disappointment. Really wanted to love this place but sadly we won't be back for boba here maybe ice cream waffles. Overall, product quality used here for boba is very poor, for boba in Murfreesboro, I will stick to Q&R. read more

Ordered Green tea with xtra boba, the only complain I have is it's too bitter, i always get green tea but today it wasn't made right and waited 30 minutes for one drink very disappointed read more

BEST boba spot hands down! my orders are always consistent & i feel like that's usually my issue with other boba spots. they also have amazing bubble waffles & i'm sure their other food items are just as great. i personally just prefer the bubble waffle. my go-to is their strawberries & cream bubble waffle and their classic milk tea with boba. 100000/10 recommend this place. read more

I placed my order at 5:40pm for 1 drink (I believe it was a peach green tea). I did not get my order until 6:02pm. It took 22 minutes for the 3 people on staff to make 12 items before mine. The drink itself tasted extremely artificial and was painful to get through. The boba was cooked well. Given it was not particularly busy and it took over 20 minutes for my drink, I'd go to Kung Fu Tea. Kung Fu Tea is a bit more expensive but has fast service and better tasting drinks. read more

Our go-to boba shop. It is cute and more importantly, has a great variety of boba drinks that can be customized any way you'd like. I prefer half the sugar, and they make it consistently, every time. They know my wife, who is a regular, and they can make her drink without having to specify all of her modifications. read more

I ordered a few drinks here for my family and they were not good. We may have ordered the wrong drinks, maybe we will try different ones next time. We ordered an Oreo that did not taste like oreos at all, more like generic or off brand cookies were used. We also order a few different fruit teas and a taro milk tea. Out of all drinks we tried, the taro was the only good drink we liked. The service was good, they were friendly. We will try other drinks next time.. read more

First off the service is great I wanted something kind of complicated but the person that served me was completely understanding even to my grandma. We got are drink pretty fast considering how busy they were. read more

I have passed this place hundreds of times but FINALLY made my first visit to Varin's Sweet Shop. When I walked in the smell of waffles seduced me and caused me to lose all willpower. I decided to try the Croffle, described as a cross between a croissant and a waffle with a variety of toppings. I selected the Crème Brulé and as you can see, there was a lot of crème on the Croffle. Difficult to describe the taste, but the combination of the pastry and the crème was delicious. read more
