I got the Pumpkin Thai with Boba($6). The boba was very fresh with it being warm and chewy. It did some time for the drinks to be made as there was a line, but eventually came out in 10 minutes. The Thai tea had a good sweetness ratio with pumpkin flavoring. Overall a very good boba spot that I will definitely come back to! Drink(50%): 8.7 Staff/service(25%): 7.5 Value(25%): 8.0 Overall: 8.2/10

When I tried boba for the first time when I was little, I was given honeydew milk tea, and I loved it. I always got honeydew milk tea until the shop we got it from closed. I haven't really gotten that flavor since then because most places don't have it. I was able to get it here, and it was so nostalgic. It was just the right flavor, and they're generous with their boba. I'll be back to try their other flavors :)

Honey oolong tea
Amber N.

Beautiful decoration and chill vibe. Patient and friendly service. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. I tried the honey oolong. This was my first time trying oolong and it was a delicious first impression. The drink was smooth & not too sweet.

There are so many places to get bubble teas these days but this one remains to be our favorite. They have great flavor options with a variety of toppings to keep it interesting. Look at how pretty our drinks are! Left one is the mint chocolate slushy with milk cap; right one is the mango splashy with popping strawberry boba. These definitely put a smile on my daughter! Oh my daughter thinks their shaved ice is the best in town.

Thai Tea Boba Tea

Went for the boba tea, stayed for the shaved snow. I'm pretty basic with my boba tea preferences like Thai tea or mango slush so I can practically get it anywhere. The shaved snow is amazing and hard to come by in the area! The portion is generous. You can pick 1-2 flavors, 2 toppings, and a drizzle. The shaved snow is creamy and melts in your mouth. There is no icy texture. Apparently they freeze the flavors in blocks ahead of time so they can shave it when ordered, which is so smart. We were wondering how the orders were prepared so fast. Because of the texture it melts pretty quickly so I would recommend eating it there. They have a few tables inside. Our group stayed and chatted for awhile and we felt welcome. Can't wait to come back, I'm already craving another bowl!

Mango honeydew shaved ice with pudding and strawberry pocky

I've been craving soft ice or the mian mian bing texture ever since summer so glad we found this place. Other places I've tried around the area had cute toppings and presentation but coarser ice which was disappointing. We also ordered a lychee slush which was refreshing and oolong tea with pearls at 25 percent sugar and no ice. The guy at the counter was patient when I was considering all the options. There were some places inside to sit as well as outside but it was pretty hot and humid so we chose to stay indoors. All in all a nice summer and July 4th weekend treat!

Taro and honey dew shaved snow topped with red beans and custard pudding

Zen Cafe Treats is amazing. The energy, the atmosphere, the customer service as well. From their milk teas, with options for less sugar, to their shaved snow with oat milk choices, this hidden gem makes me smile. On my recent visit I tried shaved snow for the second time. I got a two flavor bowl: taro and honeydew topped with custard pudding, which tasted a bit like a Thai iced tea, and red beans, which have a subtle sweetness and very slight bean taste which in no way disturbed the snow flavors. It's worth the find and the price!

Shaved ice treat

It's not the easiest place to find, but I love their shaved ice treats!! I've tasted their boba teas- good flavor!!!

Milk tea Shaved Snow with corn flakes and mochi! Deliciously refreshing!
Liss C.

This was our first time here during 100 degree heat wave. It hit the spot with refreshing "bingsu" like dessert. Very refreshing and the milk tea was on point! This place will be one of our frequent stops!

Earl Grey Milk Tea (Medium)
Mandy T.

I'm glad to see another boba shop open up in the Richmond area that isn't a big franchise. I tried the Earl Grey Milk Tea with pearls. It had a great flavor - though the pearls were a lot more bland than I am used to. Nonetheless, it was still good and I will definitely be returning to try the shaved ice desserts! Super convenient location in the West End with ample parking. A must try if you're near the area!

Morgan F.

This is definitely one of the best places for bubble tea. I always get the Taro or Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and it's perfect every time.

Lychee Yakult w Crystal Pearls
Valerie Y.

So glad to see that Zen moved closer to the West End! We have a great collection of boba and bingsoo places now, which is great to see. Zen's quality is really great too- you can tell that their tea is brewed fresh (it's so strong), they have a multitude of toppings, and their bingsoo is such value for the price. I can't wait to come back and get bingsoo all the time! It reminds me of Snocream in Annandale, really happy to see Asian cafes spreading.

Bright and airy space, almost like a spa!…read more Quiet when I came in weekday afternoon. Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. 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,

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.

The market and cafe is where you go if you actually want to buy something. And trust me, you want to buy something. A majestic display greets the viewer. While desserts are indulgent and full of ingredients that bust up some people's diets, this place had a small selection of vegan and gluten-free options that did not look like things you'd regret ordering. I got a peanut butter pie which had a chocolate layer and a graham cracker crust. I wish I'd split it up into multiple sittings because it was so indulgent, but somehow I stuffed it down. Someone ahead of me was trying to order something that this place was out of and was redirected towards their chocolate caramel cake. Given that I still remember eating that cake during the peak of the COVID era some four years ago, I really would not second guess the opportunity to order a slice.
