The moment you walk in, you're greeted by display cases filled with beautifully presented baked goods. It's the kind of place where you want to grab a tray and try a little bit of everything. Their mix of sweet and savory pastries pairs perfectly with their milk teas or coffee. The atmosphere is laid-back and works whether you're meeting friends, studying, or just stopping in for dessert. With affordable pricing and a broad menu of drinks and baked items, it's an easy place to return to when you want something different from a regular coffee shop.

Ben Wong is my favorite boba place. I've only tried about three boba spots in the Richmond area,…read moreand even though Ben Wong is the farthest from me, it's always where I go whenever I'm craving boba. I honestly like their boba more than any of the others I've tried because it's not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. I usually stick with the Oreo cream slush, that's my go to,but every now and then I'll try something different. I've had the brown sugar milk tea, the crème brûlée milk tea, and I believe the house bubble tea as well, and I've had no complaints so far. I also really like the atmosphere. It's clean, relaxed, and a nice place to sit. I usually go with my sister, and we'll just sit there and chat. It's definitely our favorite boba spot because their teas are so good. I haven't tried the pastries or cakes yet because I'm always undecided and I don't really like overly sweet things. That said, I see a lot of people raving about them, so I'm planning to try one next time, along with some other teas.

It was nice to see that it was open with many chairs, tables AND numerous outlets. They even have whiteboards for studying. Unfortunately since it's just the family that works here it's only open 12-7 everyday. On whatever free days I have I'll definitely go here. If I didn't do reviews I definitely would have gate kept it but i'm just so nice ‍ The Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie just hits the spot and fills the craving so easily. That's my favorite drink there! I'm so excited to try their other items as well. When I went I didn't see any food, but hopefully I'll be able to try some on my next visit too!

I particularly like the Orange Pineapple and Orange Mango, but you can't go wrong with any of them. At just around $7 the price point is in line with what you would expect for a coffee replacement. The pastries are where Ben Wong shines. Showcased in the middle of the cafe, the ability to self select pastries often leaves me going home with more than I expect. The Pineapple Bun is fluffy with a mild sweetness, the Chicken Curry Bun is savory with a satisfying crunchy exterior, and the Taro Buns have a rich taro flavor. At $3-$5 per pastry you can't go wrong with any of them.

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,

The space itself was clean and nicely decorated, though it's pretty small inside. When I walked in, it smelled like the food would be amazing but the actual taste didn't match. The drinks were heavy on the veggie flavor, especially the ones with beets. The beet taste was overpowering and made it hard to enjoy the drink. I know it's a juice bar but I was hoping for more balance and freshness in the flavors. I also tried the avocado toast and didn't enjoy it. It had way too many peppers which made it spicier than expected and the avocado texture was off. It reminded me of mashed potatoes instead of fresh, creamy avocado. I hate leaving negative reviews but I believe in being honest. This spot had great service and a cute interior but the food and drinks just weren't for me. Mind you... I'm vegetarian. I won't be back.

My husband previously brought home a juice and immunity shots, which I really liked, so when we were in the area, we decided to stop by. The owner and the young man working alongside him were incredibly inviting and friendly, making the experience even better.

Everything was delicious and freshly made. The environment was clean and gave off a refreshing, healthy vibe as soon as we walked in. Definitely a place we'd return to!
