    Matcha taro boba tea 3/5 Scallion bread 4/5 Ube bun 3/5 Sponge cake 4/5
    Christina S.

    Super cute spot, very clean with a unique display for their pastries. Service is kind, quick, no complaints. You grab the pastries yourself with a tray and tongs, then go up front to pay and order drinks or some refrigerated options. Some things I've gotten: Matcha taro boba tea 3/5- taro was thick, matcha was sweet. A nice treat Scallion bread 4/5- super savory, better when warm and a little crispy Ube bun 3/5- tastes more like sweet potato inside than ube Sponge cake 4/5 - nice and light, could use some cream

    Cute Asian bakery with a decent selection of breads, drinks, and classification pastries. I ordered a Castella sponge, and scallion bread with pork floss, in addition to an oolong milk tea Boba. Overall, I found pricing to be comparable to most Asian bakeries, though I do wish the selection of breads were a little bit larger. The tea for my drink was very yummy, though I found the boba were a bit too hard. This could've just been a bad batch, so I'm definitely willing to try again.

    Stopped by here on a Monday afternoon while passing through Richmond for a roadtrip and it wasn't too busy. There are plenty of pastries and cakes to choose from. There is lots of seating and people studying/doing work on laptops. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. We got the pineapple bun, matcha milk paradise, and grapefruit sparkling tea. The drinks were refreshing and sweet. I liked that the matcha drink came with a macaron. The pineapple bun was alright but didn't taste like the typical pineapple bun I was expecting. Overall a nice place to get drinks and desserts.

    This place is very pretty on the inside!!! The tables are adorable and you also have a showcase of different pastries that are grab and go. They're in separate cases and you grab a tray and take it to the front and they'll heat it up, and you pay attention the register. They have cakes, boba, smoothies, croissants, rolls, and much more. I got the pork roll and a strawberry cream pastry. My daughter got the cream cheese roll, and mixed berry cream croissant. The cheese roll had a sweet bread and was tasty. The pork roll was salty with bacon pieces and scallions and it was warmed up. My favorite was the mixed berry croissant and the strawberry cream pastry. I'd definitely get them again!! We also got a fruit tea and a brown sugar milk drink with cake foam. It was delicious. Next time I'll get it without boba though because it seemed like more boba than drink.. It feels like I was chewing forever. Lol. The customer service there was top notch also. The lady at the counter answered all of our questions and was very informative. The bathroom smelled good inside and it was clean. This is a place I recommend you try. We enjoyed everything about this place and will return next time we're in the area!! Check them out!!!

    I got the boba taro matcha latte ($7). Drink was made in about 3 minutes. It had a good amount of sweetness, but not overly strong. There was plenty of boba, however they didn't really taste as fresh as some other places (still good). The taro was good, but didn't think it paired well with the matcha, I'm glad I could say I tried that combo, but will try a different flavor next time. Overall a good boba experience and would come back again. Drink(50%): 7.3 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%):7.0 Overall: 7.2/10

    First, the atmosphere of this place is awesome! Super spacious, clean aesthetic. I missed the pastry wall when I first came in! I got the creme brûlée milk tea. It was pretty good! Next time I'll mix it better because when I got to the bottom it was all foam & lots of flavor. I also got an ube bun & egg tart. Both were good, but tasted a bit undercooked. The tart was nice and buttery, but the dough was underdone on the bottom. Same with the ube bun, great flavor and crust in top but the bottom of the bun was a bit chewy & seemed undone -- not sure if it's a mochi flour though which would explain that but it was an interesting contrast. I'd come back and try some of the savory pastries too!

    My experience at Breco Tea was great! The decoration and ambiance inside were so cute-- I can tell it would be a nice spot to grab a snack and get some work done. I tried the strawberry milk cap and the pineapple passion fruit tea (50% sweetness). Both were great and made relatively quick even though it was quite busy for a Sunday afternoon.

    This location was disappointing. I was really looking forward to Brecotea but it wasn't good as the one at Midlothian. There were no tongs at the front and was waiting at the counter for a good 5 minutes just to get one, whoever was leaving that shift didn't bother asking if I needed help right before she left -- I wouldn't leave a customer hanging despite shift end. The drink was good. The pastries weren't as good, it was stale & dry. And the cake barely had any sponge into it, majority was cream/mousse. Lastly my cake had hair in it.

    After having tried several boba places now, Brecotea's boba is my least favorite. It's pretty flavorless and just tastes like milk. But, the ambiance and pasties really make up for it.

    Back again! The perfect spot when you are craving a sweet treat to hold you over until dinner. The afternoon crowd is very hit or miss. I got here around 3pm on a Sunday and there was one person in line and plenty of seats. 15 minutes later the place was packed and had about 10 people in line. I tried the Berries & Crème Croissant- rich, sweet crème with blackberries & blueberries and some blackberry drizzle. So good! I also tried a chocolate bun. The thick chocolate filling inside did not disappoint and was smooth and velvety when warmed. My only complaint was I just wanted a black tea and the large for that wasn't very big. The young lady put my tea in incorrectly (I think she truly thought she did it right) and the wrong tea came out. The other young lady making the drink suggested I get a refund since I paid too much and made sure I was taken care of. Overall a very pleasant place though it can get noisy when crowded. Comfortable seating and bright & clean inside.

    I'm OBSESSED!! I love love love their fruit tea and their pastries are so delicious! Service was great and the place is cute.

    I got the crab meat pastry and the chicken curry bun. The service here is amazing and Joy was able to help us out with our purchase! She is a very nice and considerate worker! I've had their boba before and felt as if there was a lack of flavour so I wouldn't recommend the milk tea or it was a fluke . This is a great place to come with your friends though and the decorations there are nice! It's not too loud at all and there were a good bit of pastries to choose from!

    As someone who is very picky about their boba, I've tried my fair share of spots around town, but Brecotea has been the best so far! This place is hands down my favorite boba tea shop, and I can't recommend it enough. First off, the menu is packed with so much a variety. The toppings are so good especially their brown sugar boba that are the perfect amount of sweetness. The staff are super friendly, attentive, and always happy to recommend a new flavor or customize my order exactly the way I like it. The atmosphere is chill and inviting, making it the perfect place to hang out with friends or enjoy a quiet afternoon with your favorite drink. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and give Brecotea a visit -- I guarantee it'll become your new favorite boba spot too!

I was pleasantly surprised at the improvements over my 3 prior visits last year. We were greeted when we walked in, all the cases were stocked and the 2 employees working answered all our questions and offered a tasting of the new chicken salad. This was AMAZING compared to prior visits. While we were there 2 more workers came in and they did not appear as friendly. We tried the thalhmier cake because we have heard a lot about them. Not being a Richmond native, this is new to us. It was a very generous slice and was pretty tasty. They cut the slice fresh for us. We also ordered a coffee and ice tea. It seemed like forever before we got our drinks. And then waited again for milk. Because they added cases and freezers, there are only 3 tables, which were pretty crowded together, and if there had been other customers we definitely would have been in the way. I didn't feel comfortable sitting there. They offer pastries, macarons, fresh breads and an assortment of prepared foods. They also had sandwiche, salads, coffee and tea to order. The to go case has a screen over it with a sign that says, "Please ask for help opening screen".....seems like that will take time and slow the grab n go process down a bit. I want to love Whisk, have followed them on social media for years and was SO excited when they opened in the west end, yet it just hasn't lived up to my expectations or the level service at other bakeries in town.

I of course had questions and he had prompt responses! The oatmeal cream sandwich, the almond croissant, and the coconut macaroon were all delicious and would definitely have again!! Those are three things I would recommend! I did want to order a coffee, but with the only option to have 'traditional cow milk' through the automated coffee dispenser, it left me with no option! That's the only improvement recommendations I'd have!

I had a pretty good experience from service to the quality of the menu items that I got. There were 4 staff members that were there taking and making orders. Even though I came in at a busy time, I didn't have very long to wait until I got my drink order. I grabbed a strawberry magic stick, an ube bun and a pineapple bun along with a mango orange tea. The strawberry magic stick and the pineapple bun were delectable and the ube bun was perfect. Ube isn't very sweet, and I'm glad that this cafe stayed true to the ube flavor instead of adding a lot of sugar or altering the actual taste! The mango orange tea perfectly pared with the pastries! They have bottled drinks and cakes as well, but I didn't get to try them! They have a handful of tables and chairs inside, and they had quite a bit of people in there. It seems like they are a fave spot for locals. Some customers were just hanging out and some had laptops out, so they might be a good spot to do some work, too. They also have some merch on shelves (plushies and cups) if you're interested in that kind of thing. Definitely recommend if you're craving some treats!

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.
