    The place is well lit but not the cleanest. Though staff would clean the tables and seats, these tables and seats and the floor have a lot of crumbs on them. Matcha milk paradise is very good. I did not taste the matcha really; nevertheless, I enjoyed it. It's rich but not overly sweet. The pineapple bun was okay. I had better pineapple bun at Full Kee in Richmond. Ube bun was horrible. It was not good and not sweet. The filling was not ube; it was just bean filling heavily colored purple to make it look like ube. Extremely disappointing. The strawberry cake and mango cake were fine. They have a promo where one can get strawberry cake for a $1 if you become a member. We saw strawberry cake slices on display and were excited to avail of this only to get to the counter and be told that the strawberry cake that we saw on display was not the same strawberry cake included in the promo. Again, this was disappointing since the posters and the signs in the display both said strawberry cake. The lady behind the counter was not the friendliest either. When I had the other bread boxed for to go, she tried shoving it in a small box even though it did not fit. She did eventually get a box that fitted the bread.

    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!

    Ordered the Iraqi teapot and caramel macciato iced coffee. The tea was absolutely lovely Both…read moreorders finished very quickly. Very hospitable environment, with quick wifi and soothing ambience. Good place to sit and study, or accommodate a large group of people after most places close.

    I don't say this lightly: Fairuz Cafe serves the best Turkish coffee I've had. Period. And I'm…read moresaying this as someone who grew up on Turkish coffee in Palestine and Jordan, and searched for the real thing across countless cafes in the States. The search is over. The coffee here isn't just good -- it's correct. The grind, the heat, the cardamom -- everything is dialed in with the kind of care you only get from people carrying a tradition, not following a recipe. The basbusa is outstanding -- house-made, fresh, with that perfect syrup-to-semolina balance so many places get wrong. Best I've had in years. Can't wait to try their kunafa next. What really sets Fairuz apart is the atmosphere. This is a family-owned spot and you feel it the second you walk in. The hospitality is genuine -- that "sit down, you're home now" energy you can't manufacture. If you're Middle Eastern and homesick, come here. If you've never had real Turkish coffee, come here. If you just want somewhere that feels human and unhurried -- come here. Fairuz didn't just meet my standards. It raised them.
