Decided on take out because it was so cold inside. Odd because I was in there in November and it was freezing inside then.

This is my first time at a Gong Cha store. This location is located near ODU, on Monarch Way. I was…read morein the area and had heard about the combo set up with Food Paradise (I will write a separate review), an Asian fusion fast casual spot, so I decided to check it out for the drinks and eats. Gong Cha is to the left of the set up when you walk in. There are two self-order kiosks. There are menus on TV screen overhead, but the way the drinks are set up on the ordering system was a bit confusing, as I had a hard time finding the one I wanted on the system. I ended up having to ask for assistance anyway (this is why I don't think robots can take over the world entirely LOL). I opted for the mango green tea marble tea. I honestly ordered it for the looks, but the taste turned out to match the looks! It had a hint of the green tea minus the bitterness and the mango flavoring was a nnit creamy but not super thick! I added some rainbow jelly and it was so good! I would definitely get this again! Also, on the Gong Cha side, they made a whole pink flower wall section/corner thing. Fun photo opp! Go out and support and enjoy!

Such a cute and cozy little spot. It shares a location with…read more"Food Paradise". The ordering stations are right next to each other. I ordered a Thai iced tea with boba and it was very good. Not too sweet, and a good amount of yummy delicious boba. The young lady at the desk was very nice and service was very fast. I got my drink in less than 3 minutes. It's a cute space to come hang out with your friends and eat, study, or even play some board games. They had shelves full of games to use. I will definitely come back here.

Not what I expected. When I visit a new location I usually…read morego with their regular KF milk tea because thats pretty standard. Well I've been to this particular location a couple of times and we just cant get it right. For starters they don't have their signature cups. It's just regular cups with lids and they always say that they ran out of the cups. At one time it wasn't the right level of sugar and the bubbas tasted bland; then another time the drink was watery even after asking for less ice. Staff is nice, location is clean, parking spaces are available but the things that matter (the product) is not it. Their menu doesn't include food either.

Whether it's boba tea, smoothies or coffee, they rarely disappoint. Let's see how things turned out. We were greeted by the staff once we walked in. Like many times, the decor was spotless and the vibe calm There were a few customers inside either dining in or ordering takeout. We knew what we wanted before entering so it took no time to order. I selected one of their Spring items, Brown Sugar Rose-Berry Freshmilk with brown sugar pearls, in honor of cherry blossoms for the State of Virginia. A very good drink indeed. Not too sweet and full of flavor. Some of the pearls did get stuck together (they were served hot after all), but it was no problem. Thank you once again Joyu for having us feel comfortable with much needed drinks. You'll see us again soon :)

Not as expected... -Located inside the international market…read more -Donuts looked very appealing and they have different flavors. - Donuts were about $1.90 each. They do have some additional fees (about $4) that add on when you pay. -The quality of the donuts.... Not as expected. They were very doughy. It felt more like regular donut balls put together and then cooked. -EV chargers in the parking lot and easily accesible entrance.

I miss California at times when it comes to certain foods and mochi donuts is one of those things…read moreso I was very happy when I found we have one in Newport News Mochi and Mochi is a kiosk that's actually located inside of the farm fresh international market I did get there after work and at the end of the day so I expected the selection of donuts to be smaller. But I was very pleased that they had Black Sesame which is one of my favorites! I also tried the Milk Tea and it's so cute it comes in a can which made it very nice so that I could still run some errands and not open it until I got home and not worry about anything spilling. I will definitely will go back

It's not easy when you live on the other side of Hampton Roads, but I'm glad to see them do really well over the years. Let's see how they've been. We were greeted by the staff after walking in and foot traffic was minimal. Music was playing througout the building and they were pretty busy with orders. A few people did come in but for the most part, they did takeout. We decided to sit and sip our chosen desserts. I chose their Strawberry Smoothie with strawberry popping boba at 70% sugar and Sophia chose her usual, coconut smoothie at 70% sugar with tapioca. Both of us enjoyed them very much. Not too sweet and full of flavor. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. Once again, a grand 'ol time on familiar grounds. You know for sure we'll be back the next time we come around :)

I believe she was working by herself when I visited, and she still managed to get everything out quickly. The shop was very clean, and I liked that they had so many different options to choose from, including a good variety of drinks and dessert options. They also have some nice ways to save, like signing up for their rewards program, and I believe they offer military and student discounts as well. Overall, everything was good, the service was fast, and there were plenty of options to choose from. I would definitely recommend giving Tapioca Go a try!

Tapioca Go has officially become my go-to bubble tea spot! My favorite drink is the Taro Milk Green…read moreTea, and it's surprisingly hard to find because most bubble tea places only offer regular taro milk tea. Ever since all of the Kung Fu Tea locations in the 757 area closed, I've been searching for a replacement, and this is the only place I've found that serves taro milk green tea. It tastes just like the one I used to get from Kung Fu Tea, which made me so happy! As the name suggests, it's more of a order-and-go shop. They have two self-order kiosks if you want to order yourself, or you can order directly at the register. The staff has always been friendly whenever I've visited. The shop itself is small, but that's expected for a order-and-go concept. They do have a few benches where you can sit while you wait for your order, which is a nice touch. If you're looking for great bubble tea especially if you're a fan of taro milk green tea I definitely recommend giving Tapioca Go a try!

I ordered the Tiramisu Phin Coffee which was so good and hit the spot. I was unfortunately disappointed at the Bulgogi Egg Melt Croissant as it did not have as much meat as I would have expected. It was still pretty tasty but wished it had a good ratio between egg and bulgogi. Service was great; I was their first customer and the person helping me recommended me the drink so I was happy with their suggestion. The place is smaller than their other branches but still has the aesthetic that I know Joyu to have.
