I recently visited Joyu Tea and tried the taro brown sugar lava milk tea. I ordered it at 50% sweetness, and it was still really sweet. If you're not big on sugary drinks, I'd either skip this one or order it at 25% sugar. That said, it was definitely delicious and very pretty to look at. The staff was friendly and patient while we took our time deciding. We asked for suggestions, and they happily shared their favorites and helped us narrow things down. They also offer pastries. I've had the croffle before, and it was pretty good. Overall though, the drinks are the highlight. It's a small space and more of a grab-and-go spot with limited seating. But they have a huge variety boba teas, coffee teas, slushies, and classic milk teas so there's something for whatever you're in the mood for. If you're looking for a good drink in Virginia Beach, this is definitely worth checking out. I'd come back to try more flavors. read more

I've been to the other location, and had to try this new location. And small cute modern decore with seating on right side of the register and window seating as well. I ordered thr "Purple Starlight" with Boba, and I couldn't resist and order one of their cute cakes "Bunny" I'm all about Taro, so the drink was so good! But the Bunny cake was even better. It was soft and moist like a cream pudding texture . The flavor was strawberry cream and the bottom was a crumble. I am definitely gonna go back and try their other cakes. They are a little pricey l, but it's all good to treat yourself l! read more

This place was really cute. The service was great. The staff member at the counter gave me the recommendation of the Creamy Thai Tea, when I asked what was good. She instructed me on how she usually gets it and helped me to tailor it to my taste. I got 50% sugar and added Brown Sugar Pearls. The drink was good. My friend got the Taro Lava and said it was also good. She said it was sweet though and she did get 50% sugar. Maybe opt for 25% or 0%, if you do not like really sweet drinks. Overall, good! read more

I said I wanted to start trying different coffee places and passed Joyu taking my dog to the vet, so I decided to give it a try. I got a caramel macchiato, because I wanted to be able to compare one of their drinks to something I am familiar with. I did not care too much for their version of the caramel macchiato. While sweet, it didnt taste like caramel at all. I also didn't like that there was no whipped cream. While I wouldn't ever get that again, they do have a variety of drinks with some unique flavors and toppings. It's a small place, more commercial than cozy. Maybe I will come back and try something different. read more

This location is located next to Noodle Man taking their new neighbor spot. They are on their 2nd week of service. The place has a few window bar seats and 2 pairs of seating with a mini table at each. They have monitor and handheld menus. I bordered the creamy brew that have a variety of foam flavors. I opted for an iced drink - there is a hot option as well. The drink was smooth and lightly sweet as well. The cheese danish was warmed up but wasn't as warm, but tasted good. The service was very polite and the music was comforting as well. Looking forward to a return experience. read more

So happy I finally got to try this new boba place out! First off, it's in a pretty good shopping location with plenty of parking. The shop was clean, airy, and modern with friendly workers. This place is better for small crowds. There were a few bar stools and 4 big chairs. If it's your first time going, be sure to get a punch card. 2nd visit, you get 20% off. 6th visit is 15% off. 10th visit, you get a free item. I got the Taro Cloudy Cafe Latte, BrownSugar FreshMilk, and the Cookie 'N Cream Croffle. Taro was def my favorite, and I love how the croffle looked like a popsicle. Can't wait to try the other menu items! Will bring friends and family here for sure! read more

I'd probably go to Joyu a little more if they opened before 9am but it's still a solid place to when I'm in the shopping center. I typically order an ube mocha -- it's so good. The employees are typically kind & the busy-ness is hit or miss. It is a bit tiny in the store so I wouldn't linger read more

1045 Independence Blvd Virginia Beach, VA 23455 Monday - Sunday 9a - 9pm I am so glad we have a Joyu near me. It is easy to order, fast, and simple. The staff here has amazing customer service. Theyre always will to help and aside from the drinks and food they add to your experience. This location is a bit smaller than others but they make up for it with their quality. I am a fan of their yogurt slushies. Their Phin Coffee was good too with its caffeine boost. As for food their Bahn Mi was very. flavorful and their croffles were soooooo good! You'll definitely find me at this location! Thank you Joyu Tea and Coffee! see the full review at: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DL9Ci91tt9l/?igsh=MXc5eG1wOXZhdW11Zw== read more

New Spot Alert -- Jōyū Tea & Coffee Tried a new spot during their soft opening and wow -- I'm already planning my next visit! I went with the Taro Cloud Latte (so smooth and not too sweet) and a Cookies & Cream Croffle that was pure dessert heaven. The vibe inside was super cute, and everything felt thoughtfully made. If you're into trying new drinks and fun treats, definitely give them a shot! Personal fave: that crunchy croffle with whipped cream and cookie crumbles... unreal.

I had such a lovely experience coming in. I'm a huge fan of Joyu, so I had to get over to the new location. It's very little and cute. It gives lovely cafe vibes, and I appreciate that. This new location does banh mi as well, and I think that's so cool! We can in and were immediately greeted and our orders taken. I went with moonlight lychee, and my bf went with lemon strawberry tea. Both were made with fresh fresh tea, and were utterly delicious as expected with the Joyu brand! The banh mi was super fresh and yummy as well. I truly enjoyed my visit, and will be back! They open at 9am, and that's awesome because I'm an early riser and I love my fresh tea! read more

Great mango passion fruit tea. Cute place and I could have ordered multiple drinks. It was clean and fast service. Can't wait for the Chesapeake location to open. read more

Cute little place for a quick bite and refreshments. No public restrooms. Limited seating. I had the green zen strawberry croffle. It was topped with green matcha cream. Not sure if the croffle batter was supposed to have strawberry in it. I couldn't tell. Adding strawberry on top helped with the flavor. The Taro cloudy cafe latte was not too sweet, at least for me. I added boba, which were mostly hydrated well. There were some boba pearls that were not the consistency that I prefer. Overall I would recommend. read more

Got the Large Jasmine Green Tea with 25% sugar and Lychee Jelly. The tea was strong, lychee jelly had a nice sweetness but next time I need to do 50% sugar since it barely tasted sweet without the jelly. Would come back to try other drinks and the banh mi's. When I went they were sold out of bread at 4ishpm read more

I stumbled upon this tea shop over the weekend while looking for boba nearby, and I'm so glad I did. Joyu is tucked next to Noodle Man in the Haygood Shopping Center, with plenty of parking available. The shop is small but super cute, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. The menu is full of delicious drinks and food options, and the staff was kind, polite, and quick to take my order. I went with a large Lychee Tea with tapioca pearls, and it was absolutely refreshing, light, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. It's easily one of the best boba spots I've tried in the area. I've already told a handful of friends about it and can't wait to go back and try more. read more

This cake was so delicious! I love the cute cake and most of all it made my mouth water . The staff was friendly and efficient. I would love to order and enjoy again. read more
