    You know, the customer service was great! I didn't get ice cream for myself but i did for my baby and my sister got some also. I tried it and it was good. I love a good hand scooped ice cream. It is pricy though! I got one scoop for my kid and it was almost $7! I love good ice cream. So we may or may not be back. But the place is very cute and spacious.

    What a great shop right in Merchant's square in Colonial Williamsburg! They serve coffee, tea, ice cream, bubble teas, milk teas, and lemonade! I might be missing some of their drink options but I am sure you will be able to find something that you enjoy! The gentleman behind the counter was kind and patient as I took some time to figure out what I wanted. My drink which was a peach oolong tea with strawberry jelly beads was delicious. Lots of seating inside and free WiFi. Plenty of natural sunlight coming in as well. Would be a great place to do some work!

    Matcha milk tea with crystal boba and mango  Lychee oolong tea
    Lena M.

    Came here to cowork with the wonderful Coastal Virginia CM, Yoonie. This boba, ice cream, tea, and juice bar is so cute! ***LOCATION*** Located right outside of William & Mary, this shop is awesome. There is parking right next to the building or a pay to park parking lot across the street. The first two hours in the lot are free. ***EXPERIENCE*** We ordered the lychee oolong tea and the matcha milk tea with crystal boba and mango. My lychee oolong tea tasted just like fresh lychee! I will say it's brewed on the stronger side, so was a bit more bitter than I was hoping, but it was really refreshing. This is a wonderful spot to get some work done. They have strong wifi and lots of outlets. I appreciate the natural lighting in this space. ***PRICE*** Depending on what type and size of drink you get, prices range from $5-8. ***BATHROOM*** This spot shares a bigger building with other businesses. There isn't a bathroom in the actual Secret Garden space, but if you exit through their bigger building, you can find Women and Men restrooms not too far away. There are a few stalls in the Womens. ***CONCLUSION*** There is an extensive list of things you can order here! There is something for everyone. It's a great spot to meet up with a friend and get some work done.

    Coconut milk tea with mango jelly and milk cream foam
    Grace K.

    Food - 3.5 service - 5 ambiance- 4 Prob more like a 3.5. But 4 is generous. I got the coconut milk tea with mango jelly and milk foam. Light ice and "less sugar". It was okay. I wish I tried the coconut slush instead. It wasn't cold enough. Even if it's light ice it should still be cold and there were maybe two ice cubes. And they melted right away. The coconut was a powder base and tasted a little artificial. The mango jelly was yummy. It was "less sugar" but was a little sweeter than I felt it should be. It wasn't bad but it wasn't one of my top boba places. The menu was a little sparse as well. It is located in a cute area of Williamsburg, the old town area and the parking is not that difficult. Cute enough inside with decent seating area, I would go again if my boba tea mood strikes and I am in the area. Seems like there's not a lot of similar places nearby.

    Coffee and Icecream

    We were out for the day seeing the sights after a couple hours we decided to take a break and found this cool spot. Coffee drinks, tea, and most importantly some great ice cream. Selection wasn't huge, but this mouth watering treat was exactly what I was looking for.

    frozen mango milk tea with tapioca bubble
    Sasha B.

    the secret garden cafe had such a welcoming atmosphere! the staff was friendly and helpful, which initially gave me high hopes because my partner and i are big boba fans. we ordered a frozen mango milk tea and an oolong milk tea, both with tapioca bubbles. the presentation was beautiful - the drinks looked picture-perfect! however, upon taking our first sip, we noticed that the tapioca bubbles weren't fully cooked . instead of the usual smooth, chewy texture, they were a bit hard and rough. unfortunately, we weren't satisfied with the drinks and ended up not finishing them. while the experience wasn't ideal, we wouldn't completely write off the secret garden cafe. the positive aspects like the friendly service and beautiful presentation encourage us to give them another chance in the future. however, we'd definitely emphasize the importance of fully cooked tapioca bubbles when ordering again.

    By far the BEST frozen milk tea I've had. I ordered the strawberry frozen milk tea with boba and it tasted just like a strawberry milkshake. It wasn't too sweet or too thick, it was just right! The establishment itself was very clean. It appeared to be fairly new. The staff was also friendly. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area looking for a nice cool treat.

    Bubble tea
    Jessica L.

    Went on the fourth of july and it was super packed. We waited a while for our drinks. It was hot and muggy inside. The bubble tea tasted ok.

    Cool little boba / milk tea bar.....
    Audry P.

    While looking for a coffee shop i happened across this lovely little boba (bubble tea) place. They had a lovely selection of milk teas that included a choice of boba! I decided on matcha, because I wanted to try something new. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the matcha was! I usually go for Thai, or taro (my absolute favorite) Service was fast, friendly, and the product was quite delicious! Swing by and snag a drink.... Sit at the many tables or outside seats they have available. Ambiance: casual Cleanliness: very clean Service: good

    Brown sugar milk tea and regular black milk tea with boba.
    Brienna V.

    The best brown sugar boba we've ever had. I think the milk might be frothed but whatever they do, it's a game changer. Highly recommend. You will probably need insulin afterward.

    Came here on a whim while we were out here at Anvil. I randomly decided: let's get some ice cream!!…read moreFired up Yelp, and bam... less than a 5 minute drive. What an AMAZING find... Yelp was spot on! The employees were SOOOO friendly and inviting. They were all smiles, let my daughter ask all the questions, and just pleasant to work with. They made the experience (and the ice cream) one that made us immediately want to come back. With all the competition in the area for ice cream, this place is definitely a top contender! If you're in the area, make sure you come and visit! Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Imagine an ice cream shop... then modernize it and some fun colors and recipes... there ya go! Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: outside seating maybe - can't remember

    Yesterday around 3:30 p.m., my family and I stopped by one of our favorite ice cream shops, The Big…read moreScoop, and we were truly impressed by Courtney. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and outstanding customer service. Although she was the only employee working, she handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and grace. There were already three families enjoying their ice cream when we arrived, and while we were there, she served our family along with three additional families--all while scooping ice cream, operating the cash register, and keeping things running smoothly. I asked if she was always scheduled to work alone, and she mentioned that another employee was supposed to arrive at 3:00 p.m. By the time we left around 4:20 p.m., she was still managing the entire shop by herself without ever losing her positive attitude or composure. Courtney deserves recognition for her incredible work ethic, professionalism, and dedication. In a time when great customer service can be hard to find, she set an outstanding example. Thank you, Courtney, for making our visit such a wonderful experience. The Big Scoop is fortunate to have someone like you representing their business!
