And in some cases, folks would eat in their vehicle. That was the case when I went here for the 1st time. Fast forward to now, I happened to run into The SnoBall Shop when I picked up food from a food truck nearby. Let's see how everything went. After leaving a food truck right across the street, I headed here to order a snoball which I haven't had over a year. Just like the 1st time, you head to the front to place your order. Beforehand, I took a look at all the flavors available and chose white chocolate. I also chose marshmallow fluff for the topping. Overall, the snoball was good. The white chocolate flavor was present throughout and having the marshmallow fluff as a topping and in the middle helped with each serving. The snoball did melt due to the weather outside, but it was totally fine. Once again, the SnoBall Shop came through for yours truly. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. Till next time :)

The Snoballs are gluten-free, peanut-free, cholesterol-free, fat-free, and contain no high-fructose corn syrup. They come in 4 sizes, with over 100 flavors (including sugar-free), plus toppings and fruit. You could even use various creams, sodas, or ice cream to make a SnoDas- a SnoStyle Soda Drink. You can make their version of a milkshake (SnoShakes) or a Red Bull (SnoVivers). Each snoball includes two flavors, and with over 80 flavors, there are over 5,000 combinations. Since I am limiting my alcohol consumption nowadays, I ordered a margarita and sangria, regular size - it had all the taste of those flavors without the hangover. 1401B Lynnhaven Pkwy, Virginia Beach, VA 23453 Fall Hours: Every day 2 pm - 8 pm

Probably need to walk through once and look before you start choosing or you will go overboard. Most of what is in the store is sold by a bulk price. All of the signs say $3.49 per 1/4 pound. That looks great. But that is $13.96 a pound. That probably wouldn't look great on a sign. So if you just start walking around grabbing a little if this and a little of that then your bag will get heavy real fast. Just be cautious. They also have all this old candy from when I was young. There are big candies. A lot of stuffed animals. There is a counter with fudge. All different kinds of salt water taffy. It is awesome.

I went with a classic specialty drink: brown sugar marble milk with boba, and it did not disappoint. The staff, especially the friendly woman who made my drink, made the experience even better.

Great drinks, welcoming service, and a relaxed spot to enjoy your boba! If you're at the mall, check it out!

The lady making the drinks even asked if we wanted a small slit in the lid to help assist with adding the straw and I thought that was very helpful! I love how bright and decorated their shop is as well! The drinks were wonderful and the coffee was delicious. It wasn't overly sweet and tasted as if it were freshly brewed. The boba/tapioca pearls were also very good. I love the chewy texture and it paired so well with the coffee! Jelly Ball offers an array of hot and cold drinks and even has slushies and smoothies so I plan on trying something different every time I go lol!

Not only does this brewery serve amazing beer and good food, they also conduct concerts and multiple events throughout the week. This brewery is so popular that I prefer to hit their off-peak times and enjoy a few beers on one of their Adirondack chairs. The service is great and I haven't ever ordered something off their menu that wasn't great! Tiki or hazy like a fox are my go-to IPAs, both are crisp and smooth. Their burgers are arguably their best food option.

Absolutely love New Realm and recommend it to anyone visiting the local VAB area…read more The venue is great. Large, open spaces on the outside with plenty of seating, fire pits, games, and music. Oh, and an outside bar if needed. The inside is an industrial style vibe with a beautiful long bar stretching the length of the room with excellent taps and awesome merch. The staff are kind and friendly, and the overall atmosphere is very inviting. The food is delicious and doesn't break the bank. All in all, New Realm is just a point blank great place to hangout, indulge, and unwind. If you're looking for a venue that can accommodate any size party for any kind of event, this is your spot. A local favorite for sure.

My favorite boba shop in the area!…read more Their last day in VB is June 28th, so this review might not be helpful for long, but I wanted to leave it in case someone is looking back and wonders what this shop was like :) Why is it my favorite? 1. Their drinks are reasonably priced. The full price for an iced drink with boba (I believe it's 20oz, check the photos for reference) is under $7 including tax. Some shops in the area charge closer to $8 for their smallest size. 2. The owners are incredibly kind. They even have a policy where if you don't like the drink you ordered, you can choose a different one or they can remake it free of charge. 3. Their iced peach oolong milk tea is hands down my FAVORITE boba drink I have ever tried in the area, and it's not a drink I find at other boba shops! I also really love their ube oolong milk tea as a close second favorite. 4. They recently started making their own tapioca pearls from scratch. They don't use preformed ones, which makes the texture and freshness stand out more. And the way they cook and flavor it is perfect! I hope the new customers in Jacksonville, FL will appreciate this shop as much as I did :)

We talked about going here last year, but they were closed on Saturdays (which changed recently). Given we both like boba tea, it seemed harmless to give them a try. There was a bit of a crowd inside when we entered. Families were seated with their kids during playtime. The staff did welcome us toward the counter to order. There are a few tables and the decor's pretty nice. Not a bad spot if you're on a lunch break during the day. For my order, I selected one of the specials on their order, an Ube Slush with tapioca pearls. Within minutes, the order was ready. It tasted well with the flavor of Ube coming through, but after a few sips it tasted very light. They did have the sugar intake at 50-60%, which was fine, but needed more Ube to taste a bit stronger. It was good enough however when I made the drive home. Not bad for our first time here. We'll be able to stop by the next time we're in the area :)

Wine is made on site in the distillery and she has been in business for 8 years. We visited on a Saturday and there was a couple of vendors on site selling merchandise. 5 bucks for 6 samples is definitely reasonable. We indulged in the fruit infused wines, draft wines and slushies. I must say the draft wines were delicious and I wished those were bottled so I could have brought them home. All in all great places and would definitely stop in again.

We were the only patrons for much of our visit. My birthday daughter and I ordered wine sample flights and chatted up the owner. Wife shopped the gift area and picked out a nice bauble. The good: the owner was very engaging and told us about the wines (and wine slushies) they offer. We asked where the grapes came from and she explained that some came from Chile, some from California (I believe) and other places, and that she blends them here. (This would be expected with no attached vineyard.) The place was very clean, and the restrooms were easily accessible and spacious. The price of the flights was a mere $5 for six communion cup sized samples -- you choose 6 of I guess 12 - 15. Mulled wine is a welcome option on a winter day. The disappointing: While there is a good assortment of wines, and many were on the good side of okay, none stood out and said BUY A BOTTLE OF ME. The fruity sweet wines were VERY sweet, not really good for dessert wine or sipping. (Sorry.) But again, the reds especially were drinkable and pleasant. Verdict: a good stop if you need a break and a glass or two to go with your conversation. Just don't set expectations too high and you'll be fine.

I chose a Horchata iced coffee (two espresso shots) but asked for no extra sugar and asked how sweet it was (pregnant so trying to watch my overall daily sugar intake as much as I can) but it was SO sweet when I got it... a little too much cinnamon too. I also got the Harvest bowl with potatoes, eggs, feta, spinach and tomato. It was OK but kind'a really bland and no ketchup or anything. My friend had the Cuban sandwich with smashed potatoes and it looked DELISH. She loved it. We wanted to split a cinnamon roll but didn't.
