Quina did it again! Green tea with ginger was perfect. All the staff is so welcoming and accommodating. The shop is small and intimate but the service is fast. You can sit and sip or take your drink to go. read more

Friendly staff, well lit and bright space. So many choices. I picked taro and coconut, no additional jelly or bubbles. It was refreshing but didn't have a strong taste of either taro of coconut. Next time I'll try something else. read more

I headed here right after work to have some liquids before heading to the Yelp Elite event nearby. Sophia and I have traveled to the area a few times but never stopped here due to other plans. Being a boba tea fan, this always caught my attention. And reviews online have been very positive. Let's see if the visit was worth it. The staff greeted me once I walked inside. No foot traffic at all. Inside, the decor was really nice and well kept. Unfortunately, I didn't able to take pictures of artwork, but if you're a fan of anime, you're in the right place. Very cool indeed. I placed my order via the tablet at the counter with no issues. My choice was a large Strawberry Yogurt with strawberry heart jelly with 50% ice. Pretty good stuff. I assume it was set at 50% sugar (on the tablet, you have an option of 0% or 100% which I didn't select), but it did taste a bit on the sweet side. Nonetheless, my blood sugar was good hours later so no harm done. I've had heart jelly in previous drinks before and it worked well in this one too. Great stuff. I can see why it has great marks from the area. I think Sophia will enjoy this place once I come by again. Till next time :) read more

I stopped by here the other day for a boba tea, and discovered they also had a basque cake. I've wanted to try one so I inquired about the ingredients beforehand. The staff politely told me the ingredients. I also tried a coconut milk tea. It was light and refreshing. The cake was rich and decadent...truly delicious. You rider via the kiosk and then they'll let you know once your order is ready. They have a few tables if you want to sit and drink your tea or eat your sweets. read more

I stopped by Tapioca Go to get a Lychee Green Tea one day and let my boyfriend take a sip. He enjoyed it so much that after we got to his house, we went back to get himself his own drink and another for myself! Ever since then, it's been our go-to boba shop whenever we're in Chesapeake. Love how Tapioca Go isn't too pricey, gives you a generous portion of toppings, and doesn't give you too much ice in your drinks. Thank you Tapioca Go for being the first boba shop to get my boyfriend hooked on boba :) read more

I finally tried the Volcannno from Tapioca Go and oh my gosh it was everything!! The brown sugar boba at the bottom was warm and soooo soft, and it made the whole drink extra creamy and dreamy. I didn't even have to ask for less ice, they just got it perfect. The flavor was rich but not too sweet, and the pearls were soft and chewy in the best way. Honestly, it was kind of magical how the warm boba mixed with the cold milk and sweet cream on top... total texture heaven. I should've ordered two because I was lowkey sad when it was gone. PS: It's only available on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays after 2pm, so plan ahead, it's worth it!! read more

Definitely the best boba place in the tri-city area (that I've been to so far). I get the same thing everywhere I go; taro with tapioca boba. The drink my husband gets here is always delicious as well! My only qualm are the somber faces that you continuously get from behind the counter. This place really needs to take some lessons in friendly service. It's the only drawback keeping it from 5 stars. I get everyone has a bad day, but I've been here probably 10 times and the attitudes are the same across the board, no matter which cashier you get. read more

Tapioca Go - Taro - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Randomly decided i wanted a boba type drink to carry home with me Saw this little shop tucked away in the shopping center I did a quick Yelp search and decided yes yes I want this Oh I love the one piece decorations that are all over the restaurant The prices are very reasonable they have peach popping boba as well normally I only see strawberry I was very excited for this. Then I saw they have a matcha drink with red bean as a topping and I got super excited I ordered two drinks with no regrets hahaha I got the Hawaiian tea which came with a full slab of pineapple I say slab because it was like rack of ribs hahaha it was the biggest spear of pineapple id ever had in a drink and It was sweet and juicy The matcha drink also had a cheese foam topping this was my favorite for such. Next time I'll ask for no ice but otherwise it was perfect The staff are friendly and work very fast. The bathrooms were clean and the whole place had a great feel to it read more

I have had better boba tea unfortunately. I'm a HUGE fan of boba tea. And I have to try it everywhere I go. I had high hopes for my drink and was disappointed. I got the TG Volcannno. I liked the nuts. But the flavor fell short for me. It tasted like just milk with a little bit of brown sugar. I feel like another flavor could've made this so much better. 5 out 10 My hubs got the red bean milk tea. And it had a very strong tea flavor and the red beans were hard to suck up. 7 out 10 Overall it could've been better for me. read more

Tapioca Go - Volcannno w. Foam & Nut - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I cannot rave about this place enough (Chesapeake location, I've not yet been to the VB one!) . I have tried PLENTY of boba places both on the west coast where I'm from and now here in Hampton Roads. 99.9% of the time the tapioca (boba) is cooked to perfection and when it's not it's still better than the rest, there is a great variation of drinks offered, and the employees, I'm embarrassed to admit, know my order by heart bc I'm there so often. The staff is great, their loyalty program is generous and they have multiple ways to order and pay if you want to be in and out or try to go incognito when it's your 5th time in a week showing up like me Their brown sugar series is delish, their house tea (decaf!!! Which is what I live for) is unique and so tasty, and my kids are now even hooked on boba so it's not even just my treat anymore. They love the strawberry yogurt, honeydew, or winter melon with tapioca and we all love the snow cream (not a fan of the salt cheese foam but that's not to say it's bad it's just not my preference)! We are also obsessed with their basque cake. Every visitor we have from outta state comes here and becomes a believer. They end up going back home and telling me they can't find a boba place in their home towns that compare! GO. ORDER. NOW!!! read more

It's ok...that's the best I'll give it. They are not my favorite for boba tea. They are a little pricey and the flavor just isn't as good as some others. We have noticed inconsistent texture with the boba as well. Service tends to be neutral and the ambiance is like any fast food joint with cleanliness depending on how busy they are. We have been in on a couple of occasions that the tables were empty but not wiped down. read more

I went to Tapioca Go in search of some good boba teas to quench my thirst. Upon entry, I was promptly greeted. I told the girl it was my first time and she handed me a menu and suggested I check out the poster board with all the fan favorites (see pics). I'm am pretty old school when it comes to Boba or Bubble Tea (tomato/tomatoe). I remember when bubble teas were so basic with just teas and milk teas with just the tapioca pearls. I get overwhelmed now with all the teas, milks, froths/snow creams (even smoothies, like what? How is that a tea?) and even the types of bubbles and jellies! I was getting order stress with too many options, so I decided to go for a fruity tea and a milky one. Passionfruit Green Tea with mango star jellies and popping peach pearls - I was initially going to go with Mango Green Tea but the girl suggested going with the Passionfruit Green Tea so I wouldn't get such an intensity of the mango, not that there is anything wrong with that being a mango lover. I'm glad I took her advice because it was a nice medley of tropical fruity flavors with the three fruits. I must say, being old school, I actually prefer these jellies and popping pearls. Right amount of sweet. It was refreshing and satisfied my craving. Thai Tea - I chose to get a Thai Tea as a drink to save for later and also to try the milk variety since I got a fruity one for immediate consumption. It was also on the Top 10 board so I thought I would give it a shot. I opted not to get the tapioca pearls since I got the fruity ones in the fruity tea. It was really good and just perfect when I did have it later today. - Notes/Tips - *They offer a military discount only on Mondays. (Thank you, TG!) *I noticed that the Brown Sugar Milk Tea seems to be available only on certain days. Not sure if this is just for this particular item but that's what I noticed at first glance at the menu. *Not sure if they had seating before this pandemic, or even before this new variant, but the bathrooms were blocked off and closed. No tables and chairs and there is a counter by the window, but no barstools either. In case you decided to dine in. *They have a rewards program that you sign up simply with your phone number and you earn points to get free teas. Sure, I'm in. It's conveniently located on Sam's Drive in the same strip as Judy's, so I was able to knock the 2 places at once! There are so many good spots around the area too! Stay safe, Friends! read more

Quite the variety, great location, and prices are typical. A great alternative to an ice cream treat is boba or milk tea

We were getting lunch together at a place nearby and I really wanted some boba. I opened my handy dandy Yelp app and found this store right around the corner. I went with the honeydew milk tea with crystal boba. The drink was okay, it wasn't terrible, but instead of a strong honeydew flavor, the entire drink tasted florally. Some sips it felt as if I sprayed my grandmother's perfume in my mouth. Not sure if it was the tea itself or the crystal boba. The boba itself were tiny little balls and they were incredible firm. Not soft like I expected. My husband got a normal black milk tea and his was quite enjoyable. They did take the wrong name down the first day, but we liked how they made the experience a little more personal by asking for our names. We came back the next day day and I asked about the honeydew, and they remade one for me and gave me a sample cup to try. It tasted the same. I don't know if it's because of the Jasmine tea they use and I'm more acclimated to black tea, but I couldn't force myself to drink it. They gladly made me a regular iced black milk tea instead and my husband got a chai. The staff were pleasant both days, and we'd easily recommend the iced black and chai milk teas. read more

My boba journey started in this area about 6 years ago! As I am in the area at least once per year, it provides opportunities to try new venues, and Tapioca Go did not disappoint! From my home area here in RI to this area, Tapioca Go truly did not disappoint! And if I'm being honest you may want to go here first in the Chesapeake or Virginia Beach area! You will not be sorry! read more

Tapioca Go - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

To this day, I have never found any boba place that makes Wintermelon Milk Tea like tapioca go. This place makes the best drinks, I've never been disappointed. I'm super picky when it comes to my boba, so for me to find a place I love is rare. I've been going here since 7th grade and my drink order has always been WINTERMELON Milk Tea with Peach Boba (highly recommend trying), and it is just a chef's kiss. The employees are always sweet and the owner is also sweet. They make their brown sugar milk teas also super well, I've never been disappointed by them either. Other places make it weirdly unflavored in comparison of tapioca go. I will always love this place and all my money goes towards the boba here. Also the store itself is so cute, I have so many good memories there. read more

This is one of our regular spots we stop by in Chesapeake. They have consistently good tea and I believe I would enjoy most of their menu. They do a brown sugar series, but it is only specific days after 2PM. I do recommend trying them at least once. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating for our orders. We usually get a honeydew milk tea, but it normally comes with jasmine tea. We prefer it with black tea and they have no issues ever switching the base tea. The inside also is cozy and has a nice anime theme to it. There is plenty of seating and computers to order at if you prefer that method. They do occasionally have seasonal items that we are always on the lookout for. read more

Cute little kick back. Drinks were delicious and the puffs were to die for. Not too sweet. Will be back soon. read more

Returned to Tapioca Go for its delicious Taro bubble tea! The staff is so efficient and friendly. I love that they have more then just bubble teas, the smoothies and fruity icy crushes are good too. I have tried the berry fruit drinks and the Galaxy, they are tasty! I noticed some cool options for those in need of a lactose free drink. They have put the tables back out and the restrooms are open again. I sat at the bar top at the entrance. It was a pleasant experience and I again enjoyed the decor and stickers in there. Can't wait for my next visit to Tapioca Go! read more

Tapioca Go - Taro Black MilkTea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

In my opinion, Tapioca Go, along with TeaLuxe, KungFu Tea and Gong Cha make up the Big Four, as in the four best bubble tea spots in the 757 area. I really like the cute interior décor of Tapioca Go. The overall quality of their ingredients and their craft, makes some pretty tasty drinks! My go-to drinks here are still the Passionfruit Green Tea, Wintermelon Green Tea, and you can never go wrong with the classic Taro! I always adjust the sugar level in my drinks to minimal though. They do offer military discount on Monday's which is cool of them! read more

haha... What a neat place. If you've ever had a tapioca dessert, you're in for a special treat. This place has nailed it down to a science. Seriously, the options are endless. Because there are so many options, they give you a "top 10" board of town favorites to help get you started. Not gonna lie... this was exceptionally helpful. With so many options, you could stare at the menu for an hour trying to create a masterpiece in your head. After deciding on my drink, they even have a "sweetness" level for your drink. I appreciate this since we don't like crazy sweet. I opted for 75% and they sure as heck delivered. I wish this place was closer to us but all in all, I know where to go if I'm in the area for something light, refreshing, and fun. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no read more

About a 2-2.5: Tapioca Go is a local bubble tea shop that offers various milk tea, milk foam, smoothies, non-milk beverages, yogurt, and coffee beverages with different types of toppings (tapioca, lychee jelly, peach-flavored boba, coffee jelly, yogurt-flavored boba, herbal jelly, honey aloe, mango star jelly, egg pudding, and strawberry heart jelly). They also have random promotions featuring eats, such as salads. We stopped by having a few meals in the area, and I decided to try one of their specialty drinks, the Galaxy. Definitely aesthetically pleasing, as it was layers of different colors with crushed ice. While the flavor was just okay, the drink was literally almost all ice. It was a little disappointing because I would think that the drink would be more slushee-like or a moderate-serving of a beverage. Staff were friendly. There were plenty of tables available, and there are plenty of spots to park in the shared plaza lot. +too much ice in drinks! +friendly staff +plenty of seats +parking in shared plaza lot read more

[Coronavirus review] This was definitely a want rather than a need. I had to wait to even enter the store because of restrictions and because it is apparently a popular place. They had an ordering kiosk inside to save time and minimize interaction. I got a grapefruit tea that had some pretty substantial pieces of grapefruit in it, and added fruity jellies and popping boba. Some might call that excessive, but it's how I roll. The mix of fruits was pretty delicious. I was a bit miffed that they didn't seem to have non-dairy milk, and some of my favorite flavoring elements, such as red beans and mint, were absent. The tea I got was large and worthwhile. read more

Full disclosure: I love bubble tea but I am always wary of trying new non-chain bubble tea establishments because it's always 50/50 and I've been batting zero the last few times I tried one. I stopped in with zero expectations despite positive reviews. Because I came on a Sunday, I was able to get one of the brown sugar series drinks and I chose the Volcannno with all the goodies (foam & nuts). OMG! It was delicious!! Highly recommend. The drink is made with Lactaid milk and the nuts add this delicious flavor and amazing texture that paired so well with the boba. I wish I lived locally so I could get one every weekend but alas, I'll have to wait until next year. read more

Solid Boba tea house. Taro Smoothie I got was on the sweet side. I was desperate for a drink at the time, after a long drive from DC to attend my sister's birthday dinner near Chesapeake VA! We stopped in this area by Volvo line Pkwy to pick up bundtinis at Nothing Bundt cakes! I googled for boba tea and this location showed up on the map. Although the drink was a little sweet, it refreshed me! It was at the right place at the most desperate time! read more

Update 2019: I know I've boasted and spoke very highly of drinks at Tapioca Go from the start. Very very avid "boba tea drinker" since I could breathe air. Been over a year since they've first opened and it's been nothing but BETTER! I don't want to put down any other businesses. But I just can't stress enough that every time I've made the choice of going somewhere just because of convenience/laziness, I am disappointed with the taste and quality. Tapioca Go is still always the better choice in terms of quality, taste, freshness, and consistency! Every single time! Every single drink! The other day I was CRAVING matcha! And again out of pure laziness and convenience, I chose to goto another place because they are right down the street. Let's just say I didn't finish the drink. Today I ordered delivery through Postmates from Tapioca, messaged them personally on Instagram, asking if they could make me a Matcha Drink! They DID. AND IT WAS AMAZING. They have this down to a CRAFT and they are fantastic! Thank you to all those at tapioca go! read more

I love winter melon tea and that's the only thing I order whenever we go to boba places. My SO loves Tapioca Go and he is a VIP member. Most of the time, he'll order our drinks "to go." As for me, I've only been Tapioca Go twice. I ordered Winter melon Tea with tapioca pearls. Normally, I do not get tapiocas or if I do, I only want just a few pieces. Their tapiocas are crunchy and I think that was the most memorable thing from my drink. I like how customers are able to customize their drinks by the amount of sweetness and the amount of ice they can put on their drinks. Other than that, Tapioca Go is almost the same as every boba places in the area. We will definitely come back to Tapioca Go due to its location. It's very convenient for us. I just wish that there is something about this place that will stand out from the rest. read more

Tapioca Go - Winter melon milk tea and winter melon tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I was excited to see a Bubble milk tea spot in Chesapeake! And with their soft opening here's my chance to try as much teas for 50% off. The set up looks similar to the competition but with clean wood decor and the love of Pokémon. There were customers hanging out playing games while sipping on their drinks. The music was playing good music out the speakers on each corner of the room. It wasn't clear or crisp but hey I'm not staying and hanging out. The staff seem to be attentive to make the drinks and had a good system going. I didn't wait long considering people are ordering like 3-4 drinks each ahead of me. I asked a few questions to the guy behind the register and he seemed a little under knowledge about their products. My go to order with any bubble tea is 'coconut milk tea' with tapioca. Well here..It was just ok, not the best I've had. It had a floral undertone taste to it so I'm not sure if that is the signature taste at Tapiaco Go. I didn't find it to be creamy and even at 50% less sugar it was still way too sweet. The tapioca was chewy and soft and I enjoyed it very much. I also tried the Rose milk tea with Aloe jelly... and it had a nice flavor to it, just what you would expect in a Rose drink, but again way too sweet!! I'm going to try more of their drinks during their soft opening and hope one of their drinks will keep me coming back but for now nothing beats my favorite coconut milk tea elsewhere! read more

5/5. Great milk tea. I got the pumpkin milk tea with tapioca and it was the perfect fall treat. My boyfriend got the kiwi tea with tapioca and jt was a little sweet even thought we got 50% sugar.

This place was a fun find. I'm new to the area and have been searching for a good place for Boba tea to scratch the itch. While their menu isn't super elaborate, there is enough variety so that there's something for everyone. I'm extremely happy that they have winter melon, but kind of bummed they don't have roasted milk tea. I got 0% sugar in both of the drinks I ordered and they both came out extremely sweet. I'm assuming that's because of the flavoured syrups they use. Overall, the taste of both drinks was good. The yogurt Boba was better than the tapioca - which I found a little undercooked. It lacked the tender chew I was looking for and I probably wouldn't get it as a topping again. They should also probably double check orders since I asked for wintermelon tea and got wintermelon milk tea instead. The person behind the counter was very nice and patient with me. She let me taste the toppings to help with the decision process, which directly influenced what I chose. Overall, I would come back to try other flavours. I would stick to a non tapioca topping, and 0% sugar. read more

Absolutely in love with this place. The manager and the young lady at the counter were so warm, friendly, and helpful and helped my family and I after our completely botched drink orders we received at the NOT-AFFILIATED store in Macarthur Mall (rated 1/5). The store itself has a really cute otaku vibe with pokémon all over and cute simple, clean wooden furniture and the smell of fresh boba and steamed milk. The boba isn't too chewy or slimy and the tea-flavoring ratio is spot-on. tl;dr tapioca go in GREENBRIER is the way to go. read more

Tapioca Go - Mango Green Tea; Kumquat & Lemon Green Tea; Strawberry Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Seems like bubble tea shops have been popping up everywhere and I've heard good things about Tapioca Go. As I walked in, I noticed a resemblance to Kung Fu Tea in the way the front counter and seating area is set up.There are board games and free WiFi to take advantage of. Maybe I'm spoiled with KFT because I was looking for a lychee or pineapple punch but saw they only offer a selection of teas, maybe a few smoothies. There were a few free samples, which is actually different than the other bubble tea shops I've been to. Cool idea especially for those who aren't familiar with bubble tea. I opted for the traditional taro tea which was really good, maybe one of the best I've tried with a strong taste of taro. The only complaint I would have is that the cashier mentioned some kind of rewards program and said he just needs a phone number to enter in but he had me write it down on paper....and I never received a text or email pertaining to the program. Hmm. read more
