    Stopped by for something sweet after grabbing tacos next door! Loved the decor and simplicity of the place. Opted for the cookies and cream milk shake and was surprised by the size (great size for the cost but was a little too sweet for me). When you have a moment, definitely drop by and show support!

    Price good and was super quick to come out. They have self order kiosks you can use too.

    MANGO MOJITO drink is REFRESHINGGG

    Tealux's second location is a hit! Great location, conveniently in the heart of Ghent. The first location has the advantage of an easy parking lot, but side street parking in Ghent is plentiful most hours of the day, so it's not that big of a deal. Inside, there's a few tables and some high seats along the window. Menu is mostly drinks, with a few food items. I think the other location has a bigger food menu. I really like their Red Roast Pork Banh Mi and last I remember, the new location in Ghent doesn't have it. But the new location DOES have their tofu dessert which I LOVE. For the uninitiated, tofu dessert is well known in most Asian countries, including China, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, and a few others. Of course, each country has their own variants, like Southern China's version is mostly sweet, served with a sweet ginger-based syrup, tapioca and sometimes sesame paste. It is a very refreshing dessert with good health benefits. This is also the version served at Tealux. My first time having this dessert was at the first Tealux location. It was served with ginger syrup and tapioca and was served in a bowl. However, when I had it about a week ago at the Ghent location, it was served in a plastic cup, which is definitely not Instagram-worthy...lol Before we eat food, we use our other senses like vision and smell, and serving it in a plastic cup is definitely not visually appealing. So, if y'all are keeping the item on the menu, I hope y'all change up the serving vessel. Overall, I'm definitely glad there's another Tealux! Definitely one of my go-to bubble tea shops in Hampton Roads. Looking forward to future visits!

    Very cute in here. Looks clean but smells really off putting. A little bit like sewage or trash which could be off putting for a food establishment. Besides that I do enjoy this spot!

    Luna Drink, Outside

    LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! My go-to is Luna with Magic Boba, less ice (so more drink) and less sugar! They have new cups and they're so pretty! Service is A+++++ always the sweetest people working there, never had a bad experience! Please keep supporting this business!

    TeaLux is a beautiful, cozy place to enjoy great food and refreshing drinks. Julian greeted me with a welcoming smile and explained the menu items to me and gave me great options for my order. I decided on the Sunset Paradise drink and a Special Combination sandwich. The Sunset Paradise was so sweet and yummy that I smiled while sipping on my tea. The bits of fruit floating in my drink were so tasty that I used a fork to scoop them out when I finished drinking. The special combination sandwich was full of incredible flavors. The sauce melded the two meat combo into a scrumptious treat. I was so full. Yes!! I ordered one to go for my son, Mom points! You will love the outstanding service, coloring, and playing cute games on the bar while your TeaLux treats fill your tummy! People-watching is another plus while at TeaLux in Ghent. Thanks for the great experience, Julian!

    OAT BROWN SUGAR FRESH MILK

    This is a cute, vibrant cafe. The staff is friendly and answered all of my questions. They have a huge variety of bubble teas and even some sweet bites. I had the Oat Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea. It was really good and I love the "pearls." I also like that they have varying sizes. Sometimes I only want a little milk tea so the 16 oz. size was perfect!

    Fantastic!! The family and I participated in the Yelp $7.57 deal Tealux is doing with Yelp. So we got two drinks for $7.57. It was our first time trying Tealux. We we all able to order whatever our little hearts desired. Our drinks were made pretty quick, but the attention to detail did not lack. As I say along with many others... they were all Instagram worthy! We ordered Heart on Fire, Aphrodite, and the canary. My husband got a milk tea. Everyone drank them pretty fast and had no complaints. The interior is so cute and clean. Customer service was great as well. They also have an outdoor patio which is super cute and would be perfect in nice weather.

    MATCHA MILK TEA
    Jessica L.

    I recently was gifted an experience with Yelp, but I came back a few days later on my own dime because I was craving it again! When I went in, there were two gentlemen working this time. I asked for the same exact drink that I ordered a few days prior (a matcha boba tea with limited sugar), but the guy at the register was very adamant about not being able to do that. I told him the other ladies who did my order a few days prior, put less amount of brown sugar syrup, and so he did that. It was good, just not as good as the day before. I will return, but prepare to be smelly like fried food if you go inside. It is a very strong scent, and lingers.

    I love that Tealux is expanding. I'm partial, though, to the original Tidewater Dr location because it's so close to home. Their Ghent location is awesome, too, because it's not far from AW Shucks, a restaurant I frequent a LOT. I can come through after/before Shucks & pick up a tea and/or smoothie (I almost always buy one of the 2). The only issue I have is the parking. Tealux can't help that, but I hate looking for parking on Colley. Oh well, there's always Tidewater Dr, haha. And hopefully Ghent's Tealux will be fully staffed. During my initial visit, there was only one person working (I believe this was still during their soft opening, though), and he told me he worked alone the entire day (I stopped by Sunday evening, 8/28/22). What's worse, while he was making my tea, he slipped and fell hard on his back. He got up, I asked if he was okay and was ready to call 911, but he said he was good to go. I hit him off with a decent tip because I felt bad and I've seen him rock it out before over at the Tidewater spot. I hope Tealux rocks it out in Ghent because I love their drinks and their people!

    LUNA
    Michelle E.

    So I'm so excited to try this new place. I'm looking for a fruit tea and the lady recommended me the Luna! It's a right combination of jasmine tea, lychee, butterfly pea, and sweetness! Surprisingly it good and refreshing! I also got there popcorn chicken was good! I can't wait to come back, and try their other tea here!

    One of the most unique boba shops I have visited. Along with boba tea, smoothies, milkshakes, and food items - such as sandwiches are offered. It is a small shop, but the decor is very trendy and there is still plenty of seating, a restroom, and outlets where you can charge up. Hip music plays on the radio. Toys and games are offered to occupy your time and brain while you wait. Service is kind and helpful. I was assisted with signing up for rewards, and I get lots of offers via text from them. We tried the chicken banh mi, Thai Tea, Cookies and Cream smoothie (just like a milkshake, I imagine the taro is the same). The bread on the banh mi is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was very good, full of fresh vegetables and tender meat. My brother loved his thai tea, and my sister and I really enjoyed the Cookies and Cream smoothie. I had to myself the Islander, mentioned in my Yelp Elite Week review. I can't wait to come back!! It's in Ghent, and I live in VA Beach, so it's a ways away - but excitingly, a location is opening up in my city, which I will definitely frequent!

    THAI TEA
    Kela G.

    I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon, and was the only patron in the restaurant. It was very chill with pop music and I was greeted when I entered the area. I ordered a Thai tea with oat milk and 50% sugar. Now I will take the blame for the taste because I assumed the oat milk would have been sweetened but it was not. It tasted more like a coffee than tea. However I should have upped the sugar for it and I think it would have been delicious. My total came up to $8 including tip and I will be back.

    My favorite is the tealux signature milk tea it's pretty good the only bad thing about this place so far is that they run out of boba often.

Lovely people watching, yet it's not so loud that table conversation of challenging. You'll notice that this is quick-ish dining. It's not fast-casual, but you're not waiting 30 minutes for your food. Expect at least 10 minutes for appetizers to arrive. Our entrees were ready in about 20, and the place was near capacity. The great thing about the wait? It was well worth it. Piping hot food, served with that homemade flavor arrives on dishes that almost match. I chuckled at the mismatched bowls that hit our table. I felt like family before my first bite. Meatloaf! I can't make one, but I'll eat one that is well made. Dense, flavorful and portioned to take some with you. My bonus was that I got my wife's leftovers, too. It was delicious! It was even better when I warmed it for lunch the next day. Traditional sides, worthy of their own review, but I'll keep it brief. Get the mashed potatoes! Send a thanks when you're full.

    This is THE place for gluten free meals and darn good for food in general…read more We tried egg white omelette, Maryland omelette, gluten free classic Benedict, hot chocolate, pastrami sandwich, turkey sando, roasted tomato and mozzarella gf sando Sometimes you don't get what you think you will. Hash browns are really home fries. Gf English muffins were out so bread subbed without notice. Such changes are fine-- everything still edible--it just adds to the "ok not blow me away" tendency here The pastrami sandwich is really good though! The meat is excellent and it has the traditional toppings. Service friendly Ambiance comfortable. Military discount

    Looking back at my photos from this visit brings a bittersweet feeling because the person I came…read morehere with is no longer in my life. However, looking past the personal nostalgia, my objective view of Baker's Crust remains incredibly high. This place truly delivers a solid dining experience. Here is my honest breakdown of the food and the vibe: The Fried Chicken & Egg: The fried chicken was absolutely delicious--the sauce they used was incredible and paired so well with the crispiness. As you can see from my photos, the fried egg on top was cooked to absolute perfection. The Drinks: The presentation of the food and drinks was beautiful and highly aesthetic. Just a little heads-up on the cocktails/drinks: they definitely pour them strong here! It gave me a tiny bit of a buzz, so pace yourself if you aren't looking to get tipsy too quickly. The Ambience & Service: The service was attentive and thoughtful throughout our meal. The AC was adjusted perfectly--not too cold, not too hot. The only minor downside to the environment is that it can get a little loud and bustling inside. Parking Tip: Since it's located in a busy commercial area, finding a parking spot can be a bit of a challenge. Give yourself a few extra minutes to park. When to visit: This spot is the ultimate destination if you want to catch up with friends, talk business in a casual setting, or simply treat yourself to a relaxing weekend morning. Honestly, it's best enjoyed on the weekend when you can actually slow down. Coming here on a busy weekday might not feel as worth it, simply because you won't have the time to truly sit back and savor the atmosphere. Even though times change and people move on, this place remains a wonderful spot for creating good moments.

Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Updated Review:…read more R.A.S is located inside of the handsome biscuit. There isn't really any seating inside so you have to order to go or sit down outside. The sandwich is just as the store name suggests basic, if you like a classic simple sandwich then this is your spot. I would have like to have seen a slightly higher quality meat for a sandwich shop. The meat on the sandwiches seems like regular prepackaged deli meat, given the price point there's nothing wrong with that. Most if not all of the sandwiches start at 8$ so everything is decently priced. If you want a sandwich but you don't want a jimmy John's or subway sub this is a nice alternative for a little midday lunch. Original Review: The yelp page says permanently closed however it is not, the sandwich just moved locations. It is now located inside of the handsome biscuit restaurant. I was excited to try this restaurant. I have attempted to try it a few times however they're "closed" each time despite the neon open sign being lit. The business should clarify if they are only open until they sell out or they may need to adjust the hours of operation that they have posted across various platforms as it causes confusion.
