The place is open and clean looking. They have tables and lots of space in between. The cups are really cute and the drinks are good. The employees were friendly and greeted us as we walked in. I got the honey jasmine milk tea. I did ask to decrease the sugar. There are a few drinks that they can not due to the way it is prepared. They also sell food items like the Vietnamese sandwiches and Hong Kong egg waffles. I did not order food, but the guy next to me really Seems to be enjoying his sandwich. LoL! So here is the part I like the least, but I know I have to be objective. The negative:The shopping center they are located at has a horrible parking situation and trying to get out of here can be tricky. It is also a bit far from home so hopefully they will add one closer to me. read more

This place has been on my bookmark list for forever, so it seems! I finally made the drive out and I already want to return!! The exterior is so cute and the nearby stores are very modern as well. Inside is very cute and dainty. I would definitely like to return sometime to play some games and try out the food. I was there early so it wasn't busy! Reasoning why my review is only 4 stars is because of the service. We were initially the ONLY customers. We walked in and... no greeting. I didn't mind because I was interested and intrigued by my surroundings and wanted to check out the menu. Once we decided what we wanted we got close to the register... like touching the counter close. There were two employees there and still no one said anything. Then one of the employees turned around saw us and then turned back around to what she was doing. We uncomfortably just waited. About a minute later another customer came in. Waited about another minute before that customer directed us on how to order! Apparently everything is self service. But it would be nice if there was a greeting that implied to self order or if there was a sign or something. Because we were new customers and I was curious about dairy free milk substitutions so I had to call over for an employee. I ended up getting the honey jasmine milk tea in with oat milk. It was absolutely delicious. I was amazed at the oh-so-yummy taste. I will most definitely return. This time I'll already know to self order lol read more

This was my first time at Tealux cafe and I was not disappointed! I ordered the heart on fire 10/10 and the bulgogi/banh Mi Bo Nuong (spicy) 10/10. The bulgogi had enough spice to kick in the flavor but not overbearing. The atmosphere was cute and welcoming and the service was pretty fast. I'll definitely be back. read more

Been to Tealux Cafe numerous time and I cannot believe it took me this long to write a review. This bubble tea shop is an awesome cafe for drinks and food. It's owned by a Vietnamese lady that takes pride in her food and also connecting with her customers. Every time she is in the back and sees my boyfriend and I, she takes the time to talk to us. The bubble tea is 5/5. It's fresh and if you order it right away you get the warm and gooey texture that I look for at local boba shops. Sometimes if you order ahead online they make the drinks and store in the fridge so the boba may no be as warm. They have a variety of different Vietnamese street and traditional foods! I'm giving this a 4/5 because I have noticed that when the owners are not there, the food quality can be a hit or a miss. The Bahn Mi's are out of this world when it's a hit, and have a fusion twist with different types of bahn mi's. Another great option is there popcorn chicken that has a crispy coating that's crunchy and flavorful in your mouth. Sometimes they also have off menu items if you just ask, so keep a look out on that! The cafe has a cute vibe that makes you want to come back! They also have a light up sign with there name on it for instagram. The shop is clean and has multiple indoor seating areas for friends and family to join. read more

Everyone is really nice and the place is always clean! There is a good selection of drinks and Great service as well.

Finally, a boba place just a couple minutes from home. Usually we have to travel a bit further to get some boba, but whenever I get a craving, I find myself going here for the convenience. The parking is a little hectic, considering how tight it is in the lot, shared amongst other shops nearby. If you need to get some grocery shopping done, you have Walmart right down the street, a nail shop, some food options (Applebees, dominos, wingstop, fudruckers, tropical smoothie). There's something for everyone. The inside of the cafe is super cute. The lighting, the plants - it's a vibe. They have board games for people to play with (great bonding moments). The menu consists of a variation of fruit teas, milk teas, coffee, smoothie and food options, like a banh mi - if you don't know what that is, it's a Vietnamese sandwich filled typically with meat + some fresh veggies. Super good. I've never tried it from here so I can't speak for theirs. We always get the same thing each time we come here - the signature milk tea. It's a black milk tea + tapioca pearls (pretty sure the pearls are soaked in brown sugar syrup). Beware of the caffeine because it's pretty strong, lol. But in a good way. It's pretty sweet, but they give you the option to cut the sweetness down. I will say if you don't like super soft tapioca pearls, you won't like the ones in these. Every time I've had it, the texture has been consistent. I don't mind it being sticky + chewy, I'll take it over being too hard. They have a regular size option or the large. The price difference is only $1 more. They large cups are made out of a sturdy plastic so when you shake it won't break :) lol. read more

The environment and staff here are very awesome. The drinks are delicious and unique, which can not be found anywhere else

Tealux Cafe Ratings: 3.4/5 Food: 3/5 - Got the Islander, which is Jasmine tea with passion fruit, mango and pineapple. Nothing too impressive. The tea itself was refreshing, but average with a slight hint of fresh fruity taste and not much of the Jasmine tea either. To me, it was too tropical and tasted a bit too syrupy. The toppings were pretty decent, but once again nothing too special. The downside is that I was expecting more "actual" fruits in my tea, but literally got like one orange slice in my drink. Compared to other fruit teas I got at other boba shops, at a price of $6.50, the container would be stacked with a variety of different fruits. Ambiance: 4/5 - Located in the same shopping center complex as Wal-Mart with lots of parking spots. It is a nice place to sit inside and hang out with friends on a chill day. The interior is clean, bright, with lots of huge planted window and pretty decor on the walls. Definitely can be a happy place for high school students to chill and relax with some board games. Price: 2.75/5 - Got the popular drink, Islander to try for $6.50 before tax. The total came up to be almost $8, definitely way too expensive for boba in Norfolk, Va. This price is exceeding most boba places in NYC and SF, and the taste is no way close to it. Just go to KFT or GongCha if you are craving for boba. Service: 4/5 - Typical service like at any boba shops, but the staff that took my order at the counter was friendly and patient. She recommended the Islander and explain the types of toppings in it. I'd say she was a helpful employee for sure and everyone else was friendly too and all wearing a mask for safety. BLUF: A new boba place in Norfolk, VA. The logo is cute and definitely wanted to give it some love, but I find it to be pretty hard. I am glad I get to try out a new boba place, but I probably will not return again, maybe the food. Drinks were below average for the price they charged me. read more

Too bad you don't honor the special banh mi and boba for $7.97, yes it's expired so take it out of Yelp check in! Marigold tea is delicious! Will def come back to try other flavors. The combination banh mi came out warm, can't wait to try it when I get home. Wish they serve pastries as well! read more

This is our new favorite boba/fruit tea place in the area! We were introduced to this establishment from the previous Yelp Elite event and we do not regret it. It is a little farther from us compared to other spots but its worth the drive. They offer your usual boba tea offerings with an expanded range of toppings. However, their milk tea selection isn't as extensive as other places but maybe they want to keep it small so they offer the best quality. They could use another flavor or two :). But their fruit teas are delicious and refreshing as well. Another plus for this place is that they offer food such as different banh mi (subs) with different meats. They also have an "off-menu" which is interesting but we haven't tried it yet. My personal favorite is their Vietnamese coffee which is very strong but also sweet. This place is a gem in the Norfolk Tidewater area and we will continue to visit! read more

My sister and I wanted to get smoothies so I chose Tealux over the typical tropical smoothie cafe and smoothie king. I figured their smoothies would be cheaper and they were! Not sure how naturally they are made but I enjoyed my mango smoothie with cream cheese foam and my sister had no complaints regarding her matcha smoothie. read more

I will start this review off by speaking for my fellow Norfolk residents when I say that we are ecstatic that a restaurant that serves boba tea and Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches (more food choices coming soon) in an area outside of downtown or Ghent is a big plus for the city! Tealux Cafe has a sleek, modern interior decor. There is seating against both sides of the restaurant and in the center of the restaurant they have several table placed together with Jenga and Monopoly games for patrons to play. I ordered 2 grilled pork banh mi sandwiches and 1 jasmine passion fruit boba tea. The grilled pork banh mi sandwich was delicious. My only minor complaint is that the bread was not toasted when it arrived. Not a problem, I'll just ask for it to be toasted on my next visit. The jasmine passion fruit boba tea was delicious! I can't wait to try the different flavors of their fruit and milk teas that they offer. Ladies and gentlemen, I'll definitely be frequenting Tealux Cafe in the future. And I can't wait for the new food choices that they will add. read more

We were in the area for a YEE that was literally next door. Thanks to a friend who alerted us that Tealux was having their grand opening today, we were able to come to try it out. They were pretty busy, a good sign, and even though no signs were put up, we were able to distinguish the line to order and the line for pick up. They had a menu of their drinks at the counter. After eyeballing it I choose a Meadow tea with coconut jelly. My daughter orders the Tealux signature milk tea. My tea was amazing! The perfect blend of black tea, mango, and lemongrass with coconut jelly. I was very pleasantly surprised! I did have a taste of the Tealux Signature milk tea and it had a distinct cocoa taste with boba pearls. Honestly, I feel like the boba could have been a bit firmer. It felt a bit soft. Still, it was very good. I cannot wait to come here again when they start selling bites. I would love to try their Banh mi sandwiches. read more

KC IS THE GOAT VERY AMAZING DRINKS AND SERVICE Amazing Ambience and also food, and also amazing people workers are kind

Super exciting to have another boba place available! Congratulations on your grand opening! I ordered 5 drinks to get the free glass bottle! They don't have any size preference available. But fruity drinks are tall, and milk teas are short. Right off the bat I noticed how crowded their set up was. They had 10 people making drinks and running the register. Different females would be managing the register, switching each other out to make drinks. However as someone from California, growing up with 100 boba shops in one town. I applaud you for making the best boba syrup in probably the 7 cities of VA. Few recommendations would be: - have cup holders than can hold the smaller milk tea cups bc they only accommodate for the tall ones - have a menu board on the back or side. Outside isn't a bad idea either to give customers who are waiting outside a chance to review - using gloves when handling fruits. I saw multiple team members touching fruits, then handling the register and everything else behind the counter - call customers up once the ENTIRE order is completed. They kept calling up customers and the pick up area would be extremely crowded, making it impossible to get your drinks without someone else claiming they ordered the same thing read more

I'm not a huge boba fanatic but going forward I'll probably compare every boba place to this one! I ordered the Islander which has jasmine tea with passion fruit, mango and pineapple syrup- soooo yummy. It also included the popping boba which is strawberry, blueberry, peach & kiwi! The popping boba literally pops in your mouth with all those bursts of flavors, and it's small & soft! You can tell they make the boba fresh here, unlike other bobas I've had in the past where the boba had almost a tough texture. My only con about the drink was that there was so much ice I couldn't get to all the boba at the bottom. So if you're not a fan of ice, just ask for none, which I will remember to do next time. The ice is the reason I took a Star off. The menu had a lot of different combos that I've never seen before, which is why I'll probably compare every other place I try to this one! I'm not sure if they use real milk so if that bothers you, ask first. Tealux, please implement a rewards program! This is not far from my job so I see myself visiting here pretty regularly. Awesome tea, and I can't wait to try the next! read more

Really wanted to love this place, but they fell a little short just cause of this! This was actually my second time here, and the first time I left feeling pretty satisfied and was looking forward to explore their menu more (especially since not a lot of places seem to use jasmine tea like they do!). I asked to have no ice in my drink this time, and they really only gave me half a drink.... so you really are paying for half a cup of ice just like one other reviewer on here said lol. I didn't drink anything out of the cup in the picture, so that's what it looked like when they gave it to me. That aside though, this place is pretty nice, the drinks are not that bad, and the owner is very friendly as well. read more

Not too impressed. I prefer Domoishi. Drinks were just kind of bland. No flavor coming through the macaroons. They tasted kind of burnt and bitter like plastic. It was strange. People were nice, so that's always a plus. read more

Ending the weekend with Boba! We both decided we'd go the mango route so we went with the Man on the Go, which is jasmine tea and mango, and the Marigold, which just adds ginger and mango jelly. The Man on the Go was refreshing. The Marigold was solid and I especially enjoyed the mango jelly, which was fresh and yummy! We also decided on the Signature Milk Tea which just consists of black milk tea and tapioca pearls. He mentioned it was a pretty straightforward drink and that he enjoyed the freshness of the boba pearls. We also made sure to get some banh mi. After a long and hard thinking process, we decided on the special combination sandwich which contained all the cold cuts, grilled pork, and pate. The banh mi's flavor was a bit overwhelming but it had a pretty great taste overall. I'd love to give this place a great score, but they didn't have seat cushions (yet) when we went (we visibly saw another couple switch from the bench to chairs because it was like a rock) and the menu screens weren't up, but if you're in the area, definitely stop by! read more

The absolute BEST boba/bubble tea place we've been to. Service was excellent and quick.. The drinks aren't overly sweet like most places. They come with finely diced fresh fruit.

I wish the place was a bit warmer though I was chilly in there it didn't seem to bother anyone else though so that could totally be just me read more

The BEST boba in the area, hands down. I normally hate toppings but they really have fantastic boba here. If you like it chewy, this is the place. I went with the brown sugar oat boba that came with the brown sugar tapioca pearls, and they were great. My drink was at perfect sweetness level. My boyfriend got a delicious (no toppings) Vietnamese coffee (light blend) and thoroughly enjoyed it. He likes crushed ice and was a fan, but I prefer cubes since I don't like chewing on ice. I think the lack of boba and just slurping the ice interrupted my Vietnamese coffee experience, but the coffee flavor was perfect. Cute packaging, great service, and an option to just order from the screen instead of from a person is a nice touch. When I was in, the AC seems to be down since it was super hot in the shop, but I'm sure it's a nice place to chill, catch up, or play games with friends when it isn't hot inside as it is outside. I live too far to take visitors here, but this is the perfect boba spot to flaunt the 757's boba talent! It doesn't always have to be NoVA, (; read more

Tealux Cafe is one of my absolute favorite places to go every since it opened up. Firstly, we can talk about the service. Not only is it absolutely phenomenal from every individual I've seen in here, but they go out of their way to greet you. They go out of their way to help you when you have questions as well. Now, everyone's favorite, the food. While I've never tried the food, the drinks are where it's at. I've had multiple different combinations of the drinks. The Levithan, the Man On The Go, the Scarlet, and several others such as the signature Milk Tea, and the Jasmine Milk Tea. While those alone are delicious, they also have different kinds of jellies and other things. Coconut jelly and green apple jelly are some of my favorite, but I've had so many others. The popping peach is a classical favorite. I say this from the bottom of my heart, that everything here is delicious and spectacular. The drinks, the service, and even the calming decor with games on the table and real plants along the edges. This is definitely a place you need to see. read more

I absolutely loved this place! They were just amazing. My husband on the other hand was not as thrilled as I was but that's because he normally loves Taro Milk Bubble Tea and he did not like the one here. He said that the bubbles were not great and either was the Milk Tea. But for people like me who love Smoothies, this place is for you! I got a coconut smoothie with strawberry jelly because they were out of mango jelly but I fell in love! The jellies we're in the shape of a heart! I was just so in love with the place. It was totally for me! I only have it 4 stars and not 5 because most people do go to places like this for bubble tea and my husband said it's not the spot to get that. Other than that, 5 stars from me! read more

Refreshing is the best way I can describe the drinks and food! We came in for tea (2nd day in a row), but the beautiful smile of the woman cooking in the back caught our attention. The smell of the food and the crispy roll made us purchase the Bulgogi Sandwich. The pickled vegetables, the taste of the roll and the Korean BBQ beef hit the spot! The Black Jasmine Tea w/peach and lemon grass was so refreshing! Why drink a soda when you can have this? I digress, the smoothies and the Brown Sugar Milk Tea is different but in a crazy good way!

Definitely IG pic worthy. The employees were super nice and very helpful. I got the chicken banh mi and The Islander to drink. The sandwich was delicious, and got the special combination sandwich prior and it was very good as well. The drink was a little too sweet for my liking. My 8 year old son loved it of course. I will be returning to try different things read more
