14 Best Bubble Tea in Fairfax

“20240701 This place is interesting. The ordering station required me to log in, and I don't have an account, nor do I want one. The young lady at the counter was helpful and nice. She took my order. I got the red bean latte with 50% sugar and soymilk and red bean pancakes. The latte was perfect, and I wish the red bean pancakes were sweet. They have a noodle making machine! I have never seen one. I need to check it out next time. The cup that the latte comes in is pretty thick for disposable cup. It has a cute monkey on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't completely remove the plastic lid that was melted on. I tossed the cup.“

“My 4-month-old and I absolutely love this place. The ambiance, environment, and design are wonderfully spacious and kid-friendly. The top-notch food and drinks, especially the fresh sugar cane juice, are my personal favorites. My little one would probably agree if he could express it (maybe in a year). Overall, I'd rate this place 9.5/10. The only thing missing is an entertainment center or a selfie/promo spot for young adults, but they more than make up for it with their incredible drink.“

“Instant classic. It's super busy for a reason. Great drinks, the food is actually pretty phenomenal, which is a bit surprising. Great people, it's just really busy when it's peak hours. But the line goes by fast, it's worth it. I usually get 75% sugar, but it comes great either way.“

“long line but was worth it“

“ordered a taro milk tea with honey boba as a recommendation from the cashier and i wasn’t disappointed! it was so good and the service was so quick and fast. the drink took less then a minute to be made. All the workers had a smile on their faces. will be coming back!“

“100% recommended. Came here one hour before they closed because my friend wanted to try the Blended Milo, since no place seems to have the exact one in Vietnam. I got myself the egg cream milk tea. It turned out that they both tasted EXACTLY the same as the type of boba we had in Vietnam. We’ve been coming back every single week ever since then. Very sad to see that they’re pretty slow at night. Hope to see more and more people coming to support this small boba shop ?“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“Justin, you’re the best! Thank you your coworker too who made my drink whom I forgot to ask for his name. Look at how good it is. Tastes great obviously. You guys are wonderful! Seriously, any place would be lucky to have you both as part of their team with your great personality and service. Thanks again, and I hope you guys will get all the recognition that you deserve!“

“Favorite bubble tea place in the area. And I’ve been to almost all of them because I’m a bubble tea addict. I usually get the qq happy family, which has all my favorite toppings. Sometimes the wait is long, but that’s because a lot of other people like it, too!“

“This is my first time visiting Donutchew. I was drawn to it being that I'm a donut fiend. I've had freshly made, delicious mochi donuts before, so this definitely didn't compare. However, I love the decoration, the customer service and the extensive menu, which is the reason for the 4 stars.

I originally stopped by to eye the menu and plan my post-lunch coffee-time dessert. I let the barista know that I'll be returning but will order something simple. She suggested the cortado and I said yes immediately, and asked for iced. It was perfectly strong and not watered down. Fast forward a few hours, I returned as promised and she remembered me.

We decided to order 2 mochi donuts and a few drinks:

-chocolate and cinnamon/sugar donuts
-red velvet latte
-hazelnut latte
-regular latte

One thing to note is that she couldn't really describe the drinks. For example, I asked her if the red velvet latte tastes like chocolate or just sugary (since it's basically red-dyed chocolate) and she had no idea. I asked her what are the top drinks (besides what was shown on the board) and she couldn't answer that. But she was friendly.

The donuts tasted a little stale and the chocolate frosting was definitely a little too hard. The cinnamon toast crunch was a cute touch to the donut, but again was stale. I wasn't a fan of the red velvet latte, it was pure sugar and aside from the intense pink color didn't taste the way I expected a red velvet cake to taste (most likely because the cream cheese is important to the flavor).

The decoration and swag for purchase are all show-stoppers, perfect for photo ops or even social media. They have a cute little photo booth inside as well. There is plenty of seating available.

I can't say that I'd return as I'm not a big mall person and wasn't too terribly impressed with the donuts.“

“I appreciated how tiny the sample cups were, kawaii. The thing is though, the flavors were so strong is was probably the perfect amount for me to know what not to actually buy

Wheelchair accessibility: If you can get to the second floor, you can roll right in no problem“

“Loved that the lady split a drink in two for my girls.“

“Unique milk tea flavors (ie. Osmanthus rice)I have not seen elsewhere. Great taste and sweetness levels seem more accurate here than other places. (30% sweet is very light). Definitely recommend trying out. Will visit again if I’m in the area.“

“Our family has enjoyed East Wind for many years . It is authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The best service. Shrimp chips and sauce before you entre. Gets you ready for more“
