One of the best Bubble tea I had. On my trip to Richmond my sister suggested this place and in the trip of four days I have visited twice to grab the tea. The cakes are delicious too. We have visited as a group of 11 members including kids and we tried almost everything here. Even though our group is large the staff has accommodated us well and patiently delivered all orders on time.

Overall clean and aesthetic place, but the okinawa brown sugar milk tea, which was their best flavor by far, has been discontinued unfortunately

I ordered a piece of the strawberry chocolate cake and was underwhelmed. It was much smaller than it looked in pics and overall was lacking in flavor.

Stumbled into this place after attending an event at a neighboring restaurant. I got the boba brown sugar cake shake and it was the *most amazing* boba drink I've ever had. It was sweet and creamy and the cake topping was smooth and sweet and foamy. They boba were squishy and chewy and you could actually TASTE the brown sugar flavor in them which I loved, bc I'm *picky* about boba. Nothing worse than a flavorless ball of nothing. After dreaming about this drink literally all week, l returned on Sunday afternoon with my partner. I got the same exact drink but it was nasty this time. (A different person was working, which is likely why, but It was still disappointing.) I only finished it bc I paid for it, but it just was not good. The boba were HARD and when you bit into them, you could see the lack of moisture in the middle. My partner got the pineapple passion fruit tea and liked it, aside from the boba being too hard. They have a gorgeous selection of baked goods, so I also tried the french cheesecake. It was...different. Less rich and way less sweet than your average cheesecake. You can really taste the cheese aspect. Not for me. This place is like a 20 minute drive for me, so I doubt I'll ever go out of my way to come here again.

I love brecotea and always go to the one in the Publix shopping center... decided to try this one and i will not be going again, bad customer service

I tried Brecotea after discovering it on Instagram, and the location is right on W Broad. Once I walked in, I was super amazed by how bright it was inside and the placement of the baked items. They had a glass wall displaying baked goods resembling a bookcase almost! They offered a variety from sweets like almond croissants to savory like chicken curry buns. I chose a garlic cheese bread (forgot the name) and a chocolatey bread bun. Prices were reasonable. The garlic cheese bread was soft and garlicky, though could use more cheese. The chocolate bun was pillowy soft, not overly sweet, but it surprised me with chocolate filling. Overall, a great experience, and I look forward to trying more! Just be aware it gets crowded, so finding a table might be tough.

Brown sugar milk cake shake is fireeeee! Sweet but not too sweet! Best boba I've ever had! Just an FYI this location doesn't have pastry options like the new location by publix. They do have cheese cake and other cold desserts though!
This place was such a cute find in the area. I needed a place to study that was not Starbucks and this place was it. The music they play is relaxing and it's pretty so it's comfortable to study in. I did not try the baked goods but wow they looked so amazing if I wanted to indulge I would come here. I had a jasmine milk green tea (hot) and it was not too sweet which I like. The service was nice too and they make everyone feel welcomed by always saying hi when you walk through the door. I didn't rate it a 5 star because I think it's annoying when you find such a cute place that has strawberry, mango etc flavors and they're just fake syrups. However I can't expect real syrups from much places.

Great Customer Service and always something special that will make you smile. The prices are about on range for the location and the variety is always changing.

Amazingly delicious and masterfully made pastries. The location is spotless and the staff was friendly. The food is the best reason to visit though as the pastries are some of the best I’ve ever had.

I visited Brecotea a couple of weeks ago and since then I have already placed a delivery order and sang its praise to everyone. They truly swept me off my feet, not just with delightful concoctions but also with a heartwarming ambiance. Brecotea won me over with delectable offerings and left me in awe of the enchanting atmosphere. Brecotea's cozy haven is a perfect spot for events and fashion shows. Intimate and inviting ambiance transforms it into an ideal venue for various occasions. Decor embraces you, creating an environment that elevates the entire experience. Charming decor, and staff trio, led by dynamic Ariel, knew every product and exuded passion, making the whole experience memorable. Impressed by youthful enthusiasm radiating from the team. When young minds take ownership, magic happens, and at Brecotea, they've truly harnessed that vibrant energy. Knowledgeable staff not only demonstrated familiarity with every product but also exuded a passion that resonated throughout the establishment, rare these days.What captivated me was contagious enthusiasm emanating from the youthful team. Witnessing these individuals take ownership and infuse their energy into Brecotea was nothing short of magical. Sincere advice to owners: let these rising stars shine – their commitment is a testament to the potential for sustained success.
Now, let's delve into gastronomic delights that left an indelible mark on my taste buds. Recommendations by crew were nothing short of culinary brilliance – from velvety custard to ethereal macaroons and boba tea-inspired smoothie, each choice was a revelation. It's the macaroons that truly stole the show. Allow me to emphasize – these are, without a doubt, the finest macaroons I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, and my culinary journey has been extensive.
Heartbroken over multiple locations because services and offerings almost always denigrate immediately. Personally, perfect your vision then spread out, but what do I know lol. Why not develop the existing locations? Which is One of my biggest pet peeves. Also, where's your IG presence? Let the young people promote the store they represent, invite some local bloggers. Open your spot for salsa night, the sky's the limit! Just some free ideas, hit me up when you franchise, lol.
Y'all got to try those dern crack-macrons! Don't take it from me, go check them out! I had the @we_hangryaf crew
try the macarons and custard, and they left me nothing.
Please consider sharing the recipe with me, I promise I won't tell, lol#BrecoteaDelight #HiddenGemDiscovery #DoubleJoyLocation #CozyCharm #ArielAndTheTribe #YouthfulEnthusiasm #MagicalAmbiance #BrecoteaMagic #FoodieHeaven #MacaroonMasters #CustardCrush #BobaBliss #EventElegance #FashionShowFiesta #YelpEliteEats #RVAFoodieApproved #YELPEliteApproved #CozyCharm #ArielAndTheTribe #YouthfulEnthusiasm #MagicalAmbiance #BrecoteaMagic #FoodieHeaven #MacaroonMasters #CustardCrush #BobaBliss #EventElegance #FashionShowFiesta #YelpEliteEats
