“I came in late as they were closing and I made sure they would still be okay to make a drink and they kindly said yes. I kept it simple, coconut milk tea with regular boba. Didn't have too much coconut flavor so I may ask for more next time but boba was generous and it wasn't loaded down with ice. The two team members working were apologetic as they had a large order ahead of mine that they were both working on (didn't bother me, I'm in the industry I know how it can be). It all seems to be scratch made as well. I will definitely come back.“
“I have no idea why the reviews are so low! My daughter and I love to go there for special occasions and enjoy their wonderful tea and boba! I really like the house milk tea, 50% sweet with honey boba, my daughter likes the brown sugar one, 75% sweet with honey boba as well. The prices are also very reasonable and non-expensive; yesterday we got two teas for just $13!“
“Best ice cream shop in the DMV area! Absolutely love their Lychee gelato!! Love the atmosphere and the owner is super friendly and nice, he kept the place open well after 9 to serve us. Genuinely great place with awesome service with fresh ice cream.“
“I was there today and the costumer service is great the people who works there are really friendly and nice.I’d order a mango slush and it was very refreshing and good.I definitely will come back thank you John and Mary for your service☺️“
“This is one of my favorite boba places around fairfax.Really love the ambiance and they are open late at night.I have tried thai milk tea, Vietnamese coffee and Cherry blossom drink.Everything was delicious. They have place to hangout and can spend time with friends.They are not just a boba place. They do have food to eat.“
“Teaism is a well-known teahouse brand with four shops in Washington, DC. I prefer the one in Dupont Circle because it has a cozy and homely feel, especially the upstairs dining area with windows overlooking the street. The place has an Asian-inspired decor and offers quality teas, all-day breakfast, bento boxes, light Japanese and Thai-style meals, and some snacks such as cookies and Asian-inspired desserts like matcha gelato, jasmine creme brulee, and mochi.We ordered salmon and Korean Beef Brisket bento sets, which tasted amazing. The salads that came with them added crunchiness to the food. The mochi had the expected texture and taste. It's a self-service establishment, so there is little to discuss about the service.“
“I've been wanting to try this place out for months. So glad I did. I picked up a mango and a lemon mochi donut. The texture makes them lighter and more chewy than a standard doughnut. Nice place to stop by for bubble-boba tea and a mochi donut. Decor inside is adorable.“
“I had the pleasure of trying Messy Taro Latte and it’s safe to say, I’ve found a new favorite. From the first sip to the last, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and flavor of this beverage.Vegetarian options: Lots of optionsDietary restrictions: Lots of optionsParking: Lots of parking available“

“Great, friendly service! I had a lot of questions about the food and they answered patiently. Food was sooo good. My first Bing impressions: delightful and satisfying. Rose milk tea was divine as well. Looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for a great experience.“
“I know rating the place 5 stars seems too good to be true, but I’ve been going to this donutchew since they opened last year and it’s really become one of my favorite places to go. The staff are super friendly and really care about the place, the food is super tasty and the drinks are my end of week treat after a long week of work. My personal favs are the mango and early grey donuts (when they have the early grey, they have some flavors on rotation every week). The tea is very tasty, black milk tea or the orange fruit tea are my go-tos, and the corn dogs hit the spot when you really need it. I’ve spent hours sitting in there and studying as I eat and drink, and I’ve never felt awkward even when I’m the only one in the store. Many outlets for laptops, always seating available. Very chill atmosphere to those looking for a small space to get some work done. I always take my friends here and recommend it to everyone!!“
“So happy to have a quality boba place close by and not connected to the mall! The location is super convenient and easy to get to. The staff is incredible and the drinks are delicious. The vibe of the shop is so good. I have tried a variety of drinks and have yet to have a bad one. I love how you can customize absolutely everything. 5 stars for BoBaPoP Tea Bar!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Bubble Mochi is really good. I like the chocolate donut and mango yogurt smoothies. Servers were energetic and smiling. Also, they have some cute squishmellos for sale. The decor inside bubble mochi is really cute, and reminds me of a coffee shop in Tokyo,“
“It was my first time trying Korean style shaved ice dessert. It comes in flavors and a variety of toppings + the condensed milk drizzle at the end. I ordered half taro half milk tea with custard pudding, honey boba, and mochi. It was very refreshing and delicious with the right level of sweetness. Will definitely go again.“
“I had their brown sugars, Zhang , Zhang , special Boba and I give it five out of five stars. My favorite brown sugar Boba is from Tiger Sugar, and I would say that this one might be even better. The Boba itself is nice and chewy and the drink is very creamy. Will be coming here again. Next time I'm in Georgetown to try out more of their flavors.“
“Easy five stars. There is so much passion in this little place. It feels like a home cooked meal. Pretty much is. The owner is so kind and welcoming. It's a glimpse of what I wish more businesses were like, with charm, quality, and love of the craft of tea making and food. It's a cute little place with lots of personality. I can see this place becoming very popular.“
“Tried the New Orleans Style Coffee Milk Tea and I liked it. It was a unique combination, mixing coffee and milk tea, which offered a refreshing change from the usual boba flavors. I also appreciated their everyday promotion of Buy 4, Get 1 free. They tend to give a bit more ice than other places, so keep that in mind.“
“This is a great place to relax and enjoy some Asian-inspired beverages, desserts, macaroons, and other snacks. The interior is clean and pleasant, with minimalist decor and light wood furniture, providing a view of the parking lot. Seating options are limited inside so that it can fill up quickly. The staff is generally friendly, and they serve your order quickly. I am happy that more dessert options like this are available in the area.“
“Outstanding quality of ingredients makes Bengong a cut high above all other tea shops I’ve been to. They use real milk. They actually have real tea in the taro milk tea (most shops don’t m), etc. The quality of the ingredients becomes immediately obvious when you taste it. Also, the cost is basically the same as the regular tea shops anyways, so you’re getting way more bang for your buck.“
“It's a bubble tea place, not much else to say. Practically speaking I believe it to be the best in the area, and also one of the better deals too. They have some food options too but I haven't sampled any of them. They are open late which is nice for a late night treat / hangout. The shopping center it's in gets busy at all hours so sometimes parking can be annoying, but I've never not found a spot.“
“Solid quality milk teas - definitely a step above other milk tea shops in terms of quality of the tea and the creamer. You can taste the tea well, and the creamer they use (the "milk" part of the milk tea) smoothly integrates with the tea. Highly recommend the roasted oolong milk tea and the jasmine milk tea - really fragrant tasting. Also recommend 30% for both sugar and ice.“
“Best Thai restaurant in Falls Church by far. The food is always warm and prepared deliciously. When dining in, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the hosts are very attentive and kind. Never had any issues with ordering online either. I recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing Thai food in NoVA.“
“I loooove bubba tea. Came to this location in Ballston Quarter. I always get the Taro Milk Tea at any bobba tea shop and this time was no different. The drink was not overly too sweet, it was just right. I enjoyed this drink. Would be back here when I'm in the area.“
“This spot was a lovely treat at the end of a long day. Good selection of flavors and toppings. Neat and clean, with good customer service.Vegetarian options: It's Yogurt!Dietary restrictions: Low Sugar, Low Calorie optionsKid-friendliness: Kids would love it“
“Solid service, great drinks, I'm in here at least twice a week. I think their boba are about the best in the area, they're usually very fresh. When they didn't have something I ordered on the app once, the young man working the counter went out of his way to make me something I'd like as an alternative. My only complaint is how expensive they are.“
“I'm only going to review this place for the Bubble Tea section so this is strictly for Bee's & Tea. I don't think there's a listing for it but it's inside and you order at the bar. Very interesting concept but it works. Overall, since it's inside Asia Bistro, you'll see tables for diners and lots of cool modern asian decor. Even walking in has a small fountain that is the first thing you'll see. The bar itself has the entire menu of what you could order Boba wise but you could also order alcohol too. There's many options to pick honestly. I got the Strawberry Blush drink. It's black tea that's lightly sweetened with strawberry puree with strawberry heart jelly. It's really cute! I think I should have opted to order Boba instead because the jelly takes an effort to drink through the straw. I don't really have much to say but it's boba, lots of different teas to pick from ranging from Milk/Fruit/Thai Tea/Coffee, ect with many toppings.. Can't go wrong with a nice drink after food.“
“I have ordered from her multiple times. Fast service, milk tea teas are good, and the tapioca pearls are nice and chewy. My personal favorite is the taro but all of them are good.I'm giving 4 stars since when I went one day at 8:20(40 minutes before closing) it seemed that they were already closed.“
“Gong Cha is the OG and there's a reason they're everywhere! Lots of flavor selections, quick service, and good tasting bubble tea. Ordering with the kiosk can be a bit weird because for some reason you can't change sugar or ice level on some drinks, but if you order at the counter the staff can make those modifications for you. I ordered a classic - dirty brown sugar milk tea with boba. The boba was excellent! Not super chewy, but not hard either. Went down easily and tasted great. The brown sugar milk tea tasted like brown sugar, not much to speak on there. Will be here whenever I'm in Rosslyn and have a hankering for bubble tea.“
“I got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken dish and was surprised with how generous the portion is compared to other establishments I've been to. Food was served hot, we dined in and waited a little bit. Boba was pretty good. I'll definitely come back when I'm craving some popcorn chicken.“
“Really adorable and fun decor! I can only speak for the bubble tea which is great- not the food which I've yet to try. It's a little expensive but the drinks are worth it. My only complaint is that one cashier in this location was rude to me once, made a strange comment, although I think he left. Watch the customer service. Otherwise I'd totally recommend it and go back.“
“I am a little late to this review, but I love everything about this place, honestly! Their drinks are fresh, have a positive atmosphere, and food creativity is excellent! The recent new drink Wake up in the blue sky ? If you are lactose intolerant, not the drink for you, but definitely ask their staff for recommendations as their menu will have something fit for you.“
“This place is a milk tea store with a Jamaican restaurant combined run by two different owner.I never had Jamaican food before, but maybe in the future.The milk tea is really good, i had their classic tomtom milk tea, it has lots of toppings stuffed inside, mango jelly,egg pudding and apple popping boba, also other stuff i don't remember the name.It was amazing, definitely will try again and recommend to other.“
“Great little boba, drink and pastry shop. I've only had the bubble tea and it's always been great. The workers are kind as well. Just know that they put a lot of sugar, to the point that at 100% sugar all the flavors taste basically the same. Aside from that, it's a great place that I would recommend (and takes GWorld!)“
“**updated**Still the best! I love going to crystal city because of this place. I only go to crystal city for this place. Open on weekends again!*****The best bubble tea in the DMV! All the flavors are great and the owner is really awesome. 10/10! I will miss this shop when I leave Crystal City. One of the few surviving shops in the Crystal City Undergroundtoo.“
“One tip! This place is underground down a set of stairs! Other than that it is simple to find! Their atmosphere is super friendly they have sitting tables Japanese style and a grass wall. Their boba drinks are really good! They are on the sweeter side and a good size!“
“Love that the drinks here are not too overly sweet. My go to drink here is the Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea. You get that unique black tea, milkiness, and slightly sweet brown sugar. The pearls are always the right consistency! Always quick and friendly service.“
“Hidden Gem!!I’m not sure how I missed this place for all these years — when I live just across!Such a great bubble tea place, with soo many options- and the cheese foam is just Fire! Yum!If you haven’t already yet tried them, run!! Don’t walk- because this place is ?“
“Poki DC is a good place to have salads meals combo with shakes and smoothies. The quality of foods and quantity of a single serving is good. It's good enough doe a single person's appetite. The veggies and meats are fresh. Shakes too are quite exotic, good looking and good in taste as well.“
“WOAH. Bubble tea lovers, go to TeaDM Plus NOW!!!!!! I went for the first time and got the buy 4 get 1 free, and the same my second time around. Service is so nice, the workers are so super friendly (I'm a teenager, take that into account adults haha!) and the drinks only took about 2 minutes per drink!! Less when there weren't as many people there. The atmosphere is so awesome, it's like a night club haha. I will say, if you're going to go study or planning to sit down here, go on a weekday before schools and work get out. It's get so busy!!! “
“Two words: oolong softserve. Don't walk. Run and get it now.Seriously, move over matcha ice cream. There's a new sheriff in town. And that sheriff's name is tieguanyin ice cream.We had no expectations and didn't see it on the menu. But on the wall behind the display was a picture. Taking a risk we ordered the ice cream.Order it with brown sugar boba at the bottom. The first bite hits you with a solid tea flavor that is so well balanced. A little sweet, a little nutty, full tea flavor.BAM!Taste buds swoon. We demolished that ice cream. TKO.Hasta la vista baby. We'll be back.Kid-friendliness: Very spacious and it seemed family friendly. There are high tables and low tables which are well suited for young people. There are also a set of Jenga and Domino's. We brought a 1-year-old and a 6-year-old, both of whom had a blast.“
“Upon entering the store if very small but very cozy. I ordered their Bubble Milk Tea and Rose Milk tea. it was good, pretty sweet but their flavor was lacking a little for my taste but their boba was good and I liked it relative to the other options at the mall.“

“This is a stall in the middle of the food court on the top level of the mall (where AMC) is. It's in the middle of the seating area, not along the back wall. I had a Croffle from here, although I cannot remember which one exactly but it was delicious. They only had one person working there at the time so I had to wait but not a very long time. Service to order was quick and easy.“

“First coming here I was a bit stressed from the day and ordered my usual, a black milk tea with extra boba. The tea was sweet but not overpowered with the milk inside. They didn't use powdered milk, they used regular but in their options menu they could change out the type of milk if you asked. ( almond, etc) The drink came out fast. I sat down and it was already done which was quite nice. So I was able to sit down and truly enjoy the drink for a bit. The place itself was small but comfortable, with things to look at in every turn. I went down to the back hall and was greeted by the many artworks or phrases on walls from other customers. I had time to kill so I took some time to add in my own touch and although they only had two markers at the moment, they took the time to look around to see if they had any others with me asking. It was a very nice experience and I truly enjoyed it. It certainly made me less stressed. I would come back here again. :)“
“I come here at least once a week, I really like how cozy and clean the cafe is. I also really like their drinks, my favorite drinks are the tiramisu boba milk tea and the osmanthus rice milk tea. I notice they have a variety of tea options, and they only use lactose free milk which is nice for people who have lactose intolerant.“
“This is my go-to bubble tea spot. They always have a flavor that's right for the occasion, whether I need the caffeine of Thai tea or something fruity and light, and I love that I can get extra boba (the black tapioca has just the right chew). Their mango sticky rice is also really delicious; they know how to pick the mangoes.“
“Nice placeI couldn't find it at the beginning! But then I noticed it.You order through the screen and I like that you can control the sugar and everything big in your drink !It was nice quick and neatMy son loved it .Prices in an averageStaff where all young and niceLess space for setting!“
“It's a cute little shop serving different drinks and other treats. Personally the frozen yogurt was okay and sorta tasted like yoplait yogurt which brought me back to my childhood. I personally really liked the lychee jelly's and mango poppers.“
“Adorable bakery stall tucked in the corner of K Market's food hall featuring mochi donuts, macaroons, and croffles in a variety of flavors! Starting with their namesake, the mochi donuts are certainly chewy and have the delightfully springy, QQ texture that makes these donuts so special. They have a ton of flavors, but my favorites have to be the black sesame and yogurt. Although the black sesame frosting is a touch on the sweeter side, it's packed with a ton of black sesame flavor. They also sprinkled on a few full sesame seeds for a bit of texture, visual interest, and extra nuttiness. The yogurt mochi donut is also delicious -- the slightly tangy yogurt helps to balance out the sweetness of the donut / frosting. It's an otherwise pretty simple donut, so it's perfect for when you're looking for a simpler, cleaner flavor profile that still has a bit of a twist.We also tried their matcha, ube, and churro flavors, which were tasty but didn't stand out quite as much as the others. The matcha was a bit too sweet, the ube was lacking in ube flavor, and the churro only had a hint of cinnamon. Even so, all of their mochi donuts were phenomenal -- they achieved the perfect texture (and I'm sure they'll be even better when fresh and warm), and they're not overly sweet.We haven't had a chance to try their croffles yet, but I'm not a huge fan of their macaroons -- there's a bit too much filling, and they don't have a ton of flavor, so it ends up feeling a bit plain. After our success with their black sesame donut, I decided to give their black sesame macaroon a shot, but it didn't have the same nuttiness as the donut version.All in all, delightful stall if you're looking for a sweet treat as you wander the aisles of K Market! I love their mochi donuts, but will probably skip the macaroons next time.“
“Sharing a Gong Cha restaurant located on Annandale Virginia Street near Route 236. The restaurant is beautiful but some people say the prices are a bit high.The drinks at this restaurant are delicious, it's a bit crowded on weekends and during peak hours, needless to say. Wait and wait!!!Convenient because the shop is located near Avenue 495, about 2 minutes to the shop. But for those who like milk tea, this is also a place to visit if it is convenient to go to Washington DC and Virginia near the Vietnamese center of EDEN.“

“This is the best Chè you can have in the area. It tastes great and there are many colourful and delicious options you can choose from. Personally, my favourite is the Fruit Addict. I also suggest you try the pandan waffle too, it’s pretty good. This is way better than boba tea at the same price and you definitely should give this a try!“
“I can highly recommend this place for bubble tea! Apart from having a good variety among the classics and great customization options, it’s clean and very cozy. It has fussball and old school gaming stations such as Pac-Man and NBA jam. I have been going here multiple times and it’s a great hang out spot where teenagers, young adults, and families like to go.“
