The Lakes Social

I was in the area for the DMV and needed my tea fix. Thanks to Yelp, my search for nearby tea brought me to this wonderful place! Megan the owner was there and so friendly and welcoming. I told her it was my first time in but did look over reviews and such. I wanted to try the blackberry mojito however that was a limited time drink and she didn't have the ingredients to make it. She suggested the berry sangria which was actually my second choice that I had coming here. She said it's one of their most popular drinks. So that's what I got. What I love about this place is that the teas are sugar free. They are sweetened with no calorie sweetener (Splenda). I can have my tea and not feel guilty. They do have boba however that does have sugar. Also the mega teas boost your metabolism and give you a gentle energy boost without the crash. They just celebrated their 1 year anniversary! This place is super cute and the berry sangria was DELICIOUS. I did think it was just a tad bit too sweet, tasted like kook aid! But it was delicious! I will definitely be back here and try other flavors.

This little shop's decor is absolutely adorable... It would get 5 stars for decor if didn't also order food. My daughter and I saw this cute place on Yelp which serves teas, coffee, shakes, pre- and post-gym workout drinks, and protein bowls and treats. When we arrived there was one young lady working and she already seemed overwhelmed. She was extremely apologetic and pleasant so we were happy to wait.We ordered açai bowls, which were pretty expensive at $12 each. We love açai bowls and have tried them wherever we go. These bowls were primarily water. The açai mixture was cold, pale-colored, and bland, an icy mixture which was soupy as soon as we say down to eat them. This might've been tolerable had there been a sufficient amount of other ingredients. There were a few slices of strawberry, maybe a little crushed pineapple, a little granola, no bananas, no other fruit. There were chia seeds and a small amount of coconut flakes, but nothing redeeming about these expensive bowls. We ate what we could and left hungry. We didn't bring them back as the young lady was so busy and overwhelmed. I think that the owner needs to review the preparation of this bowl with the staff and be sure that there is actually fruit or reduce the prices accordingly. Also, there needs to be adequate help and if a bowl looks puny and watery then the staff should know to not serve it. It was an adorable shop. Hopefully they can remedy their issues.

A Land O Lakes gem! I have been looking for healthy options and this is right on my doorstep, the service is great, you can tell the staff is passionate about what they do and that passion translates to everything on their menu. I love the vibe of the place as well! Great spot!!

What a hidden gem! Awesome atmosphere. Super cute and trendy decor. I went during a vendor pop-up market so it was definitely busy but all the better for them. We were able to order two Mega Teas (Tampa Bay Bucs and Berry Sangria) which were both really good. They were making waffles nonstop and they smelled delicious! We didn't get a chance to chat with the owners since it was so busy but they were greeting guests and they arrived and overall had a great atmosphere. They also offer free fit camps on Saturday mornings. This is definitely a kid friendly cafe and they even had a kids area with some toys for them to play with. Plenty of parking available. Very clean cafe. Bar seating and table seating available.

Literally obsessed with this little spot!! I'm a sweet junkie and the protein donuts help keep me in check and feed my sweet tooth! The owners are both so sweet and I always feel welcome coming here. The Mega teas are delicious too and full of tons of different flavors to enjoy.

Really cute decor. Feels very clean and modern. Delicious teas and great flavors!!I had the bomb pop, and it was so refreshing and delicious!!

It's a pleasant setting an the staff are very friendly. That said, I found it over-priced for what I received. I had the bananas foster protein waffle - I'm not sure how a protein waffle affects the overall texture of a waffle, so maybe it's my inexperience with the product. I expect my waffles to be crispy on the outside and thoroughly cooked interiors. This waffle was not like that, it felt under-done. But $19.. for a waffle, about 1/3rd of a banana and a tea seems exorbitant to me. I'd go back for a tea, but I wouldn't eat breakfast there again.
