Secret Garden

The drinks were well made with a great flavor profile. I have the mango fruit tea (green tea) it was very good and I could taste the green tea base. My husband had the strawberry milk tea, he is lactose intolerant so seeing how clear the menu was about caffine and dairy offerings was nice. The shop was clean and spacious.

What a great shop right in Merchant's square in Colonial Williamsburg! They serve coffee, tea, ice cream, bubble teas, milk teas, and lemonade! I might be missing some of their drink options but I am sure you will be able to find something that you enjoy! The gentleman behind the counter was kind and patient as I took some time to figure out what I wanted. My drink which was a peach oolong tea with strawberry jelly beads was delicious. Lots of seating inside and free WiFi. Plenty of natural sunlight coming in as well. Would be a great place to do some work!

huge cafe for boba - right in Merchant Square. ordered four different drinks - two were loved, the other two - bit too sweet. Should have asked for less sweet (had to water down to finish) - would have been nice if server prompted for sweetness level.free wiFi - would be nice spot for W&M students to plop down and study - tons of space, no crowds when we were there on warm Saturday.

Food - 3.5 service - 5 ambiance- 4Prob more like a 3.5. But 4 is generous. I got the coconut milk tea with mango jelly and milk foam. Light ice and "less sugar". It was okay. I wish I tried the coconut slush instead. It wasn't cold enough. Even if it's light ice it should still be cold and there were maybe two ice cubes. And they melted right away. The coconut was a powder base and tasted a little artificial. The mango jelly was yummy. It was "less sugar" but was a little sweeter than I felt it should be. It wasn't bad but it wasn't one of my top boba places. The menu was a little sparse as well. It is located in a cute area of Williamsburg, the old town area and the parking is not that difficult. Cute enough inside with decent seating area, I would go again if my boba tea mood strikes and I am in the area. Seems like there's not a lot of similar places nearby.

Very nice servers but the boba pearls in the tea were hard. Next time I would get something without boba. The ambiance was nice for studying or talking to a friend

It's milk tea. There are no other options around here. It is basic but decent so if you need a milk tea now, this is going to be it!

Secret Garden is such an adorable little boba shop in Merchant Square! I tried the peach black tea with strawberry popping boba, which is my go-to at most boba places. It was subtly sweet with a hint of floral undertones, and was a very refreshing beverage to beat the Virginia heat (and it of course made for some great Instagram photos!). I ordered a "medium," which was around $5 and a pretty small portion, but it was worth it to satisfy my boba craving. Secret Garden also offers an array of sweets like ice cream, dessert waffles, and coffee concoctions. Finally, the two employees were so sweet and friendly and W&M students get 10% off!

the secret garden cafe had such a welcoming atmosphere! the staff was friendly and helpful, which initially gave me high hopes because my partner and i are big boba fans.we ordered a frozen mango milk tea and an oolong milk tea, both with tapioca bubbles. the presentation was beautiful - the drinks looked picture-perfect! however, upon taking our first sip, we noticed that the tapioca bubbles weren't fully cooked . instead of the usual smooth, chewy texture, they were a bit hard and rough.unfortunately, we weren't satisfied with the drinks and ended up not finishing them. while the experience wasn't ideal, we wouldn't completely write off the secret garden cafe. the positive aspects like the friendly service and beautiful presentation encourage us to give them another chance in the future. however, we'd definitely emphasize the importance of fully cooked tapioca bubbles when ordering again.

Came here to cowork with the wonderful Coastal Virginia CM, Yoonie. This boba, ice cream, tea, and juice bar is so cute!***LOCATION***Located right outside of William & Mary, this shop is awesome. There is parking right next to the building or a pay to park parking lot across the street. The first two hours in the lot are free. ***EXPERIENCE***We ordered the lychee oolong tea and the matcha milk tea with crystal boba and mango. My lychee oolong tea tasted just like fresh lychee! I will say it's brewed on the stronger side, so was a bit more bitter than I was hoping, but it was really refreshing. This is a wonderful spot to get some work done. They have strong wifi and lots of outlets. I appreciate the natural lighting in this space.***PRICE***Depending on what type and size of drink you get, prices range from $5-8.***BATHROOM***This spot shares a bigger building with other businesses. There isn't a bathroom in the actual Secret Garden space, but if you exit through their bigger building, you can find Women and Men restrooms not too far away. There are a few stalls in the Womens.***CONCLUSION***There is an extensive list of things you can order here! There is something for everyone. It's a great spot to meet up with a friend and get some work done.

The best brown sugar boba we've ever had. I think the milk might be frothed but whatever they do, it's a game changer. Highly recommend. You will probably need insulin afterward.
