The Whale Tea

My husband and I are big fans of boba tea, and The Whale Tea has quickly become one of our favorite spots in Virginia Beach. The boba is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The shop itself is spotless, well-organized, and inviting.The customer service is excellent--friendly and efficient. We've tried a variety of drinks, including the Brown Sugar Tea, Thai Milk Tea, Mango Fruit Tea, Grapefruit Fruit Tea, and Lychee Fruit Tea, and every single one has been fantastic.If you're looking for consistently great boba and a pleasant experience, I highly recommend The Whale Tea!

I was super excited to stop by the new, The Whale Tea location since it's not too far from my house. With the weather getting warmer, I was craving a refreshing, fruit drink so I figured it would be the perfect spot to get one. As soon as I walked in, I noticed the "New Drink" sign so I figured why not try one out. The new drinks were the Mango Pomelo and Strawberry Pomelo. Since the Strawberry Pomelo caught my attention, I asked how it's made and was told that it had a smoothie-like texture so I was sold lol. There were 3 people ahead of me waiting for their orders and it took 10 mins for them to prepare my drink. The Strawberry Pomelo was really good though. It had chunks of pomelo at the bottom and it wasn't super sweet at all.I will definitely be returning but I hope the wait time improves a bit. I noticed that they have a new arrival of corn dogs which will be a great addition to the menu. They do offer macarons, tiramisu and other items as well as their drinks. Definitely stop in and check them out!!!

It's finally open!!!! So happy to have real boba down the street from my house. We came on opening day and they were offering specials for their grand opening! We ordered lychee slush, strawberry slush, matcha and fresh mango milk. Everything was delicious and the boba was cooked perfectly - soft and still chewy. The flavors were perfect and not too sweet. You do have the option to choose your sweetness, ice and toppings. The space is beautiful with lots of tables to sit and enjoy your drink. We will definitely be here often so I went ahead and signed up for their free membership to get some perks. The staff is friendly and welcoming so be sure to drop by for some fresh boba drinks!!

The new location for the 2nd store is close to my house so I came had the seasonal drinks Mongo pomelo and strawberry mongo pomelo I like the left one much better I let the strawberry sit too long so it separated so drinking that slow. I haven't been to the first location for a few months which was summer of 2023 been to e-mart, but time wise was no good for me since it open later I always go during 8am.Inside was pretty clean and spacious, service was friendly and helpful. Was asked if I needed a bag for my drinks...I think the drinks wouldn't be good in the bag since my drinks had the bear lid with a hole so I was decline the bag. I will go next time to get the fruit tea that I have not tried yet.

The Whale Tea is a splendid addition to the small shopping center on Nimmo Parkway adjacent to Red Mill Commons. The store adds more culinary and culture variety to the now sprawling utopia that is southeastern Virginia Beach. I tried the brown sugar milk tea with boba and it was delicious. I had it with only 30% sugar and was still able to enjoy the drink. They have a plethora of different tea options so I'm excited to go back and try different flavors.

Great service. This is right by my house. I'm so excited they are so close. I'm already a fan. Staff is so friendly. You can tell they are excited to have a new store open. Inside nice and clean with plenty of seating. I got the classic brown sugar milk tea. Yummmmm. Put perfect amount of sugar and perfect amount of ice.

By far some of the best boba tea I've had. Got the jasmine foam tea to which I slurped down so quickly!! Crew was in good spirits despite having a big order of around 10 drinks. Visiting from out of town so appreciate the hospitality!

Yum! The boba was so fresh it was still warm in my cup! The crème brûlée brown sugar milk tea was such a classic taste and sweet enough for me! (And I like sweet) the mango fresh milk milk tea was really good as well! The cups are sooo cute and the staff is quick and friendly.

The Whale Tea, a small Boba shop, impressed with its cleanliness, peaceful ambiance, and welcoming staff. Prices were reasonable for Boba. I indulged in the crème brûlée brown sugar Boba, milk foam grape tea, and strawberry slush--all delightful. While brown sugar remains my top choice, I'm eagerly anticipating exploring more flavors at Whale Tea.

Welcome to the Redmill area! My girls and I stopped by and enjoyed our visit. Peter was very friendly and helpful. They offer self checkout kiosks to help with a smooth checkout. I had a few questions about the menu and the staff was very helpful - no attitudes. We ordered two slush drinks and two milk teas. Overall, we enjoyed the milk teas however the slush drinks were average - my daughter preferred the mango slush from Tealuxe. Happy to see a boba shop in the area. We'll be back for sure!
