Whale Tea

The service is fantastic, Great customer service and very polite! Definitely coming back again sometime soon!

I had to come check out The Whale Tea in Virginia Beach if only for the adorable Smiley Egg Waffles!!The service was wonderful and fun to watch them make the waffles and fruit tea. You order on a self-serve kiosk which may take a little bit to find what you're looking for, but it's easy enough. Next visit to the beach in stopping in

Whale Tea is conveniently situated in the same center as E-mart. I really enjoy their freshly brewed teas and the fresh ingredients they use unlike the powdery concoctions that most boba shops use. You can tell that the drinks are high quality.My go-to there is the taro fresh milk (I know, not tea, but I love it), with no boba. This drink uses real, cooked taro, mixed with sugar and milk. It's a bit gritty due to the nature of taro but this drink just does it for me! It's also very filling. I have tried their fresh teas like pineapple and grapefruit. They garnish with the corresponding fruit and they are very refreshing.For bites, I've had their cute little egg waffles and they are a delight, both to look at and to eat! One thing though, they do take some time to make, so be patient! The batter is egg-y and they have a choice of cheese or chocolate. Both really good! Ordering is super easy with kiosks for self-ordering. You can pick your size, bobas, and also level of sweetness.The vibe is very kawaii with a ginormous teddy and boba cup at the entrance and light blue pastel colors. They have a few tables for gathering. Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

Do you like crane games? Do you like cute stuffed animals? Do you also like Boba? Well this is the place for you. They recently added all of these crane games, and let me tell you it is addicting. Try to win your favorite stuffed animal while you wait for your Boba. It has a cute white and blue aesthetic. Whale Tea has a unique set of Boba drinks using coconut milk. You gotta give the OG coconut drink a try. I also go the brown sugar milk tea which was super good, and the tapioca were sweet and soft. LOOK AT HOW CUTE THESE CHOCO EGGS ARE!! Literally adorable. Service is fast, and you use the tap screen to order.I kept missing the frog in the crane game, I will get it one day!

On a recent trip to Virginia Beach, we were craving boba (bubble tea). We checked out Whale Tea and loved the cute interior.Ordering was done through their self-service kiosk. Luckily, no one was behind us because placed a few drink orders plus one of their Stuffed Smiley Bites (egg-shaped pancake-tasting treat).I was drawn by the beautiful blue in one of their drinks and ordered. I had the Whale Crystal (Coconut Milk). At first sip, I was actually disappointed and didn't like it at all. The flavors and texture just didn't work for me. I tried a couple sips of the Taro Fresh Milk and that was way better than what I had. Our party also ordered a regular Milk Tea and Jasmine Tea Crystal (Coconut Milk). Mixed feelings on our drinks but we did enjoy the Stuffed Smiley Bites (Chocolate).The day we came (Sunday), there were 2 parties ahead of us. Most of us were sitting around without drinks. I'm sure those ahead of us were waiting long as well. The total wait time for our 4 drinks and egg bites were 40 minutes.Whale Tea helped satisfy our boba cravings though. It's not as good as the ones I've had in California but definitely not the worst either. Kind staff. Cute interior. Long wait time.Note: Located in the E Mart shopping center.

Whale Tea is a welcome bubble tea outpost, despite its minor kinks. Service was speedy thanks to a quiet atmosphere, and the boba themselves were a highlight: perfectly cooked, pleasantly warm at the bottom of the cup, and offering that satisfyingly springy bite.However, the milk tea fell short. Even at 50% sugar, it was way too sweet, drowning out the tea flavor. This might suit those with an extreme sweet tooth, but if you appreciate a more balanced sip, you might want to adjust your sugar level next time or explore Whale Tea's bolder flavors to let the tea notes shine through.Overall, Whale Tea earns a solid 4 stars. It's a convenient option for boba cravings, especially for its attentive service and perfectly cooked boba. But for those seeking a nuanced tea experience, keep those sugar levels in check or be prepared to branch out on the menu. There's potential here, and I'm curious to see how Whale Tea navigates the balance between sweetness and tea flavor in the future.I hope this expanded review provides a more nuanced picture of your Whale Tea experience!

Came here for the first time and the ambiance is super cute. Super easy to order at the screen and there are plenty of choices. Their boba is smaller than typical boba spots but the creme brulee taro was sooo yummy!

Whale Tea locations have been popping up, and this location is one that had recently opened up.Their menu is extensive, offering fresh fruit milk teas, fresh milk teas, teas with milk foam, teals with crystal jellies, etc.We came here after having a meal in the area, and we ordered:+a Grapefruit Fruit Tea+an Orange Lemon Fruit TeaThe drinks themselves were just okay - they were a bit watered down, and I just wish the tea was steeped longer and was much stronger. I think with this and the fresh fruit, it would have tasted great and refreshing.There are a couple of kiosks that you order from; if you sign up for their loyalty program, you can save on your very first purchase - so, do it!Loved the oversized giant claw machine with Dumbo inside, as well as the other claw machine with cute little plushies, featuring Sanrio characters!The staff are very kind and welcoming!There are plenty of seating inside if you wanted to stay and enjoy your drink.Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot.+loyalty program available +friendly service+plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot

Overall experience was perfect. Drinks that I ordered was 10/10 and customer service was also a 10/10

I am a regular customer of the shop, always buy their taro milk tea because the taro is handmade and fresh, but in the last 2 months I bought there 10 times and 8 times their taro was not fully cooked, it was still raw and they took it to grind, very hard. 1 time I complained so they changed me to a new taro, and the next times were all hard, today will be the last time I come here
