Brecotea
9627 W Broad St, Glen Allen, VA
Crema's Take
“This Glen Allen gem has earned genuine loyalty with its thoughtfully crafted drinks and an impressive pastry case that goes well beyond typical cafe fare—the pork floss cake and chicken sandwich keep regulars coming back. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between a serious specialty tea destination and a welcoming hangout where families and groups feel equally at home, with staff that consistently gets orders right and a warm, attentive presence. While their creative fruit tea experiments don't always land, the reliable classics like their strawberry yogurt tea with boba and traditional matcha drinks prove they've mastered the fundamentals that matter most.”

I wouldn’t recommend the strawberry and orange tea. It had a sour aftertaste and unpleasant drink texture. It became very unappetizing when I took a second look and it appeared to have a curdling texture
I’ve visited this Brecotea location twice! I along with my husband and roommate love this place! I personally think the best item is the chicken sandwich warmed up! So so so good couldn’t recommend this sandwich enough. I also got a different drink each time I visited and it’s been great each time. Also very affordable for what you can get! Will return soon ❤️
I LOVE this place! It's a great hangout spot and the staff is always super nice to me!! Also, they've never once gotten my drink order wrong (I always order a strawberry yogurt tea w boba instead of pearls) and it's SO GOOD!! I can't speak much on the pastries, but I do really love the chocolate roll thingy and I hope y'all make some more lol. Would recommend
I LOVE THIS PLACE!! It's now on my top five places to eat in Richmond, and I'm not exaggerating. They have such amazing choices for dessert and savory baked goods, and the best part - the prices! I was totally ready to go broke when I entered this cute bakery cafe, but the prices are ❤️!! And the quality exceeds expectations. Tried these, and I would definitely recommend them all - Mango Stick Ube Bun Potato Sandwich delight Boba brown sugar milk cake shake (this is the best boba tea I've ever had!) Definitely going there super soon, and will update this list of recommendations! Till then, go out and try this place. You'll love it.
I must admit that this dessert shop is the best in Richmond and the surrounding areas. They have a variety of pastries. My favorite is the pork floss cake, which is so moist. I've tried other sweets and have never had items that I don't like. If you come late, they may run out of most items. For drinks, I will go with the mixed fruit teas or the brown sugar bubble tea. The atmosphere is lively and good to hang out with friends or families. Both my niece and nephew always ask to come here when they visit me.
