SmileyTea — Restaurant in Salem

Boba tea / homemade treats with a Vietnamese twist. We like to stop here and order to go, and play table games while we wait.

Would definitely recommend the brown sugar milk tea as well as request a winter melon milk tea, both with boba.

Also, if you’re a sandwich fan and have never tried a bahn mi, their dac biet (with jalepeños) is exceptional. Mayonnaise spread tastes fresh and well made.

Bahn baos are also a great option for a snack to go. Although we weren’t crazy about their cream cheese donut. I would describe it as a Hawaiian roll with a small bit of cream cheese center.

On the other hand, all the cakes are homemade in house and very delicious. Pineapple cream cake 👍👍👍 also, they’re aesthetically pleasing and can be taken home and kept for later or ordered by the slice.

Whole place is clean and organized.

Potentially the best boba tea in Roanoke / Salem area. Great experience and...

Visited this place around when it first opened and been here multiple times since with great experiences. The place is very clean and the staff has always been very kind. I like that there are multiple customizable drink options, even if boba isn't your thing and that you can get food as well. The BBQ pork sandwich was flavorful and packs a great kick if you get it the way it normally comes with the jalapeno, but my pieces were just a tad fatty at the time I got it. The matcha cookies and mango cake in the past were both light, not terribly sweet, and appetizing. Recommend pairing it with some hot coffee or tea as you play one of the board games they have available. Definitely give this place a try when you can!

Everytime I visit town this is my go to boba shop in Salem/Roanoke! They have such a wide variety of flavors, from milk teas, Viet coffees, smoothies and fruit teas. I like that I can customize my drink and it’s perfect every time. I like to take advantage of their buy 4 get 1 free. It’s gotten to the point where my co workers ask me to bring back Viet coffees for them when I’m in town! They also offer several selections of delicious banh mi and desserts/cakes.

Not only is the food great but the customer service is amazing! The owner and his staff are so sweet! I definitely recommend stopping and...
