The egg and sausage bun with sesame seeds is really good. You can tell it's made from scratch and the flavor is perfect, not too strong nor too mild. It's definitely something for me to get again. I have been slowly going through all their unique premade drinks. I haven't yet found any other place in Kansas City area that sells the diversity of options here. It's really so much more than your typical boba place. The space is small and they have some cute little vending machine games. read more

I got this delivered through DoorDash and I was so pleasantly surprised! I'm a boba newbie so I wasn't sure where to start. I ended up getting the creme brulee coffee with added brown sugar crystal pearls, the creme brulee dessert, and the mochi waffle. All of it was absolutely incredible! The two desserts were completely on a whim and I'm so happy I decided to get them because those will now be desserts I dream about for weeks to come. The creme brulee coffee is deliciously strong-tasting and I'm in love with the creme brulee coffee. The brown sugar crystal pearls were new to me, and I've come to find it's an acquired taste (which I'm finding myself slowly being acquired to). The creme brulee was perfectly creamy and decadent, and the green grapes that were added on top were a surprise at first, but now I'll require every creme brulee in the future to have grapes on top. The mochi waffle was INCREDIBLE. It's huge, first of all - enough for two servings for sure. I was afraid the flavor would be bland, but it had the perfect amount of sweetness, plus the chewy texture was something I'm going to crave. read more

One of the best boba spots. Enjoy with friends or solo time to get tasks done on my laptop. Usually pretty empty so sounds is not an issue either. Plenty of treats to purchase som provided by local pop- up spaces. read more

We came here for the Japanese toy capsule along with boba and bubble waffles. The selection of gacha machines was better than Madison, WI and prices better. Tokens got stuck and the store employees had key to help us out. Normally this doesn't happen. Also boba tea and waffles were really yummy after our ramen bowls nearby. read more

My Honest Rating: A Disappointing Experience! ​I've been a regular customer at this boba shop for a while and have always had positive things to say. I've recommended it highly to everyone I know, but that all ends today. I was incredibly disappointed with the way I was treated, especially since it came directly from the owner. ​My usual order is the hibiscus tea with either lychee, strawberry, or mango, and I always get 0% sweetness with a half scoop of popping boba. It's the perfect drink, and I get it every single time I visit. But today, the hibiscus tea with lychee tasted off. It had a bitter, spoiled flavor and an awful aftertaste. I knew something was wrong after the first sip, so I tried it again just to be sure. ​I immediately told a worker about the issue, and he brought it to the owner's attention. I thought perhaps there was some coffee residue left in the tea-making equipment since I know hibiscus tea itself isn't bitter. I told the owner that maybe the tea had been over-steeped or brewed for too long. I even asked her to try it herself to see if she could taste the same issue. ​She took the drink to the back, tried it, and came back to tell me it was fine and made the way it usually is. She didn't even address my concern. She just handed the drink back to me, basically telling me to take it as is without apologizing or offering to fix it or make a new one. I was absolutely shocked that she would treat a loyal customer like this. ​I told her it was wrong, and the person I was with tried the drink and could confirm it was off as well. I was so disappointed that she wouldn't fix my drink and showed no remorse for my concern. I know exactly how that drink is supposed to taste, and this wasn't it. ​I refused to drink something I wasn't enjoying, especially after paying nearly $7, which is very steep for a boba tea these days. It was such awful customer service. I don't plan to go back ever again. ​If I could give this zero stars, I would. If you can't handle honest criticism and ensure customer satisfaction, you shouldn't be in the service industry. ​P.S. I had to throw out the full drink, which was upsetting, but I refuse to be treated that way. read more

My favorite sweet spot to get a coconut smoothie! Their service is pretty quick... just gotta know what you want. Their ambiance is like a typical boba spot. Has little keychains and toys to look at and buy while waiting. read more

I've not had a bad experience yet coming into this boba spot. I've tried the taro boba, the strawberry matcha latte, the creme curler matcha, and the brown sugar creme brûlée boba. All were very tasty. The taro cake and basque burnt cheesecake are yummy! The shop is cute. I've enjoyed the service I've received here as well. read more

I was craving a durian smoothie. I couldn't believe I found a place that does one. However, paying $10.50 for a fairly normal-sized bubble tea-type drink was shocking. I'm aware there's usually a premium price on durian, but this was a little ridiculous (so maybe +$13 after tax and tip). The smoothie also tasted more like melted sweet vanilla ice cream than durian (not very strong flavor). The coconut on top was a nice touch. They might have better drinks, but I was unfortunately wanting something specific. read more

I've been to different Gocha locations and I am always left disappointed. I was hesitant to try this location due to my past experiences. I went with a friend after having kbbq next door and checking out the Korean grocery store. It was empty on a Monday evening but the staff was very friendly as we walked in. There's so many different drinks to choose from and they're different from the other locations I feel like. I got the Hibiscus Lychee and that was the best decision I've made! It was very fruity and flavorful (just how I like it). Since we were the only ones in the store, the worker took our order but usually there's a kiosk that you can place an order! Overall, I was very pleased with my experience and I will definitely be back! I also love how kawaii the place is! read more

Love this place! Great boba and tea selection just around the corner from my place. It's clean, fresh and modern. I especially love the self order station for those low-social battery days, ya know? I also love the customizations available. Boba and Thai tea can be so sweet, so I always get mine with only 25% sweetness and it's prefect! You can also customize the ice quantity and the milk options, but alternative milks do have a fee (just $.50, completely reasonable). I've yet to try their food from the case, but it all looks incredibly tempting. My iron-will will eventually cave though, so I'll update this then! read more

I was so excited to hear Gocha will be in Shawnee. It's so convenient for me to only 10 minutes away from all my favorites snacks. I have been in several times in the last month. The inside is cute and inviting. Great lighting and decor for photos. The desserts and snacks are top-notch as always. I love that Gocha has always been creative with flavors of their refreshments. It's a very welcomed addition to this part of our city. I definitely recommend checking them when you are in the neighborhood. read more

I feel like this place is a miss and hit! The drinks are good but I would recommend only 25 to 50 percent sugar level. I ordered from here almost every week and I love it! Just wish the can tone down their sugar. I usually like the milk tea with crystal pearls. The slushies here aren't very good so I would not recommend! Cute display in the store though! They had a lot of Asian snacks. I personally didn't try but one day I will. I do have a suggestion though, I hope they'll add the snacks they have in store into DoorDash so people can order!!! They also sells very cute stuffed animals if you're into that! I snatched myself a piggy when I was there! Next door is Korean bbq so person for a date or even family outings. read more

If you know of a better place to get a strawberry smoothie with boba, please send me a message and let me know! This is quite likely the best I've found in KC. I agree with other commenters that I wish they would tone down their sugar level, but I am deeply impressed at the array of options and the quality of the drinks - the fruit is delightful and the tapioca was perfect. Deeply impressed by our first couple visits, and looking forward to dropping by next time we're in the area. read more

Ohhh so happy they have a new spot in KANSAS! This will be my go to since I'm always over on this side. I tried their pennywort original and mung bean and oh my, it reminds me of California. Love the fresh juice. Can't go wrong with their Avocado/Durian smoothie. Sooo good but it's not for everyone. Just a warning for those who can't stand the smell. Their yukult tea is great too. read more

This is local boba business. I used to go to their location in North KC, and now they open one in Shawnee close to my house. Their drinks are very unique, not like other franchise boba shop. The price is more affordable. The place is nice and clean. They have kiosk to order, so it's very quick. read more

I'm so happy they have one in Shawnee now instead of driving all the to Gladstone, MO. This place is so yummy! Best boba place in Kansas City for me. This place is clean, has lots of seatings, and super cute decorations. When we walked in we didn't see any employees, but can see them busy making drinks in the back. I liked how they have a touch screen where you can just order and pay by yourself. You get a receipt. When your order is ready, the employee will bring it out to you. We did have a question about something , and it was easy for us to flag down an employee for help. They do have desserts available. Their prices are better than the other boba places. They give you lots of toppings unlike other places. Also, their cups for the boba tea are reusable and sturdy. Love this place! read more

This is a nice cute boba shop. They not only sell boba but other desserts drinks. Their refreshers are my favorite along with their watermelon dessert drink. This is my favorite location to get black pearl boba. The boba is cooked to perfection and has the exact amount of chewiness and is soft at the same time. This place does not disappoint! read more

The shop is still coming together and still felt rather empty but the staff was welcomed us with a smile and the service was prompt.

This strip doesn't have great cell service for some reason and I'm hoping they will introduce wifi soon! read more

I've been to this location twice now and both times I have had great service and great drinks. My mom, who usually doesn't prefer sweet drinks, said she really enjoyed the drink and would like to try different options. Yesterday, I scheduled an order for pickup to place an order ahead of time so that it was ready when I was headed to work. I ordered the cheese foam coffee and boy was it delicious!! When I arrived, the person who handled my order was very helpful and even generous enough to provide me with a spoon when I asked for it. If it weren't so far away from my house I would prefer this place over a Starbucks any day! read more

Cute place! Stopped by here after checking out the Korean supermarket and Korean BBQ place next door. I ordered the coconut taro with 25% sweetness and it was perfect!

Finally, a Gocha in Johnson County. No longer need to drive to Westport or north KC for the best avocado smoothies with boba or other natural boba tea. Japanese strawberry macha is pretty good here too. I like the ambiance, nice decors and spacious. This place is new, so will take a few months for them to get more efficient. We had a pretty good experience here, definitely a new fan. read more

new boba shop in the area. lets see how long this place will last. dont think theres much of a demand in the area. the drink list is pretty standard with milk teas, fruit teas, brown sugar milks, etc. i got a brown sugar creme brulee milk that came with pudding and added boba. the drink was good and not overly sweet like some places. definitely enjoyed the pudding. boba was chewy but lacking flavor. the lid was garbage! every time i picked up the drink it would pop open. boba places need to stick with the sticker type of lid where you can rotate it to mix before poking a hole with the straw. i nearly spilled it multiple times because of how flimsy it was. also tried the earl grey milk tea. that was delicious! the taste of early grey was perfect. overall good flavors but the lids are an issue. read more

I LOVE gocha. I used to go the westport location occasionally, but since moving the shawnee location is super close. All the employees are super nice and always make my drinks taste stellar. As someone with a dairy allergy, it's awesome to see that they offer alternative milks (which is rare for lots of boba shops). Gocha is my favorite place to treat myself, and i'm happy to call myself a semi-regular :) read more
