Passionfruit Green Tea with Strawberry popping pearl and mango popping pearl
Anastasia G.

Yummy boba , super fast service despite being very busy! Lovely ambiance; very clean and inviting.

Suggested drinks to order if you're a newbie

This was my first visit to a Gong Cha location. I have always seen these stores at shopping centers, but never stepped in. There was a special event on 7/27/24 with k-pop group BTS as the theme. Their music was playing and photos were posted on the walls. You may order at the front counter or at a kiosk. We tried the matcha milk tea and mango green tea. Our orders were ready in 5 minutes. They were delicious and flavorful. The dining area is clean and features a large cherry blossom tree near the front. A nice place to visit for snacks and drinks!

Very nicely decorated! Beautiful! I ordered their Peach Teaffogato, which is like a peach slushy with black tea according to the staff there. It wasn't bad at all. We also added a peach jelly as topping in our drink. If you check in, you should receive 1 free topping to claim in the store. I also ordered their original egg waffle. This is the first Gong Cha place I saw that has egg waffle. One of the reason that draws me here because Gong Cha that I've been to in Philly doesn't have egg waffle! And surprisingly, it was not too bad. I like the crispy texture but in my opinion, the taste is missing some egg flavor though. Overall, I would go back for more. If you check in at yelp, you get a 1 free topping offer too!

Gong cha is the cutest! The decor is so on trend and it's a pretty welcoming environment. I love the kiosk and the teas. My daughter and the tried the original tea and I tried a strawberry/cream tea. I like that you're able to alter the level of sweetness so I was able to cut mine in half as I don't like super sweet drinks and you're even able to edit the amount of ice. Both drinks were tasty and the staff were friendly. We'll be back soon!

For a quick boba tea fix, I love to come to Gong Cha! It is easy to order, either order at one of their kiosks or with their cashier. Service is quick too and I love the inside, so cute!! This is a good place to meet with friends also!

Cute interior with comfy seats and cherry blossom decor

I popped in here between hitting Dollar Tree and Michael's. This bubble tea place is adorable and the staff behind the counter were helpful and sweet too. I got the hot lychee green tea with white boba, drank it too quickly to take a pic. It was delicious and not overly sugary. Will be back to try more of their drinks when weather heats up.

I need a Gong Cha in my house that is how much I love it! Upon walking in, my family and I were greeted by staff. You can order on 1 out of 2 of their kiosks or you can order with the staff. I opted on ordering from the kiosk since I was so indecisive. SOOOO many options! I didn't even know there could be so many. I love how you can customize your drink from the ice levels to the sweetness and more! I decided on ordering the rose lychee green tea with rose pearl because I've never had anything like it before and did I love it? YES! Not only are there endless menu items, the ambiance is adorable! There's an "IG worthy" wall and a tree that compliments this place so nicely. I can see why my cousin said this is her favorite boba spot now!

Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea

I am not a big fan of boba tea so I got dirty brown sugar milk tea with no toppings. It's so good. This will now be my go-to order at Gong Cha ;)

We have been here a couple of times. It can get really crowded like tonight. The kids enjoy all the games that is available to them. The drinks are always good. A little bit of trouble with online order that my brother ordered. it took a while for it to come out. But everything else was fine. Good drinks and the inside is very Instagrammable.

Cute little bubble tea shop with plenty of parking. It sits next to a Safeway and other establishments so it's easy to navigate to. The store is very clean and there's tons of options to choose from. Their menu is pretty big and the service is great. I was greeted and placed my order. I was told they had strawberry and mango icecream that evening. It's really expensive to eat here.wow.. I got a brown sugar latte and a chocolate bubble waffle with strawberry icecream and it was $24. I don't understand how or why .. but geez. The ice cream is nothing to brag about or even looks appealing. It wasn't creamy and just seemed icy like a hard soft serve, plus melted way too fast. The menu said $1 up charge for icecream but I was charged $2.50. I didn't want to argue about it. But the Bubble waffle was great! Cooked fresh and hot , crispy on ends and then chewy breaking apart the bubbles. My bubble tea was also good. The brown sugar mixed well with my milk but the boba wasn't sweet. It didn't seem to be marinated long enough in the sweetener they use. Not worth what I paid and disappointing.

I love the Boba always sweet & fresh! I go here at least once a week & never had any problems. *I didn't like the smoothie but it's just my personal preference but I absolutely love the lattes with oat milk and extra brown sugar.

Dirty Brown Sugar Black Milk Tea
Tiffany Y.

Gong Cha is one of my favorite boba spots in the area. Service is great, appreciate the staff making sure I knew to shake up the dirty brown sugar milk tea I ordered. The dirty brown sugar milk is the most popular drink and I'm glad I finally tried it! 50% sweet was perfect and the boba here is always perfect! I also like the Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3Js, purple sweet potato drinks, and just oolong milk tea too! They have a rewards program as well. They have a thermometer when you come in for a quick touch less temperature check. It's also easy to order online and pickup.

Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea

I happened to be in the area and in need of a serious afternoon pick-me-up. I'm not much of a coffee drinker so bubble tea it is! Gong Cha is located in the Arundel Mills area but it's across from the mall in the same shopping strip as Safeway and Panera Bread. Upon entering, I was greeted by an employee who asked me to check my temperature. They have a temperature scanner at the counter where they ask you to place your forehead in front of it to check your temperature. Next, I waited in line to place my order. I ended up going for the dirty brown sugar tea with bubbles. The drink was sweetened just right and the boba were soft and slightly chewy...the perfect texture in my opinion. Make sure to give your drink a good shake before drinking to distribute the sweetness evenly. I felt that I drank most of the sugar at the beginning and lost sweetness at the end. It was still a good drink though and I look forward to returning to try other items. They seem to have a pretty extensive drink menu and there were a few other things that caught my eye. Customer service was friendly and if you don't automatically scan your temperature, they kindly ask you to do so. They're definitely taking their covid precautions seriously and it's much appreciated.

They definitely have a lot of great options if you want something sweeter. We hung out for a few hours, they have a good seating area, was never overly busy on a Saturday morning. They have a drive thru for convenience as well. They have food available but I didn't try any. It is very similar to Starbucks in that matter, most of it seems to be reheated in the toaster oven. I love the concept of the shop though, it's New Orleans based so they have beignets and some other items inspired by that. I'm sure I will come back here whenever Im visiting my parents. It is most conveniently located for where they live.

There was also no hint of banana, if real banana purée is used then petals the reduction process could be increased to give it a more robust presence. The flavor profile of the drink as a whole was completely off and didn't meet the name of the drink. Beignets Well, they appeared to be freshly prepared, the grease presence tasted as if old grease was used. That flavor was a bit overpowering in every bite. The sauces I chose was pumpkin sauce and white chocolate, however, the cashier when recommending them made it sound as if the sauces came with it. I was a bit surprised to see a 50 Cent charge per sauce on the receipt. No I'm not griping over a dollar, it's more of the principle of more awareness and again I should have taken more time to read the menu as that may have been presented the up charge on there. Both dipping sauces were overly sweet, sickeningly sweet. While this did not feed my soul, maybe it feeds yours.

The food is better than the coffee, IMO - the Tito Burrito is so yummy! They also introduced me to Yellow Bird sauces, which they sell and offer for use on your food - they are the best hot sauce I've ever had! Honestly, they're a very good place to stop in for breakfast. Just make sure if you order on a weekend morning that you give them LOTS of time to make your coffee if you want something fancy - order ahead. Otherwise, if you're just getting food, it'll be ready within a few minutes, you don't have to order ahead. I am taking away a star and giving them 4/5 because the tables can be messy, the room echoes really loudly so it's hard to talk to someone, and the prices are out of this world for their coffee and tea. The food carries this place to a fairly high spot in my rankings of local restaurants, but there are definitely a few issues that bug me about this place.

I chose the regular acai bowl and the 16oz Camp fire Night iced latte w/oatmilk(its a seasonal favor). I absolutely enjoyed my purchase. This place offers a very relaxed and quiet atmosphere with abundance of seating. The environment is conducive to sitting with the dazzling sun enjoying the moment at the high top or seating low chairs, doing a little reading or work on your computer. The options are up to you but the vibe and setting is everything. While sitting here enjoying my acai bowl and latte, I watched the lady come in with more beautiful black art pieces. Not that I looked specifically to seek out a female owned cafe during National female month; it was my pleasure to have patronized a dope black female owned business. I highly recommend anyone to come and visit this uplifting cafe. It definitely lives up to its name " LOVE LIFE CAFE"/ LOVE LIFE COFFEE.
