Woo!!! a Gongcha in Canada! And I have to say that the menu selections is a lot bigger than I remembered it to be compared to The States. Despite that, I still went with my usual Earl Grey Milk Tea w 3J ($6.50). Delicious as always. read more

According to my two kids, this place has the best boba they have ever tried. That is saying a lot because they have experienced boba at many different stores over the past few years. They felt that they had the most original options. They both loved the earl grey milk tea with 3J (boba,jelly,one other ingredient). We came back to this place 2 times during our stay in Calgary. They give it a big thumbs up. read more

Standard boba chain where I have been to in the Bay Area. Reminds me of McDonalds regarding consistency of their milk tea. read more

Gong Cha - Chilling with the youngsters and listening to the hip music at this location - Bubble Tea Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

All the drinks here are delicious! I got the lychee oolong tea with lychee pearls and it was so refreshing. The smoothies are super yummy as well. The service was great and all our drinks came out super fast. I also recommend getting the mango lychee green tea, but ask for less sugar if you like the stronger tea flavor like me. The inside of the shop itself is really cute. It's a small, but enough for sitting and talking with your friends. read more

Gong Cha - two cold drinks on a table - Bubble Tea Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I usually love this place it's super good and yummy. When I went to order the lady had headphones on but I said my order like always. I ordered the drink Oreo pearl milk tea. She later prepared my drink and did not give me what I ordered it was a brown sugar pearl milk tea. I thought they changed the look and let it slide but it did not taste like Oreo at all. I thunk that employees should not be aloud to wear headphones because I used my money for something I didn't want. Other than that there service is ok but I'm a little disappointed, read more

Nice service. The girl at the counter was very nice and friendly, love her service very much.

First time having Gong Cha. I got the Earl Grey Milk tea with 3 J. 3J means it has three different kinds of jelly in the drink: pearls, grass jelly and lychee jelly. OMG that is too much stuff in a drink. I feel like that was more of a meal than a drink. I came with colleagues and they told me that Gong Cha is known for their Earl Grey Milk Tea. It is highly recommended here. For all their drinks, you have the options to choose how much ice you want and on top sweetness. I feel like this is the new standard with all the chain bubble tea places or bubble tea places that come from Taiwan. Yes Gong Cha originated from Taiwan and it has locations around the world. I highly recommend coming here for bubble tea. Their service was pretty quick. For them to make a cup of bubble tea either L or regular size, it takes them about 3 to 5 mins. They are located in Chinatown and they do have multiple competitions in the area. If they are able to survive than that means they are good. Decor is nice. They do have a few tables and chairs. Not much. It is first come first serve. Most people just do takeout. Good bubble tea! read more

This place is pretty great and my kids have tried bubble tea all over the world and they said this is one of their favourites but one of the best things is the price... Did you know it's only five dollars for a very large size. It's actually enough to feed both of my kids and my kids have stomachs that are bottomless pits. 250 per kid! That's not bad! read more

I love bubble tea so honestly I hardly ever give a bad review for bubble tea places. They had a good amount of options, and I love the places that let you choose the ice and sugar level. Nice seating area too. read more

One of my favorite bubble tea place has finally opened in Calgary. I ordered the Earl Grey with 3J (Pearls, Grass Jelly and Pudding). It taste great and the 3J compliments well with the drink and providing various texture. The service was adequate for their opening so my visit went smoothly. My concern was the extra charge for no ice which was new to me and the earl grey tasted a bit watered down so it wasn't as tasty as i anticipated (maybe because of the ice? Lel) I would visit again. read more

Gong Cha is probably my go-to for bubble tea! I always get the green tea milk foam with pearls- not too sweet yet very refreshing in my opinion! Their bubble waffles are also very good, made to order of course. Got their original flavor - light and fluffy. But they also have matcha and chocolate flavors as well!! Decent amount of seating although it can get pretty busy! read more

Gong Cha - bubble waffle, green tea milk foam w/ pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Service: * Polite but transactional. Nothing too special. * 3/5 Food: * Both of our teas were delicious. They were both subtle and not too sweet. * The tapioca had a consistency that was unique and amazing compared to all the other bubble tea places I have been too. It has a great bite and chew to it. Also, the flavor of the tapioca itself was very subtle and flavorful * We opted for half sweet milk teas as sometimes I feel that bubble teas can be overpowered by the sugar and with that, the ones we got had a great taste to it. * I would recommend getting all their drinks at 50% sugar as it does very sweet otherwise. * Pricing for bubble teas are also reasonable and affordable. * 5/5 Atmosphere: * This shop is small but very bright in colors and atmosphere. White and red décor fills the room. Red lanterns and live plants are also visible at this location. * There are many double and group tables to sit in to enjoy the bubble tea. * Great seating by the window to people watch and view the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. * 5/5 Full review: www.thelocalepicure.ca Instagram: @thelocalepicure read more

Calgary's first Gong Cha is located across the street from the Chatime in Chinatown. I visited on a Friday night and they were pretty busy but not crazy busy. The staff were pleasant and drinks were ready in a reasonable amount of time! I tried the mango and lychee green tea which I enjoyed, it didn't have too much of an artificial syrupy taste like some other flavoured green teas can have. The price was reasonable, my Large size with pearls came out to $5.50! The panda milk tea seemed to be pretty popular and Gong Cha is on board with the "milk foam" trend that's common with other bubble tea chains. They only have 3 tables so it's more of a to go kind of joint. I would definitely come back for the fruit tea! For milk tea, I'm loyal to Chatime's roasted milk tea but will have to come back to Gong Cha to try theirs as well. read more

I have been here numerous times for milk tea. They have an extensive menu and my drink has always been made correctly. They give you the option to modify the sugar and ice and make sure that your drink is ordered exactly how you want it. They also sell waffles. This is regarded as one of the most authentic bubble tea shops in Calgary and is located in the heart of Chinatown. read more

Love this place downtown, everytime I'm near this place I order mango latte, winter melon foam I usually order lowest sugar as it already sweet, or there panda foam. Minus a star because I wish all gong cha taste the same . The one downtown still always the one location that taste good. This location has all there flavors. read more

There is only tea type bubbletea available and no fruit smoothies. The milk tea with pearls was same as any other place but the lychee Oolong tea was quite tasty. Hope they will branch out to more flavours read more

I really wanted to like this place when they first came to Calgary. I tried the winter melon drink and mango. I didn't expect much out of the mango because it's not something they're known for but the mango flavour just seemed completely off. The wintermelon was extremely sweet as well. read more

My friends and I met in college in Los Angeles, with several of us growing up in the Asian suburbs of LA. Needless to say, we know good boba. Gong Cha was our go-to spot while on a reunion trip to Calgary. I was just craving a classic milk tea with boba, but got it with less sugar. The sweetness was to my liking, the tea was flavorful (not watery), and the boba were tender. Glad we found this spot in Chinatown! read more

I tired many bubbles tea, I think gong cha is the best, staff are nice and fast; even 10 people in front of me still just took 5mins!!! read more

Gong Cha - Panda Foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

My favourite bubble tea place rn! I always get the same thing everywhere but they make it super good here! They have very quick service and make it just right! read more

It's new, it's good, it's Gong Cha! Taro MT contains real taro, probably best taro flavor ever had.

I went during the soft opening and I'm really liking the BBT here! I had the passionfruit green tea - it was very tasty and I appreciated the little passionfruit seeds in it as well. I later ordered the earl grey and it tasted less strong than other earl greys I've had despite my lack of ice. It was also a bit too sweet for my preference (and I only ordered 30% sugar!). Nonetheless, I like the tea here and it's a convenient location for a BBT during the day as the plus+ exit is right there. read more

Pearls are always perfectly cooked. Not too soft and not overly sweet. Nice and chewy! But they always run out at night.

looovveeee it!! ordered the panda milk tea!! This is so refreshing!! A bit sweet but you can opt to have lesser sugar! I got the regular one, next time ill order lesser sugar! The pearl/boba is sooo good!! read more

I love it! The unique thing about Gong Cha is that their bubble tea actually taste like tea. If you're a huge tea lover, you will live this place. Especially if you like milk because their signature bubble teas has a delicious milk foam. I personally prefer Gong Cha over cocos, jusfruit, and chatime. read more

Nothing beats KFC bubble tea in mainland China. But Gongcha's brown sugar bubble tea comes close 2nd. My bf loves their citric drinks also. The price point could be better but the quality is good. read more
