I'm so happy to have a boba (tapioca pearl) tea place right next to where we live to get my immediate boba fix. Psst, I prefer Gong Cha over KFT and Tiger Sugar . I always go for the classic Pearl Milk Tea or Taro Milk Tea. I used to go for the Dirty Brown Sugar MT, but I prefer the plain classic MT to get my boba fix. The guy at the register overheard me talking to my daughter about needing a non-caffeinated drink, and he said the Dirty Brown Sugar Latte would be the one to try. She loved it! We've been here numerous times and have not been let down at all. Well, maybe when we miss out on cool toys/gadgets, then that sucks. It won't deter us from coming back. read more

First time going- near glory days with public parking lot. The store itself is kind of small and feels squished but they have self order kiosks and some indoor seating (mostly for groups of two) and a table or two outside. I got the taro matcha drink, which was $8.25 and my friend got the taro drink $6.75. Taste good- and I like how we can customize the sweetness level. read more

I love this tea shop. I come here very often and would say that their drinks and customer service is great. There's a wide selection of drinks and all the ones I have tried are delicious. Sometimes when I order matcha they don't put enough so the drink if very milky and not a great color but then sometimes it's good so that's why I'm giving 4 stars for consistency. There's a few small tables inside and bigger tables outside. I always recommend this place to friends and family. Since the opening of teso life in the same shopping center, I noticed that this place has been overwhelmed with a lot of new costumers. Orders might take longer than usual so please give the employees some grace and I recommend coming during slower hours probably before 3. read more

Placed an online order for 2 Vietnamese Coffees. I get Vietnamese coffee all the time and this was not it!! It was water mixed with flavored coffee milk. By far the worst iced coffee I have ever had in my life. I couldn't drink it. Wasted $20 for iced flavored water coffee. read more

This Gong cha had recently opened up in the Old Centreville Crossing, and as their other locations, their menu offers milk foam beverages, brewed tea, milk teas, smoothies, a marble series, and a coffee series with option to add various toppings. The place itself is pretty small, and I think there are only two small tables and a counter seating with about 3 stools; there are 2 kiosks, in which it seems that is the recommended way to place your order(s). I had the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with light ice and the Grapefruit Yogurt with light ice - both were well-prepared. The Brown Sugar had a good strong tea flavor, but could have used more of the brown sugar syrup. The Grapefruit Yogurt was great, as it was the right mix of the both and was super refreshing. Even though there was a line, the staff were able to make the drinks pretty efficiently. Plenty of parking in the large plaza lot. +order via the kiosks +plenty of parking +located in the Old Centreville Crossing read more

Love to get their hot oolong milk tea with 30% sweetness either with or without boba. It's just perfect for any time of the year... except in summer, I'd opt for light iced one. It's just more than typical milk tea. It's good brewed milk tea. So sugar isn't so overpowering in this drink. Service is usually quick and great even if it gets busy. Usually plenty of seats if you wanted to chill for a bit and enjoy the drink. read more

RED VELVET MILK TEA WITH CHEESE FOAM!?!? Are you kidding me!! By far the best milk tea I've had, and it's a seasonal item so come fast! read more

We came here for the gingerbread promotion cups!! We did the self checkout but the workers were great at getting our orders out, the inside was very cramped with minimal seating. This is a very order to go location for gongcha. We all got variations of the promotional drinks ($7.50), and the group favorite was the gingerbread flavored boba one on the left. The sugar level is unadjustable. If you want something more tea based I'd get the oolong tea with gingerbread foam (middle one) thts sugar adjustable. Boba here is always solid and a consistent option in northern va! read more

First time visiting this location. The ambiance of this location is nice but small I can see this place getting crowded quick . I was looking for something sweet since I had just ate . The service was fine they were helpful . I was undecided on what to get so I let a couple go in front of me . What they got looked good so I got what the guy ordered which was a Crème brûlée Strawberry Latte Size (M) %100 sugar . It turned out to be delicious I would good back for that drink and others . read more

Ordered two half sweet milk teas and for one of them the syrup hadn't been mixed in so was just congealed at the bottom. The other drink was a matcha and was too powdery. read more

Gong Cha - All or the syrup was on the bottom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

It's one of my favorite place for boba! It's great to have another dessert option to choose from after having lunch or dinner around Centreville. I tried the Lemon Ai-Yu with White Pearl during their grand opening promotion of buy 2 get 1 free. It was flavorful and refreshing! It's so hard to pick a favorite, but I'm usually leaning towards their milk tea, yogurt and sparkling series. It was a little busy during their grand opening week. The space inside is smaller than other locations, but they managed to have a couple dining tables. I usually place my order through their app and the wait was reasonable as always. read more

Gong Cha - Lemon Ai-Yu with White Pearl - Bubble Tea Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I love bubble tea and this place has dairy free options which is awesome. The service has always been fast, easy and nice. The place is really tiny so if you're looking to sit down you can do that outside on a nice day, but probably not inside. read more

TL;DR: Great tea, good boba, extensive menu, easy ordering Another great addition to the boba scene in the Centreville area. They had their grand opening a couple weeks ago, and it was already very busy! INSIDE: The inside is rather small, but had 5 small tables for you to dine in. Additionally, outside there are some spaces you can sit and enjoy your drinks/snacks ORDERING: You can order at the register, but they also have 2 kiosks where you can put your order in DRINK: ~Grapefruit Green Tea with boba (4/5): Good fruit flavor, but can still taste the tea, which is yummy. The boba was good, but I wish it was just a hair softer (I chalk it up to opening weekend/high volume boba cooking) FOOD: I didn't get to try any of their snacks, but they have mochi donuts and egg waffles. Will try those next time. Happy this place opened up, but now it makes my decision on where to go more difficult! Will definitely be back! read more

What happened to this gong cha? I have been ordering from this location for years but the last 3x in the last 2 months, I no longer taste the Cha /the tea in my milk tea order. It is almost like sweet watered down milk .... read more

This was the second time I have been here. I ordered the Mango Marble Green Tea Latte. Which was very tasty. I finished almost all of it before getting home. When you enter there are two kiosk for ordering which I like. As a person who takes a while to choose what to order this is a great non pressure way to order. The service has been quick but it wasn't very full. There isn't a lot of seating and could feel a bit cramped inside if there are a lot of people. So I suggest going at non busy hours. read more

Purple sweet potato milk tea (hot, 30% sugar level) tasted weird... Not sweet at all and kinda powdery. I wouldn't get it again. But peach lychee fruit drink was AMAZING! Very noticeable lychee flavors and super refreshing. read more

Asked for a drink with boba and manga flavor, received a mango tea drink that "doesn't come with boba" It was fine but i cried in my car lol. Workers were sweet but maybe it was a communicated error, boba was fine read more

I went to Gong Cha on New Years Day! It was so beautiful outside and a perfect day for bubble tea! This location just opened. When you walk in they have two screens you can order for or you can go to the counter if you please. They also have a poster on the window with their top ten drinks if you are unsure what to get. There are so many amazing options. I made up the combination I got. It was a purple sweet potato bubble tea with strawberry pearls topped with their creme brulee milk foam. It was yummy! I can't wait to try more combinations. read more

I'd say my drink was pretty average - not anything over the top or below standard. I ordered an Earl Gray Milk Tea with boba, pudding and jelly. I didn't get much pudding in there, however there was plenty boba and some jelly. I asked for my drink with 30% ice and 30% sweetness. It was what I expected it to be. And it was a nice lil treat. It was a bit crampy inside. In other words, it can fit maybe 6-8 people in the waiting area, and others may need to wait outside. What's nice is that there are 2 kiosks where you can place your order if you don't want to order at the register. The service was quick and the guy at the register was polite. read more

Gong Cha - Earl Grey Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

It's to the point where I walk in to pick up my online order and the employees immediately pull out my drink(s) from the fridge the moment they see me. Super glad that a Gong Cha opened up in Centreville; no longer need to drive to Chantilly or Annandale for a fix. Also glad that there's variety with bubble tea in the area now. Heo Tea and Ben Gong's has subpar boba and beverages. Compared to the two places, this one is significantly smaller. Some items from the other stores aren't available here, which I assume is because of inventory space. Regardless, this place has been doing so well considering it's so new. Usually, new shops are still working out some issues, so you'd except a few errors and mistakes now and then. Not this place, though. Every time I receive my order, they have been consistent through and through. As for the drinks, it's hard to pick a favorite. My go-to drink is the Little Star Peach Green Tea, which comes with peach star jelly. It is RIDICULOUSLY good. Gong Cha has always been good about having unique and flavorful beverages on their menu. Other bangers would be the caramel milk tea with pudding, peach yogurt slush with coconut jelly, and taro coconut milk tea. Their sparklers series are really good too. I ordered the lychee sparkling once and it left me craving for more. I'm super glad they're doing well, and hopefully they will continue to succeed from here on out. read more

I really like Gong Cha in general as I think it is one of the better boba places that offers a variety of drinks This location is clean inside - however it is so small, narrow and is not very comfortable to be in when it is busy The service is good though! Staff are friendly and make the drinks quickly read more

Top Tier place to get a sweet treat. Staff is always very friendly and the owner is an amazing dude. I will be coming back many times from now. read more

The upscale spot for bubble tea. They have very nice reusable cups and the atmosphere feels like somewhere an influencer would take pictures. Bubble tea is good but pricey. read more

This is my favorite place for boba tea and I've tried many different places. Their service is great too.

Finally!!!! A Gongcha in Centreville, what a special treat. This one is way smaller than Chantilly, but personally I like it cause of the chairs. Whoever picked it out, you did a good choice! It's a pretty cute spot on a date so if you found yourself a boba girl, come treat here to a wafful read more

Gong Cha - Inside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Just opened yesterday- right next to Glory days. They are doing some grand opening specials, check out their IG for info on that. Very small inside so it's not rly meant to be a hang out, there were 4 tables of two max. Clean and open, menu is easy to read. It seems like ordering and pick up is the same area near the cashier. This plaza desperately needed some bubble tea so I'm super happy for this addition. Gong Cha is one of my favorites because they are consistent...which is the most important quality in a chain boba place. They have lots of cool flavor combos and also the traditional milk tea which is solid. Excited to be a regular! read more

A nice, large variety of drink options to choose from. A very small shop (gets easily crowded when there's multiple customers) so it's nice that the ordering system is through a kiosk. Staff was friendly and drinks came out in a timely fashion. Would recommend! read more

I honestly think Gong Cha can be a hit or a miss. But 9/10 of the times I do go, it's been pretty good. The drinks are pretty good and tasty. I get the manga marble latte a lot with mango popping boba. 10/10 recommend. The workers there usually greet you and are generally nice. It is quite small and I wouldn't go here to hang with a bunch of my friends but it's a cute small place to grab boba or a dessert and sit with one other person. read more

Gong Cha - Brown sugar latte with boba and pudding, and yuzu mochi donut - Bubble Tea Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Another new Gong Cha in town! This location is a lot smaller than the other ones I've been to. Not much room inside to order comfortably -- especially coming in with a group of friends; but still quick service nonetheless. Because of the smaller location, their seating is lined up - great for a duo, or alone time but preferably not really the place to hang since the door is always opening due to the business! Nothing extraordinary -- has their kiosk, same menu, and good tasting drinks! Got my go-to, Winter-melon Milk Tea with Star Peach Jelly (my favorite). Would recommend 7/10 to grab drinks, pick up, and or to drop by for quick drinks/dessert! Not recommended for long hang outs, study/work, or larger groups! read more

The drinks taste amazing. The employees start on your order as soon as it's placed. The wait time is comparable to Starbucks but it's worth the wait. There isn't a lot of seating inside but it's cute. read more

The staff was really sweet, the place has a calming vibe. The matcha milk tea is not that good- boba is a little bit firm for my taste and it tastes more like watery green tea with milk and sugar than actual matcha. It was still good but not what I usually expect for a matcha milk tea. read more
