    Gong Cha is one of those spots that you can always count on for a solid drink. This spot is open til midnight everyday for those late night big backtivities. There are a good amount of parking spots in the plaza. Inside, they have a decent amount of seating with additional seating in their outdoor patio area too. All of the staff here are chill and welcoming. I usually get a wintermelon or yogurt drink here and it always hits!

    I've definitely driven by this place many times, just haven't had the chance to stop by. It is a very cute boba spot! I love the decorations, it really makes the place pop. The lights just really make the place welcoming. I always get my drinks with less sugar and less ice. I would say the drinks are decent. Not the worse I've had, but definitely not the best. I would say the tea wasn't the best I've had, it was a bit watery. With the amount of boba shops near by I wouldn't rank this place too high, but definitely worth a try.

    Lovveee the inside look of this place! So decorative. I got my favorite, a Thai tea. It was delicious!! This is a great spot to visit for teas/boba. Seating inside or can take to go. My drink was made fast and the staff are always very friendly.

    This location is pretty nice and a quiet plaza. There's plenty of parking on the weekend. They made our drinks pretty fast. It's a contactless touch machine to place your order. The place itself is pretty small, but there are four seats if you decide to stay and hang out a little bit with friends.

    The service is exceptional, they have really great specialty drinks and everything on their menu looks so good! The place is so cute, and very aesthetic! Our drinks were so good and we shared a strawberry waffle it smelled so good and it was really tasty! The owners of this place did such a wonderful job with it and I would definitely come back again!

    Stopped by and got the brown sugar milk tea. It was really delicious. The employee was very friendly and efficient. The decor in the restaurant was a bit busy for my preference but I'd recommend.

    Variety of drinks, key chains, mochi waffles, crème brûlée

    Download the app, and order! You know when they say things happen for a reason? Well, I ordered 8 drinks and received 7 and mochi waffles instead! I've had a long day so I didn't even realize the error. I had 2 Thai teas but 1 was mistakenly swapped for the waffles! I was too excited when she said I get a free keychain, then offered two hehe anyway, best mistake ever! I've been looking for a place that can fix my mochi cravings, and I am so glad I got them today! We absolutely love the mochi waffles! Will be ordering again! And again! And again! Sorry to whoever was waiting on the mochi waffles, but thanks for ordering because you helped me find my fix love Gong Cha! And btw thank you guys for calling me right away to fix the error, but yall did me a favor! But for everyone else, download the app for a nice first time promo!

    Lemon Wintermelon with Basil Seed
    Linda M.

    Their grapefruit boba drink is my FAVORITE!! The pulp is so good! I don't usually get pulp in many other fruit boba teas so this one always stands out. We also tried their lemon basil seed one and it was good!!

    Wintermelon foam tea
    Hanna R.

    Stopped by to grab a drink while visiting this plaza on Tuesday. It was empty, probably because it was a random Tuesday afternoon. There was one worker in the store who seemed busy in the back. She was kind enough to let me know I can see photos of each drink via their kiosk. After a few scrolls back and forth, I chose their wintermelon with milk foam. (iirc, total was $6) The drink came out in a cute cup and had paper straws available at the counter. The shop itself was very cute with a ton of post it notes left on the wall from customers and cute halloween decorations. The drink was okay. I can't say it was bad, but also wouldn't say it was good. Very mediocre for me. With many tea shops available in Cerritos, this spot probably wouldn't be my first pick, but open to trying something else if I happen to be in the plaza.

    Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea
    Daniella P.

    Came here after Korean BBQ down the street and really appreciated them being open late. The drink itself was pretty good and I wish I got boba with it. They didn't go overboard with the brown sugar which I enjoyed. The environment was very welcoming so we ended up staying here for over two hours just talking and having our drinks. The interior was very cute as well, and had little neon signs over every table. Cute place!

    Spacious

    Amazing place, very comfortable to sit and chill with the drinks, service is very good and friendly staff.

    This is not the mango marble

    I ordered the Marble Mango (Large, 50% sweet, no ice, coconut jelly) -- the same drink I've had multiple times before -- but what I received was completely different from what's shown on the menu or what I've gotten in the past. It didn't have the usual layers or flavor balance that the Marble Mango normally has. If the store was out of ingredients, I wish they had just let me know instead of giving a totally different drink. I wouldn't have minded switching to something else, but it's frustrating to pay full price and get something that doesn't match what I ordered. I really like Gong Cha and usually have a good experience, so I hope this was just a one-time mistake -- but better communication with customers would go a long way.

    Valentine's boba
    Channary V.

    I love how cute they are valentines cup is, and the drink is delish! I met the owner who happens a to be Cambodian, what are the odds of meeting more Cambodian small business in Long Beach? Just jk, the odds are high to meet Cambodian, but family owned business must be supported! Also, the owner is very friendly and kind to explained the procedure of different flavors. She's helped us take some group photo in her nicely decorated store! Service this is great! Drinks are quick and delicious! There's are 4 recommended flavors for the valentines cups (passion fruits, taro, strawberry, and the other flavor you need to find out yourself lol) Btw the valentines cups brought me and my friends a lot of laughter!

    The drinks are enjoyable and well-prepared, though they do tend to feel a bit heavy afterwards.

This location used to be a Check N Go Got to keep the rhyming, got to keep the flow! Not quite Lakewood Center, but rather Lakewood Square Through next month, you'll see a nearby pumpkin fair I came in right after a Fedex employee The staff welcomed him, but did they welcome me? I'll happily give the benefit of the doubt I was there for 10 minutes, and then I was out At the front of the shop they have a TV You can also get a juice or a functional bevvy Not the alcoholic kind! You won't find that here! But Movita has other drinks, just not beer! The manager on duty offered to help But I didn't want to tell her my status on Yelp It wasn't as easy for the TV did lag Don't forget to ask for a paper bag! I went with Mr. Bowl, a Premium Acai Bowl I recommend it if healthy eating is your goal When my bowl was done, an employee called my name They were still in training, not quite on their A game The employee did say "Have a Healthy Day!" Grabbed my takeout bag, and then I was away My interactions with staff were quite minimal And the prices are quite steep, but not criminal I took Mr. Bowl back home to eat I grabbed my spoon as well as my seat The bowl has granola, almonds, and strawberries Plus some almond butter, bananas, and blueberries I was a little disappointed the acai wasn't frozen Same for Quick Meal, which I had previously chosen I'd recommend Quick Meal after a workout sesh But everything in Mr. Bowl tasted really fresh! The bag I was given didn't have Movita's logo Their anniversary reward is a BOGO Inside the shop, they have many a snack Much healthier than a shake from Shake Shack! Normally, I would have given a four But I know they just opened, so I'll give them one more Overall I recommend Movita Juice Bar You should definitely stop by if it's not too far! *mic drop*

    Came to craft'd for some saturday morning "breakfast". My wife loves this spot for their shakes and…read moreteas. I got myself a protein coffee, my expectations blown out of the water! I got the Cinnamon Dulce protein coffee, it was smooth, consistent and delicious. This drink did not taste or feel like 'protein' but rather DID taste like an iced cinnamon dulce latte. Craft'd did a great job on this one! The cafe is sleek and modern, featuring bar and bench seating. The feel is somewhere between modern nutrition cafe and "small town" local shop. A great spot for a quick and easy meal-replacement drink, meetup with a friend or have a seat and get some work done.

    I have been here twice now, and both times were very different and interesting…read more My first encounter I mentioned it was my first time and the girl behind the counter was very sweet, very informational on the drinks. I ended up getting something called the grinch at the time. It was too sweet for my personal liking, but I still finished it. It just tasted like a generic energy drink, that kind of sweetness to it. They had some people there but they left shortly and I was there studying in a pretty much empty space with my friend. It was really nice. They do keep the music on the louder side. But no worries it's still manageable to do work. The following time I went, I ordered a cucamelon that was made I kid you not, in about 1 minute or less. This was sweeter than the grinch I had. I was making that scrunch face that usually happens when you have something really sweet or sour. My friend ordered a protein latte and it was.... interesting. I just one sip and it tasted like water and ?? Not coffee... no idea how to describe it. It was not good. The service this time around was very, VERY bland and off putting. I remember my friend asking questions and the cashier not feeling too enthusiastic about answering. After sitting down and getting set up to do some work, I would notice the girl would go back and forth between her phone & if someone walked in. she was making drinks super fast, even another customer had commented on it. My drink, the cucamelon, being sweet & all still had all the powder stuff on the bottom. My first sip was powder and water I almost choked on the powder. The drinks aren't great in my opinion. They're on the sweet side & the coffee tastes nothing like coffee even though I understand it's supposed to be a protein powder and whatnot. This place is ideal to get work done as it's never really busy. I would go after noon and if people came it was all to go orders. But very slow. I remember asking the girl what time they closed and she just kind of looked at me and said "7" and I swear she rolled her eyes or something it was such a weird interaction. But life goes on and I liked the quiet and empty space for studying. One restroom is in the back. There's ample seating for the size of the location. Public plaza parking. So far I'm not liking the drinks. Out of three things I've tried it's hard to see myself coming back.
