    Biscoff milk tea and smoothie
    Faith R.

    I love gongcha but first time at this location. Tried the biscoff collaboration. Nice staff and such a chill place. Yum!

    $14 and change for a medium iced lychee tea w/aloe & a large brown sugar boba. Preferred the brown sugar boba over the lychee drink. There's parking and they were open until 8pm on a Monday. Cute inside, very clean.

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea

    Shotgun review: - Compostable straws - Adjustable sweetness levels - So many unique & fun options - Kind & helpful staff - Squeaky clean interior - Convenient location - A touch on the pricier side - Calories listed next to every drink on the big menu* *I don't love this. While I appreciate the attempt to make the nutrition facts more accessible to customers, I don't think it's necessary for just the caloric content to be listed up on the big board. Some folks desperately do NOT want to know that information. My recommendation would be to have printed pamphlets with the nutrition facts of each beverage available for customers if they ask, but not listed on the giant menu behind the counter for everyone to see. Certain things like allergens (gluten, dairy, soy, etc) are fine to put up on the big board. Calories? Not necessary. Maybe even polarizing to some customers. Just a thought.

    Mango yogurt drink with jelly
    Carrie G.

    I could not believe it when I saw that they opened up a Gong cha in Cranston! I'm just happy that there is good Asian stuff in this area! I ordered the mango yogurt drink which was super delicious. The tea was also super tasty and the staff was nice. They were a bit slow. But i think they still need time to get used to everything given that this is a new location.

    I was so excited that Gong Cha was finally coming to RI! I've never tried it before but have heard so many great things. We also need more boba places outside of Providence! I ordered the Green Tea with Foam and it was delicious. I like that you can customize sugar and ice level as well.

    It was my first time here. It took 20 to make one drink. I'm sorry I wish the service was be faster. It would be convenient if there was a drive thru or order ahead.

    Grand opening
    Cary B.

    We came to Gong cha grand opening this past weekend. They had an amazing deal buy one get one free from the top 10. We got Taro, Earl Grey, Matcha Green tea, pearl milk tea. We all really liked our teas and the workers were friendly even though the line was out the door. We are happy to have another bubble tea in the area and close to Whole Foods. There is Loads of parking in the plaza which make it an easy stop. We will be back

    Yes, it is an addiction when you spend more on boba than you do on groceries, and no, the options on Thayer St did not satisfy this addiction.

    *GLUTEN-FREE ALERT*…read more I'm just now learning what a Guatemalan quesadilla is & I want one every day for the rest of my life. Thankfully, we have Cafe Ava for that. A Guatemalan quesadilla is sorta like a cornbread or a pound cake or a piece of actual heaven. It's got a thick but soft texture, it's a little bit sweet & a little bit savory, & it's topped with sesame seeds. My mouth is watering just writing about it. Cafe Ava makes their Guatemalan quesadillas with rice flour, so they are gluten-free. GLUTEN FREE PERFECT LITTLE PIECES OF HEAVEN. Anyways, I know where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast.

I went with one of their most popular signature drinks, the tres leches iced latte. It was very sweet and tasty, but the sweetness was a bit overwhelming. My husband got the flan iced latte, and it was the same experience for him. The quality of the coffee itself seemed fairly good but just a bit sweet per personal preference. I didn't get the chance to try their food. That being said, if you have a sweet tooth, this is a perfect spot to try. I'm planning to come back to try their food and a regular latte to really get a taste of what they offer. Location: This location is on the main street and is pretty artsy. It's a perfect spot for a coffee run or to meet up with friends. They have a really cool painting and overall aesthetic, and even a swing, which adds to the interior design and makes it cozy and unique. There is also parking in the back of the building. If that is full, street parking is available and easy to access. Service: The service was quick and efficient. We spoke to the barista who was making our coffees, and they took our order and prepared our drinks in a timely manner. I will be coming back because I feel like I need to try the food and more latte options!

The inside is small with only a few tables and some counter seating, but I really like the design choices they made. The plants mounted to the wall and natural light are nice. The baristas are super friendly as well. For food and drinks, I ordered the iced black sesame hojicha latte and I added ube cold foam, and the sausage egg and cheese biscuit breakfast sandwich. I really enjoy the drinks here. The hojicha latte was quite tasty, not too sweet, and the nuttiness of the sesame came through. I have also ordered a hot latte on my first visit, which enjoyed a lot. The milk was steamed nicely and the espresso was smooth. Something to note, is that there are no ceramic mugs here, which is a bummer. The big thing for me that was a disappointment was the breakfast sandwich. It really felt and tasted like a frozen sandwich that was popped in the microwave. The biscuit was soft and limp, the sausage was that processed patty, and the egg was a premade flat circle. Overall, I think the drinks and lattes are really good and I would totally stop in for a pick me up any time, but definitely skip the food.

A refrigerator case shows off their sweet offerings of breads, muffins and pastry along with a 'specials' menu board. A menu of drinks, breakfast sandwiches, salads, acai bowls and lunch sandwiches are over the order counter. Seats are metal at wood topped tables, both low and high tops along with some counter seating looking out over the parking area. I did not see the coffee beverage I wanted and ordered a flat white instead, along with a slice of lemon blueberry bread. I don't usually drink coffee with this much milk, but it was tasty and smooth so no complaints. The slice of lemon bread was very thick, sweet and flavorful. My SO ordered a breakfast sandwich which are available in many configurations. The sandwich is quite large, well presented and tasty. He also enjoyed a drip coffee with milk. Bus your own tables - a station is located next to the cashier. Parking is limited, but the new construction across the street is signed as their new location and it looks like there will be plenty of parking there when they move.

There's an assortment of baked goods and ample options to choose from. My favorite items are the croissants and cheese danish both very airy and enjoyable with a cup of coffee. There's definitely something for someone. With a family of croissant connoisseurs I always leave with a box filled with these crescent shaped goods and they're just as tasty at home. If you're looking for classic bakery and coffee combos Seven Stars Bakery will have something to give you that morning boost.

Super flaky and a lot of delicious flavor from the filling and garnishes. It was very busy when I stopped by midday. They were out of some items already (I missed out on trying the French onion croissant before they replaced it with another menu item). I did find a spot to sit outside but I can see it being even harder to find a seat during peak times. It's a bit off the beaten path yet it's known and popular for a reason. I'm looking forward to visiting again and trying more items and of course the coffee!

I was sold as soon as I read their menu and saw that they had a Halva latte. This is one of my favorites and I can only get it at cafes near Boston. If you haven't had it, it's a must try. Halva is a sweet confection that is sesame based. Brown Bee definitely delivered on this one. I hope it stays on the menu! My wife had a pistachio latte that is made with homemade pistachio syrup. It was 10/10. We didn't plan on eating, but we did end up getting one of their cinnamon rolls with a homemade cream cheese frosting. It was fantastic! They have plenty of seating and although we waited inline, there were several seats available and we got to enjoy our drinks and cinnamon roll. This place is worth the wait in line. We will be going back again this weekend. I want to try the everything croissant with cream cheese baked inside! We may also try one of their breakfast sandwiches. My only recommendation is that they add little chalk boards for each of the croissants with what they are as they had to keep telling everyone what each one was. Still a 10/10.
