I go to this location a little too often as it is a quick 5 minute drive from my apartment They have a lot of seating, and this makes it great for long study sessions (which is usually why I'm there). Some of the tables have booth seating, and the booths are really comfortable. It can get a little busy later in the day when a lot of folks are stopping by, but nothing that a pair of headphones can't fix. My 1 star off is for the electric outlets - quite a few of them don't work, which can be frustrating if you're there for a few hours for studying As for the food and drink... it's Gong Cha, an international chain, so it will be as you expect from any other location. I find that Gong Cha has some of the most "tea" tasting tea ever. The hibiscus tea, for example, tastes exactly like freshly brewed tea, without any artificial flavored syrups. And recently, I've gotten very obsessed with their croffles, which are the perfect blend of crispy and gooey sweetness read more

This place was packed at 3pm. I just ordered a Taro boba and its delish. Also in the video is totoro donuts and Korean hot dogs that's just around the corner from Gong cha Go get you one! read more

I love their milk teas, this review is for their croffle....do not, I repeat DO NOT order it. I ordered a crème brûlée croffle and got a bubble waffle with no sugar topped with cheese foam. It was disgusting...not edible and definitely not a croffle. I'll just stick to the teas read more

Looks like they've revamped the interior recently! It's way more welcoming with brown leather booths and seats on one side. The other side's chairs have been placed with cushions as well. The environment is much more conducive to socializing now. You can sit comfortably here for several hours if you need to be productive. First time trying their brown sugar milk tea. Not a connoisseur of this drink by any means, but I approve. The creamy consistency accentuates the sweetness of the brown sugar. The boba's texture is softer than most places I've visited but it works well with this particular drink. I recommend asking for 50% sweetness. Even at that level, the drink was sweet enough. Given their recent redesign, I'd say that this is one of the nicer boba tee places to visit in Webster. It's buried on the edges of Baybrook mall's ugly sprawled out mess of a parking lot, but the inside tells a way different story. read more

The drinks are amazing but tell me why it's taking an hour for my drinks to be prepared when I ordered two creme brûlée when I'm door-dashing it and it STILL hasn't arrived I ordered it at 5:54 and it's not arriving until 6:40? Hurry it up I'm thirsty read more

Gong Cha is hard to find, it's packed into a small strip by the busy Bay Area highway. Their interior is classy mixed with modern. The staff are wonderful and their prices aren't bad. Gong Cha has a vast variety of drinks; tea, milk tea, coffee, tea lattes and slushes. There's free Wi-Fi and their seats are quite comfortable. There are no savory snacks, but their waffle cones and croffles are delicious. I'd come back to Gong Cha again when I'm in Bay Area sometime. read more

I really enjoy a lot of their milk teas and smoothies. The only one that wasn't that great was the matcha latte. It lacked matcha flavor. You can taste it, but it's not as prominent as others I've tried in the city. I would pass on that one and grab something else. The area is always clean, so that's good. The employees are nice. read more

Got the strawberry crembrule drink with boba. The boba balls fell apart a little too easily but the drink tasted good. Too much foam in the drink....took up half the cup :( service was fast and the decorations were very cute. read more

Service was lacking, as the worker running tbe register was not welcoming. There is also a discrepancy between the prices of toppings (we were charged $1 when the menu says $0.75. When we asked about the discrepancy, we were given no explanation. Aside from that, the store itself is very nice, clean, and calm. Plenty of seating areas with lots of natural light read more

A friend of mine recently introduced me to Gong Cha and I'm so glad she did because I plan to frequent this place. I took my husband there today and tried a different drink and a bubble waffle. It was warm and delicious. I shared with my husband, but I didn't want to lol. I'm looking forward to taking my mom and my sister next time. I definitely could see myself stopping by to try different drinks any time im in the area. I like that they have some seasonal drinks, but since they're limited time I guess I'll just have to go more often lol. I highly recommend the bubble waffle if you want a snack. The Strawberry Mille cake is also good. I haven't tried any other food, but every drink I've had has been a winner. read more

Gong Cha - Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Crème Brûlée Brown Sugar Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Friendswood, Texas

I used to love ordering here everytime I was in the area, but in the last couple of times that ive ordered the drinks have been tasteless and unsweet. even after adding 70% sugar. Not ordering again anytime soon honestly. very sad because they used to be amazing I dont know what happened. read more

Calm and quiet place to study! Nice and friendly staff. Def my go to place ! Very clean

Have waited forever to try Gong Cha and it definitely is worth the hype. It's always exciting to have a new boba place open up in the Clear Lake area. Interior is spacious, clean, and airy. Plenty of seating for study dates and hangouts when COVID subsides. Quiet music. I got the dirty brown sugar boba in the Medium size with no pearls. The cost was over $5! That's super expensive for what essentially is a small drink with no toppings, but it was tasty and rich. I usually get my drinks with light ice and full sweetness. It is comparable to Happy Lemon in California. I wish the cashier made it look more visually appealing with the streaks on the side as she did with the customer after me who ordered the same exact thing, but there are always discrepancies in customer service & disappointments that come with any experience. We also got the fresh taro milk, Filipino mango coconut, and Thai tea latte. Thai tea latte is basically just a regular Thai tea and it was $6!!! Skip this if you come here, it is average at best and definitely not worth the price tag. Overall, cute shop and good drinks, but if the prices go any higher it is difficult to make this a regular go-to stop :( read more

Everytime I visit my sister in ATX we make a stop at Gong Cha. So you can only imagine my excitement when they opened up outside Baybrook mall...ahhhhhhhh!!! We have quite a bit of boba places in the area but this place is my #1 go to. So many option and consistently delicious! You can adjust your sugar level on most drinks and not all boba places give you that option. Everything I order I add tapioca but you can order without or other different jellies. So I don't over indulge i always order the medium. There are no small size. Drinks: Taro milk latte: caffeine free option. If you are a taro fan like me then this is a must try. Soooo delicious! My big plus, I love, is getting small taro pieces with tapioca on almost each sip...now I am wanting one as I type this. This is on a taro series so unsure if they will have it permanently or if this will be a limited offer. My advice - don't wait too long! You can adjust the sugar level on this drink Strawberry matcha latte: I am also a matcha fan so a combination with strawberry was a must try for me. No disappointment here! The combination was perfect and it didn't last my whole 15 minutes to drive home. Hehe. Matcha isn't bitter but you get the matcha flavor and you definitely taste the strawberry. There is not an option to adjust the sugar level on the drink. Milk foam dirty brown sugar milk tea: I did not consume this one but being the good friend that I am, I ordered it for my friend who I was meeting for lunch and has no boba places near her. She loved it! *Hint* when you can I usually order light on the ice so that I get more liquid goodness. Who wants ice to take up space!? Bring on just a little more boba and liquid. Haha Food: Matcha bubble waffle: first off, they mention matcha - yes! Second, waffles - I love waffles! Third, bubble - who doesn't want to jazz up their waffles in a cute bubble shape!? Served warm and every bite was worth every penny! There are 2 other flavors but to be honest with you I couldn't tell you what they are because when I saw matcha...game over! Eventually I will venture off and try the other flavors but until then matcha bubble waffle!!!!!! read more

Gong Cha near Baybrook Mall has taken the top spot when it comes to tapioca shops in Southeast Houston, it's no contest! With its modern looking interior, and wide selection of drinks, Gong Cha is here to stay for a long time. If it's your first time here, I recommend any of their "Top 10" most popular drinks. They make the top 10 list for a reason. I like that they allow you to get your drink hot/cold, adjust your sugar level, adjust your ice level, and choose whatever toppings you like (boba being the most popular of course). Personally my favorite drinks include their strawberry milk tea, lemon ai-yu white pearl tea, or their milk foam dirty brown sugar milk tea. I always go 50% sugar and less ice on all my drinks as well. Right now the store is quite busy cause they still have all the hype of their grand opening, but once the craze dies down a bit, I can see this being a great spot to study or get some work done. They have a good number of tables, chairs, and about 5-6 different outlets available if I remember correctly. Plus free wifi is available as well. I will definitely be back here soon to satisfy my tapioca obsession! read more

This was the BEST tea I have ever had! I got the medium taro tea with boba pearls and the original waffle. Super clean place and fast service. I have tried so many boba places in the area/around Houston, and this is by far the best. The flavor of the tea was something that set this place apart from other places. The boba (pearls here) were cooked to perfection! Will be back! Great pick me up if you are near Baybrook Mall shopping. read more

Good selection and I have to say the boba is pretty top notch being super fresh. We got a strawberry milk tea and a brown sugar tea. Both very sweet but at least unique. I had to take the rating down a bit for the really long wait. There were a pretty decent number of people showing up, but for whatever reason, our order got mixed up and we ended up waiting nearly half an hour before we could get everything to us. I also asked for less ice but it was pretty full of ice, but by then, I really didn't want to wait longer. Maybe we just missed with a busy day, and honestly, I would go try again. They did seem to have a bunch of options at the counter that weren't obvious until you get up to the front, so those might be worth trying. Prices are higher than average for a drink here but the quality does seem to be on par. read more

Finally another boba shop here in Bay Area! Got a chance to catch the soft opening with discounts being 20%off. Ordered my usual Lemon Wintermelon with basil seeds, and the tea itself is very good and refreshing but would recommend ordering 80% sweetness but I am used to more lemon in my drink from other locations. Other than that there's a lot of staff on hand to prep for their grand opening this weekend and are super polite & helpful! Very excited to make this my designated for future studying spot once they get WiFi going here! read more

I wanted to like this place a bit more than I actually did. First, let me say it was well kept and quite clean. Second, there were a lot of options and pricing was pretty well on par with other similar establishments. I guess the only drawback for me was really the flavor just wasn't there. I know people swear by it so I am going to give it another try in hopes the choice I made just wasn't the best flavor option for me. Hopefully I will be able to update with higher review. read more

Honestly, I'm so glad we're finally having more boba places in this area! I get tired of having to drive all the way to Chinatown for my boba cravings, when I live closer to the Clear Lake/Webster area. If you're not really sure what drink to get from here, I HIGHLY recommend the wintermelon milk tea. I get it with 50% sugar, less ice, and regular boba. It still tastes pretty sweet and delicious! My sister likes to get the Earl grey milk tea with 3 J's, and it's one of their specialty drinks from there. It includes egg pudding, regular boba, and grass jelly. I drank a bit of it, and it was pretty good! I haven't really tried any of the other drinks yet, but I think I would like to try one of the strawberry drinks next time! They looked pretty good. read more

The drinks never disappoints me. Every one I've tried was really good and it's always busy on weekends

Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea! That's all you need to know. You can thank me later!! This is my go to spot in the Friendswood Area!

It's alright. I got the oolong milk tea. Doesn't really taste like oolong. The tapioca was good, sweet and soft. Also bought the matcha waffles but it was super cold when I got it. Overall subpar but I might give it a go again and try other boba favorites. The place itself is the normal size for a boba place. A few tables and some university kids studying but it's pretty loud. read more

Drinks are good but sooo overpriced. Service is so so. I was really shocked to pay over $7 for the mango milk tea with boba. Adding boba cost $0.75 versus $0.50 at almost any other bubble tea place. Convenient location in the area! read more

Always loved Gongcha. Had it for the first time in the Philippines, then I realized that they had some chains here in America as well. They recently opened this location in the Webster/Friendswood area near Bay Brook Mall. It's right across another favorite place of mine, 85 Degrees Bakery. I went here and had several of their drinks - the creme brulee brown sugar milk tea, coconut brown sugar milk tea, the creme brulee strawberry latte, and their strawberry matcha latte. All drinks were delicious and refreshing. There are so many "series" to choose from, it's kind of overwhelming at first, but I guarantee - all are really good. You won't be disappointed with whatever choice you make. Definitely making this place my go-to for milk tea, though it does tend to get crowded. read more
