I had no idea a Gong Cha had opened here and when I went to the movies the other I was shocked and KNEW it needed to come here. I got the Taro smoothie and it was honestly very good. Service greeted us in when we walked in and we were able to order by touching a screen and paying there. I feel like Gong Cha is pretty consistent wherever you go. read more

6/6/26 I must admit, i'm not one to wait for more than 15 minutes for any kind of drink, hot or cold and for some reason, this one took at least 30 minutes, which is extraordinary for any kind of drink at all. Hence the 3 stars. The only 2 staff there, 2 young ladies were no slouch at all, they were slammed! They both moved with a purpose. It's a very small shop. There were 2 kiosks as soon as you walked in. I counted 11 customers including myself waiting for their drinks. No outdoor seating, only 3 small tables with 7 chairs, 1 bench that sat 4 adults, no restrooms. This used to a candy shop a while back. Normally I would take photos of the establishment but there were too many people inside & I did not want to bother them & include them in the photos, if I could help it at all. I ordered via kiosk coz the staff were ultra bz. Usually, I prefer the human interaction but not encountered at this visit. Got the taro smoothie for Hubby & got an iced mango green tea, both were decent. I liked my refreshing drink at 50 % sweetness level & easy on the ice. Next time, for any Gong Cha shop, will go on an odd time, not when it's prime time like weekends. It was good but waiting in a small shop for 30 minutes was long, if it was food for a party of 4 or more, I would've been more forgiving. Decor needs a little bit of work, nothing flashy, just, something, anything lol :-) read more

Gong Cha - 6/6/26. Hubby got his taro smoothie and I got mango green tea. That was very refreshing! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

All gongho for Gong Cha. This bubble tea spot does it all. Their menu includes options like milk teas, fruit teas, and even energizing beverages. They also have mochi desserts for anyone seeking a small bite. I wanted to try something a little different and ordered the yogurt passionfruit fruit tea with boba. The drink was light and refreshing, but possibly a little too sweet for me. Either way though, I gulped this bad boy up while walking the many isles of Barnes & Noble. Looking forward to exploring more of their extensive tea menu. read more

Amazing service, one gal running the whole packed store on her own with the biggest smile, so patient (my 1st time) and so helpful! 9 guests ahead of me. I ordered something with Matcha and Boba, so refreshing, not overly iced like most places, not overly sweetened; perfection! I really enjoyed it on my walk back to the marina. Not overly priced either. Love the ambiance, so many cute trinkets to purchase. I will definitely return! read more

This is a tiny boba shop at the Marina Pacifica near the movie theater. Plan to take your drinks to-go because there's nowhere to sit and chat. My peach yogurt had an odd sweet taste and it was also too sweet at 50% sweetness. Their service was great! The guy working last Wednesday in the afternoon was very kind and quick to make my drink. This place is worth another shot. read more

Gentleman at the counter was super sweet and quick at making drinks! I came in for the Felix PCs and he offered to trade my duplicates so I could complete the set :) The drinks were also delicious!!

Gong Cha - Brown sugar boba milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I learned I'm just not a Gong Cha person, HOWEVER, boy paper somehow has a chokehold on me and I came here after buying the stray kids dominate blu ray from Barnes and noble. The owner (?) was really nice and let me pick a couple of the open Felix photocards from the display even though the promotion had ended! It was such a great experience! I had also gotten the new cupsleeve as well! Will be back! read more

There were a lot of options that looked so good, I ended getting the Mango Green Tea with boba it was so refreshing especially during a hot day. I loved how the inside looked I love the vibe in it, and AC was really comfortable. The service was amazing, the workers were really friendly and respectful, I would come here again it's really friendly and an over all good vibe! read more

Went into this place and ordered two normal drinks. We were the only people here and it took them 20 minutes to make them. The girl working on shift at 9pm on Saturday the 8th was on her phone talking to someone on speaker the whole time, leaving the dude working to work by himself, who also got the order wrong. Not a great first time. read more

Newer Boba spot in Marina Pacifica. Very small place but organized. Parking is usually easy in this area. Service is ordering off the Kiosk (there are two to order from). We were greeted by someone in the back (at least two people were working the back area). We figured out quickly just to order off the kiosk vs waiting at the counter. Our drinks were very slow to come out. A party waiting in front of us (4 drinks) and then us (3 drinks) and two other single parties came in. The drinks are bit higher priced vs other Boba placed in Long Beach. We ordered two Thai Ice Teas, with added pearls (and up charge) and one Early Gray Milk Tea. All drinks were ordered with 50% sweetness and 50% ice. Ice was perfect. Sweetness, all three thought too sweet and very thankful we did 50%! Pearls were just okay, and not many in our drinks. Taste was good but not amazing. For the price and wait, we had higher expectations. read more

I usually really enjoy Gong Cha--especially their Logan Honey drink, which is perfect for people who can't have caffeine. However, this particular location isn't as good as others I've been to. The drink itself was just okay, but the boba was disappointing both times I visited--mushy on the outside and hard in the center, which really took away the enjoyment. The shop is also quite small with very limited seating, 2 tables only and few bench seatings making it less comfortable if you plan to stay and enjoy your drink. There are two kiosks for ordering, but it still took a while to get the drink. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and welcoming! If not because I wanted some drink before the movie , we probably wouldn't even come here.. read more

Gong Cha is a boba franchise that originally started in 2006 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. They have over 1,000+ locations worldwide and they just opened a new location here in Long Beach. I'm more surprised that it took me this long to finally try Gong Cha for the very 1st time. [Parking]: Easy and free parking - this plaza is pretty dead. [Amenities]: No restroom indoor and was told by cashier that restroom access is via AMC next door. Small indoor space with two tables and two outdoor patios. Honestly this is mostly a take-out spot. [Menu]: Customers can order in person or via kiosk machines. Some of more popular drinks are Earl Grey Fresh Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. I was surprised to see kiosk machines provided automatic recommendation on sweetness level for my drink. *** Earl Grey Tea (medium, recommended 50% sweetness): Right sweetness level, but the drink just didn't hit the spot. *** Overall this is an alright tea shop - think of this shop as a convenient tea shop to stop by in this part of the town & I wouldn't drive out of the way for it. read more

This little cafe is wedged in to the Marina Pacifica shopping center on the AMC theaters and Howard's Appliances side. There should be plenty of parking available on any given day and they are open late (which is great news when you randomly have a boba craving and other places are closed). I've typically ordered their version of the brown sugar milk with boba and while the pearls are on the softer side of what I prefer, prices for a medium drink feel reasonable ($6ish). You can order from the kiosk to expedite if you're really thirsty! The interactions I've had with staff have been friendly - smiles when order is called, compliments on my little dog - and I will likely come back to perhaps try a caffeinated drink one of these days when I'm not rolling in before midnight! read more

Kiosk order vs. personal order - there's a great debate on which is preferred. While I believe kiosks are the way of the future, they lack the personal touch of interacting with the shop staff. What could have taken me less than a minute to order by asking the cashier for their top preferences, I ended up browsing through the kiosk back and forth, trying to decide what to order. Although I could have easily walked over to the cashier and asked, I was captivated by the colorful and cheery flavors displayed on the big screen. I ordered MANGO MILK from their Slush Series. It came out creamy with chunks of visible mango pieces throughout the drink. The flavor was acceptable, but I thought the price was pretty steep at nearly $8. Total time spent browsing through the kiosk: 5 minutes. Waiting period: less than 2 minutes. read more

Gong Cha - Mango Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

Located in the Marina Pacifica plaza next to the AMC theater. Plenty of parking. We came here right after eating at Beasties. The inside is small. They have only like two table and a few chairs. It's fine though because we like to order to go. We ordered off the kiosk. The service was quick as the drink came out shortly after. We just ordered a large oolong milk tea to share and it was good. We got the recommended half sweet and it was pretty sweet. I don't mind it but I wouldn't get any more than that. Also, I forgot to take a picture of the drink. Woops. I saw that they have the snowman bottle so I want to get that next time. Also, I saw the milk tea biscoff on their screen and it looks yummy too so it's on my list to try! Will be back. read more

Very small boba shop near the AMC theatre and it's decorated so cute! Not only do they have a variety of drinks and seasonal drinks but they also sell blind boxes and keychains! The barista was kind and it seems like a one-man-show behind the counter. No real seating area with tables - it's more of a to-go stop read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

I am a boba lover, and ive tried many many tea shops. And I would have to say after coming here. At gongcha long beach location, it was such an amazing experiences. I am not from around here it was my first time visiting long beach so when I came here, I didnt know what to get. I couldn't get there name but they're were such nice workers that help me out and recommend me some of thier popular drink and buddy it was so hard to choose. I eneded up getting the creme brulle brown sugar milk tea and their qq passion fruit. I love how the brown sugar compliments the creme brulle and the sugar on top makes it 10x better. And the qq passionfruit is sooo refreshing especially on the hot summer day, and the boba was nice and chewy not to soft or hard just right. The workers were so so nice and patient with me . Overall I love the area this place is it right by the beach and movies etc.. nice little spot to either grab a quick drink, study or overall hangout. Love this place absolute vibeee . I would definitely recommend coming here at gongcha long beach. read more

Not good. got two teas one fruit one milk. Both don't taste good.waste of money. ............

I hadn't been in this area for a few years and was surprised find out that there was a Gong Cha here! But, it was a perfect place to grab a warm drink before heading into the Barnes and Nobles to browse and look for some books/gifts. Overall, not a bad experience. The shop is small. There is some space for people to hang out inside at smaller tables, but not a lot of room. It was decorated with plenty of cute little things that made me want to get more random stuff that I don't actually need (or have room for at my place). My friend and I ordered at the kiosk, but the description for each drink was somewhat lacking. I had to double check with the barista before finally deciding on what I wanted. I got a hot longan drink while my friend got some very hot tea. I ordered less sweet as I always do, but the drink was somewhat lacking in any flavor. The longan drink is usually lighter in flavor, but this was very light. My friend enjoyed her drink. Not a five star review since I think it would have been a lot more helpful for the kiosk to have more description as what I was originally interested in turned out not to be what I actually wanted. Having to flag down a worker and checking with them (they were pretty busy) to figure out what was in the drink defeats the purpose of having a self-ordering kiosk. read more

I come here all the time and it's hands down my favorite boba spot in Long Beach! Every drink I've had has been amazing, and everyone I've referred here ends up loving it too. My personal favorite is the black tea with milk foam. It's so good and always perfectly balanced. My boyfriend is obsessed with their refresher drinks, so we're both always excited to come back. They also have a really great points system, which means I'm constantly earning free drinks (always a win!). I've tried a lot of different boba places since moving to Long Beach, and this one is definitely the best I've had. The drinks are consistently great and the experience is always worth coming back for. Highly recommend! read more

Gong Cha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Long Beach, California

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Delicious tea drinks and friendly service. I'd been to other Gong Cha locations and had liked their drinks, and decided to treat myself after a walk around the area. I remembered the storefront from when it used to be the candy store, but the interior felt way smaller--I guess all the tea-making equipment takes up a lot of room? It was also really hot in the store, which was rather uncomfortable after my walk--I didn't linger. They had self-ordering terminals but I put in my order with a staff member because I had some questions. I got the Earl Grey milk tea with creme brûlée foam, which was really delicious and decadent. Service was friendly, the prices reasonable--I will be back for more. read more
