I waited half an hour for the boba store to open at 11AM and the door was still locked at 11:05AM. We knocked and the employee (heavy set Hispanic male) told us that he wouldn't serve us until 11:30AM because he just started cooking the boba and that moving forward, we should come at 11:30AM if we want to be served. There were 2 other girls waiting also who were turned away. It's such a shame because I typically love Gong Cha chains. read more

Stopped here for a bubble tea - the staff was all missing from the front and came out when I knocked on the plexiglass by the register - I guess short staffed at 3:30p on weekdays? The tea was so-so, not strong, not sweet, just ...meh? Bubbles were somewhat chewy but lacked any sweetness. I've had better bubble tea. All the seating is closed off, just a pickup area available now. read more

The staff is experienced and efficient. read more

Gong cha is a pretty solid and reliable spot to get some tasty bubble tea. They have both regular and milks teas and very good boba. The cups are pretty standard as well. I have had great experiences here and do enjoy their different types of teas. I also like you can customize the teas to how you like. There is something for everyone here. I highly recommend it! Their star fruit tea is great! read more

Gong Cha - Inside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

I've been wanting to try bubble tea for the absolute longest so I figured it was time. There were 2 ladies working in this establishment when I arrived to place my order. I placed an order for 2 of my children and myself. I've never been to a bubble tea place before nor have I ever tasted it. I asked questions and still had a bit of trouble understanding how ordering works and what comes in the tea. The one young lady appeared to be slightly frustrated with me and my questions. Once I explained to her that I've never had bubble tea, she seemed to soften up a bit. The other young lady was very kind and patient from the beginning. Her name was Mia. I bought 3 drinks - a total of about $20 because I had some extras mixed in. Unfortunately the order got mixed up and I didn't realize it until I got home. Tasting the tea was interesting. I liked that it was creamy and sweet but I did not like the bubbles. Fun fact: those little bubbles are made up of tapioca. It's a starch packed with sugar and calories. Some 16 oz teas containing as much as 440 calories depending on what's served. After tasting just a few of those not so tasty balls (they taste like flour *yuck.*) I poured my tea out. My son agreed. He did not like his bubbles in the tea either. My daughter on the other hand was drinking a citrus drink no bubbles. She was okay with her drink. All in all, I would not buy this tea again. It's overpriced, and doesn't appeal to my taste buds. read more

2 years later and this place is still doing it right. Had the Thai tea latte bubble tea (made with oat milk) and it was super. Love how this tea tastes fresh and not artificial. Many cheap bubble teas are overly sweet and leave a bad taste behind. But I love how you can choose the ice and sweetness amount. Great spot! I wish it was closer to me. read more

Gong Cha's my go-to Boba place. Consistently great drinks, and quick service. My favorite drink is the Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/ Regular Sugar, Light Ice, and pearls. read more

Gong Cha - Dirty Brown Sugar Fresh Milk W/ Milk Foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

Meets ALL of the hype around this store. I got the Earl Grey bubble tea and was WOWED with every sip. Not too little or too much boboa and did not feel overwhelmed by the flavor. A great addition to the scene in downtown Millburn. The shop uses fresh tea leaves that you can see stored in beautiful glass cases and reassures you that they use the best ingredients. Super authentic bubble tea! Easy to order, pick up, and COVID friendly :) read more

Gong Cha - Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3 Js - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

Decent bubble tea spot in the area they took over the old kung fu location. I enjoy my drink just wish they had a bit more variety of options and toppings read more

The bubble tea at Gong Cha is consistent, reliable, and good. It does seem to be decently more expensive than Kung Fu Tea and the portions feel pretty small. The green tea itself is great, not bitter or over-brewed. I ordered a honey green tea ($6) and after adding the pearl and herbal jelly, it was over $8! Maybe it's more worth it if you get the fancy foam or slush drinks that they have to make but it is definitely overpriced for a basic green tea that they are pouring into a cup. While I enjoyed my drink and the boba and jelly were good, I definitely could get a green tea elsewhere for less than $3. read more

My wife went here 2 weeks ago, used a credit card and was told the transaction didn't go thru so she used a second card, no problem. She then found that both charges went thru, she went back and was told by the person behind the counter that the first transaction was voided and she should receive a refund within a few days... Didn't happen. She went back and then was told " nothing we can do about it, call your bank" why not just give her another drink no charge, which she suggested, she was then told " oh we can't do that" that was their final decision. So now there's bank calls to make to settle a $6.00 charge. Really Gong cha? This was a regular stop for both my wife and daughter, at least twice a week each. Kung Fu yes gains two new customers read more

Gong cha is one of my favorite bubble tea chains so I'm ecstatic that it has made it's way to downtown Millburn. My favorite dessert drink here is pretty much anything from their dirty brown sugar line. The brown sugar drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so I usually go with 50% sugar. Staff is friendly and efficient. My new favorite local bubble tea shop!! read more

Food is consistent to the brand. Service is prompt. Ambiance is clean and easy. You can order and pick up.

This is my go to bubble tea place within Essex county! They don't have much competition compared to other areas, but there is a Kungfu Tea down the street. They only have street parking, but it's not too hard to find a spot, even on a Sunday afternoon. (Also, it's free street parking on Sundays!) I've gone a couple times so far and they've always been consistent with their drinks. I know bubble tea is more of a dessert drink, but if you don't like it too sweet you should definitely get 30%. It'll still be sweet, but it won't be too overwhelming. My only complaint is that there isn't much space inside, not a huge problem during the pandemic, but it will be when we can drink indoors again. Although they don't have much control over it, since it's in downtown Millburn, I hope they can get creative with the space in the future. read more

I was checking out hot and new restaurants nearby when I saw Gongcha in the list! This tea chain has been my ultimate favorite even back home in Manila. I've tried Gongcha in Manila, Seoul and NYC - I've always been fascinated with their consistency with that certain real tea flavor. I'm glad there's one here in NJ now. This Millburn branch still lived up to my Gongcha expectations! I always order Earl Grey with 3Js, while my husband ordered Earl Grey with pearls. The pearls were cooked well and with the right consistency! Grass Jelly and pudding had very good flavor too. The store was very clean and with guidelines that only 6 people can stay indoors, just for order and take out (due to covid). We actually tried to order via their mobile ordering but couldn't find the Millburn branch in the chat tool. Hope they come up with a mobile app too! read more

When I visited they were doing to-go only, so no seating. I got what I expected in my order, and the sugar levels matched the drink well. I hope they can open up more of the indoor location, I think there's some good potential for a sit-down area. read more

Best boba place ever!!! Pearls are beautifully chewy and delicious and the milk foam dirty brown sugar milk tea is my go to.

Milk tea was really watered down compared to other Gong Cha locations. This is my favorite bubble tea chain, so I hope they get better. Will check again in couple weeks. read more

I'm so excited that Gong Cha opened in Millburn as it truly is the BEST bubble tea shop! The teas taste like real brewed tea rather than overly sugary teas. The boba topping are fresh and really delicious! The woman working there really knows her teas as she has been with the company opening up the Montclair location and. Is Millburn. Go now as they are running. 2 for 1 specials! read more

Gong cha! The best boba in summit NJ. The brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls is amazing. So are are their scrumptious jelly's, and add in's. I haven't had any bad boba drinks from gong cha, so far and I've tried at lest half of their drinks on the menu. Their all so good. It's an amazing bubble tea place!!! #boba forever Noa S. read more

Gong Cha is always a favorite of mine. I'd prefer coming here over Kung fu Tea as their bubbles seem to always be consistent in texture and flavor. As I've gotten older, I prefer my bubble tea less sweet, and this place makes it just right. I don't usually get the same drinks every time. There are days where I want to change it up. However, my favorites are the dirty brown sugar milk tea, regular milk tea, and the earl grey. read more

Gong Cha is obviously the spot to get wavy drinks. If you're trying to get on the wave for fire drinks you have to try the taro milk drink! The drinks here are so much better than the artificial tasting drink at Kung Fu tea. read more

Gong Cha - Such a nice display - Bubble Tea Near Me - Millburn, New Jersey

I think that this place's bubble tea is consistently very good. My sister and I come here frequently and are never disappointed by the drinks. However, when I took a sip of my bubble tea today, I was absolutely horrified when I felt something scratch the top of my mouth. I promptly spat it out (sorry, tmi) and the object was a thin strand of metal that was the consistency of a twist tie (it was hard and bendy, see pics below). I could have easily choked on it or worse and the experience was scary to say the least. As much as I love this location, I'm now scared to come back in the future. read more

Perfectly delicious bubble teas. We had 6 different types and each of us thoroughly enjoyed our bubble teas. My personal favorite is the taro heart jelly- light and refreshing. Thank you. read more

Gong Cha is my FAVORITE bubble tea chain. Their pearls are way better than the competition and their tea is so good. Although it is expensive, the quality makes up for it. I really enjoy their earl grey milk tes with 3 Js which has pudding, herbal jelly, and pearls. I also like the brown sugar milk tea. read more

2 stars reduction for consistently poor service and attitude. For example, when they get our order wrong, they offer absolutely zero apology and refuse to correct it. This has happened on multiple occasions. As a result, we end up with a good drink, but not what we asked for. However, the quality of drinks and the boba are good compared to other places in this area. read more

I prefer Gongcha over Kung Fu Tea. friendly staff and I can go here instead of going to Edison.

Walked in at 7:46 when they have a closing time of 8:00 and was told they stop taking orders at 7:45... I then asked if she was really cutting me off for being a minute past and she told me they were sold out even though they were clearly still bagging called in orders. read more

Great drinks but there's only one person working so there's a long wait! The same person takes orders and makes drinks! If they want to stay in business they should have more than one person work there especially during peak hours! read more

Visited this Gong Cha while in NJ and no comparison to the one at home in SoFL. I ordered the taro milk tea and even though I asked for 50% sugar it was so sweet that I could not drink it. read more

Goto place for bubble tea. They let you customize sugar levels and have tons of options

I like this place better than Kung Fu Tea. The tapioca pearls are softer and chewy, unlike Kung Fu Tea where it's a hit or miss. I am so glad they opened a Gong Cha in Millburn. I used to drive to Montclair to get it, but now I don't have to travel as far. Great bubble tea! I suggest the Strawberry Matcha Latte Bubble Tea with Boba! read more

I happen to look for a bubble tea place like when I go to China town. This place is amazing. The tea and all their drinks taste so much better than other bubble tea in town. Price is reasonable and the staff that works here are courteous , mindful and has great customer service. I ordered multiple times already from this place and never fails me. I would recommend this place. read more

best bubble tea!!! try the dirty brown sugar with less sugar (it's still sweet) and bubbles. It's the best!!!!!
