    Pumpkin Spice Milk Tea w/ Milk Foam and Pearls
    Michael S.

    Went here today and tried their Pumpkin Spice Milk tea with milk Foam. It was delicious and the service was fast. I got their snoopy blind box drink too. Definitely love the quiet environment. Seasonal drinks are the best.

    Dragon Fruit Oolong Lemonade Tea with Dragon Fruit Crisps

    Ordered at the kiosk after walking around the mall . Choose from their new items . The dragonfruit lemonade is a perfect sweet refresher and the crispy chunks add a bit of texture . The drink came out promptly.

    oof can't remember the exact names but one is a green tea boba and the other was Strawberry Lemonade yogurt

    first tried gong cha in california and loved it. was very happy to see providence get one. super easy to order and so much customization. i ended up ordering something that wasn't even technically on the menu but they made it happen. seating inside is good for a break from walking through the mall. same good boba prices you'll find at other gong cha locations.

    Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Katie B.

    For a "mall" location, it was surprisingly quiet. The drinks were made quickly and correctly. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea at 50% sugar. Even at 50% the tea was quite sweet. The tables were sticky and littered with small pieces of trash. Considering there were two employees in the front and only two customers, I found the dirty tables a bit unexpected. The price was average for a bubble tea location. I would likely stop again if shopping, but I wouldn't come out of my way to this location just for a drink.

    I was a bit worried before ordering because of the review. Drink - I ordered the oolong milk tea with pearl/boba. The milk tea was good, I would drink it again. I didn't change the sweetness and it seems like the default was 75% which was good. As for the boba, it was not good. It felt old, and not chewy. The texture was weird as well. I am unsure whether I will get their boba again but drink itself was fine. The staff was quick and nice. The drink came out very quick as well. The store itself had some tables and seats inside. It was also near the food court so I don't think the seating is an issue.

    Milk Foam Wintermelon
    Megan H.

    I've always enjoyed Gong Cha because of its consistency, and some nostalgia factor because it was one of the first actual boba places that I started going to in California when I was younger. I try to get a new drink every time I go to try everything on their menu. I got the milk foam wintermelon tea with boba, and even with 75% sugar, the tea was too sweet. I would recommend going down to 50% if you're getting something like wintermelon. However, the milk foam was a delicious addition as always and the boba was nice and chewy. They initially forgot my boba, but the employee was kind and immediately made me a new drink when I mentioned it to him!

    Delicious bubble tea flavours, customer service is impeccable & the shop itself is very minimalist & aesthetic at the same time. Not very crowded unless you come during the rush hours and the busy days.

    If there's Gong Cha I'm gonna get some. I'm currently on ease with the honey lemon green tea. It's not to sweet and refreshing

    Always stop in whenever in the providence area. Wife is huge in boba teas. Little pricey than other boba places I go to but still worth it.

    To be honest, I was originally going to Kung Fu Tea, but I found a parking spot right in front of…read moreTen One Tea House so I took it as a sign to try something new. I went in with a craving for something sweet, creamy, and cold, but ended up going for something light and fruity: the peach Yakuit slush. It was only $0.80 more to go from a medium to a large so I went for it and also added aloe for $1. The total was around $7-$8. I did use one of the two kiosks they have since it was my first time there and I wanted to take my time exploring the menu. It was super easy to use, only accepts card payments, and will send you a text when the order was placed and when it's ready. While I waited, I took in the details of the place, including the soft pastel colors and also the theme of squirrels which are one of my favorite animals. I liked the art on the walls, and they've used the space well with some tables along the window looking out to Thayer street, while others hugging the entrance ramp. I did not interact with the staff but they looked like they were killing it behind the counter to push out orders in a timely manner. When I did get my order, I thought it was pretty with a rose pink slush, bright pieces of peaches, and bottom layer of white aloe. I tried shaking it a bit to try to mix it up but it didn't work too well. They have straws with a thick opening to get the chunks through. The slush was very flavorful and a good consistency.

    Rating: 4.5 I've…read morebeen meaning to try this place for a while but decided to try because i passed by and was in the area. It's a small tea shop in providence that offer toppings such as boba and sides like taiwanese chicken. They offer different tea toppings like boba, crystal, jelly, ..etc and also sweetness, milk substitute and ice options. Parking is street parking only and can be difficult to find during busy time. Inside is nicely decorated and has good aesthetic. Seatings are limited so I would not expect to find one unless you are lucky. I guess the name of the place is derived from cha which means tea in Chinese and Daruma who is a founder of zen Buddhism. They have a mascot who looks like Buddha holding a bubble tea. I ended up ordering black milk tea with boba and taiwanese popcorn chicken with seaweed and salt/pepper. Tea came out right away and was pretty good. Good tea flavor but maybe a bit too sweet. Boba is home made and its nice and chewy and no inconsistency. I would do 75% sugar and less ice next time for my liking. Taiwanese popcorn chicken was juicy and flavorful. We also got lucky with seating so we sat down to enjoy their food and drink. Service was good and no issues. Overall the place is pretty good. I think everything was good quality and definitely one of the better tea/fried chicken place around RI. If it was in more convenient location I would definitely come back often but I would likely only stop by if I'm already around the area. I did like the place.

    Charuma has pretty decent teas/boba, but the service has been bad every visit. The usual wait after…read moreordering has been 20+ minutes. They are also out of ingredients sometimes, including their house made bubbles. On my most recent visit, they messed up my order too. I think the drinks are good, but the service and overall experience is frustrating. My only guess is that I go towards the end of the day (5ish), potentially during a "rush", so I am going to try earlier in the day to see if there is a difference.
