This Gong Cha kiosk has alot to offer for such a small spot. Very Friendly and Helpful Staff too left Me totally impressed with this entire operation. I am admittedly late to the Milk Tea drink party. Throughout the years I've seen alot of My Amazing Yelp Friends enjoying and posting pics of their interesting and delicious looking concoctions. Recently I told one of My Closest Yelp Friends Pamela L. aka Ms. Bobalicious that this is finally the year that I'm gonna try one of these fancy shmancy drinks. Funny thing is I do believe I've told Her this same thing year after year after year. I'm sure She was like "yeah Bill, sure You are"  Hey, I may have some procrastination issues when it comes to trying new things okay, but I'm working on it. Lol!!    I'm working on it Reeeeal Gooood. So Good in fact that I took a trip to this Gong Cha Shop over at the Mall which is the closest Bubble Tea place I could find. Just for the record this drink menu is a bit confusing and I'm glad I looked at it before stopping in so I already knew what I wanted. Now I hear some people say they tried Milk Tea and they hated it but I wonder if that was just because, with all the options available maybe they just didn't order correctly to their specific tastes. I can see where You could easily go way too sweet here if not properly Coached. Thank You Ms. Bobalicious!! I found My Strawberry Milk Tea to be Very Delicious as it kinda reminded Me of Nestlé's Strawberry Quick with a mouth full of Gummy Bears and Strawberry Preserves mixed in. Definitely an interesting combination of flavors and textures which although weird at first got increasingly better with every sip and I'll go so far as to say I Really Really Liked It.     I liked it so much that I'm probably gonna have to come up with a catchy nick name like Wyld Boba Bill, or Magic Matcha Man, or Baddass Bubbles Billy, or Rocky Bilboba, or . . or . .  actually Ya know what? I think I'm Good. And I'll just leave those killer nick names up to the Regular Boba Milk Tea drinkers. I mean I am just a newbie at this. But if You're into trying new things and have never given Milk Tea a Shot, I totally recommend that You do., Come And Get Your Boba On!! read more

Gong Cha - Strawberry Creme Brulee Strawberry Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

Still at Rockaway Mall by the escalator, and still serving high-quality, yet uninspiring drinks. At my most recent visit, I went with a large taro milk tea, 30% sugar, regular ice, with oat milk (no upcharge for milk substitution). It tasted like a low-sugar drink, which was unfortunate. The tapioca was noticeably bland. Working to unpack supplies around 3p on a Saturday, I could see that the staff was actively checking to see if I was done reading the menu before coming to the register. Good, but not a go-to. read more

Once you've been to one Gona Cha, you pretty much know what to expect at other locations, which is both good and bad. They tend to have a kiosk in shopping centres and this one's no exception. Their green tea was similar to what we've got from other locations, except that it had a prominent sourness to it which I prefer not to have. Their boba was well cooked and we enjoyed it overall. Service? The staff couldn't have picked her phone back up after handing us our orders but I don't judge her for that. read more

Gong cha used to be very good, but then the quality went down after they opened a store literally everywhere. This one is in the middle of Rockaway mall. I don't think it's as good as it's used to but it was close. We went right before the mall closed, the tapioca was still fresh and chewy. They had 3 people working there so even it was busy but they were able to serve the drinks pretty quickly. I want to give 3.5 stars because for the same price I think you can get better milk tea elsewhere. read more

Summary : The Gong Cha has a reputation of great quality bubble tea and this new location definitely lives up to the reputation! This Gong Cha has been open since December 2021 and I cannot believe I JUST found out! Their bubble tea is so good! Bubbles are always a great consistency and love the variety of other toppings! I usually go for their dirty brown sugar bbt with bubbles and pudding, however I have ventured to try other things on their menu. Everything that I've had so far had not disappointed! My wallet is crying though lol. Great and fast service. Tap into their Five Star rewards program for $5 off when you spend $50 (I'll admit I've already almost spent $50 and it's only been 3 weeks that I learned about them ) read more

It's hard finding boba around this area without having to drive to Parsippany or Madison, so color me surprised (and excited) when I found out they opened up a Gongcha at Rockaway Mall! No more having to plan trips to Madison or Edison anymore! Gongcha is my favorite chain boba shop, but some times it's very hit or miss, depending on the location you go to. I can say this location is awesome. Boba is cooked to the right amount of chewy perfection. The sweetness levels are great and seem consistent with percentage you get (staring at you Ktown Gongcha that makes it too sweet sometimes). If it's your first time ordering boba, I highly recommend earl grey milk tea with boba at 30% sugar, light ice. Highly recommend! read more

Gong Cha - Earl grey milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

Great bubble tea! My husband and I were both very impressed, and thought it was some of the best bubble tea we've had! My husband got the iced brown sugar milk tea with boba, and I got the iced strawberry earl gray tea with boba. I like how they use real brewed tea versus the powdered mixes some of the other boba places do. The drink itself was creamy, had a nice tea flavor, and overall was a good size. Boba was soft and chewy. Prior to this spot opening up, we usually went to Bubble in Paradise in Denville. Their bubble tea was okay, more on the watery side and not as creamy as Gong Cha. Only downside - the price! It was $16 for two large bubble teas. I don't mind paying a decent bit of money for good food, it's the only thing that gives me a serotonin boost these days, but it won't be something I do every day for that price! read more

I've visted the Rockaway Mall location of Gong Cha many time during my trip to the mall. This place has good bubble tea. They have a variety of drinks and toppings to choose from. They adjust the ice levels and sweetness to your liking. This place is a good drink option here at the mall and the closest Gong Cha in Morris county. read more

We have been coming to this Gong Cha for quite sometime now and have always found the employees helpful and attentive. We've never been chastised for coming close to closing time -- ever-- until today. They were out of pretty much everything -- no milk teas at all, no hot drinks at all, no gingerbread drink at all. When I tried to joke to the short girl with a hair clip on the back of her head who waited on us that they needed to put the missing gingerbread drink on the sign they had up about everything else they were missing she said "You came too late -- we're closing". Really?! At 5:45 pm -- a full 15 minutes before you close you're going to chastise me for "being too late"? Does it take 15 minutes to make a drink? I chose not to order the 4 drinks I was going to because I felt uncomfortable ordering anything with her bad attitude. If all the new employees are like her we won't be back. The old employees were so nice -- we miss them greatly. read more
