When I heard they had a new cotton candy flavored drink, I ran to the store as fast as I could. It's only for a limited time so try it ASAP! It's the perfect amount of sweetness and cold foam on top. Super yummy!

Gong Cha is a well-established boba institution and I was happy to find there was one located near my area. I came during the holiday season where they had a promotion with their snowman cups. I ordered the pearl milk tea with reduced sweetness. The drink and the boba were both on point with the quality I've come to expect from them. Outside of that, the staff was really nice and friendly and made my drink quickly. The store itself has some indoor seating for you to sit at. It also wasn't a crowded when I went which can be nice if you're looking for quiet spot to enjoy your drink.

Stopped by Gong Cha for a tea after I ate and Spicy Noodles House. The noodles restaurant receipt is valid for 10% off at Gong Cha the same day. Got the Peach Green Tea with mini pearls, with 30% less sugar. Very flavorful. Love those mini pearls. This Gong Cha location appears to be a family-owned franchisee. Service was really good and the family was friendly. I will return soon to try other flavors.

Creme Brulee Strawberry Milk Smoothie, Large, 50% Sweet, Pudding
Ivy D.

The staff at the counter was super friendly and got our drinks ready really fast! The shop was clean with plenty of open seating. We got a large Wintermelon Tea with pearls and a large Creme Brulee Strawberry Milk Smoothie with pudding. Both drinks were delicious and filled all the way to the top. The topping-to-drink ratio was just right, though I would've preferred a bit less ice in the Wintermelon Tea (I asked for 25% ice). They also have a nice first-time download app promo,, $10 off a $15 order!

1. The drink at this location was refreshing, and I feel like it would taste the same like the other locations! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There are indoor seatings! 4. The staff were timely with our drinks! 5. Parking lot was decent sized, but it was not crowded at 11 am on a Saturday! Note: There is a restroom for customers! Photo: Peach Oolong Tea with Boba!

3.5/4 stars. After a shopping trip near the surrounding area, I stopped by here before they closed for a drink because I was so thirsty! Ended up getting some fruit tea. They are heavy on the toppings, so I felt like I barely got any tea, but the taste of the tea was good. I also got an adorable boba keychain that was 50% off which made it around $6. I added it to my endless list of miniature collections. The end. Haha

I like how you can customize a lot about your drink. The people that work there are super nice and are efficient as well.

Came here at the best time because they had so many Peanuts and Snoopy merch. I got the Thai tea which was super yummy and I got a free Snoopy straw topper for spending a certain amount. I also got a cute purple boba plushie an even the tops on the drinks had different Peanuts designs. The drinks here are always good and have great quality in the taste. Ordering is easy through the kiosk too.

Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3J

Omggg ! Great experience with Dyuen she is so sweet and great customer service! Will be coming back!

Manager's special #2 Brown Sugar Pudding w/ crème Brûlée
Sandy L.

Amazing crispy waffle with crème brûlée filling provides a creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor, topped with a vanilla flavored ice cream. This is super delicious! I never seen or tried Gong Cha with dessert especially the manager's special #2 Brown Sugar Pudding with Crème Brûlée only $5.50. We are truly impressed with the food quality and customer service. We also had an enjoyable interaction with the manager as well, who is genuinely kind and sweet.

Wintermelon milk tea and milk tea

We were really excited to try this place as I've had it originally in Taiwan a few times in LA. It was always delicious and fresh. So we decided so we to try this location in Santa Ana because it's close by. What a major disappointment. We ordered the wintermelon and oolong tea with boba. The boba tasted days old and soggy with a funky after taste. Even worse, after a few sips, my stomach started dancing so we immediately threw the drinks away. Too bad!

Yummy Creme Brulee waffle!!
Monica G.

Tracy was very friendly and patient explaining all the options to us. I love Gong Cha's variety of both caffeinated and non-caffeinated options, making it more family friendly than some places. Plus they have yummy dessert snacks, like the creme brulee pudding (delicious!!!) and the creme brulee mochi waffle. The creme they use is a bit salty, which keeps everything from being too sweet.

Okay, I don't know why this joint isn't more popular. Granted, I only really go at night, so your…read moremileage may vary. The Moon Coffee is a really cute cafe that is decorated head to toe in cutesy stuff. Jellycats, knickknacks, and most importantly, great seating. I strolled in, as I always do, to get my flavor-of-the-week matcha. This particular day, it was a strawberry pistachio matcha. It's always consistently good. Great sweetness, good milk, and perfectly balanced between bitter and grassy. I'm very happy to have a matcha spot in this part of Costa Mesa. Now, that being said, what prompted my review was actually looking at their retail shelf. There was coffee from Loquat, DAK, and Tanat just to name a few. Heavy hitters in the specialty space for sure. I had mentioned to the barista behind the counter whether they are hard-focused on supplying great pourovers or espresso. She said they didn't really use those coffees on the shelf in the store itself, but offered me a doubleshot as a sample! I was so grateful, and it was a very nice interaction to have with someone. I think I'll come back and have a coffee next time! The Moon Coffee, the Coffee spot for Matcha nerds? I guess so!

I visited the Moon Coffee while I was waiting for a table next door, so it was a great place to…read morestop by in the meantime. It was a nice, cute coffee shop. I ordered the banana hojicha latte with regular milk. It was decently good. I love how they use real banana, it always enhances the flavor by a lot. I do wish the hojicha was a bit stronger, but that is my personal preference. I'm not sure if it was diluted by regular milk and would have stood out more with alternative choices. I do think the drinks here are on the more expensive side, so I don't think I would come here as frequently. They do have a good amount of seating and free WiFi to catch up with friends or get work done.

Love this place so much!…read more I've been to the Cerritos location many times so I figured I'd try the Santa Ana location. There's more seating at this location which is nice! Three tables and a bench. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Latte with Grass Jelly for 7.25, and I finished it in literally 10 minutes. The prices are really good if you don't get toppings too! 50% sweetness was perfect for me, and I like how they have descriptions under each of the teas on the menu. Next time I definitely want to try one of their frappes with purple rice. They also have many season drinks including an Earl Grey Cheesecake Latte! Parking is in a small plaza and it's a 30 minute maximum, so definitely plan to grab and go! Quite close to OCMA and South Coast as well.

I stopped in to try a milk tea or tea latte one sunday. The parking lot is a curved segment with…read moreadditional parking and the storefront is pretty small with a table and chairs on the left side. The lighting was good and the interior was modern and minimal. I ordered a hojicha latte with light ice and 50 percent sweetness. The tea itself has pretty good roasted flavor but the problem was the lack of strong tea base. As such, any other liquid overwhelms the tea and left the flavor watery. As such, this doesn't really get a pass from me. I think its okay, but the weak tea base really sabotages any flavor from the drink.
