I never frequent gong cha too often but just happened to pass by. The space is small but as is most bubble tea shops in the area. They actually had a lot on their menu to try and I've heard good things about their croffle. The peach slush drink I got was good, even with less sugar the flavour was impactful. The croffle was really good too and made to order. Luckily when we went there was ample amounts of seating and free wifi for guests. Might try their other drinks next time. read more

This was just a quick visit to grab a drink. My friend arrived before I did and ordered for me so I didn't even go in. She got a tea based drink while I got one with mango. It was nice, a bit sweet, and very refreshing! read more

hidden location, but good service. I am so glad that I found this spot. I tried the mango matcha drink with kanten jelly and it was so good; not overly sweet either. although it's a smaller location, there's still seating available and cute decor. read more

Gong Cha Scarborough - a hand holding a cup of green tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

The 'bubble' tea cafe, was out of bubbles unfortunately, but seems pretty understandable as we went near the closing time. Other than that, their strawberry Oreo milk tea didn't really have any Oreo's in it. But the flavour of strawberry was quite oozing through out the drink and quite fruitful! Ambience was quite aesthetic to take boomerangs near their decorative wall as well! read more

Hidden Location | Quick Service | Bi Weekly Text Deals So I've never visited a Gong Cha location before but I did sign up for the bi weekly text deals. I've never acted on any on the text deals until my bubble tea craving collided with a text deal. It was "free topping on any size mango green tea"... exactly my order. When I googled the location, it was close by to Scarborough town centre but it looked like it was at the bottom of a condo building. After driving around in the underground parking lot for 10 minutes I anxiously pulled out and just parked on the street to find this place by foot. Good thing there's a bright sign so I saw the location as I was founding the corner. It's right next to an IDA pharmacy and a 24 hour convenience store. The location was really small but they do have a few tables and a high top bar around the perimeter. I wasn't sure how the text deal worked but I just entered my phone number at the kiosk and it came right up. With the other customers inside, pulling up the text deal and all of the fog in my glasses because of my mask mixing with the cold weather - I forgot to pull up my rewards card to be scanned. Onto the BBT. It was SO good. The best I've had in a while. I usually go to Chaitime and I'm glad I made the change. I got a large mango green tea, less ice and 50% sweet with QQ topping (tapioca + coconut jelly). It was perfectly sweet and the tea was correctly brewed. This was the first time I actually saw mango pulp inside of a fruit tea beverage. I'll definitely be going back. They were also really friendly inside there too. Don't sleep on this location. read more

Once again, I hate lowering my ratings, but this one needed to be lowered. My boyfriend and I visited this bubble tea shop a few days ago, because we were both craving bubble tea and we were near the shop. Upon arrival, we realized that it wasn't super busy, however it was steady. Take in, we waited almost AN HOUR from placing the order, to receiving our bubble tea. It was absolutely ridiculous! I mean, I understand if the place was really busy, then sure, but when you're not that busy and this happens, it turns your experience into a pretty bad/annoying one. However, the drinks itself were pretty good. I got the milk tea with tapioca and I personally loved it. Honestly, if the service was much better, this place would be really good. read more

This location recently opened for the best! Really needed a solid bubble tea place by Scarborough Town Centre. It's hidden away by the Civic Centre at the base of a condo in Albert Campbell Square. It's easy to miss with all the construction happening. This shop is very small, 3 tables for 2 people and a bar stool counter by the window. Wouldn't recommend for large groups or for studying. It's more of a take out only location, compared to the Steeles and Warden location with lots of seating. Luckily the mall and a public library are right around the corner. Love the entire tea menu but my recommendations are: Milk foam winter melon tea - best of all popular bubble tea chains in the GTA. Milk foam is salty and rich. It's meant to be cheesy but I'm kind of happy it departs from the original cheese milk foam it's meant to be inspired by. The thick layer of milk foam compliments the sweet, light winter melon tea. I like to add basil seeds (50 cents extra) for extra texture and nutrition, making it more special. 4/5 Royal milk tea - way better than Chatime classic milk tea IMO! Best with pudding add-on. 4/5 Worth the 5 minute walk to and back to the mall for good quality bubble tea. Absolutely recommend. read more

This relatively new bubble tea shop opened up in the commercial units of the EQ2 condo at Scarborough Town Centre behind the YMCA and Passport building. Enter the small corner shop to a clean, fresh and modern interior. There is some limited seating perhaps for 6 people or so, but mainly for takeout. They do have free wifi with the password posted on the window. They have a pretty good selection if drinks and allow customization like Chatime. Similar to Chatime they also have a top 10 board, which is helpful for first-timers or those who don't know what they want. I ordered the Taro Milk Oolong (black) Tea with Red Bean. I really loved the extra gritty texture and earthy taste that the red bean added. I got mine with less ice and 50% sugar. The tea didn't seem to be sufficiently cooled down so the drink wasn't as cold as I'd prefer, but the less sugar was spot on. My wife had a sip and she liked it also. A good bubble tea overall. I will try the grass jelly milk tea next time... read more

This small tea place is hidden amongst the condo towers and I often walk by this area without a thought...until today. I chose the regular size Wintermelon milk tea with Grass Jelly $5.30 plus taxes, no ice and 30% sugar sweetness. Well, this $6 drink is surprisingly good after my noon walk. I was the only patron inside this shop and took a seat at the window counter. The music was relaxing, the service very quick and my order was prepared fast. I'm impressed! read more

I went there a month ago and it was closed. I thought I will give them a call and to my surprise someone answered the phone. I pre-ordered my #9 (Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea), arrived 15 minutes later and it was ready. I read a bad review about the staff but everytime I come, staff are friendly and courteous. The bobba is as good as before. Perfect sweetness and right amount of ice. Keep up the great work. Strongly recommended. read more

Gong Cha Scarborough - #9 - Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This location opened just over a month ago and recently finished the seating area. Gong Cha is not typically my first choice for bubbletea but this location is actually pretty good! It isn't as busy as the others and the staff are friendly and quick. My favourite is #7 on their Top 10 menu which is a Peach Green Tea with QQ jelly and tapioca. The tea flavour in most of the drinks I have tried are strong enough, which is very important for me. They still don't have Vicinity although they are apparently planning to, so you don't get any loyalty rewards until then. read more

They didn't take my order accurately, forgetting my tapioca and got the wrong sweetness. Tapioca had no flavour but the chewiness is alright. The service was also quite slow. Probably won't bother with this store again read more

This location, although serves very slow during busy or low times, provides exceptionally made bubble tea without fail. If you're looking to get a seat, it might be best to take your bubble tea into the mall as there is very minimal seating in this very small shop. I also believe Gong Cha is the best choice for flavored drinks & this location keeps that belief real. read more

Every day drink. But how could they don't have a drive thru? They should bought whole building and make it to a huge parking lot with deliver-to-car service. read more

the employee is rude and my croffle is too small than the croffle that they normally serve. i know working at a boba shop might be tiring but customer service is a must. read more

This is a spot right outside of the actual mall (very close to the civic centre). I really enjoyed the bubble tea. I got the peach green tea with aloe and I thought it was pretty good. I also tried the regular pearl milk tea and you can tell that the quality is a lot better than most bbtea places in Toronto. read more

Love their bubble tea. Their bubble tea and toppings (tapioca) are on point every single time. Can't go wrong with this place.

First time here and got the buy one get one free bubble tea special. The royal milk tea with pearls is quite generic in my opinion. What I do like about this place is that for people who don't like their milk tea too sweet 50% sugar is perfect. Though Chatime or CoCo would probably be my go to. It is also convenient to get to as it is right outside of STC by the buses. read more

The mango smoothie with the mango boba is my favourite cold drink in the world. High quality bubble tea.

We came here on an evening after a stroll around STC. We were quite delighted that they opened a bbt shop in our area. The shop was small with limited seating so it's more meant for take out. We ordered a passion fruit tea And a mango slush. They were both very fruity and they give you the option of different sugar levels and ice levels which I like. The pricing is not cheap, but pretty typical of bbt nowadays of around 4-6 dollars each. read more

I ordered green tea with milk foam. Two times ive been to this location and the drinks were not good at all. Green tea tasted like tap water. Stay away from this location. They are so lazy in making the drink. They dumped everything in your cup, seal it and shake it in there. They are supposed to mix it in a separate cup and then transfer it to the cup that will be handed to the customer. read more
