    Crème brûlée with strawberry
    Johnny M.

    One of my first beverage spots during my trip to Toronto. The servers here are quite nice. The shop is kept very clean. I had the crème brûlée with strawberry, zero sugar. I loved it! It was still sweet enough for me to enjoy. I'll be coming back!

    Matcha softserve with tapioca and sugar cone
    Vonny W.

    If you're looking for some ice cream during the upcoming summer days, you can add Gong Cha to your list! In addition to their long line up of beverages, their new addition includes soft-serve of varying flavors. I'm so thankful to Gong Cha and their team for the invite to their sneak peak tasting to try this MATCHA SOFT-SERVE. Loved that it was smooth and creamy (i.e. not overly ice-y) without being too heavy. There was also enough matcha to make it flavorful, balancing out the sweetness but I wouldn't mind cutting out a little more sugar. Topped with a sugar cone that was incredibly crunchy, a chocolate Pocky (a childhood favorite!), as well as QQ and chewy tapioca (delish!), this is the ultimate summer heat treat. *Available starting May 22nd, at select locations*

    Great bubble tea place with quality drinks. The place is nice decorated with plenty of seating. It's got great ambience and their music isn't too loud. Their servers are quick with what they do. They're not particularly nice but they're not rude either--very efficient. Their drinks are all pretty great. Like most bubble tea places, you can customize your sugar and ice levels. Their prices are in line with the majority of your typical chains, such as Chatime and CoCo. This is my preferred chain store for the quickness, seating, ambience, and tea strength. I'll be coming back again!

    Outside the gongcha location!

    Staff were extremely friendly and soft serve was very good!! During the summer they have the coffee soft serve available and it is such a bold, aromatic coffee flavour that you have to try! It also comes with a hockey stick which we found to be a nice addition to the overall treat. We highly recommend this spot!

    I like this place. It has a classy, elegant feel to the decor that is warm and inviting. The space isn't cramped like many other establishments in the neighbourhood. The night i went to Gong Cha, there was no air conditioning, so they kept the door open. Thankfully the evening was cool, allowing for a pleasant time relaxing with my friends. The menu has pretty decent selections of drinks, ranging from milk foam flavor teas and coffee to smoothie. I ordered a regular sized passion fruit green tea, with QQ jelly for $4.7. At 30% sugar the tea was still fairly sweet. The associates were pretty fast with completing orders. They were polite, but i couldn't help but feel that they were a bit stressed out by the constant flow of in coming customers. But good job for working hard at fulfilling orders.

    Royal Milk Tea comes with Tapioca. Well, that's probably why it's 50 cents more expensive.

    My first experience with Gong Cha was their downtown location that opened up a few months ago and I really liked it. This one is much more spacious, and I like the decor along the walls. Really gives it that antiquated chinese tea house feels. It doesn't have a trap door like the one downtown though, which I honestly think would've been a great addition given the interior design. Well, that half of the room anyways. The other side has a TV mounted onto the wall playing popular korean music videos instead of Gong Cha ads. But the quality of the videos are quite something. Seriously, the videos were so smooth, so detailed. So much better than that youtube-quality stuff. There's also korean pop music playing in the background. You can ask for samples of drinks. This means you might be waiting a bit longer in line, but it's a nice service. Like most (better) bubble tea places, you can customize your sugar level, ice level, and add s number of additional toppings to your drink. I ordered the Royal Milk Tea, large at 50% sugar no ice. It comes with tapioca, but unfortunately it tasted a little too watery to me. Tapioca also didn't feel as nice chewing through. Not sure if more sugar could have improved it. I think perhaps it was lack of milk, or this is just how it is? Now I'm tempted to try another location to see if it's the same.

    Milk Tea + Mango Green Tea with Kanten Jelly
    Nikki M.

    The day I visited this location they told me they ran out of tapioca and the wait would be about 10-15 minutes. I was about to leave, when they recommended I try their Kanten Jelly in lieu of the tapioca. I went with the staff's recommendation - Mango Green Tea with Kanten Jelly and boy, this did not disappoint! In fact, this may be my new favourite drink and could probably do without tapioca now. I loved it so much I went back the next day and got the same exact drink. Thanks Gong Cha!

    matcha x milk foam soft serve w sugar cone and red bean
    Kelly C.

    I'm not a huge fan of matcha BUT this gongcha matcha soft serve might be the game changer for me the combo of matcha and milk foam was so perfectly balanced w the red bean and sugar cone pairing

    Michael D.

    After seeing Gongcha in several locations, I figured Id give it a try. During my visit, I ordered the Wintermelon tea. The location itself is quite nice, equipped with seating, benches, and sofas. The store had a couple of people in it, and there was no line. The service was fast, and it took probably 2 minutes to get my drink. The bubble tea, however, was OK. The Wintermelon tea might've tasted better on its own without toppings, as it was unique and quite flavourful. The grass jelly tasted a lot more medicinal than I'm used to, so I didn't enjoy it that much. Overall, I'd encourage others to try the bubble tea here, but it definitely wouldn't be one of my top choices.

    I came on a weekday afternoon, barely anyone in the shop. I ordered a wintermelon milk foam and before I was done paying, the drink was made!!! That was super fast!! I hate eating wintermelon itself but for some reason, I love the taste in drinks!! This is like regular wintermelon tea topped with a thick, creamy, and milk foam. There's also 3 different ways to enjoy this drink: 1. Sip directly without a straw 2. Drink some tea first then drink some milk foam at the top with a straw 3. Stir the milk foam into the tea! I usually first sip a few sips before stirring the two layers into one.

    Really great place to hangout with friends lots of space. Really enjoy their 1. Milk foam wintermelon with basil and their new popcorn foam milk tea.

    This place has fierce competition in the area. However, it doesn't really distinguish itself from the competition. Similar to other Bubble Tea places, you can adjust the sugar content in your drinks. They have a list of their top 10 most popular drinks on their sign, helping customers make their choices easier and quicker. Service was prompt and our drinks were made fairly quickly. The place was clean with plenty of available seating. They also have a free WiFi too. Nothing to recommend or not to recommend. Drinks were fine. #18 of 2018

    Part of their brown sugar series, I believe
    Cindy D.

    If only they had more locations, I only go here when I'm in the area. I really enjoy their original milk tea, that's my go-to when I go there. I also tried their mango slush with pudding but I wasn't too big of a fan.

The owner recommended that I get the regular sugar level; his recommendation was correct. The customer service was courteous and fast (I was their only customer at the time). Sometimes they give out 2-for-1 drinks, and on weekends, they have a combo of Hi Yogurt drink and So Sweet dessert for $9.99. There are 3 tables and counter seating. The tables have electrical outlets beside them. There is wood paneling, giving it an Asian vibe. There is very quiet music playing in the background. The address implies the Chinatown Centre, but the entrance is off Spadina Ave, not inside the mall. There are 3 businesses inside the location. One of them is a Thai Spa. They have a massage chair inside the Hi Yogurt seating area so you can get a quick 5-min massage while waiting for your order! There is free WiFi. The store is not wheelchair accessible. There are no customer washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-137

It's the kind of place that makes you want to settle in, order slowly, and really enjoy the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and the beef tartare was one of my favorite dishes of the night.. beautifully balanced, well seasoned, and rich without feeling too heavy. The foie gras was also very nicely done, smooth and delicate, especially with the toasted bread and the sweetness from the preserve on the side. The risotto was creamy and comforting, with a deep savory flavor that felt very French in the most satisfying way. For the main, the duck dish was especially memorable.. rich, hearty, and full of depth, with the beans and sauce bringing everything together in a way that felt rustic but still refined. What I appreciated most was that nothing felt overly trendy or overcomplicated. The food felt grounded in classic bistro cooking, and that confidence came through in the experience. Overall, this is the kind of restaurant I'd come back to when I want a slower, more intimate dinner in the city. Warm atmosphere, thoughtful food, and the kind of place that leaves a very lasting impression.
