    Gong Cha is the act of offering tea to the Emperor in ancient China as a tribute. This tea consumed by Chinese Emperors is of the best quality collected throughout the kingdom. Gong Cha was originally established in 2006, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Now there are over 1,100 different stores in 20 countries with a worldwide reputation for serving the highest quality customizable beverages in the industry. This cute location in downtown Toronto serves a variety of teas, coffees, smoothies, seasonal drinks, etc...the menu is large and you can add many different toppings like red beans, pearls., lychee pearl, coffee jelly, pudding, etc. Refreshing and delicious....for an added touch of cleanliness and safety, they heat seal the lid to your cup so you and only you can perforate the lid with your straw for your drinking enjoyment.

    it's a decent boba tea shop from Taiwan. It's nice to have a boba tea shop in the Eaton Center. The best of it is that it has self-serving kiosks. It doesn't mean we are introverts...You know...it can be very crowded and noisy in the Eaton Center's food court. In addition, there are so many different ways to customize your drink. You won't want to have a drink that doesn't match what you order. A self-serving kiosk can prevent you from that unpleasant situation. Just give it a shot.

    Finally, decent boba at Eatons! Can't really go wrong here as it tastes the same as any other Gong Cha: simply delicious. Strong teas, perfectly cooked pearls, and a consistently correct level of sugar (get less sugar 30%)!

    Great place to refresh yourself with a great beverage typical from Asia with great flavour and particular popping boba

    Amazing! We got two bubble teas and they were really refreshing for a hot summer day in Toronto!

    Chatime is a long time favorite of ours, and we usually have a good experience. This time however…read morethe service was extremely slow and left a lot to be desired. I completely understand that, with one person working, things get overwhelming easily. When we arrived we just wanted to grab our mobile order, but there was zero eye contact, zero acknowledgement. Because of the time it took to collect our order, which was sitting out, the ice had melted a lot and watered down the flavor. This is not the fault of the overworked staff member. The responsibility falls on the company to not understaff on a summer weekend!

    This is one of the first bubble tea stores in downtown Toronto, opening around Sep 2011…read more We used to come here a lot, 9 times between 2019-06-27 and 2021-12-04. We came back on 2024-12-31 because we received a gift card. We ordered a Chocolate Hazel Delight (large $6.50). We added pearls for +$0.70. It tasted as expected. The customer service was good because there was no one else in the shop. There were 5 small tables and a long counter for standing beside. One table had lots of crumbs on it. The shop was reasonably modern and clean. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. They also sell cakes and cookies (new item) from Bakecode, their sister company. There is free WiFi. The shop is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There is one gender-neutral washroom, but it is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.

    This place got a large variety of different drinks. They also have daily deals where you can get…read moredrinks for $4 medium size and $5 large size. Drinks are colourful and tasted good. Ingredients they use are good quality and are made in front of you. Their ice cream waffle snack is a must get. It pairs up with their drinks well.

    I went here a couple weeks ago because I was craving a bubbletea. While my bubbletea craving is…read morestill at large, I enjoyed my experience here. Walked in and it was instantly warm inside. Contrary to the weather outside. The young worker behind the counter greeted me with a smile, in spite of their preoccupation in making drinks. I asked her questions to help me narrow down my choice. I settled on a creamy mango with boba. With less ice and less sweetness. It was refreshing and satisfying, next time I will ask for 80% sugar because going down to 50% was too much of a drop. The place is pretty modern inside with an exposed brick interface, it kind of gave me the impression of being on a street in Taiwan. Outside they have this cute street post sign on the side of their building. All in all, service 10 outta 10, ambiance 10 outta 10 (although when I went the only other customer had left, so knowing how loud it gets, I was not able to decipher and that may impact this rating.) And drink... ah 7 outta 10. This is because it came out to be expensive for the size . Will try again.
