Honey green tea and earl grey milk teas are my favourites. Pearls are good but I like the herbal jelly more.
Great drink, great service and very friendly staff. Never let me down!
I was seeing people carry these weird glasses in their hands and sipping something from thick straws.
I always wondered what is it and why this shop is always crowded. And I finally landed here.
Oh lord and then after I can’t stop myself coming to this place. I tried this royal pearl tea and it’s been my fav now. The pearls are amazing, chewy and I just love it.
They make tea according to u. amount of ice sugar the way you like.
Other tea are good too have tried a few but, royal pearl tea is what I fell for :)
Received a much better service from this store than the one on Adelaide street. The staff were friendly and gave suggestions. I was however after the sticky brown sugar milk tea but apparently it's out of stock. Ended up with their regular brown sugar milk tea which was still great.
I love Gong Cha. It took me a while to come around to it, but now that I’ve found my favourite drinks (Honey Lemon Tea with White Pearls and QQ Passionfruit Green Tea) - I’ll never walk straight past it again!!!
I love the Gong Cha CBD location. Whilst the line at the front may be extensive, there is some seating. Most patrons get their tea and go. I like sitting down and relaxing. You can often find me there with my headphones in.
Here are some pictures of my teas. Enjoy 😊
Decompensating on the corner of struggle street & the unmotivated superhighway, the ever-popular Gong Cha serves me a cup of inspiration in bubble tea form. Fate demanded I stop in here today when there was no queue outside at all - a rare & freakish phenomenon. Classic pearl milk tea was the miracle elixir I needed & springy tapioca pearls brought pops of happiness to my otherwise sucky workday. Champion pep-me-up!
(Rating is mainly based off classic pearl milk tea, in order to be more fair across different chains/stores)
Pearl Milk Tea
Tea: Strong flavour, not bitter even with no sugar
Pearls: Consistently well-cooked
Temperature: Usually cold but sometimes lukewarm
Service: Depends on what time. There can be a long line, especially around 3-5PM on weekdays if I recall correctly, but the wait isn't too bad.
Notes on other teas:
1. Non-milk teas
The tea actually tasted like tea and not cheap cordial.
Passionfruit QQ >> Lychee oolong >>>>>>>> Chatime grapefruit QQ
2. White pearls
Really weird. They aren't chewy and have a very odd texture, and don't taste like anything. 0/10 do not recommend.
3. Taro milk tea
Too sweet even with no sugar. However, it is thick and smooth and doesn't have weird chunks like Chatime and Comebuy.
New to bubble tea?
ALWAYS START WITH 1/4 SUGAR. And then change to 1/2 or no sugar if it's not quite right. Note that some teas (like taro and honey dew I believe) are already sweet so they don't need any additional sugar at all, and personally, I feel sick if I get any more sugar than 1/4.
I've been to this shop many times and their lines are quite long but it has been worth the wait every time. Their matcha green tea with red bean tastes amazing!
Sweet milky pearly goodness. Yummmmy! Only downsides is staff can be a bit distracted and take time to serve you. Worth the long winding lines. Oreo milk tea is fantastic. Lots of unique taiwanese options. Top place! Nice music too.
Service is nice and friendly even though they are very busy. I loved the passion fruit (nice not artificial tasting), jelly ( perfect crunchy and not sticky) , pearls (a bit sweet but perfect otherwise).
Overall the milk tea was so yummy. I asked for less sugar and even then it was too sweet for me (I love sugar). My only suggestion is consider getting the sugar down to half maybe?
Long queue but that is normal considering the popularity, I would definitely queue up again ... yummy :)
