“I went in this morning for a pound of medium roast decaf and a quick espresso. They have an excellent interior that was nice to relax in for a few minutes before rushing off. The staff member was also super friendly. Great neighborhood too. They were carrying a limited edition run of a anaerobic process light roast from Rwanda, so I bought a bag out of curiosity. This is currently the best coffee I have ever brewed. It tastes sweet and like apples! I am really glad that they were carrying this today!“

“It wasn't busy until I was in line trying to decide what I wanted. I went with the whoopie donut. It was delicious! There was no confusion with My coffee request, which was awesome.I was there around 2 pm. There was a great crew of friendly workers.

Parking: It's in a strip mall next to other restaurants. I can see where it could be hard to find a parking space.“

“I love the new location at 25 Kane Street, West Hartford Connecticut. Marisol Monserrate 🦋“

“Today must be smile day as well, as national donut day. I came in to apply for a job but they informed me that other locations were hiring. As I sat to apply after receiving my butter pecan iced coffee and complimentary butternut donut, with a smile, great attitude, and observed customers leaving with smiles as well, as I enjoyed sitting down in the booth to enjoy my breakfast and applications. I'd definitely come back to this location. The ladies were outstandingly fabulous.“

“Despite this being a chain that is hell-bent on destroying coffee Cafe culture through aggressive homogenization and ungodly beverage creations, this place isn't fully terrible.Located in the University's Librarys building, the place is mostly always active, with people constantly awaiting their orders.The folks behind the counter are always friendly.Overall, not the worst Starbucks available, though I'd rather it was an independently owned/operated location.

Vegetarian options: There are some items available with meat. The rest of the stuff is meatless.

Parking: As this is an on-campus location, there is no dedicated parking. If you want to park on campus, you need to buy yourself a parking pass.

Kid-friendliness: Not. At. All.This is a university location, not a daycare. Keep your kids away as they'll be board, and likely to be very annoying.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible from enterance to counter, and back to the enterence, which is now an exit.“

“We had fun, Sis! :P Dunkin Donuts has great coffee -- toasted almond all the way!“

“The tea are good with many flavor options however the menu doesn’t specify if the milk tea or milk caps are non dairy even though the associates say so. The apps also doesn’t give users much customization options.“

“I really love Gong Cha! Their bubble tea is consistently delicious, with rich, authentic flavors that hit the spot every time. The tapioca pearls have that perfect chewy bounce, and the variety of toppings—from popping boba to grass jelly—adds a fun, customizable touch to every drink. It’s clear they put care into balancing sweetness and creaminess just right, making each sip enjoyable.

The staff are always friendly and efficient, and the store itself feels bright and welcoming—a great spot to relax or catch up with friends over a tasty drink.

My only small complaint is that Gong Cha’s prices tend to be a bit on the higher side. While the quality justifies paying a little extra, it can add up quickly, especially if you like to load up on toppings or get your favorite drinks regularly. It would be nice to see occasional promotions or loyalty perks to make the experience even sweeter.

Overall, Gong Cha remains one of my favorite bubble tea places for its consistent quality, great selection, and friendly vibe. If you don’t mind paying a bit more, you’re definitely in for a satisfying treat.“

“This place is organized but when a customer wave comes in it can be frustrating . Keep in mind this is a busy intersection and getting in and out of this location is easy. I came here in the midst of a customer wave and the manager was courteous but kept the line directed and moving at the same time. For a quick in and out for coffee or a short respite with coffee and bagel , this is a good place to try.“
