I enjoy boba quite a bit so when my friends said we should check out Gong Cha I was excited. There are so many great tea base choices and the additions and toppings are also vast in variety. Fast service and you can order ahead online or at their kiosk or at the counter. Made fresh to order too. Quite authentic and I hope they continue to spread across North America. Go here if you want bubble tea.
Very delicious boba! Definitely recommend!
They fill personal cups. This is huge for me, since there is a global plastic epidemic that the United States continues to ignore. Thank you for being part of the solution Gong Cha!
Poor quality, poor service, poor taste. The staff isn’t very friendly and the tea tastes either old or has too much water, which nullifies the other flavours. Don’t recommend this outlet at all
Good bubble teas
Very good drinks
This is the best boba tea chain in North America. Tea is good and refreshing. Only problem was this shop’s ac was broken or something because it was like a sauna in the shop. It might’ve been fixed since I’ve been though.
I love this gong cha and come here often. I highly recommend the Brown Sugar Milk Tea and the Bubble Waffle.
While I enjoyed Gong Cha's pearl milk tea, I was a little disappointed that the pearls were smaller than expected and not as chewy as I prefer.
A little bit pricey, but they have a wide selection and great options. I’m partial to the bubble waffles (so buttery!) and the fruit-based drinks - not too sweet

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommend!
Tried this bubble tea spot on Newbury Street, and it did not disappoint! The place itself is small but super cute, perfect for a quick stop while strolling around. One thing to note—they open at 11 AM, but when we went right at opening, the store wasn’t quite ready until 11:30 AM. So, if you’re planning to go early, maybe give it a little extra time to get the boba toppings to get ready.
We ordered a tea without the boba toppings, and honestly, it was amazing on its own! The flavors were perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and super refreshing. If you’re a bubble tea lover (or even if you’re not), definitely worth checking out. Will be back for sure!
I used to love this place, but I was disappointed on my last visit. They used to have caffeine free milk flavor, but they don't anymore. There wasn't any Taro in stock. The mango flavor didn't taste like mango and tasted like brown tea.
Excellent service.
The interior/atmosphere was disappointing, but the boiled tapioca was even, so it was appropriate.
Gong Cha Newbury is the Newbury Street Franchise of the globally popular Gong Cha boba shops.
One feature that stands out is they sell bubble waffles with or without ice cream at this location, though it does tend to get on the more expensive side. They also have a deal to sell instant ramen, which I find a bit weird (ramen and boba?) but it doesn't bother me.
The boba is pretty standard with other locations, nothing that makes it different from other locations. The bubble waffles are good, though takes a long time to make. Ice cream is good as well.
