My daughter’s favorite boba drink is the Dirty Brown Sugar latte w/ pearl, 30% ice, 50% sugar. She likes to add the star shaped peach jelly. I always recommend getting less sweet because the original sweetness is too sweet for us.Boba drinks are getting more and more expensive though, so coming here is more of a special treat for the kids. The original egg waffle with vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and powder sugar is only $7.49 so it’s a good deal! 3 of us shared it and we were full.This store is spacious and clean. It has regular table seating as well as floor seating on mats (which made my legs numb after a little, so we moved to the regular tables)It’s very easy to order on the kiosk.

I love this shop. It's very cute and cozy. My favorite thing is that I don't need to talk to anyone. Yay for in-store digital orders! Staff are friendly, but it's easier for me to order on the computers in the shop. Especially if I have a lot of things to get... which I did the first time I visited. It will definitely be my go-to after kbbq and hotpot, which are very close by.Parking: I am not a good parallel parker, so I was happy to be a little lucky and found a 15-minute diagonal parking spot across from the restaurant. I personally wouldn't pay to park here if I'm not also eating in one of the restaurants, it would simply be too short of a visit.

CC's Fitness Hour Lets Motivate To Lose Some Weight
I got the brown sugar milktea and my daughter, got the macha strawberry tea and a strawberry mochi donut. The brown sugar milktea was amazing. Loved it. The Macha tea was kinda chalky in the strawberry bobas were gross unfortunately. It kinda had the texture of deformed peas. The bobas had little to no flavor . The tablet that you ordered on was malfunctioning,had to tap the screen a lot of times.The brown sugar milk tea and the strawberry mochi donut was really good though. It was cool they had games and some people wrote funny messages on the jenga blocks.

Whenever I'm at rockville this gong cha is my to go place to get boba. I usually get taro milk tea but today I wanted to get a thai iced tea. Big mistake because It didn't taste anything like thai iced tea the flavor was way off. idk what they put in it but they put too much of the syrup and it overpower the entire drink. Had to throw away after 2 sips because it honestly made me want to throw up.

I've visited several locations in the area but this one is definitely my favorite. I haven't had to interact much with the crew ever since they stopped taking orders (unless you have cash), but they are always friendly and helpful if needed. What makes this my favorite store, though, is how well-done the drinks are. They are always just so on point. I love how Gong Cha offers so much variety and their ever-evolving menu makes it impossible to get bored. But on the flipside, they have their "core" drinks + toppings that you can always rely on. I also love their rewards program.

Good flavor options and good customer service but several times now I've noticed that there has been a distinct soapy taste to the bubble teas. This is a consistently busy place so maybe containers are not being rinsed throughly enough when washed and there is still some soap left. Never had a customer service issue here and management was really professional when I pointed it out and remade it perfectly (which is why I kept going) but noticed the same thing happened after that.

Pro: parking garage, games, self ordering kiosk. Con: none. After eating at the hotpot restaurant that was next door me and some friends decided to swing by and get some bubble tea. Upon entering you have two self ordering kiosks and the left and some table seating on the right. Use the self ordering kiosks to customize your drink and order any food that they offer and pay. They have games such as jenga you can play as you drink. The environment was clean and organized. There some limited free parking in the front but if needed a parking garage is available. The first two hours are free. All in all, a pretty good place to stop by and get some good bubble tea

It takes a little bit more effort to park and walk over to the shops/restaurants here. I usually park in the garage connected to Safeway, but it costs $6/hr after 2 hours fyi. Otherwise, it is very rare to be able to get a spot out front.The drinks here are good, just like how Gong Cha usually makes them so no complaints much about the quality. You can also use the touchscreen near the entrance to place orders.The customer service is just okay. I guess because it's a bunch of kids and possibly their first jobs, but meh. Expected.The seating area isn't always clean and sometimes I have to wipe tables before using them.Otherwise, it's just your standard Gong Cha really. Nothing bad, nothing amazing, but just standard.

Gong Cha is an okay tea place, but I have had better drinks. We ordered the oolong milk tea and passion fruit green tea with aiyu jelly. They didn’t put a lot of aiyu jelly, and even at 30%, I still think it is a bit sweet. Based on the other drink options at the area, this is probably going to be your best choice.
