They have some fake reviews, click on the profile of some of these 5 stars and you will see they have reviewed only the other stores, each time claiming or hinting at the fact it’s supposedly their first time. Lol idk how owners think ppl aren’t gonna catch on to stuff like this. It takes one click to view someone’s profile and see their other reviews. Best be careful messing with fake reviews especially when they tie into advertising; can spark up some fraud charges rly fast when you don’t know federal regulations around advertising/ sponsorship programs… Also your actions could get Google in trouble if they find out and take no action, especially when google has partnerships and paid services with many companies to use googles services for marketing and you’re using fraudulent tools/tactics to essentially take money from other businesses nearby; by inflating your reviews. Hmm maybe I should look into this more spread the word to nearby businesses that work with google for marketing services and tell them to reach out to their contact.*****After owner responded here is an example of 2 profiles that have reviewed them and 1 also claimed it’s their first time, and they had so many questions lmao how is it your first time when you already reviewed this franchise more than once??? Inflating views in return for paid services is not non sense I’ve been around internet marketing before the YouTube boom the twitch boom and all that, there are a lot of new regulations and rules you gotta follow now since those booms and if you knowingly are allowing fake reviews you can be punished by the FTC so maybe learn about the non sense you claim??

Although the drink is decent, being asked whether we are leaving a tip or not at the drive-thru window determines that this visit will be our last.

Some of the drinks are much better than others, and there’s plenty of options. I don’t really like the slushes.The star jelly is fun.

After discovering Gong Cha overseas, I’ve been in love with the establishment. Granted, every state/city seems to have a few things different, the service and quality has always been consistent!The one thing I like particularly is that the sugar levels can be adjusted. I usually opt for mine at 30% and it’s still sweet enough to be enjoyable. Definitely reccomend a creme brulee brown sugar milk tea with pudding; it does not disappoint! :) they also have non-dairy drinks, might have to check about non-dairy milks!Parking: Parking is easy access and available.Kid-friendliness: Inside there are board games and toys to entertain the kids while waiting.

There's not much seating inside, but that's not why you come here. Lol It could be a nice hangout spot, but there's limited chairs in such a large space. Anyways, everyone enjoyed their drink. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, but if I'm on this side of town, I'll definitely pop in to try another flavor.These are popular in Korea, so I was excited to see them in SA.

Bought to go a matcha tea latte and a taro milk tea. Honestly the flavor and consistency is watered down. You guys definitely need to improve the recipe of the drinks. , definitely not worth $7 /drink

I have been here a few times before and it was really good. My favorite was the strawberry milk slush. However, I went today and it took about 5-10 minutes to even be approached let alitake my order (there was no one in front of me). Then it took about another 10-15 to actually get my order (two slush drinks and a bubble waffle cone with ice cream). The crew working though was having a great ol' time with their friends. The slushies were just ice. No flavor. I threw them in the trash. It's unfortunate but the service was definitely lacking today.

The service was a little slow, but my earl grey tea with boba tasted great. I liked it better than my usually milk tea at share tea. The store has a large seating area, where you can borrow games. They also have some cute bubble tea themed items for sale and small pastries or macaroons at the front. I've been to a Gong Cha in Houston, and I felt like the taste in SA was better.
We got the strawberry milk slushie and the passion fruit slushie. Both were just right on a hot day.
