Bubble Tea near Springfield

“First of all, I'm a boba LOVER! I know when the tea is good, and when I say Gong Cha is incredible, I MEAN it! The place is so pretty and has lots of cute decorations. It has a wide menu with lots of options. You can order on a little screen if you don't want to order directly, and you can choose how much sweetness, how large the cup is, sometimes the ice, and what toppings. The workers are very polite, and your order is quick. There's also some arcade machines and lots of sitting options, like chairs, tables, and a sofa. Love the place, I always crave it!“

“I’ve been here twice since I was introduced to this place. Both time were good experiences. Customer service is good. I’ve had the matcha red bean slush w/ bubbles & the Oreo slush with bubbles... both were great. & I like their boba bc they are cooked just right. I would recommend people to come.“

“We went to the Haywood Mall grand opening today and absolutely loved the energy!!!! The drinks were soooo delicious and of course I bought a key chain! The boys also played a game and won tumblers🥰“

“The most affordable, fast and tasty lunch option in the area. It’s a family-owned spot with great lunch specials and options for vegetarians. Highly recommend. It’s more of a takeout spot, but they have a few seats if you need to eat lunch in house“

“Asia Bistro at Pentagon Row is the ideal location to eat and chat with friends on the weekend. Try one of their bento boxes for lunch or enjoy an evening for two with your Asian fusion entrees.“

“The coffee is fantastic! And the people who work there go out of their way to get your beverage perfect.“

“My favorite KF Tea store ever!!

Their green tea and green tea bases drinks will always be my favorite, something that I always go back to. ???

This location in particular is clean, service
is quick, I will be back to try all of the flavors?“

“The boba is the best I’ve ever had. The staff is really nice and the service is the best! They have great merch and food as well. This is my favorite boba place of all time!

Kid-friendliness: Vibrant colors…great atmosphere for kids!“

“I am a frequent customer and their bubble tea is Always the same consistency, which is why I keep returning. The prices are very reasonable compared to the senseless outrageous prices of others. It seems like a family owned business, so customer service is always great.“

“Good service and great staff. My daughter loved her tea.“

“My 4-month-old and I absolutely love this place. The ambiance, environment, and design are wonderfully spacious and kid-friendly. The top-notch food and drinks, especially the fresh sugar cane juice, are my personal favorites. My little one would probably agree if he could express it (maybe in a year). Overall, I'd rate this place 9.5/10. The only thing missing is an entertainment center or a selfie/promo spot for young adults, but they more than make up for it with their incredible drink.“

“Amazing tea, great staff, definitely recommend!“

“Refreshing drink on a hot day and very flavorful
The Mini stands for the size of the establishment, but not their selection of flavors. Lots of choices and yummy add ons. This Color Switch drink was so cool to watch flipped upside down.“

“Omg! Great tea shop! Just stopped in and took a recommendation for the Jasmine milk tea with boba, awesome. Please open one in Colorado, we have a huge demographic for tea. Thanks!“

“Delicious boba—especially the taro milk one! And it's a really cool atmosphere with chill music!“

“We are regulars as we live nearby, some of the best fruit teas in Alexandria. We come once every 2-3 weeks (when we can resist). I also love their taro with almond milk too, and they have friendly service and an inviting atmosphere. Super close to the metro, too. Give them a try!

Dietary restrictions: They have almond and oat milk as substitutes for lactose! Not sure about gluten, but they would tell you if you asked.

Parking: Usually there’s at least one street spot open in front, and if not there is also a free parking garage around the corner when you head towards the Colecroft condos, and 3 retail spots you can use too. The walk is short.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“

“I love trying out places with unique drinks and Ben Gong's Tea in Annandale is a location with many unique drinks. Of course, they have your traditional boba tea and various fruits teas but I love their fermented rice milk tea series. I appreciate how a lot of their drinks come with crystal jellies already too. Also highly recommend their strawberry yukult if you love fruity and sweet drinks!

Their drinks are not very sweet to begin with so if you prefer sweeter drinks I recommend going with 70%+ sugar. Around 50% and less it isn't really sweet anymore!“

“Wish Tea is on the first floor of Tyson Center. The store has a nice and large environment, but it's not very obvious and easy to miss. The taste is okay! It's not the kind of flavor that makes people feel amazing, and I won't go out to repurchase it, but it is a smooth cup of milk tea. If I happen to be thirsty, I will buy a cup to quench my thirst. This is the first time I have seen a super large cup capacity, which is very good. The grass jelly is quite delicious, I recommend adding some.“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“This place is unique and a delight to have in pentagon row! They have flavors I’ve never had anywhere before. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is made in house and it’s absolutely wonderful! Good excuse to take a walk to try every flavor! Yummy!!!“

“Nice and fast service, we’re love it“

“One tip! This place is underground down a set of stairs! Other than that it is simple to find! Their atmosphere is super friendly they have sitting tables Japanese style and a grass wall. Their boba drinks are really good! They are on the sweeter side and a good size!“

“A great bubble milk tea spot that gives trendy, neighborhood bar vibes, complete with high top tables and a crowded bar. Well staffed with a patient and efficient crew - employees make time to chat with customers and friends while keeping the order queues moving.

We've visited twice and found the menu easy to understand, ordering was quick, and drinks were spot on. Waited 5 minutes for order of 2 specialty teas one night (~5 other patrons in restaurant) and 20 minutes for 1 "regular" milk tea (30-40 people at tables and milling about, inside and out).

The tea combos were great, but the boba itself is probably what will keep us coming back. Sweet and flavorful, with just a great texture - a hard to describe consistency of fresh squishy marshmallows, in an orb form.

Great alternative to the cliche bars or coffee shops for teens and twenty-somethings to chat with friends; however, older adults (i.e. me) will not feel alienated. Not a quiet place, so I do not recommend it as a place to study.“

“long line but was worth it“

“A staple of the Crystal City Area. I’ve been frequenting this establishment for years and don’t have a bad thing to say about them. While it might look quaint it makes great boba, they know what they are doing. It might not be the fanciest drink you can get but it sure is tasty. Keep in mind if ordering online their large is LARGE, so unless you want a ton of boba (no judgment if you do) I’d stick with the medium. Hope they aren’t put out of business due to Amazon coming in, since it is such a fantastic place.“

“Drinks are absolutely delicious and so fresh. They use fresh fruits and not artificial powder. The bobas are soft and chewy too. Service is exceptionally great! Love this place!!“

“Great place to hang with friends. When you want to get boba with your friends come here. Grab a board game or bring your own. Bathroom is nice check it out. I thought maybe it wasn't going to be good but I was wrong. The ice cream waffle dessert is something I enjoy getting. Similar to a kung fu tea. I come to this place right after pho 75. I never had any problems. It seems like a hardworking environment.“

“Fun food, good portions, friendly environment“

“Nice placeI couldn't find it at the beginning! But then I noticed it.You order through the screen and I like that you can control the sugar and everything big in your drink !It was nice quick and neatMy son loved it .Prices in an averageStaff where all young and niceLess space for setting!“

“I came here because I was craving a Boba Drink. I decided to order the Large Oreo Wow. Due to the Wow Pearl's not being ready, I was still able to receive the black Boba pearls in it and the Brown Sugar Flavor to make it taste so delicious.

The drink to me tasted like an Oreo Milkshare with the crumbles on the bottom. I enjoyed the drink and will be heading back to try a different drink each time. I do think the drinks are fairly priced.

The store has a cozy environment where you can relax and play some of the games if the pieces aren't missing.

Parking: This is a free parking space, there are not many spaces in front but there is plenty of parking on the side as well.

Kid-friendliness: The store is kid friendly. It has plenty of drinks that you can customize to your liking, and if the pieces are available their are a few games for kids to play with.“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“My favorite boba tea place in town! 🧋😋“

“100% recommended. Came here one hour before they closed because my friend wanted to try the Blended Milo, since no place seems to have the exact one in Vietnam. I got myself the egg cream milk tea. It turned out that they both tasted EXACTLY the same as the type of boba we had in Vietnam. We’ve been coming back every single week ever since then. Very sad to see that they’re pretty slow at night. Hope to see more and more people coming to support this small boba shop ?“

“best bun cha ha noi in town.“

“Great selection of teas!!“

“Yummy Boba. And I like that you can adjust the sugar level. I got the coffee milk tea + traditional boba at 50% sugar. It was just the right amount of sweet.
Both my kids got their drinks at 75% and it was also a good level of sweetness.
We had the Frankenstein and the Pineapple Hawaii Ice Tea.“

“Super cute restaurant design! Service was great-super attentive and gave great suggestions on what to try. I got their custom poke bowl- roasted pork banh mi, egg rolls and brown sugar boba along with a thai tea boba! Everything was spot on, happy to have found this restaurant! Their menu option has a good variety too if youre not just feeling viet food:)“

“Justin, you’re the best! Thank you your coworker too who made my drink whom I forgot to ask for his name. Look at how good it is. Tastes great obviously. You guys are wonderful! Seriously, any place would be lucky to have you both as part of their team with your great personality and service. Thanks again, and I hope you guys will get all the recognition that you deserve!“

“Excellent boba shop that lives up to the Gong Cha name. I would venture to say that the staff at this location are friendlier than most of the locations I've been to in recent years, if that's possible. Good service, excellent brew and reusable cups. Even with competing options at Eden, this place is still a winner.“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“One of the best in the area 💯💯“

“Love this place! Our friends took us here one night and can't get enough of it“

“I always go here for Pho. I like their spring roll, very tasty. The staff is friendly. Their lunch special comes with a drink and spring roll and it is pretty cheap.“

“excellent offerings. loved it. will be back for the ice cream“

“Well prepared to your order. first time having shaved ice cream. staff courtesy and attentive to detail“

“My favorite Pad thai with shrimp“

“Best quality and yummy flavors love it“

“Vietnamese Coffee with Sea Salt Cream and flan 🍮 is very unique. It has a nice smooth creamy taste and very refreshing too. I like the taste, sweetness and texture. I definitely come back for more. A must try if you have not“
