Love bubble tea and I love you Chatime for bringing bubble tea to Mawson Lakes.But, I need to…read moreupdate my review, you have changed and so must my review. Chatime once offered so many flavours and combinations of bubble tea. Now to make it "less complicated" many flavours and options have been removed. You can still choose from green or black tea, milk, but the amount of ice and sugar is not as variable as it used to be, and many of the flavours have disappeared. For that reason, you have lost a star. This little store can get really busy, yet staff are always friendly and work super fast. Furthermore, the bench space is always clean and free from clutter. I was a barista for 6 years and I know how hard it is too keep your work space free from spills and mess during a busy rush. The store has an upbeat vibe and there is always music playing. Sometimes there is a massive line and no one is able to take orders because they've gone to help make drinks. Also, it annoys me that you have to pay 50 cents for your reward card. But, that's not on you Chatime Mawson Lakes, I realise that is a company policy. Thanks for feeding my bubble tea addiction.

I'm not too surprised that no one knows about this place because no one would think going to…read moreHindley Street for a bubble tea. Pretty sure I've seen it in Melbourne and Sydney but this is their first branch here. What sets Easyway apart from the established competition is the price and (formerly) the portions. They used to have a 'Mega' 1 Litre bubble tea for $6! 6$!!! That is amazing because my average order from gongcha would be around $5.50-$6.50 depending on how generous I was feeling. But they don't have it anymore....I'm so sad. Onto the tea itself. 90% of the time I'll get the fresh fruit teas with black or green tea because I'm not a fan of the fake dairy creamer they use. Also, lychee and grapefruit are my go to flavours. What I like about Easyway is that they balance the syrup and tea really well, usually better than Chatime or Gongcha. Chatime sometimes adds too much syrup and so does Gongcha. I can actually taste the slight bitterness in the tea (which I like), it works with the sweetness of the syrup. Maybe this is because I always get at least 50% sugar since it's difficult to drink a cup of syrup. The staff seem friendlier and are more generous with toppings which is always nice. Price also sets Easyway apart. Since I buy it so often this is the real big factor. It depends on the flavour you get, but it is in general cheaper than Gongcha and Chatime. Too bad the 1 L size is gone (I would have given 5 stars for that). FInally, I'm not disappointed with location but I really only get it when I'm at uni. Otherwise, it's not worth the walk from Chinatown. Also, it closes at 9pm when others open till 10-11 so that's anothing thing to keep in mind. No card either. GIve it a try if you can because in my opinion overall it is the better option!

Yes, I know, it is full of sugar and probably not the healthiest for you. But, I think it tastes better than any soft drink. However, I have never really been a fan of the milky bubble teas. I always go for the fruit tea kind. In fact, I generally order the same kind everywhere. Lychee iced tea. What I like about Gong Cha is that they offer Lychee Oolong Tea. Which tastes a lot better than other bubble tea places that offer lychee with black tea varieties. The Oolong version is a lot lighter and refreshing. Only thing I have found with Gong Cha is that the pearls are not as sweeter as other stores. Not sure why? They are not as big either. I really love it when the pearls are big, chewy and sweet. Oh well... The bonus is though that you can add diced lychee to the drink as well for extra flavour. That is really worth while.

Move over ChaTime, Bubble Cup, and all you other bubble tea outlets. Gongcha is as good as it gets,…read moreand to prove I can put my money where my mouth is, I was in amongst the crazy long queue at Gongcha when they first opened in Adelaide. Because they are simply - the best - when it comes to the bubble tea business. Let me tell you something. Bubble Tea should not be made from syrup. It is Tea. Not Syrupy nonsense. The pearls (tapoica starch balls) should be soft and somewhat gooey but still with bite. If it's firm, hard and chalky in the middle, spit them out. Yuck. Gongcha is the only place I know that does their pearls fairly close to how it is done in the bubble tea motherland - Taiwan. First time to Gongcha? No worries. Get their signature teas to start you off. Milk Foam anything is good. I personally adore Milk Foam Alishan Tea , Milk Foam Oolong Tea and Milk Foam Green Tea. That's half their signature tea selection already, whoops. They also mention that you can mix the milk foam into the tea. What a waste, don't do it! Alternate sipping between the milk foam and the tea and slipped gently into the milky foamy goodness that is Milk Foam from Gongcha. YUM. You can also ask them to lessen the sugar / ice etc. But I absolutely adore the fact that you can taste that they have brewed properly. It is mindblowing to have bubble tea that taste like tea. OHEMGEE. Can you tell I love Gongcha? Run - don't walk! And don't go back to other bubble tea places... save your money for the real deal at Gongcha!
