Props to the solo worker on Friday afternoon juggling all the others and making delicious drinks so quickly.

Would like to see the Levitea series improved with more options and larger size options. I prefer low sugar and all the other options besides teas have a 0% sugar option but they still come out sweet. read more

Dropped by around noon on a weekday and there was a good amount of customers waiting around which is always a good sign of business. There was only one employee managing the place, taking orders and making drinks. There is also a kiosk at the front door if customers choose to do so with making orders. I ordered a variety of drinks ranging with tea, milk tea, and juice refreshers. I had a sample of each drink as I shared with family and all were good and well balanced as customers can customize to their own liking. Customer service was good as she asked me the various levels for ice and sweetness. Not all places ask and I mean other brand stores (not gong cha) where the drink ends up as a diabetes buster. I suggest 50% sweetness (max amount I can take) and 25% ice level. Currently there is a promotoion with purchases over $32, a free tumbler with Line Characters is given. Only the white option was available at the time. Super cute and excellent promotional value. read more

Ever since Gong Cha took out their Felix promotion, I have been trying to taste all his favorite picks and get some of his merchandise. I ordered his pick for the Brown Sugar Boba with pearls. It was just the right sweetness and definitely lived up to my expectations. The service was very friendly and helpful. The place inside is very cute and definitely provides that boba vibe. I am excited to come back here for more delicious drinks. And I will keep a lookout for more new promotions. read more

Gong Cha is always a staple of mine whenever I am looking for boba and they happened to have a convenient location near shopping and some good restaurants. Note: Gong Cha locations use a non-dairy creamer but beware, these almost always still contain whey which is a dairy derivative. It's a common misnomer so always ask for non-dairy milk if you are vegan like myself or adverse to dairy products/have an allergy. In order to get a non-dairy drink, I was told to order from the Fresh Milk Menu. I did so with my Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Oat Milk and it was satisfying overall. It is indeed quite sweet even with 50% sugar so I'd advise to go even less if you aren't wanting a completely sweet drink. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

We went to UPS to do some stuff and while waiting I saw this tea shop. We hung out while we waited for our order coz it was cooler here than in UPS lol It's a typical bobba shop but cute and neat. There were 4 tables with chairs. Very efficient. You get to enter your order and pay on a small kiosk and just wait 10-15 minutes. They have all kinds of milk teas and smoothies. Will come back so I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area or lives closeby. Lots of parking and you can do a one stop shop since there's a grocery store and a UPS next door as well. Forgot to take pictures inside though read more

Quick boba stop! Two kisoks available if you don't want to interact with the staff. Cleanliness is just okay.. not sure about the cleaning interval but there was leftover straw wrapper on the table. I mean it's also on the customers to pick up after themselves too... Crazy how even Gong Cha is like $7 now for a large drink . read more

Drinks are always solid, better than a lot of the tea stores around the area. Wait can sometime be long if ordering on the kiosk in the store. Good seating area if on a weekday, weekends can be busy. If you're in the area and need your milk tea fix you can't go wrong with this spot read more

I've been coming here multiple times and they are consistently good. They have so many drink options so I love coming back to try new drinks. The drinks we got this time were the Brown Sugar Earl Grey (which I've never heard of before) and the regular Pearl Milk tea. These were both perfect sweetness and had the right amount of toppings! Parking can be tricky here since there are so many stores around it. I do like how you can order with the workers or through the self serve kiosks. The staff were friendly too! read more

Brown sugar earl gray milk tea is so good! Good customer service and they're always quick.

Considering how much I've been a regular here, it's clear - I love it. Whenever I'm craving a boba drink, Gong Cha is usually one of the first places I think of. This location is super convenient for me and since it's part of the larger target plaza, there's always tons of parking. The shop itself isn't huge. There's two tables inside with a couple of chairs along the wall as well. But folks (including me) mostly take their drinks to go. They always have a rotating menu of seasonal specials, so if you're looking to try something new, they've usually got something different for you to try. But they also have all the classics. My go-to is always the pearl milk tea. In the summer, I'll get it iced/cold. In the winter, I'll get it hot. Great both ways. It does come out sweeter though, so if you're like me and aren't a fan of super sweet drinks, definitely adjust that sweetness level to 50% or less. They also have fun merch (key chains, different kinds of cups, souvenir mugs, etc). Keep an eye out on their instagram or just stop by to see what they've got. Since opening, they've adopted a kiosk system to make ordering more independent. You can still order at the register and ask the staff if you have any questions. But if you're just grabbing & going, you can easily order your drinks and be on your way without having much interaction with the staff. They don't have a ton of food on their menu, but be sure to try one of their mochi waffles for an additional sweet treat! read more

Finally!! A Gong Cha so close that I could get to it anytime of the day or week that I crave boba! We love gong cha - especially the mango milk tea, which is our absolute favorite. Love how you can taste the bits of mango in every sip. Like all the other gong Cha's, they serve up good quality and authentic tea. The staff is efficient and nice. Sometimes they don't answer the phone but they are really good about texting you and answering any questions you have. They now have an app that we have been enjoying so that we can preorder and it's there when we arrive. Really convenient and they are running promos on it now. Sign up for their emails to keep up to date on their other promos. Love how it's near target, a Filipino grocery store, AND charging station so I can shop, drink and charge all in one trip! Of special note is that they currently have a promo bogo happy hour mon-th 1:30-3pm! Looks like I'll be coming a bit more! read more

Wanted to catch the BOGO promotion posted on this Yelp Gung Cha info. Which is written from 1:30-3:00pm M-Thurs. unfortunately, despite me showing them the posted special, the manager just kept saying "Sorry we ended this promotion" several times. Very disappointed that this woman owned business doesn't stay accountable for the things they post. read more

DANGEROUS NUTRITIONAL MISINFORMATION! Two times now I have gone to this location and they always describe their milk powder as "plant based" when in fact, it is not plant based at all. Since I have a dairy allergy I always ask boba places what their vegan options are. The employees at gong cha keep saying, "Our milk powder is plant based which means it's vegan". This is dangerous since their milk powder actually has whey powder in it. Whey is dairy. Dairy comes from cows. So yeah, not plant based. I ask them to double check the ingredients and sure enough, they see that there is whey in there. If someone were to just take their word that their powder is plant based, they could get very sick or have a bad allergic reaction. Please, managers at this location, do something about this. Who knows how many people have been wrongly served a drink with dairy in it. read more

This is the best Gong Cha location in the Bay Area. It's located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and indoor seating. Compared to other Gong Cha locations, the employees here are well informed about promotions and collaborations. While the drink quality can be inconsistent at times, as some reviewers have noted, most of my visits have been positive with drinks that are well made. read more

Small place with a few tables to sit down. Maybe only enough it fit 10-12 ppl in total. I usually order something off the menu but I was feeling some ice cream and pudding due to craving something sweet. 3/5 - black tea with egg pudding and ice cream - Black tea was quite strong so I liked that however there was little to no ice cream in the drink despite I paid extra for. The egg pudding was decent tho. read more

Came here specifically for the gingerbread bottles, but their drinks are usually really good. I went right when the opened. Friendly staff, greeted us right away and told us the wait would be about 15 minutes for the boba. Strawberry milk tea with milk foam & boba: Everything about this drink was perfect! Tastes good with the foam. Boba was chewy and sweet. Taro milk tea with milk foam: Really good without the foam. It tastes kind of like the sweet corn chips. Can taste the taro and bits. :( Also, why did you put the sticker right in the front of the bottle? Tried to take it off before it dried, but didn't work. read more

You can't go wrong with a Wintermelon Drink from Gong Cha! Fresh milk, half sweet, and less ice is my perfect order. A medium size for less than $5? Pretty good! This is also a decaffeinated drink, which is great for kids and late-night boba runs (they close at 9 PM). This was my go-to boba chain while in college, so I'm happy to see this location open up. Their prices are fair and the baristas work quickly. My order was prepared in just a minute! read more

Gong Cha opened where Subway once was. Small location easily missed. it's next to Starbucks. seating along both walls inside. known initially for their "foam tea", Gong Cha has broaden their offerings... offerings: smoothie, sparkling, snacks, milk foam, creative mix, fresh milk, brewed tea, milk tea... drink: star Jelly grapefruit green tea (L. 6.25) 25% sugar 30% ice -gong cha doesn't make any "fruit tea" per se. instead, their "creative mix" is a blend of fruit juices, teas, ice cream, and jellies. -the grapefruit juice overwhelmed the green tea, drink essentially a tart & sweet juice concoction. -star jelly is a star shaped jelly that's slightly sweet. *fruit tea is way tastier and healthier than any "creative mix". read more

The store was quite small and nestled in the corner. I've never really ordered drinks from Gong-Cha before, so I wasn't sure what was good. The worker in the front was very nice and helpful. He helped recommend some drinks to us. I ended up getting the Strawberry Milk Tea w/Creme Brûlée milk foam. The strawberry milk tea was full of fresh strawberry flavor, I loved it! However, it was a little sweet. Overall, I would come back again if I'm in the area. Strawberry milk tea is my go-to from now on! My sister's drink was tasty too. She ordered the Sparkling QQ Passionfruit. read more

This location of Gong Cha recently opened and shares the same plaza as Target and Seafood City. It's located at the corner of the plaza by Game Stop and Starbucks. It's a pretty tiny location with only a handful of tables so I would not plan to hang out here. The staff was very friendly and though there can be a line, it moves quickly. I got the Black Sugar Milke Tea as well as a Creme Brulee Mochi Waffle. The drink was pretty standard for Gong Cha so if you've been to another location, expect the same quality of drink. In terms of the Creme Brulee Mochi Waffle, it was good, but I don't know that it was worth the price. I'll pass on this the next time and just stick with the drinks. I'm so glad that we have another option for milk tea in the area! read more

Gong Cha is now open in Hayward! It's located in the corner of the Skywest Plaza next to Starbucks. I ordered what's probably their most popular drink, QQ Passion Fruit Green Tea, and it was perfectly made. The boba was still warm and soft and the coconut jellies were sweet. I ordered the drink at 50% sweet and it was the perfect level for me to still bring out the refreshing tartness of the passion fruit and roasted taste of the tea. My fiance ordered the Premium Oolong Milk Tea which was creamy and more on the milkier side than tea but still good. Staff and service is friendly, the store has a two large tables and a few smaller tables. They do not accept cash, only card and mobile pay. They also use the Fivestars rewards program, just punch in your phone number and earn points with each purchase. Looking forward to if they have a grand opening event! read more

I'm a huge fan of Gong Cha. I've been here a few times since they've opened. My regular order is QQ Passionfruit Green Tea and it's so yummy. I do only get 70% sweet though so it's not too sweet. It's probably the best one I've had locally. I've also tried their mochi waffles which are warm and fluffy and the right amount of sweet. They're a great quick little treat. Every time I've come in here the staff was super helpful and welcoming. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. They have a few tables and chairs as well so there's definitely space to enjoy a drink or just comfortably wait for a drink. The parking lot is not my favorite since it's shared with so many different businesses so you may have to park deep in the lot and walk. I think it's worth it though! read more

Came in Sunday midday. Place was busy and there was only one tap screen on(working?). It was my first time at this location and it's a very small location. It was also sooo hot inside. It's December, I'm pretty sure they were just trying to make it warm today for patrons but with so many people, the heat Just made it worse. We opted to wait for our drinks at GameStop. I got the text that our drinks would take about 20min, which was a nice window to shop. We were only in GameStop for 15 and I decided to check on our drinks, even though I didn't get a text. I walk in and the drinks were on the counter. Good on time but who knows how long they'd been sitting there because our drinks were kinda melted. What we ordered: Creme Brulee Strawberry Milk Tea: 8/10 this is from my teen: it was good but the crème brûlée part had a little bit too much salt. Strawberry Milk Tea: 10/10 perfect balance of sweet Strawberry Milk Smoothie: 9/10: other teen said: it was real good it's just the bottom portion was already melted. Marble Strawberry with a pump of mango syrup: 9/10 real good but alas bottom portion was melted. read more

Their drinks tend to lean towards the sweeter side of things so perhaps take that into account when ordering. I usually order through their website and it's ready when I get there. It's tucked in the shopping center corner by Starbucks, T-Mobile, and Metro Taquero. Minimal seating inside, not really the type of place to pull out your laptop and try to study/work. It is close enough to Kennedy Park where you can sit and chill though. read more

I've been coming here a few times now since it's so close to my home and the place isn't that packed on a weekday afternoon. It's an excellent afternoon pick me up during work! I love how the tapioca pearls come out consistently almost perfect - soft, chewy, and delicious. The few times I've been here they haven't been hard. The drinks that I normally order (milk tea with pearls, QQ passion fruit green tea) with 25% sweetness come out in perfect sweetness for my taste (very subtle sweet, not too sweet). The milk tea has a good balance of milk and tea - I like how you can actually taste the tea. Same goes for flavored fruit teas that I've tried - the syrup/flavoring doesn't overpower the drink and I can actually taste the green tea. Their large is pretty big and it's bigger than the Teaspoon a few blocks away, for the same price. The location has tons of parking since it's located in a shopping plaza and the space is a decent size. Seating is available inside enough for a handful amount of groups. They also serve some sweet snacks, I wish they serve popcorn chicken here one day! read more

I'm excited there's decent boba in the area but there room for improvement. Their lobby is always dirty, with straw wrappers everywhere and sticky floors. It does not feel maintained.

Stopped by for a refreshing milk tea! Upon entering you immediately notice that the store is clean and was recently mopped. Not because it was wet but because it smells fresh!

Came here for the first time tonight and both drinks were pretty good! The matcha had good flavor, but i personally would have liked it more if i had gotten it sweeter. It was also my first time trying milk foam and it definitely did not taste anything like I was expecting. The only way i can describe it was it tasted like salty foam? Otherwise, the oolong milk tea was super good! They have quite a few tables to sit at inside, the drinks were made fast, and the workers were friendly! read more

So glad this place finally opened because now I have a boba spot walking distance from my house. I visited during their grand opening event where they had their BOGO on certain drinks. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea while my fiancé ordered the pearl milk tea. Both drinks turned out amazing and we had no complaints! The staff and owners were super nice and helpful. Even though the place was busy our drinks came out really quick. I will definitely be a returning customer to try out their strawberry milk smoothie read more

Cute small shop. Smaller than other boba shops, wouldn't recommend this as a go to spot to hang out but rather a grab and go

I love that we have a Gong Cha in the area now! We've ordered from them twice already. Drinks are up to what I expect based on the other Gong Cha locations I've been to. It seems like more and more people are finding out about their opening, which is great! We've ordered the Mango Green Tea, honey Green Tea, Mango Matcha and the Marble Mango (we are huge mango fans). All tasted good - no complaints! I do have my eyes on their strawberry drinks and may try that on my next visit! Service is quick and we haven't had any issues yet, especially from a shop that just had their grand opening! Not much seating but they have a few lounge chairs on the side. I look forward to coming back! read more
