6/6/26. Hubby got his taro smoothie and I got mango green tea. That was very refreshing!

Jennifer W.

6/6/26 I must admit, i'm not one to wait for more than 15 minutes for any kind of drink, hot or cold and for some reason, this one took at least 30 minutes, which is extraordinary for any kind of drink at all. Hence the 3 stars. The only 2 staff there, 2 young ladies were no slouch at all, they were slammed! They both moved with a purpose. It's a very small shop. There were 2 kiosks as soon as you walked in. I counted 11 customers including myself waiting for their drinks. No outdoor seating, only 3 small tables with 7 chairs, 1 bench that sat 4 adults, no restrooms. This used to a candy shop a while back. Normally I would take photos of the establishment but there were too many people inside & I did not want to bother them & include them in the photos, if I could help it at all. I ordered via kiosk coz the staff were ultra bz. Usually, I prefer the human interaction but not encountered at this visit. Got the taro smoothie for Hubby & got an iced mango green tea, both were decent. I liked my refreshing drink at 50 % sweetness level & easy on the ice. Next time, for any Gong Cha shop, will go on an odd time, not when it's prime time like weekends. It was good but waiting in a small shop for 30 minutes was long, if it was food for a party of 4 or more, I would've been more forgiving. Decor needs a little bit of work, nothing flashy, just, something, anything lol :-)

All gongho for Gong Cha. This bubble tea spot does it all. Their menu includes options like milk teas, fruit teas, and even energizing beverages. They also have mochi desserts for anyone seeking a small bite. I wanted to try something a little different and ordered the yogurt passionfruit fruit tea with boba. The drink was light and refreshing, but possibly a little too sweet for me. Either way though, I gulped this bad boy up while walking the many isles of Barnes & Noble. Looking forward to exploring more of their extensive tea menu.

6/5/26 Gong Cha Long Beach, CA...Came here at 9 am Opening. Met Henry who works here! Awesome guy! He made my XL upgraded Honey Lemon Levitea! Great drink, low calories, low sugar! I totally recommend everyone come check this place out as Henry shows great customer service and this specific drink was perfectly made! Cool little place to hang out in the morning! See you here!!!

Patricia U.

Amazing service, one gal running the whole packed store on her own with the biggest smile, so patient (my 1st time) and so helpful! 9 guests ahead of me. I ordered something with Matcha and Boba, so refreshing, not overly iced like most places, not overly sweetened; perfection! I really enjoyed it on my walk back to the marina. Not overly priced either. Love the ambiance, so many cute trinkets to purchase. I will definitely return!

Alexis A.

Gentleman at the counter was super sweet and quick at making drinks! I came in for the Felix PCs and he offered to trade my duplicates so I could complete the set :) The drinks were also delicious!! I bought a few for family and friends, and not one complaint of being overly sweet or too watered down. Thank you again!

Its always a good place to vibe, hang out, and get a drink or two...or maybe even four. The place is always clean and they have 2 self serve kiosks apart from the cashier so you dont wait long. They are really fast and its always a good time. Plenty of parking and they have the best staff!!!

This is a tiny boba shop at the Marina Pacifica near the movie theater. Plan to take your drinks to-go because there's nowhere to sit and chat. My peach yogurt had an odd sweet taste and it was also too sweet at 50% sweetness. Their service was great! The guy working last Wednesday in the afternoon was very kind and quick to make my drink. This place is worth another shot.

Newer Boba spot in Marina Pacifica. Very small place but organized. Parking is usually easy in this area. Service is ordering off the Kiosk (there are two to order from). We were greeted by someone in the back (at least two people were working the back area). We figured out quickly just to order off the kiosk vs waiting at the counter. Our drinks were very slow to come out. A party waiting in front of us (4 drinks) and then us (3 drinks) and two other single parties came in. The drinks are bit higher priced vs other Boba placed in Long Beach. We ordered two Thai Ice Teas, with added pearls (and up charge) and one Early Gray Milk Tea. All drinks were ordered with 50% sweetness and 50% ice. Ice was perfect. Sweetness, all three thought too sweet and very thankful we did 50%! Pearls were just okay, and not many in our drinks. Taste was good but not amazing. For the price and wait, we had higher expectations.

I usually really enjoy Gong Cha--especially their Logan Honey drink, which is perfect for people who can't have caffeine. However, this particular location isn't as good as others I've been to. The drink itself was just okay, but the boba was disappointing both times I visited--mushy on the outside and hard in the center, which really took away the enjoyment. The shop is also quite small with very limited seating, 2 tables only and few bench seatings making it less comfortable if you plan to stay and enjoy your drink. There are two kiosks for ordering, but it still took a while to get the drink. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and welcoming! If not because I wanted some drink before the movie , we probably wouldn't even come here..

Earl Grey Tea (medium, recommended 50% sweetness)

Gong Cha is a boba franchise that originally started in 2006 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. They have over 1,000+ locations worldwide and they just opened a new location here in Long Beach. I'm more surprised that it took me this long to finally try Gong Cha for the very 1st time. [Parking]: Easy and free parking - this plaza is pretty dead. [Amenities]: No restroom indoor and was told by cashier that restroom access is via AMC next door. Small indoor space with two tables and two outdoor patios. Honestly this is mostly a take-out spot. [Menu]: Customers can order in person or via kiosk machines. Some of more popular drinks are Earl Grey Fresh Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Milk Tea. I was surprised to see kiosk machines provided automatic recommendation on sweetness level for my drink. *** Earl Grey Tea (medium, recommended 50% sweetness): Right sweetness level, but the drink just didn't hit the spot. *** Overall this is an alright tea shop - think of this shop as a convenient tea shop to stop by in this part of the town & I wouldn't drive out of the way for it.

This little cafe is wedged in to the Marina Pacifica shopping center on the AMC theaters and Howard's Appliances side. There should be plenty of parking available on any given day and they are open late (which is great news when you randomly have a boba craving and other places are closed). I've typically ordered their version of the brown sugar milk with boba and while the pearls are on the softer side of what I prefer, prices for a medium drink feel reasonable ($6ish). You can order from the kiosk to expedite if you're really thirsty! The interactions I've had with staff have been friendly - smiles when order is called, compliments on my little dog - and I will likely come back to perhaps try a caffeinated drink one of these days when I'm not rolling in before midnight!

Paul L.

Kiosk order vs. personal order - there's a great debate on which is preferred. While I believe kiosks are the way of the future, they lack the personal touch of interacting with the shop staff. What could have taken me less than a minute to order by asking the cashier for their top preferences, I ended up browsing through the kiosk back and forth, trying to decide what to order. Although I could have easily walked over to the cashier and asked, I was captivated by the colorful and cheery flavors displayed on the big screen. I ordered MANGO MILK from their Slush Series. It came out creamy with chunks of visible mango pieces throughout the drink. The flavor was acceptable, but I thought the price was pretty steep at nearly $8. Total time spent browsing through the kiosk: 5 minutes. Waiting period: less than 2 minutes.

Grace J.

Very small boba shop near the AMC theatre and it's decorated so cute! Not only do they have a variety of drinks and seasonal drinks but they also sell blind boxes and keychains! The barista was kind and it seems like a one-man-show behind the counter. No real seating area with tables - it's more of a to-go stop

My mom and I visited this location and enjoyed our drinks. I got the Pearl Milk Tea and she got the Mango Green Tea. However, her drink was a little too sweet despite getting 30% sweetness. It's 5 miles from where I live, but it's worth it. I prefer going cha over other boba places. It's usually not busy. read more

The owner was there as she was super sweet! She helped me out by answering any questions about my dietary restrictions. She also let us know that you can bring the boba into the movie theater next store which is super nice. I got the Thai milk tea boba with almond milk and it was delicious. They also had free samples of the jelly & boba outside as well as some tea that you can add to it. Very pleasant experience and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

The cashier is a sweetheart (8/29/24)! Super helpful and patient-wish this entire location with same workers were closer to me, though. I ordered the strawberry earl grey milk tea with white pearls at 70% sweetness and it was absolutely perfect. The recommended sweetness level for all drinks appears to be 50%, though. My friend got the creme brulee milk tea and he liked his a lot too. Also, if you get 2 large drinks then you can spin the wheel for cute charms and baubles (do eeet!). read more

We had a disappointing experience at this Gong Cha yesterday, which was our first visit to this location. We arrived when it opened and when we ordered we were told by the manager a new employee was making the boba and it would be 10 more minutes, which is fine. Finally, 16 minutes later our drinks were ready and we left. When we tried the drink with the boba a few minutes later the boba was very hard, rubbery and unpleasant. Obviously, the manager didn't even check the new employee's product. This was a big disappointment and a waste of $8. read more

So glad to have a boba spot in this shopping center! Service is friendly and it's a cutely decorated. There's only one small table and a bench inside though so not exactly the ideal place to work or study, even though they do have free WiFi. I like the self-service kiosks too because sometimes I want to take my time exploring the menu and options. So many flavors and choices!

If you love a classic milk tea, this is a great spot. Ordering is quick through their kiosk system, and they have a few seats in their small entrance to wait for your drink. Though there are a few seats inside to sit at, it is definitely more of a pickup and go kind of boba cafe. I ordered their Jasmine milk tea with 30% sugar and it was nice and satisfying. Not sure if they offer milk alternatives here - but still really great drinks! Parking is easy, as this spot sits in a large plaza that has plenty of free parking. read more

This place deserves five stars, mainly due to the outstanding customer service. I recently reconnected with my cousin after many years, and this has become his go-to boba spot whenever we're in the mood for a cold drink. The staff warmly greeted me each time I visited and offered assistance with my order. They provide two convenient ways to order: use the self-checkout tablets or place your order at the cashier. I prefer the self-checkout because it allows me to browse the drink options at my own pace. Located in the Marina Pacific plaza next to Barnes & Noble, this spot is hard to miss and has plenty of parking. The drinks are delicious, and I've never encountered one I didn't enjoy, especially as a foodie. I'm thrilled they opened a boba place right by the 2nd Street area in Long Beach.

Kiosk machines are not user friendly. Won't let you customize the drinks. Only the sweetness level, ice amount and size. Then they were out of lychee tea. Service was slow. Response to owner - Have you tried using the kiosk? I suggest you try a pretty common drink of matcha with strawberry and add the basil seeds, was not an option for you to be able to do this. And yes, I waited to talk to staff to place the order which I shouldn't have to do when you have the kiosk available. Update your menu if items are no longer available. read more

I've forgotten to add boba before one time and the lady helping me was so sweet enough to add some without charging me extra.

So if I had to rate the drinks themselves, I'd say middle of the road. Not bad and not great just ok. We used the self ordering system which at the end does require you to sign up for the rewards program with no visible option to skip or ignore. Then after the receipt printed we noticed a "convenience" charge. It was a whooping .26 cents, however if there was a posting somewhere that we would be charged to put in our order to allow, who looked like the only employee there, a bit of breather to work, would have been nice. Lastly, we did grab the seasonal cups and the labels that are used for the drinks must be using superglue as adhesive because it was soaking in hot water for a while, used vinegar and rubbing alcohol and still sticky. Don't know if I would return as I have had better teas and I didn't have to pay to cosplay as a worker for gongcha to place my order. read more

My bf and I came to eat Buffalo Wild Wings, instantly saw Gong Cha, asked him if we can stop by afterwards. He first thought it was a furniture store lol but you know, as a tea person I had a feeling it was a tea spot As we walked in, we had the warmest greetings from the ladies who served us. I overheard them speak my language which is a Cambodian language called Khmer-- automatically I connected with them! I felt so proud to see them make a living here and thriving They offered us many great options! My favorite was getting to choose which milk options (because I'm lactose lol) so I went with Drink: Winter melon Milk: almond Milk Sweetness: Medium/Fixed Sweetness Toppings: Star Jelly (peach) Basil Seed They can make any of their drinks HOT (mine were) SO YUMMY Not to mention she gave me a 15% disc and upped my size to a large instead!

The milk teas are just hit or miss some days... but I'm biased, 8/10 I'm here for matcha & don't usually branch out. The regular matcha latte is perfect- not too much, not too little.

I truly appreciate their help, they make the experience all the better.

Cha For Tea - Long Beach

This establishment has been around for many years--I would estimate since the early 2000s. It's…read moreconveniently located near the Long Beach VA Hospital and California State University, Long Beach (CSULB). Parking is plentiful, although the lot can fill up during peak hours since it is shared with several nearby retailers and restaurants. The shop itself is well maintained, especially considering how long it has been in business. Everything appeared clean and organized, including the small dining area where customers can sit and enjoy their food or drinks. Service was quick, efficient, and straightforward. The staff seemed pleasant, though my visit was brief, so I didn't have enough interaction to fully evaluate the level of customer service. I ordered the chai milk tea, which I enjoyed. However, from what I remember, they're particularly known for their mango green tea, which is refreshing and worth trying if it's still on the menu. Overall, it's a clean, well-kept spot with a convenient location, quick service, and a comfortable place to relax with a drink.

Is this even tea? I am not sure if blended drinks are considered true milk tea but whatevers. I cannot believe how good this drink is. What the hell!!!!! No wonder the place is called KRAK! This moment has changed me forever. The King Brulee blended (formerly known as queen Brulee) is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing for my taste buds; a curse for my wallet from now on until I take my final breath on this mortal coil Aside from the best tasting boba tea in the world, the girl at the counter was friendly and answered my questions and even offered if I wanted to custom order something. the place was clean. The drink came out fast. I love when the drink is so fresh that you can feel the warm boba on the bottom. The deco and theme of the place was nice. It felt professional but not too sterile and corporate and empty like some other places can seem.

I was reading reviews beforehand and decided to get the King Brulee since it seemed like one of their popular drinks. Just personally for me, it was a little too sweet and I say that as someone who LOVES sweet drinks and sweet coffee. This one was just overwhelmingly sweet to the point where I couldn't really take another sip without feeling like I was getting a sugar rush lol. The drink itself was good though,don't get me wrong! I'd definitely come back and try it again, but next time I'd probably order it less sweet.

Boba was 75 cents extra. The total came to around 6.50. My favorite thing about tea places is when they let you pick the sweetness.

Lastly, the drink came out so fast I couldn't believe it. I sat down for like ten seconds before my drink came out. And it was delicious!! Great boba tea. Great price even with the extra boba charge.

Charred pizza crust, topped with hollandaise, good bacon, and few leafy greens to make you feel better about yourself.

My husband and I had two opposite experiences this morning at Breakfast Bar…read more His eggs were just the way he likes them - soft and fluffy, like the egg whites have been whipped. Pancakes were also very delicious with good flavor and fluffy height. The pancakes had a brown butter topping that he really liked, didn't even need syrup. Sausages didn't seem homemade but were very tasty. I ordered the Eggs Noni, which is a version of Eggs Florentine, plus a side of bacon. The Eggs Noni came on two pretty hard small sourdough discs. I had difficulty cutting through the crust with a knife. There is a lot of cayenne in their hollandaise sauce, not my favorite version. The thick slice of tomato was the highlight. Side of bacon $6 for two measly pieces - overcooked and too crunchy. I could tell the bacon would have been good if it was more on the meaty/chewy side. This came with a potato pancake which was like mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and then fried. Service was okay, I think because it was pretty busy. They may need more staff to help the servers with drink refills and to check in more frequently. Lastly, our table was very wobbly and we had to fix it with sugar packets otherwise our drinks would have toppled.

Absolutely love coming to Gong Cha on PCH! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and made perfectly every time. The boba has the perfect texture, and they have a great variety of milk teas and fruit teas to choose from. The staff is friendly, fast, and always welcoming, even during busy hours. The shop is clean, relaxing, and a great spot to hang out or grab a quick drink.

This is a must try secret recipe from Gongcha Long Beach, matcha smoothie with cream brûlée. Note: asked the staff to put crème brûlée on the bottom and on the cup wall, so it'll create this effect and when you take a sip of the drink, you can taste the cream brûlée on every sip. It's so good. Believe me you will not disappoint. I got recommended by of the staff there and now I'm hooked ever since. read more
