    Milk Tea with Tapioca
    Mei Mei H.

    This Gong Cha is located inside the foodcourt of the Hmart. There was a kiosk where you can peruse the menu and place your order. I wanted to get the milk tea with the tapioca that came in the gingerbread bottle. My milk tea gingerbread bottle was adorned with a matching hat and scarf combo. Unfortunately my milk tea was too sweet and the tapioca was not as soft and chewy as I expected it to be. The presentation was cute but the actual drink wasn't that tasty unfortunately.

    This gong cha was located in the hmart food court! I ordered the oolong milk tea with boba, and overall thought it was just ok. The tea had a bit of a strange grainy aftertaste, but the boba itself was really sweet and chewy. I also thought the prices were steep (in comparison to other local boba places), as I paid about $6.30 for the most basic drink on the menu. The service was really efficient and the staff were nice!

    We were eating in the food court like area and wanted to try the drinks at Gong Cha. They were very tasty and we enjoyed them very much. We appreciated the opportunity to order them with the desired amount of ice and sugar. One at the table ordered with 50% less sugar, and the other ordered 100% of both. There were quite a few people there, but we were able to find a place to sit without any issue. The whole area, including the restrooms, is handicap accessible.

    Delicious tea! Sweet staff! Great location inside HMart. I ordered the Creme brûlée brown sugar milk tea- no ice, 30% sugar. Next time I'll try no added sugar because the tea is sweet on its own, but with 30% it's the perfect sweetness of a dessert. Highly recommend!

    So delighted to find a gong cha close to me. Coming from Asia , I had high expectations and a strong craving and I wasn't disappointed. I went for the brown sugar boba milk tea with lesser ice and 30% sugar. With tbe brown sugar, that level of sweetness was honestly enough, could probably go 0% in future. Service was fine, not the more excited happy employee but it wasn't terrible. This is located on the inside of the food court and I will be back to try other flavors !

    Everyone's experience is different but every time I come here, it's always been pretty decent. Employees are usually nice and they get the product out in a reasonable amount of time. Wide selection on their menu and they had no problem explaining items.

    Lychee Slush
    Katie F.

    Went to Gong Cha on a whim after the Gardens in Lisle. The concept of the tea is a great idea. However they're lacking in name calling for teas, and it took us about 20 minutes to receive our tea. I got a tea lychee slush and my dad got the chocolate caramel slush. Overall the experience was great! I recommend Gong Cha.

    Place had a variety of options for boba tea. Staff was friendly and prompt. The seating area was quiet with lots of tables to select from. The order was completed very quickly. Had the lychee slushywith star jelly and pudding. It was sweet and had the right annoying of flavor. I'll have to come back and try other options.

    Service was quick and the boba tea was everything I expected. The tea had wonderful deep flavors and did not taste like powdered flavors + sugar. Boba was soft and bouncy which is always good. Glad to have another Boba spot, especially at a food court our family visit frequently!

I love that the amount of sweetened condensed milk was just right where the coffee didn't end up being too sweet. I do want to point out that the drink didn't seem like the strongest coffee around, and the taste closer resembled tea with a little milk added. I should have gone to the Vietnamese coffee the cashier offered! I also tried a piece of their sour cream coffee cake. Warmed wonderfully, and with just the right amount of sweetness, crispness, and just a little tang from the sour cream. This was terrific, and something I would absolutely get again. The vibe is classic with lots of wood, and plenty of comfortable seating. However, if you choose to take advantage of their WiFi, you are asked to buy a drink first, and then every 30 minutes after an hour. I understand where this comes from, and it serves as a deterrent from someone buying one drink and spending a working day in here. However, it also makes Sweetwaters seem like less of a spot to chill and catch up on Yelp reviews (for e.g.,), as I'd have to set a stopwatch to not break the rules. Final verdict: while the Dragon Eye could've had some coffee flavors, the coffee cake helped bring the experience up. While the vibe is classic, don't expect to sit and work without keeping the drinks coming.

And while it may be a little difficult to find it, it proves the maxim that good things are worth looking for (if that's not a maxim, it is now). The owner roasts his own coffee beans, roasts chicken in house, uses orgcanic greens, makes his own salad dressing, and makes soups from scratch daily. Plus, he serves breakfast, with all the accoutrements one would want. I enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee, some scrambled eggs with sausage, and an English muffin. It was all tasty. The star of the show, however, was the sample of lentil soup he gave me. As I was paying for my bill, I said to Ashraf, the owner: "I'll be back next week to buy some beans from you. And if I like your soup, I'll buy that too. Trust me." "I do trust you," Ashraf said. "And I trust my soup. You'll be back" He was right. I tried the soup that afternoon. It's delightful, flavorful, and made with love. I went back two days later, and bought my coffee beans, and a quart of lentil soup. This is my new favorite place.
