    Pumpkin Pie Milk Tea with Pearls
    Carina H.

    The Strawberry Cheesecake Milk Tea was good, and I think it would have been even better if I had ordered it with boba. I think there was pudding inside this drink, which was creamy and reminded me of cheesecake. The drink was sweet yet savory at the same time. I just wish there was more strawberry pulp to balance out the cheesecake flavor with the strawberry flavor. On a Thursday evening, there was just one other group at the shop. I got my order shortly after I placed my order.

    Thai Tea Latte

    I got the Thai latte with boba. TERRIBLE DECISION. It is the most mid boba I've ever had in my life. I am so upset that I'm writing this review with drink in hand. I work minimum wage plus am a college student, this is a rare treat, HOW COULD YOU FUMBLE SO BAD?! Just tastes like milk with a bit of flavoring, did not look pretty like the picture, and the boba is FLAVORLESS!!!!! CANNED BOBA TEA TASTES BETTER!!!! I lowkey wanted to go in and ask for a refund but I'm too exhausted to, so in the reviews you go.

    Dirty brown sugar milk tea with pearls
    Farrah B.

    Every time I go to this location they screw up my order. I try my best to give them the benefit of the doubt since the employees are kind of young, but at this 0.5 visits and my order is still isn't right? I don't think so. I'm ordered a regular drink off the menu with 30% sugar, and pearls. Im thinking, what's so difficult about that? Sometimes, its the wrong drink, another time they forgot the tea. But yesterday's order was the most. As usual i ordered my drink 30% sugar and it was most definitely full sugar. The pearls themselves had no taste whatsoever. It seems like whoever made them forgot to add the Brown sugar while it was cooking, and just threw a bunch of syrup in the cup. I tried it after i got halfway home. I was livid. Don't do that to customers, think about the way you would like your drink to taste. I give up.

    Clean establishment and fast service. We ordered a large Lychee Oolong with 50% sweetness with pearls. It was $5.75 but with tax it came out to $6.26. I love the customization and their pearls had a nice "qq" chew. Gong Cha is in great location when you need a pick-me up.

    Earl Grey Tea with 3 Js
    Mark Nowell M.

    Bubble bubble! Bubble tea! Quick on the go bubble tea! Location: it is located in Rego Park, they have their own store in the middle. It will satisfy your bubble tea craving! Service: I just ordered and go, no interaction. Food: I almost taste all the flavors but my favorites are: TARO: as always this is good! Taro with bubbles is great! THAI ICED TEA: this one is good too! Thai experience! EARL GREY with 3 J's: this is one of my fave because it has 3 jellies on it! DIRTY BROWN SUGAR: one of the newest flavors! It is good because not your usual sugar! STRAWBERRY TARO: good too, make sure only 30% sugar because it might be sweet. Price rating: 4 out of 10. It is so cheap! Well all recommended! But personally love the taro and earl grey with 3Js.

    Passion fruit with boba/ Brown Sugar with pearls
    Mei C.

    Came here on a thirsty afternoon, stall is located inside the Rego Center mall, with seats outside the shop. Ordered a Brown Sugar Milk tea with white pearls, and it tasted really good. This is my first with white pearls rather than the usual Boba, and I don't think I'm going back to Boba anymore. My friend got the passion fruit tea and she liked it too. *Yelp check-in gets you a free topping of your choice. Overall, good place for an afternoon Boba drink

    black milk tea with milk foam, no boba - medium
    Sebastian C.

    This Gong Cha location is conveniently located on the ground level of the Rego Center. The workers do a great job of making the drinks. Unfortunately this location runs out of items on the menu very often--the first time I came here, they were out of boba (along with about a dozen other things including taro and thai tea)! I've had better luck since then, but only because I'll go in the morning soon after they open. In the afternoon and evenings, I just go to the location in Queens Center mall instead.

    Well done. I really enjoyed my drink. Taro is my go to flavor and it was really good here. I asked for pearls and coconut jelly. I will definitely try other flavors. Mera's Tip: choose a topping

    Milk tea

    Since I live across the street from this, it's super easy and convenient for me to get bubble tea from here. The shop itself is very small. There are only a few seats since this place is more of a order to go place. The staff works very quickly to get your drinks made. Customers used to be able to earn points by giving their number to the cashier. They are currently working on a new system so they have reverted back to the card and stamps. The cards are laminated so the stamps rub off pretty easily. I have had to tape over it to make sure that it doesn't come off. I always get a regular milk tea with tapioca and every time I have ordered it, it taste the same. No complaints about their tea. This is always a great place to go to get bubble tea since it's in a convenient location. I think it's one of the only bubble tea spots in this neighborhood since there aren't too many Asian cafes around.

    Taro milk tea with boba 30% sweet
    Sriya B.

    This is a tiny gongcha in the middle of rego park shopping center. They are very compliant and aware of covid rules. In addition they are super quick and efficient. They always make sure to ask again what sweetness level you want since many people are unaware that it's something that can be requested. For reference 30% sweetness is actually pretty sweet. 50 is perfect for sweet lovers. Anything above May honestly be to sweet but to each their own :)

    Small kiosk in the middle of the Rego Center Mall. Gong Cha is a worldwide chain that I have had before and it is a solid bubble tea place. The drinks here are well made with good flavor. The only downside is that their cups are a little smaller than other places at similar sizes - we're talking a couple ounces but it's noticeable. Also, they are not too cheap with most drinks in the $5 to $6 range. I recommend the brown sugar flavor.

A court injunction barred the US operators from using the brand's trademarks, forcing a viral rebrand to "? Tea" in New York. Headquarters' Allegations: According to court documents, the corporate office revoked the operators' trademark rights after claiming: - Unauthorized Expansions: The US operator opened a Los Angeles location without prior corporate approval. - Unapproved Ingredients: The franchise was sourcing ingredients independently, violating strict corporate quality and recipe standards. - Hiding Profits: Headquarters accused the operators of voiding their contract by allegedly hiding store revenues and bypassing royalty payments. The Franchisee's Perspective: The US operators disputed the claims. Before the courts stepped in, franchisees alleged that corporate HQ had attempted to aggressively renegotiate the ownership equity, attempting to slash the operator's share from 80% to 30% after the US locations proved highly lucrative. Current Status & Rebranding: Due to the legal injunction, the affected stores were forced to scrub the name "Molly Tea" from their storefronts, uniforms, and delivery apps. The operator complied by covering up the logos and using hand-drawn question marks on cups, quickly earning the nickname "? Tea" among fans.

Ordering is digital. You place your order and pay at a self serve kiosk. The serving team behind the counter was working diligently to prepare all the drinks. I ordered the Coconut Mango Boom with sago. It was creamy, refreshing, and packed with sweet mango flavor. The tiny sago pearls add a nice chewy texture to the drink. The menu also offers a wide variety of drinks, including matcha, fruit teas such as grapefruit, guava, and even kale, as well as traditional Chinese teas like jasmine and longjing (aka dragon well).

We walked into a cozy space with a comfortable feel that makes it easy to settle in for a bit, and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between modern and relaxed. The drinks themselves are the main draw and largely deliver. We ordered the Coconut Mango Boom, the standout on the menu, and it came loaded with a generous chunk of actual mango that made the whole thing feel more substantial than your average fruit tea. The Triple Matcha is another strong option for anyone looking for a matcha drink. Toppings were consistently chewy and the flavor balance across most of the lineup leans on the lighter, less sweet side, which works well for us. Where things get complicated is the wait. This location runs long on order times fairly regularly, and during busier stretches or when delivery orders are stacking up, a single drink can take thirty to forty minutes. The staff are generally efficient and straightforward, which suits the format, but the kitchen and barista workflow seems to struggle with volume in a way that other HeyTea locations do not. If you are already a HeyTea regular, the Long Island City location is a convenient option for the area, and the menu quality holds up to what the brand does elsewhere. Just plan accordingly on timing and you will leave happy. We would come back for the Coconut Mango Boom, but we would order ahead and build in a buffer before we need to be anywhere else.
