    Gong Cha is a well-established boba institution and I was happy to find there was one located near my area. I came during the holiday season where they had a promotion with their snowman cups. I ordered the pearl milk tea with reduced sweetness. The drink and the boba were both on point with the quality I've come to expect from them. Outside of that, the staff was really nice and friendly and made my drink quickly. The store itself has some indoor seating for you to sit at. It also wasn't a crowded when I went which can be nice if you're looking for quiet spot to enjoy your drink.

    Stopped by Gong Cha for a tea after I ate and Spicy Noodles House. The noodles restaurant receipt is valid for 10% off at Gong Cha the same day. Got the Peach Green Tea with mini pearls, with 30% less sugar. Very flavorful. Love those mini pearls. This Gong Cha location appears to be a family-owned franchisee. Service was really good and the family was friendly. I will return soon to try other flavors.

    Creme Brulee Strawberry Milk Smoothie, Large, 50% Sweet, Pudding

    The staff at the counter was super friendly and got our drinks ready really fast! The shop was clean with plenty of open seating. We got a large Wintermelon Tea with pearls and a large Creme Brulee Strawberry Milk Smoothie with pudding. Both drinks were delicious and filled all the way to the top. The topping-to-drink ratio was just right, though I would've preferred a bit less ice in the Wintermelon Tea (I asked for 25% ice). They also have a nice first-time download app promo,, $10 off a $15 order!

    1. The drink at this location was refreshing, and I feel like it would taste the same like the other locations! 2. The spot has fast casual vibes! 3. There are indoor seatings! 4. The staff were timely with our drinks! 5. Parking lot was decent sized, but it was not crowded at 11 am on a Saturday! Note: There is a restroom for customers! Photo: Peach Oolong Tea with Boba!

    3.5/4 stars. After a shopping trip near the surrounding area, I stopped by here before they closed for a drink because I was so thirsty! Ended up getting some fruit tea. They are heavy on the toppings, so I felt like I barely got any tea, but the taste of the tea was good. I also got an adorable boba keychain that was 50% off which made it around $6. I added it to my endless list of miniature collections. The end. Haha

    I like how you can customize a lot about your drink. The people that work there are super nice and are efficient as well.

    Came here at the best time because they had so many Peanuts and Snoopy merch. I got the Thai tea which was super yummy and I got a free Snoopy straw topper for spending a certain amount. I also got a cute purple boba plushie an even the tops on the drinks had different Peanuts designs. The drinks here are always good and have great quality in the taste. Ordering is easy through the kiosk too.

    Manager's special #2 Brown Sugar Pudding w/ crème Brûlée
    Sandy L.

    Amazing crispy waffle with crème brûlée filling provides a creamy, sweet, and slightly tangy flavor, topped with a vanilla flavored ice cream. This is super delicious! I never seen or tried Gong Cha with dessert especially the manager's special #2 Brown Sugar Pudding with Crème Brûlée only $5.50. We are truly impressed with the food quality and customer service. We also had an enjoyable interaction with the manager as well, who is genuinely kind and sweet.

    Wintermelon milk tea and milk tea

    We were really excited to try this place as I've had it originally in Taiwan a few times in LA. It was always delicious and fresh. So we decided so we to try this location in Santa Ana because it's close by. What a major disappointment. We ordered the wintermelon and oolong tea with boba. The boba tasted days old and soggy with a funky after taste. Even worse, after a few sips, my stomach started dancing so we immediately threw the drinks away. Too bad!

    Yummy Creme Brulee waffle!!
    Monica G.

    Tracy was very friendly and patient explaining all the options to us. I love Gong Cha's variety of both caffeinated and non-caffeinated options, making it more family friendly than some places. Plus they have yummy dessert snacks, like the creme brulee pudding (delicious!!!) and the creme brulee mochi waffle. The creme they use is a bit salty, which keeps everything from being too sweet.

    Love this place so much!…read more I've been to the Cerritos location many times so I figured I'd try the Santa Ana location. There's more seating at this location which is nice! Three tables and a bench. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Latte with Grass Jelly for 7.25, and I finished it in literally 10 minutes. The prices are really good if you don't get toppings too! 50% sweetness was perfect for me, and I like how they have descriptions under each of the teas on the menu. Next time I definitely want to try one of their frappes with purple rice. They also have many season drinks including an Earl Grey Cheesecake Latte! Parking is in a small plaza and it's a 30 minute maximum, so definitely plan to grab and go! Quite close to OCMA and South Coast as well.

Coming from Westminster/Garden Grove, our expectations for boba and tea drinks are admittedly pretty high. The online ordering process was simple, and they have a lot of tea options. I also really liked that the menu descriptions made it easy to get an idea of what each tea might be like. I love floral-flavored teas, so I decided to try the Osmanthus Amber Oolong Tea. I ordered it at 75% sweetness and was actually surprised that it was still a little too sweet for my taste. I'll definitely go with 50% next time. The boba was pretty average--nothing particularly special--but I did appreciate that the tea flavor and aroma were still the dominant flavors of the drink. The location was a little confusing to find. Our GPS kept trying to route us through some apartment/condo complexes, and once we finally found the shopping center, parking was pretty limited on a Saturday. Inside, the shop was super chic, modern, and beautifully minimalist, which I really appreciated. The front staff was friendly and quick to help me find my order. Overall, I don't think this is a place we'd go out of our way to visit, but I'd definitely try some of their other drinks if we're in the area again.

They had one self service iPad and then one register to order from. The logo is extremely cute and the inside is well designed, kind of reminds me of a brighter Omomo.

It has clear jelly-like balls, fresh peach inside, and a great slush texture. It is reminiscent of Sunright frosties (which are my favorite).

Fantastic and refreshing Mango milk: 5/10. Way too sweet but couldn't adjust on this one. Good price though compared to some other drinks. Some of my friends who prefer milk teas only think this place is okay, though. Free parking but pretty limited spots near the boba shop itself. There are two self order kiosks but you can also order at the counter. Chill vibes. Some limited seating inside.

I chose to go with the Mango Dew since it was more of a smoothie and it was a hot day. It had a mango based smoothie with passionfruit, one of my favorite combos. The drink with tax ended up being around $8 and it was ready in about a few minutes. After getting it, I loved the flavor and could not stop drinking it. My only complaint was that even though there was only 3 tables occupied, all the other tables were dirty so we didn't feel comfortable sitting while waiting. I think that says a lot since there were more dirty tables than clean ones. It also made it difficult to tell if someone was sitting at a table or not, or just in the bathroom. I don't believe it was too busy considering there was only one person's order prior to us ordering as well.

There was definitely a fresh mango flavor, but the creamy components overpowered it more than I would have liked. I did enjoy the mochi though! It's different from the standard mochi texture and shape you might normally expect. It's thin, less chewy, and pairs nicely with the drink without feeling too heavy. Located in The District at Tustin, not too far from AMC. There are two self-service kiosks available for ordering.

The matcha here is strong, rich, and earthy and actually tastes like matcha instead of getting lost underneath all the other flavors. But the Matcha Pandan is THE drink for me. I most definitely think Airoma makes the best matcha pandan in town and honestly, I don't think there's a true competitor. It is definitely on the sweeter side with a stronger pandan taste, but you can still distinctly taste both the pandan and matcha. The pandan is creamy and fragrant and pairs SO well with the earthiness of the matcha. The Matcha Einspanner is also SO good. The cream is thick and creamy, but the matcha underneath is strong enough to hold its own. You still get that earthy matcha flavor even with the cream, which I really appreciate. There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly and the drinks come out fast. Definitely one of my favorite matcha spots in OC. But if you're only getting one thing here, GET THE MATCHA PANDAN.
