I havent been to this place since it was Cha Boba, I asked the kind man at the counter what he recommended for a fruit tea, he said lychee, now lychee is one of my favorite flavors, not everyone can get the taste right so I had some hesitation but he called me up to get my drink and asked me to try it, I thought that was so thoughtful, the drink was light and refreshing. What a great way to start off my day of laziness. Thank you Gotcha Boba

They first established their presence on Seawall in 2019 as an easy to miss shop, smudged between a nail salon and generic beachwear store, before relocating to the east end last month. The new location simply makes sense and I certainly have nothing to complain about; now that they are situated next to UTMB, their target audience can conveniently drop by after a grocery run at Arlan's or a workout at the field house. Their upgraded location may have come with an improvement in drink quality as well. This is my first time visiting, but I had previously heard reports from fellow classmates about their drinks being either "mid" or "just okay". However, my classic milk tea tasted on par with something I'd typically expect in Chinatown. I'd even rank it above certain chain shops in Houston. Granted, classic milk tea is a difficult drink to screw up but nothing about my experience gave me a reason to side with the unimpressed customers today. When choosing a sweetness level, the cashier informed me that their drinks tend to lean toward the sweeter side by default. I can attest to that statement since 50% sweetness still left me more than satisfied. It's not the most mind blowing boba I've ever had, but it is the most viable option on the island. No other shop has dedicated their entire menu to boba teas. Additionally, the polite staff and cutely decorated interior welcome you to stay for a while. I'd take them up on that offer if I were you; once you leave, you're back to Galveston's lackluster sprawl of cement.

My first tea was a green tea base with Peach and Mango mix and boba added. It was on the sweeter side and very refreshing. My next tea was the classic milk tea with boba. It was creamy and savory.

Some of the tables have booth seating, and the booths are really comfortable. It can get a little busy later in the day when a lot of folks are stopping by, but nothing that a pair of headphones can't fix. My 1 star off is for the electric outlets - quite a few of them don't work, which can be frustrating if you're there for a few hours for studying As for the food and drink... it's Gong Cha, an international chain, so it will be as you expect from any other location. I find that Gong Cha has some of the most "tea" tasting tea ever. The hibiscus tea, for example, tastes exactly like freshly brewed tea, without any artificial flavored syrups. And recently, I've gotten very obsessed with their croffles, which are the perfect blend of crispy and gooey sweetness

Today I went and the cup sizes look like they've gotten smaller, which, okay I understand if you want to save a little more money. We ordered two drinks (a taro milk tea with tapioca and a taro milkshake) and a bubble waffle. WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THERE. WHY DID IT TAKE 32 MINUTES FOR OUR ORDER. We wanted to be in and out, and we usually are until today. I asked about the waffle and the lady said it's almost ready, takes 4 minutes to cook. Okayyyyy then why have we been waiting 30+? They said they started the order late because the PoS wouldn't print receipts, but good customer service means starting the order, not making your customers wait. One guy looked like he was confused and the lady kept running to hide in the back.
