Gong Cha – Aurora

So excited to have this tea place so close to where I live. I frequent this plaza A LOT, so this is a great addition. The menu has a wide selection and ordering through the kiosk offers near limitless alterations and combinations. The prices are good and in line with I'm used to paying for these kinds of drinks (maybe slightly cheaper even) however the quality is top tier. My husband has ordered the ice coffee milk tea the last two times we went and I got the lemon yogurt drink and then the iced ear grey with milk foam. Simply delicious. Service is quick and both times we've been, it wasn't busy and our orders quickly appeared. I'm not sure what it's like during busier times. The inside is bright but the space is relatively small, though it makes good use of it with seating. I hope this location does well! I will be back again.

I grabbed a few drinks in the middle of the day at Gong Cha. Due to it being middle of the day it was pretty empty and service was very quick as I was the only person there. The inside is very cute and would be a great place to hangout with friends for a sweet treat. Very clean with claw machines along the wall. I got the Oolong Milk Tea, the Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Foam and boba, and the Mango Milk Tea Slush with passionfruit jelly. I ordered every drink at 50% sugar which was pretty good for us. I personally think I might even order less sugar the next time and I appreciate that we can order the drinks with less sugar because they can be pretty sweet. The boba in my drink was okay, I feel like they were fairly small and average amount of chewiness. I usually prefer my boba more chewy and larger but overall a decent job. The flavors of the other drinks were also good and the mango slushy was a bit sweet for me but my husband loved it. Overall an average good boba for the parker/centennial/englewood area and I love that it is so close to the shopping so I can grab a little treat before walking around at Target and Homegoods etc

Gong Cha 贡茶 translates to Tribute Tea. During the 75th Hunger Games, gong cha sponsored District 12 and used boba to keep Peeta and Katniss hydrated throughout the games. Founded 2006 in Kaohsiung Taiwan and later sold to Gong Cha Korea in 2017. Now with over 2000 locations boba can't stop, it won't stop (woah).

So this place is tucked away next to Sierra so you might miss it if you expect it to be near the other restaurants. There's plenty of parking. I came at 1:30 after working out and it was pretty empty. The location is really clean and bright with plenty of seating if you ever want to stop by and hang out with friends.I came in for the gingerbread bottle because it was so cute with a scarf. There are many different facial expressions so you never know which one you'll get. The gingerbread drink was pretty good. It did taste like gingerbread. However, the boba was very chewy and after having homemade boba, I wasn't a huge fan. If you read this before the end of the holidays, get the drink without the boba.

Finally made to this location. Being new, it's super clean, spacious and well appointed with lots of comfy chairs and minimalistic clean decorations. Subway tiles definitely make this place stand out. The menu board is well positioned and also another one on the counter with different options.There are many options to choose from. I ended up with large matcha smoothy with medium sweetness. The flavor was not strong and sweetness just right. It's definitely a big thirst quencher.My order came out pretty quickly.I will definitely come back and try their other flavors with popping pearls.

6/10/24- 3 stars as average score. The drinks were ok, but did not stand out. Also they had a promotion going on, but you could only access it by scanning a QR code on your cup. Not all phones can read QR codes and a website address should always be displayed with them, accessibility 101.

Tried Gong Cha in NYC while I was on a business trip and so happy they opened close to my house. This establishment is bigger though and spotless. It is modern and bright. Staffs are friendly and not to mention drinks are up to par. A must visit!

Everything was really good! Strawberry milk tea was amazing with the mango pearls! The atmosphere was really nice and professional and the service was quick!

I really enjoyed my Large Dirty Brown Sugar Milk Tea & Milk Foam Iced. Might be the best flavored boba I've had and we've tried a good variety of locations. I love the addition of the sea salt on top with the sweet boba flavoring.

Their Taro milk tea is gross. Just tried it tonight and it tasted bitter. I order this from Snowl every time I get the Boba craving and always satisfying and way cheaper. Snowl's large size milk tea is under $7. Gong Cha's medium with tax is $7.02 after I added the pearl boba! Thought I'd give it a try tonight but disappointed and will not go back nor recommend!!!
