Gong Cha

Hot, thirsty, and wandering the Domain? Gong-cha's got your back. I usually go for my trusty milk tea with boba, but this time I switched it up with a mango milk slushy--no regrets. It was icy, creamy, and basically a hug for my taste buds on a scorching day. Also, can we talk about the sticky notes on their drink menu? Whoever's in charge of those deserves a raise. They had me laughing while I waited for my slushy. I would definitely recommend. See pics of the place and the menu (and the hilarious sticky notes).

I love the menu here. One of the best things is the ability to make your drink more or less sweet to taste.

Great location at the domain. It's super easy to order on the touch screen and plenty of seating to wait for your order at. I love getting the early grey milk tea with three toppings ( boba, custard and herbal jelly). The ambience is great especially when you want to escape the heat!

Gong Cha is an interesting chain because they can be super inconsistent across locations. When they're doing well, they're at the top of the food chain as far as chains are concerned but they can also miss really hard. The drinks here were pretty good but boba would fall closer to the bottom of my scale. Service and boba as a topping missed here.This location in particular felt unfriendly. Went in to pick up an order and had no acknowledgement whatsoever. Had to announce that I was here to pick up and got the fastest "not ready" response while walking away because it was too much hassle to pause for a second and make eye contact. Very snobby and dismissive, behavior that makes for a terrible impression. Pearl Milk Tea - a classic of all time, the milk tea is a solid creaminess with a hint of tea. Gong Cha does particularly well on the creamier taste, this location isn't much different. Boba however, was clumpy and firm. Tasted fairly old at noon and lacked flavor.Lemon Wintermelon Basil - nostalgic Hong Kong lemon tea flavor with a kick of wintermelon sweetness. This could be a new favorite especially with the heat. Refreshing, cool, and slightly sour tartness are all enhancements to the sweetness. At 30% I believe it's still fairly sweet by nature and going down to 0% is a viable option. If you're adventurous and want a new drink, I highly recommend this. If wintermelon milk tea is one of your go-tos but it's a hot day and you want something more refreshing, this is your calling.

Quick service, kind staff. The space can accommodate a lot of people, but there isn't as much space to sit. Didn't get any food, but the boba was good.

Very nice Gong Cha location, service was speedy and they installed a new ordering kiosk to cut down ordering times! Got the lemon aiyu with star jelly and the earl grey with 3 Js, and I always order with 0% sweetness since their drinks are normally very sweet already, especially with added toppings.

The logistics of this place can be improvised dramatically. I prefer to order at the counter but when I came in today it was confusing to place an order. Is it at the cash register? Is it at the self service machine? Every time you come in, even if it's 5 minutes, it'll be different. And will anyone help you when you're visibly confused? Fat chance! Today I went it and there was a big group on the computer. I tried hanging around the register but no one came. So I left to make another stop and ordered online instead. When I went back, customers were back to ordering at the counter. Ordering ahead was a waste of time because I still had to wait in line to pick it up. The quality of the tea is good, not great. Milk tea is my husband's favorite so that's why I come here while I'm at the domain but it's become such a headache that I'm starting to dread it and would rather go to a nearby place instead.

Id like to be fair while being honest. Ive definitely had better Bobba-Tea before but that doesn't mean this was not good. Just that I've had better tasting, in a larger cup, for the same price, at other places. All the young ladies and young men working at this location are friendly. Will i be back? Yes because there are not any other places nearby and would likely keep trying new drinks to find my favorite. Space is very limited soo don't expect to sit there.

I ordered 0% sweetness but still found the drink very sweet (yes, I've been to many different Gong Cha locations and order the same drink), so I told the staff with blonde hair and large headphones. I asked if they could make me another one that was less sweet and she said the toppings have syrup so she can't do anything about it. Three stars because I like the drinks overall, but service can be better. A drink is $7 and they don't want to make another one if they accidentally mess up your drink.

Good selection of tea, I usually order mango coconut. They have other limited options as well
