Gong Cha Hayward

I've been coming here multiple times and they are consistently good. They have so many drink options so I love coming back to try new drinks. The drinks we got this time were the Brown Sugar Earl Grey (which I've never heard of before) and the regular Pearl Milk tea. These were both perfect sweetness and had the right amount of toppings! Parking can be tricky here since there are so many stores around it. I do like how you can order with the workers or through the self serve kiosks. The staff were friendly too!

DANGEROUS NUTRITIONAL MISINFORMATION! Two times now I have gone to this location and they always describe their milk powder as "plant based" when in fact, it is not plant based at all.Since I have a dairy allergy I always ask boba places what their vegan options are. The employees at gong cha keep saying, "Our milk powder is plant based which means it's vegan". This is dangerous since their milk powder actually has whey powder in it. Whey is dairy. Dairy comes from cows. So yeah, not plant based. I ask them to double check the ingredients and sure enough, they see that there is whey in there.If someone were to just take their word that their powder is plant based, they could get very sick or have a bad allergic reaction. Please, managers at this location, do something about this. Who knows how many people have been wrongly served a drink with dairy in it.

Considering how much I've been a regular here, it's clear - I love it. Whenever I'm craving a boba drink, Gong Cha is usually one of the first places I think of. This location is super convenient for me and since it's part of the larger target plaza, there's always tons of parking. The shop itself isn't huge. There's two tables inside with a couple of chairs along the wall as well. But folks (including me) mostly take their drinks to go. They always have a rotating menu of seasonal specials, so if you're looking to try something new, they've usually got something different for you to try. But they also have all the classics. My go-to is always the pearl milk tea. In the summer, I'll get it iced/cold. In the winter, I'll get it hot. Great both ways. It does come out sweeter though, so if you're like me and aren't a fan of super sweet drinks, definitely adjust that sweetness level to 50% or less. They also have fun merch (key chains, different kinds of cups, souvenir mugs, etc). Keep an eye out on their instagram or just stop by to see what they've got.Since opening, they've adopted a kiosk system to make ordering more independent. You can still order at the register and ask the staff if you have any questions. But if you're just grabbing & going, you can easily order your drinks and be on your way without having much interaction with the staff.They don't have a ton of food on their menu, but be sure to try one of their mochi waffles for an additional sweet treat!

Strawberry Milk Teas & Brown Sugar Milk Teas -Great promotion BOGO. Quick friendly service & we even scored a couple cute GongCha Keychains too!!

The drink definitely lived up to its expectations!The service was excellent and made it super easy to order my drink. This store definitely gives off a cozy atmosphere and is definitely a place you can hangout or study at. I will definitely be making this store a regular stop!

Went to Gong cha to get my sister in law her Snoopy cup and got myself a classic milk tea with creama.the drink was smooth and sweet. I might get less sugar next time because it's more on the sweeter side. Milk Foam Black Tea

Wanted to catch the BOGO promotion posted on this Yelp Gung Cha info. Which is written from 1:30-3:00pm M-Thurs. unfortunately, despite me showing them the posted special, the manager just kept saying "Sorry we ended this promotion" several times.Very disappointed that this woman owned business doesn't stay accountable for the things they post.

Finally!! A Gong Cha so close that I could get to it anytime of the day or week that I crave boba! We love gong cha - especially the mango milk tea, which is our absolute favorite. Love how you can taste the bits of mango in every sip. Like all the other gong Cha's, they serve up good quality and authentic tea. The staff is efficient and nice. Sometimes they don't answer the phone but they are really good about texting you and answering any questions you have. They now have an app that we have been enjoying so that we can preorder and it's there when we arrive. Really convenient and they are running promos on it now. Sign up for their emails to keep up to date on their other promos. Love how it's near target, a Filipino grocery store, AND charging station so I can shop, drink and charge all in one trip!Of special note is that they currently have a promo bogo happy hour mon-th 1:30-3pm! Looks like I'll be coming a bit more!

Small place with a few tables to sit down. Maybe only enough it fit 10-12 ppl in total. I usually order something off the menu but I was feeling some ice cream and pudding due to craving something sweet.3/5 - black tea with egg pudding and ice cream - Black tea was quite strong so I liked that however there was little to no ice cream in the drink despite I paid extra for. The egg pudding was decent tho.

You can't go wrong with a Wintermelon Drink from Gong Cha! Fresh milk, half sweet, and less ice is my perfect order. A medium size for less than $5? Pretty good! This is also a decaffeinated drink, which is great for kids and late-night boba runs (they close at 9 PM). This was my go-to boba chain while in college, so I'm happy to see this location open up. Their prices are fair and the baristas work quickly. My order was prepared in just a minute!
