The friendly employees give great recommendations, and this is one of my favorite spots to do homework! It's usually much less crowded than all the nearby coffee shops, so I love being here on weekdays.

Gong Cha was better than this. I got the taro milk tea, and it tasted like powder, which made the bubbles taste funny. When you bite into them, the texture is not pleasant. I would not come back for taro milk tea.

I visited this outlet recently and had a negative experience. The employees were not able to prepare the orders quickly and I ended up waiting 15 mins for the drink. What I disliked even more was that they were running low on boba pearls and they gave less than half the amount of pearls that are generally given. I generally like gong cha but I'm not looking forward to visiting this outlet anytime soon.

I love gongcha, this service here is so speedy and good! I loved it so much while I was visiting, I’m pretty sure I had it each day I was there! I’d def recommend grabbing one and taking a walk down the strip and enjoy that boba

Great drinks, oreo slushy was a bit watered down but otherwise really good. Sad that there wasn't anymore gingerbread men left but I guess it's not their fault there's a limited stock. Would recommend.Wheelchair accessibility: Stairs to enter store, not suitable for wheelchair users and people with strollers.

Stopped in here with a friend for some boba after getting dinner in Newbury street. I appreciate that they were open quite late (til 9pm) whereas other boba shops nearby were already closed. I got a grapefruit green tea with grass jelly, and my friend got a hot black tea with white pearls. We both are big boba people and we thought the drinks here were excellent!!

Gong cha has a lot of great tea options. I got the strawberry green tea with star jellies and it was delicious. I just wish the gingerbread bottles were in stock, I would have loved to buy one!

The gingerbread bottle is super cute. Came by mostly for the bottle. You can get the gingerbread milk tea in the bottle or a different drink with the bottle on the side. The wait for the milk tea can take a while though.

I have never tried the food here but have heard good things - especially the waffle and soft serve. Got a standard black milk tea with boba which was good but nothing exquisite. There are indoor and outdoor tables making this a nice snack break while shopping on Newbury

Speedy and easy service but when I got a strawberry milk tea today it was somewhat strange. Instead of other strawberry milk teas where the whole product is strawberry flavored it looked like there was just bits of some artificial(?) strawberry added to a different type of bubble tea at the bottom. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. When I got brown sugar tea before it was nice, though.

Very friendly and helpful service. The flavors are great and the boba has the texture that you want and expect. The prices are not as high as some other bubble tea places nearby. Also, the straws are biodegradable which is safe for the environment. By far my favorite Bubble Tea place in Boston.

Jasmine black tea with boba was a new offering. I like the soft serve but the boba wasn't as great. It was chewy but was not sweet and stole from the star of the show so would not recommend getting the boba

Slow, no AC in the shop and took more than 20 minutes for a one-drink order.

Gong Cha is located right on Newbury Street, down a flight of stairs. There's a few tables outdoors, as well a decent amount of seating indoors. I really appreciated the nice A/C on a hot, sunny day. They have a few different tea and coffee options, as well as a variety of toppings. They also have bubble waffles and ice cream, and you can even get the ice cream in the waffle (if you pay extra $$, of course).I got the Dolce Milk Tea w pearls at 50% sugar and low ice, and really liked it. The condensed milk added a little extra sweetness and I really liked that they actually did go light on the ice.Overall, 4.5/5, great bubble tea and great service!
