Gong Cha

What do you know about that boba life? Well at this place my favourite thing to get that no other bubble tea place makes is milk foam. This place you can order any flavour you want that has milk tea in it and they foam it up and it makes the drink so much more creamier. That being said when you drink the milk tea because it’s sweet the foam is a little salty so it balances the flavours out. It’s soooo good. I think i need one right now. Cravings! Very busy and very quick with making your orders

So good! My favorite boba in Australia. The tea is super fresh and you get to customize your ice and sweetness.
Note: the foam green tea isn’t foamy from shaking it up, they actually scoop foam on top. The lady said it was sort of like a whipped cream mix?
Cash only!!!

Their royal milk tea tastes exactly like teh tarik (Malaysians would know). Service is a little on the slower side. Doesn’t accept card unfortunately

I have found my new holy grail bubble tea here at Gongers: Taro Milk Tea with Coconut Milk.
Today I had it warm with half-​sugar.
Tomorrow I may have it with ice and pearls.
The variations are endless!*
*Not true. Just a figure of speech. Gong Cha let’s you choose the amount of ice, level of sugar, hot/​cold, and the size of cup. As well as offering a wide range of flavours and exciting add-​ons like pearls, puddings or milk foam.

It’s Gong Cha! Which in Australia, is apparently is the equivalent of Starbucks in New York. It’s everywhere!
But it’s good tea, can’t deny that. That milk foam is the key to the whole thing, and it’s actually preeeetty unhealthy, but don’t think about that.
While I can recommend Gong Cha, I really can’t recommend the Hot Star chicken snack paired up with it. Overpriced for an admittedly large piece of chicken, but it also includes a bone so you’re not getting all that meat. The other snacks are so-​so. The batter used on the deep-​fried mushrooms or sweet potatoes are just overly salty, or other problems.

Always good milk tea here :-)
It’s always busy and you have to line up and get a number for your order but it doesn’t take the team long to make it. I’ve been buying my milk tea for a long time here and it’s always

I’ve never really got in to the whole bubble tea craze. That was until I found myself in Singapore, dying for caffeine and something cool and my colleague took me to Gong Cha. From that moment I was hooked and this is where I go when I’m back home in Melbourne and hanging out for some milk tea.
I try to avoid sugar so it pleases me that you can request a sugar level, including none! My favourite is the earl grey milk tea and instead of adding pearls (do you know what’s in those things!?) I go with basil seeds for a healthy alternative.
The line here is a bit intimidating, but it moves quickly and you won’t wait more than five minutes.

Best tea I’ve had in Melbourne.
Although the pearls are a bit smaller than normal, they’re still nice and chewy :) I had the #1 with pearls added (because i wanted to try the milk foam, which is amazing, by the way) and I was seriously so surprised by how good it was. It’s sort of like a salted, soft milk, since it’s foam, but the texture is so unique in a good way that I literally just wanted a cup of milk foam to drink. Haha.
Overall definitely recommend! The line is a but rough for a first timer, but it goes by pretty quickly and the drinks are worth it :)

Pretty darn good boba place in Melbourne. Who knew they had good boba in Australia. Definitely check it out if you are craving good boba. :)

Bubble Tea with authentic Tea taste. Gong Cha have an easy to read menu and when ordering you simply quote a number corresponding to the Tea you would like.
There is always a huge gathering outside Gong Cha but it really doesn’t take too long for your Bubble Tea to arrive as they use a numbering system. I always go to Gong Cha when I am up that end of Swanston street. P. S. My favourite is number 6, dare you to check it out!
