Gong Cha
This bubble tea chain features a whole kingdom's worth of crafty tea drinks.
Overview
With a swag of Aussie outposts under its belt and over 1500 stores worldwide, Gong Cha is something of a bubble tea veteran. This one's named after an ancient Chinese phrase describing the act of offering tea to the Emperor — fitting, given its menu features a whole kingdom's worth of crafty tea drinks.
Fruit fiends will find themselves tempted by fusions like the mango and fresh milk tea loaded with mango-flavoured pearls, or the passionfruit green tea sporting a thick crown of jellies and boba. Meanwhile, milk-based offerings might feature the likes of a unicorn-hued strawberry taro tea, a layered oat milk tea dense with toppings, or a sticky brown sugar milk blend starring a healthy serve of brown sugar tapioca pearls.
Gong Cha also has nearby outposts in Sunshine and at Highpoint, as well as in the CBD, Richmond and all over the southeast suburbs.
