I went to Gong cha because I wanted to try some of the Bubble Tea that’s very popular.
I saw the shop when I was in the City Center to get my hair cut, so I returned to try the place out.
After stepping into the store front I went over to the touch screen panel to see what they had to offer, I had a look at all the types of tea but I didn’t fancy a lot of them (mainly because they didn’t have pictures) so I went with a Iced Caramel Coffee.
The panel also showed me that you could alter the ice and sugar contents from 0% to 100% for the same price, so I decided that I wanted “30% ice and 30% sugar Iced Caramel Coffee”.
I went up to the counter and sent my order (you could do it from the panel but I was too anxious to try it (and look like an idiot if I failed) ) I got a loyalty card without asking (+rep to the cashier for that), took a seat and waited.
The store front was apart of the Shopping Center so was very nice, clean, and small. There was two full tables and some empty ones; the Bubble Tea started in east Asia, Japan or Korea and was carried by its’ popularity here. I have to point out that I was the only guy in the shop except for one guy who was “dragged” in by his girlfriend to try the Bubble Tea out.
I got my Coffee and tried it out (picture from before I finished it).
The sweetness was just enough, I had thought to make it lower because it’s coffee but I decided not to, and ended up with a very smooth, cold, and drinkable coffee, without the Bubbles, which was a shame but it tasted too good to get caught up on.
Needless to say I took a long walk back to the bus station sipping on my coffee not feeling as depressed.
Overall review best £5 spent on coffee, +loyalty card, +can change ice and sugar to taste 10/10 By Me
