Gong Cha - Coquitlam

I like the #1 brown sugar milk tea with coffee jelly. You can pick your sugar and ice level of 0 to 30%, 50%, 70%, or 100%. I also like the matcha milk tea. There are so many different flavours of tea, smoothies, and milk tea from fruity to milk. It took a few different tries till I found the ones that I liked.

It was okay. Ordered the green tea one and it was way too icy and bland. Don't know if I would go again considering there are so many other bubble tea locations that are done perfectly each time.

Gong Cha is by far my #1 BBT spots! I live a two minute walk from this place and try not to go too often because that daily BBT will ADD up. My go to drink is the royal milk tea (half sweet), and if you go on Fridays, they have a special price of $3.99 tax. If you go on a regular day, the price can be pretty hefty. My only suggestion with their drinks is that they're very sweet automatically, i'd suggest getting 30% or 50% sugar. What's nice is that you can adjust the sugar and ice level based on your preference. Pearls cost extra as well, but they won't break the bank! Reason why I'm not giving 5, the service is just okay. They're not usually smiling, they don't ever converse in conversation or even have a friendly tone. I'll continue to visit because like I said, hot damn it's the best BBT around, and I've tried A LOT of BBT in my time!

I am not exaggerating this is the only place I want to get bbt from in the lower mainland. I live in Richmond and I happily drive to the coquitlam gong cha because out of all the places I've tried so far, this is the only one with non dairy milk. Today I asked for non dairy milk and the manager literally ran across the street to buy more for me because they were out. How often do you see that kind of customer service? The place is very clean, service was fast, and of course the food and drink is perfect. Thank you Gong Cha Coquitlam!

I personally really like GongCha bubble tea, but that's coming from someone who is obsessed with black tea milk tea. I don't typically venture into the fruity drinks. My only reason for the loss of star is because it's a little pricier than most bubble tea places. It's good, but not thaaaat good for the price point. They also have a really interesting foam that you can add. It's supposed to be both salty and sweet. Almost tastes cheesy. Adds an interesting note!
