GONG CHA – Chinese
Tea first, everything else after. Gong Cha began in Taiwan in 2006 and now runs more than two thousand shops worldwide on a single idea: brew the tea fresh, then let the customer set sweetness, ice and toppings. Pearl milk tea and brown sugar milk tea are the anchors; the milk foam series is the house signature, a lightly salted cap floating over freshly brewed tea. Seasonal slushes and creme brulee toppings rotate through. It is a counter, not a dining room, and the queue moves. Order it your way, or don't bother.
