Gong Cha

Gong Cha’s Chinatown shop on Harrison Avenue serves milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies and coffee. Black milk tea with tapioca pearls is a straightforward place to start, while QQ passionfruit green tea adds pearls and coconut jelly to a fruitier drink. The local menu also lists lychee oolong, mango green tea and brown-sugar milk tea.

For something thicker, there are taro, peach and lychee smoothies, along with drinks topped with milk foam. Matcha and Thai tea lattes offer another direction, and plain brewed oolong is available too. Online pickup and delivery ordering let you browse the shop’s current specials before choosing.
