Gong Cha in Manchester

We are fans of milk bubble tea options and really enjoyed the drinks we were served there. A guy who works there provided us with outstanding detailed explanation of different flavours and offered a tiny sample to help choose our teas. Excellent and polite staff. We ordered pearl milk tea and milk tea with 3J (three jellies) with no ice and little sugar (30%). Gong Cha allows customers to regulate their teas' sweetness levels and ice which we find very convenient.

Consider we live over 40 miles away, we travel to Manchester just for this, my daughters live your brown suger with bubbles, mine is your dirtea. Its so creamy with what taste like crunchy biscuits bits. Now with this pandemic staff all wore masks, and place looks clean. They is a plus for me now they just opened a new store in Liverpool, no need to travel to Manchester just to get my bubble tea.

The place is very stylish, with big mirrors. The service was great and the people were so friendly. The Matcha tea was wonderful and I would recommend.

I’ve been to just Chatime but heard that this new Taiwan chain opened so I had to check it out. It’s not very big inside but there still is a fair amount of seats, and the decor is nice. I had the matcha milk bubble tea, hot with zero sugar and it tasted heavenly, the best matcha bubble tea I’d ever had. Although it was zerp sugar, it still tasted very sweet. The menu has a lot less than Chatime but they still do the essentials like matcha, taro etc. My boyfriend had the caramel milk tea with coconut drop toppings and loved it. It was very sweet with a strong but nice caramel taste. The custom options like Hot or cold, sugar and ice percentages are great, the staff were friendly and our drinks came quickly. Prices are reasonable for Bubble tea, about £3.40 to 4.50 depending on size and toppings. Overall a nice bubble tea place right beside the Arndale making it’s location super convenient, decent variety of flavours but a little less than other stores, friendly staff and nice interior and seating area. I don’t think they have a loyalty app but have a card.

Service was good and had a free regular drink with my main one.The drink I ordered was recommended by the lovely girl who served me. The drink is delicious.

Modern place and ample space for the front ordering/waiting area... impressive menu as lots of choices to choose from. Pricey compared to other brand name... Unfortunately, not really suitable to my liking, as a bubble milktea geek, I will stick back to another brand... BTW, Gong Cha brandname is not from Taiwan, it's from China.

With an awesome mix of original and new flavours with a great selection of toppings you can really try and invent a new flavour for yourself or try one of the recommended. Great place worth the wait.

Nice Taiwanese bubble tea shop with a menu so big which make you can’t decide what to go for. The drink is really good but need to queue for a long time.
