About Gong cha( Bubble tea ) - Albany, NY

Gong cha( Bubble tea ) - Albany, NY is a bubble tea in Albany, New York. It is listed at 1232 Western Ave, Albany, NY 12203, which places it among the local businesses of Albany that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 11 am–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (518) 218-4335. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, facebook.com.

Gong Cha on Western Ave in Albany is fantastic! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the drinks are consistently fresh and delicious. I love the customization optionsβ€”they really let you get your drink just the way you like it. The shop is clean, well-organized, and has a great vibe for hanging out or grabbing a quick refreshment. Highly recommend their signature milk teas and bobaβ€”you won’t be disappointed!

Got their taro bubble tea. Was super refreshing and we customized ice/sugar levels. Felt like the sizes are a little small compared to what you would usually get in other cafes (we got an L). Ambience is decent and they make your drink before you. Time management is terrible though, because one person had to take care of way too manu online and in-store orders.

I had my first mochi bubble waffle at Gong Cha, and it was enjoyable! I decided to try the Dolce Milk Coffee Bubble Tea, which I really liked. I appreciated being able to easily choose my size, sweetness level, amount of ice, and toppings for both my drinks and waffles. They offer quite a variety of options, including seasonal items like pumpkin, peach, and Hershey. The kiosk option is super convenient, and the service was quick and friendly. In terms of ambience, it's okay; I’d treat this spot more as a grab-and-go place, but they do have a couple of tables if you want to sit down. Overall, it’s a pleasant spot for bubble tea.

Staff was very helpful with the recent FFXIV promotion! They answered all our questions, cancelled my friend's order and let her replace it when she made a mistake and were very patient showing the options of rewards available. The drinks were tasty too! The sushi store onsite is also quick and delicious.
