| - First Gong Cha drink shop franchise in Canada and it's located in GTA (Scarborough)!!!
For those who don't know about Gong Cha, it's a tea shop similar to Chatime. Gong Cha was currently branched at 8 locations internationally and most all over Asia that established 2006.
They opened in July 2014 and currently doing a soft opening with many promotions where they had buy one get the second drink free yesterday. Today, they did promotions on a few of their top 10 drinks when you buy 3, you get the 4th one free. Not sure what's going to happening tomorrow or coming Friday but Grand Opening is apparently happening Thursday but I could be wrong.
I'm so lucky to live in a neighbourhood with trendy and booming food shops; I get to try them before my friends.
I ordered the Milk Foam Winter melon Tea, containing a lower layer of brewed tea covered by an upper layer of special creamer which is their signature topping (creamer tasted like there was butter) they have 7 categories (Gong Cha Signature, Brewed Tea, Health Tea, Milk Tea, Creative Mix, Yoghurt Series and Smoothie Series) plus toppings section to choose and make your concoctions.
The ordering style and choices are similar to Chatime. Price is similar also but the question is who's better?!?! At this point, I would say Chatime but I've only tried one flavour, so I will have to try a few more drinks in different flavours to judge equally.
Décor was clean and modern looking. Two bathrooms at the back of the side bar.
TIP: You can do the same as Chatime and customise your order. i.e.) less ice, more ice, more sweet, half sweet and etc. Not currently displayed but from what I heard, this will be shown on two additional TV monitors not being used.
