Gong Cha · 40-24 College Point Blvd | New York

The menu offers a wide variety of flavors, ranging from taro milk tea and brown sugar milk to passion green tea with coconut jelly. Drinks are assembled at pace, often ready in under 60 seconds. The staff experience is a mixed bag, shifting between helpful drink recommendations and indifferent counter service. Depending on the hour, the surrounding mall atmosphere oscillates between a chaotic, high-traffic corridor and a surprisingly quiet spot to sit down with a drink.
