Gong cha - Vancouver

I started out on a mission to try a high end coffee place in downtown but got totally off track once I saw Gong Cha! Vancouver has a lot of milk tea places to choose from in Vancouver especially with the large Asian population but this place is top level. Tea tastes fresh along with the pearls having the right consistency.One side note, it's 2 doors down from Starbucks and is within their wifi range! Perfect for US citizens who need free wifi because they don't want to be charged for roaming.

Loved the milk foam green tea. We got it with coffee jelly. Almost on par with the Jasmine green tea cap I like to get in Edmonton at Gama. Loved the customization of the drink. We got it with 30% sugar and ice, which was perfect for our tastebuds. I mean, it's not going to be quite the level of the Gong Cha in South Korea, but it's quite good.

We stopped in for drinks at Gong Cha a couple of times while we were in Vancouver. I lined the variety and the taste. The place smells great when you walk in. It was very busy. We sampled a couple of drinks. A nice change of pace from Starbucks. I liked the sealed cups. Nice for traveling

As showed in uploaded photo, I did enjoy the HOT grapefruit tea which was recommended by cashier.

Came at 8pm on a Saturday nightPlace was filthy, tables covered in garbage and spillsGarbage can overfilling with trash.
