About Gong cha - Chinatown

Gong cha - Chinatown is a bubble tea in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is listed at 917 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, which places it among the local businesses of Philadelphia 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.

The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11 AM–10 PM.

Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Philadelphia is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

The saleswoman was very rude and unprofessional. I even asked for advice about the drink, but she stayed silent and didn’t help at all. On top of that, she gave me a different drink than the one I actually ordered. I left upset and without my drink. Very disappointing experience.

One of my favorite boba places. Great boba ratio, and their warm drinks are great in the winter time. Wheelchair accessible.

Today’s experience was extremely disappointing. The store clearly stated that it opens at 11:00 AM, yet customers were left standing outside for more than 10 minutes before the doors were opened. We ordered 5 QQ Passion Fruit drinks and 5 Aiyu drinks, but after returning to our workplace half an hour later, we discovered that none of the passion fruit drink toppings had been added β€” no pearls and no coconut jelly. We had to make a third trip back to the store just to address the mistake. The only female employee there had a very rude attitude. She aggressively told us that they β€œdon’t sell QQ” and even asked us what β€œQQ” was. We then pointed directly at the pearls, and only then did she refill the topping. Throughout the entire interaction, she was impatient and unfriendly, even slamming the toppings down on the counter, which felt extremely disrespectful. As paying customers, we were treated as if we owed her something. The service attitude from beginning to end was unacceptable. We definitely will not be coming back for bubble tea again.

So far been there once but I’ll go back. The woman there was helpful. I should have looked at her name tag so I don’t have to just say β€œthe woman”. But good experience so far.

Love gong cha. Like that the tea flavor is so much more profound than other bubble tea shops. The Christmas holiday cup is so cute. Theres no seating inside, just quick service to take away.
