Gong Cha

Place closes whenever they want . It says open till 9pm, the employees will close earlier than that time . Definitely should change their signs if that’s the case. Not very professional but it’s Fordham ! Update it on google too :)

Very nice, I like their drinks very good too

Been going here since it opened and the girl who tends to work the register at the front is always consistently rude. Meanwhile I heard her being very polite to the customers that looked older behind me. I don’t appreciate her attitude every time I enter, and if they want this location to prosper she should just be removed. The rest of the staff look just as bored to be there, further complimenting the bland and weird ambiance when you walk in, terribly awkward. Drinks are hit or miss, got the worst drink I ever had here, a simple strawberry milk tea, it made me never want to drink boba again, and I love boba. I abandoned it outside after one sip. It’s crazy one place could make me dread something I usually love. Do better and hire better staff.

TLDR: Gong Cha and Xing Fu Tang are my current top 2 boba shops! I got their earl grey milk tea 3Js (includes tapioca boba, herbal jelly, and pudding). It's like 50% toppings though. I usually get 30% sugar and light ice. This was really good but a bit sweet for my tastes. Sometimes they don't know how to process my Gong Cha giftcard so I suggest better staff training for that. What's the point of having a giftcard of I can't use it? Pro tip: It can also get VERY busy when school/work lets out. So order ahead to avoid the wait! No seats or bathroom here. I did see they started selling bubble waffles and I might try that on a future trip.

It’s a good boba shop and you’d get what you expect
