Gong Cha -Mira Mesa

I was surprised at how wonderful of an experience it was to order drinks from here and how amazing the drinks were. I have a bunch of allergies, and the servers really worked hard and knew their stuff to make it safe for me.

This place stands out to me for their Earl Grey milk teas. That and they give student discounts EDIT: Drinks are on point but dang they gotta get their act together with promotions. three times now we have been lured to their shop for promotions (BOGO, birthday drink, then the holiday cup) and each time there’s some excuse for why their promotion can’t be honored. The first two times was because their rewards machine?? was down so they couldn’t honor the BOGO or birthday despite us showing on our phone the text we received. the third time was for the Insta holiday cup, and they had already run out. Perhaps the holiday promotion can let slide given likely limited stock, but given the prior failures to stand by their promotions, i am not inclined to give them a pass. Please do better GongCha, there are enough other boba places to go to.

This is my favorite boba place in San Diego! Such a shame the Convoy location closed :/ but the drinks here never disappoint. The boba is always soft and chewy. My favorite is the QQ passion fruit green tea. The gingerbread man bottles are super cute from the holidays and the lychee oolong tea is delish. Drinks always come out fast and the staff is always polite.
