Tea in the United States covers everything from a traditional Chinese or Japanese tea house to a Southern sweet-tea counter, and the fastest-growing segment is bubble tea: Taiwanese-style milk teas and fruit teas with tapioca pearls, sold by chains and independents alike with adjustable sugar and ice levels. Tea rooms serving afternoon tea with scones and sandwiches usually require a reservation, while boba shops, juice bars and smoothie shops are walk-in and quick. Kava and kombucha bars are a newer category, and loose-leaf tea stores sell blends, teaware and gifts, often with a tasting counter. Prices for a drink run similar to coffee-shop prices, with premium teas and cold-pressed juices at the high end.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.

Gong Cha on Western Ave in Albany is fantastic! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the drinks are consistently fresh and delicious. I love the customization optionsβ€”they really let you get your drink just the way you like it. The shop is clean, well-organized, and has a great vibe for hanging out or grabbing a quick refreshment. Highly recommend their signature milk teas and bobaβ€”you won’t be disappointed!

Got their taro bubble tea. Was super refreshing and we customized ice/sugar levels. Felt like the sizes are a little small compared to what you would usually get in other cafes (we got an L). Ambience is decent and they make your drink before you. Time management is terrible though, because one person had to take care of way too manu online and in-store orders.

I had my first mochi bubble waffle at Gong Cha, and it was enjoyable! I decided to try the Dolce Milk Coffee Bubble Tea, which I really liked. I appreciated being able to easily choose my size, sweetness level, amount of ice, and toppings for both my drinks and waffles. They offer quite a variety of options, including seasonal items like pumpkin, peach, and Hershey. The kiosk option is super convenient, and the service was quick and friendly. In terms of ambience, it's okay; I’d treat this spot more as a grab-and-go place, but they do have a couple of tables if you want to sit down. Overall, it’s a pleasant spot for bubble tea.

Staff was very helpful with the recent FFXIV promotion! They answered all our questions, cancelled my friend's order and let her replace it when she made a mistake and were very patient showing the options of rewards available. The drinks were tasty too! The sushi store onsite is also quick and delicious.
