Gong cha - Old City
130 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Philadelphia's charming Old City neighborhood, this Gong Cha location has earned serious devotion from bubble tea enthusiasts willing to trek across state lines, thanks to its impressive range of milk foam, milk tea, slush, and coffee series alongside impeccable execution that rivals their other locations worldwide. Beyond the extensive menu, visitors rave about the genuinely pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff, making it as much a destination for lingering and meeting friends as it is for a quick specialty drink grab, with standouts like their crème brûlée brown sugar bubble tea and milk foam black coffee winning consistent praise.”

This place was awesome I drove 2 hours here since there isn’t any other Gong-Cha’s around me and payed 17$ to park and let me say it was definitely worth it along with the amazing sights of China town I had an amazing time getting Felix’s pick (the reason I went there in the first place) I went back a few times and i absolutely don’t regret it! I recommend the taro boba milk tea (Felix’s pick) or the original boba milk tea (also Felix’s pick) these are just my personal favorites though! Also you do get a free Felix pin or keychain when you buy from Felix’s pick!
Fantastic bubble tea spot! Their creme Brulee brown sugar bubble tea is really good, and I definitely recommend it. The atmosphere is really pleasant, the folks are really polite, and their recommendations are solid. This is definitely the best Gong cha in city, highly recommended!
Best boba place in Philly ever! They have milk foam series, milk tea series, slush series, coffee series & tea latte with so many options for toppings. I have visited Gong Cha - Old City for many times. The place is very cozy and clean. You can also play mini games here (Jenga, Uno, etc) that they provide. They have also clean restroom. I hope you visit and have the same experience I had!
Great bubble tea! I've been to a bunch of Gong Cha locations (mostly in other cities) and the quality is always good and very consistent. This is probably one of the nicest Gong Cha locations I've been to. It's very spacious, clean, and the service is great too! It may be the location but the prices were also just a tiny bit cheaper than I was used to. Not cheap, mind you, but fair for bubble tea. Recommended if you're in the area and have a craving for bubble tea, you won't go wrong here.
Made it out to try out the new bubble tea shop that just opened up in old city part of Philly. I got myself the milk foam black coffee, ohh it was so good, that milk foam on top just goes so well with it. Being a newly opened place, the ordering process was so easy, drinks were made so fast. Plus they are doing a buy 2 get 1 free this weekend as part of their grand opening promotion. Stop by check them out today for your chilled drinks yum! 😋🧋
