Gong Cha

Across from the crowded Times Square sidewalks, Gong Cha offers a pause just west of the theater district on Catherine Street. Milk teas, fruit teas, and signature cheese foam toppings arrive chilled or hot. Customers queue for signature oolong milk tea layered with silky foam; fresh fruit teas blended on demand; signature brown sugar milk tea with boba pearls; or light herbal teas for a quick cool-down. Grab-and-go orders finish with customizable sweetness and ice levels. Engineer any drink with chewy boba, popping boba, or lychee jelly before heading back into the Manhattan rush. Save the empty cup as proof of the next stop—dial (212) 343-7019 to check ahead or place a quick pickup order. The map directions land you at 1 Catherine St, New York, NY 10038, a two-block walk from the subway.
