Gong Cha Orion Springfield Central — Attraction in Ipswich City

This place is pretty good! The service is fast (at least for me it is) but you do have to wait in line for a little while usually since there's usually a long line. I've had four unique drinks thus far, all of which I have ordered small size and with standard sweetness and ice.

Firstly, the Mango Fresh Milk & Mango Pearls which I would definitely recommend.

Secondly, the QQ Passionfruit Green Tea (the first photo) which I personally didn't enjoy but my friend informed me that passionfruit is an acquired taste, so you may like it if you like passionfruit.

Thirdly, the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk & Brown Sugar Pearls (the second photo) which I liked but you may not like. Here's a test to see if you'll like this drink, get a teaspoon of brown sugar and eat it. Did you like that? Then you will probably like this drink. If not than I don't think you'll like it.

Finally, I got the Mango Fresh Milk & Mango Pearls but I got it with pudding on top (the third photo). I'll be focusing on the pudding here. It seems to be a sweetener, in the Mango Fresh Milk the sweetness of the mango and the pudding collided, however, if you feel like a drink you don't like could taste nice sweeter then I'd advise you to try it with pudding!

That's all,...

Fast service, friendly service. Downside, a bit of a hit & miss in regards to flavour. My first visit last week the pearls were plentiful and flavour was spot-on, this time round, not so much. Flavour was tasteless and watery for a Taro bubble tea. Have actually experienced this a lot with different bubble tea shops, inconsistent mixes. I thought I found my go-to bubble tea shop. Obviously not. You need to be consistent otherwise you won't get repeat business. Period. Sometimes fast service = poor quality. Take your time to get it right, I don't mind the wait as others would agree too. Here's an example: my first visit last week, only 2 people waiting for their order, the worker took her time, and got it bang-on. Today's visit was hectic, with 10 people waiting, the worker was rushing, optimum fail. But 10/10 for effort. Anyway, that's my $7 worth.

Update one year on - when I ask for less ice, I mean less ice. Read the label ppl. Filled my large cup with ice half way up! After 2 min my drink was watery. Plus, I'm sure the ladel is getting smaller. Next to no pearls after 3 slurps. Won't be back. I'd rather drive...

The quality of drink is always good. However the staff there is not nice comparing to other stores. I went to order two drink and want use the rewards to redeem one of the them. The staff insist that I can only do it in the next purchase. Another staff member said yes you can do it just need to order the drink separately. The first staff said u don’t understand why you have to do that, you can have you reward next time. I mean, how thus become your decision just because it is easy for you? The other staff end up putting through the order. I have to say that’s very bad experience and if it wasn’t the second staff I...
