More Bubble Tea Heads for Allston as Gong Cha Expands in the Northeast | Eater Boston

"I'm told it will open sometime this spring at 154 Harvard Ave in the space that was briefly home to the Hot Spot; this Allston location is part of the Taiwan-based Gong Cha chain, which operates in the northeastern U.S., California, and Texas and is rolling out more than six new U.S. shops this spring and summer. Gong Cha specializes in hot and cold tea beverages — simple brewed tea, milk tea, lattes, and coffee blends — and lets customers customize sweetness and add toppings ranging from coconut jelly and red bean to pudding and multiple types of boba." - Dana Hatic
