Taiwanese Bubble Tea Chain Gong Cha Is Coming to Austin | Eater Austin

"The campus location at this Guadalupe Street address—dubbed Dobie—is now open and offers the same made-to-order bubble-tea experience aimed at students and campus visitors. Teas and pearls are made fresh every four hours and drinks are tailored to individual sugar and ice preferences; the extensive menu includes brewed and milk teas, coffee and yogurt drinks, and smoothies, with toppings like tapioca pearls, basil seeds, red bean and coconut jelly. A signature slightly salted milk foam crowns many drinks, and seasonal toppings (for example pumpkin spice milk foam) rotate in. The concept traces back to 2006 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and is part of a network of over 1,500 franchised locations worldwide, including in Texas." - Erin Russell
