To celebrate, the first 100 customers will enjoy a free bubble tea, with all drinks on the menu available at half price for the entire day.
Founded in Taiwan in 2006, Gong Cha has rapidly expanded globally, with nearly 2,100 locations in 26 markets. Known for its high-quality, freshly brewed whole-leaf tea and premium ingredients, the brand’s arrival in Belfast marks its first location on the island of Ireland.
