If you’re craving bubble tea in Applewood, Mississauga, there’s only one place to go: Gong Cha. Tucked into a tiny storefront next to Pizza Nova, in Mississauga Plaza at the corner of Dixie and Dundas (the same one with Rexall and FreshCo), this spot serves up the best bubble tea in the neighbourhood. Despite its small size, Gong Cha delivers huge flavour, with high-quality tea, perfect toppings, and an extensive menu that can satisfy any craving.

The Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea with 2J (pearl and coconut jelly) is a standout, balancing rich caramel notes with the smoothness of oolong tea. If you prefer something fruitier, the Lychee Oolong Tea is refreshing and floral, while the Mango Smoothie is a perfect pick-me-up for those hot summer days. Just be sure to customize your ice and sugar levels—it makes all the difference.

Ordering is easy with the self-serve kiosk inside, but be careful! The touchscreen is a bit too responsive, and it’s way too easy to accidentally add something to your order while scrolling. If you plan to visit often, download the Gong Cha app—you’ll earn rewards with every purchase, and you can even order ahead to skip the line.

Beyond bubble tea, Gong Cha also serves up delicious snacks, including bubble waffles and croffles (a croissant-waffle hybrid). Both are crispy, fluffy, and perfect alongside your drink. Whether you’re a bubble tea veteran or a first-timer, this little shop delivers the best in Applewood, one sip at a time.
