Milk teas, fruit-based beverages, slushes, and more will be on the menu.
A new branch of the bubble tea company Gong Cha will open in Harvard Square on Sept. 9. This shop marks the 100th store of Anchal Lamba, Gong Cha’s “youngest and most successful” master franchisee in the U.S., according to the company.
Lamba said she has been interested in the Harvard Square neighborhood for several years because college students love to drink bubble tea, but it was just a matter of finding the right space.
“It’s right by Harvard University, it’s got great retail, and it’s kind of a perfect fit for Gong Cha,” Lamba said. “I’ve had stores in the Boston area since 2017, in Chinatown, Allston, [and more]. We really are growing. Harvard Square’s always been at the top of our list for many years.”
