Gong Cha at LUMINE Shinjuku 1

Gong Cha bubble tea counter in the basement of Lumine 1 Shinjuku serving Taiwanese-style milk teas, fruit teas and milk foam options.

This Gong Cha location is the Taiwanese bubble tea brand’s counter in the basement of Lumine 1 Shinjuku, just steps from JR Shinjuku Station. The menu follows the chain’s standard format of freshly brewed black, green and oolong teas paired with milk, tapioca pearls and a wide range of milk foam toppings, and the brand’s adjustable sweetness and ice system makes it easy to customise each cup.\n\nSignature drinks include the milk foam black tea, mango pudding coconut milk tea and the brand’s classic pearl milk tea, all made to the same recipes used across its Asian locations. Service is fast and the room is built for grab-and-go, with a small number of seats for those who want to linger.\n\nFor a Shinjuku bubble tea stop that brings the original Taiwanese Gong Cha experience to a convenient Lumine location, this branch is an easy pick. Order a milk foam tea, add pearls, and adjust the sweetness to your taste.
