Gong Cha at 313@Somerset served authentic Taiwanese bubble tea to Singapore customers for 17 years, from its establishment in 2009 until the unexpected closure of all Singapore outlets on October 1, 2025. Founded in Taiwan in 2006, Gong Cha gained global recognition through word-of-mouth appreciation for freshly brewed bubble milk teas and uniquely customized service that allowed customers to tailor sweetness levels, ice amounts, and toppings.
The 313@Somerset outlet at #01-37 benefited from its location near the taxi stand, positioned slightly away from the main mall flow. This placement meant customers typically experienced shorter queues compared to other popular bubble tea outlets in busier Orchard Road locations. The convenience of quick service made it a preferred stop for shoppers and commuters passing through the Somerset area.
During its years of operation, Gong Cha became deeply integrated into Singapore's bubble tea culture, representing one of the pioneering Taiwanese brands that established the island's enthusiastic embrace of customizable milk tea beverages. The brand's commitment to quality ingredients and consistent preparation standards earned loyal followings across its network of Singapore locations.
The abrupt closure of all Gong Cha outlets across Singapore in October 2025 marked the end of an era for the Taiwanese bubble tea giant that had become a household name. Located at 313 Orchard Road, the 313@Somerset outlet served as one of many touchpoints where generations of Singaporeans experienced Taiwanese bubble tea culture before the brand's unexpected departure from the market.

Visited this outlet 26/10/2024 and had an worse experience. No seats at all and the girls just gossiping so loudly while others just doing their school work after literally finished their drinks. And the socket is not even working!!!

Tried their specials. Pistachio milktea was oka, pistachio can be stronger. Strawberry tea vinegar wasโฆ i dont taste the vinegar. Pomegranate tea vinegar has slightly stronger vinegar taste.
Also tried their tangyuan. Pearls was good but the whole bowl was not hotโฆ not even mild warm, its bordering cold. Tangyuan skin was thick and the peanut inside felt cold. Perhaps it will be better if cooked longer

Sorry to say that the drink is still sweet even I ask for No sugar + the girl chinese staff with glasses is really rude and seems tired working. Not good to work like this !
Nancy Sim
Staff Jia Yi seems like she had a had day at work. Terrible service, rude and not even a word of hello?
Mavis
Hope to help someone out - do check the charging ports before you purchase a drink if you are planning to stay for a long while.
I bought a drink before realising all charging ports were faulty!

Definitely the most unrated icecream shop in Singapore. When you think of GongCha, icecream is definitely not what you think they are good at. But they really do have some amazing icecreams. The texture was creamy and slightly thick. But that meant the flavours were much richer and full bodied than most icecream parlors. And there were so many flavours to try! I can't remember what I got, but here are photos of it.

Gong Cha never fails to please! We are pleasantly surprised with the new local offerings including warm desserts and tang Yuan! The taste is much better here in SG than it's international outlets. ๐

Though the queue at the outlet might be short, do prepare to wait for quite a while if there is any Grabfood order as the staff will be focused on settling the order instead of attending to the customers. Regardless, the quality of the Gong Cha is still up to standard.

Was always a fan of gongcha, but havenโt had it ever since they came back ๐๐ decided to drop by the outlet at 313 Somerset since I was nearby and for the first time ever I ordered a Alishan tea hot. First time trying the Alishan tea actually. It was so good! ๐๐๐ I donโt know it taste like that. Iโll be back more often! Hehehe.
They even have an ice cream selection which actually looks really good! Will probably give it a try next round too! โค๏ธ
Oh, counter staff was polite and kind too! ๐

Grabbed a bubble tea at Gong Cha after dinner. There was literally no queue and their service was quite fast. It is located outside 313 facing the main road next to the taxi stand.
Gong Chaโs winter melon tea with foam is the best! Donโt forget to add herbal jelly to it and you wonโt regret it.
Only thing Iโll add is why they use a plastic cap for this drink instead of sealing it like other bubble teas they serve. I feel it will taste much better after mixed with the foam.
