Thanks to all who emailed about Gong Cha coming to New York Ave:

“Signage is finally up and there’s a Poki DC right next to it! 1399 New York.”

Their website says:

“The house special product is “Gong Cha Milk Foam Series”. The special-made milk foam took a long time to develop before Gong Cha founded. The main idea was from the milk foam on Coffee Latte, and to improve the taste with salty flavor. The Milk Foam tea contains a lower layer of brewed tea covered by an upper layer of special creamer. Creamy taste with fantastic mixture surprises customers and gives supreme experience.. This series is the best seller in Gong Cha stores.”

“Apparently happened last week when I was out of town, but they’ve been closed all this week too. Phone is disconnected. Some of the shelves are empty but there’s some stuff still in there. WEIRD.”
