If there’s one thing Gqeberha locals know how to do, it’s treat themselves. Whether you’re winding down after a long day, catching up with friends, or just in the mood for something sweet, the city has some gems that hit the spot. Two names that keep coming up in conversations (and on Instagram feeds) are Unico Bubble Tea and GQ Creamery.
So, in the spirit of fun, we decided to put them head-to-head in the ultimate Battle of the Treats.
Round One: The Vibe
Unico Bubble Tea brings a slice of Asia to Gqeberha. With its colourful drinks, chewy tapioca pearls, and aesthetic setup, it’s a spot made for both sipping and snapping pics. Think refreshing, playful, and trendy.
GQ Creamery, on the other hand, feels like home with a gourmet twist. From rich scoops of handcrafted ice cream to indulgent waffles, it’s comfort food with flair. The vibe? Warm, welcoming, and perfect for family outings.
Winner: Depends on your mood! Instagram date? Go Unico. Family-friendly indulgence? GQ Creamery.
Round Two: The Flavours
Unico Bubble Tea is all about choice. Brown sugar milk tea, taro, matcha, fruity options—you name it. The fun lies in mixing and matching toppings, from pearls to popping boba.
GQ Creamery knows how to tempt a sweet tooth. Their ice cream flavours are smooth, creamy, and unapologetically indulgent. Chocolate brownie, strawberry cheesecake, or even a classic vanilla—each scoop is crafted to perfection.
Winner: Tie. Bubble tea is a refreshing pick-me-up, while ice cream is the classic comfort king.
Round Three: The Experience
At Unico, every sip feels like a little adventure. The first pop of boba or chewy pearl makes the drink interactive, it’s not just about taste, it’s about the fun factor.
At GQ Creamery, the first lick of that velvety ice cream is pure nostalgia. Whether in a cone or a bowl, it’s the kind of treat that makes you slow down and savour.
Winner: Unico for novelty, GQ Creamery for timeless comfort.
The Verdict
So, who comes out on top? Honestly… it’s too close to call.
If you want something refreshing, trendy, and Insta-worthy, Unico Bubble Tea wins your heart. But if you’re in the mood for creamy, indulgent classics that never disappoint, GQ Creamery takes the crown.
Maybe the real winner is… us, because we live in a city where both are just around the corner.
Okay, maybe we cheated a bit, but honestly, we couldn’t pick a winner.
