Can't go wrong with Kung fu tea! The teas are always up to standard - fresh and tasty. There are lots of choices but I always go for a good old Oolong tea or Kung fu milk green tea. Their Matcha milk tea is also good, though the flavor is a bit too thick. I always ask for 50% matcha powder which the server is happy to accommodate. Always ask for less sugar, IMO. Also, try the orange yogurt - best thing ever! read more

See all

My husband loves getting his matcha tea with boba here. He says it's the perfect amount of sugar and the boba is a good soft texture, not hard in the middle like some places make it. Conveniently located off the C line Cleveland Circle stop and next to lots of restaurants, so a great dessert stop for after a meal! read more

First time trying today and will definitely be back! We tried the taro slush with bubbles and herbal jelly wow milk- both delicious! The taro slush was sweet and creamy, just like drinking ice cream. The light purple color was pretty :-). The herbal wow milk was light and refreshing. Saw many drinks I would want to try-especially the taro and red bean choices! With the chestnut hill reservoir being so close, we look forward to enjoying many king fu treats and a nice view this summer! read more

Great customization options! Came here multiple times and never disappointed! The Thai milk tea and lychee punch are the best I've had so far! read more

Excellent tea! Fantastic service! Love the Thai Milk Tea! Try the app for discounts!

The boba here is the perfect balance of sweet and chewy. I love the order ahead option since this place can get busy sometimes.

Great bubble tea place. Come here way tooooo often. It has quality boba and different variety of flavors which is always delicious. It can get a bit busy some times in the afternoon but worth the wait read more

If you're in the mood for bubble tea, definitely swing by Kung Fu Tea. It's a quick treat. It's a little pricey (approx. $5 or $6 for a drink), but it's the entire business so I understand. I highly recommend the taro with boba. read more

I really enjoy Kung Fu Tea as do my kids. Great choices and flavors. The popping boba are my favorite! I think the prices are in line with other bubble tea shops in the area. read more

The service, quality, and tastes are all so good! They also put hand sanitizer up front due to coronavirus! read more

Kung Fu Tea - Kung fu milk tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Living 3 stops away from this KFT is dangerous for my eventual diabetes. Every other day I'm craving orange green tea. Yes that is 99% of my order. I am absolutely obsess with their orange green tea, and they make it so perfect. I am pretty sure I've been to all the KFT in the Boston area and this one is my favorite. The other stores sometime doesn't have the best service and sometime my drink doesn't taste as expected. But not Cleveland Circle! Everything have tasted awesome. Only one time was my heart broken when they ran out of OGT. My second favorite is their milk cap selection. The creamy slightly saltiness perfectly compliment the sweet boba tea. Wintermelon and oolong is really awesome with milk cap. Also I feel like the price here is cheaper? Maybe... don't quote me, I didn't do a cost analysis on all the KFT but I just feel like it's cheaper here. The peach oolong tea is also really delicious. They now have the shaved ice cream thing, I tried mango bc the green tea one wasn't working yet. Mango was very sweet I should have gotten toppings. Will try other flavors for science. Anyways service is also pretty good. They are usually very quick. Never mess up my order. And they bag my drinks for me, I feel like a queen! read more

This place. I've been 5 or 6 times...I keep going because I just really love boba but I have yet to have a truly positive experience. As a lactose intolerant I have struggled every time to order something that is safe for me to consume, the people behind the counter have never been helpful or communicative despite me asking for help every time (the website isn't clear either). Once I do order, my drink is rarely correct. Tonight my friend ordered a green tea and was given taro instead. If I weren't so far from an alternative I would never go here. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Green tea that was actually taro. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Good service cute shop. Orders come out quick. Would recommend going back next time. We got cocoa cream wow and it turns out as expected

I was so excited when I saw that they were opening a Boba tea place in Cleveland Circle again! I absolutely love Boba but there aren't any places near me that sell it, so the times that I have it are few and far between ( I order it every time it is on the menu though). The first time I went I tried the Oreo Milk Bubble Tea. Oreos are one of my favorite cookies so when I saw this on the menu I was super pumped. It definitely lived up to my expectations, it was super good. A perfectly flavored milk tea with a good helping of Boba and crushed Oreos. The boba is sweetened well. I have found that some places barely soak the boba in sugar or honey if at all but Kung Fu Tea does in brown sugar and my taste buds could tell! I have been numerous times since my first visit. I wanted to try something different than the Oreo since there are so many choices on the menu! The Taro Smoothie was super good! It was sweet, probably a bit too sweet for some people, and I only ended up having half of it. I like that they have coffee options since I'm odd and enjoy Boba in about anything. It sweetens the coffee! The Caramel Macchiato was done well and cheaper than Starbucks. On this day they were out of the boba sweetened by brown sugar, so they used the boba sweetened by honey used in the "Kung Fu Milk Strike" Teas. I actually prefer the boba with honey so definitely ask for it and try it! The coffee milk tea is delicious but tastes almost the same as the original milk tea, just the faint taste of the added shot of espresso. Because of this if you want your caffeine fix I definitely recommend their signature iced coffee or another one of their coffee drinks. This route is cheaper too! read more

Y'all--when I tell you they have the best iced taro milk tea I've ever drank, I'm not lying. And I think it's great that they give an option of the level of sweetness and ice; that really makes a difference. Basically, this place rules and their taro milk tea is like crack cocaine for your taste buds. Go get some now! read more

Love this shit, bubbles are a must. I always ask for no sugar bc it's already so tastey and good. A little expensive but worth it . Download the app for rewards and treats read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

I never really had a bubble tea addiction. UNTIL I DISCOVERED KUNG FU TEA. I pretty much stop by here at least once a week because it's soooo good and I live so closeby that I can just walk here to satisfy all my bubble tea cravings. The tea is actually flavorful and not watered down like some places. And the bubbles are sweet (yum) and soft yet chewy, which I think makes it top notch. I either get the Oolong Milk Tea or the Matcha Milk. I usually don't have to wait too long for my drink since they're quick and efficient. read more

Guys, you should definitely take a shot with read bean wow milk. That one blowed my mind and it was soooooooooooo good. Seriously, it was delicious. Also, the cafe looked quite clean. So if you are going to Starbucks, go to kung fu tea instead. Same pricing higher quality. read more

This establishment is rather similar to any other Boba Tea place and they offer a nice selection of beverages: teas, slush and smoothies. Prices are reasonable but be careful not to add too many toppings (that average $1 each); otherwise you'll be paying $6+ per large size drink. Also, the drinks tend to be on the sweeter side so it's best to ask for 50% sugar/sweetness. Overall their location is great because the next closest Boba Tea place is likely 2-3 miles away on Commonwealth Ave. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Green Tea and Oolong Tea -- both refreshing for a hot summer day! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

This place is really close to my school so I visit here often. Their service is good and they make delicious bubble teas! :)

Came here for a refreshing treat after sushi, trusting the name of Kung Fu Tea to deliver the most perfect, chewy, and sweet honey boba. I was surely not disappointed! I ordered the Earl Grey Black Tea with boba (with half sugar), and it was perfect. The sweetness of the boba balanced out the tea so nicely. The interior of the shop was also spacious, more so than the other Kung Fu teas in the area. Location wise, a bit harder to get to since you have to depend on bus (if you have no car), but I would recommend to come here if you are in the area already! read more

Delicious bubble tea awaits! I love this location, located right by the C line. I have a gluten allergy and love the fact that they provide gluten-free options for drinks as well as having some options that are lactose free as well. Very nice for those that are sensitive to gluten and lactose to have this option. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who loves delicious drinks! read more

Writing this review, I really struggled with the basic idea of what makes a 4 star bubble tea joint versus a 3 star one. When you are dealing with a product that is so prepackaged and consistent from place to place, what is the differentiator? It only took moments of consideration for me to come to the conclusion that for Kung Fu Tea, it is the boba that differentiate them. I doubt that does much for them in the grand scheme of competitive advantage; that is immaterial. Their boba are better than the boba I've had pretty much everywhere else in Boston. They are soft, taste of honey, and are fully cooked. For some reason, this basic level of competence is rare. It's not something that I really care about when I get the less well-prepared boba elsewhere, but I'll acknowledge superior preparation when I see it. They are also open late, the shop is clean and professional feeling, and it's in Cleveland Circle (which I sort of arbitrarily like). Kung Fu Tea, you've won your fourth star. Drop your prices by a dollar (I know that's not super reasonable -- to anyone reading this, prices here are on par, not steep, just also not a steal), and then we'd be talking about a 5th. But this is solid. read more

Bubble tea is one of my favorite things in the world, and having grown up in NYC's Chinatown, I've had my fair share of good bubble tea. When I first moved to Boston 3 years ago, good bubble tea was hard to come by, especially since I don't live in the Allston area. The opening of this Kung Fu Tea at Cleveland Circle was the answer to most of my problems (I didn't care if I was drinking an iced beverage in the middle of a snow storm). The bubble tea at this location is excellent, consistent with the other stores in this chain! Pros: -The tapioca pearls are a good, chewy consistency, not too soft or too hard. It's pretty fresh every time I've had it so far, so it seems like they have enough business to consistently roll out fresh batches of tapioca. The tapioca is also cooked / stored in syrup, so the tapioca pearls have a bit of sweetness to them (just the way I like it) -Customizable sugar and ice levels -They use Lactaid milk, which is good for those who are lactose intolerant, and delicious for those of us who aren't (a.k.a. me) -Nice decor, has a bathroom Cons: -The drinks can be too sweet if you don't adjust the sugar levels. I typically ask for half sugar (also keep in mind that the tapioca pearls are already sweet) -It's still a new store and I can tell that some of the employees are a bit inexperienced (don't know enough about specific drinks, etc.), but this will probably improve over time -Why is the smallest size called "medium"?? -Not enough fruity tea flavors -The brown sugar ginger tea is way too spicy, it burns! D: Unsure: -Delivery service on Thursdays! I haven't tried it yet, but may do so in the future for a large group My recommendations: -Any of the classic Kung Fu Milk Teas -Red Wow Milk (my favorite, especially when I can't get a red bean ice from a Chinese bakery) -Matcha milk -Grapefruit Tea I have yet to try the yogurt drinks, but they look interesting! read more

I live in the general vicinity. From an AsianAm who has recently moved from LA to Boston, this is a nice treat down the street where I live. Now I don't have to go to Chinatown for bubble tea. Prices are reasonable enough - I have a faint weakness for the honey black tea. However, as spoiled as I was back in California, I'm used to see more varieties of bubble tea flavor. The selection is limited, but you can't go wrong. I'll be stopping by here more often to make sure they're in business - plus I need a better alternative than the usual frappahcino. read more

Best bubble tea around Bc. Come here pretty often after a long day. My favorite is green tea macha with bubbles. Soooo good

Kung fu tea is THE Best Boba Tea in Boston, hands down! I just wish they opened up a location in Newtonville.

Kung Fu Tea domination continues.....I had no idea they opened up a new branch in Cleveland Circle until last Sunday! The place is same as usual. Small, limited seats, but very clean and modern. The only thing that got in the way of me giving 5 stars was the service time was extremely slow. I think the person making it was a noob because it took FOREVER to get my drinks.. Taste wise, it's the same! read more

Usually don't like bubble tea, but the one from here is hands down the best I've ever drank!! Highly recommended.

Wow. This was my first time ever getting milk tea and ever trying boba and I was not disappointed! It's so delicious! They have so much to try on their menu and I'll definitely be back to give some other menu items a try. read more

I went opening weekend. This Kung Fu Tea is very long and had four tables in the front with a long bar. Service was decent. Bathroom was clean, but the toilet was wobbly. When I picked up my order of Two Red Wows and Two Green Wows, the girl working there explained that one of the labels was not exactly right looking, but the seal was tightly on. She offered to put another top on, but I declined. read more

This place is usually busy on the weekends. However, this is the only boba shop that I would go for in this area. The boba is freshly made and the texture is my favorite. read more

Peach Oolong Tea. Not too sweet, fruit chunks are great, very refreshing. Original Milk Tea. My goto because I'm just into the basics like that. Can actually taste that there is tea there. Taro Milk Tea. Love it here, at a lot of other places it is really sugary because of the powder they use. Again, here you can actually =taste taro rather than just sugar. Macarons. The dark chocolate ganache in the chocolate macarons is amazing. Basically you can't go wrong with drinks here. I haven't gotten anything I didn't like yet. read more

Can't honor the buy 2 get 1 (still a huge profit margin) Valentine's day deal. Despite large signs at the register about it. No sign that said the machine to process the deal is down. Not sure why customers would want to visit this place when staff doesn't want to help customers. For the high prices, I'm not sure why anyone puts up with this places service and taste read more

I came here when they first opened and got the worst bubble tea I've ever had. The bubbles were just..not soft or good. I'm glad I waited a bit and gave them another chance, because they worked it out. The last three times I've gotten really consistent, yummy bubble tea. read more

My boyfriend and I come here every Wednesday and it's always fantastic service and bubble tea. Highly recommend to all frequent and novice bubble tea drinkers! read more
