I personally use their app to order anything, as it saves so much time (plus extra rewards like a free size upgrade; it's amazing). But the times I order in person the workers are so nice and respectful! Highly recommend to anyone trying out their shushes and milk teas! The ambience of the small shop feels like I'm actually in the 21st century, while incorporating cultural inspirations. Only really annoyance is with the app. The place is open but I can't use the app for the first 30 mins of it opening, which is a minor inconvenience. read more

The most inconsistent tea place in my neighborhood, every time I go there's a chance it's going to be bad. Last 4 times, my tea was made incorrectly. They barely put any simple syrup, and it never tastes or looks the way it should. The kids working there definitely don't want to be there. Not sure who to bring this issue up with, I hope someone can show them again how each drink is made. I even asked cor 120% sugar lol and when I tasted it it had 0%. I did 120% because last time I did 100% and it tasted like 50%. I thought hmm maybe if I do 120% it would taste like 100%. Anyways I'm just venting because now I'm drinking coffee at 12am instead of drinking my mango green tea. I am going to return the drinks tomorrow, I think I've had enough wasting my money on Kung fu tea. There's no one there "managing", I'll just go down the block to vivi's. Will probably avoid this place in the future. read more

A good go to spot to get a quick fix for boba cravings! I always order my oolong bubble milk tea here and they never miss here with creating a good drink! I appreciate that when I ask for less sugar the drink actually tastes less sweet. I've been to other locations where I ask for less sugar but the drink still tastes as if they added a ton of sugar. I often like to order via the KFT app as you can accumulate points for free drinks, toppings, or other items! You also can skip the line and there's no minimum for a credit card transaction whereas I believe in store you have to spend a minimum amount. My drinks are always made fresh and it's ready soon after I put in the order. Overall great experience with this chain location and will be back! read more

I love KFT and the service here is great. The girls here take my orders so quickly and they get the drinks done within 5 minutes. My favorite is the strawberry lemonade with nata jelly. Sometimes I get other drinks when they have specials but that's my go to drink. Not sure why people complain about the $10 minimum because I always get at least two drinks. their macarons are also so good - the cookies and cream one is my fave. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Strawberry Lemonade with nata jelly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my favorite bubble tea chain. They have a wide variety of flavors to try. I always try to get a new flavor each time. Upon entering you go to the cash register to order or step to the side to view the options. The ording goes pretty smoothly, the cashiers seem to know how to work the machine quickly. They have the option to scan your code to get points for possible future drinks. Ordering never takes more than 2 minutes if you know what you want. Depending in how busy it gets it can take about 5 min to 10-15min. The place is relatively clean but small. You may have to wait for your order outside but they do call your number in the speaker when its ready. 5/5 will continue to return read more

They only allow Apple Pay or credit cards with a $10 minimum Let's be serious nobody has cash on them anymore. When my order came to $5.88 I wasn't allowed to purchase cause it wasn't $10. The girl told me to buy macaroons to get to $10 LMAO. I walked out. No thank you. Go to Vivi tea just two blocks away. read more

They recently just did the princess peach collab and the cups are soooo cute. I tried all the different peach drinks and my favorite was the Princess Premier - which is a peach green tea. I also like to get their Oreo wow when I'm feeling some milk that day. It's a $10 minimum so bring cash if you only get one drink. I usually get a macaron if I forget to bring my card or another drink! I like the lychee rose macaron. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Occasionally I like to do my boba run here especially when they have their bogo deals, such as their mangonada slush. I had tried mangonada slush before at a different store in Texas but I don't remember if it's from the same chain or not and it was so good. Thus when I saw this promo I was excited to try it again. Unlike my first experience, this one was a bit sour (the ratio of sweetness and sourness was not equal). The service was standard. Here it's more like a grab & go order because there is no room to sit. read more

So if you're sick of pictures of me And the legs and high heels of Barbie There's one antidote Get some balls in your throat Get Lemon Black at Kung Fu Tea! I wanted to take off my pants, but I didn't, because then it would've been Hung Fu Tea. What to get: Lemon Black Tea with Tapioca! Or: All the fruit teas are pretty good, especially if you go off menu and get black tea! Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! This Kung Fu Tea is incredible, and it's so good that it's one of my favorites in New York City. They make extremely sweet, and extremely lemony products, with really good-to-eat tapioca and the little barista girl was so friendly and cute and included lots of flirting too. So really this little location had everything except a damn bathroom. But it still gets 5 stars, because the products and service were absolutely top notch, in fact, they made me want to rap.

Kung Fu Tea - Oolong Milk Tea KF Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I recently revisited this location in my neighborhood and was shocked to find that the drinks here are $2-3 less than what you pay in Manhattan. I rarely have boba so I usually go for unique drinks when I order. This location is tiny, but they have an organized system where you pay inside, then head outside until your number is announced through a megaphone. Probably a little annoying for people living on that block but very helpful for social distancing. That day, I ordered a rose hip milk tea with boba. The price was around $4 for a medium. I caught a hint of tea flavor in my drink but actually didn't like the rose hip in it. It tasted very artificial. I think I just chose the wrong flavor because I've had other drinks here (regular milk tea with boba, milk foam cheese drink, red WOW milk) and liked them all. The boba are soft and chewy, and the menu extensive with a variety of flavors both fruity and milky. Overall, this is a refreshing and affordable alternative for boba lovers to get their fix. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Rose Rosehip Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Never had a problem or any issue with my order. Staffs are friendly and pretty nice about changing up Boba's for pudding or jelly. There's this one time when a new clerk made a black tea with herbal jelly (tasted so bad), took one sip and I returned back. Manager gladly exchanged another drink for me without issue. Since it's a franchise drinks are mostly the same everywhere else. Customer service at the Sunset Park location lacks a bit of that. Really enjoyed my drinks here. read more

My ALL TIME FAVORITE bubble tea place i like it sooo much better than the others (coco, vivis, etc) but yes probably more sugary than most. Been coming here forever i just ask for less ice and sometimes 75% sugar but i don't mind the sugar. I never taste all the extra powder (like vivis) which is a big nono to me. I usually get winter melon, white melon milk tea, taro (hot/cold), milk tea, lychee, passion fruit green tea i like them all. Fam has gotten coffee and honey lemon too which they like not my fav but honey lemon is very refreshing. Lychee tastes like straight up lychee juice haha love it. Get the bubbbbles theyre so nice and chewy read more

Kung Fu Tea - Winter melon - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Taking off a star because I wish they accepted credit cards after the two years I've been going here. Otherwise, it is your typical KFT with great boba drinks! Seems organized and very cleanly during this entire pandemic. Arrows have directions for customers to enter / exit the store and they have people wait outside for their drinks. read more

Speak about the best bubble tea on the block...Literally , so there are few bubble teas on ave U that I know of so far but Kung Fu Tea is the best I have tasted. When you come in it's a really small place with about five chairs to sit down and the menu is on the wall and also above the cashier (electronically). My all time favorite is the passion fruit green tea with tapioca less sugar, less ice. There is a variety of toppings that you can put into your drink. Also you are able to control the amount of sugar and ice you want in it. The other great things you can get here are macaroons and they are amazing! I have never tasted a macaroon as good as these. They have Nutella, Caramel, Pistachio, Strawberry and more. The only one bad thing about this place is that they only accepting cash, so always come prepared. read more

I love this place! I always get bubble tea and crave it whenever I don't have it lol! The staff are respectful and are fast and make my drink in minutes! The store is very clean and have trash cans and never smells! I get my exact order every time and they manage to make it perfect! Keep it going! read more

Kung Fu Tea has such a huge variety of delicious drinks! The strawberry lemonade punch is my absolute favorite though. It's that perfect mixture of sweet and sour, and not overpoweringly sweet like some other bubble tea beverages. Also, the bubbles are perfect! I love the texture and there is a generous amount of them. There's nothing like having this drink on a hot day. I'm craving one right now! I also always use the app to get more rewards. My boyfriend got some mango drink, which was too sweet for my liking, but the mango jelly was delicious! read more

Another amazing Kung-Fu Tea location - who doesn't love KFT? Customer service is great and this location has adjusted to COVID precautions by having customers wait outside for their drink after ordering. Consider ordering in advance on the KFT app to avoid lines/waiting times! read more

Great Tea spot flavors are always on point the people working there are cool defiantly stop by for a good bubble tea or coffee

These days there's a bubble tea establishment everywhere you go, however for a Kung Fu Tea to finally pop up in Brooklyn was long overdue! I honestly feel alot of bubble tea spots make their bubble tea similarly, but there's something about Kung Fu Tea that stands out. First of all, it's definitely the most popular bubble tea establishment in NY because it's opening up everywhere (Chinatown, Elmhurst, Sheepshead Bay) so there HAS to be something good about it. Second of all, there's plenty of teenagers-young adults going back constantly so their bubble tea quality must be pretty dang good! Third, they seem to market themselves better from the minor details to the big ones. Anyhow, to the details of the bubble tea. They make great bubble tea, nothing to complain about and they are fairly priced with other bubble tea places. Since they are a chain, they are trustworthy in that you can believe that their quality is good so if you are ever in need of some bubble tea and you know of a Kung Fu Tea around, give it a try! read more

The 3 stars is for the 5 cents they charge for a carryout plastic bag. It's a bit shady enough to want to nickel and dime for a bag, but to point to the NYS plastic bag ban sign on the wall as the reason is a bit sketchy since it doesn't apply here for 2 reasons - 1) restaurants and similar food service establishments are exempt from the ban and 2) the NYS law only allows for charging 5 cents on PAPER bags. Other Kung Fu Tea stores across Queens, Brooklyn, Long Island don't charge (although I think Mott St was before the pandemic). This left a bad taste in the mouth (pun intended) especially given the order for 6 drinks. Anyway, ordering via the app went well and the order was ready before the time stated on the app. Social distancing was also being enforced by having people wait outside after ordering so that's good too. read more

Options for bubble tea are pretty limited in the area - you only have Kung Fu Tea, Vivi and Gong Cha which is a decent walk away from the other two. I think KFT is decent in this location. The workers are highly receptive to your preference in regards to ice and sugar level. The actual store itself is small, but they do have a good system in regards to social distancing. When you order and get your receipt, you wait outside of the store and your number is called in from the speakers in which you then go inside to receive your drink. With the KFT app now, you can also use it to get some deals and cheaper boba. I would recommend the rosehip milk tea, oolong milk tea and red wow milk. Overall, this is really nice, affordable and quick place to get your bubble tea. Would recommend! read more

The long-haired male cashier has a bad attitude and is impatient during the whole process of ordering.

Literally the best boba in NYC hands down. They also offer discounts very frequently on the mobile app. I love how their bubbles have their own taste (I heard that they're soaked in brown sugar) and don't taste like plastic. The tea is also brewed on the strong side which is exactly how I like it. My only issue is that the default sweetness of a lot of drinks seems to have gone up recently so it's hard for me to guess what level of sweetness I need to order for myself. Highly Recommended: -Caramel Macchiato with bubbles -Lychee Black Tea -Oolong Milk Tea with Oolong Tea Jelly read more

Just another regular bubble tea spot in the neighborhood. However, I would still choose Kungfu tea over Vivi's diagonally across the street. I usually get the Passionfruit green tea with coconut jelly with 30% sugar level and light ice. This time I decided to try something new, the Lychee Punch with coconut jelly. I couldn't get a lower sugar level for this because a syrup was used for it. There was lychee bits at the bottom with the coconut jelly. Nothing special. It was $3.50 for the drink itself and $.50 extra for tapioca or jelly, so it came out to be $4.00 I know they have kitchen snacks they sell to compete with Vivi's and I've tried their popcorn chicken, I personally don't think it's as good as the popcorn chicken from Vivi's. It's a pretty small spot with seating for like 6 people or so. The servers are usually pretty friendly and welcoming. read more

I don't know how 'kung fu tea' has such high ratings. It only got popular recently. Before noone even heard of it and they just go to Tbarr or something. Let's be real, kung fu tea's selection of drinks is so limited and they only have tapioca and jelly. That's it. What happened to the famous healthy yummy aloe gone to?!?! Other bubble teas has aloe, pudding, popping boba etc. Another thing I don't know how they're famous for 'milk tea' but no. They can't even mix the powder well.... their jelly is always always so mushy. I don't even know what they do to it and lack sweetness. read more

My boyfriend and I were in the neighborhood with his mother. I was thirsting for an ice cold beverage so I stopped by this Kung Fu Tea to pick myself up a beverage and my boyfriend and his mother a beverage too. This Kung Fu Tea is smaller in size compared to my neighborhood's Kung Fu Tea and there's no place to sit or stand and enjoy your bubble tea. I ordered the Herbal Jelly Wow Milk with Tapioca. I'm not sure why there's a "wow" in it when there's nothing "wow" that popped out to me. I like this drink because it's not sweet at all except for the tapioca balls and a tiny bit of sweetness from the herbal jelly. read more

Just like any other business, best quality when they just opened up. Then the steady cash flow is generated and its whatever, no need to impress. Large Taro slush extra bubbles used to be my thing. But now the ice isnt even being crushed. Just blocks of ice in my slush getting all watered down. Also... how does a bubble tea spot run out of bubbles ? read more

I like this establishment more than other Kung Fu Teas that I've been to. This one on Ave U is more spacious. The staff is also great & pretty efficient when it comes to making the orders (and getting them correct). I'm so glad that they've finally arrived in Ave U. There aren't any other bubble tea places around & even if competition moves in, I'm pretty sure they'll still beat it with what they've got. Another plus? Pretty long hours for the summertime, ch'yeahhh! read more

Honestly, their tea is good. However, sometimes, I think the bakeries make do with their milk tea for half the price. Also, my coworkers and I order here quite frequently. When he orders, he brings it back and complains they get the order WRONG. I guess either their place has loud machines or we don't speak up enough but I think it would be great if they repeat back our orders. read more

Bubble tea seems to be more and more of the hottest growing trend these days. But, I'm a traditionalist and stick to my Yogi or Mighty Leaf tea before bed. These days are though behind me now, since I've been introduced to Kung Fu Tea, the better bubble tea alternative. There extensive choice, I feel like you can sit there contemplating for days. I feel like I want to try everything. Each one is unique and sounds interesting in its own way. But, back to the future, oops I mean the Bubble Tea. The pearls are just the right consistency, not hard jaw breakers, or gooey, slimy gunk. They seen to be the perfect consistency, really a hard trait i find with this ever growing trend. For me the most important thing that Kung Fu Tea offers is for you to decide how sweet you want your drink to me. I hate anything sweet, desserts, soda, etc. So to have a lightly sweetened or unsweetened option is perfect for me. I love Kung Fu Tea and when I'm in the area I consider it a must. read more

Solid bubble tea among tons of competitors on Ave U. A few changes recently made me really frustrated with this location. Every little adjustment is a huge upcharge and this location is cash only and takes a bit to get your order. Overall, great bubble tea...but comes at a price. read more

Their tea is good but their staff could be more professional. When I tried to order a drink everything was going smoothly until I pulled out my card to pay and the girl behind the counter told me "only cash" I forgot they don't accept card (it's been a while) and was upset because I didn't have any cash on me. It's not a big deal, but I didn't like the girls attitude towards me when I pulled out my card. She did a 180, she interrupts me to tell the girl in the back to stop making my drink before turning back around to give me a bored look and purse her lips at me while I try to look for enough change. I didn't have but all she did was roll her eyes and give me really nasty attitude As a customer, I was really annoyed by her attitude. She could have easily said something to fix the situation. There was a store across the street that I was going to go to and get cash back but after her unprofessional behavior, I was immediately put off. She wasn't friendly or didn't apologize and give me a solution to the problem. What really bugged me was how she told the girl to stop making my drink when I could have gone to get more cash. I live in the neighborhood, I've been going here since I was in high school and I've never had a problem before Just wish she was a little nicer, Now I got to go look for another bubble tea place read more

They don't use the KF Tea app, it's cash only. But I like KF bubble tea the best so I'm glad it's here. Parking can be a bit tough since it's in a street with supermarkets, but I've always managed to find a spot. (Street parking) My favorite drink is the KF milk green tea. I've tried the taro slush with Oreos which were pretty good. You can also modify the sweetness of your drinks as well as how much ice you want. read more

One of the only bubble tea spots that survived in the neighborhood! I'd say I'm a frequent customer of this store (one a week or every other) My favorite from them is the Kung Fu Milk Green tea with bubbles! It is light and with bubbles, it almost always satisfies my bubble tea cravings! My only pain point about this spot is that they do not accept credit cards but besides that everything else is great! I went today and they introduced mini bubbles! I got it to try and no disappointment there! Love their choices and variety of toppings! read more
