Lovely little tea place at Harvard square. Large selection of drinks and customization (boba anyone?). Service is quick, and there can be a line, especially when the university is in session. I found a favorite beverage: matcha lemonade, without sweetener. Refreshing and yummy on hot days. There is space to sit down and enjoy a drink + company. Music is discreet, so conversation can flow smoothly. I keep coming back! read more

Ordered some winter melon milk green tea here. They have really fast service and some good internet. If you can snag the table by the window you can have some nice people watching while you sip and work. read more

this kung fu tea was conveniently located near harvard's campus for a quick treat. They also had lots of seats!

Our boba was so good! They have the best flavors and best toppings I would definitely recommend!!

I remember coming here for the grand opening in February 2020 and then the Covid-19 lockdown right after! I'm so happy that this business is still open after all these years! And I vividly remember this place being one of the first "authentic" bubble tea shops in Harvard square! And now there are so many more! Yay! Recently returned and delighted to find out that they offer B2G1 in the summer afternoon hours. Service was okay, but I think they were just too busy to care. Not 5 stars due to relatively poor indoor air ventilation. CO2 was around 1000 ppm during my stay. They had AC on full blasting, but I think there might not be enough air circulation going on. Also, the entire store is honestly just a little dirty. There was visible dirt on the floor and bench. Could perhaps use a deep cleaning. Love all the allergy friendly labeling and also caffeine-free labeling! Definitely a great spot for students and tourists who need a refreshing drink! read more

Kung Fu Tea is one of the OG boba spots in my option. This location is one of my favorites to come to when I want a quick drink. It is located in Cambridge close to Harvard square. If you think to drive here be aware that there's not much street parking, I recommend taking the train and walking. The ambiance of this store is very lovely, the space is a good size and very clean. They have a good amount of sitting tables for the customers that do not want to grab their order to go. The service is fast and the customer service is great, employees most definitely keep a smile on their faces. My go to order when I come here is their Oreo slushy with boba. This drink taste amazing and it's perfect for hot days. read more

Love it here! Children make me come on a regular basis and we enjoy it. Nice customer service.

yummy tea, had a great time with my sister. Tried the mango milk tea. Recommend everyone to visit.

Was surprised to find a KFT so close after my dinner at santouka. The place is small but clean with a few tables for seating. There isn't very much space for a line. I imagine during busy times patrons would need to wait outside. Wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in a stanchion or two. There is a single bathroom available to use if needed. I ordered my usual honey oolong milk tea. It was a bit sweeter than I would've liked even though I asked for 50% sugar. Everything else was consistent with other KFTs I've been to. Solid bubble tea spot! read more

I recommend getting the KF milk tea and the taro slush! Great ambience here and it is always a favorite for late night

Good boba place located conveniently near campus for students. Variety of drink options but I got a standard black milk tea with boba half sweetness and less ice. The half sweetness was still pretty sweet but nonetheless tasty. A few tables inside to hangout or study read more

While on a visit to Harvard, we dropped into Kung Fu Tea for a drink. This is a relatively new franchise that is like the McDonalds of Bubble Tea. We ordered: Hot green tea Taro Milk Tea with Boba Mango Green Tea with Boba The teas tasted exactly the same as the one from New York. That is probably one of the highest compliments a franchise wants to hear. It means that they have great quality control to ensure you get the same taste and experience regardless of where you are. Ambiance/Decor: the interior design is consistent with any other Kung Fu Tea or general bubble tea shop. They even have a gender neutral restroom. Food: the Quality Control is very good. The teas taste just as good as the ones in NYC. TL/DR: if you like the bubble tea from one Kung Fu Tea, you will like it here as well read more

Yum! I'm so excited to have this Kung Fu Tea location so close to campus. It's currently only in the soft opening period (according to Instagram, the official opening date is Friday), so WiFi hasn't been set up yet and hot drink cups aren't available, but I think they will be soon! The location was packed full when I went, but the tea and boba quality was still great. (I got the mango green tea with bubbles and the jelly that comes with the drink and also tried some of the winter melon green milk tea. Both drinks came with a good amount of toppings and were really tasty!) The space looks really nice and is in a great location, and I look forward to coming here a lot. The only downside is that with all the students in the area, I have a feeling that it'll always be busy! read more

I always get the strawberry lemonade with pearls. I still wish that kung fu had a non-dairy option before its drinks. I know that all of the milk drinks have milk in them and as someone who can't drink milk it's upsetting. But the strawberry lemonade is what I always go for. read more

Super busy with all the students and the front waiting area can get very crowded, given that the storefront itself is small. However, they made our drinks very quickly and quality was just as good as all other KFT locations. Limited seating. Great addition to Harvard Square!

There's currently a special to get two bubble teas with pudding, but my partner and I were told we couldn't get the special because we didn't have the code on our Kung Fu Tea app. However, nowhere on the official Instagram page that advertises this special or on the site that the Instagram page links to says anything about needing the app or a special code. The cashier told us that we would be able to find it on the app, but the app had nothing. I was very disappointed with this customer service, and I feel like the Instagram page should be consistent with what the cashier will ask you, and that the app should have the offer easily accessible if it's necessary to access a special. read more

I'm so glad Harvard finally has its own Kung Fu Tea. It's always a journey for me to get to Davis or go downtown when I'm craving some of their milk tea options. My go to are the hot oolong milk tea and the green milk tea sometimes with with bubbles or pudding. I ordered a plain ooling milk tea alone and it was ready within 10 minutes (there were a couple people ahead of me in line) This location is small with a good amount of seating space. I expected it to be jam packed since a lot of college students love bubble tea but surprisingly it wasn't. read more

I ordered a taro milk tea but it tastes nothing like taro. And it's too sweet... this never happened at other Kung Fu tea Update: It's a fact that the taro milk tea at Harvard was too sweet and no taro flavor (1st v; however, they do have great customer service and reached out to me immediately. My second visit, the drink was great like all others I had in the past. read more

When I first heard that Kung Fu Tea has come to Harvard Square, my jaw dropped to the ground. As a former college student here, I painstakingly recall that in order to get "good" boba, one had to venture all the way out to Allston or Chinatown -- or go to BTS on JFK if you're in a pinch. Had Kung Fu Tea been around when I was student (in fact, it's super near my old college freshman dorm!), I think I would have gained the Freshman150... Anyways, Kung Fu Tea is a pretty well-known national boba chain, but their quality is something that I can stand by and count on where ever I go. My go-to is the kung fu milk tea with boba, less sugar, and less ice. The boba is always very chewy and with the perfect sweetness level, not soft or soggy like some others. The milk is always very creamy. It's awesome how the quality is so consistent from location to location - you know exactly what you are getting! At this location, there's ample seating inside, which makes it a perfect place to work or catch up with friends. Harvard Square is so lucky to have gained Kung Fu Tea - I'm sure it will be a treasured place for college students and visitors alike for years to come. read more

We used their app to make our order - they told us when it would be ready (in the app). We showed up to a busy store, no employee visible, but our paid-for order was waiting for us on the counter, so we picked them up & left without seeing any workers - I'd definitely recommend using their app ahead of time, b/c it seemed like there was only one employee, who must've been super-busy and unable to man the cash-register. ANYWAY. I ordered the Kung Fu Milk Tea with Boba (Earl Gray [Bergamot] with Milk) -Less Sugar (70%0 & Less Ice - and it was DELICIOUS - perfect amount of sweetness, and the BOBA themselves were SOOOOOO GOOOOODDD! Chewy & Sweet - based on their app's description, it seems like all their Boba is cooked in brown-sugar, which matches the national chain's description for the "Wow Bubbles," which this store's app didn't seem to offer - so my theory is, they only offer the Wow Bubbles (cooked in Brown Sugar, and Not rinsed, served with the brown sugar syrup still on it), and not the usual one (cooked in honey, and then rinsed - bc of their app's description & the delicious brown sugar flavor). My companion ordered the Taro Milk Tea with Boba - More Sugar (120%), and it was just as DELICIOUS... Very strangely, both teas seemed to have the same amount of sweetness... which is odd, b/c 70% and 120% have a 50% difference (sort of). I mean, don't get me wrong, they were Perfectly Sweet, but it seemed not to matter what level sweetness was ordered - they know the ideal sweetness, and make it that, regardless. My one theory is that b/c their printer for the order labels was streaky, and so both of our stickers, cut-off the % of sweetness (mine just said, "Less swe - %" and his said, "M e - %" that they couldn't tell what we ordered, so they just gave us both the default 100%... Idk, but it was delicious. The Boba, in particular, were perfectly chewy and brown-sugar infused - just perfect. I'm not what to order next time b/c both of ours were perfect, but might have been the 100% sweetness (given long diatribe above). We will be back, and likely to order the exact same thing, just to see if our original order results in the exact same sweetness again... Whatever, we loved it, never saw an employee, and highly recommend their boba milk teas. Of note, I had been worried, before I tasted it, that the Kung Fu Milk Tea (Earl Gray [Bergamot] was going to be too strong, esp the Bergamot, but it was perfect - not too overwhelming with the Bergamot, more like a hint of it. tl;dr - Order the Large Kung Fu Milk Tea with Boba - Less Sugar (70%), Less Ice (possibly no ice next time), & the Large Taro Milk Tea with Boba - More Sugar (120%), No Ice. Sweet Chewy Boba Happiness. read more

This place is right on the corner of Harvard. If you are not family with KFT, it's in my opinion one of the best boba shops. The mango snow is a must try! read more

Visited this location on a Friday afternoon, so it was packed with both college students, high/middle school students just finishing school, and other customers doing work. When you enter, there's not a lot of room to wait in line or wait for your drink, so the entrance can get kind of congested. They have a few tables as well. I ordered the purple yam latte, which is a new drink. Even with a bunch of people waiting, I got the drink in 3 minutes, which was great. I believe this store also takes mobile orders. The yam latte wasn't too sweet and actually did taste like purple yam, which was very unique, I really enjoyed it. Will definitely visit this location again if I'm in the area! read more

Food--boba is standard, good milk substations for someone like myself with a dairy allergy. Decent prices Ambiance-- is pretty solid. Good music. Clean establishment! Service--the staff at Kung Fu have stood out as particularly unaccommodating and uninviting. One example: On a rainy June 9 2023, at 4:30pm, I ordered a hot chai tea with boba. I specifically asked the server if boba was possible in a hot drink. He assured me this was routine! A few minutes later, he handed me an iced drink. I asked for the hot drink I order. He refused. He said I would have to pay a different price for the hot drink because he had mistakenly rung me up for a cold drink. I took the drink, but it rubbed me the wrong way in the context of the staff's usual callousness. In the future, I'll be more likely to go to my other favorites--Dado Tea or Moge tee. Or, I'll skip Kung Fu boba entirely and pick up a Tai-yaki from Hokkaido Ramen or a waffle from Zinneken's. - One Harvard Square Dweller's experience read more

I haven't been to a Kung Fu Tea in forever and I'm a huge fan of their boba (always so fresh!) so when I was walking around Cambridge and spotted this location I had to stop in. At this location you could go in and order although I think some are order ahead on the app only. They were busy making orders (several were waiting to be picked up) so it took awhile for anyone to wait on us. We decided to try my favorite the honey oolong milk tea and then we tried the pineapple refresh iced tea. The waiting area is very cramped. It looked like a line formed outside for people trying to get their items so we went out and waited. It was hard to tell when ours was ready as many looked exactly like what we ordered so we did have to keep going in to check. I wonder if there is a better system they can use so you don't have people crowded outside and not sure when their order is done.. it was orderly but everyone was a bit confused and unsure about going back in to check. My oolong honey milk tea was delicious. Can I say again how much I love that boba?! The pineapple drink was refreshing but very sour. I also didn't love the chunks of pineapple which we stupidly combined with boba (that wasn't a great combo). With some many awesome teas though I would definitely return and try something else! You never know if you'll love something if you don't take the change and try it. read more

I am pretty disappointed and frustrated by the service I received during my visit to the Davis Square Kung Fu Tea last Friday. I recently learned that there was a Kung Fu Tea on my way home from work and have stopped by a couple times to grab a drink before starting my commute home. While I previously would order in store, I recently switched to using the app to place my order before I leave work so that my order will be ready once I arrived at the store. Each time that I've ordered, I've had to wait a minute or two after arriving for my order to be ready however the wait time during my last visit was unacceptable. As shown in the pictures, my mobile order was placed at 5:19. I arrived to the store at the suggested time and waited about 15 minutes for my order of 1 beverage to be ready. The wait was frustrating but the parking ticket that I received while waiting so long for my order defiantly taught me to pay for 30 minutes worth of parking next time and not believe the times quoted by the app. read more
