    The KF Milk Tea had ants frozen in the ice and inside the cups. When we walked in there was ants crawling at the front register.

    There was ants in my drink which nobody would want that, and I hadn't realized after I finished drinking it, there's ants frozen in the ice, even crawling around the store , when we first walked in that's what we saw a ant on the front desk.

    This place never gets old. Just updating my review with pictures. I would also recommend getting the red beans in your drink. It is amazing. I loved the mix of textures.

    Went over after having a bad experience with another boba place and honestly liked it. The restaurant when I walked in was inviting. The service was fine and pretty average and the taro was a little bitter but nice and the tapioca pearls were great. Honestly would recommend as it's not the best but pretty good.

    Just really bad came in not very busy and they don't have much availability on their flavor we wanted and the ice??? Omg see for yourselves the one that we have in waugh chapel gambrils is so much smooth and really slushy and the servers are near and clean not like this branch we went in looks like they just got out of bed with their 3 day old idk clothing

    This is the only KFT location currently opened with COVID19 going on and I have to say I was very disappointed. Service is quick, but they are absolutely horrible at answer your telephone calls. I had an employee contact me, letting me know they were out of almond milk and the slush machine was broken. I told them I'd call them back to let them know if I would like to replace those two drinks (as they were for friends--I needed to call them first to ask). When I returned the store's phone call, no one picked up and if they did, connectivity was poor. By the time I got there, my boba was ready but the black pearls were so undercooked. It was extremely chewy and the texture was dense and hard. Maybe it was just a busy day for them, but I expected my drink to taste better and to have been properly communicated with.

    This Kung Fu Tea is fairly small, right off the University of Maryland campus, and there's only metered and garage parking nearby. For the meter, coin (no credit cards or app) payment was required until 10pm, and we saw a diligent meter attendant eagerly looking for a "gotcha" moment. The customer base is almost all college students (we were alumni of the school at least!). Inside, there are a few armchairs by the window, a few long communal tables in the center, and a few two-person cocktail tables along the right wall. The tea shop was not busy when we arrived--no one in line and about 15% of the seats were full. The menu was high up on the wall to the left side, clear and brightly lit. My friends and I ordered without any difficulty, and the cashier was friendly, helpful, and patient. You can pay with the LevelUp app, and if you pay by credit card, this business uses Revel (via iPad) to process the point-of-sale transaction. There was enough seats for the four of us, and as time passed the tea shop grew sporadically busy with bursts of college students packing all at once, in alternating with dry spells where no customer entered for 10-15 minutes. They have a restroom but I didn't have a need. Overall, good place if you want to feel old!

    Y'all I'm a glutton for punishment I guess because I came back due to completely forgetting my last experience and I was in the area. Waste of time and money. Once again ordered the same drink...once again no milk cap. What made it worse was I came into the store with NO ONE present and the drink took 10 minutes due to training ...fine. But when I received my drink and showed them the order I was told "oh...we don't have that here". Then take it off the menu !! I've literally put a ‍ next to this location so I won't make this mistake again.

    Don't bother getting your drinks at this CP location because they won't respect you or your time. I love Kung Fu Tea, so it breaks my heart to give such a bad review. My most recent experience was beyond horrible. I ordered on the app at 4:24pm for me to pick up at 4:54pm. I arrived at the restaurant and went straight to the pick-up area. There were a few customers waiting, and some were ordering at the counter. With four employees at a small store, I thought they'd have somewhat of a system. They didn't. The other customers got their drinks before me, which was unfair since I ordered on the app for a faster experience. I didn't get that. Not once did the workers ask "what was I waiting for?" or "have I been helped?" Mind you I was waiting pretty close already. The girl just kept calling out orders without ever greeting me or looking at me! Until I stepped all the way up to the counter past the red line just to get their attention. Order was then passed to me at 5:10pm. They did not apologize. On top of the delay, my Mango Snow was missing the mango jelly. What a joke.

    09/01/2019: My usual...

    Review #240 - 2019 After our quick stop at the Peace Cross, I was in the mood for some KFT to sweeten my day! We showed up around 12:45 PM on Sunday, September 1st, and there were only 2-3 people inside so we were able to place our orders right away. I got my usual, of course! It's not easy to find a longan jujube drink at any other tea shop so I was trying to max out my ability to drink it as often as I possibly could while I was close to a KFT. My drink was made exactly the way I like it! This location was actually kind of weird. The ceilings are really high & it should have an open feel, but for some odd reason, it seems really gloomy and dim. Maybe it's just the people in there that seemed unhappy, but it just didn't have that "bright" feeling that I normally get when I walk into a KFT.

    The drink

    Very nice!! I really love this place and I get my bubble drink here, it tastes so good and good service but I don't know on ordering it. The designs is cute and the place is small and warm with dark colors and a tint of color :) Over all it's not bad but shouldn't be hated. But the bathroom is mid

    Taro tea with bubbles
    Toya J.

    Thought I had tasted good bubble tea until I had Kung Fu Tea. This place is the real deal. I tried the Taro Milk tea with the black bubbles. The tea is delicious and the bubbles are even sweet, making the drink a lot more enjoyable. I did not realize that Kung Fu steeps their tea in-house and all those other places that I thought I had good tea from were using concentrated powders. I'm watching empty calories. Although, I enjoy these teas once in a while, you gotta watch the calories or do some exercise during that day to make it worth your while. These teas are somewhere around 400 to 450 calories (high in carbs /low in protein/high in fat). When you go to their website you won't find much info on the nutrition. Definitely want to get out and try some other variations like the Kung Fu Matcha Tea and Passion Fruit Slush. I was so overwhelmed with all the choices, but in the window there is this Top 10 Kung Fu Tea poster, that's where I saw the Taro Milk and it turned out to be a great choice. Only thing is I wish they had savory snacks like the location in Germantown, I love the popcorn chicken, spicy and seasoned with basil. The sitting space here is very wide and open. Nice place to have an informal meeting or just to get together with friends. I didn't see a lot of people here, but it was a weeknight. I can imagine it may get busy from time to time. Staff is nice and full of suggestions. Parking best in the garage or metered along the back street.

    Big ice.

    Every time I order a drink from here it is done poorly and it feels it's always done on purpose. I ask for smooth mango slush instead I received BIG chunk of ice. I have a blender at home and it have never done this. Please do better and this place always sucks.

    update: apparently none of the drinks under milk cap have a milk cap and the caramel comes melted
    Sarah B.

    I'm seriously not trying to give them a lower rating but I swear on my grave my Cocoa Cream Wow straight up tastes like milk... When we asked the employees and showed them the drink, they told us that none of the drinks under "Milk Cap" actually have a Milk Cap which is very very misleading since the drink was $5 and also under "MILK CAP"-- and also that the caramel syrup is in the cup and just comes "melted" :/ Googled the drink and I guess everything is just misleading now since the drink looks nothing like what I ordered. Very disappointed at my experiences here

There's a small parking lot in front of the shop, but spaces are limited. Some customers park briefly to grab drinks and leave, and if your car gets blocked in, you may need to wait before exiting.

First, their location is very inconvenient unless you are on foot, which may be great for U of MD students, but if you are in a car, its a disaster when it comes to parking. This business even has a sign saying ask about a parking pass and they are not responsible if your car is towed. This alone makes this place already super unattractive. I fought my instincts and gave this place a try, but honestly, felt like I wasted $12. They have a digital kiosk where you can order your drinks and I chose a HK style milk tea (hot) with less sugar and also a jasmine milk tea with boba. The ordering for the jasmine tea was weird because it has an option to choose $1 extra for boba but if you scroll a little further down, you can get boba, no extra charge. I thought that was a bit sneaky, which I didn't appreciate. I waited about 15 min and then my order was ready. The HK style milk tea was supposed to be in a glass container but I only saw the sign after I ordered that they didnt have glass containers. That really sucked. The other issue is that when my HK style milk tea (hot) was ready, it was barely warm, which also was disappointing as it was a bit cool outside and I wanted something hot to warm me up. The HK milk tea also wasn't that great either, nothing special. I've had HK milk teas for about $2 elsewhere and they were great, but this was overpriced and lukewarm. I wont be ordering this again. The other drink seemed OK as I ordered it for someone else. I also thought this place was kind of dirty and could have been more clean. Not sure why the windows looked so dirty. I found the place kind of gross and it just didnt feel as clean as I like businesses to be. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience. You get one chance to make a good impression especially when there are so many boba options available. I definitely wont be coming back here again.

Manifest Bread not only has a neat variety of menu options but, the ambiance!!! It's a cool interior, clean bathrooms, and AMAZING STAFF! I've come twice for breakfast and once for their jambon beurre sandwich. My first breakfast included: - sweet potato bialy: interesting-in-a-good way grouping of ingredients and the crust was crisp - biscuit with butter & jam: biscuit was flaky, crisp, and yet doughy; the right amount of butter, and jam provided tartiness/refreshing bite - olive oil cake: no complaints! My second breakfast included: - biscuit with butter & jam: a must have! - basque cheesecake: I have to be in the mood for cheesecake and I'd aay it was "light and airy" but may not be the best judge here - cardamom bun: last 2 times I came here, the cardamom bun was coated in a thick white frosting, but this time, it was different, so i HAD to go for it and for a fan of cardamom, this was superbub! ABUNDANT amountof cardamom and right amount of moistness! I would have ordered a bialy again but new I was going to have a big lunch so will get it next time. The jambon beurre sandwich was not what I had expected as it was more...flavourful and salty than I would have preferred as I like a plain butter and ham on a baguette sandwich...however, you can taste the quality of the meats used. UPDATE: Went back for breakfast and this time got the mulled apple cider and: - onion poppyseed bialy: I did not need creamcheese with this and it was fine, but if you eat the crust with butter and the apple butter - yum. Crust was on the tough-chew side, but flavor profile was good. Now that I've had it again, will stick to the biscuit. - morning bun: very flaky, crisp, snd the sugar just got all over and me being a messy eater, I felt like I got the sugar all over me and sticky, too. Flavour was great, buuuut... - buttermilk biscuit with butter and apple butter: yum!!!!
