Such great customer service! I came in for my order pickup of the canned green tea drink and turns out they were out of stock. The employee offered me another canned one instead but they had dairy in them which I can't have. They were able to give me their green tea in a cup instead and it was so delicious! read more

The boba: best around! The drinks: it can take some trial and error to find the right sweetness level for your taste buds. I like to get the least sugar available for a drink since I find the toppings sweet enough usually Personal fave: taro milk tea with boba This location: service was quick and positive. The barista was helpful as we considered a few options. The space is huge and is shared with the restaurant Lepot Chinese Hotpot. read more

Kung Fu Tea in Dinkytown is a solid spot for bubble tea, especially their Brown Sugar Milk Tea--rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Service is quick, and the staff is friendly. It gets busy, but they handle it well. Limited seating, so it's best for grab-and-go. Great quality for the price! read more

Drinks were delicious and the employee taking our order was patient as we decided what drink modifications we wanted to make. Bonus: the current collab they have going on with Strawberry Shortcake is SO good! We tried the Strawberry Shortcake Delight and if you love fruity flavors and matcha you will think the same too! read more

This is my favorite KFT location because it is inside Le Pot Hot Pot- making it perfect for and after dinner dessert or pre dinner beverage. KFT is a chain and this location is pretty consistent. I love getting the rosehip milk tea, oolong milk tea or signature milk tea. Sometimes I change it up with Taro or a yogurt drink but everything is good. KFT is def on the sweeter side, but you can ask for less sweetness or less ice. I love getting the regular boba but sometimes mix it up with pudding. You can order at the counter or download the app. Service is fairly quick. There's a couple counter spots to sit at but most people take their drinks to-go or with them to their tables when they get hot pot. Def has a more casual feel to it. read more

Grapefruit yakult -a little sweet. A little sour. Slightly creamy. Mango jelly add on. The drink has plenty of pulp bits. Love the mango bits. Kung fu tea isn't my go to. I digg this drink though. read more

I love getting boba but this was an unfortunate visit for me. The worker made me the wrong drink and I tried to ask for another one & they refused and said I could buy a new one. Not wanting to cause a scene, I threw away the drink & emailed the customer service asking to correct the error. They told me to reach out to the specific store and I called and emailed with no response. Corporate was able to refund me, but I was disappointed at how the store didn't want to communicate with me about the issue at all. read more

Kung Fu Tea - Dinkytown - Coco Kung Fu Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I don't like beans in my drinks, not even MUNG FU If you brought the tea, it's already been BRUNG FU If you're seventeen, sorry bae, but you're too YOUNG FU But if you want Lemon Black Tea, you come to KUNG FU! It makes some of the rivals taste like eating cow DUNG FU It's at the top of the ladder, while you're on the lowest RUNG FU You'll love if you're easy going, even highly STRUNG FU So if you want a Lemon Black Tea, you come to KUNG FU I tasted it and screamed so loud that I collapsed a LUNG FU I carried on screaming and sounded like Angus YOUNG FU They played Sting on the radio, but I'm already STUNG FU By the wondrous Lemon Black Tea they serve at KUNG FU I went to the toilet, opened Snapchat, then I SUNG FU Came back, took my pants off, and the girls yelled "HUNG FU!" In walked Barbie and immediately I'm SPRUNG FU And you should come and get a Lemon Black Tea from KUNG FU! WHAT What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, but it's usually a low 5, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha and Coco. However, they're still really good, and the fruit teas here are among the best. Especially the lemon black tea which absolutely rocks my world. If it's not on the menu, demand it! Other fruit teas (Berry, Orange, Grapefruit) must also be ordered off-menu as Black Tea instead of the meh Green. Also the Lemon Black tastes good as a Lemon Oolong, but everyone else hates it because they have bad taste. The funny thing is that as far as I know there are only two Kung Fu tea locations in Minnesota and they are within a couple of blocks of each other. I have no idea if they're owned by the same people but I got the feeling that they were not. They could not be more different and yet both of them are completely different to most other locations. The other location you will barely be able to move when it's busy. There's no table seating and just some stools around the side which are usually full. They're also extremely friendly. This location on the other hand has a decent amount of seating. They share their space with a restaurant that serves Chinese hot pot. The owners of the restaurant are also the owners of this franchise location of kung fu tea. They make an excellent lemon black tea that is very tasty and has good Boba and pretty much hits all the notes that you want a lemon black tea to hit. They were friendly especially the girl working here and I'm a big fan. I would definitely come back again and get lemon black tea in the future. Anyway, since they share their space with a yummy restaurant, let's get some food to go with our Bubble Teas. I'm feeling kung-ry. read more

I really don't like to give 1 star but the serve was just HORRIBLE and the drinks were watery that I felt like this was the most fair from my experience. If you want good service and boba/bubble tea in Dinkytown I suggest checking out Chat time or Feng Cha Teahouse instead. A major disappointment that I didn't like this place. Since this place is inside with a hot pot place it was very loud and definitely not an ideal place to study or do work. When we walked in and up to the counter to order the cashier didn't even greet us, she just stared (had major RBF) then yelled "what do you want?". I asked her "excuse me, give me a few minutes to decide". I then asked her if I could mix two flavors (honey and lemon) and she yelled no- so apparently you can't choose or make your own two flavors here. I ended up ordering an iced lemon green tea and the iced Kungfu milk tea- both with tapioca pearls. The pearls were hard and both of the drinks were watery. I think I'll stick to other better boba places in the Twin Cities, with good service and drinks! Tip- pretty much only metered parking (daily from 8am-10pm) because it's in Dinkytown. There is a ramp nearby with an hourly fee if you place to explore other places in the area. Otherwise there is bus 2, 3, and 6 that comes by often. read more

I thought about just giving a solid three stars. But let's settle with a low four. Here's the ups and downs Fu: Location: The Ups: Right down in Dinkytown, near a lot of other stores and businesses. The Downs: metered parking, unless you can get away with having your friend wait in the car as a "getaway driver", however I suggest for the getaway driver not to wear a ski mask, there's a TCF bank across the street and down a block. Tea: The Ups: I got the Thai Tea, the flavor was a very rich Thai tea The Downs: seemed a bit watery, which if you read other reviews this seems to be a common thread. Boba: The Ups: However you like to refer to them as, boba, pearls or just bubs, they were pleasant. Must have been a fresh batch since they were a little on the softer side. However, I actually like them a bit harder Fu. The Downs: They kind of skimped, there could have been double the amount, after all I am paying for them. read more

This bubble tea place is in with Lepot hot pot, so you can get bubble tea to have with your meal if you want you just have to walk up to the counter and order and bring it back to your table. I had the passion fruit green tea with mango popping bubbles. I get the same thing at every place to compare and this is one of the best I've had. They have the smaller popping boba which I like and they had a good consistency. The tea was the perfect amount of flavor and sweetness. Overall I would recommend this bubble tea place. read more

Pretty large variety of drinks and arguably one of the best bubble tea drinks near the U of M.

My daughter and I came back to Kung Fu Tea on her half birthday (yes, we celebrate half birthdays). She had been looking forward to going back to Kung Fu Tea after we went there seven months ago. I wish we lived closer because I know we'd be there a lot more frequently! The flavor of both of our bubble teas was delicious. Both of us commented that the bubbles (boba) were chewy and the perfect addition to the drinks. My daughter makes bubble tea at home and says that the boba at Kung Fu Tea is the best out of any place she's been. I'd agree. We look forward to going back to Kung Fu Tea again! read more

Probably won't ever revisit, but wanted to let my fellow Yelpers know that the service was terrible and the cashier was rude and had a terrible attitude. I have always enjoyed their signature house milk tea so that's what I ordered again. I was really impressed their boba balls weren't stale or terrible tasting! Pricing is definitely cheaper than anywhere in California! We ordered 2 drinks for only ~$9!! read more

Finally another Kung Fu Tea has opened up in Minnesota. This time in Dinkytown, less than a mile away from the other one! Kung fu tea is my favorite boba shop in the twin cities because they have the best boba in terms of chewiness and sweetness. All other boba places are either super hard or are tasteless or not chewy at all. Kung Fu Tea is a chain, but the two locations in minneapolis are a little different than the other ones. They don't take the app and they have their own VIP system. VIP system benefits include upgrade to free large size. I'm not going too deep in the history this time, but boba here is some of the best you're going to find in Minnesota. It's on par with many top places in California. As far as tea, some people don't like it, but I like their milk tea and the milk green tea and wow milk. My favorite go-to drink is the Kung fu milk green tea with boba and the Red Wow, which is lactaid milk + red bean + boba. Check this place out if you want the most authentic boba pearls in the state. read more

Get the "Thai" Milk Tea if you like mouth drying bitterness (at 100% sweetness) and do not want your Thai tea to taste like... a Thai tea. My friend got the Cocoa Cream "Chai" Milk Tea, she recommends it if you want a drink that tastes exactly like milk but not milk and pay $$$ for it. And "that's just how it is". ‍ read more

Busy as it's located in Dinkytown area. Located within the Le Pot restaurant. Metered street parking. Lots of choices for drinks. They have a small section with tables and chairs to sit and enjoy. Ordered the new flavor wintermelon with coconut milk milk tea with regular sweet level. Not too bad, a bit kind of too sweet for me though. read more

Honestly, KFT everywhere else (chicago, houston, and Louisville) are so disappointing. I can't even finish it because it's so disappointing. But something about this location in Minnesota, I can always get the perfect combo. Great taste, soft boba and good service. If I ever need to go to KF, It would be in Minnesota only. I had the yogurt green tea today. 4/5. read more

This place is awesome! I enjoy coming here each time. I had the Oreo drink and that was sooooo good! Each time I come here o try a different drink and I am never disappointed! Fast, efficient, and always good! Service is awesome, and this is always my go to place when I'm in dinky town! read more

I've been to KFT in multiple locations in the US. For a chain, it isn't bad. Kind of like McD's for boba drinks. No matter where you go, the menu is the same and quality is consistent. It was the first time for me at this location. Not a fan of it being located in the same space as the hot pot place, but can understand why it's set up that way. Service was ok; not terribly friendly but it got the job done. read more

No, just no. The Thai tea tasted bitter like coffee and had a very powdery texture. Boba pearls were either old or undercooked. Tasted and looked like nothing like a Thai Tea I've ever had.. Not only that, the customer service was a 0/10. Threw out both of my drinks right after trying them. Ordered: Thai Milk Tea and Winter Melon Green Tea read more

Kung Fu Tea is an international chain, but hey, they're consistently good! Their bubble tea is some of my fave. You can adjust the ice and sweetness, and their tapioca pearls are always a primo consistency. My go-to is a taro milk tea with 50% sweetness and tapioca pearls. I think I cop out ordering the same thing almost every time because all of the tea flavors and toppings combos are overwhelming! But I appreciate that they are always coming out with new and seasonal flavors, like black sesame matcha and winter melon. Not to mention, this location is inside of LePot, so I get boba 100% of the time I'm at Lepot, which is (way) too often. It often can get busy and service can be slow, of course. Plus parking is crap. But that's Dinkytown for ya! read more

Yay!!! Another Kung Fu Tea near the UMN campus!!! So this one is located where the Target Express is and it part of a new hot pot place. This locations is a larger than the Stadium Village location where you can get a drink and have a seat. If you are looking for one hour parking, you are able to get it here. Since it is grand opening week for them. They have been deals throughout the week which is why I come so frequently. Personally I really enjoy the Milk Teas here a lot. One big reason why is that milk tea is non-dairy milk. So to my lactose intolerance friends, this place is the place for you. Also their Taro Milk Tea or Taro Slush is great as well. Their boba is made to the right consistency, so you get a nice chewiness. The nice thing about Kung Fu Tea, you are able to control the level of sweetness, amount of ice, and the variety of toppings. This location takes a bit longer to make their drinks but it is not terrible, just a thing to note. Overall solid place for boba drinks! read more

At first glance this place looks like a typical corporate franchise that caters to college age kids looking to "expand their horizons" with the "trendy ethnic drink trend" that seems to almost exclusively infect pale white girls. However, after you get past the flashy modern signage and the fact it's attached to the equally kitschy Le Pot, they make a decent drink here. The Taro slush borders on cloyingly sweet, but isn't enough to dissuade you from finishing the drink. While not the best bubble tea in town, it works if you are close by and looking to cool off on a hot Minnesota summer day. read more

Kung Fu Tea is usually a hit. I thought it was pretty neat how it's located in Lepot. The drinks were good and perfectly flavored. I would highly recommend this location if you're craving a refresher on a hot summer day. Stop right in and get your fix! I'm sure the lines will be out the door as the weather warms up. read more

Kung Fu Tea is great! I finally tried their drinks on a warm day-and it was really refreshing. They have tons of options for adding in items in drinks, and really make your drink customizable. I would definitely recommend the Taro Slush with boba. Since it's Dinky Town, I would imagine it can get pretty busy on the weekend. Parking is sometimes difficult, but as long as your don't mind paying you can usually find a spot. read more
