    Coconut Milk Tea
    Minh V.

    Pleasantly surprised by the drinks here. Randomly came in , stumbled here, and Coconut Milk Tea is tasty. Creamy texture with balanced tea flavor. Indoor seating is available and service is great. For sweetness and ice level it can be adjusted. For Milk Teas, 50% is good for me. Offers medium and large size. Five stars.

    I've heard about Kung Fu Tea from a lot of people so I wanted to swing by today. I ordered a KF milk tea which is just a classic milk tea (50% sweetness, less ice and honey boba). It was just your average milk tea so pretty hard to mess up; however it took forever for them to make. It wasn't busy at all, but somehow took almost 15 minutes to get our drinks. The workers were pretty nice. I'm glad I tried this spot, but not sure I'd come back.

    Drink is blend. Below average. Surprised that they are still around in this highly competitive area. Service was nice. Staff was friendly and energetic. Ambiance: have some small tables for you while waiting for drinks.

    This place gets the job done. It was really hot out and my mom wanted to get something to drink. The wintermelon with strawberry milk cap was so tasty. It was sweet but the strawberry flavor was really light. My family enjoyed the rest of the drinks. I think this place is ok i hope everyone else gives it a chance and lets me know if im tripping or not.

    Overall a decent boba shop and has many many options ranging from regular milk teas to smoothies to basic teas. They also have an app where you can order ahead of time and they often have deals on there as well (free topping or bogo). I've only gotten their milk teas, but I find that their milk teas are a bit too milky for my taste. If you prefer milkier milk teas, this place would be good for you. For me, I prefer a stronger tea flavor.

    Classic kung fu green tea with milk cap 70% sugar. Most perfect boba I've ever had
    Jordan W.

    The employees are always nice and all three of our drinks came out wonderfully! Mine was the most perfect green milk tea I've ever gotten with milk cap and 70% sugar. Wow it's gonna be hard for me not to come back multiple times a week!

    nationwide chain of kung fu tea joints...small location with some claw machines up front...placing an order for the taro slush $6.35...adding boba for $0.75 extra...comes out to $7.77 total after tax....not a cheap...most drink prices start around $5 to $6 for the various milk teas, punch, slush, yogurt and other drinks...empty on a weekend afternoon...a wait for drink to be made...drink is on the sweeter side...has the standard powder mix taste...

    Went specifically for the Princess Peach collab, was a little disappointed they ran out of the special merch. Service was a little slower than I thought it would be but not too bad. The drink was good but could've been better.

    awesome! super fun interior and great service! The blind boxes are such a fun addition to the atmosphere, also affordable.

    Milk Strike Signature Kung Fu Tea flavors paired with freshly cooked WOW Bubbles and lactose-free Lactaid milk.

    I love pairing boba with the poke paradise next door . Kung fu Tea is very efficient and have kind persons whom work here . The boba is always so fresh ! I absolutely love their milk strike series as I am lactose intolerant (^_-) I am very grateful for the inclusion of non dairy drinkers. Ambiance is quiet and the majority of the shop is taken up by the register/ bar area . The seating situation is some counter height chairs and an outdoor table with chairs .

    Cute boba spot in the Lion Plaza!! We got our usual order of passion fruit green tea and mango passion fruit and both were great. We upgraded to their deluxe honey boba and was soooo soft and delicious - highly recommend! That being said, it did seem slightly pricy but I would definitely add this into our regular boba rotation.

    Came here since it was close to my work. Ordered a honey milk green tea and a passion tea green tea fruit drink. When I got my order I noticed it had no milk and I told them and who I presume was the owner; a man, just said oh well and starred at me and his worker a young lady looked like she wanted to do it over when he was the one that made the drink but he seemed like he could care less. And poor young lady since he got mad when she was checking out a drink and it was spilling and be yelled for her to watch out. Probably won't come here again since the owner or whoever the man working seems rude and doesn't care about customer service. They also take a while to make drinks since ppl were even waiting outside. Parking is also tight outside of here. Much better places to get boba around this area.

    I came here for an afternoon pick-me-up. I ordered a boba milk tea with less sugar through their app. When I arrived, my drink wasn't ready yet as they were making it right then. My milk tea was ultimately just okay. I tasted more milk than I did tea. The boba had a good consistency but had no flavor. Maybe it was an off day. I may come back in the future if I am in the area.

    Ask the Community - Kung Fu Tea

    Are the Kirby cups/tea still being served at this location?

    Yes, Kirby drink is still available at KFT San Jose.

    Does the T-mobile Tuesdays discount work here?

    Yes! I just used it today.

    Is the Fruits Basket promotion going on right now?

    Yes. Free one-month Funimation Premium Plus Membership when purchase a drink and will be giving out Fruit Basket sticker starting April 1st. The Fruits Basket drinks are now available.

    Are they hiring still?

    Yes they are still hiring.

    The photos on yelp have "non dairy" milk option but in stores their menu does NOT say that under Milk Tea category.... why is that?

    Their regular milk teas are all made with nondairy creamer; if you don't ask they'll automatically make it non-dairy!

    Is it open already?

    Kung Fu Tea SJ will be soft opening on Tomorrow ( 10/17/2018) .

It was super convenient if you're out walking your dogs like we were. I'm usually a fan of their Pandan, but I think I have a new favorite. The banana cream and Guava cream paired with matcha is a total game changer. You can tell they aren't using cheap ingredients; the matcha is high quality and the cream is actually thick and rich (hopefully its from real fruits haha) which makes such a difference for a latte. It's definitely on the pricier side( about $9 per drink if you want to substitute with other milk), but for the quality and the vibes, it's 100% worth it. Service was fast and great! Plenty seating indoor and outdoor but parking spaces were limited.

(They were right... the parking lot does suck!) If you're lucky enough to come at a quieter time and are able to snag a spot, I definitely think it'd be worth the visit! I ordered the guava matcha. As someone who isn't necessarily the biggest fan of matcha, I actually thought the drink was solid. The matcha had a lot of depth and the guava flavor was STRONG. My drink came out only a few minutes after I ordered; they're super quick to make drinks here, which is appreciated! They have a few seats inside the cafe and some outdoor seating if you plan on staying and hanging out. It is quite expensive here though - my matcha ended up being closer to $10. Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come again given how busy it typically gets but was definitely worth a try!

    Came here as a result of my regular place in Santa Clara being closed. There was a decent amount of…read moreparking (though it was quite early in the morning so that might be affecting it) and the space inside is relatively big with a lot of seating. There is a kiosk for ordering, as well as paper menus on display for you to look at, topped off with what appears to be a photobooth on the side that you can take pictures inside of for fun. I decided to get the Lavendula Latte, which the barista delivered to my table. I had forgotten to adjust the sweetness (though thinking now I can't remember if there was an option for that) but the drink had a nice balance of sweetness. Only complaint I have is that the menus lacks photos (not sure if it's lag or if there genuinely are no photos), but I'd say that the drink looks okay. You also have to use McDonalds wifi if you want to do work here, but the wifi's free and seems to be working fine so I'm not sure if that's really a negative. Overall, a nice place to work at with friendly service. I might consider coming back here again if I happen to end up in the area.

The service was quick and friendly, and the environment was cozy for the rainy day. The space is clean. There are cute items sold in the front near the cash register from local vendors. We got two tiramisu lattes. I liked how they weren't that sweet. It felt like a nice treat that didn't weigh me down. It was a good coffee run to have before eating brunch. I liked how the menu is extensive and there is something for just about anybody. We saw a photo booth inside, but didn't use it. Overall, I think this location is tranquil compared to the other Big Mug, and their offerings are hard to beat in terms of variety. I recommend going here for your caffeine fix!

Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

There was a mix of people studying, working, and chatting with friends; it's a very lively community spot. Despite how chaotic it was, the space was generally clean and the service was great. The cashier made sure to get our names and address us by them. The decor is beautiful, feeling intentionally designed. I thought it was really cool that they have a slow coffee bar area specifically for pour overs (I think) where tech isn't allowed, so people are just supposed to sit and enjoy their coffee. I've never seen that before in a coffee shop. The menu is extensive. Since it was later in the day, the baked goods were half off, which was a nice surprise. I got a blueberry latte and an Asian fusion focaccia bread. Blueberry latte - I liked this! The blueberry flavor was subtle and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It added a light fruity note to the coffee without overpowering it. Fusion focaccia bread - This was tasty, but I felt the original price was steep ($12). My piece was around 6" x 3". The shiitake mushroom flavor was strong and I loved the addition of scallions and Chinese sausage sprinkled throughout the bread. Overall, this is such a cool addition to coffee culture in the South Bay. It feels like shop from a big city like SF, NYC, or Chicago instead of little ol' SJ.
