    Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea
    Apryl D.

    This tea is awesome. Just as good as it looks Boba is my favorite and they do it just the way I like it. Strongly recommend it.

    Honey oolong milk tea, winter melon milk green tea, and two of the Japanese mystery snacks!!
    Rizma W.

    I just got into bubble tea in the last few months and I don't know what took me so long. Actually, yeah I do. I tried it once in college and it was not good. And those black pearls were just not for me. After seeing it featured so prominently on social media in the last couple of months, I thought I would give it another try. I came to this place and notice that there were a lot more options than the first time I tried it years ago. I decided to get the ginger milk, with lactose-free milk and crystal bubbles. Wow... Can you say "obsessed"?! I mean, it really makes no sense for a drink to be this good. I only wish that they sold it in a larger size because I could drink this stuff all day. It's the perfect sweetness, just a little bit spicy from the ginger and the crystal bubbles give it a fantastic texture (since they don't really have much of a flavor themselves. They're kind of like a very lightly flavored jello if that makes any sense). I love ginger and this is absolutely one of my favorite drinks. I've also tried the honey oolong milk tea and the winter melon tea. I love the honey oolong and will probably get it again, but I will pass on the winter melon. It just wasn't my thing. They also have a mystery Japanese snack that you can get for about two bucks. I've tried a bunch of them and I've never been disappointed. The hot garlic shrimp chips are my favorite! I'm literally finding every excuse I can now to pass through downtown Silver Spring to stop at this place.

    Passion Fruit Slush

    loved this place so so much the employees are really nice especially the trainees and the drinks tasted awesome 10/10 would recomend

    Accepts both cash and credit card. Update - May 2020, they are still open for business. Strictly carry out. You can also order online for store pick-up and or delivery service using door dash. We decided to give this place a try as other bubble tea shops have been closed due to the health crisis. Please note that this bubble tea shop is inside a shopping center. It's literally located across from the Regal theater. There is a separate door you can use to enter into the bubble tea shop. Due to the health crisis, all drinks will be placed on a table to allow for touchless order pickup. We ordered their black milk tea and their Thai tea. Both were equally good. They provide decent amount of bubbles in their drinks and you can customize it to have more / less sugar or ice. Many drinks can be made hot and or cold. The staff here seems friendly. If you are in the area, this place has decent bubble tea. They also have a rewards program in which you can download the app on your phone which helps you get points to get free drinks in the future.

    Thai Milk Tea
    Rumit P.

    I'm not sure when they opened up but already 75+ reviews so it must have been here for some time! To me it's still new. Located on the corner next to Ben & Jerry's, this bubble tea location is fairly small with only a handful of seats. It was not busy for a Saturday afternoon. No one in line, one friendly cashier, and payment by app. I ordered the large Thai milk tea with bubbles: $4.75, and I paid with their app. Downtown it to get your third drink free! The drink was ready within a few minutes. Super excited that this one opened up. Try it for yourself!

    Medium green tea with boba - extra bitter tea
    Hwal L.

    You could say I'm a bit of a boba tea connoisseur at this point, and I'll say I'd be back but only if I was desperate. ++ Decent service and friendliness from staff who took our orders Window bar seats where you can people watch - - I didn't care for the extra bitter tea Boba here was flavoured with something I just couldn't figure out that wasn't straightforward sweetness or fruit flavour but something in between...bottom line is that I didn't like it

    I love coming to this location. I was graciously served by Tiff after having a long day. The teas are delicious. I recommend the passion fruit green tea with bubbles!

    Thanita G.

    Placed a pick-up order 30 mins in advance and realized I placed the order at the wrong location. Tried to call in to cancel for more than 15 times in over 10 minutes but nobody answered. Tried to send a message to the official page on Facebook, an hour after, still nobody read it. Other locations are quick to communicate with me if there's anything wrong with the order. This place is unreachable. Just wasted my $6.xx :/ Edit: Thank you for the refund though. Minus one star for 15 minutes of frustration from trying to reach someone at the store.

    White Grape Slush with Mango Popping Jelly
    Jenny L.

    I've been to many KFT's in the area but this one has the best service and consistency BY FAR! The baristas are always friendly, and the wait for the drinks is never too long, no matter how busy it is. And bonus points for the drinks always being on point with the taste and desired ice/sugar levels that I ask for. Highly recommend their new White Grape Slush. It reminds me the Grape Sac Sac drink from the Asian market (IYKYK).

    Kung Fu Tea Vibe

    I consider myself a "virgin--first timer" when it comes to the Bubble Tea thing. I heard about it often and was curious to see what the hype was all about. Welp, I can honestly say this place has made me a believer in drinking tea.....in a form other than just hot water and a tea bag in a cup. Kung Fu Tea puts a really cool spin on drinking tea and something I thought I would never enjoy....tea with milk!! I used to think that the combination was so disgusting and why waste an already perfectly, flavorful good tea with milk!? Well, I definitely stand corrected. Thanks to Kung Fu Tea, it's now my new go to tea choice when out and about running around the city. Their signature drink which is the KF (Kung Fu) Milk Tea...go figure...is my favorite. It is a smooth blend of non-diary milk, oolong, jasmine and black tea with chewy, black boba (tapioca) balls...hence the name bubble tea.... that has a unique bold taste -- that's not too sweet and not too strong/bitter....and sweeten just right. For those that are not into the milk tea thing, no worries...this place got you covered with an assortment of classic black & green teas, fruit flavored tea drinks, slushy iced drinks, coffee & lattes and to round it all out....milk & yogurt tea drinks. I counted out all the possible options...and I think I stopped somewhere around over 50+ options. I will admit when I first walked in, I was overwhelmed. There was a lot going on behind the counter and a lot of options to choose from. But, thanks to the cashier....the process became simple. You basically walk in: 1) Choose your Cup Size 2) Choose your Sugar Level 3) Pick a Flavor from a Menu of Many Options You can also create your own drink or customize one of the many options with toppings (like bubbles, fruits, or puddings). This option is clearly for the more "experienced" bubble tea drinkers. I'm still a newbie in the sense. So far, I have only tried the KF Tea and the Strawberry Lemonade Green Tea....and I can attest that they are both really good! With spring/summer around the corner, I am sure I will be making many more stops to this place to try some of the more non-conventional, exotic flavors...like the Taro Slush or Mung Bean or Pomelo Fruit Tea! I will be back for sure!

    Classic KFT, located on the first floor of Ellsworth. Been here a couple times, but the most recent time was a bit mixed. First, the place was pretty gross, with leftover food all over the ground and tables not wiped down. The games were dirty and broken, with pieces missing. Tea was good as usual, but it did take a while to come out, longer than usual. 3/5 for the experience, 4/5 for the tea

    Amazing! I've never been to a tea business like this 1 that prepares the tea on the spot w so many variations from cold small, cold medium, hot, w and w/o milk/ fruit flavor, additives, etc. I ordered the Honey Green Tea and it wad fantastic! The menu has so many options that or can be overwhelming. I am definitely looking forward to returning back to this business (hopefully closer location) asap!

    Highly disappointed. This is full of complete milk and no brown sugar at all. The kids working here don't know what they are doing .

    Horrible experience. The children making the drinks forgot to add brown sugar to my drink and filled my cup with complete milk. Never going back to this location.

When we arrived, there were a few spaces available in their small parking lot, so we had no trouble parking. The shop is charming. They sell a few select beers and wines so it was fun to peruse them as we waited on line to order. Their menu is on boards behind the counter and they also have paper menus, which is helpful to those of us who need glasses! The staff was super friendly and helpful since I hadn't been there before. A+ to them for offering their coffee/espresso drinks in decaf! I had a vanilla latte and it had a deep, rich flavor. One of the best I've had in the area. For food, my friend had the bagel and lox and it was huge! She had to take half home. I had the garlic Boursin eggs. It was a nice pile of delicately cooked eggs, but I wished there was more garlic Boursin flavor. Still really good. It came with salad greens in a light vinaigrette, sauteed mushrooms, and avocado. Very nice dish. They have a serve-yourself water station and, though they bring out your order to your table, you must go get your cutlery and napkins. They have a nice number of tables for a small place and we were lucky to snag one. Overall, a really nice experience and I plan to go back with my husband next time.

The avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg topped with Japanese black sesame seeds is my go-to order, and the sandwiches are consistently good. Their cocktails are excellent, and the bar side makes a great venue for private parties or larger gatherings.

All manner of alternative "milks" are available as are a pretty decent selection of local beers in their cooler if you are grabbing take out. Be prepared for a wait on weekends--this is one of Takoma Park's most popular brunch destinations. Like many cafés these days, it's a favorite of laptop-wielding remote workers, so tables can be at a premium. In my experience, though, solo diners are often gracious about moving to the communal table when they notice [or more likely are asked polietly if they wouldn't mind moving] a larger group waiting. It's just one more example of the friendly neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back.

The first bite was a bit of a shock to the system. It's one of those rare "Ratatouille moments" where a flavor profile manages to bridge the gap between Maryland and the legendary sponge cakes of Phoenix Bakery in LA. It's a bit of a trick, really--making something taste like a childhood memory without being cloying about it. The Breakdown: * The Sponge: It's exceptionally light. Biting into it is less like eating a dense dessert and more like biting into a sweetened, high-end pillow. It's airy, delicate, and possesses the kind of structural integrity that only a professional (or a wizard) could manage. * The Icing: A triumph of restraint. Instead of the usual sugary plaster one finds elsewhere, this is a light, white cream. It's sweet enough to let you know it's there, but it doesn't try to dominate the conversation. It's icing with a bit of dignity. * The Verdict: This is how cake ought to be. It's exquisite, technically brilliant, and far too easy to eat in a single sitting. If you appreciate a dessert that relies on craft rather than a massive dose of corn syrup, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's a legit bit of baking excellence right here in Silver Spring

I got the ube twist and melon pan. The ube twist was really delicious -- I'd highly recommend it. The melon pan was disappointing; I expect a crunchy cookie crust on melon pan and this one was sticky and soft. The bread itself was super plush and soft and amazing, so it would be great if they could improve upon it with a crunchier cookie crust. The bread items were $3-4 each, so not the cheapest, but I was happy to support a local Asian bakery.
