Had the privilege of spending a very lovely morning here! I was just planning on killing a little time, maybe getting a light drink, but this place has a special type of charm that really invites you in. I'm not big on coffee shop beverages, but their food menu really sparked my curiosity. They had some bao bun variations on special that I absolutely needed to try. They asked that I find a seat while they prepared the food. I loved each of them so much, they were all very different from each other, but so beautifully and thoughtfully crafted. As I waited for the food, I got to soak up the ambiance, which was just as memorable and wonderful as the food. I loved the different vibes of each floor: all tranquil but still distinct. I got to people watch a couple on their first date, a father and son reunion, and a setup for a tea party. All in an enchanting atmosphere as I enjoyed my bao! Definitely try this place if you are in the area! You are sure to fall in love as I did. read more

Kung Brew was the perfect place to hang out at when I had an hour to kill in Covington. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They suggested I check out the second floor which was an inviting area to settle in and read. I got a mocha latte which was really good, not too sweet. Covington is such a cute area and this coffee shop fits in perfectly! I'll be back for sure! read more

Friend picked this place to meet up. GPS guided me directly to the back of the store, and i was able to find a parking spot there which is super. Walk into the place in the afternoon around 1:30, not many people there, 2 table downstairs and one table customer upstairs. The decoration is quite Asian and they even have a unique tea irregular tea table on the 2nd floor for kungfu tea! I'm impressed. I ordered their Dong Ding tea while friend got their mocha tea. She loves it! Though they claim they didn't add additional sugar but i guess the cream has sugar in it. I love my oolong tea! Taste like a real deal and the price is very reasonable! Even comparable to Shanghai China! We were there till almost 4 pm, and the staff comes to us asking whether we want some banana cake, as if not, she is going to throw it away. We happily took one for each from her, I'm grateful as i start to feel hungry. Love this place, definitely will come here again if I'm around the area. read more

KungBrew - Banana Pudding Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Covington, Kentucky

This place is such a hidden gem! The moment I walked in, I felt like I'd stepped into a tranquil corner of Asia; warm wood tones, minimalist decor, soft music, and beautiful tea sets that make you want to slow down and savor the moment. The whole aesthetic is calm, intentional, and absolutely Instagram-worthy (but in the best, most authentic way). I ordered a pot of their loose-leaf Parvati's Happiness and got to enjoy it with a tea pet! Such a fun and meditative experience; watching the tea pour over the tiny ceramic figure felt both playful and peaceful. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the craft of tea; they walk you through the ritual without being pretentious. Food-wise, the miso sesame vegan bagel sandwich blew me away. The cashew chili oil cream cheese was next-level; creamy, a little spicy, and perfectly balanced with the nutty miso sesame flavor. It's one of those dishes that makes you forget it's vegan because it's just that satisfying. Customer service was wonderful too; friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. If you're into mindful tea experiences, beautiful spaces, and creative plant-based food, this spot is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more! read more

Best breakfast sandwich I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly! The flavors are so unique. I paired my sandwich with a banana pudding iced matcha which was also out of this world. It's clear that everyone on staff cares a lot about what the do. There's many great places to enjoy your meal and cozy up with a good book here. Must visit cafe in Covington! read more

Conclusion: Kungbrew Café is a unique little coffee shop in Covington Ky. It has an interesting setup, with seating on three different floors of the building. Looks as if it was an old house at one point. They have preffesional grade coffee, and a large selction of Tea. Great place to go do some studying or hang out with a few friends. Larger groups, (more than 5) might be a little challenging due to the table setup. Check out the full review on our Instagram or TikTok @hunting_coffee read more

I was pleasantly surprised when they brought our tea up to the second floor. Visually the setup for tea was impressive and it tasted amazing. Beautifully decorated in old Asian art, the floor seating tied the experience together. More floor seating would be amazing though, they are taken pretty quickly. I had stopped in before and grabbed drinks to go, but that was my first time sitting in. This place is really a gem. I won't be gatekeeping but man do I want to. read more

I wandered in here to kill some time and I'm really glad I did. The space is cute and has some really interesting decor. Service was friendly and fast. They have some unique latte options available including lavender, which is a favorite of mine, and it was made well. I don't get to the area often but I would be happy to stop back in. read more

Very cute setup in an old house. Chicken bao took a while to come out but was tasty, with nice flavors inside though a bit slimier of an outside than I'm used to for bao. The seasonal sesame hojicha was a bit too much for one drink--the black sesame, while delicious, overpowered the actual tea in the drink. read more

This coffee shop is one of my favorites! I come here all the time to work away from home. The vibe is unlike any other cafe! The workers are SO kind, friendly, and helpful. I love the brown sugar shaken espresso and the white rabbit. The tea service is what they are known for so I need to try that soon! read more

Newly opened unique gem hidden in the heart of Mainstrausse, Covington, Kentucky. Kungbrew is filled with historical artifacts displaying the colorful, rich history of the ancient Chinese culture. Walking through the main floor and second floor, it felt like an art gallery taking you back in time. The staff were all so friendly and you can feel their energy as you walk through the door. My latte was on point. Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try their bubble tea! read more

KungBrew is an amazing tea shop and cafe. I've been about 5-6 times now in the past month, and each time has been an amazing experience. I'm someone who absolutely loves tea and has a large collection of it-- the tea at KungBrew is the best I've ever had and without a doubt the best in the region, if not anywhere in the state. 5+ friends of mine who've had the tea services with me have reaffirmed this. The owners and staff at KungBrew are incredibly kind, walking you through the tea service and showing you how to properly prepare everything. The owner even offered a free tea service to my friends and I to our surprise one day, which was something I've never experienced before. It's even more special considering the stunning decor inside, I mean you won't find another place like it anywhere. The prices are great too-- a set of tea is $4 and a matcha latte is under $5, both of which are absolutely phenomenal prices for the quality. Coffee prices are also on par with/are lower than with other specialty shops in the area. The value is phenomenal! KB is a truly unique and intentional space that I really hope is here to stay. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a new experience in NKY! read more

I do not know how to properly emphasize how kind and hospitable the team behind KungBrew is. We came in around 2:00, and they were out of Boba (it's all house made). At 4:00, we were offered a free sample by the manager to make up for the experience. The eclectic and calming vibes of the cafe itself is a great place to get work done (my favorite spot is by the windows!) Everything about this place screams inviting. This might be my all time favorite coffee shop in the tristate area. And that's saying something. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem, couldn't believe it was their opening weekend! What luck! Had their white rabbit latte, fantastic, but was blown away at all their tea options.

Stopped here over the weekend. There was nothing really special about this place. It lacked a "coffee shop" ambiance. The matcha latte I got was very milky and sub par. Service was nothing special. It's one of very few coffee spots in Covington so honestly only positive. It was also pretty expensive for what it was. read more
