The upstairs bathroom  I've never seen such a cute little sink!
Kim S.

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!

Loved this cute little spot in Covington! Had been seeing it on social media and had to check it off our coffee bucket list. Really loved their brown sugar shaken espresso. Want to go back for their seasonal strawberry cold foam. Also great service & vibes & the people were awesome for 7 am on a Saturday

I love Kung Brew ! Unique food options and great seasonal drinks. I always recommend Kung Brew for matcha lovers because they know how to do it right!

Sesame Miso bagel sandwich (vegan)
Brooke M.

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!

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.

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

What a hidden gem! Absolutely obsessed with this place and vibe. They have one of the best matcha's i've had in the Cincinnati area!! They make the matcha correctly, sifting and whisking and wow, what a treat! The owner was so sweet and the service was amazing. Will definitely be back :)

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.

Sandy E.

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!

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!

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.

White rabbit latte! Seasonal option
Erik A.

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. The decorations were really amazing, I had to snap a quick pic of this full wall mural! A great spot to enjoy a gorgeous day out. Highly recommend.

Traditional floor seating - no shoes!

This market is amazing! A work friend told me about it so my son and I rented a motel room for two…read morenights. Yes the store is that big! They also have an area in the parking lot for RVs if you want to spend the time to see the whole store. They have foods from all over the world at great prices. They have fruits and vegetables that I've never heard of, meats included alligator, kangaroo, bison, ostrich and many many more! They have whole section of cheeses , beer, wine, tobacco etc and you can get a drink and take with you while you shop. Next time I go I am going to have to stay longer just to see everything. They also have some cool things in the store. What looks to be porta potties opens up to a full size restrooms, a fire truck I. The hot sauce section and many other neat things. I highly recommend that you check it out

On a recent trip to the Cincinnati area to visit with family, we made the stop at Jungle Jim's on…read morethe first afternoon were were in town, which was on a Saturday in September. Jungle Jim's International Market is truly unlike any store I have ever been. It is hard to describe, but it is a grocery store, international market, restaurant, bar, and more, but all on steroids. They even have their own podcast! There are so many sections and areas in this store, that if you truly took your time to shop, it would probably take an entire day to see and experience it all. It is a must-stop if you are visiting Cincinnati, or are local to the area and have never been. There are two locations of this business, but we visited the Eastgate one this time. It specifically is located on Eastgate S Drive, in a strip with a few other businesses on each end. This is in the heart of the business district for the area, so it is not hard to locate and navigate to. The signage on the front facade is huge, colorful, and distinct. There is even a tram-type vehicle suspended above the street, so you will not miss it. Since this is in a business-heavy area, there is a ton of parking all around. We visited on a Saturday, and the parking lot out front was quite busy, but we still had no issue finding a spot just a minute or two walk away from the entrance. Once you walk in, that is when the fun begins. There is so much going on throughout the entire store, but in a good way. Similarly to a typical grocery store, there are different departments and areas for different items. However, the size of everything here is so much more grand. Each section could truly be its own store, given both the footprint and the variety of items available for purchase. This goes for both the "normal" grocery areas, as well as the international and specialty items. Not only is the variety of items available impressive, but the manner in which they are displayed is also very appealing. Each area is decorated with large displays and signage that hang from the ceiling, giving the whole place a whimsical and fun atmosphere. It is fun to not only shop the products, but see what kind of decor and sculptures will find you in the next area. I loved the beehive with rotating bees in the honey section! In addition to grocery and other food items, there are sections with cookwares, beer/wine/alcohol, cigars, clothing, pet items, seasonal items, and much more. I am sure you could do your regular grocery trip here, but it might take you a little longer due to both the size of the store and desire to peruse all of the different items they have! Another fun aspect of Jungle Jim's is the variety of dining options. There are several places to purchase prepared foods, most of them being around the bar area. There is also a Sushi section near the main entrance. The full-service bar offers different tastings, weekly specials, alcoholic slushies, and much more. We took some time to enjoy a brew during our visit. It was fun to walk around and shop while enjoying some beer. The store has different areas and stations for tastings, samples, demos, and events. They have an entire calendar on the website that outlines some of the various tastings and events they have monthly. Some of my favorite sections in the store were the Bakery and the Sauce/Spice area. The Bakery has many different fun and unique items that they make themselves. There are also different vendors and other local businesses featured not only in the bakery, but throughout the store. As far as the Sauce section, I truly have never seen so much hot sauce variety in my life. It is really fun to look around here and find something that you did not even know existed. The service here was very good overall. There are a lot of employees, and everyone we interacted with was helpful. Tons of checkout lines were open, and we did not have to wait super long to make our purchases. The bar had a slightly long line, but it was not terrible. There are some good values to be found here, if you look in the right places. I would definitely look at both the weekly ad and signage around to find some good deals. On our visit, I found some energy drinks for about $1 a can, which is a very good price. Some things will be more expensive, given that it is an international market, but overall I thought the pricing was fair for most items. This is a must if you are in Cincinnati for any length of time. Definitely budget a few hours if you want to look around and see all the store has to offer. I would advise grabbing a cart and your walking shoes, because the store is very large. I always love coming here and checking out the selection, even if I am not necessarily hunting for anything specific. This place is great for anyone, as there will be something you will enjoy or want to try here. Plus, they are a locally-owned business supporting other locally-owned businesses. Highly recommend stopping at Jungle Jim's!

It's a small restaurant filled with cute toys, plushies, figures, etc available for purchase. Parking is street parking around campus and can be difficult to find. There are some neighborhood side streets that you can find and walk over. We got a few dishes to try and they were all fantastic! I really liked the Curry Laksa, Nasi Lemak, and the Hong Kong chicken was crispy and seasoned very well. They offer so many different dishes and options and they're all made well. Their prices are affordable and their portions are quite big. I recommend trying dishes from each category, you can't go wrong. We also got a couple bobas and I get my usual, durian milk tea. They're one of the only places I know that has this flavor option and they make it well. Overall, the quality of food is great and tastes delicious. Staff is super nice, kind, and patient. We took a little bit longer to order but our server was so nice. Our server recommended a few dishes and we got a couple and those were fantastic! I would recommend this place for a casual date, small group, authentic dishes, and delicious boba. Overall, a very comfy, warm, and welcoming place for delicious food and I recommend it.

I feel that this price was definitely worth the food and the atmosphere. Service is very quick, they bring a large bottle of water to the table so you don't run out as quickly. There are only 4 tables in the restaurant, so try to make a reservation online. Also, there is so much cute stuff to buy! Sanrio, anime, kpop and more. There was also a Kdrama playing on the big tv! I can't wait to come back here :)

The service was good , the worker was nice enough and she made the drinks as well as working as a cashier so you got to appreciate that.

Their menu is not for the milk tea lover tho or the authentic bubble tea lover but if you love the fruit tea then this place is a gem! I got the earl grey black tea with pineapple and dragon fruit syrup and passion fruit popping bubbles - it was delicious not overly sweet and I liked how I could taste the notes of the black tea.

I waited at a small cafe table on the sidewalk, and minutes later left with my tea. It was fabulous! Street parking. Service was efficient. Order at window (no indoor customer space). There are 1 or 2 other businesses nearby but most likely you'd be grabbing your tea and carrying on with your day. The Hurry Curry window 2 doors down looks intriguing though....another day!
