    Bubble tea was good. The place is pretty small and the business seems to still be unpacking - still boxes on the floor. Some of the seats were ripped and looked pretty old. Large menu selection and if you're not hoping to sit there and hang out, then definitely try it out for the tea. Atmosphere/seating isn't great if you are looking for a place to hang out for a while or work on laptop or something.

    Always fast and good. I love getting their brown sugar Ginger tea when my throat is feeling sick, always makes me feel better. I prefer their bubbles to most other brands since their bubbles are never too chewy and have their own flavor.

    Fun but crowded space with just a few tables and plenty of customers. Service is fast and friendly and the tea is nice. Kung Fu Tea always looked full of students so I went in to see why it's so popular; had the coconut milk tea and it's definitely good. If you don't mind crowds, check this place out.

    Tastes great, long waiting. Better order online and pick up.

    I visited this place five years ago, it converted me into a milk tea lover. I came here on June 13th, 2020 and it still has the same taste as five years before.

    The bubble tea is consistently very good. They have all the options you would expect from a Kung Fu Tea, and you can customize sugar and ice levels to your liking. I recommend a Thai Milk tea, especially if you like Thai iced tea. Unfortunately, they have a $7 credit/debit card minimum so if you don’t have cash, go with a friend or get two teas and save one for later.

    Love their honey tea! You can adjust sugar level and ice level which I love! Personally I don't like the herbal jelly and I just get regular bobba but husband loves it. They are not powdered bubble tea like Panda tea house, but in exchange they are more expensive than Panda tea house. They don't open regularly when Cornell is not in season tho. Also hard to find parking since it's street parking. They don't accept card unless it's above $8? $9? So bring cash if you are just ordering one.

    KFT is always good. Definitely a chain and pretty average, but its a safe option and the boba is never bad.

  • 4/5 Kevin Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very consistent quality bubble tea. Basically the same as every other Kung fu tea in the northeast. They seem to put a lot of sugar in their drinks so I recommend 75% or 50% sugar level instead. Love the Taro Milk Tea and their Yakult series! Tip: ordering ahead on the app is a lot more convenient.

    Exactly what you would expect. It's the starbucks of the bubble tea world. Consistent.

  • 5/5 Daniel Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Surprisingly very good. Improved in quality quite a bit over the last few years.

  • 5/5 Mary 5 months ago on Google
    Given it's a chain, KFT has consistently good flavors (especially for those with a sweet tooth). This location recently reorganized their layout so there is more seating space, but during peak times can feel quite crowded. Mobile orders are very convenient and orders are generally made quite quickly unless it is during peak hours.

  • 5/5 Anthea C. 6 months ago on Google
    My absolute favorite boba chain! Menu is easy to understand, you can customize the sugar level and the amount of boba in your drink. The rose hip milk tea is my all time favorite drink ever. The location is very convenient to many restaurants right outside Cornell University. The staff here are always nice and they're very efficient. Check hours ahead of time because sometimes this shop closes during the school off season. But I come here every time I'm in Ithaca and if I'm in a different town I seek out kung fu tea.

    Awesome little place with a big menu! I got the matcha tea with a milk cap and it was amazing! Super delicious, had a great time, there is limited inside seating and as with most college town store fronts it is a little tight inside. Boba was super good though with reasonable prices!

    Delicious Tea and Slush drinks, but the service is a little on the lacking side. Other's drinks were sitting on the counter before the order taker took charge in finding them.
