There should be a clear designated pickup section tho because people are just standing in front on the register blocking the path when I went in to pick up. I felt like I was cutting in front of someone about to place an order only to find out they were just standing in the way the entire time. Tried out the new strawberries and creme jasmine drink and I'd prefer to do regular sweetness as compared to the recommended less sweet. The drink itself was kinda bland and lacking in sweetness when I ordered the recommended sweetness. The jasmine tea was bland. I did my best to mix in the strawberry cloud and it kinda saved the drink a bit. It was a refreshing strawberries and cream like drink with a hint of jasmine.

Ooooof. Sickly sweet and mid. The only redeeming bit of the drink was that the boba was freshly…read moremade but that must have been luck. The service was perfunctory. Although the menu picture on the stand looks ok, after having the drink it feels like false advertising. Sad to report it's not worth the trouble trying.

Representing 2020 in alphabet series, K is for Kokee Tea. I first had Kokee Tea at Fair Oaks Mall…read moreof all places a few years earlier and remembered it was way better than Kung Fu Tea. I had it a couple of times in Wheaton Mall when I lived in Wheaton. One of the times that was noteworthy was in January 2020. I was in the office that morning in Columbia, and my girlfriend of that time had called or texted saying that she was really sick, she was struggling breathing, and to take her to the doctor. I'm like I'm at work, but I have Montgomery County (Rockville) work travel I happened to be able to do this afternoon. So, I can swing by Wheaton to pick her up to go to an urgent care by the mall. I waited with her at urgent care. The doctor gave her pills or something and commented that it's been a particularly bad winter with bad colds that have come in. Afterward, we went to the mall to get a bubble tea at Kokee Tea & maybe eat lunch too in the mall. We enjoyed the Kokee Tea. Staff is nice & efficient, prices are comparable to Kung Fu Tea, but better quality in my opinion. We didn't realize it at the time, my girlfriend likely had Covid, which wasn't diagnosed in the US until late February 2020. Her work was interesting. In early January, they had people who had work travel in the office from China. Her work was furloughed not long after that. Then, she had symptoms of Covid not long after that. Anyway, it was an interesting time. If in Wheaton Mall, I'd be back at Kokee.

My family and I are Boba Tea fans and we happened to be in the area and decided to check this spot…read moreout. We ordered 4 drinks and it seemed to take a while, which was interesting since there was only one other customer in the shop. My wife got the basic milk tea, I got a match milk tea and our daughters (8 & 10) got the Taro smoothie and a Banana flavored milk. After two or three sips we all came to the same conclusion that our drinks were not very good. They all tasted somewhat watered down. My daughters did not even drink theirs. The inside of the shop was nice and the staff was friendly but when the drinks are not good, there is no reason to go back. Definitely would not recommend.

They took over the "King Pollo" restaurant so the sign was still outside. However, the Kung Fu Tea sign was shown throughout the exterior window. Glad I saw the open sign so I know it was open. Finally, another bubble tea option in the Wheaton area. This spot is located in the same shopping center as H-mart and a great way to grab a drink after doing your errands. There are a few tables inside where you can sit while consuming your drinks. The place inside is fairly large. The staff here are very friendly and looks very clean. They serve the same drinks as other KFT locations which is great. Highly recommend their milk teas and their smoothies. They also serve cold and hot drinks. Looking forward to visiting this spot again. Great addition to the Wheaton area!!

Came here for the first time on a weekend with my husband and another couple of friends. We…read moreordered their milk tea with bubbles and my husband ordered a fruit slush with red beans. What's hot - Location. Conveniently located in a plaza with an Hmart, other shops and restaurants. That also means there's parking. - Indoor seating. There is an indoor seating area with a decent number of tables and chairs, which is helpful, especially if you're eating. - Menu includes food. Most Kung Fu Tea locations I've been to don't offer food, but this location does, including dim sum, noodles, and poke bowls. Nice to have. - Price. For two drinks (one large and one medium), we paid approximately less than $20, so not bad. However, read below... What's not - Bubbles/tapioca is too sweet. I asked for my bubble tea to not be sweet, but that's not what I got. Rather, there was syrup at the bottom of my cup and the bubbles are already very sweet. That tells me they boil their tapioca in sugar water, which I'm not a fan of. One of our friends had to go back and ask them to remake her drink, because it was too sweet. Because they boil their tapioca in sugar water, my friend also asked them to use herbal jelly, rather than tapioca pearls in her new drink. As such, the quality of their drinks is lacking. Price for value isn't a good trade off. - Full menu isn't available. Their full drinks menu isn't available. Rather, you have to scan their QR code to access their full menu. - Ambient noise. They play loud music inside. While it's cool to listen to music to jam to, if it's too loud, it's difficult to have a conversation with whoever you're with. Not to mention, at some point, it can get to a point where it's too loud and hurts your ears. - Food menu. Given that the quality of their bubble tea is lacking, which is their staple feature, it makes me hesitant to try the other foods on their menu, because I question their quality. Final Answer Not on my list of bubble tea places to return to.

Overall: Cuppa Tea was a hit for me in both boba and egg waffle, definitely give both a try!…read more Food: The drinks here were great, a clear and clean tea taste in the boba. Definitely a preference so try one before you go all in. The food itself was kind of hit or miss, but when it hit it really hit. The butter burger and fish balls were alright in my opinion. Some nostalgia, but overall nothing too fancy. The egg waffles were really cool, I got a pudding filled one, and I'm definitely a big fan. They had a lot of other options too for the egg waffle, I will be back to try others. Service: The service was average for a small shop, seems like there is only 1 person working when I got there so they were doing everything from taking orders to making the food. Depending on time of day it might take longer for your order to be ready. Ambiance: The inside was decorated well and had some fun elements near the front door. Aside from decorations the interior was pretty normal, some seating inside for groups of 4.

I also picked up some incense sticks, vermicelli, some Asian drinks including pennywort and Mr Brown coffee, preserved plums, and soy sauce. I was disappointed that no buffet style food was available and I guess they may not serve it on Sundays but hoping to try some next time I am back.

I recently picked up a small Lemon cake and a Strawberry cake from Morning My Day in Silver Spring…read more I was expecting a decent dessert; I wasn't expecting to be reminded that most other bakeries have been lying to us for years. 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

Both were taken, but fortunately for me the two guys at the one table were leaving as I was placing my order.

Then six or seven people came in to order and he got pretty crowded in that small space. I loved my purple yam pasty. It was soft and fresh.
