    Kirby un-stirred

    I always hear people running their mouth about Kung Fu Tea and then I'll catch them at KFT getting a drink anyway. Oh wait that's also me. As a former employee (at a different location), I usually have fairly high expectations since I remember giving everything my best effort to serve the community of Charlottesville with some awesome boba. The one on State street in Madison is not bad. I've been to this KFT a number of times on different occasions and it is usually not too long of a wait. That being said, employee turnover seems to be fairly high, which makes sense for a college town, so the quality is not always consistent. The building it's in is fairly old and I can tell from the OG KFT signs that are still up in the establishment, but nothing wrong with a little nostalgia. The last time I stopped by, my girlfriend and I got a Kirby drink to share, and it was actually very good. Hopefully they keep it on the menu for good, but it sounds like it is a limited edition item. While there is certainly better boba I've had in the past in other places, but for Madison, Wisconsin, it's a nice, convenient spot for decent boba when you get the craving.

    The Kung Fu Fighters are one of my favourite bands. Their biggest hit was "Learn To Fu" but I also really love "Ever-oolong." What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, but it's usually a low 5, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha and Coco. However, they're still really good, and the fruit teas here are among the best. Especially the lemon black tea which absolutely rocks my world. If it's not on the menu, demand it! Other fruit teas (Berry, Orange, Grapefruit) must also be ordered off-menu as Black Tea instead of the meh Green. Also the Lemon Black tastes good as a Lemon Oolong, but everyone else hates it because they have bad taste. This KFT is located right in the heart of everything, and this is the perfect location for a college town Kung Fu Tea. It's on State Street alongside all of the mostly pedestrian-only thoroughfares which the college kids wander and walk and look for eats & drinks that will excite them. And nothing in town is more exciting than the delicious lemon black tea and the other amazing concoctions from this great location of KFT. Much tastier than most of the locations in Chicago and it is the best boba in the Madison area by a mile, tied with Jade Mountain, which is very different, much more local, and much more adorable. But it doesn't have anything quite as amazing as the Lemon Black Tea here. It's also better than any of the ones I tried in Milwaukee so I would regrettably say that this is the best boba in Wisconsin. The reason it is regretful is because it's a major chain - but when it's this good and everything else doesn't live up to the standards, you have to be honest. Anyway you should come over later because I'm Kung like a horse and I can Fu for Tea or Four hours.

    The boba drinks here has been the best I've found in Madison so far. The boba itself is a hit or miss sometimes. This time I ordered a Thai Tea and it tasted more of milk than tea than it usually does. My boyfriend got the passionfruit slushy, which is his favorite and it never goes wrong. Even my Thai tea drink wasn't cold enough to cool me off in this crazy heat. I should've gone for the slushy! I do like that they offer games here to keep us customers entertained, though finding a seat is hard to come by due to the very few tables that they have.

    Cute little boba shop on State Street. Not accepting walk-ins right now so all orders have to be online which normally would be fine but their app and website are not user friendly at all Menu is blank and doesn't show pictures, app sign up has several steps to it, crashes frequently and has quite glitchy. Took us about 15 minutes to order. Boba is tasty. Would recommend getting a size up as the base size is a little small. Drinks also tend to be quite sweet so scale down. Boba is a good texture and flavor. Slightly smaller than the standard but still well done. They use non dairy for my lactose intolerant friends.

    I like the wow milk the most, especially with red beans or green beans on top. The place is packed during late nights.

    The boba was great!! It was my first time going here in person, and it's a cute little spot! Employees were super patient and friendly too. :) Will def be coming here with friends!

    KF Honey Tea so gooooood!
    Tai D.

    Amazing bubble tea!! I actually didn't order a bubble tea but I tried my friend's milk tea and it was awesome! Not too sweet and the boba were soft yet chewy. I got the KF honey tea which can be ordered cold without boba. I think I'll have strong urges to have this drink again! Too bad I was just visiting Madison! It has a bright honey taste that isn't too sweet and was incredibly refreshing for the sunny fall day. I would absolutely come here again!

    My favorite yogurt green tea should be on the top 10 list!

    Authentic and delicious bubble tea has finally arrived in Madison!!! Not only can I add different toppings (like bubbles and pudding) to any beverage, I also get to customize the sugar and ice level. It is always a pleasure to visit Kungfu Tea and it gets even better with the many board (and card) games available to play at the shop. The staff members are also friendly and helpful. The only problem I have with this place is that they have too many options lol ;) Favorite beverages: YOGURT GREEN TEA with herbal jelly, yogurt grapefruit, matcha red bean slush, coffee milk tea, taro milk tea and oreo milk tea.

    Fun tea shop.  Bubble teas are thr bomb!

    See all
