Kung Fu Tea

I stopped by Town Center Cold Pressed in Ghent around 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon, about 30…read moreminutes before closing. I honestly only walked in because I wanted to check the place out and had no real plans to order anything, but I'm glad I did! First, the space itself is really cool. It has a darker, industrial feel with wood accents that fits right in with the Ghent vibe. It's a nice little spot with a lot of character. Makayla was working the counter and was an absolute pleasure. She made some recommendations, and I decided on a lavender matcha with their house-made pistachio milk. Somewhere between us chatting and having a genuinely good conversation, neither of us was paying attention to what she was making and I ended up walking out with an iced lavender pistachio latte with espresso instead of matcha. I took a sip outside and immediately thought, "Wait a minute...this is NOT matcha." I went back in and told Makayla, and she immediately realized what happened, apologized, and remade it correctly. No big deal whatsoever, especially considering I literally stood there and watched her make the first drink and didn't notice either because we were too busy talking! She also offered to let me keep the latte since it would have just been thrown away otherwise, so I ended up getting to try both. And that pistachio milk?! They make it in-house, and it is SO good. It has this really interesting nutty, almost umami flavor that I loved. Both drinks were delicious flavor-wise, although they were definitely much sweeter than I personally prefer. Next time I'll just ask for significantly less sweetener. For these, I'll probably blend them with some ice at home to mellow out the sweetness and turn them into frozen drinks. Overall, this was such a random, serendipitous little stop that turned into a really enjoyable experience. Great atmosphere, delicious drinks, and Makayla was incredibly pleasant, relatable, and fun to talk to. I'll absolutely be back, especially for that pistachio milk!

Cold Pressed - Norfolk International Airport (ORF) Visited:…read moreApril 2026 Stopped in while killing time at the Norfolk airport and decided to try one of their juices. I ordered a 10 oz drink for $7.99, which honestly feels a bit steep for the size--especially for something you finish in a few minutes. That said, the juice itself was actually very good. Fresh, clean flavors, and it tasted like quality ingredients were used. No complaints at all on the product--just the value. Overall, it's a solid option if you're looking for something healthier than typical airport food, but be prepared to pay airport pricing. Good juice, tough price point.

Updating my previous review bc I just had a really bad experience here…read more I ordered my usual - the Green Cheesecake Smoothie. Had my daughter so had to run right outside to my car for her milk and came back to wait. Saw the owner giving the pineapple on a stick to the two girls in front of me with their smoothies. Two people walked up and were standing in line and she gave them two while they looked. When my smoothie came up, no pineapple. I asked the male behind the counter and he was extremely rude to me and said they're $1.78 each and I said "Oh, I thought you gave them with the smoothies" pointing to the two people IN LINE who had not ordered yet. He was really rude and almost aggressive about it and said "NO - $1.78". I've never had this experience here. I've ordered dozens of smoothies here and this is a first. They're $12 a smoothie so - probably going to skip it since I felt singled out and when I innocently asked about it I got my head bit off. No thanks.

It's kind of off by itself in the mall, I almost didn't even see the place, but it's a quiet little area and the staff are friendly. They have a lot of options so it was actually a little hard for me to choose just one thing. I decided to try the Oreo smoothie (10/10) it was really delicious and yummy. There also wasn't too long of a wait time either for my drink which was nice. They also give customers pineapple on a stick with your order; however, I can't eat pineapple so I couldn't have mine :( Def going to return because there were so many other drinks that sounded delicious that I want to try. I also noticed what looked like food options on the menu as well so I'll check those out in the future too. My overall rate of experience : 10/10

I've gotten a smoothie here only twice and it was the Sweet Greens (mango, pineapple, banana, spinach and kale) both times. I get this simply because it has the greens nah mean? The smoothie was not bad, tasted a little too sugary for me but it was bearable. They also have a fridge with others drinks and some snacks like cliff bars and chips. I think it's pretty cool that ODU planted a JuiceBar in the gym. It's pretty convenient for students and dem gym rats to grab a protein shake or something fueling before or after their workout. At least we know that this school promotes healthy eating (healthy snacking rather). There's not much good or bad I can say but definitely skip the Tropical Smoothie on campus and walk to the JuiceBar. It's worth the walk..

Wow! Another Kung Fu Tea in the Hampton area! I just love how there are so many new bubble tea options that are popping up around the area (Tapioca Go, Boba Bola, etc.) but my heart will stay true to the one that got me hooked to bubble tea here in the first place! Walking in, I am already loving the spacious, more lounge like, and the beautiful wall art design that this establishment has. They have all these cute pop figures that are on the bar area that are totally Instagram worthy! The service and drink itself are without a doubt what I come to expect from any good Kung Fu Tea stores, and they even have an espresso section that aren't available in all KFT stores! I was recommended the Iced Coffee with Milk Cap and bubble as the topping, and it was truly amazing! They also have this new Cocoa Cream Wow drink that I have to try next time, seeing that my name is basically part of the drink :P Overall very satisfied with the experience, all I can say is Kung Fu Tea in the Hampton area truly cannot disappoint! read more

When they opened a location in our neck of the woods, we made it a tradition to order twice a month. Let's see how the previous year went. Just like many times, we would head to Whale Tea to place orders at their kiosk once you walked in. The staff knows us pretty well and greets us with a smile and welcome. The orders wouldn't take too long to be made even if there were a few people ahead of us. And they would say thank you every time we would leave. Just a relaxed place making sure customers were like family. The products came out pretty well as always. From the fresh milks to Creme Brulees to their Dalgona selections, I rarely left out disappointed. I'm glad for them to introduce new items here which brings out more customers. Do keep it up. Whale Tea will continue to be a valuable option for the both of us. Much needed desserts to end the day well. Till next time :)
