    Im leaving a 3 star review just because the young girl that took my order was not friendly and was not helpful. Their customer service needs improvement. I order a black tea with limón. My drink was basic and ok. I'm not coming back to this place.

    Sometimes a cold drink just makes sense for a cold type of day? I do not think that any of the Kung Fu Tea shops have ever disappointed when it comes to the texture and taste of the boba. There is that nice, sweet taste, in addition to the perfect consistency. This location is a little odd with not as much parking, however, it is conveniently located in an area close to the college. The workers were professional and made the drinks without any delay. I always find it wholesome when restaurants or businesses decorate their building according to the season and/or holidays. Highly recommend ordering on the app for drinks ahead of time so you do not have to wait for the times where it may be a busier day. Also, there are deals so sometimes it is nice to wait until you are in person to see if there are exclusive flavors that are not yet posted on the app.

    Best boba place in San Marcos- customizable, always updating their menu, fast service.

    Walked in and was the only customer, the cashier greeted me right away and was very attentive. I had questions regarding some drinks on the menu and they patiently explained everything to me. I appreciate the great customer service! I ordered the Oreo wow with boba and it was amazing! I had to hold myself back from finishing it in one gulp. I will definitely be back!

    Headed out with my bounty of Honey milk tea with boba and milk cap.
    Lori R.

    By far my favorite boba in San Diego county. The honey boba is pure perfection. I love the milk cap to add to my oolong milk tea and it makes a perfect drink. The location is conveniently off the 78 and tucked in a big shopping area. I never have issues parking either. The staff is friendly and the pacing of orders is quick. Overall a perfect boba stop.

    Taro milk tea and matcha cream mango on the sideeee yum

    My favorite place to get boba from ever. Bradey was so kind and helpful for my friend's first time there. Give this guy a raise he's phenomenal. Taro milk tea is so yumm

    KF Milk Tea
    Ninna Alessandra Arcena A.

    I've had kung fu tea in the past but this was probably the worst drink they've ever made. It has an after taste of tap water or watered down yakult. We asked for "less ice", but there was no ice at all and the drink wasn't cold. On top of that, the boba was hard and tasted old. Otherwise, the staff was really friendly and the location itself was nice and clean. No hate on the employees, but I was pretty disappointed considering how simple my drink was.

    Accessibility: there is only one or two disabled parking spots across from the side of the building, then you have to cross the road (which could be dangerous as this is a very busy area) to get onto the ramp up to the building. The rest of the parking is also extremely limited; I wish they had more parking. They do have seating inside and outside with wheelchair accessible tables and moveable chairs. It is very well lit inside at night. The parking lot does have some light at night, but not a ton. Experience: they weren't super busy on a Thursday night which was great for me! Upon walking inside it was super cute and the girl working behind the counter was very kind and welcoming! I order a large Rosehip Lemonade with aloe in it, and my girlfriend ordered a latte and a tea. My large Rosehip Lemonade only cost a little over six dollars, and my girlfriend's two drinks were just over ten dollars! How incredible! The teas we got were both very sweet but very good. I will definitely be coming back!

    Oreo Slush
    Nia L.

    The boba pearls were extremely firm in the middle and it truly upset my stomach. I ordered an Oreo Slush with boba (medium), and most of the slush part was good. For some reason, the top crumbly layer of said drink just didn't settle nicely well with me. Service was friendly otherwise.

    Chai milk tea, honey tea with boba
    Denisse R.

    I've had a recent craving for boba. Let me tell you how excited I was to find out that this yummy boba place was not too far from my home. The fact that I didn't have to drive down to Kearny Mesa for proper boba was so exciting. The staff here is so friendly and helpful when deciding what kind of drink to get from their extensive menu. I've visited twice since I discovered them two weeks ago. The honey tea I ordered on my last trip was so delicious! I love that you can adjust the sweetness level as well as the ice amounts. Everyone else I ordered drinks for loved them as well. Come check them out if you haven't already!

    Kung Fu Tea is a bubble tea chain that I've seen in many different towns. It's by far the one I've seen the most locations of. That always would somewhat frustrate me as a bubble tea fanatic because I just could not find a drink on their menu that grabbed me like my favorite drinks at my regular bubble tea shops. Heck, one of the locations where I'm from even has a drive through. How nice would that be as a bubble tea fan? Things finally changed on this visit to San Marcos. It turns out that I love their Oreo slush. They describe it as an "icy blend of Hershey's chocolate syrup, milk, vanilla syrup, and crushed Oreos". Yes please and expect me to get one anytime I am near a Kung Fu Tea.

The shop is in a convenient shopping center with plenty of parking, which is always a plus. It's a small, cozy spot with a really cute setup. Each time I've gone, it's been the same person working, and he's always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes a big difference. I've tried a few different coffee drinks, and every single one has been delicious although the Mazapan Latte is my absolute favorite! Definitely a must try. The combination of great service and consistently amazing coffee is exactly why I keep coming back. Definitely worth checking out and making the drive since I'm in Carlsbad.

I can live with new cups/branding. A huge change to me is the boba. Boba texture and flavor is important to me. It's been very different... Not the same texture I've come to know and love.
