    The upstairs bathroom  I've never seen such a cute little sink!

    Kung Brew was the perfect place to hang out at when I had an hour to kill in Covington. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They suggested I check out the second floor which was an inviting area to settle in and read. I got a mocha latte which was really good, not too sweet. Covington is such a cute area and this coffee shop fits in perfectly! I'll be back for sure!

    Friend picked this place to meet up. GPS guided me directly to the back of the store, and i was able to find a parking spot there which is super. Walk into the place in the afternoon around 1:30, not many people there, 2 table downstairs and one table customer upstairs. The decoration is quite Asian and they even have a unique tea irregular tea table on the 2nd floor for kungfu tea! I'm impressed. I ordered their Dong Ding tea while friend got their mocha tea. She loves it! Though they claim they didn't add additional sugar but i guess the cream has sugar in it. I love my oolong tea! Taste like a real deal and the price is very reasonable! Even comparable to Shanghai China! We were there till almost 4 pm, and the staff comes to us asking whether we want some banana cake, as if not, she is going to throw it away. We happily took one for each from her, I'm grateful as i start to feel hungry. Love this place, definitely will come here again if I'm around the area.

    Conclusion: Kungbrew Café is a unique little coffee shop in Covington Ky. It has an interesting setup, with seating on three different floors of the building. Looks as if it was an old house at one point. They have preffesional grade coffee, and a large selction of Tea. Great place to go do some studying or hang out with a few friends. Larger groups, (more than 5) might be a little challenging due to the table setup. Check out the full review on our Instagram or TikTok @hunting_coffee

    What a hidden gem! Absolutely obsessed with this place and vibe. They have one of the best matcha's i've had in the Cincinnati area!! They make the matcha correctly, sifting and whisking and wow, what a treat! The owner was so sweet and the service was amazing. Will definitely be back :)

    I wandered in here to kill some time and I'm really glad I did. The space is cute and has some really interesting decor. Service was friendly and fast. They have some unique latte options available including lavender, which is a favorite of mine, and it was made well. I don't get to the area often but I would be happy to stop back in.

    Newly opened unique gem hidden in the heart of Mainstrausse, Covington, Kentucky. Kungbrew is filled with historical artifacts displaying the colorful, rich history of the ancient Chinese culture. Walking through the main floor and second floor, it felt like an art gallery taking you back in time. The staff were all so friendly and you can feel their energy as you walk through the door. My latte was on point. Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try their bubble tea!

    KungBrew is an amazing tea shop and cafe. I've been about 5-6 times now in the past month, and each time has been an amazing experience. I'm someone who absolutely loves tea and has a large collection of it-- the tea at KungBrew is the best I've ever had and without a doubt the best in the region, if not anywhere in the state. 5+ friends of mine who've had the tea services with me have reaffirmed this. The owners and staff at KungBrew are incredibly kind, walking you through the tea service and showing you how to properly prepare everything. The owner even offered a free tea service to my friends and I to our surprise one day, which was something I've never experienced before. It's even more special considering the stunning decor inside, I mean you won't find another place like it anywhere. The prices are great too-- a set of tea is $4 and a matcha latte is under $5, both of which are absolutely phenomenal prices for the quality. Coffee prices are also on par with/are lower than with other specialty shops in the area. The value is phenomenal! KB is a truly unique and intentional space that I really hope is here to stay. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a new experience in NKY!

    I do not know how to properly emphasize how kind and hospitable the team behind KungBrew is. We came in around 2:00, and they were out of Boba (it's all house made). At 4:00, we were offered a free sample by the manager to make up for the experience. The eclectic and calming vibes of the cafe itself is a great place to get work done (my favorite spot is by the windows!) Everything about this place screams inviting. This might be my all time favorite coffee shop in the tristate area. And that's saying something.

    Traditional floor seating - no shoes!

    Really nice interiors with HAND PAINTED mural walls. Antiques everywhere, and play nice music. Really like it here.

    Covington's new and much needed coffee shop. Love the service, consistent drink quality, and seasonal menu. Worth a stop!

    White rabbit latte! Seasonal option
    Erik A.

    Stumbled upon this hidden gem, couldn't believe it was their opening weekend! What luck! Had their white rabbit latte, fantastic, but was blown away at all their tea options. The decorations were really amazing, I had to snap a quick pic of this full wall mural! A great spot to enjoy a gorgeous day out. Highly recommend.

    Ambiance is a 4, very obvious it's the community place to gather. Seating is available at the bar…read morewhere there are baked goods like biscotti, mini muffins, chocolate chip cookies and banana bread are on display. Or you can be seated at a table in a large open dining area. Very community conscious with a ramp for wheelchair to get from main hostess area to the dining area. I was seated right away. Being visitor from VA Beach, I asked what's the recommended dish, the server suggested omelette. But I wasn't in the mood for omelette so I saw shakshuka. I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.

    We came in for a Saturday brunch to celebrate my uncle's birthday. The place is popular and was…read morequite busy around 1 PM, so expect a bit of a wait. The dining room is large but very loud. It was tough to have a conversation across the table. The food was a mixed bag. We enjoyed the French toast and bagels, and the mujadara had good flavor - a smidge dry. The tuna, which was supposed to be medium-rare, was overcooked and dry. The service was subpar. While a staff member (manager on call?) cleaned a table next to us, she accidentally sprayed one of us and their food with cleaning solution. We mentioned it to her and she apologized with no offer to replace the food. Our waiter was kind enough to agree to replace the food at our request. The previous staff member who sprayed us brought out the replacement food and rudely served it to us with attitude and without utensils. We had to flag another waiter down for utensils. Mistakes happen but the handling of this situation left a sour note on our celebratory brunch. We expected better service etiquette from Cafe Alma but left really disappointed. I hope management reviews how incidents like this are handled in the future.

Overall it was a bit overfilled so it was very messy and hard to eat. I could have done without the hidden coconut shavings inside. KIMCHI & EGG CROISSANT 5 I had this one for breakfast. I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy. I would have liked to see a little more mozzarella but overall it was tasty! SOBACHA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 4 Also tasty, oversized cookie. Soft and chewy texture. CINNAMON ALMOND BLUEBERRY TOAST (THURSDAY/FRIDAY ONLY) 5.25 Very good. The cinnamon filling reminded me of a brown sugar pop tart. I warmed it in my air fryer and it was perfect. Would order again. I just wish they had an espresso bar!
