    Cute interior
    Jessica N.

    I've been here a handful of times and every bubble tea I've ordered was good. Black galaxy (milk, brown sugar, and boba) was very sweet and yummy! Also tried the Japanese matcha crème brûlée. Decadent crème brûlée flavor on top of matcha bubble tea! Passion sweet orange had a slight orange taste (more of a passion fruit taste) and was very refreshing for a hot day. This place is pretty dependable for your bubble tea needs! This place is sooo cute. The decor is so personal. Every space was designed with comfort and aesthetic in mind! I love the hanging egg chairs in the corner next to the window! Super cute and comfy! There is also a cute bike with flowers on the other side. Cute hanging wall planters all along the back wall. Beautiful glass ceiling art to make you feel like you're under water with the coral reefs. String lights all over. Wonderful space to relax with some friends. Ample parking in the huge parking lot outside.

    A lot better than before when I tried years ago. Good drinks, pandan waffle and brown sugar ice cream! Check @eatinglafayette on Instagram and Facebook for more Lafayette food things!

    Make it a Kodak/IG worthy moment with your boba tea!

    RAWRRRR means I love boba tea at Tea-Rex! Boba tea has arrived in Lafayette and it's here to stay! Y'all, the invasion of boba tea has been gradually taking over Louisiana one city at a time. You can find boba tea in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Covington, Mandeville, and even Slidell! It's about time boba tea made it's way to Lafayette- just right after the arrival of ramen shops! During their soft opening week until 8/6/19, all drinks are buy one, get one 50% off. Take advantage of this special and enjoy boba tea nirvana while it lasts. Of course with any soft opening, there are little issues here and there, but despite long lines or delayed waiting times, service and quality were both still on point. I'm sure they'll be a well-oiled boba tea making machine in no time. Tea-Rex has got to be one of the most modern coffee/tea houses I've ever visited. The nice decor is definitely Instagram-worthy, so you'll be able to perfect those paparazzi skills! The interior storefront is a spacious and welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of seating. It's the cutest cafe to meet up and hang out with friends and family. I had the Tea-Rex royal milk tea (oolong milk tea with herbal jelly, egg pudding and boba), which wasn't too sweet and had a good balance of milk:tea ratio. The mango delight smoothie wasn't overly sweet and had a great flavor from the swirls of mango purée, which was refreshing with the recent unbearable heat and humidity. I can't wait for their grand opening so I can try other drinks from the menu. Woohoo to Lafayette for embracing diversity! Crawfish, boudin & cracklins will always reign supreme here but you certainly can beat the heat with boba tea! Let's get the boba tea business booming here. Do your part and jump outside the box to try something new, sweet and delicious!

    This is the place that you want when you need a quick snack or nice flavored tea. Very nice ambiance, but definitely for the younger crowd. If you want a nice refreshing drink, or a quick snack, so go here.

    Cute tea spot. Second time coming to Tea-Rex and the drinks didn't disappoint. There is something on the menu for all tastebuds.

    Look you guys. The service here is just too terrible to make up for anything else. You have been warned. We have come several times ordering multiple drinks. You'd think they appreciate a returning customer who's spending the money. Nope. Ordered 5 artichoke teas with no ice. They "forgot", put ice anyway, when they realized the messed up, they scooped the ice out....giving us cups that were only a little over halfway filled. Like what? When we approached the workers about it she just claimed they came that way. The next time we came it was the same workers. We ordered the artichoke tea no ice, they diluted it down and forgot to put syrup. Excuse me what? It did not taste the same at all nor did they even include all of the toppings it usually has. It only had one measly piece of jelly!!! I handed over the punch card and she practically threw it back!!! What is the point of being able to choose your sweetness and ice level if they just disregard you? Terrible service.

    After looking at the reviews and seeing one of my favorite yelper post a not so good review I almost didn't go but I said let me try it for myself. The establishment is beautiful to the eye, I purchased a passion sweet orange smoothie I had no idea on what to purchase so I just picked something. To me it was ok not something I would be in a rush to go purchase again. I asked for help on the ordering was hoping that the worker could suggest something or tell me about the different drinks they have and what's in them that was an epic fail. Would I recommend not sure, would I go back yes I'm always willing to give second chances.

    I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered this little hidden gem! My kids and I LOVE boba and milk teas! We also tried a smoothie which was absolutely fantastic. I love the vibes and decor or the space. I can't wait to go back and sample more from the expansive menu. I highly recommend trying this spot!!!!

    We found hair in our food. The people that work there never washed their hands. When we walked in everyone was sitting down. They walked behind the counter without washing their hands.

    Great place for after class hangout! Drinks taste good. Workers are nice and attentive. Overall, a great addition to Lafayette. Decorations are sooo cute for instagram!

    Super good Taro milk tea! The coffee milk tea wasn't our favorite (we've had a looooooot of milk teas), it was just lacking good flavor. Boba tasted fresh and yummy!will definitely come again!

    Kung Fu TEA It's great for ME…read moreI stop by here for a drink or THREE Keep coming BACK For Lemon BLACK Feel so addicted maybe they use CRACK I'm not SURE But it tastes so PURE Bobaddiction is my sickness and there is no CURE So I'll get the BOBA And then I'll go OVER To Barbie's hotel room so I can DISROBE HER Anyway, enough about the perfect Barbie You better get your ass to K - F - T WHAT. So this is a lovely and brand new Kung Fu Tea location that I'm sure we will visit many more times in the future. It's a couple of miles off the highway in a leafy little part of town, close to the University - right where it should be. So of course they have it all - nice decor, good people, and good products. If I were to deduct a star, the main sticking point is the Lemon Black Tea - in that they have a big lit up board advertising "Lemon Series drinks" and then wouldn't make us any of them, "no longer on the menu", "might get in trouble", and it's like... it's what we drove hours to come here for, so come on now! However, they were willing to switch some of the drinks from green tea to black tea, which was super nice of them, and I won't punish them for the lemoncluelessness despite the obvious mix up with the sign even advertising the drink LOL. Anyway hopefully next time we come to Laugh-a-minute, we will be able to get their version of our beloved Lemon Black Tea. What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca! Or: All the fruit teas are pretty good, especially if you go off menu and get black tea! Or: Go crazy and order your fruit teas with the very strong Oolong! Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas! Which milk teas are best: Honey Oolong! Oolong! Maybe Taro or Almond! I also love the regular milk tea with Oreo! Generally speaking, Kung Fu Tea scores 5, which is a huge compliment, considering that it's a massive international corporate chain, whose milk teas don't match up to the best chains: Sharetea, Gong Cha, Tea Top, 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 (Orange, Grapefruit, Pineapple) 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. The one annoying thing about the chain is the corporate office (they're sketchy) and their rule that no drink can have its tea altered. Anyway let's get some food to go with our Bubble Teas. I'm feeling kung-ry. If you're hungry grab an Old Tyme Grocery Po Boy before or after you come here. Mm-mmm. For Boba you will never forget That'll make you rock hard/dripping wet Get a Lemon Black Tea For a $5 fee From the new KFT Lafayette!

    The guy who was working 10/26/2024 at around 3pm was extremely rude and it was as if he was annoyed…read morewith us being at the establishment. He messed up one of our tea orders and started slamming things around and had an attitude while making the tea again from HIS mistake. Instead of actually tending to business, he decided to that working on his laptop was more important. My parents and I were very calm and cordial despite the crappy service and disrespect. Him and the people he was with on their laptops found it was okay to talk about us while we were still at the establishment drinking our tea which I found very dehumanizing given the situation.
