| - I didn't come here for fu'd, just a drink, but I felt like a fu'l after waiting almost half an hour for a damn bubble tea.
What to get: Lemon Black Tea With Tapioca!
Or in winter: Any of the hot milk teas!
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.
This location, however, which I have only visited twice, can't have 5 stars. Because if I'm going to pay this much for a damn bubble tea (over 5 dollars for a large with tapioca), then I expect things to go fairly smoothly. I expect them not to mess up my order (they did the first time) and I expect it not to take 23 minutes to get my tea from the time I got in line (I checked). And it's not a one off, because at certain times of day, the line is consistently out the door on any given school day (and by school I mean University). So this KFT needs more registers, more employees, and more capacity to churn out the corporate bubble teas, because otherwise, what's the point? This is Cleveland, not Manhattan.
Still, the Lemon Black Tea is amazing (if they don't give you green tea instead), so 4 stars.
