East Coast bubble tea has arrived in Cleveland!
Like others have mentioned, Cleveland has been super slow on the uptake for bubble tea. My husband was so happy that KFT opened that we joke his quality of life in Cleveland improved by 38%. We've tried KFT in Boston and other locations, and this location is comparable. (I did peek inside the San Mateo location once and was horrified at how small and dirty it was! How can you allow it to be part of your franchise?) The interior is super modern and spacious with large LED screens for the menu. Plenty of seating inside and outside on their patio.
It's a part of Kenko, which is a local fast Japanese casual place that franchised KFT. I don't care much for Kenko - I just skip right to the boba.
KFT is free of the super sugary high fructose corn syrup. They also do their bubbles right! You can also customize how you like. I usually do less ice, half sugar, and less bubbles.
My favorite flavors are the oolong tea. I also tried the yakult and it's so good!
