Absolutely love this place! They have all the normal coffee shop items, with some fun specialty drinks. They also have small bites, I particularly like the bao buns. I HIGHLY recommend the traditional tea service. A great way to spend a quiet afternoon, bring a conversation partner or a book!
Seating can be a little tight, and like everywhere on Mainstrasse parking can be difficult

Friendly staff that I talked with and handed off my drink. Gorgeous store overall, I love a theme. Relaxing jazz-type music was playing upstairs. I wish I got a different drink, but it wasn’t untasty. I really enjoyed that they had a full tea menu in addition to coffee.

KungBrew is a really great coffeeshop/teahouse with a welcoming vibe and plenty of space to hang out. The shop has two floors, making it a nice spot for meeting friends or even getting some work done. I came on a Sunday morning during the rush—it was busy at the counter, but not many people were actually sitting down, so it still felt comfortable.
The menu is creative and diverse: light food, desserts, homemade bao buns, specialty coffee, and lots of tea options. They offer unique tea-based lattes and seasonal flavors, which makes the drink list feel a little more gourmet than your standard coffeeshop. I especially liked how much variety there was for latte styles.
The service was friendly, though a bit slower the day I visited—understandable with the morning rush, but worth keeping in mind if you’re in a hurry. The space itself is full of Asian-inspired art and décor, with some pieces even for sale, which adds a nice cultural touch.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend KungBrew if you’re looking for a cozy spot with unique drinks and room to spread out. Great for hanging out, studying, or just trying something new. Just be prepared that service might take a little longer on busy days.

Love coming to KungBrew! The tea sets are so fun, unique and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and they are always helpful with explanations of items and direction on what to get. We tried their new vegan option (the bagel sandhwich) and it was delicious! Always a fun little date.

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.

I cannot explain how much I love this place. The staff was SO FRIENDLY!! And so accommodating, and overwhelmingly kind. Their staff alone would be a reason to go here. Then you get an authentic, exciting, dynamic environment that meets everyone’s needs. Great music. Then THE CHAI!! So good!! You can sweeten it or let it be spicy/flavorful. 5 stars is NOT enough. I love them!!

What a lovely place!
I had the brown sugar shaken espresso, and it was great. I also like the way they serve their teas. They sell some asian snacks and beverages. They have board games. The atmosphere is great. I love the arts and the furniture they have.

Second time coming here while in town for work. Friendly staff both trips, coffee is great, good flavor and have no complaints about this coffee shop.
Never tried the food but it looks good at least.
As a prior barista years ago, I can recommend this location as making excellent espresso drinks.
Worth the trip over here if you want a good espresso drink.

This place is amazing! The drinks are incredible, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is one of the best I’ve ever come across in a coffee shop. I would recommend asking questions and clarifying before ordering, as a member of our party did not ask for specifics and got an order that was slightly different than expected. I also accidentally took a drink that belonged to someone else because they didn’t have names attached to orders, but I should have paid closer attention to when people placed their orders. All in all, this was an excellent experience, and I would absolutely love to visit again!
