    it's the best bubble tea in DC proper, no question. it's unassuming, but trust me:  I've worked in this neighborhood for 6 years (working outside on hot summer days), and I. love. bubble tea. They use actual fruit here, NOT powder. even the taro flavor is made with REAL taro. the boba is cooked perfectly- springy and chewy and just a little but sweet. the cantaloupe is my favorite on a hot day but you can't really go wrong. plus there's usually slices of leftover tasting cake for sale, in case you still have a sweet tooth. I can't resist getting a cantaloupe boba on hot days and I wish more people knew about this place, it's heaven.

    This review is for the bubble tea only. Right when you walk in the place is filthy. I wasn't going to get anything but my friend wanted to try a bubble tea and ended up throwing it out because it tasted off.

    I can't imagine getting anything from a place that dirty; they should at least try to present the front well.

    For an unassuming little bakery in Adams Morgan, Kogibow really blew us away with an amazing cake created for our wedding. Our needs were simple -- we just needed a sheet cake to feed 30 -- but the results were perfect. We brought in pictures of what we were looking for and they matched it exactly, and unlike many many wedding cakes I've eaten, this one was delicious. We probably should have planned to feed 60 instead of 30 because everyone wanted more. It was a great experience start to finish.

    Ehhhh - very uninviting establishment with what seems like a lot of clutter and poorly placed menus.
    I ordered a black tea & milk bubble tea that left a lot to be desired.
    I can't see myself visiting again or recommending this place.

    I say this with all confidence. KoGiBow bakery is the best bakery in Washington DC! I've been to plenty of bakeries in the DC area and KoGiBow is by far the best! Friendliness of the staff, pricing "you get a lot for your money" I ordered a 1/4 sheet cake doubled layered and with a custom image for a fair price. YES you can show them any image and they can add it on the cake, as a edible image. They have either Vanilla, Chocolate or Tres Leches as the cake flavors and you can add a variety of fruits as a decoration. Check out the picture of my amazing cake I added. I highly recommend this bakery for weddings, birthdays or any parties.
