Well they did and boy am I glad they did because I LOVE Kalesia and loved having the chance to show it to new people. I was just afraid there'd be too many of us. But I got super lucky and there was a large open table. Everyone really enjoyed their drinks. They all got the fancy blends but I'm perfectly happy with my "teatannic" (the largest size and that name cracks me up) Moroccan Mint. So refreshing iced. This is a delightful, cozy, Asian themed café. There are a few food options like bahn mi and rice bowls and tons of tea and a few latte options. The service is always so friendly and I always see little groups hanging out and chatting and individuals doing some studying or working. They even have a gorgeous quiet room, set up to take your shoes off and sit comfortably on the floor and study or write or work in peace. I could definitely see bringing my laptop and working on a novel with a delicious, comforting tea. I haven't tried the food yet because every time I come here it's either right before or right after dinner plans, but it looks and smells SO good and my time is coming!

Nicely nestled into a group buildings on Fletcher Ave. A quiet hideaway with great fragrances from…read morethe food and tea. We were promptly greeted and the menu explained. I picked the spicy red Thai curry that comes with rice and I also ordered an immunity tea. The seasoning was perfect. Lightly spice curry and a calming immunity tea. The restaurant is clean and open. There is even a quiet room with cushion around the table. The gift shop has lots of teas and tea sets as well as tea balls. The food was hot and fresh. A very nice environment.

The place is beautiful, decorated with such a great taste, perfect for studying or coworking. The girls that took my order were so nice and helpful. Loved their energy I had the brown sugar shaken espresso and something that I can associated with a Yemeni empanada lol (sorry totally forgot the name). The "empanada " was yummy but nothing to go crazy for. the coffee was WOWWWWWW as a Colombian I take coffee really seriously and this was the best coffee I had in months!!! If I had this place close to my house I would be broke coming daily 1000% recommended!!!!

This is my favorite coffee shop in the Tampa Bay area. Upon entering this beautiful establishment,…read moreI immediately started reminiscing on my time in Dubai, Turkey, and other Middle Eastern countries. The taste of the coffee is similar to Turkish or Greek. It's stronger and much more tasteful. Unlike those other coffees, this coffee is naturally flavored. This is probably the best $5 cup of coffee in all of FL. The lady in front of me placed a double order of the food (see picture titled "mini blessing). It was delicious.

Everything on the menu looks amazing. Ended up choosing the Triple Chocolate Kanafa, a mint…read morelemonade, and an apple juice. It's very spacious and comfortable. The music is at a comfortable volume. Service took a bit of time, but the results are amazing. The apple juice was confusing at first because it came in separate layers in the cup, but once mixed, it was amazing. Had to stop myself from chugging it. The mint lemonade is out of this work. So minty and fresh. Perfect for a hot day, pool day, or day at the beach.

I'm so very on the fence with this place. My daughter was thrilled to take us here for dessert-…read moreI've been to something similar back in Jacksonville. First- the parking lot is pothole ridden. And Saturday night, just don't bother- the whole plaza was chaos. Too many people. I actually have an allergy to cigarettes and too many people were milling about smoking- so here I was speed walking to get inside to escape the smell only to be bombarded with a completely different smell that wrecked my sinuses. The whole place smells of insanely strong perfume! It's so bad- you will taste it in your food! So- no matter how amazing the chocolate is, the environment ruins the experience. My appetite was ruined. I left with a horrible headache and couldn't wait to get back home to shower! I wanted the epic, chocolate indulging, fountains flowing experience. I thought it would tickle the senses- I couldn't even smell chocolate. Visual- 5 stars, looks amazing Taste- 3 stars, impacted by smell Everything else- 1 star

Had high hopes but overall average. Went for a early dinner snack. Checked out what was left in the…read morebakery. Some interesting items but will need a second visit with that as the goal. This first visit we got the Szechuan spicy fries, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, chicken fried rice, Viet coffee, and brown sugar milk tea. Drinks were ready first, then food came out shortly after. My coffee was the very good, but the tapioca in the milk tea was mushy and not the right texture (no Q). The popcorn chicken was also very good and the fried basil in it was a surprising treat. The fried rice was ok, nothing special. The fries might have been more disappointing than the tapioca. They were not spicy at all and overall kinda bland. They are cooked soft, not crispy type fries so it's not what I expected either. Food was very hit or miss for me. It is order at counter and seat yourself. The customer service was good and the worker was friendly though.

With the add-ons and tip, the total came to about $18 for both drinks. Fair price and quality! I like how straightforward the menu is, even if the milk tea selection is a bit smaller than other boba shops. The Oolong Milk Tea with Ice Cream is my favorite and wasn't overly sweet, even at 100% sweetness. The Pandan Caramel Thai Milk Tea with Sea Salt Crema was a little sweeter but still well balanced without flavor fatigue. It wasn't busy when we visited, so service was fast and friendly, and ordering through the self-serve kiosk was easy. The shop has a calm, clean, and inviting atmosphere with plenty of seating for studying or relaxing, plus board games to enjoy while you sip your drinks!
