Manga Tea Shop provides a local boba tea spot for the Carrollwood area to quell the immediate…read morecravings for boba tea. It's eccentric decor and theme makes it delightfully quirky and fun to visit. Understanding that good boba tea (Ten Ren being the baseline) is hard to come by in the Tampa Bay area, Manga Tea is pretty decent. At the time of our visit, the boba-rista was incredibly friendly and genuine - her welcoming attitude definitely suited this business - so kudos to her! The Tiger and standard milk teas served their purpose, but the fruit smoothies stood out pretty well. The menu is a mix of traditional flavors and the neo-bubble drink trend (more toward the latter). There is a decent amount of sitting room at which soft-cover manga publications are situated. Aside from the manga reads, there is also a free single-player arcade and nice pay-to-play claw machine. There are also a few non-beverage/food items for purchase for those anime fans. This is definitely a great hangout spot for those that just want to enjoy other like-minded anime/manga purveyors. I wouldn't be surprised if Manga Tea hosted some local/mini ComiCon event as it would be an ideal venue. Overall, an incredibly kid-teen friendly and safe environment to grab your boba drinks from.

I enjoyed an Americano which included 2 shots and they were kind enough to add a little whip on top. They sell some basic pastries. Nothing that's freshly baked although I will say it tastes good especially the warmed up blueberry muffin. The staff was super friendly and informative. I was able to enjoy a relaxing start to my day. I could sit down and the seats were comfortable clean and oh they have like a little area where you could take a little selfie with the angels in the back you know Angel wings in the back, which is cute and they share the Wi-Fi which is free there so I could see where that could be a nice little place where we could do some work if you wanted to you know or what not and enjoy your little coffee or tea to start your day or midday anyways I definitely recommend it. Yeah it's like coffee anywhere you go it's gonna be a little bit pricey unless you do it from home right but I will say it did pack a little nice punch. It's enough to give me a good supercharge for my day and I would definitely come back again.

It's inside of Sari One Kbbq and you walk right inside where they have a designated place if you're just there to get dessert. Service was great. The restaurant had a homey feel to it. You can tell it's family owned and the lady was very sweet. It was very yummy, the bingsu wasn't too sweet but I do have to say that the waffle was. The portions were decent.

I got the Mango Lemonade and it was solid. Not too sweet, although I wished the mango flavor was a little bit more pronounced. The lemonade flavor muted a lot of the mango flavor. But overall though, still a very solid place. Just know there's not much in terms of seating in the store, so it really is a grab and go type of place. If you want to hangout, you'll want to take those drinks over to some of the gathering spaces in other areas of Midtown. But all in all, a place I would come back to :)
