    bbq entree with matcha cupcake, salad, and hojicha
    Jada B.

    I visited here two times within the past week and will be visiting again soon. Ive had the spot saved for awhile and finally went and wasn't disappointed. Their menu has a couple options and a good priced combo meal which includes the entree, 2 spring rolls, a cupcake, chips/salad, and a drink- all for under $20. Their tea options were multiple pages long and they also had plenty of options on retail to buy for yourself. I got the bbq bowl both times since it was so good. Everything is given in to-go containers so it's easy to pack up and I had plenty to bring home. The seating is pretty limited having them inside and outside, but there is a whole study room dedicated for being quiet that have some wall plugs for charging your devices. The lounge is also darkly lit allowing natural lightly which makes it perfect to focus on your work. The only downside is that the ac doesn't seem to be strong so it gets hot inside especially if there's a lot of people. I heavily recommend trying a sweetened iced hojicha latte with soy milk to cool you down! The worker was sweet and explained to me the process of how it's made which I enjoyed learning about :)

    I've been coming here for years for tea, games, and a quiet place to get computer work done. It's been a while but I'm glad I came today and was able to get a soy milk matcha latte with a medium sweet profile. It's a good spot that serves as a 3rd space for those who don't want to be blasted by Starbucks music. It's much more chill here and there's a shoes-off quiet room to lock in.

    Kaleisa has grown up ocer the 30 years I've been aware of them! I came to see the Queens tea, foos for love. Which was put on by friends. Kaliesa closed the eatery and made it a for ticket only show which was awesome. My friend and I sharedd a chicken Bhan Mi and each had a boba coffee. The food was fresh and delicious, the show was a good one and the boba was delectable. Im so glad I went and got to try Kaleisa again

    This has always been a go-to place for studying when I was in undergrad and graduate school. The vibes are so calming and they even have a separate quiet room. The service is always amazing, you feel entirely welcome upon entering and you are always greeted with a smile. Now to the food and teas, this is truly where they shine. They have so many tasty options with many vegan dishes including the spicy red curry which has lemongrass tofu and rice on the side. They have a full loose leaf tea wall and an option to purchase just the tea leaves if you want to make at home (as well as teapots and teacup sets!) I got the strawberry matcha which has fresh strawberry purée at the bottom - such a refreshing drink on a hot day! Parking is plentiful and lots of seating with outlets. Also outdoor seats available as well with outlets!

    OMG, can we just take a moment to admire how beautiful the interior of this place is? One of the first things that caught my eye was their tea sample station--it was such a thoughtful touch! They had different tea options categorized by flavor (sweet, herbal, etc.), and the one offered that day was absolutely delicious. I ordered the vegan curry dish, and wow--it did not disappoint. The heat and spice were perfectly balanced, and it was served piping hot, just the way I like it. I paired it with the tropical tea, which was super refreshing and complemented the meal beautifully. The service was great, too. My order was taken promptly and brought to my table with care. One charming detail I loved was the quiet nook where you can take off your shoes and relax--it's perfect for reading or getting some work done. This spot is definitely a hidden gem. I had no idea it was tucked away off this road, but I'll absolutely be back for more peaceful lunch breaks.

    I'm ashamed that this is my first review of Kaleisia because my husband and I have been coming here almost 3x a week for the past two years! We LOVE Kaleisia! The teas are delicious and the variety is unmatched! Their boba is the perfect consistency. Their food is delicious and made with quality (great vegan options as well). The customer service is authentic and amazing! The owner is all about community. The workshops they hold are very informative and interesting! Basically, Kaleisia is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tampa!

    So happy I found this place! I brought a 15 year old with me to show her boba for her first time, and this was the perfect place for us. It was super busy for a Sunday around 3pm, so we had to wait a little bit for a table, but it worked out fine for us. There's even a quiet room where you're supposed to go shoe-free, which is interesting. Lots of different tea options, and I like that it's all super customizable. I just got their coconut tea iced, and my mentee got a fruity tea with the popping boba and she loved it. Can't wait to go back! Would be a great place to work/study too!

    Mango Matcha Latte and a Vietnamese Coffee

    K-indness A-mbience L-ove E-levated I-rresistible S-afe I-mmaculate A-uthentic What can I say? These words and so many more describe how much Kaleisia Tea Lounge means to me and my community. As someone who consumes ALOT of boba, Kaleisia stands out. They are consistently putting out banger after banger with perfectly cooked boba. Whether you're a milk tea, fruit tea, traditional tea fan or other, they got something for everyone. And the seasonal menus got my wife and I counting down the days in our calendar every year! Maybe my favorite part about this place is the stellar boba baristas. They are one of the kindest groups of professionals serving TPA Bay. Shout out to Kim's whole team. What are you waiting for? Pull up!!!

    Thai Tea

    On my way home, I felt like having some tea. So, I searched for tea places nearby and found Kaleisia Tea Lounge. The tea lounge was a beautiful place with a lovely ambiance and a great decor. I went straight to the counter to order a Thai Tea with Boba and the service was exceptional. Within no time, I received my order of Thai Tea. It was a delectable blend of perfectly roasted tea and the right amount of boba. I loved drinking my tea at Kaleisia Tea Lounge, and would highly recommend it for tea lovers.

    Most delicious coffee and tea in temple terrace Employees are super friendly and prices are reasonable for the quality! Great study spot but tables could be limited depending on time/day of the week. If it's your first time highly suggest getting the Vietnamese Iced Coffee with boba. It's so good i can't seem to bring myself to ever try anything else

    I find myself consistently drawn to the enchanting ambiance of Kaleisia Tea Lounge. The atmosphere is nothing short of delightful, with its soft, dimmed lighting that creates a warm and inviting glow. The expansive glass windows allow for a seamless connection to the outside world, enhancing the overall experience with a refreshing sense of openness. Ive had about 50% of their food menu and its all been so delicious, not a fan of the veggie straws as a side in a nonesealed container; doesnt stay crispy very long. The tea selection is great, I really recommend this place. The staff is so friendly and welcoming overall great vibes.

    Such a cute study spot! Good amount of seating indoor, outdoors, and a quiet study area where you take your shoes off and sit on the floor. The WiFi was a bit difficult to connect to and VERY slow ended up hot spotting. The drinks come out quickly and can be customized to milk and toppings of choice. The strawberry matcha was just ok I wouldn't get it again it was watery tasting not very pronounced matcha flavoring the strawberry really saved it. Lots of food options and seems to be primarily plant based.

    Their tea is decent but their food is not very impressive. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It's a great place to study or work.

    I had an amazing experience at Pho 813! The food was absolutely outstanding, especially the Banh Mi…read morepork sandwich. It was perfectly balanced with crispy bread, flavorful, tender pork, and fresh ingredients that made every bite incredible. You can tell a lot of care goes into their preparation. The pho was just as impressive. The broth was rich, aromatic, and full of depth, exactly what you want in a great bowl of soup. It was comforting, fresh, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. On top of the delicious food, the service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Vietnamese food, Pho 813 is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommend!

    Quick, good, just what you want…read more Ok yeah I have a soft spot for pho813. It's close to the house, it's great and I'm never upset. If it's cold or there is a heavy rain storm outside there is a 85% chance you will see me here for dinner. It just makes sense. I throughly enjoy a lot of things about pho813. From the sauces on the table to the attentive waiters this is the spot. I've done solo dates, group events after sports and birthday celebrations here and everybody enjoyed their meals. Also the bar seating is clutch for solo outings. I don't have to worry about occupying a 4 top and you can chop it up with the staff behind the bar. Heck yeah. Once I was blocked in by the owner/manager in the car lot (I may have parked in the staff parking becuase it was so busy) and when I told the staff a man came out in full 3 piece suit and we laughed our way to the car and he told me he thought I was apart of the kitchen crew so why not park behind me. A great vibe accompanied by great food. I love this place. I can't wait to come back and try more and more dishes and up those 4 stars to 5!

    Mini Kim Son in HTX if yall ever been. This place is located just about 45 mins away from DT Tampa…read more The food choices remind you of Vietnamese comfort food, so many endless options whether it's braised egg and pork, congee, chicken salad, Vietnamese rice rolls, Thai tea, pho noodle or whatever soup they have of the day, apparently their menus change. I also tried their Bo kho which is the beef stew, they have the mini Vietnamese tacos very crispy, and other options like the broken egg rice and vermicelli noodles to pair with pork and fish sauce. They also have banh bo lot which is a popular option people love to get as well as dessert options like making your own Che. Ambiance is a tight space, parking is also tight, you for feel crammed. However, it also gives that homey vibe like as if you're walking into your grandmothers home.. service was good, our plates were cleaned but they do rush you in a way if there's a wait for bigger parties. Unfortunately, it's a buffet style so you can't have dietary restrictions when you come here..

    Food was just meh. Highlights were pho, mussels and banh xeo, other than that nothing was really…read morewow or buffet worthy. They had soups in a ninja, other foods were just dry especially thit kho. The banh xeo was really crispy which was great but it had 1 small shrimp in it and a bit of bean sprouts. I think this restaurant has potential just needs professional looking cookware. Maybe add desserts or a drink station. For $25 it prob needed more especially since we made the drive from Clearwater (30+ mins)
