Pineapple & Passion Fruit Green Tea W. Nata JellyPineapple
Phuong B.

Best boba place in town! Love their fruit teas and brown sugar milk tea. The boba is made always perfect and love it as an extra topping in my tea with the lychee jelly!

Such a cute hidden gem in Tampa! The food was absolutely incredible -- a true 10/10. I tried the chocolate waffle, Taiwanese chicken, chicken sandwich, and the cereal corn dog, and every single item was amazing. The chicken, especially, was incredibly tender and flavorful, and everything was very reasonably priced for the quality. I also ordered a strawberry boba tea, and it was hands-down the best I've had anywhere in Tampa. Highly recommend this spot! Service was also great!

My visit at Tsaocaa was great, and honestly I have been craving for their coconut mango slush since then. Usually that order comes with crystal boba, but i substituted it for mango popping boba, which I think is the right move. This boba shop also comes with hot food. I always love the Korean corn dogs. I got the simple Korean corn dog with half cheese and she's got the sweet potato one. They were both yummy. The service was fairly fast. It was good too because they have a self service kiosk. They also have descriptions of the food in the kiosk. In this way you get to order without awkwardly looking up at the menu board. The place has a chill vibe which is perfect for a get together with friends, a boba date or a study session.

Excellent fruit tea :)

Yet another great addition to the Tampa boba tea scene! Tsaocaa always has great service. The people working here are friendly and give good drink suggestions. Ambiance is modern and bright, great for hanging out and catching up with friends. They have a lot of different food and snack options, along with the plentiful drink options that they have. However, the drinks are a little pricier than some of the other boba shops around. That being said, would definitely drop by again :)

Oolong milk tea with grass jelly
Rebecca K.

The food and service are very fast. The staff was pretty rushed and a little overwhelmed, which gave me and my friend a bad first impression. No one really approached us at the counter because all three staff members were busy making drinks. Drinks were good, but the sizing is so misleading. The regular is the size of a small /: and the large is the size of a regular

Wings

Tsaocaa is newly open. We visited twice. We like the boba drink and their specialty drink. They also serve the Pan Asian street food I like. During our visit, there were a lot of customers in the store. It is definitely popular. We got several different drink. The drinks include milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, Hong Kong style milk tea, mix berry green tea, mango mojito, red bean slush, colorful black tea. All tea are refreshing and tasty. We also got some takoyaki, the salt pepper chicken nuggets, and Korean fried chicken. It is interesting to have. The food are delicious.

Secret spicy wings
Donald L.

The Korean fried chicken and fries(for the kids) are the main reasons we drive out to Tsaocaa. Always consistent. Nice crunchy breading and the wings are always thoroughly cooked (never had a raw wing here). Usually, get the honey garlic, but tried the secret spicy today. Sweet with a mild spiciness to them. The wings aren't drowning in sauce. Each order of 10 wings come in a nice little box, no matter if you are dining in or taking it to go (this is great if you have leftovers.) Plenty of seating for small groups and the acoustics are good enough to enjoy the house music and hold a conversation with your friends. Single multi gender bathroom that is typically clean.

Singing Happy Praises for Tsaocaa, a new boba and Korean fried chicken spot!! I tried a bunch of goodness here, and I can't stop raving about it. First and foremost, I simply loved my drink. I picked the Lychee Green Tea w/ Crystal Pearl, and milk foam(cheese foam). My friend Ordered the purple yam boba drink. To me, it tasted flowery and with cloves. I don't know how else to describe it. Quite different. I'm happy I know what it tastes like. For bites, I had the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and the Takoyaki (Octopus Balls). The popcorn chicken seasoning is nice and flavorful and is very addicting. The takoyaki is good and interesting with the flakey bonito flakes. I never had that before. The site reminds me of onion skin. It compliments it well, but not yummy by itself. Takoyaki also had a very Japanese Mayo taste in case u don't like tons of Mayo. Because I loved it so much, I had to buy Korean Fried Chicken. I bought a small Honey Garlic wings which comes with 12. I also bought a small soy garlic drumsticks with comes with 5. They warm up nicely in the air fryer. They were both excellent. The next day I made a waffle to go with the chicken. That made it even more amazing and unforgettable. These prices are very good for the quality and quantity and the service was excellent and super helpful!! I asked if my friend and I can eat our donuts together since we didn't have a place to do so, and they nicely obliged. I will definitely be back!!! Above and beyond excellent here!

I don't get the type yet! Came here to try it based on other reviews. And I went out of my norm/comfort zone with not ordering matcha here which I probably should've just stuck with my usual. They were pretty busy when we walked in and it took a good 30 minutes for our order to be ready. I'm going to blame the wait on the amount of people there and hopefully it's not their normal speed. We ordered the popcorn chicken along with strawberry yogurt drink, dragon fruit green tea (didn't change the way it came which is with the crystal pearl and milk foam) and the brown sugar bubble milk tea. Dragon fruit tea was good, not overly sweet and nice flavor. It was sort of a slush tea which I also liked. Seems they blend it with ice. I liked it with the milk foam however hated the crystal pearls that it came with. Next time I'd definitely order without. The pearls are crunchy and no flavor, sort of like the center of the lychee jellies but this version was not good. The strawberry yogurt drink was actually good...also blended and not overly sweet however again the pearls it had were not good. It would've been better without. Even the hubs who is not a fan of tea thought it was ok but also hated the pearls. The brown sugar tea was probably the best one. But REALLY sweet!! We ordered full sugar so I'd recommend getting with far less. Chicken had a strong lemongrass flavor. I was not a fan at all.

This is our go to for bubble tea. We have been all over Tampa and we keep going back. So far we haven't found anywhere that tops this place.

Bobba?
Orlando M.

Didn't try the food yet. Service and good but I'm just here to try the Bobba tea. Sadly they didn't have Tai tea Bobba.... What Bobba place doesn't have Tai tea Bobba. Maybe it was just today.

Jo A.

This place was really nice and clean! I ordered the brown sugar milk boba subbed with oat milk, takoyaki and sesame balls. The flavor and chewyness of the boba and jelly was good but my drink seemed watered down and hardly any oatmilk. The takoyaki (I got the half serving) was really good! It wasn't too salty or overpowering. The sesame balls were also good but a bit pricey. They have plenty of seating although the bench seats are a bit too high for the table. Other than that, nice vibes, if you need a place to study/work while getting your snack on.

The crispy pork belly was perfectly cooked, the poached eggs were spot on, and the roasted red pepper hollandaise took the whole dish to another level. It's one of the best Benedicts I've had. My friend had the Morning Bowl, made with vanilla Greek yogurt, granola, fresh bananas and strawberries, topped with honey and their house-made blueberry poppy maple syrup. It was fresh, beautiful, and just the right balance of healthy and indulgent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend Himes Breakfast House if you're looking for a memorable breakfast or brunch!

I thought we would love it, but we ended up finding it just OK…read more This is a super popular spot. We came at about 9 AM on a Sunday and there was a 15 minute wait. A lot of people bring their children here and it makes sense that they're here early since children wake up early. They also have a really cute treasure box with prizes for the kids, so if I was here with my family, I probably would bump this up a star. However, I was here with my husband and our couple friend. The decor is beautiful. I love how bright and cheery all the decorations are. Parking can get difficult, it seems like they have just enough parking for the amount of people there. The food is what I found just OK. I got their yogurt bowl, which I guess I can't really expect to be wow'd by a yogurt bowl, but I found it to be fine. My options were limited since I don't eat pork and a majority of their meat is pork. They do have a chicken sausage, but looking at pictures. It looks like the casing may possibly be pork so I decided to avoid it just in case. I also got their cold brew, it didn't come with any cream or sweetener or anything to add. I probably should've asked for some, because I found the cold brew to just be OK. My husband got the chicken pot pie and said he expected more chicken in it. I think our overall feel of the food was it was fine, but not great. I won't run to come back here, but I also wouldn't be opposed to someone wanted to. I think that's the definition of three stars for me. Price is super reasonable, this meal will not break the bank.

We spotted this place and went in because you can't really go wrong with waffles right? The place was very clean, had a couch in the corner and a few tables. They have both sweet and savory waffle options on the menu. I personally think it's a bit excessive to charge for every single topping especially since the toppings are pretty standard. They also had a selection of some pretty basic ice cream flavors. We got a waffle with a scoop of ice cream and a smoothie. The waffle was a bit flavorless and undercooked inside. The ice cream was good enough and the contrast between the cold ice cream and warm waffle was great. For $12, it really should've come with at least some whipped cream and a couple of basic toppings with an option to upgrade for premium toppings. The smoothie was nothing special. Overpriced for what it is.

The counter service is always friendly, and they patiently waited while I picked out the Aloha Beaches Bowl from their selection of four acai bowls. You never feel rushed to order quickly here, and it's always pretty quiet and chill inside, with a few people sprinkled throughout working on their laptops. I should add here that I'm a big fan of acai bowls, and I've tried so many throughout the Tampa Bay Area and beyond over the past few years. And while the Aloha Beaches Bowl didn't disappoint - the fruit was fresh and the frozen acai was just the right texture - the price for the size of the bowl was a bit high compared to what you can get at other yummy acai spots like Grain & Berry or Soho Juice Co., where you have many more options available.

Overall, I'm very happy that this place is at Armature Works…read more I like to try to eat healthy when I'm out and about and also eat high protein, I found my options at Armature Works is kind of limited based on these two criteria. I'm glad Graze exists, because I feel like they have quite a few options that meet what I'm looking for. This time I got a kale Caesar with blackened Ahi tuna on it. The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans. What would have made this five stars is if it had less sauce, so next time I might ask for the dressing on the side so I can control putting it on myself. I appreciate that they text you when your order is ready so you can walk around, I was able to go back to my table and sit with the family until my order was ready. Some of the stalls do not open until 11 AM, but Graze opens before that, probably because they have breakfast options. If you're looking for a healthy place at Armature Works, I would highly recommend here.

My bestie and I always start with the Fried Green Tomatoes, which are cooked to perfection each and every time! So delicious. We also always order the fried fish, which comes with 2 sides. The fish is fresh and moist and definitely the main attraction for us. I'm in a rut and always order the sweet potatoes and the Mac and Cheese. What can I say - I love this combination so much it warrants repeating. Those sweet potatoes are amazing and the Mac is also excellent. I got a to-go order of the fried fish for my hubby and he wanted his with the Okra and Tomatoes, which he really enjoyed.

The server initially said they maybe out of chicken. Came back to say they had chicken left. My husband order liver and onions, she was unsure about the liver and onions. She asked the cook, who was walking around out front. He responded, yes we have liver. Okay, great we ordered. She said it will take 15 minutes. We said okay. She comes back out to say they have no Lima beans. My husband says why don't you tell me what you have and I will choose. It was apparent they had very little on the menu. It's 1:30pm on a Wednesday. It helps to know your inventory. The food comes out. I could hardly cut the chicken it was so dry and overcooked. It looked dark inside as if it was old. I tasted a little piece thinking maybe it was a different seasoning, it had an aftertaste. When the server came back, we inquired about the chicken. She said it is precooked in the mornings and cooked completely when ordered. I thought that's dangerous, letting undercooked chicken sit until ordered. The liver was so dry, you can see it in the picture. My husband could not eat it. They gave the impression that the food was cooked to order. It was not. The black eye peas and yams were good. The collard greens were okay. Not sure where the gravy on the rice came from. It wasn't from the liver. We didn't eat any of the food. They charged us for half the meal. I would have given a 1, but they were very nice. My goal is never to hurt a business. I'm a business owner. But, we must give a good product. We were very disappointed.
