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 :)

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.

Oolong milk tea with grass jelly

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

Secret spicy wings

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.

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.

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.

Reviews are largely positive. People consistently praise the fresh, flavorful food, standout boba teas, and friendly, efficient service. The inviting, clean space is also well-liked.

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!

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!

You hit up Quickly Boba Café--*right next door*--for the perfect post-workout pick-me-up. Trust me, this is the *move*. First off, let's talk spring rolls. You're craving something light but satisfying, and these are it. Crispy on the outside, fresh and delicious on the inside. It's basically a protein shake in snack form (well, kind of... if protein shakes were wrapped in crispy goodness). The spring rolls here are like the reward you didn't know you needed after leg day. **Legs = wobbly. Stomach = happy.** And of course, boba. You're in a boba café, after all! Whether you're team milk tea or fruit tea, they've got you covered. Sip on one of these bad boys and it's the cooldown you didn't even know you needed after those killer squats. Quickly Boba Café is basically the unofficial after-gym hangout. You finish working on those gains, walk a few steps, and BAM--you're in boba and spring roll heaven. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to refuel, refresh, and reward themselves.

The drinks are still customizable though if you did want to get specific. The interior has changed a lot too; the furniture is newer, they have a self-service ordering machine, and I like how there's bigger tables so it's easier to have groups. The price has definitely risen, but also I just attribute that to rising costs in general. I got one of my usuals, the Thaiger Queen, which is Earl Grey and Thai milk tea mixed together. Still as tasty as it was years back.
