Zimo Bakery and Cafe is a great spot for a pastry, some good coffee or a warm meal! They have noodles, fried rice and other menu items on the list. I got the dumplings and they were very good, while we enjoyed some baked goodies. Christina and her husband who work there are super friendly and made our stay extra comfy. I really appreciate them! It's a good spot to sit down, get some coffee/treat and chill for a while. read more

I was on a bit of a food excursion this day and was craving dessert. Zimo is an Asian style bakery with the highly coveted Hong Kong style egg tarts !! They have quite an extensive drink menu and the service is friendly. Would recommend read more

So I've been here several times, but this is the first time for an actual meal. Tim, the owner or manager was very kind to go over the menu options and make recommendations. It was a Tuesday and believe it or not, it's buy two, get one free on the pastries, which Tim informed me his wife bakes. Zimo has such a positive, chill zen vibe. Great music and atmosphere. Ideal place to go on a first date. My friend and I really enjoyed our entrées and she got to pick out a free pastry for her birthday as well. We'll definitely be back. My pad Thai was amazing. It was made with coconut milk and had just a hint of spice. The portions were generous so I actually had enough for two more lunches. Highly recommend Zio. read more

We stumbled upon this cute gem after we visited Asian store a few doors down (MD Otiental) when we moved here a few years ago. The Pork floss savory pastry is one of my favorite things to get here! My husband always gets their Vietnamese coffee. The service is great. Very fast and efficient. Friendly staff. All of the pastries that I've tried so far are so tasty! The ambiance is great. read more

Sooo this is quickly becoming my goto bakery and drink spot. You can tell they do things fresh here. Kinda internet cafe vibes also, when made for a low key spot. Nice and friendly peeps behind the counter. Drunkin Noodle review: had the strawberry cooler day one with those popper things in the drink. I like the sofe ones better. Never knew they had texture choices. Went back rhe next day for the iced tea cooler. Both were refreshing drinks. read more

It's been 2.5 years since I have been here! I had been craving the popcorn chicken for 2.5 years! Still delicious! Chai was great. Service flawless. Chicken basil Thai fried rice perfect. Atmosphere clean and cozy. It's no wonder I spent almost $60 just on myself (minus one tea for my sister). Had to stock up since I don't know when I'll be back. read more

We stopped here after visiting Bass Pro Shop near by and wanted a place to eat close to where we already were. It was such a great experience. The food was good and speedy as it was a little after the lunch rush and the restaurant wasn't crowded. I got the chicken katsu and milk tea. What made the experience great was the staff, specifically Christina, who was very friendly and helpful! read more

I had the Shrimp sandwich, Spicy chicken sandwich and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. These were all so good and the roasted oolong milk tea was the perfect combo to them all! My favorite is the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and I can see myself coming back just for this! Pro tip get the extra spicy you'll love it! Chef's kiss! I also usually come here for the pork floss onion bun! read more

The food here is which is so unexpected from a boba shop. Their boba is super good too, not too heavy but light and fragrant with tea aroma. Their baked goods are also duper, i love their pork floss bun. For boba, i really like the roasted oolong milktea. It is kinda self-serve service, but the employees are very friendly. Be sure to ask for stamp card to collect. It's a cute little place, perfect for brunch and work/studying. read more

I was in Brandon and wanted to have a hot coffee. So, I searched near me and I saw that Zimo Bakery & Cafe near me which offers hot coffee and quick bite to eat. When I went inside zimo bakery & cafe the bakery is cute and it offers bakery food which includes pastries and baked foods. After exploring the menu, I decided to order White Chocolate Mocha and along with Coffee I ordered Spring roll. The service was good and soon I got my coffee. The white chocolate mocha coffee was hot and delicious. The coffee was brewed hot and it was delicious. Soon I got spring roll too. The spring rolls were hot and it was delicious. Amazing spring rolls. The coffee as well as spring rolls were delicious and tasty. I loved my morning coffee along with the quick bite. read more

I stopped by here with my daughter. I like this place. The prices are good and the cookies were great.

I've cut the toe so badly. Was bleeding and in pain. Their door is hard to open and very sharp. The food is the below average. Everything is cold !! And like plastic. Prices are too high for that read more

I visited here for the first time a couple days ago. Got a Spicy Crispy chicken sandwich to eat that day and a couple buns for the next couple of days. I was so impressed by the chicken sandwich....it was juicy and so flavorful....I have had allot of chicken sandwiches and this is my new favorite! I love that they use chicken thigh instead of breast as things are my favorite! This one came on a fresh baked super soft and slightly sweet bun with Japanese Mayo and lettuce....a definite winner! Can't wait to try the fried basil chicken chunks next time! I got a Garlic Hot Dog Bun which was fantastic and a Rose Bun thst was huge and pretty darn sweet but very delicious. Got the Oreo cheesecake as a treat fir my boyfriend and it was yummy but definitely different than the traditional cheesecake we are used to. The inside was very neat, clean and pleasing. read more

I got my order through ubereats! I really enjoyed my milk tea. It was the cheese rose milk tea. Cheese foam is my favorite topping on any milk tea, despite the flavor. It's a salty sweet cheesecake flavor,... sort of. Just try it! I liked the flavoring of my Salt Pepper Chicken Sandwich. It was seasoned well. The bun was so nice and buttery. They use dark meat. The texture of the chicken threw me off though. I had to keep double checking if my chicken was done. I wish they could fried the chicken a little longer and/or have a bit more crisp to it. I added ruffle chips to my sandwich to get over the texture, but didn't not finish it all (maybe half). I wouldn't get the sandwich again, but I would try another sandwich that has "crispy" in its title. For it to be to-go/ubereats, they packaged everything pretty well. My food bag was stapled shut and my milk tea was in a plastic bag and knotted. So they do very well with packaging for togo. read more

The egg tarts are 10/10. But they do run out of their baked goods and replenish them through out the day. The boba menu has your staples including thai milk tea. I like their carbonated drinks like the mojito one, super refreshing. The honey dew milk tea is surprisingly good too. The hot foods are cooked to order and typically have 10ish min wait. They have a small case of rotating flavors for fresh cakes and cheesecakes. read more

Zimo Bakery & Cafe - Fried Basil Popcorn Chicken and Osmanthus Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This place has been on my "wish list to try" for some time. Finally made off over today and it didn't disappoint! We got there soon after they opened. Greeted upon entering. This is a cute tea shop that also has Asian pastries and snack food. Seating available and the areas are kept so clean. Staff is friendly!! They were filling the areas where the pastries were when we arrived and they were so fresh!! They even have cookies. I was so torn on what to try. I'm typically a matcha tea girl but wanted to try something different since I know what tea shop has the matcha I prefer anyways. So in speaking to the staff member she recommended the Super Fruit tea. She said it was their top seller and her favorite. She wasn't wrong! I loved it! Loved that it has fresh fruit slices and mango chunks in it. I got 2 of them, 1 with zero sugar and 1 with 30% sugar. Loved both ways. They do use a syrup in making the tea so they cannot get truly zero sugar however I prefer as low as possible! I did also get 2 pastries -- the matcha red bean mochi and the custard bun. Can't wait to try them! The staff actually forgot to put the fruit slices in my tea and when I asked she was so apologetic and quickly fixed it. Really no problem at all and I really liked how she was so friendly about it. Although this place isn't by my house I'll still come visit when in the area. read more

I'm not necessarily a tea guy, but my better half dragged me here to try out the goods. What I didn't know was that they are also a bakery. This was a bonus. This cafe/bakery is tucked away into a corner of a shopping plaza that contains a bunch of assorted businesses. Parking lot is big and if you cannot find parking, you're doing something wrong. First impression walking in: OH! It's an Asian bakery AND tea shop. That made me feel better since I'm not necessarily a tea guy. Ended up ordering a fruit tea with 30% sweetness just to try it out. Didn't taste bad and it had a bunch of fruit mixed in, hence being named fruit tea. I thought the little black seeds, which are edible we're a little weird, but not bad all tings considered. We also purchased a few baked goods. Specifically, a matcha red bean bun and a custard bun. Haven't had a chance to eat them just yet, but will. Tehy certainly look and smell good. There are quite a few tea shops in the Tampa Nay area, but it was nice to go to one with a large baked good selection as well. Will have to pick up some almod cookies the next go around. read more

I am rarely in Tampa/Riverview anymore since moving to South Carolina, but when I am, I always want to try something new! This cafe was minutes down the road from my mom's house so I decided to try it after looking up pictures on Instagram. Wow was it delicious! I arrived there at 11 on a Sunday and the pastries were flying off the shelves. In the blink of an eye, all the cheese bread sold out and several customers were asking for more. I was taking some home so I decided to get a bunch of things. Garlic Hot Dog bun, Rose Bun, Curry Chicken, BBQ pork floss bun and two almond cinnamon buns. Before I hit the road to head back home I ate the garlic Hot Dog bun and omg, it was so good! I bought 2 more right after! I also ordered a cheese jasmine green tea and it was so fragrant, floral and refreshing! There is so much to choose from, service is fast and friendly! I definitely recommend trying this place out! read more

Zimo is constantly innovating and updating their menu to thankfully bring all of those popular social media worldwide foodie trends to life. In a time of uncertainty, we can count on this local bake chop and teahouse to keep bringing a much welcomed newness to our Tampa Bay food scene. Just my last visit, I saw three unique and current items that I just had to try and then thoroughly enjoyed: 1. Shokupan - light, fluffy, hand rolled Hokkaido style milk bread. When you eat it, make sure to cut super-thick slices. Such a rare find. 2. Bubbly Ade drinks- Yes! Those bubbly artisian drinks that you have only seen on trendy Korean YouTube cafe channels is finally here! Wonderful flavors like lavendar or rose lemonades. So refreshing! 3. Rose - I'm obsessed with all of their fragrant rose breads. You MUST try! Like I noted, Zimo is always adding new food menu items, so I follow their Instagram for updates. But, their most classic is their crunchy fried chicken sandwich on their house-made bread. To die for! Can't wait to try their Garlic Shrimp Pasta and Chai Tea Series. read more

To be quite honest, I wasn't sure what to expect when I walked into Zimo. The bakery was clean, the layout is spacious, with cute tables in the front part of the bakery. I was meeting some coworkers at Zimo for a brunch get together. The staff was nice & got our orders quickly. Although I didn't order any baked goods on this particular trip, I did order the spicy popcorn chicken, spicy edamame, & Thai tea. Yes I love all things spicy! The chicken has really great flavor. I could easily see myself eating this after a long days work when I'm really not super hungry, but need to eat because it certainly was more than enough. The edamame was crunchy with the right amount of spice--not too overpowering, but definitely delicious. The only thing I truly could have gone without ordering was the Thai tea. It wasn't bad but it also wasn't very sweet. I think I'm used to having it sweet and so I thought that all Thai teas taste alike; however, I've come to realize that may not be the case. I can't speak to the calamari because my friend ordered those. Overall, I'd say, I'll definitely be back next time to try the pastries & to get that popcorn chicken once again. Hey, I'm even going to try another drink! Until next time....enjoy! read more

Another one of my "never been, have to go" restaurants down! After reading the excellent reviews, and loving this type of food... I was not disappointed! Absolutely delicious dark meat Spicy Crispy Sandwich... juicy and full of flavor. Also order the Sichuan Fries, EXTRA spicy. And they were excellent also... and had more of the spice then my companions did, but not what I would spicy. Just tasty! The buns and breads and cookies here make me glad I don't live closer... or I would be in trouble. I found Japanese style Milk bread (which is some of the best bread I have ever had or made)... and looking forward to trying this. Also picked up a delicious looking Matcha Green Tea Bun with Red Bean Paste... for breakfast tomorrow. YUM! This place is CLEAN... very nice, and the service is superb, very friendly! Yes... I will be back, hopefully often! read more

This is ZIMO Bakery. Not to be mistaken with Zima the wine cooler from the 90's lol This may be the first bakery I've been to and it didn't disappoint. Had quite a selection of items from the Baked Goods to Sandwiches to Milk Tea. Had the Fried Basil Popcorn Chicken which was my favorite out of the items pictured. Also got the Fried Calamari, tasty as well. A Garlic butter pastry, Egg Tarts, and of course Milk Teas! I forgot to get boba though (fail lol) Will have to swing by again next time in Tampa! read more

Zimo, what can I say? I absolutely love this place! My sister and I were craving some Boba tea and decided to try out a new spot and we are so happy that we did! The moment we walked in, I knew that we made the right decision. This well lit and cozy shop was all we needed for the cooler afternoon. The decor was tastefully done with modern and zen touches, which contributed to the ambience of the cafe, even had an IG worthy photo op spot. The cashier and other worker were so kind and patient enough to tell us their recommendation based on our preferences and let me say this...they were spot on ! I had the Taro milk tea with boba (absolutely delicious) and my sister had the white chocolate latte. which were both DELICIOUS!! I also had the pork gyoza which was phenomenal...so crispy, flavorful and filling! The prices and portions were great also! The pastries seem to be a hot commodity as they were all sold out by the time we got there but I'll definitely have to come back to try more things on the menu (popcorn chicken, YES please!!) and some pastries! I will certainly be back and will tell others of this hidden gem! Zimo, see you soon! read more

Wowza! Amazing food, great ambiance and fresh baked pastries! Perfect for groups, day dates and family ventures. I feel in love the lighthearted brightness of the space. Located in a shopping center that has an oriental grocery store, trampoline bounce place and gaming store. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful with no need for additional seasoning. Everything came out pipping HOT! The portions were enough for two people. Although no appetizers were ordered I saw many other clients dishes and I was encouraged to come back and enjoy. read more

Walking in, you see all the bakery goods they have from sweet to savory. All the items looked like such good quality and the place looked very clean and welcoming. I had their basil popcorn chicken which was well seasoned, crunchy and super tasty. I also had there regular milk tea with boba and that was so good. Not too sweet and very refreshing. The boba itself had the perfect amount of chewy too. The service was great and I will be back! read more

Any chance to hit up an Asian bakery will be taken, so Zimo was an easy and outstanding choice! This bakery/ cafe is so sweet it brings some rose to your cheeks and air to your lungs. I came here most specifically because I had heard about their Ube bread and I was dying to try it. Of course, when I went they were out! Though I felt quite sad, I rested my case by trying a taro mochi bread, red velvet cake roll, and brown sugar tiger boba. Most of these choices made up for missing out on the ube (as much as that can be made up for). The mochi bread was moist and delicate, it was super duper sweet and I don't know if it is supposed to be that way but I enjoyed it. It was so sweet I couldn't finish it in one sitting but that's not a bad thing. The red velvet roll was actually the opposite- it was so un-sweet it almost didn't have a taste. That was slightly disappointing. And the boba was just marvelous, as gladly anticipated! It was caramelly and creamy and the boba was soft chewy and melt in your mouth. Overall Zimo took my heart, and you bet your button I'll be back to nab one of those ube loafs! read more

It is about 4.25 stars. Good quality then normal bakery cafe. A lot of selections. I was surprised with many African Americans love this bakery. The bakery look very good. Many Taiwanese style baked good. Price is a bit above average baked good. The cafe section has milk tea, signature drink, coffee, fruit tea and cheese tea. Not many store serve cheese foam tea. This is one of the few. I got the Mango Tornado. This is the drink with fresh mango. It has condensed milk on the wall of cup. Very good decoration. Overall experience is good. Price is a bit high. read more

Being from out of town, it took me a bit to find Zimo from where I was staying but it was worth the ride. The baked goods were fluffy, soft and fresh and as others shared, the red bean filling was delicious. I also bought the rose bun and a Zimo loaf of bread and ordered an iced white chocolate mocha. The cup my drink came in was a good quality, reusable logo plastic cup with a heart shaped stopper. The drink was refreshing, creamy and had just the right amount of ice. Inside Zimo is very spacious and tidy and cute little touches of decor on the tables. I appreciated the presentation of baked goods and friendly service. I would love to try a sandwich next time I am visiting FL. read more

Cute spot in the same plaza as sky zone. I wanted to try yet another new milk tea spot so I decided to give this one a go. I walked inside and the first thing I seen was a little bakery section with all kinds of delicious breads and desserts! They even had a case by the counter that had some beautiful treats. I ended up getting some pineapple bread and also the garlic butter with cheese both sweet and savory. For a drink I got the Taro milk tea with a caramel brûlée top, the drink for me was too sweet and that was before I tasted the top which was actually not bad the drink was sweeter than the caramel. The pineapple bread was good and the garlic bread part was great but didn't love the cheese inside but I would be back try try some more bake goods. read more

When they first opened this place served some of the best food I've had in quite sometime. Lately it appears to have changed ownership because the food went from A+ to D. The customer service is sub par and the food is not so good. We recently ordered the shrimp fried rice and it is by far the worst I've had. The rice was rock hard, I'm not sure why they would think that it was fit for consumption. read more

This place is a super 5 stars not just a 5 stars! I think the only thing that is missing is more decor inside. My mango pomelo sago was so delightful. Thanks Karen V. For your recommendation. I got a handful of buns and they were all good. I would have never picked the rose bun, but it definitely was great. Thanks to Karen and Mark for this recommendation. I thought I would love the Ube bun much more but it was actually my least favorite. Pineapple bun lacked the star flavor Pineapple. Im glad this place is not closer. I would definitely want it all the time. But when I do go, I will definitely stock up. Service here is amazing & cheery. Super welcoming. Will be back in a heartbeat! read more

The popcorn chicken is also really good and I always get the lychee green tea boba. read more

Super good buns and Thai tea [when extra half and half or condensed milk is added], thank you! I really loved the custard bun, strawberry stick, taro mochi bun, and the garlic butter stick with cheese. The pork floss and green onion bun was yummy but a bit too much pork floss for my taste, it was perfect after I removed some. All of my friends were happy to add that extra meat to their pork floss buns so I'm just the weird one lol I also really enjoyed the Oreo cream cheese bun other than the very middle tastes lie cheesecake which I'm not a fan of, my friends who like cheesecake gladly devoured the middle of mine while I ate the outer ring. The cream cheese 3-section bun was pretty good, it almost tasted like cheesecake but not quite. All of the food tasted and felt so fresh, it was wonderful! Edit: the fried chicken sandwich is very good, too! read more
