Kaleisia Tea Lounge, Tampa FL

I LOVE kaleisia!
Not only do they have AMAZING food and drinks with plenty of options for vegans and there atmosphere is very calming and there staff are always so kind and helpful and make an effort to know me and my friends by name and our orders. I love when Sunday rolls around so I can go back

I love this tea place. The food items are great. Very vegan friendly and staff is great at making you feel at home. Highly recommend.

Awesome place! Very good tea + food. The authentic Japanese room where you take off your shoes and sit is very peaceful and a great place to study or read.

Great selection of tea. This is the best location for bubble/boba tea in Tampa Bay. Fancy loose leaf as well. The food is good, lots of vegan options. But as a non-vegan I still enjoyed the food

Oh my goodness it is so beautiful in there. They have so many tea to select from, smoothies, cute menu. If you're looking for a nice and quiet place to have lunch, this is it!

Best place on earth! The food and drinks are delicious and lots of variety for different teas. The atmosphere is welcoming and you’re always greeted with a smile! Lots of great vegan options. My go to is the tofu basil panini and mango matcha latte!

This is the place my friends and I love to meet for lunch and great conversation. The box sets are fabulous, with an entree, salad, fantastic spring rolls and dipping sauce, a (vegan buttercream or matcha) cupcake and a tea of your choice from their expansive selection. They have many vegetarian and vegan options. The atmosphere is wonderful, with indoor and outdoor seating. You can stop by briefly or stay for hours. My kind of place!
(One complaint- in switching to disposables due to covid concerns, they have opted for Styrofoam, and lots of it. I hope they switch back to plates or at least something better for our fine planet. <3)

My favorite place to eat, grab bubble tea, and study! Friendly service, great atmosphere, and affordable! Grateful to have a place like this around during my college experience.

I came to Kaleisia today with a friend and was very pleasantly surprised! I didn't expect much from the location, but once you go inside its a whole different experience! I had an iced tea that my friend chose, and it was amazing! All of the food looked great. They have a nice outdoor seating area and a quiet room! Staff was also super helpful. I will be back soon!

Great tea and food options! The staff is amicable and knowledgeable! The tea is always made exactly to order and I appreciate that they have a cycling "specials" menu that changes! Great atmosphere for a quick bite or to grind studying for an exam!

I thought the inside of the building and the service was nice. The portion size of the food was small which was a little disappointing.
Not really impressed with the food, and I'm not really a big boba fan.
It's an okay establishment, it just wasn't for me personally.
I recommend if you like a cute interior and boba tea.

The tea is always awesome but today the food was next level amazing - I had the tofu bahn mi and my husband had a bowl and everything was phenomenal. If you haven’t tried this place you have to! We’re always so happy with it, very clean inside, friendly staff! I would share a picture of the food if I hadn’t devoured it immediately

What a gem! Ben, the amazing barista and tea expert, gave us a grand tour of the shop, and helped us with our meal. The store is generously spaced with a dedicated quiet room if you wish to truly connect with your tea. Having such a variety of tea, I was able to find the rare Monkey Picked Oolong, which hasn't been around since Teavana. The food was prepared fresh, with great portions, and made with love. The friendly coworkers, the assortment of quality items, and the dedicated space within the shop make this a neighborhood gem! Their set plates for food include an entree, spring rolls, tea, and dessert, and are highly recommended!

I used to come here over a decade ago while I was in college. It was my favorite spot to study, enjoy a thai tea, and maybe some asian noodles! That hasnt changed!
I try to make it at least once a month, its a nostalgic treat to myself. In my opinion, their tea is just the BEST. I also love treating myself to their food. If you come here for lunch, you wont be disappointed:)!

This is SUCH a wonderful place! I found it by chance when I was looking for a gift for a tea-loving friend, and now I'm obsessed! I stop by at least once a week for my favorite drink. The staff is awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable about the multitude of offerings. Highly recommend, even for people who aren't generally fans of tea (like myself), as there's something for absolutely everyone here.

What can I say about such an establishment. I have so much reverence for the backstory of this tea shop; I’ve been coming here for years. They started of slowly and gradually reached higher and higher. There are so many flavors to choose from and they allow you to create your own combinations, mix and match. They have a quiet room where shoes are removed and minds are at peace. Where there is noise, it’s the very relaxing ASMR noise of a cafe- the sounds of people chit chatting and giggling, the sounds of cups being placed down and tea pouring into them. A custodian of culture, a safe zone for minorities, and a true passion for the craft of tea making all met with dedication to make their consumers well pleased. This isn’t a tea spot, it is THE tea spot of Tampa.
