Boba Tea in Tampa?

[askdrtodd]

Only Places I know of are Kalesia out by USF (Fletcher I believe) and Got Tea on Waters (near Yummy House). Also Saigon Deli has it but they only use half & half and I can never finish one without taking a couple naps.

Any good bubble tea closer to downtown or westshore?

i just googled. okay this sounds good. it's after 9pm on a friday night...and i'm wondering how late Got Tea is open....taro coconut slush here i come....:)

Skip Got Tea and head straight for Kalesia. I've been going there for years (since they opened) and they have yet to disappoint me. Their Boba is the best around, their tea selection is varied and the owners are two great ladies who truly care about their customers.

Kalesia's boba is of the highest quality, yes, but they don't have some of the cool stuff like taro powder, etc (at least they didn't last time i was there)

I would say for a first timer, get a taro milk tea over ice (not a slushy), and explore from there :)

This small place I believe called Thai Market (they're take out and a market) on S. Dale Mabry has bubble tea.

I clicked just to make sure you knew about 'Got Tea' next to Yummy House...

I LOVE their Taro Coconut Slush---- and I've blown away everybody I turned on to it....

The only other GOOD Boba place I know is on Anderson Road near Gunn Highway...

If you're south and have a hankering... Thuy Cafe in St Pete has LOTS of flavors of boba. Can't be in the neighborhood w/o getting a banh mi and tea.

funny you mention, my wife once worked at the dealership across the street there, we've eaten at thuy and the neighboring spots a few times, always good.
