spring123March 27, 2016Just 5mins driving from USF, many USF students choose here for their group learning. There are tatamis and outside tables. You can order taro milk tea and sandwiches or panini, delicious!
- Team 727April 6, 2017Close USF with an authentic feeling. A tea lounge with Japanese Tea room for studying. Has a full menu and lots of vegan options! Recommend the Chai Tea with Boba and the Brie and Pear Sandwich.
- Terika WakefieldAugust 13, 2019Welcome tea lovers! Iced or hot, boba or Matcha, choices are endless at Kalesia. The strawberry matcha latte is photo worthy and the mango smoothie in a TEAtanic size is perfect on a hot day!
Laura LocketAugust 4, 2013Amazing place! Visited with my friend who is a vegetarian. I've tried vegan/veggie restaurant before but I never feel full afterwards. This place is affordable and the food is filling. Great interior!
My mom and I discovered Kaleisia 7 years ago and we've never stopped coming. This place is great- wonderful tea and smoothie selections along with good food. Great place to study as well!
Get the vegan banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) offered only on Sat/Sun only. It's yummy. They offered only the best teas/drinks & the staff are super friendly. A real gem in Tampa. I love this place!!!
Always a pleasure going there. I literally only go for tea here, and have gotten friends to become addicts such as myself. The vibe is awesome along with the staff,food,and tea.
Jordan ShultzAugust 4, 2013So good! New favorite spot in Tampa. Perfect place to study or just hang out with friends. I highly suggest the Almond Biscotti tea and vegan spring rolls.- Ilana MarshallNovember 4, 2013The shoji room is a great place to study and get work done. I highly recommend the Belmora signature blend and Luminescent moon - both hot or cold, moderately sweetened.
Take your time to smell all of the specialty teas before you decide which one to have them brew. I love the flavored teas iced w/ boba & lychee jelly (no milk). This place hand-crafts each cup of tea.
Kimberley AsanteJuly 12, 2015I really like this restaurant. They have great tea options. I wish they would switch up their menu a bit. After coming there a few times there are not that much options left.
Charlie L.August 8, 2014Nice, quite place to enjoy some tea and play a board game or two, if you have time. Staff is kind and quick to bring you your order :-)
Carlos FloresAugust 10, 2013My favorite place to get tea in Tampa. The atmosphere is laid back, staff is friendly and welcoming, and there is always a great selection of teas available.
Jonathan FudgeAugust 27, 2013This is a great place to go when you want to hang out during the day and just grab a tea and relax. They also have food!! Amazing!
Best place to work if you're a freelancer or designer. Hands down most relaxes environment and everyone is EXTREMELY nice. Decent internet speed and easy to make new friends!
Amazing tea! Very calm and relaxing environment :) Creamy toffee and mango blossoms are my favorites ! Must try the paninis too !- Their White Peony Tea, medium sweet, iced is really dleish! Bit on expensive side but you won't regret it! If the owner Kim is there, say Hi, she is really friendly & knows so much about tea brewing!
- Gururas KhalsaOctober 29, 2015Pumpkin rooibos latte is SO delish & seasonal. Leaves SBUX in the dust
Hooked on the taro smoothie w/ boba...but everything I've tried is great! Great atmosphere too.
This is the place to drink tea and relax if you're in the tampa area.
Start a conversation with the lovely people behind the counter. You will never regret it!
Pumpkin spiced latte is too die for! All the pumpkin teas are memorable!:)
- Try the fruit smoothies without any added sugar- sooo refreshing esp the Honeydew:)
- Love love love this place. Great vibe and I love smelling all the teas before I choose.
Moroccan mint with lychee jelly! Medium sweet! Always good
Kiera BApril 5, 2010If you want do an after work/after school get-together with a small group of friends, the couch & chairs towards the back are plenty cozy.
Asian noodles with chili and peanut sauce! Ermahgerd!!!!!
Nothing beats the cold like their hot spiced chai! Grab one and relax for a while. The hotter months call for a taro treat, iced.
Mercedes AustinJanuary 29, 2012I like the Misty Mango smoothie with double- sometimes triple Boba!!!
Blended spiced chai if you want Thanksgiving/Christmas in a cup!
Joe Murphy LibrarianDecember 20, 2010great tea and very good service. sample the teas on the wall by smell
Good tea selections and boba tea. Desserts are good but food is average
