This is a super cute, small place located in South South Tampa near Bayshore. They are not next to much, so it's definitely important to go support them! They have lots of different fruits and toppings you can add to your acai bowl. They are a bit on the pricier end of acai bowls, but they are worth it to support a small business. It is usually pretty quiet in there, so the service is quick. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area soon! read more

4 stars for a solid boba shop that offers a large variety of acai bowls. We grabbed a doordash, so we only picked up a Thai tea with boba. It was ready once I got there in a little bag and straw. The drink was a little on the sweet side and there was more ice than I'd prefer. The boba was perfectly textured and sweetened, but I think the portion was a little less than normal. There's a little sitting area, as well as parking in the front for the shop. I'd be back to try other items when I'm craving acai or boba! read more

Boba & Berry is a nice little boba shop in the area. I visited with my sister recently and we ordered a vanilla bean milk tea + mango slush with strawberry popping boba. You can place your order yourself here on their kiosk. There is tables with games which is nice if you want to enjoy your drink/food in the shop. I really enjoyed my drink and had no complaints. We had a great experience and I highly recommend! read more

First time I've ever seen a honeydew milk tea This is right off Mac Dill and make sure to keep you rete out for it because it's a little spot next to a yellow food truck. We walked in and was able to order on the kiosk they had which was super convenient. Once it was done it was time for the taste test... the honeydew was so delicious and refreshing for being a milk tea not too sweet just right! The Thai tea is was good as well a little more sweet than the honeydew but both were delicious read more

So excited to have a boba place in south tampa! The store is very cute, clean and well decorated. Has Some seating/tables with games. I got the Thai tea with boba. The Thai tea was sweet, but not a strong tea flavor. The boba seems to be made fresh, they were cooking it when I visited. Boba is nice and chewy, but not as sweet as I prefer. I like boba with a honey or slightly sweet taste and softer. Very friendly service! And will still go back and try the other fruit teas and slushes next time! I heard those are very good. read more

If you are a true Thai Tea and boba lover, than this place is not for you! Most of their drinks are powder and water based, including the Thai tea. For some drinks that's probably perfectly fine. But I'd prefer my Thai tea brewed, thanks. Also, don't expect to adjust the sweetness or milk levels. Everything is already incorporated into the powder. And their boba is okay. I've had better elsewhere. Their store is very cute and the girl working there was very sweet. read more

Cute Boba spot in South Tampa. Friendly staff and you order on the iPad up front (I would prob order online since it was only one person working so it takes some time). I got the mango tea with lychee popping boba 50% sweet. The tea was refreshing but the boba was kinda flavorless. I would deff try something else next time. Their açaí bowls and smoothies looked great. The shop is decorated pretty cute but not a place to really hang out. The machines are loud and it more of a grab and go place. read more

Why 4 stars? Because if you're looking for a sweet drink, you'll certainly find it here. --- --- --- We stopped in here quickly after eating an early dinner nearby. It's a very small place with only a few tables and a small-ish list of food/drink options. We were here for one thing though: boba. I ordered a strawberry slush with strawberry boba poppers. It was incredibly sweet, which I did enjoy, but might request for one level down on the sweetness meter next time. My wife ordered a Thai Tea, which was the total opposite - she wished hers was a bit sweeter. I took a sip of hers after I'd been drinking mine and it tasted like water. We played jenga while we waited and enjoyed the aesthetic of the very Instagram-friendly wall as our backdrop while we waited. I lost at Jenga on a technicality, but I won once our drinks came out and I started sipping on that sweet smoothie. read more

Nice tucked away boba place in Tampa. We're visiting from Sacramento on this beautiful Saturday afternoon and we're just on our way to the hotel. This one has been open since April of this year so it's fairly new. They have a good amount of flavors and options. Slushees, fruity and milk teas. Açaí bowls for food also available. Friendly staff and made pretty quick. I got the pina calada with popping blueberry which was new. Overall recommended good atmosphere with games and nice music too. read more

Cute little acai bowl place with a very limited menu. They have some boba drinks, but they all come from a powder/syrup. I asked if there were any unsweetened drinks, and there were none. My kids liked their drinks, but there was nothing on the menu that I could have with my current diet. It looks like this is a family-run business, and everyone is very nice. Service is on the slower side, but they are new yet. There are three small tables inside, and they each have some sort of family-friendly game in the middle. It'd be a fun place to come for a midday snack with friends. There's a small private lot in front and to the side. read more

My boyfriend lived a block away from this place and we never knew about it til we went on a walk just a couple months before moving out. This place is so cute! And their drinks are soooo good. I drink boba literally every single day and this place is my favorite in South Tampa. I always get the Taro flavor and it's the best taro boba I've ever had. The flavor is just so present and so good. I also tried their melon one and it was also delicious! And their mango one is good. They don't have as many flavor options as other places but I like that it doesn't have an overwhelming amount of options plus everything that we've tried has been delicious so far. And every time we go, the people behind the counter are so nice and so helpful. Boba & Berry is what I miss most about living in S. Tampa!! read more

We ordered the large "berry fruity" acai bowl, and the total came to ~$16. The portion is pretty big, and there is a big portion of fruit on top. However, the acai base is not fresh. It tastes like the frozen acai you can buy at Publix. The base was also not blended well, so the base was a bunch of frozen crystals (see photo), where the base was crumbly & not liquidy...which made the bowl a little awkward to eat. I was so excited to try this new place and be able to support a new local business, but it's as if the owners did absolutely no research before opening this business. Swami juice has a better base, and Soho Juice Co has the best acai base of all. Hopefully, the owners can rethink the acai recipe here at Boba & Berry, so I can give them another chance one day. read more

I was mainly looking for a box of Cadbury Roses, and some hard fruit candies with soft centers. I can't remember the brand name. I ended up getting the Cadbury Bournville bar in the Old Jamaica flavor. I thought it had been discontinued. This is actually the first time I've seen it in years. I also got the Simpkins Mixed Fruit Drops. It's the simple things that make me happy. All tasted exactly as I remembered them to be. I didn't get to hang out at the store long enough. I think that's a good thing, because I would have bought the Cadbury Eclairs and the Walkers Roasted Hazelnut Toffee bars. I'll need to pace myself. I can't wait to return for more goodies.

Sugar Factory - Tampa Bay

•$$$

The flashy and diner-esque Sugar Factory is a restaurant (not truly a full-sized candy store if…read moreyou're wondering) located within the Seminole Hard Rock Casino & Hotel Tampa. It's located on the second floor of the casino space and easy to locate. If you're wondering, the parking garages that are closest to the restaurant are Lucky Street and Winner's Way at the 2nd Floor/Casino level. After walking into the casino, it's a straight shot to the Sugar Factory as it's hard to miss with its bright and dazzling lights. The Sugar Factory takes a super playful approach at the dining experience as it truly makes everything a photo op. From the physical restaurant to the food itself, the patron is immersed in a "gram"-rich environment (light weight mad that the food here is more photo-genic than I am). It appears to be great for large groups and parties/celebratory events. There is a small candy/sweets section from where you can purchase those delectable morsels by the pound, along with other small trinkets. The menu is similar to other bar/grill-type restaurants (comparable to a BJs and even the Hard Rock Cafe). One main difference is in the focus that they place in their dessert/sweets section. The smoothies and ice cream go hard when it comes to flare and accoutrements (as mentioned before, they look more like art work than food itself). These treats do run on the sweet side... (4th wall break - c'mon look at the name). So, if you want to do it for the gram bring yourself and/or the group to the Sugar Factory at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel in Tampa!

We've visited this restaurant twice, and unfortunately, both experiences started the same way. Even…read morethough the restaurant wasn't busy, we had to wait 15-20 minutes just to be seated because there was never anyone at the host stand. During our most recent visit, we eventually walked into the dining area ourselves to find someone. Even after asking for help, it took another 10 minutes before someone came to the front to seat us. The desserts, however, are absolutely incredible. They offer a great variety, and while they're definitely on the expensive side, the portions are huge--one dessert could easily be shared by three people. The hot food, on the other hand, was underwhelming and didn't leave much of an impression. We'd consider coming back for dessert, but the service at the front and the quality of the entrées need improvement.

We ordered: a mango slushie, 50% sugar, with mango popping boba; a Hawaiian fruit tea, 50% sugar, with butterfly pea flower boba; pork soup dumplings and a kimchi waffle. While we were waiting, we were alerted that the waffle machine was no longer working, so we were offered a refund for the kimchi waffle. Fine. There was only one working working until we were able to leave. As such, service was SLOW. I think we waited close to 20 minutes before we had our drinks (the food came out sooner, but I think it was microwaved). The pork soup dumplings were not housemade. Not a huge deal, it's hard to find housemade soup dumplings. But for $9.99 for 6 is too much to pay for frozen dumplings. They tasted exactly like the soup dumplings that I've bought from MD Oriental. The drinks were not good. My daughter's mango slushie was cloyingly sweet and had a weird aftertaste. She took a couple sips then declared she could not drink more. My fruit tea was drinkable but not great. This place isn't close to my house, so we have no reason to return.

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.

Get this one with brown sugar boba. 5. Thai Tea - best Thai tea around! Hands down. Get it with brown sugar boba. 6. Grapefruit green tea slush - a new menu item, secret at this moment. It's my favorite drink! It's the greatness of the grapefruit green tea just in a slush form. So refreshing on a hot day. 7. Passionfruit Jasmine tea - this one has quickly won me over. It's got the sweetness of passionfruit and has that floral of the Jasmine green tea. Perfect combo. I get mine 25% sweet and it's perfect. I've tried the regular boba as well as the popping boba. I'm typically not a fan of boba but the boba here is freshly made and I actually think the popping is my favorite. Be sure to add a topping to your tea!
