    Lavender limeade
    Cindi J.

    Very cute place. I ordered lavender limeade and earl grey cookies. Both items were delicious. The drink wasn't too sweet which was good. Service was good. Friendly staff. Cute shop but not a lot of tables.

    bbq entree with matcha cupcake, salad, and hojicha

    I visited here two times within the past week and will be visiting again soon. Ive had the spot saved for awhile and finally went and wasn't disappointed. Their menu has a couple options and a good priced combo meal which includes the entree, 2 spring rolls, a cupcake, chips/salad, and a drink- all for under $20. Their tea options were multiple pages long and they also had plenty of options on retail to buy for yourself. I got the bbq bowl both times since it was so good. Everything is given in to-go containers so it's easy to pack up and I had plenty to bring home. The seating is pretty limited having them inside and outside, but there is a whole study room dedicated for being quiet that have some wall plugs for charging your devices. The lounge is also darkly lit allowing natural lightly which makes it perfect to focus on your work. The only downside is that the ac doesn't seem to be strong so it gets hot inside especially if there's a lot of people. I heavily recommend trying a sweetened iced hojicha latte with soy milk to cool you down! The worker was sweet and explained to me the process of how it's made which I enjoyed learning about :)

    I've been coming here for years for tea, games, and a quiet place to get computer work done. It's been a while but I'm glad I came today and was able to get a soy milk matcha latte with a medium sweet profile. It's a good spot that serves as a 3rd space for those who don't want to be blasted by Starbucks music. It's much more chill here and there's a shoes-off quiet room to lock in.

    Kaleisa has grown up ocer the 30 years I've been aware of them! I came to see the Queens tea, foos for love. Which was put on by friends. Kaliesa closed the eatery and made it a for ticket only show which was awesome. My friend and I sharedd a chicken Bhan Mi and each had a boba coffee. The food was fresh and delicious, the show was a good one and the boba was delectable. Im so glad I went and got to try Kaleisa again

    This has always been a go-to place for studying when I was in undergrad and graduate school. The vibes are so calming and they even have a separate quiet room. The service is always amazing, you feel entirely welcome upon entering and you are always greeted with a smile. Now to the food and teas, this is truly where they shine. They have so many tasty options with many vegan dishes including the spicy red curry which has lemongrass tofu and rice on the side. They have a full loose leaf tea wall and an option to purchase just the tea leaves if you want to make at home (as well as teapots and teacup sets!) I got the strawberry matcha which has fresh strawberry purée at the bottom - such a refreshing drink on a hot day! Parking is plentiful and lots of seating with outlets. Also outdoor seats available as well with outlets!

    OMG, can we just take a moment to admire how beautiful the interior of this place is? One of the first things that caught my eye was their tea sample station--it was such a thoughtful touch! They had different tea options categorized by flavor (sweet, herbal, etc.), and the one offered that day was absolutely delicious. I ordered the vegan curry dish, and wow--it did not disappoint. The heat and spice were perfectly balanced, and it was served piping hot, just the way I like it. I paired it with the tropical tea, which was super refreshing and complemented the meal beautifully. The service was great, too. My order was taken promptly and brought to my table with care. One charming detail I loved was the quiet nook where you can take off your shoes and relax--it's perfect for reading or getting some work done. This spot is definitely a hidden gem. I had no idea it was tucked away off this road, but I'll absolutely be back for more peaceful lunch breaks.

    I'm ashamed that this is my first review of Kaleisia because my husband and I have been coming here almost 3x a week for the past two years! We LOVE Kaleisia! The teas are delicious and the variety is unmatched! Their boba is the perfect consistency. Their food is delicious and made with quality (great vegan options as well). The customer service is authentic and amazing! The owner is all about community. The workshops they hold are very informative and interesting! Basically, Kaleisia is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Tampa!

    So happy I found this place! I brought a 15 year old with me to show her boba for her first time, and this was the perfect place for us. It was super busy for a Sunday around 3pm, so we had to wait a little bit for a table, but it worked out fine for us. There's even a quiet room where you're supposed to go shoe-free, which is interesting. Lots of different tea options, and I like that it's all super customizable. I just got their coconut tea iced, and my mentee got a fruity tea with the popping boba and she loved it. Can't wait to go back! Would be a great place to work/study too!

    Mango Matcha Latte and a Vietnamese Coffee

    K-indness A-mbience L-ove E-levated I-rresistible S-afe I-mmaculate A-uthentic What can I say? These words and so many more describe how much Kaleisia Tea Lounge means to me and my community. As someone who consumes ALOT of boba, Kaleisia stands out. They are consistently putting out banger after banger with perfectly cooked boba. Whether you're a milk tea, fruit tea, traditional tea fan or other, they got something for everyone. And the seasonal menus got my wife and I counting down the days in our calendar every year! Maybe my favorite part about this place is the stellar boba baristas. They are one of the kindest groups of professionals serving TPA Bay. Shout out to Kim's whole team. What are you waiting for? Pull up!!!

    Thai Tea

    On my way home, I felt like having some tea. So, I searched for tea places nearby and found Kaleisia Tea Lounge. The tea lounge was a beautiful place with a lovely ambiance and a great decor. I went straight to the counter to order a Thai Tea with Boba and the service was exceptional. Within no time, I received my order of Thai Tea. It was a delectable blend of perfectly roasted tea and the right amount of boba. I loved drinking my tea at Kaleisia Tea Lounge, and would highly recommend it for tea lovers.

    Viet Iced Coffee and Black Truffle Tea (Seasonal)
    Allie H.

    Most delicious coffee and tea in temple terrace Employees are super friendly and prices are reasonable for the quality! Great study spot but tables could be limited depending on time/day of the week. If it's your first time highly suggest getting the Vietnamese Iced Coffee with boba. It's so good i can't seem to bring myself to ever try anything else

    Their tea is decent but their food is not very impressive. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It's a great place to study or work.

    It's been awhile since I came to Vegan International so I decided to stop by for a quick dinner…read moreplate. This time I went with the veggie platter where you can choose 4 sides. They have so many options to choose from but I went with the collard greens, saffron rice, mac n cheese and sweet plantains. I will say you get a very nice portion for the price. This particular meal was 14.99. It's very filling too. Some other great options are the 3 pc drumstick meal and 2 sides as well as the chopped cheese. If you're looking for a nice hot, filling meal and you're vegan... this is the place to go!!!!!

    Oh My Goodness do I love this place! I enjoy vegan restaurants and this is one of the best for…read moreprepared/cooked vegan food. I love that it is independently owned and that the passion behind the owner's diet and lifestyle is the driving force behind this restaurant concept. The restaurant features online or in-person ordering and they do post specials on this social media accounts. Dining is available as is take-out. I have done both with ease. The online ordering form allows for complete customization of your menu items. One of my favorite things to get here is the gyro platter. The white sauce over the gyro seitan and saffron rice is a hit. I also really enjoy their chickpeas and potatoes and their empanadas. Check this place out if you haven't already! It is enjoyed by many a vegetarian/vegan and carnivore alike! The flavorful offerings don't skimp on flavor and that's for sure!
