5 Stars -- This Place is a Nerd Paradise I intended to grab a quick drink and accidentally spent an hour dominating the high score board on Galaga--come for me! Whoever decided to serve delicious tea and throw in free Atari games deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. I was double-fisting boba and high scores like it was 1982. Legendary! read more

Manga Tea Shop provides a local boba tea spot for the Carrollwood area to quell the immediate cravings for boba tea. It's eccentric decor and theme makes it delightfully quirky and fun to visit. Understanding that good boba tea (Ten Ren being the baseline) is hard to come by in the Tampa Bay area, Manga Tea is pretty decent. At the time of our visit, the boba-rista was incredibly friendly and genuine - her welcoming attitude definitely suited this business - so kudos to her! The Tiger and standard milk teas served their purpose, but the fruit smoothies stood out pretty well. The menu is a mix of traditional flavors and the neo-bubble drink trend (more toward the latter). There is a decent amount of sitting room at which soft-cover manga publications are situated. Aside from the manga reads, there is also a free single-player arcade and nice pay-to-play claw machine. There are also a few non-beverage/food items for purchase for those anime fans. This is definitely a great hangout spot for those that just want to enjoy other like-minded anime/manga purveyors. I wouldn't be surprised if Manga Tea hosted some local/mini ComiCon event as it would be an ideal venue. Overall, an incredibly kid-teen friendly and safe environment to grab your boba drinks from. read more

If you're an anime fan (or a Naruto fan like me) and love bubble tea, you absolutely have to check this place out. The décor is amazing, with walls completely wrapped in manga and anime art, creating a unique vibe. The drinks are just as great! I tried the mango fruit tea with passion fruit bubbles, and it was refreshing, fresh, and delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more from the menu! read more

Very cute Boba and Manga shop with incredible decor and a free arcade game loaded with classic games. The Boba was good but I'd say a little pricey for the area. They are located in a suburban area between Carrollwood and Citrus Park but priced like downtown or S. Tampa. We went towards closing time and there was one staff member who was friendly and helpful as she was cleaning up. read more

Such a cool place! The vibe, decorations, and full walls of manga of all different kinds involving some of the most epic moments is just badass. The boba teas were delicious as well, the tiger milk tea and cookies and cream are what we tried. Service was friendly. They even have cool little keychains and different things you can buy as well. We will be coming back! They even have a public library where you can bring one and take one and have different manga in there. read more

As a place to get a drink, I think it is great. My drink (honeydew milk tea) was perfectly made. The inside decor is cool, the space was clean, and the service was friendly. As a place to sit & enjoy a drink, I didn't like it. They don't have wifi, which isn't a bad idea if they are trying to encourage manga reading but it doesn't feel like a good environment for that. The tv and music sound like competing noise. They have one sectional couch and the rest of the seats are backless, hard, high chairs that are not comfortable. read more

Very fancy manga wall artwork. Love the ambience. A huge Naruto statue on the front make me like it very much. The day we visit, they have event to dress up. Not sure there is a discount for dress up. Definitely a lot people show up. We were trying their mango smoothie with boba. My wife like their boba but I feel it is not chewy enough. They do have enough brown sugar. Over seven dollars drink but did not buy my favorite for the smoothie. However, I like their mochi ice cream with lychee and espresso. Both are good. I would said they are par in the boba business. Service is ok. A lot young people come to visit. read more

I love coming in after my workout for a strawberry smoothie. It's so delicious and refreshing! Made with fruit juice. Yesterday my daughter ordered the original milk tea and I wondered why she didn't drink it. I took a sip and Omgosh it was NOT GOOD at all. She actually got an upset stomach after drinking some of it. read more

This tea shop is close to my house and has a lot of options. I usually get the passion fruit with boba but this time I wanted to try something different. I got the strawberry milk tea with regular boa boa and light sweetness. It was the perfect treat that didn't leave much guilt. The girls were helpful when I asked the questions about the tea. I like the decor inside it is filled with anime characters and they have free arcade games. read more

We've been waiting for this place to open. We couldn't make it for the grand opening but second day isn't too bad. We got to order right away. I wanted to try the Mocha but they were out. Ended up getting Tiger Milk Tea with boba and coffee jelly. It was pretty good however it was mostly ice so that was disappointing. Cute lil spot for any manga lover. Not a whole lot of spots to sit down tho. read more

I realized this place was next to my gym and I HAD TO try the bubble tea! Since it was after my workout I ended up trying the protein strawberry smoothie with whey and I added regular boba! It was sweet and light and frothy! The boba was delicious. Not hard or over cooked. It was perfect. I'll give them a 10/10 on the smoothie and a 10/10 on the vibes! I loved the decor and I'm HUGE into AOT,Deathnote and Naruto but the biggest part for me was the smidgen of sailor moon they had. read more

This place has been on my list of places to check out for a while, but I just haven't had time to drive to Northdale and check it out. One day, I realized I had some spare time, and it was on my way home. So I got to check it off my list. Mangatea popped up in my Instagram feed a few times, not sure if it was a sponsored post or just related to things I liked pushing it higher into my algorithm. But I had some kind of vision of what the place might be like. And I was a little disappointed. I thought there would be more manga-related stuff going on. Basically, the manga homage is the wallpaper and some décor behind the counter. They also had a bunch of Japanese style sticker for sale for like $1 apiece. It's the same little stickers you can get 60 on Amazon for $8. I did order a tea, and it was really good, albeit expensive. read more

We had a mango smoothy. It was an OK drink. The espresso mochi ice cream was a 5 stars dessert, delicious. It was Friday night. They had a theme party going on. The cashier and the Boba barista and some customers were dressed up as the characters of the particular manga. So it was fun to people watching. While sipping the drink, I read the manga on the wall. The ambience here was very fun. Specially, if you are a manga fan. read more

Loved the interior with the Manga wallpaper. The staff seemed nice. The menu is limited compared to other boba places. I ordered a strawberry green tea with crystal boba. It was average only because I didn't even notice any tea flavor. I would describe my drink as strawberry flavored water. So if that's what you're going for, you'll be pleased. read more

What a fun shop! I love anime/manga and I am so happy to have a place like this to hang out. The walls are covered in manga and they have a ton of cute stickers on display and for purchase, as well. This is a cash-less shop. They offer smoothies, milk teas, and fruit teas, and mochi ice cream, too. I got a 24oz Taro Milk Tea with boba which was yummy, but a lot of the boba stuck together in huge globs. Although that was a downer, I was so excited to be there. Loved all the Naruto everywhere. We went while they had a "Boba and Cars" event which is every 1st Sunday evening. It was a fun time and I look forward to going back. read more

The location was super easy to find with plenty of parking spots. We love their fun interior design wall characters. We also signed up for their rewards program so we could earn points. We will come back for more! read more

I went in absolutely baked. I had looked up this place before going, and seen they had a couch to relax with a tv for Anime. The place was super cute with well known anime's plastered ALL over the walls. The place was little small with so much to look at, so I was a little overwhelmed. When you first walk in you'll see a huge Naruto statue. The girl that helped me was nice. I really came to check out the atmosphere and get boba! I got a honeydew boba and it was pretty mid but the just the atmosphere would make me recommend it to any anime lover! read more

So I've just moved from the UK not too long ago, and I have been dying to find a milktea/boba shops here. But soon realized that there a not much of it here near me. When looking in IG I stumbled a video showing about this shop and it's not far from my BF house and our gym, so I decided that my Bf and I should check it out. The shop outside I just like the average exterior design but when you go inside, the place looks different. It feels like your in a manga. (Brings back childhood memories ) it's too big of a place but it's cozy and cool. Their menu has good flavours, from fruit teas to milk teas, they also have smoothies. They sell mochi's too. What's the best thing about this milktea shop, they don't use milk instead they use lactose free milk, which is really good as lots of Asians are lactose intolerant, like me. (Man, a milktea shop that understand our sentiments as Asian is a lit ) you know how hard to find a milktea shop that give you an option of nondairy, most milktea shop doesn't have those options but knowing this one really made one for us it's THE MAN! I am so glad they opened, now I have a place to go get my milktea here in Tampa. BTW all their menu are good and their mochi's are great. The staff are super friendly and cool. I think the owner is the one also serving you the drinks, so cool! Another thing they also a small corner of anime mercy you can buy which is amazing, if you're an anime fan you can buy some merch here and you can take a photo of a life size Naruto and Gundam, or sit on their coach with a background of the Naruto manga read more

Awesome place. Very cool theme and great staff all with smiles of their faces. Upbeat positive vibes. I like it

I love their Tiger Tea with boba. Friendly service too! My granddaughter loves the strawberry milk tea with rainbow boba.

Went on opening day it was really awesome- stickers available for purchase and everything covered in manga. The boba tea was really good! They are able to make it with just non dairy creamer or lactaid and non dairy creamer. There is vegan mochi. I wish they gave a little more boba for the standard size. Cups are really cool and could probably be reused. I wish they had some outdoor seating. Overall really good experience and definitely recommend. read more

This is a really fun shop. Everywhere you look is anime on the walls. They also sell some stickers and few other small items. We all got milk teas with boba. The taro is always my favorite and this place made it perfectly. Not to much ice but enough to chill the drinks. The ice cream mochi was great. We had cake batter, salted caramel, chocolate hazelnut and passion fruit. All were great but the passion fruit was the best. Definitely will try the other fruits next time. The staff was friendly and willing to help you decide what to get. Only a few tables but wasn't crowded the day we went. read more
