I need to come here more often. Stopped by bc I had a bday coupon for $5. I ordered the islander fruit tea with strawberry jelly. It had flavors of pineapple, passion fruit, & mango. It also had some fruit like orange, lemon, mango, & apple. It was so good and refreshing and not too sweet. For future ref, I want the boba instead of the jelly. The jellies are tiny and harder to eat with the small ice which I do love. When first walking in, there's a super high menu. It's easier to read the I pad and has clearer pics rather than what I did(took pics of the menu then read it at my table). They were super friendly. Like the bright yellow decor with blossom tree and sitting here is so the the music. Very chill. Great A/C which is a big deal too. read more

Such a cute spot inside! There's plenty of seating and space for groups of all sizes, making it a great place to meet up with friends or hang out for a while. I ordered the Thai tea with boba, and it was excellent. The boba was perfectly cooked, and the tea had just the right amount of sweetness. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back! read more

Hands down, TeaLux Cafe is the best boba spot you will find in Tampa and Hillsborough County. To give you an idea of how I rate boba, my scale starts with Kung Fu Tea as a baseline (for reliable average boba) with Ten Ren being at the tippy-top. TeaLux is definitely up there being a close contender to Ten Ren for the Tampa Bay area. Beginning with the customer service, we are always warmly welcomed whenever we visit. The owner and team are always super friendly and inviting to all patrons. Her bubbly and happy personality is incredibly contagious making it great for adults and kids alike. Inside TeaLux, you will find a fairly open space with seating that range from lounges to high-tops (there is no outdoor seating incase you're wondering). There is a TV that typically stream music videos and an assorted collection of table-top games for you to enjoy while you enjoy your beverage/dessert here. Now for the drinks, you will find the usual categories of milk tea, tea, smoothies, and specialty drinks all of which you can customize. There is one electronic kiosk that you can order from that allows you to visualize the drinks a bit closer. Their fruit teas are arguably strong sellers here, but their signature milk tea also sets the standard. The key here is how incredibly fresh their boba are which is key when you're in the boba game. You really can't go wrong with any of the drinks here. Located on smack-dab in the middle of Waters Avenue, it's about half a mile west off the north-south Dale Mabry thoroughfare. There's plenty of parking in the lot that it shares in the plaza. It's in a great centralized location that services the entire Tampa Bay area. We come here at least once a month since discovering it and will continue to be returning customers. I guarantee you will love it here at TeaLux, so make your next boba pit stop in Tampa at TeaLux! read more

What a lovely experience! I stopped in here with my brother and sister in law to kill some time and we let them know it was our first time in their store. They gave us a great rundown of their menu and it was clear that they had a passion for their store and customer service. They change out their pastry menu every two weeks to keep things fresh and I love that kind of creative expression! They had a good selection of board games and we could've spent hours here. I'd definitely recommend it! read more

Stopped by the day after the BTS concert and there was an event for fans which was so fun. The turnout was very good so there was a line to order and had to wait a bit for drinks. I got the Coconut Milk with Butterfly Pea Tea from the special event menu. The drink ratio was too much milk to tea. read more

The ambience here is fun, warm, and genuinely inviting. We stopped by on a nice-weather afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all, which made the place feel even more relaxed. At first, we were excited about the whole "do‑it‑yourself ramen" experience, but honestly, it left us a little underwhelmed. It was good, but it's basically prepackaged ramen noodles dressed up nicely. In my head, I thought it was going to be fresh or at least a bit more authentic -- especially considering it's not the cheapest meal in town. Now, the boba milk tea? That was delicious. My daughters enjoyed theirs, no complaints there. We just don't live close enough to be regulars, so it's not a spot we'd go out of our way for, but with all that said, we still had a good time. read more

A lovely spot to relax with friends. Drinks are flavorful, and the atmosphere is welcoming and calm.

Great experience. Food was so good, staffs was so friendly, the place was clean and pleanty.

I enjoyed the milk tea here. I tried the brown sugar tea. The Boba was very warm and fresh. The ambiance inside was very nice. They have plenty of seats. The only bad thing was the parking because it was not enough and it was hard to find a spot. The staff was nice and they prepare the teas quickly. read more

We went there as a group and were extremely delighted and amazed. The drinks were top notch and I tried for the very first time a Taro Milk tea with these blackberry type boba balls. I also took a spicy self-serve Raman bowl which the drink help ease fiery soup sauce. Overall we had a great time, if I could recommend something to these folks because at time I'm sure this place gets very busy is to add a second Raman cooking machine. The restaurant only had one machine so we were standing around cooking our food while the others in the group were sitting down eating. Also, they should provide soup spoons instead of teaspoons, this will enhance the dining pleasure. Not sure how much they are, but I'm sure if busy continues a 2nd unit will be available soon. I would recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Raman and these types of boba drinks. read more

While in the area to scout events venues, we were feeling thirsty and decided to search for nearby cafes. After seeing the positive reviews, we settled on Tealux cafe. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful and relaxing ambiance as well as the availability of board games to enjoy with friends. After perusing the menu, we opted for Thai Tea with boba and fried chicken gyoza. The service we received was both fast and exceptional, with the server being patient and helpful with all customers. Our Thai Tea with boba was expertly made and delicious, with the boba being particularly fresh and enjoyable. The Fried Chicken Gyoza was also cooked to perfection, with flavorful and tender chicken inside the crispy gyoza. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with Tealux cafe and look forward to returning soon to try more of their delicious offerings. read more

I went into this place not expecting much, and I was pleasantly surprised! The little plaza this shop is in I will admit looked a bit run-down, but once I stepped inside I was taken aback by how cute everything is! The decor is really clean and modern, I especially love how they did the chairs. Staff was super kind and patient as we took 3 hours to figure out what we wanted. I got the sunset paradise tea which is strawberry and mango, and wow, not only was the presentation lovely but it tasted wonderful. The best way I could describe it was it tasted like fruity pebbles in a good, refreshing way and not in a sickeningly-sweet way. They also had plenty of board games, including UNO which should be required (by law) for cafes to have. Overall, I had a wonderful time getting wrecked at a children's card game while drinking some of the most delicious tea! Please stop by! read more

It is about 4.4 stars. I like the bubble tea here. Good tea for many customers to enjoy. They also have good choices. But one thing for sure, if they can package with toppings and mixed in a set price will attract more customers. We got the tofu desert, the picture shape it in bowl but come in cup. I will prefer In bowl. We did finish the top side with syrup first. We have to add more syrup. Good thing they willing to do it. We also got the Luna drink. I recommend this drink. It is butterfly tea and jasmine tea below. It has lychee flavor and two real lychee. Overall the service is good. The place is Will decorated. They are some comfortable seats and cushion seat. read more

Beautiful establishment. The lights are kept low which is nice & reduces overstimulation! The servers (are they called baristas?) are very nice and patient! Both drinks were delicious. I definitely recommend the Luna tea! I got mine with no sweetness (just preference) and it was so refreshing. The brown sugar fresh milk was mellow and delightful. Highly recommend! read more

Menu was basic boba menu. The drinks are good! They do have interesting dessert/snack menu though. I tried the soft tofu dessert and was a little surprised because it didn't not look like how it was in the menu. Also it's served cold, traditionally we have it hot, so that was interesting, but still tastes very good though. The place itself is spacious and pretty. read more

Super cute place! We were there for a BTS Cupsleeve event. It's a good sized place, as the event only took up less than half of the dining room. We tried a couple of the drinks that were special for the event. The SDL was a mango pineapple fruit tea, and it was amazing. We also tried the Huh? drink. It was so good. We decided to get it without boba, but it was so good. Reminiscent of an Oreo milkshake. The food options are pretty limited, but there are a few choices. We, however, only tried drinks. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Prices are on par with other similar establishments. We really enjoyed this little spot! I'd see no issues with making repeat visits! read more

I've been waiting for this day for the longest time! Following on IG and FB! The day has finally arrived and I'll be heading there to try their tea for their soft opening! This place is literally walking distance from my work which could be a bad thing for my wallet!! Today is soft opening so all drinks are $3.99!! I may just have to double fist some teas lol. Go check out with me!!! So their matcha and most of the milk teas are made ahead so you can't customize the sugar or the milk type. You can get the brown sugar milk tea though and customize that one. So given this I obviously didn't get the matcha. Wish they didn't make ahead of time. However I will be back for their fruit teas. Had the Islander today which is Jasmine Green with mango, passion fruit and pineapple. Love that it comes with fresh sliced orange and mango in it. I ordered no sugar and it was perfect. Hint of sweet and their jasmine is not overpowering if you know what I mean. What I disliked was the amount of ice in this thing. I felt like I got a good 4 slurps of my tea before I literally starting slurping for more because there was no more lol. Next time I'm ordering with very light ice. Overall I really liked this tea and I'll definitely be back. I got the same drink for my staff and they loved it also. Very refreshing! The inside is absolutely beautiful! Plenty of seating and it's very open space. The staff greeted us when we walked in. And they have a rewards program so be sure to pop that phone number in when prompted on the screen. read more

This boba shop boasts a cute and inviting interior that immediately catches the eye. creating a cozy and trendy atmosphere, making it a popular spot for young locals to hang out and enjoy their drinks. However, while the ambiance may be great, the prices of their beverages tend to be on the higher side then others in the neighborhood. Along with most drinks not having the option to come with out boba. leaving some customers feeling slightly disappointed like myself. Additionally, although the drinks are okay,they may not necessarily be the best in town, lacking that extra touch that would make them truly exceptional. Nonetheless, for those seeking a pleasant environment to sip on their boba and hangout this is the place for you. But I can't completely put the store off seeing how I haven't tried there food items, I tried the black tea milk tea 6/10 and a Thai tea 7.5/10. The staff was also really nice i came in an hour after opening to make sure boba was ready and I was greeted by a pleasant young lady, and a really kind older woman. read more

Starting off a fun Friday at Tealux. Another business under new management/ owner and recipes have changed. The teas are not made fresh upon opening and Boba was not available. Why open if you don't have anything ready? Typically fresh brewed tea needs to be used within 8 hours. I came in opening afternoon and she basically told me there was no Boba and no fresh tea. I can't do coffee anymore as it's too much of an energy burst for me , so tea is what provides the slow and steady energy. Previous visits makes sense that I could barely taste the tea or have an effect from it. drinks are either watered down with little flavor or too sweet . I also agree with other reviews of poor treatment to employees as my niece left this establishment. Management could use some lessons and how to maintain your cool and treat employees with respect. They are just kids. Be Kind. read more

The vibes are immaculate. Very cute interior and perfect place to study. The outside might not look like it though. The boba tea is not bad, but I wish their boba wasn't brown sugar boba since I'm not a fan. I appreciate that they let me switch it out for a different topping! read more

Tea Lux offers a unique tea experience! I adore their beautiful and unique teas, such as the Sunrise and the Luna (with whole lychee on top). Recommend ordering with half sugar, so you can taste the tea. My favorite item here is the tofu dessert with extra ginger sauce. The tofu layers are creamy and refreshing. Best toppings here are the classic tapioca and aiyu jelly. The staff is so kind and patient, and the comfy interior will make you want to stay longer and relax. A great place to meet friends and chat or even get some qprk done. Which is a rare find in most local tea shops. read more

We come here all the time for great boba. Tealux is truly such a fantastic hidden gem in the boba scene in Tampa. I know it would be packed inside if it were closer to USF or South Tampa. All of the staff and owner are so nice every time we come in. The drinks are consistently great, never had a bad experience. I highly recommend the Thai Tea of Honey Jasmine Milk Tea. Inside, the store is pretty big with an abundance of seats and tables to choose from. read more

Came on a Friday during their soft opening! Really enjoyed the teas. Generally I like my teas about 50% sweet or Aka half sweeten only. The fruit in all the teas are fresh. The flavor of the popcorn chicken was good. Overall loving the atmosphere and space. Noise level is moderate to HIGH. This space is family friendly. Which drink do I recommend? -- Scarlet with 50% sweetness/ light ice with Lychee Jelly read more

To start off, the ambience in this place is absolutely great. They have a large seating area which I feel is lacking in a lot of boba spot around Tampa. They also have a great taste in music, srsly swifty fans UNITE. Now the more important part their drinks, absolutely delicious. The taro milk tea is perfectly sweetened with the light taro flavor. The Jasmine milk tea is astounding. Perfectly sweetened milky tea paired with the honey. I mean what more can you ask for... THE BOBA. Extremely soft and can tell it hasn't been sitting for days in the back. That said the staff is professional and a very great attitude when asked for recommendations. COME SUPPORT. read more

Great new place for boba drinks and hangin out. They just opened yesterday and drinks are $3.99, I'm not sure how long this discount price is lasting. I really like the interior, comfortable seats and spacious, perfect to sit and enjoy your drinks with friends. Once you get there at the counter there is a self service kiosk/pad on the left side you can use to place your order, the right side is if you want to order directly with the cashier. Staff is helpful and friendly will answer any questions you have. Great selection of fruity and milk based drinks, we tried different several: #1 Scarlet was my favorite, this had a great taste, fruity, floral flavor with hint of citrus #2 Taro milk tea was very good, a close 2nd favorite here, blended smooth, not too thick and not grainy texture compared to other places #3 Islander - good drink taste but I didn't really like the chunks of fruit, it's hard to get the fruit pieces up with the straw For boba, the tapioca pearls is mild sweet and VERY soft, not chewy. The magic boba is hard and gummy like, very chewy if you like that. read more
