My Fiancee shared her favorite tea shop - Edit
This shop is phenomenal! I enjoyed the drinks and food here SO much!! We got the combo meals including a Bahn Mi with Korean BBQ Seiten with Vegan Spicy Mayo, Spring Rolls, Side Salad, a Chocolate Matcha Cupcake, and a Vietnamese coffee with oat milk and Boba. My fiancee got the spicy red curry with rice, Spring rolls, side salad, buttercream cupcake and a thai tea with Boba. You have the choice to get either a side salad or veggie straws and then a matca or buttercream Cupcake with the combo. The staff was kind and helpful. I will be back here for regular visits!

Good food great atmosphere - Edit
The menu was at least 90% vegan. The shop sold cute stickers, totes, and plenty of tea supplies. The food was good, but not amazing. The curry was my favorite- Asian noodles seemed like they were just noodles, tofu, peppers, and soy sauce. Personally, the teas were not my favorite, but I still enjoyed them. The vegan cupcake was probably my favorite part! The restaurant packages everything to go, making a lot of plastic waste- the biggest reason for the 3 stars. Overall it was a nice place and I would definitely come back!

Very cute place with plenty of options! - Edit
This place is super cute! They sell all their teas with default being soy milk (they also have almond milk I learned). They have a cute vegan menu with Korean BBQ chicken and paninis. Girl I went with loved their Korean BBQ chicken and I enjoyed the Spicy Curry (honestly not that spicy though). It’s a cute setting and not bad portions. It’s a lil much…$15 for everything in the picture (I guess that’s not a whole lot but I’m also used to being cheap). They also have vegan cookies at the front and sell the cutest little tea pots. The Strawberry Matcha was amazing 10/10 recommend.
Read morePros: Great food selection, Adorable setting, Soy milk is Default !!! Don’t have to sub dairy
Cons: Costs a lil much but not too bad

Healthy with good atmosphere - Edit
Yummy food, had the vegan banh mi. Happy to get some vegan food out that is filling and also has a lot of veggies involved. Staff was very aware when it came to my allergens. Will definitely be back.
Read moreA bit disappointed that they only do styrofoam to go containers. Non-reusable/compostable to go containers seem to be a trend in Tampa.

Many vegan options - Edit
They had many vegan options from entrees to dessert. I’ve had two of their plates, and I highly recommend the vegan Korean BBQ.

Relaxing fast food - Edit
I loved their many tea options & that you could get extra large sizes. They also had almond milk; my favorite. Many delicious healthy vegan options. They also had vegan cupcakes! For a fast food atmosphere the ambiance was very relaxing. I look forward to eating there again & bringing my family.

I’ve been going to Kaleisia for about 20 years. The food is remarkably consistent, delicious and perfectly portioned. The dining environment is welcoming and generally quiet. Can’t go wrong with any of the teas.

My favorite tea house - Edit
Always delicious, the selection can't be beat, the tapioca is always fresh, and the staff is amazing. A really nice place to study, especially the lounge. The food selection is very vegan-friendly and the cupcakes and pumpkin soup are my go-to. They also host events all the time, like donation yoga classes and jazz nights.

Best chai latte I've ever had - Edit
So I'm a tea fanatic, as is obvious from my handle. We had the vanilla chai latte (almond) and thai iced tea (soy), and both exceeded the equivalents I've had elsewhere. My partner and I were both in heaven at this place.
Read moreThe latte definitely reminded us of ginger cookie coconut ice cream.

Another love of ours.... - Edit
We love Kaleisia teas. We buy the Jasmine green and others often to take home. We also love the food here. Our favorite order is the Set A: Asian noodles with cubes of tofu, spring rolls (not fried) wrapped in rice paper, a cup of tea and an amazing cupcake for dessert. This meal is so good that the we order it every time we go. Nothing compares!

one of my favorite places - Edit
On a hot day or a cold day you can find the perfect tea to go with your vegan chocolate cupcake or a bowl of their satisfying pumpkin soup. This is a place to go no matter what you need. Go alone to relax or study, go with friends, or a date. Get something sweet or savory. And leave with a smile.

Love this place! - Edit
This has been one of my happiest discoveries since we moved. It's small, but very cozy and welcoming. They have a great selection of teas and smoothies (the bumpin' red bean is wonderful!), and their menu, while limited, is very tasty. I often crave their pumpkin soup! Very friendly service, knowledgeable staff, plus great community events for the locals (tea ceremonies and seminars, open mic night, art shows, etc). Love em!

A Tampa Gem - Edit
I'm a regular at Kaleisia and the service is always quick and friendly. The menu is small, but every item is tasty, fresh, and purely vegan or vegetarian. Of course the tea, smoothies (try the boba!) all rule!
