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.
The 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!
Pros: Teas, Asian noodles, Set A

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.
Pros: community, quality, never-ending flavors

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!
Pros: good selection, community oriented, vegan options

One of my favorite places in Tampa - Edit
When I found Kaleisia in 2006 I was amazed: a wall of loose leaf teas, boba, smoothies (half that can easily be made vegan with soy milk), and vegan snacks and lunches. The atmosphere is relaxed and suitable for knitting, reading, studying, or meeting with friends. Every year they host a charity event called Gifts of Love in which they support a local group or a global effort. Past charities include CARD (Center for Autism Related Diseases), Earth Birth, and Community Stepping Stones. Free Wi-Fi and specials all month long.
Pros: loose leaf tea, boba, vegan meals
Cons: closed on Tuesdays, closes at 6pm on Sundays

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!
