37 Best Bubble Tea in Tampa

“A wonderful, authentic Pakistani restaurant. It is so nice to find a relaxing place where you can hear the person across the table in a quiet conversation and enjoy absolutely wonderful food. We drive 30 minutes on a regular basis just to enjoy a quiet meal here. A family run business, where courtesy and professionalism is always present.“

“Visited for the first time today. The gyoza, spicy tonkotsu ramen and minano ramen were fantastic. Love that they offer such variety on their menu - we will be back to try the bao buns and boba!“

“Love the atmosphere and drink flavors. Staff is SUPER helpful and goes the extra mile. My kids and I come here regularly and love it!! Most highly recommended!! Joe“

“The best boba in Tampa, the taste is the same in Taiwan, if you want to try the most traditional tapioca boba, this is the only place for you! The best part is they have made many different flavors of fresh boba everyday 💜“

“Great drinks and tasty food. The staff is really sweet also.“

“I bought boba for my family and we all enjoyed it. The woman who gave us our order was extremely friendly and informative about the food and drinks that they sell. The boba is handcrafted and is very fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was cute as well. I didn't buy a corndog but I will definitely be back to try one.“

“very delicious 😋 great atmosphere and great service“

“The Boba here is top notch! Highly recommended!!“

“Great selection of tea flavors, boba flavors, and smoothies! I went twice on Sunday. I will definitely be back! Nice place to chill with friends. And they have KPOP videos to watch on the TV!!!!“

“dilicious Food, pastry and Boba. They make the food and drinks very fast. Best Boba place in town. Totally recommend.“

“Firstly, what a great location! To place a boba spot in the trendy Midtown footprint was rather mindful and ingenious when it comes to sustaining a thriving business.

Midtown Boba is amongst the few local boba spots in the proper Tampa area that is able to hold its own against the more tenured and reputable boba franchises.

While the taste and quality is nothing overly extraordinary, Midtown Boba definitely has design and image in mind when it comes to branding and eye-appeal. This shows Midtown Boba's understanding of the existing market and how it is necessary to merge these elements with the existing environment. While not related to the food and service they provided, it is a consideration that is sometimes forgone; it's refreshing to see this implementation by Midtown Boba.

Parking in general in this area is a bit tricky - if you're lucky, you may find short-term parking in one of the 6-8 spots right in front of the shop - however, there is free general parking in the lot off Bromley Grand Avenue.

Overall, Midtown Boba provides a decent boba drink to accompany this great Midtown hang-out spot.“

“Loved the lemonade and the Boba Tea!!!! Really nice people!!!! If you see the cute truck, don’t hesitate! Just try it! You will not regret it“

“Super cute atmosphere with so many choices! I love the little kids area and it's so cute and cozy! There's also some adult board games too which I think is a nice touch. I got the Tiger Boba Milk Tea with a Nutella taiyaki waffle and they were both SO GOOD !!! Glad I started a rewards because I will definitely be back (:“

“Went for 1st time today and it was a great experience! The gentleman working was very kind and helpful. The food was hot, fresh and yummy. The location itself is absolutely adorable and even had Uno, Jenga and chess there for playing which I thought was pretty cool! Thank you for a delicious experience trying soup dumplings today, will def be back!“

“Really happy this place changed ownership. The employees are really sweet and helpful, they know the menu well and aren’t bothered to explain the drinks to you. They always welcome you in when you enter the building. The Boba is chewy and the tea tastes great! The earl grey tea is also freshly brewed!“

“Yummy bubble milk tea with cheese foam“

“First time going here, I ordered Thai tea with Bobba and it's so good , I can actually taste the tea and it's not too sweet either. Very good and service was fast and the lady was nice. I normally don't give reviews out but I had to on this place:) will come back again..“

“First time here the food was delicious and the desert is delicious. Nate gave us recommendations and he was spot on! 10 out of 10“

“We stumbled upon this gem for dinner, and wow—what a find! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this team knows exactly what they’re doing in the kitchen. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I even had the chance to chat with the owner, who was incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about his business. 🌮🌯🙌 I love supporting family-owned businesses like this, and this one truly stands out. Highly recommend!“

“NOT EMPLOYED HERE, NO BENEFIT OFFERED, WASN'T PAID TO POST AND NOT BEING A KISS ASS. Just credit to a small business who deserves the credit. This was my first ever visit to this hidden treasure called University Boba. The cutest not so little, was presently surprised at the interior restaurant space. The vibe is also adorable and really clean. Lily is who made my drinks, greeted me as soon as I came in and she was very inviting and really friendly. It was like ordering from a friend not someone who seems bothered you want to order and can't wait to get off the clock. Which was such a refreshing change! I got 2 drinks, 1 was a Charmander which was a suggestion from Lily only difference I added mango popping boba EXCELLENT it's a blended fruity drink 10/10 it actually had more than five l
Popping bobas like most places and drink 2 which I feel like if you're going to have boba the brown sugar milk tea is a staple drink however I must say I have not found anyone in the area that has one that is this delicious the quality of the jelly boba was fantastic with plenty as well so AGAIN 10/10. Lily thank you so much for my first experience and I will ABSOLUTELY BE BACK!“

“This place is truly amazing, the staff is so friendly and helpful, the food here is absolutely delicious and they have so many options to choose from. The place is super clean and simple. The place is very peaceful and a great place to come and relax when needed.“

“Lucky Tigre absolutely delivered. 🌟

The beef and carrot dumplings were the undeniable star. Perfectly tender, deeply savory, and packed with flavor in every bite. Easily the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave.

Service was incredible from start to finish; attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming.

The mochi crispy chicken was another standout; crunchy on the outside, juicy inside, and totally addictive. And the smash burger x pancit collab in a bao bun? Pure genius. Comfort food meets creativity, and it works *so* well.

Lucky Tigre is firing on all cylinders; bold flavors, thoughtful dishes, and top-tier hospitality. Can’t wait to go back. 🐯🔥“

“I can never pass up a good boba while traveling, so decided to stop here. I decided to get the mango tea with lychee jelly and it was perfect for an unreasonably hot day! There's some seating inside, with a small patio outside as well. Our drinks came out quickly and were reasonably priced. I definitely want to come here again the next time I'm in Tampa!“

“Went here after school per reccomendation of my classmates. I had no idea what I wanted and the girl up front was super patient and helped me find something I would like. Ended up with a strawberry black tea with strawberry and blueberry popping boba. OMFG it was so good.“

“Delicious, authentic, friendly atmosphere! They give great suggestions and talk you through the best way to truly enjoy your dish😋 Highly recommended!!“

“Very tasty fresh food. Staff is very nice.“

“The drinks are to die for. Great food, good portions, atmosphere great. Good customer service!“

“Very friendly Nice place to stop at“

“Must try dessert spot! If you love boba, you're gonna love this place. Imagine taking your favorite boba flavors, and your favorite boba add-ins, and putting them in a shaved ice pile. It's like they took the boba drink flavor, made a shaved ice out of it, and then put the boba, grass jelly, fresh fruit, etc. on the side.

It's similar to an ice cream dish, but has Asian cafe style topping options. It's absolutely delicious and it's not too sweet.

We had the taro shaved ice and Love waffle and both were fantastic. This is our new dessert spot! 😍“

“I have enjoyed their dishes thru the years since they decided to expand. Everything tastes homecooked and I love that they post whats on the menu for the day so you know if you want to make that drive“

“Very, very good! I tried it for the first time today, and I’m glad I did. I will definitely be back!“

“The woman taking my order was very nice and helpful. She recommended the a mix of red guava and raspberry in the jasmine green tea, but I was craving peach so I mixed it with the red guava.
It was very yummy but the peach overpower the guava, and it did taste very artificially sweet like other reviews have mentioned. I got half sugar but it was still very sweet.
The shop is very cute and although they have a small menu they still have great options! Everything just needs to be less sweet.“

“😀Great food😀😀😀😀😀“

“The dumplings and baos were amazing. Next time I will try the beef bulgolgi. The yaki udon noodles were awesome, but there was flavor lacking in the whole dish, or maybe I just didn’t care for the fried shallots, which overwhelmed it. On two orders we asked for the garlic pepper sauce on the side, and that did not happen! The bubble tea was awesome. Take out and sit by the water in the public area. So awesome.“

“My mother and I have a tradition of getting different kinds of Banh Mi together, and she was so excited to bring me here after seeing it on the news. We were both very impressed by our experience!

As a starter we had the Grilled Jackfruit Fresh Roll - which had a nice moist rice paper that was easy to chew without breaking off large pieces. Crazy good jackfruit with a smoke to it. The mint mixed with the bright notes of the cucumbers added such a nice kick to the other vegetables as well.

We both had the Kick’n Chicken Banh Mi with spicy mayo - amazing flavor, a fine crispy bread and it was full of jalapeños with some heat (which we love). They were served in bamboo steamers, adding a nice visual flair to our meal.

Given the quality of the food, it was understandable that it took a little bit of time for the food to arrive. If you do go here, make sure that you and your party aren’t in a rush. The staff are all very kind.

It is also a counter service restaurant, not table service. The restaurant is pretty small, and to be honest we were the only other people there so I’m not sure what it would be like busy. However, it was 6pm on a Sunday.

What makes Bamboozle is unique in Channelside/Downtown is that you can bring someone who isn’t familiar with Vietnamese food here and substitute for more American style meats, where some Vietnamese choices don’t have this distinction.“

“While the dumplings are great, they could work on staffing. I liked the concept of this place. The execution could use improvement.

I waited over 25+ minutes for my food (premade cucumber salad that sat and the beef bulgogi dumplings). Two other people who ordered after me received their dumplings ahead of me so I was surprised to wait so long. It wasn't a busy line. My husband had orderd food at another place and had already received his food and halfway eaten before I received mine. Once I did receive my food, the flavors were pleasant.

The serving size for the price was okay.
I ended up ordering more food from someplace else in the food hall because I was so hungry from waiting“

“Terrific place all the way. We love the combo sandwiches. Staff is very helpful and take their time explaining their different cuisine. I also love all their drinks and desserts. The atmosphere, whether you are waiting for a pick up or a take out order, is surprisingly elegant and well placed to sit comfortablly and use your mobile or look at their unique menu and items for sale.“
