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!“

“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 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!!!!“

“5 stars they were patient and when asking question they answer helpfuly. I asked for strawberry slush boba and I forgot to ask for boba after it was done I thought topping ment as a topping but it means like a boba I asked and she gave me the boba aside , very good customer service , and the potato corn dog was very good as well would come here again.“

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

“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“

“It was my First time eating here and it was so good! The portion sizes overall were a great size for the price. Around $55 with Uber eats Texas delivery charges, and driver tip. I had the Birria quesadilla, the large portion of rice, Chips with queso, Tres leches cake, and the Horchata for my drink. I was hungry and I wanted to get the full experience of what the restaurant had to offer. Leftovers are always a bonus! For my first order, I ordered for delivery on Uber Eats. Despite being delivery, Everything was hot, fresh and well packaged. I will say the Birria quesadilla was a little soggy on the bottom, but it tasted fantastic! Some of the best Beria I’ve had. The queso tasted homemade, flavorful, fresh and delicious! The portion of the tortilla chips, took up an entire brown paper bag full! (in my opinion when I order Mexican food for delivery and I see a big brown paper bag stuffed completely full of seasoned tortilla chips, that’s how I know the rest of the food is going to taste amazing!) I love the small detail of the seasoned chips. It’s like putting sprinkles on a cupcake. It’s not needed, but it makes it better. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. My Birria quesadilla came with small sides of guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Even though the food didn’t need it at all and was flavorful and delicious without it. A few small critique I can give is that Tres Leche cake piece that I got was extremely small unfortunately, which I wasn’t expecting. It was only three small bites if that, but it was really delicious! My second critique is, I wish they offered a bigger cup of Horchata like they have the larger option for the Rice. Horchata is one of my favorite drinks, but honestly I can’t complain too much because everything including the Horchata and Tres leches cake was so good! I guess my only complaint is that there wasn’t more Horchata and Tres Leches cake. The slightly soggy texture of the Birria quesadilla I contributed to the fact that it was delivered still hot in a Styrofoam container, & I don’t consider that the restaurants fault. if I was giving a rating I would still give it a 10 out of 10. 100 percent! I will be eating here again, these small critiques that I have would not even change my rating! And I have leftovers so there’s some bonus points!Delicious food with overall large portions for the price!You guys did a great job! Thank you so much for preparing my amazing meal !!🩷 I will tell my friends about this place and bring my family back here to sit at the restaurant next time instead of ordering from Uber Eats for delivery. fantastic food. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“Rachael had some great recommendations and was super friendly and helpful. My kiddo thinks of himself as a boba connoisseur so we’ve tried almost every place in Tampa. After sipping his strawberry lemonade with strawberry boba he said, “This is the best boba yet!” I had the super fruit tea and it was equally delicious. 10/10! Will definitely be back.“

“this spot makes great drinks and has good service… but only when it’s the older lady working. Every time the lady with tattoos has served me, she has gotten the order wrong each time. She’s always on her phone and I’ve witnessed her ignore or make customers wait to be served just because she’s on her phone. I always order the same drink with JELLY, but no matter how explicit I am about saying Jelly instead of boba, she still adds the regular tapioca boba to my drink instead of the jelly. I even made sure to check if she was putting the correct option on the kiosk, and it literally read jelly on it, so tell me why I got tapioca boba instead? I’m not one to leave reviews or complain which is the only reason why I’ve refrained from bringing this up… but it’s gotten quite frustrating and it’s honestly shows her lack of care into what she’s doing. I love this place, just not this particular worker.“

“Nice little shop for tasty beverages. Lots of fruit jellies and boba to choose from. Never had anything here that is less than delicious. They have a little play area for kids while you wait. I wish their kiosk didn't make you jump through hoops to leave no tip, because counter service tip requests are already annoying enough.“

“Lots of choices and you are not limited to amount of the toppings in each category other than the protein (based on how many you choose to start) and the sauce. I'm surprised I saw a couple reviews talk about the less portions and raised price. I thought it was a nice portion for the price. I am very frugal and don't go out to eat much because of the cost these days which is normally $15 and up anywhere you go now! Would I rather meals be $10 or $12 like they used to be, for sure! But those days are over. Here, I was grateful to see it was less than 15 AND healthy! It was only $13.70 (+tax) for two proteins (and we each got two different tuna options, which would normally add more to the price, and it didn't. Definitely the best deal around for poke or food, in general! Definitely going to be a new regular place for us!“

“Yummy bubble milk tea with cheese foam“

“Lucky Tigre is a go-to spot for us now. We’re working our way through the menu and haven’t been disappointed once. Their food, staff and ambiance are amazing, and it’s perfect for takeout, too. They’re so patient to answer any questions and even gave me a heads up that certain items are better eaten on site than to-go. I also love the attention to detail and perfect balance of flavors in every dish, down to the micro greens and toppings. And their teas and coffees are the best! Not too sweet but the flavors really come through.“

“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!!“

“My poke bowl was not only large enough to be 2 meals, and the price was very economical, too. Now, talk about service, it was stellar. It was my first time there & They actually walked me thru the menu....Now, the only thing is.....they are not in ORLANDO, where I live. I Would be a regular customer. THANKS, again for your service 😋“

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

“Very friendly Nice place to stop at“

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

“Came into Tampa from Mississippi to go to an event. Saw Filipiniana Philippine Cafe going to hotel. Told my fiancé I wanted to go there. Amazing service, amazing food. I want to try more of the menu next time I am in the area. Highly recommended.“

“😀Great food😀😀😀😀😀“

“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!“

“It's nice got my hometown foods, Vivian is very nice and friendly to explore every detail in menu, Thanks Vivian. But the price is too high for Taiwanese Shaving Ice, if the price can between $8 to $10/ a bowl, that's we'll be better feeling.“

“If you're wandering around Sparkman Wharf and looking for a quick bite, Dang Dude is definitely worth a stop. We ordered the steamed pork dumplings with fried garlic chili crunch and soy scallion sauce, and they were packed with flavor. The sauce had a great balance of savory and a little heat without overpowering the pork.
The service was just as impressive as the food. Everything came out quickly, and the staff were friendly, personable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy interacting with customers. It's the kind of place that makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk up.
The restaurant has a fun personality, and even their logo stands out. Combined with the casual waterfront atmosphere, it makes for an enjoyable dining experience. They also offer plenty of variety, including vegan and vegetarian options, so there's something for just about everyone.
We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“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.“

“As someone with dietary restrictions, Bamboozle is always one of my staples in the area where I can guarantee that I can get something good and so can anyone I’m with! The fresh rolls are delicious and the salads are not to be slept on! Staff is always kind and prompt, will continue to return! 💚“

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

“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.“

“I recommend the soup dumplings. They were delicious and the ingredients mixed together to form a delicious balanced burst of flavour. The ingredients were of high quality and they were made fresh to order. The service lady wasn’t very friendly or helpful but the food was surprisingly good. The seating area in the corner was private and offered a quieter place to enjoy the dumplings.“
