36 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 💜“

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!“

“My fav place in midtown. Ik they hate see me comin bc i j cant stay away. Yes GAWD. Always making my drinks with so much love, and very attentive with my order complications. Its the effort the staff puts in that really makes a difference in the quality of my drinks and im always left with my mouth watering from satisfaction. They can meet my high standards for boba- as i am a connoisseur. #MTB4eva“

“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!“

“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“

“Yummy bubble milk tea with cheese foam“

“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!“

“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!“

“Lucky Tigre was exactly what I needed. Being from California, one of the things I miss most is the incredible diversity of food and the ability to find authentic flavors from so many different cultures.

Although Florida has plenty to offer, especially when it comes to Caribbean cuisine, I still find myself missing the variety I grew up with. Lucky Tigre definitely helped cure a little bit of that homesickness.

We ordered the beef lumpia, chicken skewers, mochi fried chicken rice plate, pulled chicken adobo, and a calamansi lemonade. Every single item was outstanding.

The lumpia was crispy and flavorful, the chicken skewers were perfectly seasoned, and both rice plates were packed with rich, comforting flavors that tasted like they were made with care and attention to detail. The calamansi lemonade was refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

What stood out most was how balanced and authentic everything tasted. Nothing felt overly complicated or trendy for the sake of being trendy …it was simply delicious food executed really well. Every bite was flavorful, comforting, and satisfying.

For anyone craving Filipino-inspired flavors or looking to try something beyond the usual options, Lucky Tigre is absolutely worth a visit. It’s the kind of meal that not only fills your stomach but also brings back memories of home. We’ll definitely be 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!!“

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

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

“Very friendly Nice place to stop at“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I'd give it 4.5 stars if it were an option. The food made it 10 stars, the prices were reasonable, but the service was horrible...my perspective. The girl was no help choosing food, when asked for recommendations she said whatever you want. She was clearly unhappy in her job. But the FOOD the food was great. The roles were amazing and a large amount. I'm a HUGE sauce person and needed no sauces at all because the food was so flavorful.
I will crave this food and go again, just don't expect any help.“

“Stopped here overnight to catch a flight decided to head to sparkmans wharf for a bite and I got the steamed pork dumplings. I absolutely love them and would order again. Also snagged a delicious and very sweet mango and peach popping boba tea“

“😀Great food😀😀😀😀😀“

“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.“
