I stopped here about 2.5 years ago after my baby had surgery. We live about an hour away, and since then I haven’t stopped thinking about their basil popcorn chicken. Finally had the chance to go back today. I purchased two popcorn chickens, basil Thai fried rice with chicken and two hot dogs. I haven’t tried the beef hot dogs yet, but the popcorn chicken was delicious still. My chai tea was delicious too. Clearly I had to stock up. I only had a bite of the rice since I was full, and I loved the flavor in that too. The restaurant close to my house that used to have it closed, so it had been 4 years since I had basil thai fried rice too. The service is super friendly here. Through their rush, they didn’t hear me say I wanted the fried rice, so they had to ring me up again after I had been waiting for it. They apologized multiple times! It was fine though, they had been busy and they were so good about getting the orders out. I wish this place was closer! Everything about it is perfect.

It’s not the same anymore with the new management. The food is pretty good but the atmosphere and workers are not as nice

Listen, i’ve been coming here since they opened about 2 years ago. I love this place. No debate the best boba around. I went in the other night and the vibes were insane. They were playing worship music and that threw me off. They put the boba on top of the drink? Also, past few times i’ve went and ordered my drink with cheese foam they… forget the cheese foam. Idk what happened but something changed and I miss the old zimos :-/

This bakery is a great hole in the wall in Tampa. All the pastries are really nice. I also liked their chicken katsu, takoyaki, pineapple buns, and this garlic butter pork bun. Unfortunately though, I have to say this is the weakest BBQ pork bun I've ever had. Not only was the sauce dry, it was more onions than meat.
I ordered Brown sugar latte at the counter, but they made brown sugar bubble tea. Upon telling they changed it ,but forgot to put Boba . I Had to come back all the way again just to add boba which i already paid. The girls at the counter seemed very confused and this is the second time that this happened to me. The drink is also very sweet.

I love this place. It’s reasonably priced, clean, and everything is so delicious. My favorite is the hibachi fried rice and a peach oolong tea with boba. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite bakery/cafe in the Brandon area! I’ve tried a few of their drinks like the fruit teas, white chocolate mocha, and slushes and they’re all good so I come back often to try new drinks. Their baked goods are always fresh and one of our favorites is the strawberry croissant. Sometimes they’re out of those later in the day so go early if you want to get some! They have a great selection of food and snacks too. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken is our go-to snack and they have a mild and spicy version, my kids also love it!
Parking: The bakery is located in a large shopping plaza with places like MD market.
10/10 place to get some tasty drinks and baked goods. I always try to swing in after getting groceries

Purchased pepper stake w/ rice and chicken udon. Two drinks: sugar espresso and coconut latte. Also purchased an assortment of baked goods. Food is delicious and fresh. Service was fast. Drinks were not my favorite so I will pick something different next time. The coconut flavor had a soap-like after taste. Overall, I am happy with experience and will return.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Loved the Zimo Classic Milk Boba!!!!!! It was thick, and the Boba was soft, velvety, squishy, and perfect!!!!! The rice noodles chicken was also very tasty and fresh!❤️❤️❤️❤️
