👍👍 This is the best Boba I have ever had. Best flavors are lavender and taro if you enjoy sweet flavors. I come here once a week and the people are wonderful! You also earn points for free drinks and their prices aren't crazy! Best place! People often mention boba, milk, Boba, drink, friendly, great, flavors, drinks, games, atmosphere,

    Delicious drinks here!! The Boba tea is scrumptious! They have so many different flavors of teas and of boba! I really enjoyed the honeydew milk tea with the blueberry popping boba!! It was very refreshing. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! Probably the best Boba I've had so far in Tampa.

    I tried Chewy Boba Company today and I was not disappointed. I went right after a walk and the tea was so refreshing. I love the atmosphere that's very cozy and welcoming. I love the creative seating and the inclusion of arcades and board games. If I'm ever in the mood for some great boba I will definitely think of this place. I will say that my friend got a strawberry tea and it tasted like an air freshener 😞. That was the only bad thing about my experience going there.

    Chewy Boba is the single best boba tea shop in the area. After my first visit I became a regular customer and have thoroughly enjoyed every trip since. Their menu is massive, not to mention the staff members are familiar with many tasty combinations not listed. They have excellent recommendations for newcomers and regulars alike. Most of these recommendations have quickly become my favorites. They have a very nice, open space for their dining area. The walls have been expertly painted, and the store is decorated with all kinds of pop-culture paraphernalia. The seating is also very generous for a boba shop. Where some similar locations barely have any to walk into, there's always space here to sit back and relax, even during their busiest times. Some even like to come here to study in their free time, but most are just here to hang out. The pricing is great. Some boba shops reach $10 for a single drink, but this one sits between $4-7 even with extra toppings. Not to mention they have a rewards program, and a discount for any students at USF. They have fast service times, a knowledgeable and passionate staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. This is the only place to be for boba. And no, this is not a bot or a paid advertisement. I just really like this place. Seriously, it's that good.

    The Taro milk tea here is consistently always good, I'm not sure why Taro is so difficult for boba shops to get right in the area, considering its usually the most popular drink. Staff is very friendly too. Good hang out spot for studying.

    I have been to boba shops across the country, especially in California and Florida and this may be one of the best shops I've been to. They are clean, courteous, have a ton of great options, there's space to hang out and even some arcade games. I am happy to have found something so close to where I live.

    Visited Tampa this past weekend, and quickly fell head-over-heels for Chewy Boba. I had the classic milk tea with boba each time, it was delicious! The boba was perfectly chewy. We also tried the macarons, we were highly impressed! The nerdy environment was just there cherry on top, I can definitely see this as a great hang out spot! I'm back home in PA now and already missing Chewy Boba!

    One of the two best boba places I've tried in Tampa If you live in the USF area and you're a boba lover I'd recommend coming here. This is my favorite place for delicious bubble/boba tea. There are so many fun flavors to try! It is such a cute place and the employees are wonderful. I highly recommend it!

    This place is awesome. Very clean. Very well taken care of. Clerk took our order very quickly. Drinks came out fast and tasted amazing. Me being my clumsy self, knocked over my completely full drink and had to watch in horror as it exploded all over the floor. Employee grabbed a mop, cleaned it up with no complaints, although I'm sure he was irritated. I had every intention of buying another drink, but to my surprise he made me another at no charge. That's some amazing customer service in my book. Staff was super friendly.

    Addicted to the drinks here. I get the Okinawa milk tea and the Thai tea- I prefer Okinawa from this shop as the Thai isn't milky enough for me. Okinawa is perfect and tastes like brown sugar and froth. Good place to study and hang out with friends when it's too rainy for a park, too. :)

    What a cute place!!!! A definite for locals to come and study, relax, play games, find nerdy friends, have some mochi and boba and get stuff done. Very friendly staff who know their boba and great tasting beverages. A must.

    The NICEST employees!! From the checkout person to the person who handed me my drink they were both genuinely nice! Also their Thai tea is pretty good too 😋 some other boba places Thai tea taste is off but theirs is spot-on!!

    Fantastic and aesthetically pleasing loft-style little boba shop with mochi ice cream and macaroons of different flavors. There’s gorgeous street-style art on the walls - perfect for taking that picture perfect Instagram post. Loved the Florida Sunshine slush with Mango popping pearls! ☀️

    Our favorite Boba place in Tampa. We don't know why, but the boba here has had the best flavor out of all the places we have tried. Most importantly, the atmosphere allows my husband and I to bring and play some of our board games. We love it!

    Great place if you want a Boba drink. We popped in just to get my daughter macaroons. The young woman who served us was patient with my daughter (8) as she counted out her money to pay sweet treats.

    Cute place, warm feeling indoors and the drinks are pretty nice

    The macaron tastes good and great as gift. It's thick and has strong flavors. I tried strawberry and Nagasaki milk tea as well. Milk teas are flavorful but too flurry with excessive foam. I think they are using cold steamer that I am not a big fan of for milk tea, not cappuccino.

    I am a regular here at Chewy Boba. I usually come at night and recently there has been a certain female employee who would take my orders for me and my family and somehow make it my fault that the order is bad. Of the three instances, tonight I asked a large Lavender milk tea with boba and Mango milk tea with boba and almond milk instead of regular milk. For the large Lavender, somehow I got a regular instead and when I asked for a correction, the lady goes “Oh? Was it?”. Again, this is the same person who took my order. Proceeds to change the drink to a large but when my family member tasted it, they tasted that the rest of the missing drink has been filled with what tasted like sink water instead of just putting more lavender milk tea. As for the Mango Almond Milk Tea, I ordered it like that because I have lactose intolerance. As I’m writing this review, I’m sh!ting bricks in my toilet, meaning they did not put almond milk, but instead regular milk. I have stopped becoming a regular due to the recent behavior of this employee and tonight has really been the last straw. No other employee has behaved like this and it’s very unfortunate that this employee has lead me to the decision of not returning anymore.

    One of my favorite places to go for boba! They have a lot of options for what to get and how you want it. Never tried the macaroons though, $2.50 each is just a little too much for me. But the drinks are really good and the staff is super friendly! Great place to go with friends and I love the atmosphere :)

    as a boba fanatic who's tried MANY places and in different states, this remains one of my go to spots for boba. very polite and friendly staff every single time I've come here, but the boba and variety is OUTSTANDING. you can also sign up with your number to get points towards a free drink, I strongly recommend this place if you're a boba lover or new to it!
