    This place is very nice. Amazing atmosphere and great place to sit and study or have tea with friends. I didn’t have the food but I did have the mango matcha latte which was very delicious. Also had their tropical herbal tea that has coconut in it, it was very good. Great friendly and helpful service.

    On my way home, I felt like having some tea. So, I searched for tea places nearby and found Kaleisia Tea Lounge. The tea lounge was a beautiful place with a lovely ambiance and a great decor. I went straight to the counter to order a Thai Tea with Boba and the service was exceptional. Within no time, I received my order of Thai Tea. It was a delectable blend of perfectly roasted tea and the right amount of boba. I loved drinking my tea at Kaleisia Tea Lounge, and would highly recommend it for tea lovers.

    Such an awesome little tea lounge! Great tea, great service and a awesome atmosphere. I had the mango matcha tea and it was really good! Look forward to coming back and trying out some other tea options as well as getting to try out their food! The food all looked really good. Great place to just study, relax or hang out with a few friends.

    What a gem! Ben, the amazing barista and tea expert, gave us a grand tour of the shop, and helped us with our meal. The store is generously spaced with a dedicated quiet room if you wish to truly connect with your tea. Having such a variety of tea, I was able to find the rare Monkey Picked Oolong, which hasn't been around since Teavana. The food was prepared fresh, with great portions, and made with love. The friendly coworkers, the assortment of quality items, and the dedicated space within the shop make this a neighborhood gem! Their set plates for food include an entree, spring rolls, tea, and dessert, and are highly recommended!

    Friendly staff. A study bug’s home for relaxation and place to get work done. This has been one of my favorite study and tea spot for years. They have a large selection of loose leaf teas and tasty food. They are also able to make and customize other bubble teas I request (one recent favorite of mine is Thai tea boba with a shot of Vietnamese coffee… it’s stellar I promise). It’s so nice to see the store back open since covid and I’m happy to be able to use their wooden “quiet room” to study again. Such a cute shop. Definitely take any tea fanatics here for a tasty treat!

    We chose pistachio and mango boba tea, both were very tasty and made from real mangoes and pistachios. They have friendly staff, a quiet tea room, a wide selection of tea and cute cups and teapots for sale.

    This is SUCH a wonderful place! I found it by chance when I was looking for a gift for a tea-loving friend, and now I'm obsessed!! I stop by at least once a week for my favorite drink. The staff is awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable about the multitude of offerings. Highly recommend, even for people who aren't generally fans of tea (like myself), as there's something for absolutely everyone here.

    Came here on a whim since it's near USF. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Decent vegan food menu and enjoyed the mango matcha milk tea. Was not expecting the 和室 inside, but it adds a lot to the vibe. Would recommend if you need a place away from home to study (or grade, if you're me).

    I came to Kaleisia today with a friend and was very pleasantly surprised! I didn't expect much from the location, but once you go inside its a whole different experience! I had an iced tea that my friend chose, and it was amazing! All of the food looked great. They have a nice outdoor seating area and a quiet room! Staff was also super helpful. I will be back soon!

    The food and drinks are amazing. However, I had a horrible experience in the study room. The male employee with glasses today lingered in the study room for over an hour with a customer chatting up a storm with extremely uncomfortable topics. The room has several signs indicating that it is quiet study area but apparently to some employees that doesn't concern them. This employee made comments about race, religion, and sensitive topics. Not only is there supposed to be no talking in the room but he was making me and my friend so uncomfortable that we resorted to sitting outside in the 95 degrees heat to do our work instead of being able to utilize the study room.

    Food, drink, and service all were amazing! Many vegan options! Very flavourful! I'll be back!

    My all time go to place for tea and boba! Perfect chill place for laptop work and quiet catch up spot. All the workers are quite knowledgeable on all the teas if you need ideas what tea to drink. My favorite thing about their teas are they’re are all flavorful and natural tasting. They don’t use any artificial flavoring.

    I have been coming here for 4 years. This is a vegan friendly loose leaf tea Cafe where it is peaceful to study. The staff are amazing very personable and helpful. They do have boba for boba lovers such as myself and just about every drink you are able to customize. True tea lovers need to stop by this place you will not regret it. Oh and before I forget they have the cutest tea sets!!!! You are welcome in advance.

    I love thai tea and this is one of few places that brews it without sugar for customers like myself. Customer service is hands down a 5 star rating. Great food and tea. You can't go wrong going here.

    The crew did some excellent and honest work a few weeks ago. Within 20 minutes of arriving, they had everything set up and were working. They didn't waste any time and worked nonstop throughout the day to complete the task. They made certain that everything that needed to be cleaned was done so. They installed 6 new switches and a dedicated line for the outlet that needed to be replaced. Grand Electric Contractors is someone I would recommend to anyone who needs electrical work done.

    This is one of favorite places to eat or take out healthy, delicious food. They have a relatively small menu but everything we have tried is very good. If you like a variety of teas, this is the place for you.

  • 1/5 Jamila 9 months ago on Google
    Pretty nasty experience just now. I believe Jen is the manager? According to her, the cafe does not have a policy in which the customer can exchange a drink/meal they found dissatisfactory. You have to purchase the new item, even if it’s the SAME price as the item you’d like to return. The cafe needs new management, as I can’t think of any cafes that practice something as idiotic as this. The cashier was pleasant. From her facial expressions, she probably thinks Jen’s opposition to customer service is as ridiculous as I do. Do better folks.

    Love love love this place. The food and teas are delicious and they have many vegan options! Deducting a star because they use styrofoam and plastic containers and silverware even if you dine in. Other small businesses have found more sustainable ways to package their food so there’s no excuse.

    Ordered their regular sized Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (total $6) and it's absolutely comparable to the drinks back in California. Prices are reasonable and I love how everyone here respectfully wears a mask. The environment is quiet and clean, perfect for a long day of studying. I also like how there's a quiet room for those individuals who want to keep their focus. Definitely will come back in the future!!

    I've been coming here for a long time and watched them grow. Kaleisia is easily the best tea in town (some of the best I've had ever!) and the food is always fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is calm and lovely.

    I love this place! My hubby and I enjoy stopping here after our appts nearby. Their boba tea flavors are delicious! I had a watermelon juice since I cannot have caffeine anymore and they added boba to it for me and I also loved it. Their korean BBQ sets are my absolute favorite to eat! I also love the pickled cabbage and cucumbers that comes as a side. We've had soups and panini, matcha cupcakes and hot tea, curry, etc..... we've never been disappointed. I looooove their spring rolls! Wish they were open a little earlier in the am and that's my only complaint! Also wish there were more locations! (Maybe one in Pasco ;).

    I ordered boba tea for my son ToGo , while enjoying the dining in with my daughter. When I went back to the counter and asked to keep the ToGo boba tea in the refrigerator, the lady she made me a fresh drink upon leaving the restaurant. That is perfect customer service plus it tells me that they take their boba quality seriously. This is my second visit, great choice

    The tea is always awesome but today the food was next level amazing - I had the tofu bahn mi and my husband had a bowl and everything was phenomenal. If you haven’t tried this place you have to! We’re always so happy with it, very clean inside, friendly staff! I would share a picture of the food if I hadn’t devoured it immediately 😂

    best place on earth!! the food and drinks are delicious and lots of variety for different teas. The atmosphere is welcoming and you’re always greeted with a smile! Lots of great vegan options. My go to is the tofu basil panini and mango matcha latte!
