For 20 years, Kaleisia Tea Lounge on East Fletcher Avenue has been Tampa’s go-to spot for expertly crafted milk teas and boba favorites.
Founded by Kim Pham and Lan Ha in 2005, the cozy lounge chose a low-key neighborhood to build more than just a business—it created a welcoming community hub.
With nearly 100 teas to customize—hot, iced, sweetened, or with boba—Kaleisia’s menu is a milk tea lover’s dream. Their vegan Korean-barbecue bowl adds a delicious local touch, making the lounge a full experience.
More than tea, Kaleisia invests in community projects and hosts events like art shows and workshops. During COVID-19, fans worldwide helped keep the team afloat, proving the power of communi-tea.
Celebrating two decades, Kaleisia offers special anniversary teas and a pay-it-forward board to share kindness one cup at a time. Whether you’re new to milk tea or a longtime fan, Kaleisia is ready to welcome you home.
