📍1441 E Fletcher Ave

Comment SPILL for the full story ✨

When owners Kim Pham and Lan Ha opened Kaleisia in 2005, tea lounges were rarer than summer cold fronts in Tampa. They opened a tea shop in the least-likely area as they “chose the lowest-income neighborhood in the ‘worst’ intersection, 15th and Fletcher” because that’s where change was needed most.

20 years later, it’s a teahouse that people drive across town for. Kaleisia provides a warm welcome to die-hard oolong nerds, boba-curious newbies, and folks just wanting a quiet moment in their Japanese tea room.

MUST-TRY MENU ITEMS:
☀️Tropical sunset tea with lychee jellies
💜Taro milk tea with tapioca boba
🍓Strawberry matcha latte
🍋Lavender Lemonade (summer special)
🥣Korean barbecue bowl (vegan)
