Best boba tea places
Here are some of our favorite spots that serve boba tea in Tampa Bay!
Manga Tea
One of our favorite spots to sip and chill! This is a manga-themed boba hangout with seriously aesthetic vibes. We’re obsessed with their taro milk tea. Grab some mochi on the side—it’s the perfect combo! Seating is limited, so we suggest going during the week to avoid crowds.

A USF fave and total boba legend. TeaStori’s split cup lets you try two flavors at once (genius), and their ube drinks are chef’s kiss. Don’t sleep on the mochi ice cream either—so many flavors, it’s hard to pick just one.
