The Dessert Cafe TeaStori In Florida Has A Giant Mochi Ice Cream Bar

If you've become familiar with food trends over the past few years, then you've probably already been introduced to things like mochi and bubble tea, or boba tea. But if you haven't, then get ready for a whole lot of sweet treat fun. TeaStori is a new Tampa shop that sells sweet bubble tea, colorful macarons, and mochi ice cream. Bubble tea, for anyone unfamiliar, is a black tea drink combined with creamy milk, ice, and chewy tapioca pearls. It originated in Taiwan in the early 1980s but has since swept the globe. Mochi is a bit different, as this Japanese rice cake has a sweet, chewy outside and a flavored ice cream center. What do both of these things have in common? They both are oh-so-tasty and can be ordered until your heart’s content at TeaStori in Florida.

TeaStori in Tampa, once known as Bobacup, has developed quite the cult following since opening up in 2015.

Known as the premier boba tea shop and dessert cafe in the city, visitors will be able to indulge in some sweet international treats.

Picture a wide assortment of beverage tea options from milk teas, fruit teas, split cups, and more.

But perhaps one of the main draws for dessert lovers is the fact there is a self-serve mochi ice cream bar.

The flavors in the mochi bar have a few classics like chocolate, coconut, espresso, and vanilla chip, but then get a little wild like black sesame, mandarin orange, vegan lychee, Nutella, and chocolate cherry.

In case you’ve never sunk your teeth into mochi before, picture sweet, creamy ice cream enveloped in a chewy rice coating.

There are other desserts too in this cafe, including a whole case of colorful and light French macarons.

This isn’t your average dessert shop but instead will take you on a flavor trip around the globe without ever leaving the state.

Enjoy giant boba teas, slushes, snows, coffees, and a massive mochi bar when you visit TeaStori in Florida.
