Sweet soft spoken staff multiple items to pick from! Clean and well-kept environment. They also have the menu posted up on the outside of the shop so you can look before going in. It’s easier to decide outside what you want due to the store being small and it’s easily congested. They also have stands with additional items for purchase. Multiple boba options. The taro smoothie with tapioca boba was amazing and so wast the lavender milk tea

I saw a picture of boba and ice cream on the window and knew I had to try it. The ice cream is a nice creamy vanilla flavor. The boba is chewy and plentiful. Ive only had boba with milk tea but boba and ice cream was very creative and fun. I plan to come back again.

I was in search of a bubble tea spot on vacation and found this gem of a place next door to my hotel. They make an amazing lemon green tea and their boba is delicious. My boyfriend got the blended fruit smoothie which has real fruit blended into it. Refreshingly delicious drinks at a fair price!

My family and I discovered this boba tea shop and fell in love with it immediately. We got the tiger boba ice cream which tastes just like the ice cream bar. We also got the fresh taro boba smoothie which is our favorite as well. You will not be disappointed. Price was very reasonable for the sizes we got. The only reason I have a star off was the service took a bit. There is only one staff that takes your order and makes it. We had to wait almost 10 mins before placing our order and then another 10-15 mins before receiving our 3 boba’s. Despite the limited staffing and wait our girls went back almost every day which was a 15 mins walk from where we stayed. It was worth it.

Great place with great smoothies. Just had the banana fudge shake with boba. It was delicious. This is my third time here. I live in the area so I will probably be back!

Not sure why this place doesn’t get more recognition. We eat the hell out of shave ice and these guys have taken another swing at it. We loved it. It’s different but if you like Asian food, we highly recommend. No line, kind service, great drinks and food.

Quick in and out about 3 blocks ago. This location is near Ross. We ordered the Taro milk tea and the tiger brown sugar milk tea. Hubby likes my taro better but we loved that they had 33oz cups which weve never got anywhere.

Coffee or Tea? is really cute. The store is clean and the people that work there are nice. I actually found myself asking do I want coffee or tea bc they had so many choices. The green jasmine tea and black tea are good. Espresso was tasty too. And there was no line bc its a little off the beaten path. Good choice to come here.

Only boba around here in downtown Waikiki. Boba is on the soft side. The smoothies could be creamier and a choice or sweetness levels. Green Tea was good with boba was so so.

Best bubble tea on the island! So many delicious looking desserts including shave ice, bubble tea, and other snacks. Definitely a must go.

Very good! My sister and I went three days in a row. I love the tiger brown sugar milk tea and the jasmine green milk tea, while my sister likes the honey iced black tea. The service is great as well.

I love this shop, it has one of the best quality teas Ive tried. It tastes super authentic and reminds me of the milk tea in taiwan. the service is also amazing and it really feels like such a nice place and environment there. I definitely recommend this place if your looking for a good drink!

To start off when I walked in they didn’t bother to say hi or welcome they just sat there waiting for me to order. Then when I ordered he immediately threw my receipt in the trash (which I wanted). Finally they gave me a strawberry milk shake not the strawberry milk TEA I ordered. I wasn’t going to complain since they didn’t bother trying to speak to me so I left. Definitely not going back.

Very unique take on shaved ice. Up to 5 topping options for 1 price...can add ice cream and/or condensed milk as option for no extra charge. Jelly options as well for more flavor. Huge portions--enough for 2 people to share.

Review №15

Good spot and the drinks were good but fairly standard which isnt a bad thing. Teetering between 3 and 4 stars but the nice young lady helping us was just so friendly and hustling she earned them a 4 star easily. My son got the watermelon juice and he loved it.

Could very well be the best milk tea in Hawaii (just like what it says in their cups) but personally not the best one Ive ever had

The vanilla milk tea was pretty tasty, but my coconut milk tea was lacking in flavor.I like the extra jumbo size you can get, but when bae ordered extra boba, she was told that they were running low and couldnt sell her the upgrade.Whatevz

Not the boba i expected but wasn’t bad. My husband got sick at night and only thing we had different was the boba…so maybe boba caused him sick ..? 🙄

As another reviewer said, the employees seemed to be hanging out the back and I had to wait for a bit for one to come to the register and take my order. Ordered a jumbo strawberry smoothie with boba for $7 (kinda expensive) which was made quickly with no other customers in the shop. Smoothie could be a little sweeter and tasted a little artificial, but the boba pearls themselves were some of the best Ive had even compared to my bay area boba standards.

3 stars because the milk tea is pretty sub par. Ive yet to try anything here as good as S7 Icy Bubble. Maybe this place has great coffee or iced teas. Not impressed and Im sure I wont return.

Its not cheap; but its one of the best. The Boba never tasted overcooked or undercooked.A 5 star if a cup of drink wouldve been $0.75~1.00 less.

Tea was good the price was also good, no complaints there, BUT the pearls where way over cooked. Not sure if this was just a one off, but I will try to make it back and see if it was just that batch.

I really like the Papaya shake is my favorite, and the milk tea is the best, the pearl is homemade and super delicious, if you visit Hawaii you have to try these are traditional tea open since 1999.If you come do not forget to try the traditional Chinese ice cream have pearls and red beans that is very delicious and refreshing for the tropical days of this island.

Tapioca was mochimochi and large in size, and the tapioca milk tea here in my life was the most delicious!As expected, tapioca is not clogged up like the shop front panel.

If it is Hawaii, it is papaya! And topping with tapioca on papaya smoothie ordered with momentumCrystal lemon tea is also sweet and refreshing, I felt very delicious for myself who was a little shy of sweet food while staying in Hawaii.

I happened to pass by and went to this shop.Once I drank it, it was delicious and I went there many times after that. I cant say anything because I havent drank at other shops, but I recommend it because its close to the hotel in Waikiki.

It was good to eat in Kailua, but it is also good in Waikiki city It is right in front of shoreline hotel. I do not like the coffee, but I like milk tea, latte and milk tea.

Review №91

It was the first tapioca milk tea store. Tapioca can be selected from brown sugar and sweetness of 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Tapioca is motivated, but unfortunately it feels a bit left. Milk tea was not astringent and felt sweet and just right at 75% sweetness.
