8 Best Bubble Tea in Aiea

“So, I am a total townie. To me, going past Chinatown is going to the boonies. Going to Aiea and taking the freeway is like going to another country where you don't know how to drive. Well, I took the adventure and it was totally worth it to check out this place. Had tried before, but unfortunately, they were still closed due to COVID restrictions. After thinking about trying to go again, I found the time and couldn't believe what I was missing out on all this time. The food is just amazing. I've had Taiwanese soups of many kinds over the years, but their Cow Wow beef noodle soup was by far the best I have ever had. Lots of excellent meat, rich broth and spiced perfectly. My partner had the Fooki Belly plate and I was amazing with the pork that was so perfectly cooked and so flavorful with fatty yumminess. We also got the Grandpa Rolling Beef, which was like an Asian crepe burrito. It was fantastic as well, but didn't really need so much plum sauce on it and would ask for it on the side when we go back again. The place has a certain Asian kitschy sheik to it, like something with a Shanghai old movie feel. They are super cautions with COVID safety and maybe can ease up just a bit, but I do appreciate their efforts to keep themselves as well as their dinners safe. If this place were to open up another location in the Honolulu area, I would probably be there way to much. Maybe it is a good thing that they are out of my normal travel comfort limits, so that it makes it extra special when I go back again for their amazing food.“

“Traffic was heinous so figured I'd try a new smoothie place out. I figured it was in Aiea plaza with pho time and ended up missing the lot which was convincingly hidden from those who are coming from the Aiea bowl side. If you follow the alley past it or the hill by the church the lots connect. To preface like tea time you'll need a 10 buck transaction to use any card. As for the place it was surprisingly empty and the aunty was quick to take my order down and make my drink. I ordered a strawberry peach smoothie with boba. The drink itself was massive and while I only noticed at the end she forgot the boba the drink itself was tasting amazing I almost didn't care at all. Super clean with slightly elevated taste with not unnaturally thick pieces getting stuck. I also noticed they got cheap popsicles and ice cream also and maybe I'll get some next time. Overall I loved the place and would try them again but would prolly have to order a boatload of toppings or double fist next time.“

“Very friendly staff and good music, menu is also very easy to understand and have a lot of options. Plenty parking outside and they have convenient hours. Place looks very clean and have options for sitting. Today I tried the cocoa lover with and added some lychee, it is so delicious and refreshing, will definitely come back to try more of their teas.

Parking: Access from kaahumanu street“

“Everything is delicious 😋 thank goodness“

“Tea Cafe in Tea Cafe is a quick stop for drinks but comes with a few small annoyances. Parking is handled through an app and is supposed to be free for the first two hours. Somehow I still got charged $9.99 which felt bogus and instantly took some of the joy out of what should have been a simple visit.

The shop itself is pretty small so it feels more like a grab your drinks and go kind of place rather than somewhere you hang out for a while. Drink prices range from about $4.50 to $9 depending on what you order which feels fair for boba and specialty drinks. Drinks were delicious!

We tried the watermelon pina colada chocolate and Thai tea. All of them were good and refreshing with the Thai tea being the standout. The flavors were solid and exactly what you want when you are craving something sweet and cold.

Tea Cafe does the job if you are in the area and want a variety of fun drinks. Just double check the parking situation so you do not accidentally turn a boba run into a $10 surprise.“

“probably the best valued, most consistent boba place, no crazy new fancy drinks, just good milk tea 🤙“

“Highly recommend?Decided to give Tea Spot a try. Oh! So happy with my Milk Tea. Took 50% sugar. Excellent. Boba was perfectly cooked. Nice chew. Having tried many stores & franchises, I can say…Certainly one of the better places on island.“

“my favorite place for a sweet treat and my mom loves their candy selection. and many things to get distracted by while waiting for your order! customer service is always awesome and drinks made fast. the drinks are “not too sweet”, if you know what i mean. so yummy i always want to go back for the same drink i always get. would give 6 stars if i could…..please dont change❤️“
