The brown sugar milk tea from this place is my go-to on this island & the bubble waffles are really good with a nice texture! The service here is also great! She’s super friendly & fast with her service!

Had their Waip'io Taro special, my husband had their wintermelon milk tea and my girls had strawberry and chocolate smoothies. Amazing service and wonderful tasting drinks and food. We got their Taiwanese sandwiches and egg waffles and they were delicious. Definitely a fantastic boba shop worth going out of the way for! Staff is very kind, attentive, and helped us choose our food and drinks and answered all our questions. Definitely recommend!

Best bubble waffle EVER. And she’s one of the few that make your boba with fresh warm boba. Hits the taste buds differently!
