6 Best Bubble Tea in Hilo

“What a great find! The food was delicious! We got banh mi, pho, noodles, spring rolls and summer rolls! Everything was delicious. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. Another patron forgot their phone and they ran down the street to return it! The restaurant was clean and smelled nice! Will go back next time we're in town!“

“I ordered the taro smoothie with boba and swapped in coconut milk. You can really taste that they use real taro—it gives the drink a rich, authentic flavor. The boba was warm, soft, and perfectly chewy. Honestly, this is the best smoothie I’ve had on the Big Island. Their customer service is also excellent—they let you customize your drink just the way you like it, including sweetness level and choice of milk. Highly recommend!“

“I really enjoyed stopping by here for a refreshing drink! The variety they offer is fantastic, and everything tasted super fresh and high quality. It’s a great spot to grab a tea or a quick snack if you’re looking for something different and delicious. The service was quick and friendly, making it a perfect little break during the day. I’m definitely looking forward to trying more of their menu next time I’m nearby.“

“They always have really friendly service, delicious food and refreshing drinks, 10/10 recommend. And if you're like me and don't care for boba, you have to request it, its an add on not default.☺ Though i would recommend the popping boba or rainbow jelly. Cafe Boba, keep doing what y'all are doing.💖“

“First, food is excellent! They do a very nice job, make it fresh and the place is very cool...right next to two other food counters, also right around the corner from the market. One is Thai, very good as well and another acai bowl place which we also love. I took a star because of the hours, twice now we have gone wanting this and they are closed?? Both times were within what they say open on here, but nothing there but a closed sign, frustrating because we love the food.“

“i went in with a mission - order a smoothie with ginger that i could TASTE. Jesus and Tita were the absolute BEST and worked with me to make the smoothie of my dreams 😋😋 Tita even gave me a sample to make sure it was what i wanted!! 100000/10; absolutely wonderful service and people. you won’t be disappointed. mahalo mahalo mahalo!!“
