50 Best Bubble Tea in Honolulu

“Fresh fruit bubble tea! Watermelon w/ boba is the best during this hot summer season!“

“GREAT! IT WAS MY FIRST TIME AND THEY WERE ALL NICE AND THEY AUGGESTED TO ME THE CARAMEL PUDDING ONE. IT WAS GREAT. THANKS FOR A GOOD PICKER UPPER, MY 16 HOIR SHIFT NEEDED THIS :) MAHALO LADIES AND THE ONE GUY AT QQ TEA!!“

“Small but nice boba shop with interesting menu and flavors. Lots of very modern kid vending machines (sort of claw-type) that have anime toys, candy, and random trinkets. Clean but very limited seating. Appreciate they ask how sweet you want.“

“Delicious and friendly staff! 😊“

“Mango Rice Yogurt with pudding Pineapple Rice Yogurt with pudding Mango Sago“

“Love the staff!! Mahalo for great customer service! I went back again. 😂“

“This is hands down one of the best hangout spots in the area! The atmosphere is adorable, spacious, and versatile~! Perfect for catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just relaxing.

The Menu: Massive selection! I tried the Mango Charm and it was fantastic. They even have soufflé pancakes, which is a rare and delicious find.

The Perks: They’ve thought of everything, free 1 hour parking, fast WiFi, and plenty of power outlets. The board games are a lovely touch that makes the space feel so welcoming.

The Service: The staff is incredibly patient and friendly; they really helped me navigate the large menu when I couldn't decide.

Open late with great vibes. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Cute and fun atmosphere with nice little photo ops 💖“

“Do not go here. I'm only writing this because they deserve it. I get tired of people that rave about and mob a place that they know nothing of. Equally disgusting are the people (you know who you are) that buy one manini thing and leech off a place for hours; pay for the time you take from these hardworking people and buy something hourly. Also, check attitude at the door, yeah? Excellent place, attention to detail, quality products - are they the bestest? No, but the fact you gotta think about it should say something. B+ to A- easy.“

“It's really five stars but it depends who's working. There's more than one location and the location we go to is usually staffed by the same person. Service is excellent; the products we consume are excellent and the environment is friendly and convivial. We've been to the other place and the difference shows. The person was uninterested as if we were taking up their time; they took our card and when they gave it back to us they didn't stamp any more things on it and we weren't cashing it in for anything either. They didn't seem to care one way or another. This showed in the products which somehow, did not taste as good as at the other place. I can't explain it, yeah? It should make no difference because it's just product but maybe there's more to it that if you don't care you know you just don't make it as well. So, the one on Pensacola, at least in my experience is five stars The one off Pali is barely four.“

“Had a great experience! I had the privilege of having my order taken by Cayle (apologies if I spelled it wrong) she was very patient and sweet when it came to me ordering. I had my wisdom teeth removed and she was very kind in giving me reccomendations and curating a drink I would like that is wisdom extraction safe! Definitely becoming a regular!“

“from the bubble tea to the flavored fruit teas...Great Tasting! my kids and I love it and we are Boba snobs! lol!“

“The durian smoothie at Mickey’s was creamy, cold, and delicious. I also really enjoy the courtyard out front — it’s a nice little spot to sit, cool down, and take a break.

If you haven’t tried durian before, a smoothie is a great way to start. It’s not as pungent as the raw fruit, but still has that rich, unique durian flavor that makes it so good.“

“All the juices are so fresh and delicious! You can customize your drink with no sugar, which I love. And their bobba is very good and not too sweet. They have all the fruit juices, like chico, sour sop, dragonfruit, so many to choose from, I can’t wait to go back, yum!“

“One of a kind! (literally)“

“I initially walked to Bishop Square for a different café, but I couldn’t help but notice the delicious smell of Vietnamese food coming from Teapresso! I ordered the BBQ lemongrass chicken Banh Mi & Thai tea and both were delicious!

I have sensitive teeth and so banh mis are always a toss up for me, but their bread had a nice thin crispy layer on the outside and soft on the inside. Super good!

There’s outdoor public seating within Bishop Square that you can sit and enjoy. Easy and convenient location if you work/live in downtown.“

“It was alright. I got the Hojicha Milk Tea with boba at 50% sweet. The hojicha flavor came through nicely, and the bobas were pretty good. The main gripe for me related to the size:price ratio. The “small”size here seems to be approximately equivalent to the “regular” at other boba places, but it’s appears to be a bit smaller than expected while being slightly more expensive than usual. I guess that’s what happens when you get boba in Kahala.“

“Best Lobster Rolls I’ve ever had!! I could eat them every day if it were possible.“

“Great tea and popcorn chicken“

“If you love milk tea, coffee, or smoothies, this is the place to go! High quality taste with a variety of options. Not only are drinks available here, but mochi donuts, the popular boba popsicles and more! Great location - next to where Like Like Drive Inn was. Parking right in front and always available.“

“They were super chill, the first time I went there I made a joke about coming back with a bag of quarters to pay and they said that would be appreciated.so I come back with 75$ worth of quarters and they counted them and exchanged them for cash and drinks for me and my dad. They delt with my silliness so for that I am grateful.“

“Love this place! Menu is super user friendly and perfect for even the pickiest drink consumer! Fruity, sweet, savory, and more are available. I really love their fruit smoothies - every flavor is a must try at least once!
Just the right amount of sweetness. Consistently well made. 10/10 customer service, plus the prices are reasonable!“

“Whenever we pass by the store, we need to stop by and check it out !!! Especially for mild tea bubble drinks. ❤️“

“Like the other reviewer said, you know it’s good when you see the owners’ kids sitting in the front doing their homework (hopefully).Coming from LA, this is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Flavoring, spice level, juiciness, and crispiness were all top notch.
Food 10/10
Service 10/10
Atmosphere lowkey rundown and lacking AC but the food makes up for it“

“It is the only store that my husband and I come back to buy again and again. you guys must try“

“I absolutely love Teapresso on Waialae Avenue! Both Ha and her sister Hang are such incredible humans! They are so authentically kind hearted and genuinely care about making people happy! The quality of their teas and boba are unparalleled! Some say the proof is the pudding, but I say the proof is in the consistency of how people treat you! Go to where you are appreciated, go to Teapresso Wailae!!!“

“Friendly fast service, fresh fish, great prices!! My favorite is fancy sashimi bowl. I was able to purchase uni from Hokkaido!!“

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

“It is very delicious and fresh and the combination that one needs The best El mejor que he probado“

“Smoothies are made with real fruit, and are amazingly refreshing. The pearls are perfect—the best I've ever tried. The owner is extremely nice and remembers us every time we come. The service is quick, but the quality is not sacrificed. Love this place!“

“Love the staff!! Mahalo for great customer service! I went back again. 😂“

“Great sushi place with reasonable prices. The garlic salmon is my favorite. They also have fruit tea and boba drinks that are very refreshing.
It’s a small place with not much seating and no public bathroom, but Chuck E. cheese has bathrooms and it was not that busy each time I’ve been here. There’s a cool fish tank inside as well. Great spot that I will be coming back to“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“What a sweet treat! Absolutely LOVE the lemon slushy, if you're a lemon lover. The milk tea (classic) with salted cheese sounded odd, but was surprisingly good; it makes it a bit creamier, and not salty at all. The ube is great, but I'm not a big fan of the puff, as it makes it a little grainy. They had a very happy vibe here, highly recommended!“

“A hidden gem on the campus of University of Hawaii located at the student center. I had low expectations considering that it's on campus but I was pleasantly surprised that the drink was good and reasonably priced.There may be a line depending on what time you come, especially during lunch hours. But the staff were extremely fast and efficient, you could be in and out within 5 mins if you come during off peak times.“

“Buy a sweet for your sweetie.

This is a great place for a mid day, mid week date. It was quiet and not crowded. The noise level was good for a soft conversation. This being said, if you are in a relationship now is the time to slow down have a tea and a pastry and talk about the future.

Some of the nice parts of this place is that it's enclosed, has air conditioning and no birds running around eyeballing your food.(You know what I mean)

The food is good and at a level that will keep you coming back. This pastry is far superior to Liliha bakery, don't go there come here. This food is not as good as Patisserie La Palme D'or. But! It is still worth a visit and a return visit.

So have a date day and treat your sweet to something sweaty.... Do mine the auto incorrect.“

“👍🏻 very good“

“THE CHARCOAL CONE WAS SO.GOOD.“

“All the juices are so fresh and delicious! You can customize your drink with no sugar, which I love. And their bobba is very good and not too sweet. They have all the fruit juices, like chico, sour sop, dragonfruit, so many to choose from, I can’t wait to go back, yum!“

“they taste amazing! you get your money's worth for the large size but I just wish they had smalls. too big for me“

“Great Menu A+++ Friendly Staff“

“This is our favorite location. Close to home and everyone so nice. My favorite flavor right now is the Watermelon Breeze. So refreshing and so good. Lots of parking most of the time. My son loves loves loves the strawberry energizer. I usually get the Asai supercharger thick (so think it may break the machine one day 🤣). Come down!“

“they taste amazing! you get your money's worth for the large size but I just wish they had smalls. too big for me“

“This is the first poke spot I’ve ever seen in a Walmart. I always have to grab my poke bowl and tai tea with boba. There food and service is always good. I definitely recommend this place. 😊❤️“

“I placed a big order for my son's birthday to take to his school. Kaila was super helpful, patient and kind when I placed the order the day prior and when I picked it up the next day. Since it was a big order I was concerned that there would be a mistake and the smoothies would be watery by the time we got to my son's school, but Kaila had the order all correct and the smoothies were perfectly thick by the time we got to my son's school. Thank you so much Kaila for all your help!“

“Pretty good boba place in Ala Moana!! They have a frozen durian topping for just $4 which was so exciting, I got it in a bowl on the side, it's hard to find plain durian at all, so I was very excited to get a bowl of it for so cheap. The drinks are a bit pricier but pretty delicious, I got a mango green tea and coconut milk boba. The boba and lychee jelly were both great. The inside is a bit of a work in progress, it all looks very new, better to grab and go. The staff was nice, you can order on a kiosk or with people.“

“It’s a pretty basic meal not the fanciest but a great bargain for Waikiki. I ordered though Uber eats and got the spicy shrimp with crispy chicken under a two for one deal. It was $20 for two plates, which is unheard of in Waikiki nowadays.“

“我們是一群從台灣來這裡的教授們，這個地方是我們在夏威夷感覺最溫暖的地方，好棒！“
