45 Best Bubble Tea in Honolulu

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“I really like this place. I just get their House milk tea. Large size is $5.24 including tax. I prefer to patronize these local places. Nice bright space. Give them credit for providing comfortable chairs. Pro Tip #1: Adjust the sweetness level to your preference. I like my milk tea at only 20% sugar level, so I can taste the tea flavor more. Pro Tip 2: Pick up your lunch or snack at nearby Safeway, then come here to relax with a nice drink 😋😊“

“This is a cozy, cutely decorated place. The clientele many are studying on their devices, so it's a quiet place. The bottom line is the drinks are very good. My 9yr old nephew insisted on coming here, and seemed to know what to order. While playing chess in the place he revealed he and his mother have been coming here after their evening walks. The plain milk tea and the ube tea is really good. For me 25% sweet is perfect.
Prices are good. You can enjoy a nice drink in a comfortable setting or take out. Open until 10pm!“

“Delicious and friendly staff! 😊“

“One of my favorite boba tea spot in town! There's a buy 2 free 1 promotion until Dec 2, 2023! The aesthetic of the store makes me feel like I'm in Asia, the boba is homemade and the texture was perfect. The owner is super friendly and kind - I came about 8 mins from closing time prepared to be turned away but they still welcomed me, took my order without complaint. I liked the feeling of helping local businesses instead of a chain restaurant, because you can feel the passion of the people in every detail of the store. I like that it's not crowded and has plenty of seating. Love love love this place, will definitely come again!

Parking: Limited street parking especially during the day.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“Sugarcane slush!!! Sooo refreshing. Taro slush was fresh and delicious. Little bit heavier and perfect for dessert. I loved this place. Came back a second time in my trip so far. Might go again and will have to try the jasmine milk tea slush. Fast service. Best 5$ spent.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I love getting my usual mango black tea with lychee jelly“

“One of a kind! (literally)“

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

“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“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“Great friendly staff, great boba and smoothies. If you like Piña Coladas, try the Strawberry Lava ?

Parking: There’s a few spots on the side street and behind the building. If you come late at night, you might find people from the club park there too.“

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

“Great tea and popcorn chicken“

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

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

“THE CHARCOAL CONE WAS SO.GOOD.“

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

“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!“

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

“OMG what a sleeper foodie find! I was looking for a quick lunch place in the shopping center and thought I’d just grab a quick bento to go from this place… no way, once inside there’s so much more than sushi!

I perused the large sushi menu for a while before finally deciding on an already made bento of salmon collar. They offered a side of rice to go with it but I decided to go with cucumber sushi instead. I couldn’t help but look in their pastry fridge and immediately decided I had to have dessert - a super cute pair of lemon and strawberry tarts.

They also make boba tea to order, and offer a variety of desserts, from mango panna cotta to bagged cookies - feed that sweet tooth while you grab lunch or dinner!

So excited to find this place - you could bring a small or large group here, there’s great seating inside the restaurant.

Highly recommend this place if you’re deciding where to eat at this center!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 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!!!“

“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“
