Pineapple juice is like water with sugar. Does not deserve its price.

Came here twice and both time the tea's weren't good and its so over-priced for such a low quality drink.

On Monday 10/14 at around 8:30pm, my friend and I were craving smoothies after a workout. When we got there, there were no customers. We got the mango smoothie and strawberry milk smoothie, and when we tried it as we were leaving the store, it tasted bland and watered down. We went back to store to see if it could be saved, and the girl at the register was sweet and apologetic and tried adding sugar but when we tried it again it still tasted the same, like sugary iced water, very little fruit flavor. So the girl tried to check with lady in the back if it could be remade, but that lady seemed unhappy and offended when we told them it tasted like water. She started yelling to the worker and saying not possible and also said “shen jing bing” which is “psycho” in mandarin and I’m insinuating it’s toward us because we’re the only ones in the room. The girl at register tried her best to help out and they tried to add more mango in my smoothie but ultimately it tasted the same.

I used to come here frequently several years ago and their drinks were good. Not sure what happened these past couple of years, but the quality has gone down dramatically. Safe to say, I am not coming here ever again. There are plenty of other stores that have good smoothies. I’d come here if you’re desperate for a mediocre watered down $8 drink.

Tried this place twice, but strawberry was ok and honey pineapple was terrible. Their straws are terrible and broke if u apply any small pressure from any direction. I bought over 10 bags of treats from here, their nougets were expired 3 months n tasted terrible. Their labelling wasnt that clear and when I pointed it out to them they were rude. I recommend ice monster at the strip I almost quit boba because of this place but ice monster at the strip had tasty slushie and boba was way tastier, had good straws and employees professional and friendly.

The smoothie was extremely delicious! But the customer service was horrible. The girl had a horrible attitude. Didn’t make you feel welcome or anything like that! Would I come here again maybe not just because of that..

Speedy service, nice atmosphere, meh smoothie. Can't beat the price, it's the same in Chinatown at about $7 for a small drink.I asked for no sugar, but the cashier said it'll be very bland. ?Wished there was more variety like Thai milk tea. I had high hopes but don't think I'll be coming back. For the money I'd rather take the trip to Coffee Talk on Waialae for a coconut cream coffee.

Parking: Street parkingThis is a cafe that sells a variety of smoothies and tea. The smoothie was better than the tea. The price is cheap and the smoothies are not bad, so I think a lot of students go there.-Avocado Milk Smoothie $6.99-Watermelon Smoothie/Juice $5.99-Strawberry Banana Smoothie $6.99

Love getting my mango smoothie fix here. Everything is natural and it’s the perfect treat to get in this heat! They also have tea and coffee, as well as asian snacks in the store.

The Piña colada was pretty good!

Gave me the wrong order and doesn’t even taste good. Their grass jelly was not it. The cashier was very soft spoken and could not hear what he was saying which probably led to getting the wrong order

There's lots of options for boba tea in the University area, and unfortunately Shaka Shaka comes out on the bottom. The tea wasn't very good. Very weak flavor, almost seemed watery even though I drank it before the ice melted. Boba didn't seem fresh either. Service is pretty fast but it doesn't really make up for the product.
