50 Best Bubble Tea near Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam

“I absolutely love this boba shop located on JBPHH. The owner is always so happy to chat with the customers and each drink is made to order. The dragon fruit drink is full of flavor and the color is vibrant. I also ordered a mango drink and it was perfect and not too sweet. Plus the sizes are very generous for the price. There is indoor and outdoor seating available. Military base access is required to go to the shop.“

“Very affordable drink and vegan food! The aunty and uncle is very friendly and offer very quick service. There is a parking lot with limited space, but can street park. There is a huge selection on the drinks (smoothie, milk tea, fruit tea, yogurt, milkshake, ice milk, and cheese foam) and Chinese vegan plate lunch for $13.95. So, if you ever want to get some greens while getting some boba, this is the place for you!“

“Probably my new favorite go-to boba shop! Just tucked away in Kapahulu just a little before popeyes. You take a slight left right at the traffic light past safeway and the store is right at the corner.Parking - it is pretty limited. My friend and I parked at the lot just a little up from the store, or there is ample street parking too!Drinks - LOVE their mochi drinks. It's probably something I haven't tried on the islands. My go to right now is their oreo mochi milk tea with brown sugar boba. Their boba is also made fresh and has the perfect chewing consistency. You can also change your sweetness level to your liking! The staff there is super helpful and kind. It was our first time and the kind women answered all of our questions with pictures! It also seems as though you can relax and study here for anyone looking for a place to focus and relax! They also have free wifi and board games available. Looking forward to trying new drinks here!“

“Pretty good shave ice! Very fast service too and lots of yummy menu options. Wish you could choose your own split flavor combos though and that the mochi they served was the freshly boiled round kind not powdered shelf stable kind. Fruit variety was tasty though and was happy to see the Taiwanese dessert soup options- gotta try those next time :)“

“Best boba on the island, hands down! The owners are always so nice and remember me and my husband's order. Drinks come out very quickly. It's a small shop, definitely more grab-and-go, but it's worth the stop. Parking is weird since the city changed the stalls on Kamake'e, but it's easy to find a stall in front of the shop/a little further up or around the corner near Harry's Cafe. Highly recommend the Lattea!“

“Fooki is an amazing spot as a solo diner, date night spot, or with a group of friends you want to catch up with. I ordered the Seafood Laksa, which was very flavorful and if you end up saving the leftover curry coconut creamy broth, would be ideal for layering on top of any appetizer. The Shrimp Paste Noodle Soup could've been improved upon as the broth wasn't too memorable, however the hand made shrimp paste was fairly unique. If you have a group bigger than two, would recommend making reservations to play it safe!“

“Been here twice to take out this week. Although a bit expensive at $18 a poke bowl, it's fresh and decent:Wasabi shoyu poke bowl: 4 stars for $18, a regular sized poke bowl with wasabi and shoyu. They don't have a selection for rice, so you just choose the poke. Since there isn't anywhere close by except for restaurant row to buy in the area, it's decent. The fish is fresh.Hurricane poke bowl: 4 stars, only because they are a little more expensive than other places. Otherwise a 5 star. A regular sized poke bowl with more garnishes than the shoyu bowl. Fresh tasting fish, but I went at 1:30p and they were running out of ahi, so they offered me a half salmon/ahi bowl. It was a decent sized bowl, but a little pricy, but where is cheap in Kakaako? strawberry Hojicha matcha - first time I bought it for $8, but after adding my phone number at the cashier and checking in the 5 star loyalty app, I ordered a different poke bowl again because five star offered a free drink for a limited time, and they told me I could order any drink, so ordered it again since no other place sells this type of drink, with real strawberries and hojicha (roasted) matcha.Service was excellent. They do NOT charge an extra 3% surcharge like some other restaurants for using a credit card.When I'm in the area, it's a good place to pick up poke bowl and a specialty drink here, yes, I'd buy here again even if it's a little more expensive than other places, especially their drinks.“

“The coffe was really good and the entire place was really neatVegetarian options: There coffe was vegetarian and there abocado shake and shaveice is good tooParking: There is a parking spot right near the café and it isnt ammed that much and you Can just park your car and walk right inKid-friendliness: The staff are really kind só they don't really mind about anything just as long as no one is hurt“

“Ordered a passion mango smoothie and I will say that I will make the sugar level higher next time. Overall, it was a very refreshing drink and I really liked the passion fruit seeds in the bottom.The drink was smooth, fruity, and delicious. The location is rather cute being around the corner of the street, but depending on when you come you may or may not find much street parking. The tea shop was clean, bright and simple. I actually appreciated that it wasn't too cluttered with items and their menu had options but not overwhelming. The people were friendly and fast with my order. To me, that's great service considering that you're only getting a drink! Definitely will come back again!“

“Their Peach Oolong Tea and Mango Smoogurt are my favorite. It is a little pricy but their ingredients are fresh and high quality.I prefer getting my smoothies with cheese foam from cow cows but this is my favorite location for the items mentioned above and quality tea.“

“This is one of my favorite places to stop for a treat. I always get my honeydew milk tea (they make the best) and my kids pick out a treat from there selection. If I plan a trip we always stop here to grab snacks for the plane ride. They have excellent customer service too.“

“Warm and friendly experience, seriously! Service is reasonably quick. The drinks taste great, but what's most important is that they cook their Boba to ? perfection. Customization is present here, jellies, honey Boba, sugar specification, and even a huge size that will probably be enough for a meal. The store is cute, and they have a great mural painted on the walls. If you're in the area, you have no reason not to go here. Enjoy!Parking: Sometimes there isn't enough street for all of us, so I gotta go park somewhere else for about 10-15 minutes.“

“Was early for Dr's appointments this morning and went on a search for a coffee place near by and found this little gem!Got the hazelnut latte for Mom,which she absolutely loved, and a yummy caramel macchiato for myself.Amazing customer service, got our drinks quickly and great prices!Will definitely drop by again for another coffee fix next appointment in town.Parking: It is a busy parking lot but we found a spot fairly quickly.“

“Got the ube smoothie drink. Very unique taste, definitely using real ingredients, not powdered base drink. Do note that substitute oat milk instead of regular milk is $1.50 which a bit pricey. Also added boba with great taste! Drink came out to almost $10.42 but worth the price. Definitely recommended to try it out yourself.“

“We have been coming to Wen’s for years! It is the best local spot in Honolulu. They have great flavors, affordable prices and friendly staff. I recently got the peach oolong tea and the winter melon black tea. You can actually taste the tea.“

“Best lobster roll hands down. From Maine to Manoa, I've tried them all. Dis one broke da mouth! Plenty lobster, bun crunch perfection without being overly buttered. Slaw with virtually no mayo let's the lobster flavor come through with a hint of sour from a light touch of pickle. Absolutely awesome! Look at the photo. Need I say more?“

“Stumbled upon Thang’s while running errands today and love Vietnamese coffee. It’s safe to say that both my husband and I said it’s one of the best viet coffees we’ve had! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town.Highly recommend. Fast service, friendly & all other drinks looked really good as well. I’ll try a Boba drink next time. ??“

“Really fresh and huge poke bowls! Generous portions and variety of fish and sauces. Good selection of drinks also. Everything was well priced for the portions and quality. The service was great, and our order was ready quickly. Nice selection of other menu items that looked just as great: bento'sashimi'and sushi.“

“Indulging in Korean snow ice cream was an absolute delight! The delicate flakes of shaved ice were like a fluffy blanket, melting on my tongue with every bite. Topped with fresh fruit, sweet condensed milk, and chewy mochi, every spoonful was a delightful surprise. It was the perfect treat to cool down on a hot day, and I can't wait to enjoy it again!“

“I love to walk here when I'm taking a long walk. The service is great as are the drinks. I like to get the papaya smoothie and add boba and the boba is perfectly made. It also doesn't freeze with the drink, so it's delicious to the last sip. The atmosphere is cozy as it is just an ordering window, but there is a place to sit if you're looking for a reprieve from the sun or your walk.“

“We were greeted by two lovely young ladies.We ordered "2" Macha Frappuccino with coconut milk and ube cake.The Macha frap tasted like the Japanese Macha ice cream from Tanaka of Tokyo or from Dave's Ice Cream. The Ube cake was soft and not overpowering in sweetness it was just right.We were greeted as we exited and we enjoyed our refreshing drinks and soft ube cake“

“In the midst of busy Waialae is this place...Heading up Waialae just before the weird triangular intersection with McDonald's, Kaimuki Shopping Center, and Sacred Heart Teapresso Bar on the left in an older structure.With that it's super spacious inside with lots of seating which I'd have pics but friends of the staff were there as it was completely slow and empty granted but took up the banquette seating and didn't really want a pic of that besides them staring at me taking some pics was a bit annoying.Well ordering my drink I got my usual and it was made fast and efficient I was just a bit annoyed with the staff taking my order in between having the convo with their friends instead of just finishing up my order then continuing I found it quite rude.I do love the spacious decor though there were no outlet to keep your electronics charged is probably one reason it's empty versus the competitor across the street but the drink is yummy as usual and there are a few free parking stalls right beside the building...oh and don't forget the 10% off with Yelp check in!Thank you!“

“Uncle's Chicken is a small chicken shop located near Sakana in Kalihi. I placed a 5 chicken sandwich order around 11:20 and was quoted 15 minutes. I left downtown to grab the food right after and my food was ready by the time I got there. Very impressive chicken sandwich. I got the spicy one and it was only spicy in certain parts of my sandwich, which is why I gave minus one star. It seems like I was eating the original sandwich and put hot sauce in one spot of my sandwich. Other than that, the chicken was moist and crispy. The bread was so good. Seemed like a sweet bread bun. Definitely put the sandwich together. I think one thing I wish they included was pickles. That would make the sandwich complete! I would definitely come back if I was ever in the area. Their boba drinks look very impressive too.“

“Best matcha boba on the island (and I’ve tried a lot). Matcha has excellent flavor, especially for matcha enthusiasts like myself haha. Boba is well cooked, chewy, and sweet but not overtly sweet. My friend likes to get the potted milk tea.Honestly my favorite boba shop on the island!!Such a nice place, cute vibes, and free parking (but if you have a big car it’ll be a bit tight… also right now there’s construction to the adjacent parking lot so this one can get crowded/full at certain hours).Parking: Free lot but spaces are tiny“

“Who knew there's a Teapresso Bar here in Aloha Tower Marketplace... One of the smallest Teapresso Bar that I've seen and their menu is displayed a bit different than the usual so I'm not sure if they do have all the teas that they usually brew fresh but do see my favorite Pink Dragon Hibiscus is available here though for some reason wasn't feeling that this visit. It could be seeing the ocean view just a short distance but something about this open outdoorsy air vibe just feels so refreshing and decided on a Slushie and with what seems to have five to choose from (Mango, Strawberry, Honeydew, Yeah, Lychee, Pineapple and Passion Fruit) it had to be Passion Fruit for me and though there is a couple of tables and a few counter seating strolling around outside seem like the vibe for me as this slushie had just the right sweetness and flavor. The staff here is just a patient and pleasant as I couldn't decide between several choice did help me narrow it down to my slushie...with a view. Thank you!“

“I don't understand why they had to change the main menu board. Nothing about adding milk or boba except on the counter or somewhere else and not convenient. Earl Grey wasn't as fragrant as I hoped as Earl Grey lover. Golden boba was good in my earl grey milk tea. They have nice seating area and that's nice. A worker sitting behind the counter to take a break with a drink wasn't looking pretty though. Make a space for workers to take a break properly if there's none.Shared parking spaces with other stores available but I would imagine it's often packed.“

“I have been wanting to try this place for a while. There is parking in front but limited. We decided to park in the garage, which wasn't pricey. We went between 1 to 2, and it wasn't busy. We ordered the grilled cheese sandwich for the kids and waffle fries. Also ordered the Papa Smokes Burger, a Buttah Big Boi Burger, thai milk tea, and brown sugar ube milk.I wasn't too impressed with the drinks. Was a bit water down. But we did like the food. The waffle fries were crunchy and had nice seasoning to it. The grilled cheese was glooey and the kids loved that. The japanese milk bread used with the grilled cheese was good. My kids ate it, so I was happy, lol. I enjoyed the papa smokes burger. The bun was soft and the brisket and burger patties were cooked great. My bf really enjoyed the big boi burger. It is a big burger with three patties and he really enjoyed it. Overall, we enjoyed the food and would go back again. Sorry, pictures/videos aren't good. lol we were hungry.“

“I had very high hopes for this place.A few weeks ago, I stopped by for the first time and got beef curry and gyoza to go. It was spectacular! Decided to go for the ramen next visit.And I did.I wanted to get the thickest, most robust flavored soup, so I got the "Special" tonkotsu black garlic ramen.I really liked the visual presentation. Very vibrant, neat and appetizing.As with most ramen takeouts, the soup and noodles were packaged in separate containers. Before pouring the soup into the ramen bowl, I took a little sip.It was a tad disappointing, as I had such high hopes for this shop. The soup was a bit on the bland side. I guess the fried garlic chips are supposed to carry the flavor but there's nothing else. What I did notice was a slight slimy texture and a hint of odor. This probably indicates that inferior pork bones were used to draw the soup stock.For those of you who don't know how tonkotsu soup is made, ignorance is bliss. If you knew exactly what's in it, you may be traumatized!So, I'll spare you the details. What I will say is that hours of boiling the pork bones is needed to extract the umami, but other ingredients are crucial too. Grated ginger, garlic cloves, salt and pepper are some of the common items that are used. Despite the shortcomings of the tonkotsu soup, I have high hopes that Rakumen could be a top contender in the ramen world if they tweaked their soup just a little bit. Use better quality pork bones would be one. Adding a bit more flavor would be the other. *I had some leftover soup, so I added a little grated ginger and garlic with a few drops of la-yu to it and already, it was about as good as the other ramen shops in town. I give them 4 stars despite the seemingly harsh critique of their tonkotsu, because of their prompt and courteous service. But most of all, I believe that they will only get better.Looking forward to visiting again to up them to 5 stars!“

“First time stopping in here. Wish I would have stopped a long time ago when they opened. Great atmosphere and awesome service! The ladies working today were great! I had the Vietnamese coffee and my wife had the Mango/kumquat Boba tea. Her tea was amazing and I have never had Vietnamese coffee until now and WOW is all I can say. I will definitely be back every time I stop at Ka'makana Ali'i.“

“I never liked boba until I came here! I get the Lava Latte with boba and for topping I usually get Oreo but you could also get macadamia nuts!!! so delicious and the price difference between the regular and jumbo is 1$ I usually get a jumbo of this since it's so amazing! Our go to boba is this and Thai Milk Tea with boba :)“

“I ventured into Ding Tea for the first time ever, and I was not disappointed.[Parking]I believe they offer up to 25 or 30 min free validation in their lot. I walked, so I'm not 100% certain--but there is also street parking nearby.[Ambiance]There is construction nearby because Kaka'ako is always working on some new project. But the location is nice! The place itself is clean and inviting. Lots of seating. Free WiFi for guests. Not sure if they have a restroom, but seems like a good place to catch up with friends, read, study, do work, etc. Not too loud. Not too busy.[Boba]I ordered a regular size signature milk tea with golden boba at 75% sweetness. It was a solid milk tea. Not too sweet. Boba was good texture wise. I wish there was more of a prominent tea flavor to hook my in, but this was definitely one of the better milk teas I've tried. I tend to be picky with my boba. Standard pricing. A little less than $7. Not cheap but but expensive either.[Service]The two employees that were working were exceptionally nice. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a "welcome in" and smile. They were efficient and sweet. Customer service at its best.Overall, a solid boba place. I wanna come back and try a fruit offering and banh mi!“

“Mango Mango Dessert at Ala Moana is the best place to get Boba or unique Japanese sweets. They have a huge menu selection to choose from that I would say anything that you find tasty is worth trying. I would highly recommend this place for all friends and families visiting the mall. They are located on the second floor near Nordstroms and there is a lot of seating area if you are interested. I appreciate everything this place has to offer. Thank you so much and God Bless Mango Mango Dessert!“

“Cute little gem that had a nice variety of choices. The menu was robust and organized well. I opted for the non caffeinated taro milk tea with boba and lychee jelly. I loved that you could choose the level of sweetness. I went with 25%, and it was perfect - sweet but not too sweet. A nice refreshing afternoon stop.“

“Good service, great drinks, convenient location with parking !! Drinks can be a bit sweet so I recommend 50% or 75% if you need a sweet pick me up. Just tried the peach oolong tea 50% sweet and it's perfect with pieces of fresh peaches. The girl helping me today was kind and offered me a stamp card. Love that it's dog friendly here. The shop is always so clean and there is tons of outdoor seating.“

“My husband and I were in the area on a Friday night and bummed to find out they were closed.We came back when they were open and were stoked that they had the buy 2 get 1 free promo going on.I wanted to know what the Happy Milk Tea was, but the guy at the register didn't seem to understand English. So the lady (who knew a little English) tried to help, but still could not explain it...I'm glad she tried, but other customers might ask the same questions too...So I got the avocado shake with boba, which was made from fresh avocado and it tasted like there was coffee or just brown sugar blended in. I was not expecting that. It wasn't too bad, but the shake was just a lot to drink.My husband got the King's Milk Tea with boba. Pretty strong tea taste. It was okay.And for our 3rd drink, we got the passion fruit sugarcane. It was sweet, tasted like a guava Hawaiian Sun drink.Cute little boba shop! Only street parking.“

“Hands down, one of the best places for boba in my opinion. The tea is always brewed fresh daily. The boba itself is not hard or too chewy. Drinks are made to order. The staff is always patient, friendly and kind even with my two energetic boys running around. The ambience is so cute and the place is always clean.“

“Delicious menu! Nice customer service. Cozy place with cute tables and frame decorations, music is cool too. The menu offers a lot of drinks and ice cream with fruits options and also waffles and crapes, you can find dairy/gluten free options. Fruits on our dessert were sweet and fresh which is very important, very popular spot, many people in and out! Will be coming back to try more. On my list for sweet snacks!Dietary restrictions: Menu includes gluten free and dairy free optionsParking: Is a huge mall with plenty parking spots on different floors.“

“Open in Chinatown near the canalGood selection of foods and drinksIf you are looking for hipster refreshments do t go thereBut if you are looking for the neighborhood place that has good drinks and a small but well prepared menu this is the place to go. It's not haute cuisine. More like going to your aunts house and getting fed.“

“After hearing Thang's closing at this location, I was excited that another cafe took over and had the same concept as Thang's. Located across the gas station, you can easily find parking in the back by Aiea Manapua or the lot further back. Menu consists the same drinks such as fresh fruit smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, and more. They have tapioca pearls as well. We decided to get a pineapple and watermelon smoothie as those are our favorite. The prices range from $6-$8 depending on what flavor or combos you get. I was a bit disappointed by the smoothies because they added in coconut milk or some type of milk versus Thang's didn't add milk. It was really milky. No complaints but just a food for thought. It wasn't bad but just wasn't what I thought it was going to be like since the menu and concept was the same. Overall it's just okay. Def would try their iced Vietnamese coffee though because that looked amazing!“

“A great place to pick up and try local snacks and treats. Do you want to take a special treat to snack on at the movies or to take with you on a trip? Then come on into Lin's Hawaiian Snacks and fill your basket!So many options here! You can choose from sweet, sour, salty and savory! Take your pick. Today, I picked up a bag of Lin's premium seedless sweet li hing mui! Is your mouth puckering right now?Great personal service here. The staff made sure I liked the li hing mui offering me a taste before purchase. That's customer service with Aloha. The store is organized and clean. They even have a courtesy cup of iced water to cool down from the heat outside. There is a private pay to stay parking lot located near the store entrance.“

“bought seeds for my cousins in CA - sweet & seedless red li hing mui, 3 diff. kine football, & dry hibiscus.i got me cake olive & shoyu peanuts.Lin's has been Favorite seed place from Farmer's Market time❗️❗️❗️Bigger variety than other stores ?Parking: JUNK now ? Ripoff ? got charged for 1 hr !!! was there 15-20 min.parking used to be Free ?? Lin's had 2 designated spaces.“

“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.“

“Very good tea (both boba and liquid-only, we got a watermelon-something and a plain oolong. Note that drinks are sweetened unless otherwise specified !) inside of a shop specialising in snacks & packaged food mostly from Taiwan and China.To-go only ; the only seating is a little plaza in the middle of the car park.Vegetarian options: It’s tea.“

“Really cute, small, boba tea place in ward village. Only one gentleman working. Not many people inside, just a few enjoying bubble waffles. A lady was hanging out with her dog inside so I brought mine in and ordered the Boba milk tea with puff cream. It was really good, only one size. Not overly sweet, a lot of ice but service was quick. Boba was nice a squishy and tasty. My mom got their new soft serve and enjoyed that as well, said it was really creamy.“

“Swung by after a long day and work and was craving some boba. You have to spend $10 or more to use card so I ended up getting a jumbo milk tea and a caramel cheesecake/cake. The cake was really delicious, pretty sweet, but tasted fresh. The boba was good and it hit the spot. This place is kind of tucked away and I only saw one gentleman working but he was very fast and friendly.“

“Large selection of drinks as you would expect. However, the garage feel is not something I am used to. You get the feeling that merchandising is very important to their business. The claw machine is an interesting addition to the decorKid-friendliness: Claw machine game and lots of random knick knack toys are all over the store.“

“They are the best! Very friendly, i always praise their flavors! I recommend acai banana with fresh strawberries fresh bananas ube ice cream on the top and cant forget the granola!!! This is the drink that got me addicted!!! A must have! 76 souths very own boba cafe!“

“This Teapresso is located next to Yogustory, at 745 Keeaumoku St. Suite 102. It's a small establishment with a colorful interior and limited stool type seating. Primarily for take out orders. The place is decorated with adorable cups and stuffed bubble tea mascots for sale. See pictures. The staff was helpful in answering questions I had about the variety of drinks they made. I ended up ordering a crème brûlée with boba milk tea. It cost $8.00. I ordered it half sweet and it was still on the sweet side for me. The place was quaint and it had a lot of things around the space. You can even sign up for points if you visit any Teapresso. 10/15/23“

“Been here multiple times and they never failed me. I love their drinks here so much that I kept coming back. Prices are reasonable and the space is so cute. Almost every corner it's so artistic.Amongst my favorite drinks are mango purple rice yogurt, ube purple rice yogurt, dragon fruit yogurt & their peach yogurt. They have the best purple rice yogurt in my opinion.Customer service is good and they were nice in here. Waiting time for your drink varies. It also depends if they got lots of customer and most of the time they got a long line which form from the outside.The only thing that I don't like coming here is parking. There are many instances that I want to grab drinks here but didn't went through coz parking is so tough, like really challenging. They only got street parking and most of the time it is occupied but other than that their drinks are pretty competitive. Hope they'll open one in a mall or a foodcourt. That would be awesome!Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow Yeeps!“

“I was craving boba on my shopping trip so I decided to stop by. The cereal milk tea caught my eye and I knew I had to try it. The boba was sweet and chewy, the milk tea tasted like fruity pebbles, and it was really creamy. The women working were very friendly and my order didn't take long at all! It's just a small food truck, so they were out of some things but overall, really well and the price is average.“
