We got the shave ice with ube ice cream. It was really cute before we turned it into a monster. The place is cozy. It would be a sweet place to go on a date, but the blenders are a bit loud. It might work if one or both of you are deaf or used to working on an airstrip though.

Best coffee + tea place on the whole island! We got the mango black tea, peach black tea with lychee jelly, coffee with boba, and strawberry milk tea with boba and lychee jelly twice in a day because it’s so flavorful and delicious. So so great, well balanced flavors, just sweet enough.

This place is my go-to boba spot. The iced assam milk tea is perfect every time, the service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere gives off comfortable study vibes. The lady who works here greets everyone and is nice.

I love this location! The staff are so friendly! This is the best boba I’ve found in Kailua and it makes me happy to give $$ to nice owners. They seem to care a lot about what you want, they have specials and new orders and I love the selection of snacks. It’s clean too!

One of the best and we’ve been to close to a hundred boba tea places. Rarely if ever do Boba tea places offer a Jumbo size cup option. The only suggestion I have is give plastic straws for larger drinks. The paper straws fall apart and become useless for larger drinks. In fact paper straws just don’t work well with boba tea so grab extra paper straws.

Outstanding experience here! After grabbing dinner at the Thursday farm market across the street, we stopped in at Coffee or Tea for a dessert. My son, a mango smoothie connoisseur, had seen the bubble tea sign during our trips in and around Kailua and wanted to give it a try. We are glad we did!First, the menu lists the kinds of milk tea available: Assam, oolong, jasmine, etc - always a sign of a real tea in your drink.We ordered a grande Assam milk tea, grande mango smoothie, and a shaved ice dessert (Asian style shaved ice, not the Hawaiian style at most places in Hawaii).Grande is their smallest size, but we found it very generous for the price.The mango smoothie had a nice consistency and the boba pearls were perfectly cooked - soft and still a little warm when my son received the drink.The Assam milk tea was also excellent. Same perfect boba, and a milk tea that was slightly sweet and smooth.The highlight was the shaved ice. For a very reasonable 6 dollars, we received a shave ice with our choice of 5 toppings. We chose three traditional asian toppings: azuki (red) bean, herb (grass) jelly, and condensed milk; a new topping: coffee jelly; and ice cream because...ice cream! The shave ice was large enough for all 3 of us to share. The coffee jelly was great! A coffee taste, but not too sweet! Azuki (red) bean was a nice soft, but not mushy texture. Grass jelly was a subtle taste and not too gelatinous. The ice cream was also very good quality: creamy and not full of air! To top of our experience, the owner/server was fantastic! It may have helped that it was a down time, but everything was made with care and presented artfully. Also, he could tell that we were enjoying the shaved ice and offered two of his other toppings for us to sample: custard and tea jelly! They were both also excellent. We found out that he makes the coffee jelly, tea jelly, and custard himself. Handmade toppings explains why the taste and quality were so high! We can't wait to go back, and only wish we had found Coffee or Tea? earlier in our trip!
