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.

A little hole in the wall Asian coffee shop, but worth a stop. The iced Americano is fantastic. Plenty of pastries and snacks available as well.

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!

Great Potoo

Hands down one of the best milk teas on the island! When in doubt go with the Assam milk tea. Instead of boba I love adding custard and coffee jelly, so ono! The drinks are consistently made well and the staff is friendly! This location is always clean and provides quick service. The smoothies are well made and delish if milk tea isnt your thing. I love coffee or tea at McCully shopping center so I'm very happy to have one on the windward side of the island! The cheesecakes that they sell are also very tasty.

I love this place! Great boba and tea- I get the Asaam milk tea which is one of their basic, signature drinks (with boba)! The couple who runs this place is also super sweet and very fast! Definitely recommend if you're in Kailua!

Service is fast. Stamp card is nice bonus. Tea is always perfect and impossible to make on your own. I go here at least once a week.
