A boba lover's dream come true. Each time we visit the Big Island, my partner and I ensure that we go to Tea O'Clock. Unique among bubble tea stores, Tea O'Clock handcrafts their boba and creates their fruity drinks using real fruit. Tea O'Clock's passion and attention to detail is unparalleled. Their classic milk tea is my favourite, but I also love their banana-foam matcha milk tea. Thank you, Tea O'Clock!

I stopped by this boba shop during my vacation on the Big Island, and it was such a great experience! The staff member who helped us was incredibly patient and friendly. He adjusted my drink exactly how I like it without any hesitation and even gave us some awesome recommendations on places to check out around the island. It really felt like he loved what he does and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed both our drinks and our trip. Highly recommend stopping by! great service, great vibes, and delicious boba! 🌺🧋

We absolutely love Tea o’clock !! Since we live kona side I always look forward to coming down for the farmers market to enjoy their drinks from their mobile truck. It’s always a special treat ! When I saw that they opened up a shop I was over the moon happy! I don’t have to wait for our once a month visit anymore! I had no idea they’ve been open now for a couple years !! Their place is so clean and cute and comfortable. The drinks .. all the drinks are the best, made from fresh quality ingredients. Ofcorse Matcha Kiss is my absolute favorite. This time I enjoyed the visit with my sons and we had so much fun playing games they had available. We stayed for over an hour just enjoying eachother company laughing and taking story with the sweet owners who gave the boys their attention as they asked different questions about the drinks. Mom and son dates are important to me so being able to just relax and enjoy our time was the best. We will be coming back more regularly for sure !! Thank you guys for making our ohana feel welcomed! If you haven’t already it’s worth the drive Whether you stay in or mobile order or just to go you’ll love it !!

We first saw them at the farmers market and then knew we had to come again. Absolutely love their ube lattes and their matcha. It’s a quality spot for sure!

I wasn’t expecting such FREAKING AWESOME boba drinks in Waimea but they were spectacular. What makes them so good? The boba was perfectly soft fresh and chewy. The matcha was smooth and not bitter. The presentation was so pretty with all the layers and the food was good too. The people working were so friendly and you can order online so everything was ready when we got there.
Tea O’Clock – A Colorful, Flavor-Packed Stop in Waimea
Tea O’Clock has become a must-stop for our family anytime we’re in Waimea. It’s the perfect spot for an afternoon treat—our kids love it here!
The drinks are as fun as they are delicious: bright, colorful, refreshing, and super affordable. Whether it's fruit teas, milk teas, or something in between, you really can’t go wrong—every sip is a hit.
Our personal must-order? The Kimchee Pastrami Sandwich. It’s crave-worthy—savory, spicy, and totally satisfying. It might sound like an unexpected combo, but trust us, it works.
This place hits the sweet spot (literally and figuratively): family-friendly, fast service, and full of flavor.

Great place especially since it’s next to Ippys so I can get some food and get boba so fast since it’s so close, the tapioca balls are so good and you ca. tell that they hand make then and don’t just buy them cheap from amazon, all is good but prices are a little high, will go next time I visit big island!

A Hidden Gem with Heart!
Tea O'Clock Hawaii in Waimea is an absolute treasure. From the moment we walked in, Arlene, Ryan, Roe, and Brooklyn made our family feel right at home — like we were visiting friends rather than just stopping for drinks.
Their teas are incredibly refreshing, full of flavor and care, and the handmade tapioca boba? Truly to die for — soft, chewy, and absolutely perfect. We loved it so much that when we heard they were at an event in Kona, we made it a point to find them and get more!
You can tell how much pride they take in what they do. It’s not just a drink, it’s an experience filled with aloha. We’ll definitely be back again and again.
