    Watermelon kiwi milk tea with popping bubbles
    Hen N.

    Definitely one of the better bubble tea shops in charleston. It's kind of hidden away in north charleston on rivers so people may pass it by or think the neighborhood is too iffy but the bubble tea does not disappoint. I have come to the point where I ask the servers to make a random concoction and I still end up loving it. Jenny and Xuan are the best! The banhmis are smaller in size than I'm used to from nyc but it's actually similar in size to the ones I've had in Vietnam. I enjoy them! The restaurant itself is very cute with a separate room for dining. There is also good music playing while you wait. I have yet to try the ice cream so I'll have to try that out next time :)

    My 10 yo niece was coming for a visit and told her mom that she wanted to try boba tea. Her mom isn't big on trying new things so this became a job for Uncle Scott. I looked up a few on Yelp because I wanted to bring her to a fun shop. After lunch one day we drove over to Hi! to give her the authentic boba tea experience. There were no other guests at the time which was perfect. I told the staff that she was excited to try boba and they gave her some samples of boba, popping pearls, and jellies... good thing because some of them she didn't like and the whole drink would have ended up in the trash. We settled on strawberry popping pearls and maple sugar milk tea for her and a honeydew milk tea and traditional boba for myself. Plus it was their anniversary so they were doing BOGO drinks! I also got her a little boba squishmallow to commemorate the experience. We enjoyed our drinks in the cutely decorated side room and I noticed they also sell ice cream for those who don't like texture in their beverages. Whether you're a boba-rookie or tenured-in-tapioca, you'll have a great experience at Hi! Boba Tea.

    It really wasn't the nicest shopping center, but the owners of this little place have decked it out, and they are offering a lot. Vats of tea were being hauled around on my visit, and numerous flavors and toppings were available. My kiwi fruit tea with mango popping boba was good to the last drop. They had a couple of food options but nothing vegetarian. However, for the sort of drink I wanted, they were on point.

    The BEST boba I've had in Charleston!!! The tapioca pearls have the best texture, not too soft and not too hard. My boyfriend got the mango nada which was a great balance of spicy and slightly sweet! The tajin straw was a nice garnish too. The variety of milk teas is unique and I love the stickers, keychains, plushies they sell. Wholly Cow ice cream is available for sale as well. I can't wait to come back! Very friendly and fast service.

    Watermelon fruit tea + kiwi popping
    Amanda M.

    I went during a busy cup sleeve event to try their boba. The staff was very busy but I noticed there was no real order of how they were making drinks. My drink then got lost. I asked once about my drink and after about 15 minutes several more were made behind me, I asked them about my drink again and they finally stopped and made it. I was a bit disappointed that I was standing right in front of them for so long and no one thought anything of it. I got a watermelon fruit tea with kiwi popping boba. The fruit tea didn't taste like much and the popping boba was good. Maybe I would have to go back on a not busy day to give it a try. I also hope they figure out the line production a bit better.

    Thai green milk tea & oolong milk tea
    Kat T.

    This place is super cute! It is well hidden so definitely keep an eye out when you're looking for it! Staff was super fast. I got the Thai green milk tea. It's essential matcha with milk. The boba was nice and chewy. I really liked the texture. I wish it had been a bit sweeter but that's my preference. Hubs got the oolong milk tea with boba. It was good. I liked the sweetness level!

    Milk tea and pandan waffle

    The perfect boba place doesn't exi... Hi! Boba Tea might be the one. This v cute cafe also serves banh mi, waffles, and ice cream. I think I like everything about this place. It's really inviting, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has a concise yet exhaustive menu. The counter service is fast, the place is clean and the people working there are patient and informative. Highly recommend the pandan waffle it's green on the inside. Had to spin the block on this review to mention the banh mi. They use a particular baguette which I believe makes it special. I'd be interested to know where the bread is made. All the flavors are just right and the sauce portion is enough to make the sandwich slightly moist which is quite wonderful. The price is also reasonable. A++

    I enjoyed Hi! Boba for the first time today and will absolutely be back!! 1. the service is fast and friendly! 2. there is so much variety so you can customize your perfect drink, whether it be tea or a smoothie. (they also had some super tasty looking macarons that i'll have to try!) 3. the space is cheerful and welcoming. 4. they're also very supportive of other local small businesses by hosting events. truly the whole package ‍

    This place is SO cute!! I'm a huge fan of boba and this bubble tea store did not disappoint! I was overwhelmed with the amount of options and customization you have to choose from, but I opted for the mango milk tea with standard tapioca boba. The staff is also very friendly and it took maybe about 5 minutes for me to receive my order. Will be back!

    10% Military & Student Discount here! This place also has great Large/Tall cup portion for what you pay. My girlfriend and I both LOVE Hi Boba Tea! Family-owned business and extremely friendly staff. I've been a longtime customer and one day, when the owner was in, he gave away free hats & items that usually cost $10+ for just visiting! Their Thai Milk Tea is SOOOO GOOOOOD!

    If your looking for authentic Boba, make sure and try Hi! I would of never known it was there due to its location. It's tucked away off Rivers in a shopping center behind Gerald's Tire near Remount. The staff was beyond friendly and appreciative of our business. Not to mention patient with me since I couldn't make up my mind on what to order. There is so many choices! The employee pushed me to order something I have not ordered and I went with the coconut boba with mango popping pearls. I did tell her I don't like sweet and she made it just that way. It was perfect! They have all kinds of boba, smoothies, teas, and even some food options. Be sure and stop in and give them a try!

    Super good, quick and friendly! Really cute inside. The strawberry boba is my favorite and is especially good in the matcha!

    We stumbled upon this place after attending a local church. We didn't realize how big it was since…read moreit was attached to a Mexican bakery in supermarket. The first time we sat outside in their newly renovated outdoor patio, which was so nice and beautiful. Our server greeted us with some sweetened espresso and cinnamon, which was a nice treat. The empanadas here are insane and you must get this. This was probably the best empanada I've had at a restaurant. The second time we returned, we dined inside. The service was a bit slower this time and it took longer for us to get our food. We ordered some of their specialty coffees, which came in these cute mugs and glasses. This time we tried their Arepas de plantano that came with cheese and a mole sauce. This was also very good, especially with the sauce. We ordered the giant huevos rancheros platter to share and it truly did take up almost the entire table lol. They put all the toppings in separate dishes so you could build your own essentially. This was a lot of food and we had plenty leftover. This could've fed 4-5 people! The only disappointing thing about this was that we didn't get any steak as shown on the menu and just chicken. When we mentioned it the server who was very nice but didn't speak much English said she told us but I was completely unaware. Everything still tasted good but we did wish there was some steak along with the chicken. The French toast dish was decadent and sweet, but the bread itself was moist and crispy on the edges. There was a small discrepancy at the end with our bill because the price of the platter didn't match what was on the receipt. They were unable to adjust it but gave us a gift card for the balance. Overall we still had a good time and would definitely come back. It was much more of a unique brunch experience that I've had in Charleston so far.

I was torn between my usual tamales or empanadas but ended up going with the empanadas full of pork wrapped in flaky pastry goodness. I saw they had agua frescas so had to get in on their jamaica // hibiscus flavor. My friend got the tamales and the pork was super juicy. Staff is smiling, friendly, and happy to see you there. It's a good spot to catch up with friends and family without feeling rushed. Great hospitality and we loved the complimentary coffee shot that had a sweetness to it. We will be back to slowly go through that menu! Parking is also a'plenty at the piggly wiggly shopping center.

I was skeptical though because the photos showed all brightly colored teas or whipped cream-topped coffees. The menu does not show the ingredients, but when I asked, they said all the coffees and proteins are soy-based which I can't have, unfortunately. :( The teas don't have sugar, but they are pre-mixed powder, so there's no unsweetened option.

She also told me what their number one selling items are which are the protein crepes and waffles which I'm interested in trying in the future. Food: I ordered a strawberry smoothie and it was very delicious. I didn't want to have anything with chunks due to me doing a liquid only fast.

Opportunities: Where I came from on the road I had to make a left then an immediate right to get to the location due to me taking some time to find the sign. If there was a way it could be bigger it would be great, but if it isn't it won't be that big of a deal to me especially since I know where to go in the future. Overall: I have no complaints when it comes to this area. If you are looking for protein shakes and meals, this is the place to go to! A big thanks to Jessica and her A1 customer service!|
