The only boba place at the mall, in the food court. I was actually in the mood for some lemonade, but settled for Thai tea. Surprisingly the juices are more expensive than what I ordered. They have over 60 flavors of boba, juices and smoothies. Boba drinks start at $5 then go up. So instead of a juice I ended up getting it without the boba in it. You'd think it didn't have the tapioca balls it would be cheaper, Nope! When I was ready to order, the young lady just stood there, didn't acknowledge me standing there or make eye contact but couple minutes later. I think they need to work on their customer service. They also have a frequent buyer card, which I asked her for, if you choose to come back.The Thai tea was alright, too sweet for my liking and with bad service. Most likely not going back. read more

Maui finally has a more legit boba place! I love boba. I was excited to try them out when they've first opened and have gone back on numerous occasions. They offer a long list of different flavor options that consist of bubble drinks, smoothies, & juices. I've tried a good amount of them, but I normally opt for my usual li hing mui or honeydew melon boba. Those never fail me. A lot of the other flavors that I've tried (taro, thai tea, strawberry li hing mui, etc) were just ok and often times a hit or miss. They do allow you to *kind of* customize your drinks. The worker told me they can only mix to up to 2 different flavors. Overall, it's just your standard boba drink. It's probably your best option though considering the lack of decent places to get boba on Maui. read more

Really enjoy the BOBA (cooked tapioca pearl) milk teas and smoothies at HiTEA, they are so good. These are the best BOBA drinks I've had on Maui so far. My favorite flavor is the li hing mui... this smoothie is SO yummy. The honeydew is amazing, and the regular milk tea is great too. The strawberry, green tea, chocolate and Thai milk teas were also tasty. I always ask for extra tapioca pearls in my milk teas and smoothies. They charge an extra .50 cents to add extra BOBA, but it's worth it. With the extra tapioca pearls, the drinks are even better. I love how this place hot seals the top of the milk teas with a machine and plastic seal after they make it. This is so hygienic and makes it so much easier to transport the drinks in the car, because they don't spill over. Don't forget to ask for your stamp card and stamp when you buy any BOBA drinks. If you buy 10, you'll get the 11th free. read more

I got the mango lychee boba tea which was super good and hit the spot on a hot day.

Ordered the Honey Jasmin Green Tea Boba and it was phenomenal. I don't recall the last time I had such fresh, tasty, complimentary-flavored boba before. The honey was sweet, but not overwhelming. The boba itself was quite squishy and I could not get enough of it. Highly recommend ordering boba teas from here :) read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE. If Maui had more boba shops this place would be out of business. I asked if the wintermelon tea had any tea or if it was just made with water because I've worked in a boba shop and other shops I've been to make it either way. And one employee answered with attitude saying "it's made with tea" with a look on her face as if I'm dumb. So I asked what kind of tea they use (black, green, etc.) and she just said "it's a TAIWAN wintermelon TEA" again with a look on her face and proceeded to say "it's a Filipino drink" lol. Thanks for the amazing explanation? I'm Filipino btw. read more

this is my go-to spot to get my boba fix after moving from oahu to maui! i wish maui had more boba spots. i always order their chocolate banana boba smoothie. they nail it every single time! my man always orders the honeydew smoothie and he enjoys it. also for future tips and reference: i always say the number of the drink i want + the name of it so that there's less of a chance of miscommunication. i know that the language barrier may be hard for them so i just do that! (i.e., "can i have the #20 the chocolate banana smoothie with boba please?") it's that simple and it makes it easier on them too! :) read more

Everytime I come to this mall I always stop here. My go to is the Avocado smoothie (made with real avocados) with lychee jelly and boba. The lychee jelly is an upcharge, but it's worth it. I usually get it with only the jelly and no boba because I get annoyed with chewing on them. The boba here is really good with the perfect chewy texture and sweetened just right. I dislike it when the boba is hard and has no flavor. read more

Great place to stop by while shopping. This place has a huge selection of flavors! I ordered the jasmine milk tea and it was pretty average. It wasnt very sweet, which was a plus, but dont expect it to be outstanding if you're familar with boba. Overall its refreshing and will satisfy your boba craving. read more

We came Maui looking for some boba and this place is the only place that has good rating for boba. I wanted to be safe and ordered Thai tea with boba Bc u can't really mess up Thai tea. Well they still messed it up. It wasn't good at all. read more

I only wanted fresh fruit, so they customized my smoothie to include papaya, banana and strawberry, blended with coconut milk and no sugar. My husband really liked his chocolate smoothie. Bonus: all drinks are made with boba! If we lived on the island, we would frequent this place. read more

I've had many bubble drinks back home on Oahu & I am glad that Maui finally has one. I love the location that it's at the main mall food court side. They have a large selection of flavors, $4.95 is a standard price for a regular size cup, & the workers are pretty chill. Nothing special about it just big on selection of flavors pretty much it. I had better back home but at least maui is catching up a bit (sorry to be the buzz kill on that). read more

The best place on Maui for boba smoothies. They have a nice wide variety of flavors for both smoothies and milk tea. They also serve regular tea (green, black, jasmine) drinks. You're also able to grab some poke or bentos if you wish. Sometimes the line gets pretty long but the ladies behind the counter usually move fast. read more

Passion fruit boba smoothie. Tastes yum yum! But I left it to stand and it disintegrated into some sort of powder on the bottom. They promise they use fresh fruit. Do they? Hmm.. a tiny bit suspicious. Decide for yourself. Would I buy again? 60% yes. My trecherously unhealthy tongue loved it. read more

3 stars for drink itself only! Got the jasmine milk tea with boba less ice. Boba is pretty sweet and soft. The tea flavor is pretty good but it's diluted from too much "less ice." Customer service could use some major work. The guy who takes the order appeared annoyed and uninviting when I asked if they accept Apple Pay. read more

I like their Mango Tango smoothie. Ive been told their boba drinks are great too. I'll have to try it next time. Their customer service is always great. read more

Boba smoothies here are pretty good. Boba pearls are a little on the softer side and less sweet, compared to Kung Fu Tea (mainland chain) which are more firm/chewy and sweetened. The green tea smoothie here is on the thinner side and not too sweet. Served in a 24 oz cup (huge), I prefer it that way anyway. My other family members got the mocha coffee and thai tea smoothies which they thought were excellent. read more

Was craving boba and luckily I stumbled across this while trying to figure out what to eat. I ordered the honeydew milk tea and it was ready minutes after I paid. Only one size and reasonable price but i noticed there was a lot of ice they put inside. as i ate my lunch, i drank and my milk tea just tasted watered down. Flavor was there when I initially took the first sips but after that, jus watery and lacked flavor. Lots of choices to choose from but not the best Ive had. read more

Pretty good bubble drink place. You can get over ice or blended drinks and if it is a fruit drink, they use real fruit. The avocado banana drink is good and has a nice banana flavor. All drinks are made to order. read more

Hi Tea Cafe - Avocado banana blended bubble drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

At first I was very interested in ordering a tea apparently the cashier misunderstood when I said avocado taro and they made me avocado banana so they kindly took back that drink and remade my original request with a few modifications on the order itself which is really nice perk and the wine selection here and they also offer a lower team membership card read more

They only get the stars but because of their service. They were very attentive when taking the order and acknowledged customers fast. I ordered an avocado bubble drink well let's say I only got half an avocado a little bit of the condensed milk they add and the rest was water and crushed ice. The Boba seems to be is already place and sitting in the counter, honestly I don't know how long it's been sitting there. I paid 5.16 for it which is not bad but I would rather pay a little more and get more avocado. I want a real avocado smoothie and not a watered one! *like I mention the customer service is good. I was contacted by the owner to let me know in order to make your drinks the way you like them you have to request it. If you are going there for the first time and you like your drinks with a little more of the fruit flavor ask for extra fruit (extra charge) might be worth it. read more

YASSSSS!!! Finally in Kahului area!!! We ordered Thai tea and avocado/coconut both with boba!!! FLAVORS: I give a high five! So much to choose from CUSTOMER SERVICE : staff was great! BOTTOM/SINKERS: they only have boba. They just opened up I'll wait awhile. Hopefully they bring some flavored poppers, flavored jellies, pudding etc... SPEED/CLEANLINESS : fast and smooth but it seems like if they put more that 6 people on shift it will be trouble getting around. PRICE: $$ great price and they use frozen and fresh fruits. I didn't see any powder base mix so that's good right!!??? A few things they need start doing is writing names on the cups or call out receipt numbers I can see customers grabbing other people's drink even if it's the same flavor order but one was there before the other!!! When we had to get our drink there was a crowd at the counter but the lady (might be the owner) that worked was making sure people are getting their right drink which is fine but i can see this being an issue down the road! Like Spending too much time on who's drink is who's and the rest will just be a domino effect. We are locals will be back.... Hopefully to see some changes :) oh and for the locals they need to start doing those stamp/reward cards :) THANKS HI TEA!!!! ;) read more

Good menu selection to choose from. We ended up getting an avocado smoothie with some boba with half the sweetener and it was the perfect drink to act as a light pre-dinner snack. They put banana into their smoothies, and I could have done without that a!s I wanted more of an avocado taste, but the creaminess of the avocado still came through. Overall, would recommend making a stop by HiTEA read more

I wanted milk tea, the most popular flavor of, well, milk tea boba drinks, which they said they didn't have. Instead I went with jasmine milk tea. I didn't open it until I got home which I regret. That drink was so DISGUSTING!!!! It tasted like a 99 cent cheap perfume bottle was dumped into some milk! I couldn't drink it it was foul and disgusting!!! Imagine drinking floral perfume?! I wish I could get a refund but I live in Kihei, so not driving back. I also ordered a Thai coffee smoothie and another smoothie. They didn't give me a punch card, which I asked for, and didn't realize it till I got to my car. My sister, who was with me when we ordered, went back to ask for the lunch card, and the lady gave her a BLANK card! Are you serious? Horrible customer service and food! They are so shamefully stingy here! I had to go back from the parking lot for my stamps since they wouldn't give it to my sister, who was with me when ordering as one of the drinks was. By the time I got back to my car to drive off my smoothie was completely liquid, as it was watery from the get go. Waste of money, disgusting artificial flavors, couldn't even drink because I wasn't sure if there was some type of chemical in the jasmine milk tea, and stingy, inept workers. If you want boba drinks, go to Made in Hope in Wailuku! They have great flavors and quality drinks, and staff is friendly not incompetent like this place. read more

This is one of the only boba places on the island. Located at the corner of the food court. Friendly service and decent prices. I got the Jasmine milk tea which tasted slightly watered down. The boba was okay. More chewy than I'm used to but had a honey flavor which was good. My bf got the honeydew smoothie and he enjoyed it a lot. The smoothie was smooth in texture and refreshing. read more

The only boba place i know in Maui. It's at the second floor of the mall. This one dude is dope he stamped our card multiple times since we always forget to bring it. I usually get their avocado drink and my gf likes their taro. The boba is not the best I've ever tried; it's on the chewy side but it's all good. The service is fast and i think the drink usually comes with boba in them unless you specifically asked not to. It's never busy and there's always parking. read more

All the people giving this place 5 stars must have different taste buds than I do... Given, I only went to this place twice on a recent trip to Maui.. The first time I ordered an apple smoothie. It was just okay but not tasty enough to finish. No one else in my family loved it either. The boba is extremely squishy and has a strong licorice taste. The second time I ordered the honeydew smoothie with no boba. The guy repeated "No Boba" to me, then told another guy to make the honeydew, forgetting to add the "no boba" part. I only know this because of course boba was added to my drink and they had to spend a few extra minutes fixing it. That one employee was lazy and forgetful. Then the honeydew flavor was so overwhelmingly artificial, I could only drink a little before grossness set in. So no, I wouldn't come back. read more

As a Californian, I'm always on the hunt for another cup of boba and HiTEA exceeded my expectations (I've had a lot of negative out-of-state boba experiences). My favorite part of their menu was that there were markers for what teas and slushes were made from fresh fruit vs. powder. I ordered the pineapple slush with double boba. It was richly pineapple (I asked if the fruit was from the island - it is!) and the boba was chewy and firm enough (A tier, but not S tier). It was a little too sweet and I thought they added more ice than pineapple than I would've liked but everything else was good. read more

I had a boba tea and a smoothie, however it was horrible!The tea was powdery and bitter, the boba wasn't even chewy, the smoothie didn't taste like anything, and worst of all, the workers made me wait 20 minutes because they didn't realize that my smoothie was done because they were gossiping about someone. read more

I got their Taiwan Winter Melon tea with boba. The drink was pretty good but I'll cut to the chase: more than half my drink was ice. For $5+, I expect more liquid than ice, otherwise it's not worth it. read more

Do NOT order any of the powder drink, they always come watered down and taste absolutely TERRIBLE. Customer service alright, would be 1 star but they have some decent drinks and the boba taste average. Overall, nothing special, convenient if you want boba at the mall but don't order powder drinks. read more

Been here a couple times when I stopped by the mall. It's great. I tried the honey lemon, honeydew, lychee and milk tea so far. My favorite is the milk tea, I was a bit hesitant because it was milk and tea.. I thought it was weird but it works!! Wish they had some sort of frequent buyer special, I'd be back for more in a heartbeat. :) read more

Hi Tea Cafe - Taro Coconut...ONOLICIOUS!!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Kahului, Hawaii

First off, I'm from the land of powdered bubble tea drinks, so this was a vast improvement from what I can get at home. They use fresh fruit and real tea for their drinks. And to top it off, they actually make pretty good drinks (*gasp*). My boyfriend and I opted for the Papaya Banana blended drink, and oh my, it was instantly refreshing. We knew we had made the right choice. The boba was also just the right consistency, making the drink the perfect combination. My only gripe about the place is that they put the straw in for you, so you don't get a chance to shake up your drink to mix in the boba (Well, you could, but your drink would go flying everywhere, if you didn't securely cover the hole). I prefer to disperse my boba, instead of having it sit at the bottom of my drink, but I'm sure everyone has their own preference. The place is kind of hard to find, as it's nestled in a little outdoor mall. I hadn't anticipated it being in the food court area, so we walked most of the mall before finding it. Regardless, as an out-of-towner, this place far surpassed what I could get at home, but I also know that the drinks could be better. Though, I would definitely revisit for a bubble tea fix. Overall: 4/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 read more

Their tea is medium sweet and not that sugary! I like how their boba is still chewy, but still tasteful!

Fresh juice! Always pleasant service with a smile. Orders prepared in front of you. I recommend a daily visit!! read more
