Junbi is located in the heart of Waikiki & they have a wide variety of drinks. Every time I go, it satisfies all those cravings. 10/10 recommend! The service is quick and the whole staff a so nice. read more

Good choices on matcha drinks. Got a matcha lilikoi-Hawaii special with boba. The matcha was strong but the boba was ok. I love boba and the texture was inconsistent with it being soft and hard. They have lots of choices for matcha lovers. Only con is that it's in Waikiki and pricey for the location read more

I stumbled upon this place and saw that they had Matcha so I decided to check it out. My sister also follows the founders on social media so she wanted to try as well. I ordered the guava Matcha with oat milk and Boba. It was so good, it blew my mind! I'm a fan of Boba guys strawberry Matcha latte. Their guava Matcha is like that, except Hawaii version and better! Lol I do believe that they have multiple locations since it is a franchise, but the one in Hawaii has special flavors. I liked it so much that I had to go back one more time before my trip ended. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the other flavors but it will be hard because I like this one so much. read more

Amazing matcha drinks and ice cream! Very strong tea flavor and not excessively sweet. Definitely recommend this over the other matcha spots in town read more

The drinks were awesome! I ordered online and it was very simple to pick up at the window. Located on the 1st floor of royal hawaiian shopping center, Junbi is a place that cant be missed. With its refreshing drinks made of green tea and some kind of nectar or additional beverage, it is one to try! I never thought green tea and guava would go together but it did. The drink was refreshing and you could varely taste the matcha. I appreciated that they also have non caffeinated beverages for the keiki or the non caffeine enthusiasts. You can also buy a drink and add on toppings like boba, aloe, etc. Plan to spend at least $7 for a drink with no add ins. read more

(JK FILMS FAN CIRCA '10) kudos for launching in Waikiki!! Hannah was amazing walking me through the menu & thanks Joe for sharing the two ways to mix our drinks :) Location: Inside Royal Hawaiian, next to Cartier; such a great spacious courtyard area to account for the incoming holiday crowds. Drinks: Strawberry Matcha & Waikiki Punch (exclusive) - refreshing, appreciate the non-caffeinated options, and take a tin souvenir back home. So happy when Instagram foodie influencers mentioned your soft opening and timed perfectly during our visit. At first, we wanted to scope out prior to the grand opening on 11/10/22 and stumble across the storefront. Can not wait to try all the island exclusive me before ending the trip. read more

So happy Junbi opened a location here! I visited this location over the weekend during their soft opening in the evening. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Their self service kiosk is easy to use, but if you have any questions you can ask the staff for recommendations. Each drink is one size, you're able to adjust the sweetness, ice levels, and even alternative dairy (if needed). Try out their island-exclusive drinks as well. Remember to shake the drink! read more

So glad to have been in town during opening week! This was our 2nd time trying Junbi. Our first time was back in 2018 at one of the shops in LA (the one by the college campus) so as soon as I learned opening week was the same week we were in town, we just had to go! We tried: -Madagascar Vanilla Matcha Latte -Strawberry Matcha Latte w Coconut milk -House Black tea with milk & boba Their matcha quality is perfect, refreshing, and so smooth! Really wish I was able to try more of the teas, especially the Lilikoi matcha Fresca & Waikiki punch. Staff are super friendly and very helpful. I'm usually not a coconut milk person, but the recommendation from Hannah for the Strawberry matcha was amazing Please, JUNBI (Joe & David).. please, open a store in either Sacramento or SF/Bay Area, lol! read more

Such a great location with a quick ordering system, keeping their customers in mind. One of the owners of this Junbi location, his wife, and team are so nice and approachable. VERY down to earth. The drinks have a unique twist on matcha and you can choose to add boba, jelly, etc to it-- but, TBH, you really don't need the additional things added since the flavor and drinks as-is are good on its own. Definitely a spot to stop by if you're in Waikiki area and in need of something to drink besides water. We took advantage of the promotional offer they had at the time and received two free drinks for purchasing a Matcha tin. Waited to review after trying their Matcha powder, and-- let me tell you... If you're a matcha lover, definitely give Junbi a chance. instagram: michibixo read more

Genius Brain always end the podcast with a reminder to visit Junbi Waikiki, so I knew I had to make a stop here when I visited Waikiki. The shop is located on the first floor in building C of the Royal Hawaiian Center. They offer a variety of matcha drinks. We ordered the Hoijicha latte (regular sweetness) and Yuzu dragon fruit refresher (light sweetness). While the Hoijicha latte tasted good, I should have asked for half sweet as that's how I normally order milk teas and boba drinks. The refresher was light and delicious. We went back the next day to get more drinks but didn't take pictures. I had the guava matcha cold brew, which was so refreshing in the hot Hawaiian weather. I also snagged a cute souvenir pin. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Waikiki. read more

Came from the SGV and my first stop was to try Junbi! I tried the guava matcha fresca and 10/10. Also came back later and tried the Yuzu Dragonfruit Matcha and so good as well ! Will make one last stop to pick up before going back home. Great service by staff, Hannah, and Joe! Pleasure to meet the king of Joemalia! read more

Drinks: Tried the matcha POG with aloe and the matcha with strawberry. Their match is so good! I taste quality in their matcha for sure. Also, super happy they offer aloe. We got 25% sweet for both drinks since im not a super sweet person and it was perfect. Will be back to try other flavors. Service: Itook super long to order my drink because i wasn't sure what to get. The staff there were so friendly and patient with me and even helped me decide on what to order. Thank you! read more

Junbi - Waikiki - MATCHA POG WITH ALOE - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After months of telling myself to try this place, I finally did! Waikiki has always been a dread with the lack of [free] parking, but I so happened to be in the area. The place is tucked away in the corner next to the center stage of the Royal Hawaiian. The place specializes mostly in matcha and fresh juice. After contemplating on what to get, I settled for the Matcha Pog Fresca, which I believe is a local must try. The service was amazing, i'm not much of a sweet person but the lady taking my order was informative on adjusting the sweetness! Most of the drinks (if not all) range around 7-8 dollars.. Will I try this place again? Maybe if I'm in the Waikiki area. Overall, I believe it is a must try since the drinks are pretty unique! read more

Yummy matcha drinks! Different from what I am used to with all the choices but I really liked it

The best Drinks and service. Love their strawberry guava tea so refreshing!! Location is so convenient next to shopping

Soooo happy this place finally opened! Love the vibe and the concept of this place. I don't usually visit places that just opened because customer service is very important to me and usually new places need a couple weeks at least to iron things out. But I'm glad my coworker and I decided to check it out! Not many ppl knew they were opened so we scored with one-on-one time with Joe and Hannah. Both of them were extremely helpful and took the time to answer our questions and chat with us. We ordered the POG refresher with lychee & aloe which was a bit sweet, but that was because I didn't know we could lower the sweetness. My coworker ordered the POG Matcha Fresca with aloe. We both love the aloe as the add on. Went back another day and tried the Yuzu Dragonfruit Matcha with aloe which was YUM! My coworker got the Lilikoi Matcha Fresca with lychee. Both were yum. Bonus points for how pretty it looked too. Looking forward to trying more of their menu on our next lunch break! read more

I am quite picky with Matcha. This one was on "point". I ordered the Lilikoi Matcha. A great combination of both -- tangy and sweet ! The "Cold Brew Matcha" with Lilikoi is a must have . Jamie and Paige were very helpful and polite, making my experience even better. The Atmosphere is very fast paced, but there are lots of relaxing places to go and grab a seat . read more

Tasty aesthetic looking drinks by Waikiki and if you if you buy the gift card you can redeem a free drink

Always a great treat to have in Waikīkī. Love their location and offerings they have. So happy they're here in Hawaii.

Absolutely love Junbi! One of my go to places for matcha and boba. They have such high quality matcha powder and their drinks are so tasty! We have tried the POG matcha with and without milk, Strawberry matcha, and Guava matcha. My husband and I's favorite are the strawberry matcha with milk and Guava matcha without milk. We always get less sweet and add the real lychee bits SO GOOD. We are from the Bay Area so Junbi is a must stop everytime we come to Hawaii from the mainland! read more

A+! I wasn't looking for something to drink but I stumbled upon this and HAD to try it. I think I ended up with a strawberry matcha + boba (less sweet and less ice). It was refreshing, and the boba was cooked perfectly. Would come back! read more

Expensive tea place with good selection of flavors but execution of the drink missed the mark. Not for me

I was really looking forward to trying the drinks here as I've been going down a matcha rabbit hole for the past few months! The drinks were good, the best matcha drinks so far on our Hawaii trip. However, the matcha wasn't as strong as what I'm normally accustomed to in Toronto. We ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte, Strawberry Matcha (I think they were a little confused so they gave us a regular Matcha) and the Lilikoi Matcha. I really liked the strawberry matcha latte, and Lilikoi but the regular matcha was a little watered down. All the drinks were super refreshing though so we'll definitely want to come back to try the other ones! read more

My friends and I happened to be in the Oahu from California for the opening week and were so excited to try their Hawai'i ~exclusive~ drinks. We got - POG green tea - lilikoi matcha fresca - POG refresher - Waikiki punch - matcha guava The fruit flavors really shone through, I personally enjoyed the lilikoi the most! To really taste the matcha or tea flavor, I recommend 25-50% sweetness. Also for the opening week, they have a promotional deal for a can of ceremonial + 1 or 2 free drinks. Bonus surprise, you might get to meet Joe and his girlfriend! read more

So lucky to be able to try Junbi here at Waikiki (been waiting for this day for a long time - fan of Joe & David). The ordering process was super easy - tablet or the cashier.

I've had a good experience visiting this location. We bought a gift card for $100 and received an extra $25 added with a free drink. I bought some matcha tins home to share with my family and had delicious drinks all vacation long. We stayed close by so it was easy to get here. read more

Heard about this place from watching David's podcasts. Came all the way from the west side for their soft opening before the grand opening madness. Will definitely try this place again when we're in the area. Drinks were delicious! We got the POG Matcha with Aloe, Madagascar Vanilla Chaffe, Guava Matcha with milk, Lilikoi Matcha Fresca and Waikiki Punch. I was hoping for a stronger matcha flavor but I guess with normal level sweetness it may have overpowered the matcha. There was no bitterness so you can tell their matcha was of good quality and prepared well. Ordering process was ok. The cashier let me know that it would be faster if I just use the self checkout. It actually wasn't because I had to go looking for the drinks in the different tabs. Maybe it should be in the order that the menu is in? since it's being used as a point of reference. If it was like how the menu is, then I completely forgot because I was so flustered trying look for the drinks I wanted to order. maybe a search button so you can find the drink you want right away...? Getting the drinks was fast. Once your order is in, the whole team worked together to get the drinks out quick. read more

The food the Waikiki Junbi is outstanding. The location is also great, and the people working face spectacular service

This is the best place to for matcha lovers! The matcha was so refreshing and yummy! I finished my drink almost immediately, and I regret not being able to get it one more time on my trip in Waikiki. I had the matcha guava 50% sweet, and it was perfect. The matcha flavor was authentic and strong. The guava added the perfect amount of sweetness without overpowering the matcha. This place is worth the try! read more

I came here because like many others I am a fan of JK. And honestly, regardless of the drink tasted good or not I'd probably a little bit bias. But luckily, it actually tasted so good there wasn't anything particularly crazy about the drink but there's a few things that I love that other places don't do. One - they can opt milk for oat milk, which many bubble places don't have Two - as the marketed, caffeine drinks, do not give me a crash Three - it's not overly sweet and I did not change the sugar level Didn't try their tapioca or toppings, so I'm not sure the quality of those but if I'm ever in town again at wanna try it read more
