    This milk tea place is at the Old Stadium Mall. The decor is nice and modern. They have a few seats near the glass window. They sell teas, rice yogurts, smoothies and milk caps with tons of different toppings. What makes them different is that they sell authentic Pop Mart blind box toys. I was so tempted to get the Haci Pupu, lol. Plus, you get $5 off $15 if you use your American Savings Bank debit card. I got the large Mango Milk Cap $7.75 and the hubby got the large Brown Sugar Milk Tea $6.50 plus $0.95 for the brown sugar crystal boba. The Mango Milk Cap had real mango fruit in the drink. It was still a bit tart even at 100% sweetness. Next time, I'll ask for 125% sweetness. the milk cap gave it a creamy texture, which was so good. My hubby liked his milk tea, but wasn't happy with the boba. He said it was crunchy. However, it was his fault. He ordered the crystal boba instead of the regular boba. I'm going to have to school him on the drinks and toppings.

    Classic Milk Tea
    Kristina C.

    I decided to come back to try Lunar Tea again since last time I went was years ago! Service is fast and the cashier was knowledgeable about the drinks. Anyways, I ordered a classic milk tea, 75% sweet, with no toppings. I'll be honest, for 75% sweet it felt like I was drinking syrup. It was VERY sweet and the tea flavor was weak. However, my boyfriend got a roasted oolong tea milk tea, 50% sweet and that was perfect. I'm just shocked at how big of a difference of the sweetness is. Overall, I think maybe I would come back and try a drink at 50%.. but I'm not too sure..

    Fine but not my favorite spot. Lunar tea has a cute space with a few seats and easy parking. Their drinks are ~$7-10, which is average for boba these days, and I think the quality is also about average. I had the oolong milk tea and added boba, which I got at 50% sweetness but found it was still very sweet. It was probably from the brown sugar boba, but I'd go down to 25% next time. The milk tea was as expected - I wish it had a stronger tea flavor, but it was fine. Overall I'd come back here if I'm in the area and craving boba, but wouldn't make a special trip.

    Love that lunar tea is consistently delicious! Have always loved their drinks, matcha, ube, fruit teas, boba, coffee, every drink that we tried has been consistently good! Parking lot is small and noticed that they put up parking signs to scan put in info but didnt realize it till we left! Also the last two times I went the parking has been full! Gave up looking and waiting for a stall and left. Everytime we are in the area though it is a go to! Their matcha is one of the best and actually tastes like matcha! They also have tons of gacha machines and Asian snacks to buy. Service is always great and they have a stamp card to reward you after ten drinks.

    Lunar Tea is a cozy boba shop located across the Old Stadium Park. The interior features crane machines, plushies for sale and adorable moon decor to match it's name. Service is friendly and helpful. My favorite things to order are the matcha latte and the brown sugar milk tea. Their teas are strong and flavorful with adjustable sweetness. The shop is small and definitely a place to grab and go but they have a few counter seats and benches if you want to chill for a bit and enjoy your beverage. Don't forget to grab a stamp card if you know you'll be returning!

    Very clean inside. Parking is a B**** (horrible) btw but other than that the everything went smoothly. Our orders wet correct and everyone was nice. But I didn't like that they have a "green tea" when it's actually a Jasmine green tea. I know this isn't a problem for some people but when you're expecting something and it isn't, it is. The taste is different. I don't mind a Jasmine Green Tea but they should advertise that. Just saying. And my fellow Yelp readers, be warned!

    I was so excited to try Lunar Tea because it was a family friend's favorite place to get boba. I'm happy to report that this spot met all of my expectations and then some! I came on a weekday, and it was completely empty. The single employee helped me choose from their extensive menu. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had rice yogurt drinks offered here!! Prior to this, I had only ever seen one other place that offered rice yogurt drinks. I ended up getting a large mango rice yogurt, 50% sweet. My order came very quickly, and it was absolutely delicious! The mango was very fresh, and I enjoyed the chew of the purple rice. You don't even need any extra toppings. My only critique is that it could've used more rice. Please note that this drink DOES have milk for any milk-intolerant friends. My family member got the ube smoothie, which he said was really good and flavorful! But he recommended getting it 75% sweet. Inside, you can find some seats/tables along the window walls. I tried studying here, but the glare is a bit uncomfortable for anyone who is light-sensitive. There are also snacks and merchandise for sale! And a cute claw machine, too! Parking is free for the 1st hour (I believe), but there's a slight fee after that. But it shouldn't be much of a problem for pick-up orders. Also, ask for a stamp card! You get a free drink after your 10th purchase!! Overall, I highly recommend Lunar Tea. I will be back to try the azuki flavor!

    Wanted a quick boba drink as I was in the area and decided to try Lunar Tea for the first time. The vibe inside is very cozy with ample seating and gacha/claw machines, which seems to be pretty fitting recently. Riley was very knowledgeable about the drinks and patient with me when ordering as I mentioned I wanted something different than my usual brown sugar boba order, so she recommended the purple rice yogurt. Not too sweet, pretty good to my liking! I will be coming back :)

    Purple rice drink

    I got the purple rice yogurt and it was delicious. I haven't had one since Yomie Yogurt closed down in Ala Moana. Will def be back to try other drinks in the menu!

    Came by lunar tea multiple times during our trip and it was definitely a treat! We were brought here by a family friend and I am happy that they did. Each time I did try different things, so I got the regular brown sugar milk tea, and the Hong Kong milk tea which was my ultimate favorite. The boba was really good and the staff is super friendly. There is minimal parking but every time we went we got lucky. One of the times I called ahead on the phone because I knew they were closing soon and wanted to get my order in before hand. They were super friendly, and were willing to accommodate my request, and had the drink ready when I arrived. I was able to pay in store. Inside the decor is really cute too and they have a claw machine.

    Cutest little boba shop! The parking in this little shopping center is tight, but I've always been able to find a spot. The inside of this shop is very aesthetic and very in-theme. The hanging lights above the bar seats are moons and their popular drinks are marked with a moon on their menu. There's lots of seating, from wooden barstools to a giant clothespin bench and giant dice stools. There's perfectly organized shelves of unique snacks and collectibles for purchase. There's even a claw machine to play in here! The workers were nice and the drinks weren't bad. Definitely need to try different things next time!

    Their ube smoothie with boba is solid. It's not on the sweet side, just the way we like it. I believe you can adjust sweetness level. They have a bunch of claw machines inside if you're into it. They have some asian snacks if you're feeling hungry too. I tried their banana chip snack and enjoyed it.

    One of my favorite boba places!! Was Hana Tea, but since they moved from Kalihi, and I found out about Lunar tea, we now have a go to for our brown sugar milk tea fix. Cute boba shop located in Moi'ili'ili. They have a cute claw machine with stuffed animals, labubu, monsters, coin purses, more stuffies, they also have Asian snacks and chips. Never had a problem with customer service. Always nice and friendly. Since we been 2 days in a row, white girl with braids and glasses, long hair, always nice and polite and patient. Sorry don't have her name. They have variety types of drinks from milk tea, to brewed tea, fresh milk, fruit tea, rice yogurts, smoothies, milk cap, and also variety toppings. You can also choose your sweetness level. Again, my go to is brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba - in case any of my friends reading this lol... and the wife likes the rice yogurts. She likes the purple rice yogurt and today she tried the mango rice yogurt and she said it's her fave. She likes it. Definitely make this one of your go to boba/ desert/ sweet treat stop! Don't forget your stamp card :)

While traveling I try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop every day and on this morning it happened to be Maleko Coffee and Pastries. This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.

It was less than three dollars including tax, so definitely affordable. The guava filling was great, but the donut itself was kind of bland. If it weren't so cheap, I would have given it three stars.

This is the only standing Kulu Kulu and I hope this place does not close, or if it does relocate, come closer to Central Oahu where the rent is cheaper, haha (hint). This location is on the outer edges of Waikiki on Hobron Lane in Eaton Square. I rarely venture to Waikiki, and if I do make the dreaded drive to "town", this place and Kan Sushi will be the only regular places where I will make my stop(s), because its so worth it. I've had a long-standing love-affair with Kulu Kulu from the Shirokiya Food Court location with it's waffle bears and Hello Kitty waffles, the takeout Nama Chocolate cups stocked at Mitsuwa Marketplace and now here, in town. The Ube Coconut Mousse $6.95 blew our minds, it was THE best tasting thing, ever. Both the ube and the coconut were not cloying, and as with all of their treats, not overly sweet either. That's why I love Japanese pastries, they get the sweetness just perfect and I have no idea how they mastermind that ratio! Strawberry Panna Cotta $5.95 was creamy, flavorful, delicious and surprisingly light and refreshing for such a creamy dessert. I normally don't get this kind of combination of flavors, and it tasted like something you'd get in a Michellin-rated establishment. Looking back at the photos, I see vanilla bean seeds in the panna cotta, so every loving detail and nuance shows through with each mouthful. Nama Chocolate $5.75 is my go-to chocolate LOVE. It's cut into cool creamy semi-sweet squares dusted with cocoa and it melts in your mouth! This is my favorite of all things that Kulu Kulu makes. I actually enjoy this better than the famous Royce Chocolates from Japan. We ordered another seasonal Strawberry dessert slice cake but it was eaten before I could review (and/or taste it); I've heard it was very very delicious. This place is so good that I plan to bring my friends who will be visiting from Virginia here to try their pastries. I also plan to support this business for as long as I can and make more frequent trips to town just to get these amazing desserts.
