    Waikiki Surf
    Jonna L.

    Do not get an acai bowl here!! It was super expensive ($17!!) for a small acai bowl that clearly came from the back freezer and was frozen solid. I had to wait until it defrosted to eat it, and there was absoutely nothing special about it. The only decent thing was the strawberry was good on top. I would never come back, at least for the acai.

    Affordable for waikiki and 16 oz
    Andrea M.

    Mini monster cafe is located in the Royal Hawaiian food court. I had this place saved for a while and in my quest to find my favorite matcha I wanted to give it a try. I got the 16 oz lavender matcha, it was just the right amount of sweetness for me (a lot of matchas are too bitter for me) and the lavender was subtle and not overpowering. I also thought $6.50 is a very good price for 16 oz in Waikiki. My daughter got the taro milk tea with boba and it was very good, not too milky maybe too sweet for some but exactly the level I like. They weren't busy when I arrived but it did take about 2 minutes for someone to come and take my order, it's because the person making the drinks was also taking orders. Service was straightforward. Ambiance is a food court, I recommend going to get a dessert at kulu kulu to go with your drink. They are famous for their Thai tea and I want to come back to try that.

    Super delicious! Perfect sweet treat for a hot day

    Super Delicious! The perfect sweet treat for a hot day! Their Haupia coffee was our favorite for sure

    Thai Coffee and Strawberry Lemonade
    Vivian T.

    This is an actual hidden gem!! Get the mason jar, it's a great souvenir and they offer discounted refills!! The jar is huge. I got the Thai Coffee with Oat milk and asked for extra bitterness and they delivered. I honestly just love the jar and staff recommendations and kindness. Go to the second floor and you'll find it in the food court.

    Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba
    Generous Y.

    Solid boba spot in a prime location. Just towards the left of the food court after taking the escalators to the second floor. They also have cute glass cups for $6 extra which isn't too bad given the tourist location. Pretty average cost for boba shop bottles. Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - they lessen the sweetness by adding cold brew apparently which is interesting. boba had a decent chew but could use better marination for flavor. Jasmine tea was present through a calm, floral taste.

    Vietnamese Coffees
    Kim V.

    Located in the mall; The Waikiki Açaí was refreshing, with fresh fruit and honey; pretty presentation!! The Vietnamese coffee was bomb. $25 for both items.

    We came here pretty much the whole time we were here for our Trip. ordered the Thai coffee and the Haupia coffee. Also tried the Mac nut latte as well. The haupia coffee is our favorite. I recommended this one. It's located at the food court. About a ten minute wait for coffee.

    Sunset strawberry lemonade
    Shaun N.

    This food court gem is great! I got the sunset strawberry lemonade and it was fantastic! I like my teas and lemonades and this place did not disappoint. It wasn't too busy but I can't say much because it's located in Waikiki and in a food court which is just a recipe for craziness! However overall the service was quick and fantastic,. If you're in the food court craving a quick drink you should stop by here!

    We ordered the lilikoi tea in a jar and it was delicious, definitely refreshing, staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Coconut matcha is one of my favorite drinks. Coconut water with a light matcha foam on top. Mini whips up the foam fresh and I requested no sugar, which they complied. This is absolutely delicious and thirst quenching. Their whole menu looks inventive and I would love to try some other drinks. Great service. It's located in the food court. Casual Please come and create your own experience.

    Sunrise Lilikoi Tea
    Angel H.

    Some Yelpers posted about this cute bear jar and I just had to get one. Mini Monster Cafe is at the food court at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. They have locations in California and Vietnam. They sell coffees, teas, milk teas, fruit drinks and matcha drinks. The hubby and I decided to share a drink because I wanted to get the bear jar and it's huge. We decided on the Sunrise Lilikoi Tea with lychee jelly. It was so good and refreshing. We got it at 100% sweetness and it was perfect for me. It was a little sweet at first, but when the ice melted it got diluted. The cashier asked if we wanted lilikoi seeds in the drink, but we declined. The drink was $5.95 plus $0.85 for the lychee jelly. The bear jar was another $6. The total was $12.80 before tax. You can bring the bear jar back and pay the price of the 24oz. drink. We will be back to try the other drinks. The Thai Tea is next on my list.

    Taro smoothie and Mac nut latte
    Aimy N.

    Super sweet hardworking bobarista! Mac nut latte is a lil sweeter. I do like the macadamia cream. The taro smoothie is not too sweet. Light and good! Their pins, charms and stickers are cute!

    Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
