    2. Strawberry Smoothie

    Over priced and small. Boba had no taste. No customer service not even a hello when you're ordering. Place is a small business.

    I'm disappointed at how the price of this milk tea vs the size that I got! And it was strange that they also added ice into their milk tea. The boba was overcooked, very chewy. The lady was very nice. The ambiance was cute.

    Mango Smoothie with Boba Papaya Smoothie with jelly....so sweet!
    Dee A.

    My friend and I were walking around Waikiki and had a boba craving. The closest place Yelp took us was this place. I was disappointed to find out that they specialize more on smoothies and blended drinks rather than milk teas. I was actually craving for some milk tea with boba or even fruit tea, but instead they recommended their fruit smoothies. My friend got their Papaya Smoothie with boba, and I got their Mango Smoothie with boba and jelly that came standard (no extra charge for the jellies) with the drink. There was one lady at the store who was very friendly and talkative who made the recommendations. We were so immersed in our conversation that I forgot to request to adjust their sugar level. The drinks came out too sweet! If it wasn't for the lovely and friendly service, I probably would give this place 2-star because I couldn't take a second sip of their drink. It was cloyingly sweet! My drink went to waste as a result. My friend liked her papaya smoothie, but she said, it was also way too sweet, but not as sweet as my drink. So, she finished half of hers. I would still recommend this place, but if you're like me that's not into overly sweetened drinks, be sure to adjust their sweetness level.

    Maybe 3 sips and it's gone with a huge chunk of ice and all the boba sitting on top of the ice.

    My daughter wanted boba and I knew this place across from where we live. We had never tried it and thought we'd give it a chance since it was so close. Walked in and the place had a strange aroma to it. Almost like a Chinese medicine shop. The guy behind the counter greeted us and we took our time to look over the menu. We settled on 3 boba drinks, a classic milk tea with boba, a mango tea with boba, and a Thai tea with boba. All the drinks were pre-made in a container that he pulled out from the fridge. One by one the drinks were being poured and served. They didn't look anything like the photos. They were in a plain clear plastic cup with a pop on lid. No big deal as long as it taste good right? Well none of the drinks were very good. Worst of all, my daughter's drink, who was the one who really wanted the boba drink, had a huge solid chunk of ice in it. We couldn't even insert the straw in the drink. We took our drinks and left. Before we could even walk past the business, my daughter's drink was gone. She had taken a few sips and it was all ice!!! I went right back in and showed him the drink he had served us and all he could say was, oh would you like another one? I said no and wanted a refund on her drink. Also, they have a sign that said 15% off for Kama'aina. We said oh they have Kama'aina the minute we walked in and saw the sign. I mentioned it to him as he rang up the total. When he handed me his phone for the credit card authorization, there was no discount given. I said it again that we were Kama'aina and showed him my ID again and he gave us back only 10% back. I took the two bucks and left. Then came back for the refund and he only refunded me another $5 for a total of $7. I didn't want to waste any more time and frustration with him and took my $7 and left. Basically, no discount given at this point. Ended up going down the street and bought her a huge boba drink with a happy hour discount for the $7 and still had change leftover. Will never come back! Terrible business! Wish it could have been a better experience.

    Boba Milk Tea

    I really wanted to give this place a better review, but the boba just really ain't it. The milk tea was pre made so you can't adjust the sugar level. The boba was hard. I personally think that if you're selling boba tea and the tapioca is hard, that just means you haven't figured it out. It may have just been that the boba has been lying around for hours since there wasn't that much foot traffic there. Didn't try the musubi, but from the other reviews they say it's good.

    Such a small shop in Waikiki it would be easy to miss. Looking forward to a boba slush and Musubi Boba came up in my search. Fresh fruit was a welcome start cause, Hawaii! She made us fresh mochi donut hole while we were waiting and omg it was a great snack with my ice cold taro slush. My friend got the papaya slush, love the fresh fruit options!

When arriving, there are many cozy chairs inside, with a collection of board games to choose from. I noticed that UberEats type of delivery service were picking up orders consistently throughout our time here. We ordered the Strawberry Panna Cotta, thinking that it was a parfait dessert or served on a plate. Though when the gentleman taking our order asked for the sweetness level, we knew it must've been a drink. And it did not disappoint! I've never had anything like this before. It was the perfect blend of strawberry on top, not too sweet, not too sour and the panna cotta smooths it all out from the bottom up through your straw. The gentleman working there was very friendly, very kind, answered all our questions. One being that they do not serve food/desserts here anymore because of the shelf-life and unpredictability of people ordering these items, I get it. He truly seems to love his job and it shows. Walking each order out to everyone, whether they're waiting inside or outside the shop, he's hustling, not sauntering around. And in between, he's straightening the stuffed animals on the couches, so that they look presentable. It's the little things that count, and I appreciate that. Nevertheless, we will definitely be back to try other flavors!

The place is also super cute with their cow mascot and all their cute art. Plus you can take a selfie at their cute flower wall with accessories available.

The mango flavor tasted either artificial or extremely diluted. The color was very pale--I could barely see that signature yellow/orange mango hue--and the mango flavor itself was almost nonexistent. The coconut base and sago pearls were fine and pretty standard, but nothing memorable or exciting enough to make me want to order it again. My husband got the fresh watermelon smoothie. You could tell the watermelon itself was fresh, which we appreciated, but the drink was very watered down due to too much ice. After just one gulp, it felt like it turned into mostly ice with very little juice left. He did like that it came standard with coconut jelly, which added a nice texture and sweetness. Overall, the drinks were okay but lacked strong, fresh fruit flavor, especially for the price and expectations. If they reduced the ice and intensified the fruit base, these drinks could be much better. Probably wouldn't rush back, but could be a quick stop if you're already at Ala Moana and craving something light and cold.

The most recent visit, I had ordered online and was going to pick up m food for takeout. There were three workers at the front just talking. I walked to the counter and was ignored. I could see where the orders are placed and didn't see anything there so figured my order wasn't ready yet. I stood on the side for at least 5 minutes without any greeting or acknowledgement. Not a single person made eye contact with me. When I saw an order placed on the back counter one of them grabbed it and placed it on the takeout counter without calling out the name and went back to chatting. I had to actively try to get their attention at which point I was looked at like I was bothering them. Asked if my order was ready and was handed it without any further interaction. I don't expect happy go lucky people and conversation but at least basic customer service.
