@fortunefoodfinds: "There's a LATTE things I L.O.V.E. about you! A Kulolo Crunch Espresso Latte n' a Pandan Mango Sago Matcha Latte from Pua Blooms who popped up at Jolene's in Ewa Beach this past Saturday. From the tasty textures n' fabulous flavors, to the lovely layers n' beautiful blooms on the cute cups. This duo of delicious drinks were the reason I had to show up!" SERVICE: fully staffed INTERIOR: pop-up inside Jolene's Ewa Beach EXTERIOR: menu board was available outside WAIT TIME: 10 mins before placing order, then after 15 mins received drinks PARKING: large free lot OVERALL COMMENTS: the last time I had Pua Blooms was last year at Taste of Aloha so I was long overdue. When I saw that they had a Kulolo Crunch Espresso Latte n' a Pandan Mango Sago Matcha Latte I just had to try it. I've missed their recent pop-ups near town, so I made my way to the west side to finally get my fix + eat at Jolene's too. I absolutely loved both drinks. Flavors were on point, the toffee bits n' the sago were giving in texture, espresso n' matcha went so well with all the rest of the ingredients they were put together with, beautifully crafted, n' most of all so yuMmmy. Can't wait to attend another pop-up of theirs when they are in/near town! read more

My favorite matcha pop-up for a sweet treat! I ordered one of their monthly specials, the Pandan Mango Sago Matcha Latte, and it was sooooo good. It had the perfect balance of matcha and sweetness, and I love that they come up with fun seasonal specials. Most of the times I've gone the line has been pretty long but it moves quickly so it's never too bad. The line was surprisingly short this past weekend, which was a nice bonus. Every drink I've tried so far has been delicious. Definitely recommend following them on Instagram to see where they'll be popping up next! read more

They had a pop up at South Shore Market, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try it. I tried the Kulolo Crunch Hojicha Latte and my friend got the same thing but with matcha. I LOVED it. I loved how much depth there was in the hojicha flavor, as you could taste the roastedness. The kululo crunch topping was so gas, it complimented both the hojicha and matcha perfectly. I also love how you could see them whisking in front of you instead of making a big batch of matcha/hojicha beforehand, and it really pays off well! read more

Kulolo crunch matcha latte. So sweet and such a treat. It's delicious. The matcha was good and not weak at all. The cream and toffee paired so perfectly. The line while long went by quickly as it seems they have a system down and buzzers to let you know when it's ready. Highly recommend. read more

I LOVE pua blooms. Discovered them on Instagram and WAS NOT disappointed. Line was very long, but for a good reason. I do not like matcha, but pua blooms hojicha drinks are literally so good. Got the smores hojicha latte and was it was so so so delicious. So many matcha and hojicha options. I would say Pua blooms is definitely my favorite hojicha pop up, wish they had a permanent store! Be prepared to wait, however they did have a really good ordering system and it went very smoothly. read more

Another day, another matcha and Pua Blooms did not disappoint!! I finally got the opportunity to try this place since we were at the park nearby. I ordered the Banana Lumpia and it definitely made up for the matcha I bought at the Farmer's Market. The wait wasn't too long and the staff were pretty quick with getting through their orders. I love the concept of doing pop ups like they do at Potluck at the South Shore Market, brings business for both parties. I definitely want to try their other drinks next time. You can tell that they use really good ceremonial matcha and take their time in creating drinks because wow, the banana lumpia was mixed to perfection!! read more

Loved the strawberry coconut matcha float. I typically prefer my drinks on the sweeter side so this was perfect. Definitely sweeter than your average strawberry matcha but the addition of the coconut worked well with all the other flavors. Everyone seemed to enjoy their drinks as well and the service was surprisingly fast for how busy it was. Excited to try again at their next event read more

One of my favorite matcha pop-ups on the island. Everything I've tried has been 10/10. The banana lumpia, pandan mango sago, and kulolo crunch matchas were all so good. The line can get pretty long--the longest I've waited was about an hour--but it was definitely worth it. The workers are friendly, too. Highly recommend Pua Blooms if you ever get the chance to try it! read more

I love sweet matcha and I love pumpkin crunch so this seasonal pumpkin crunch matcha latte was probably the best matcha I've had this season, and I've tried a lot. It was seasonal and already off the menu since I tried it the last week of November. I was at Ala Moana and saw Pua Blooms set up as part of the small market on the lower level. There was a line already because this place has been going viral on social media. The price is a little hefty but the sign reminds buyers of the price hike due to tariffs and they also buy a really high quality matcha (ippodo). The line moved quick and we got a buzzer after our order so we could walk around the market. It was ready in about 5-7 minutes. The taste was pure heaven, so delicious. I'll go back to try their other options now that pumpkin crunch is not available. My daughter also really liked the taro milk teas read more

I ordered the Kulolo Horjicha Almond Milk Latte. It was so delicious! I wish I had a friend with me I wanted to try the pumpkin crunch latte. I was flying solo on Saturday checking out the ASB pop up at Ala Moana. Not surprised there was a line at Pua Blooms. I love the simple menu all the same flavors depending on what caffeine level or no caffeine at all you want. I can't wait for the next one pop up! read more

Got to try their mango sago matcha and banana lumpia matcha, both very good. Definitely a sweeter dessert matcha. A bit pricey at $12 but you can choose your milk for no extra cost. Friendly service and cute aesthetics. I think they only do markets and pop ups and they always have a line when I go so be prepared to wait a little. read more

I love love pua blooms! True, it's a long line. Sure, it's a long wait. But it was all worth it! I got the Dot Cake matcha latte and it was very tasty! Feel like I'm eating a strawberry short cake. I love the sprinkles on top too! It's a very fun texture. The matcha was smooth and creamy. Everything is perfection in a cup! Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

Thrilled to be able to try Pua Blooms on a popup day in Kailua. Found them on IG which is where you will find their schedule. Excited as one thing I love more than matcha is hojicha and Pua Blooms has both! This day's start of popup scheduled for 1pm. Understand it's not easy to setup popup truck in a new place everytime the business opens. Anxiously arrived at 1240pm. Waited 1st in line to purchase. Order taken. But had to wait until 10 after hour for drink. No big deal. Prices slightly elevated. Cups not large. Specialty drinks easily $11. I opted for the standard hojicha iced latte with oatmilk ($7). Flavor was nice and smooth showcasing the quality tea used from Kyoto. Wished for a more intense tea taste tho as could barely taste the hojicha. Happy to try some other drinks next time like the banana lumpia expresso (special of the day) or matcha einspanner that everyone else seemed to be ordering. Lots of goodness here! read more

Blooming with flavors... What a thrill it was to stumble upon their pop up in Kailua at Please Come Again which is a shop that's filled with unique flavors that we love but could never imagine to create and I've been wanting to experience only to see fellow Elite Li Y there waiting was a cool surprise to see as well. Arriving there early was the best of luck since I was fortunate to find parking around the corner after browsing around the area just knew it was time for something cool as their 1pm opening time was fast approaching. Actually seeing this adorable vintage VW bus converted into Pau Blooms actually gave me the giggles as it's just so adorable and I couldn't stop staring as they were prepping for the pop up as their menu offerings are quite massive which I didn't expect and as each drink is hand crafted you know I had to get the specials which what I usually do. After giving the family of Please Come Again get their fix I was so thrilled to order mine as the line started to from down the block with anticipation it was - Banana Lumpia Hojicha $11 - Winter Berry Matcha $10 to which the staff replies "the specials!" yup why should I choose when I can have both lol! Uuuuughhh the smooth craftiness of it all was just so extravagant I felt like being in Japan and as I sat on the ledge my taste buds had it's happy moment of bliss. The beloved banana lumpia was definitely captured along with the roasted nutty flavor of hojicha was perfect along with cinnamon sugar wonton garnish is a drink that's I know my bestie would love and the Winter Berry Matcha is another great original sip that brings in the stunning colors of Matcha along with their berry sauce and a light peppermint kick making this seasonal sip a cool treat. It's so mesmerizing watching them whisk the matcha and seeing how each drink are being built is a craft that I truly appreciate as that's how it should be done. Though the blooms weren't here on this day, the drinks stood out on it's own and cheers to the team as it makes beautiful art that it shares with us all. Thank you! read more

Love that there are more matcha spots opening up in Hawaii! As a big matcha lover and knowing how to make a pretty good matcha myself, I'm pretty picky about my matcha. I saw that Pua Blooms was having a pop up in Kailua next to Please Come Again and I happened to be in the area that day so it was the perfect chance to try it out. The cute truck was parked along the side of the street and of course there was a ton of people waiting outside. I asked a family who was walking with their matcha how long it took to get their drinks. They said to order their drinks was quick but it took about 30 min to get it. I was with my 1 year old daughter carrying her in the carrier but thankfully she was asleep so I figure I would just wait. They have a range of matcha and hojicha drinks that all sound yummy. It was hard to choose which one to get but I ended up getting the Matcha Einspanner ($10) which is a more stronger matcha topped with sweet cream. The line to order was fast but my drink took about 20 or so minutes. Thankfully my daughter slept through the whole thing and woke up when my drink was ready. Pua Blooms uses Ippudo matcha so I knew it would be legit. I got mines with almond milk and it was a strong matcha taste and the perfect creaminess. The sweet cream on top is an added bonus. I was sad when I finished my drink lol. Totally worth it though! read more

I was craving something cold to drink and I remembered seeing a post about a matcha pop-up van nearby! Pua Blooms is a traveling flower truck and matcha and coffee bar that goes around the island. My dad and I checked it out and although there was a long line, we definitely could tell why once we got our drinks! White peppermint strawberry matcha latte ($10): light drink with strawberry sweetness Ube matcha latte ($10): refreshing drink with hints of ube flavoring Although the line was long, once we got or order taken, it took about 15-20min to receive, so not too long. One of the staff memebers, however, had a rather impatient attitude towards me when I was asking questions about the drinks. Pua Blooms - location varies, so check their IG to see where they will be read more

Finally got to try Pua Blooms at the Kaneohe Night Market. It was everything I hoped for. I got the Strawberry Match Latte $11. The flavor was insane! So good!! My friend got the Ube Match Latte $11, which was also good. Definitely worth the price. Their set up is so cute. They were also organized while taking orders and making the drinks. Customers were given buzzers to notify them that their order was ready. read more

Pua blooms is cute concept - matcha and flowers served out of a tiny truck. I've heard a lot about them so I knew I had to grab a few friends to try them out. When arriving to Mari's, the line was maybe 10 people long and the sun was blazing hot. I'd say we waited for 30 minutes or so to order then maybe another 10 to get our drinks. If you are pressed on time, I wouldn't suggest it. But I knew I'd be willing to wait. They have seasonal menu items so when I tried them in December, my friends had to try their peppermint. The matcha was strong and not overly sweet in comparison to other local matcha places. I had the einsplanner and it was delicious! If you're a matcha lover, they use Ippodo which is a well loved matcha bran Today I had their banana lumpia Hojicha and the winter berry matcha. The Hojicha they use is so smooth and roasty in flavor. The wonton chips were crispy and the banana flavor was not the artificial taste. This is such a unique concept and I loved it! The winter berry was also nice. The peppermint was stronger so if you don't like peppermint, I wouldn't recommend it. I love finding new spots for matcha and this one definitely exceeds my expectations! I'll be following to make sure I try their new flavors :) read more

I really really really wanted to love this place! The service was fast, the workers were great, the drink presentation was aesthetically pleasing and the whole mobile get-up was cute! The only down side was that our drinks tasted more like water than like matcha! :( Even the coffee didn't hit, unfortunately. Everyone's taste buds are different when it comes to matcha, so I still suggest you try it to see if it's for you read more

Always super popular at the Ala Moana makers market, so I finally got to try it and I'd say it's worth the hype. The person taking orders was very helpful explaining the drinks and I went with a strawberry matcha with coconut. The matcha flavor was good and not too overpowered by the strawberry or coconut. Everything together tasted nice and refreshing. Maybe not worth the wait, but if there's no line I'd definitely try again. read more

My daughter and I went to the Honolulu makers market to try a drink at the Pua Blooms truck. The service was amazing and the people were super friendly and helpful; he even gave us advice on the different types of milks for our drinks. I ended up getting the banana lumpia espresso because today is the last day they'll have it, and my daughter got the strawberry milk. When I say my drink was amazing, I was wiling to stand back in line for another one.. it's so delicious! I will definitely be back to try the other drinks. read more

I've always heard great things about Pua Blooms but could never catch their pop-ups... until now! We ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte and the November special, the Kulolo Matcha Latte. I really appreciate that they make all of their syrups in-house and you can definitely taste the difference compared to other spots. Both drinks lean on the sweeter side, and I do wish the matcha flavor came through a bit stronger, but overall they were delicious and super enjoyable. I can't wait to try more of their menu next time! read more

OMG shame on me. I so thought I had already left a review of this absolutely adorable flower and coffee / matcha truck. I have only caught them twice at Jolenes in Ewa Beach even though I have had opportunities after church in Kailua as they also pair up with a new ice cream shop down there that I gotta try. What a cute pairing of drinks and pua. I've tried several drinks and they are all unique and awesome in their own way. Beautifully crafted. They often have a long line but it moves fairly swiftly. And if you follow them on IG you will see that they are always asking for feedback to improve their processes. You will also find their weekly schedule there so do yourself a favor and go follow them now! read more

I was really excited to try this coffee truck. I ordered a white chocolate matcha with strawberry I think. I never tasted the white chocolate so was a little disappointed. I would like to try something different next time, but honestly was expecting something more for that price. Hopefully it was just a one off. Employees were helpful and polite and the truck was very cute! If you want to purchase flowers don't go too late. read more

Went to Safeway Ewa Beach for groceries and stumbled upon this cute truck parked in front of Jolene's with cute and friendly workers/owners. The wait is worthwhile! Waiting to order is long but waiting for your drink to be made is pretty quick. For myself, I got iced cocoa espresso and chocolate covered strawberries. For the other half, I got him ube milk (not a coffee/tea drinker). All with oat milk. All drinks are well balanced as for sweetness. This is coming from a person that says ALL drinks are TOO sweet. Also growing up with ube flavor, I don't go gaga for it. But man their quality of ube is SOO GOOD! I need to try with their caffeinated drinks. read more

Over priced matcha... I was looking forward to try it but matcha wasnt strong at all so sad I wanna try it next time

I trip their iced banana hojicha. A subtle flavors of the roasted green tea complemented perfectly by the banana. Can't wait to try other flavors. read more

Another influencers influencing place. I did hesitate if I should come because it's kinda pricey for a drink. Their regular houjicha/matcha drink is $8 now (no longer $7), sweet cream is additional $1. Line was long but once you ordered, it was fast to get the drink. I had the houjicha with oat plus sweet cream, but when I got the drink, they forgot to add sweet cream on it. I ask about it and the lady said it is not automatically add, need to ask. So I told her I did request that add on and then she questioned me how much I pay, I told her $9. But my cup did have "swt" wrote on it, which I assume is sweet cream. The drink is not that special, Island Vintage tastes better. If I had to spend $9 for that, I rather go to Island Vintage. And I think the cap was dirty cause after I took a sip, my mouth start to have a small bump inside. I won't be back nor recommend unless you really want to post on your social media. read more
