    Coffee Milk Tea with Ice Cream

    I ordered the same thing, but it tasted different. So disappointing. I hesitated to come back as they already had us waiting to order as they rebooted the register.

    Another drink stop we had this past Friday. I preferred this place more than the other place we went to that day. Drink was very refreshing it was so hot that day. The ice cream made it really creamy too. It was not busy (which I was surprised about because sometimes this place is BUSY). Would love to try a more traditional bubble tea next time I'm in the area

    Very busy location outside of the food court area. Friendly fast service. No seating area. High variety menu options including halo halo!

    @fortunefoodfinds: "You're a sweet-TEA! A Mango Matcha Fresh Milk under the New Matcha Series from Sharetea at Ala Moana. Trying this during mango season, gave me a "treat yo' self" reason!" Staff: friendly Exterior: outside stand across The Lanai, when waiting to order you're in the line of traffic Wait time: 5 mins Parking: garage Overall: mango puree was more on the sweeter side. I've had a lot of matcha lattes from various places n' would rate this a 4 out of 5

    Omg, a Sharetea! Located in the Ala Moana Center, it's all the way at the end of this huge open-air shopping mall down in Honolulu. And when I say it's at the end, it really is right at the end, and wedged into a small corner of the mall away from all the action in the main center walking area. It's just a small stand, so there's no seating in the area, so definitely a grab and go kind of spot. Though, there are several food court areas in Ala Moana, so you could always take it to any one of those areas if need be. Price wise, it's on par with everything else drink wise you would find in this mall, as there's also numerous other boba places scattered in this large shopping area. The menu at this Sharetea does seem to be a bit more condensed than what I'm used to, but they had all of the basics so no complaints. Probably due to the kiosk offering it's hard to have the full menu available here. The drinks here are alright. I do feel that boba wise it was on the spot compared to all the other Shareteas I've been to, but the flavoring for the drinks seem to be a bit more on the blander side here. Don't quite get the same flavoring I typically get from my drinks from Sharetea. However, solid place to grab a boba, particularly if you're planning to walk this huge mall that offers a variety of shopping, food, and entertainment options.

    Boba drink with more ice than liquid.

    Cups are filled with 60% or more ice cubes. I ordered a large and after a couple of sips, my drink was gone and I was left with a cup of ice. Would expect a better ratio of the beverage to ice for what I paid.

    While attending a graduation dinner at Ala Moana Hotel last weekend, the emcee warned guests that Ala Moana Center is surveying people who park at the mall and attend events at Ala Moana Hotel. There are cameras to document such incidents and violators will be ticketed. Furthermore, the desserts at the buffet line were not appealing to me and to satisfy my sweet tooth, I suggested to favorite niece by default to go to Sharetea and grab a milk tea after dinner. This would offset my parking at the mall to attend the dinner at Ala Moana Hotel. Located on the 2F just next to Macy's, this is one of three Sharetea locations in Hawaii. This Ala Moana location opened in October 2021. Sharetea hails from Taiwan and started business in 1992 and now has over 400 locations globally. I pretty much had my mind set on their classic milk tea. They close at 9pm and I was shocked to have seen a line of over 5 people when we arrived just before 830pm. We waited patiently for our turn as there were just 2 staff taking and making drink orders. In addition to my class milk tea, favorite niece by default got the grapefruit honey lemonade with crystal boba and we also got a peach oolong tea with aiyu jelly for favorite nephew by default who was still at work. Thought of surprising him with the drink when he got home after work. After paying, we waited patiently and to our dissatisfaction, there was a homeless male who walked up to all Sharetea patrons waiting for either their drink orders or waiting to order asking for money as he was hungry. I was tempted to give him money but ended up not doing so. I stood next to my niece to ensure her safety and not getting harassed as she also declined to give money. Eventually our drinks were ready so we walked back to the counter to confirm our drinks, quickly snapped a few photos and walked back to our cars. It was now just before 9pm and there was still a line of people waiting to order and a bunch of people waiting for their drinks to be made. Impressive. THE VERDICT: Sharetea is my favorite place to get the classic milk tea because of its distinct brewed tea flavor and consistency. I intentionally chose 30% sweet and it was just the right amount of sweetness for me. Niece took a sip of my milk tea and also gave my drink a thumbs up. Previously, I've been patronizing Sharetea's Kahala location. I also tried my niece's grapefruit honey lemonade and it was absolutely delicious. It had complex flavors of sour, sweet, tart and a slight bitterness that woke up my palate. I'd order this in a heartbeat as it was that good. Service was average. The staff looked overworked and lacked friendly customer service as it was probably a long day for them. We tried to order some drinks and add toppings only to be advised they were sold out. Despite the lack of items and staff enthusiasm, I still threw in $5 to their tip jar. I also work part time in the food industry and can understand what the staff endure being on their feet and handling customers with limited staff. It's hard work and staff are often not appreciated. My bill including food the tip on this visit: almost $28. Somewhat pricey but then this is the mall. I did find this location to be quite dark despite their bright light fixtures. Would be better and perhaps safer should more lighting be added either by Sharetea or Ala Moana Center. Overall, a decent first experience at this Ala Moana location and will return for a cold drink. I'm a creature of habit who rarely deviates from my ordering but that grapefruit honey lemonade was exceptional. 2024 #60

    Refreshing beverages in Honolulu, Hawaii... This location of Sharetea is on the Mall Level of Ala Moana Center, between Macy's and The Lanai (food court). HOPA (House of Pure Aloha) shave ice used to be here. The other two locations of Sharetea (on the Island of Oahu) are at Waimalu Plaza Shopping Center and the shopping center next to Kahala Mall - the one with McDonald's and Jersey Mike's Subs. This Ala Moana location is basically a takeout counter. Seating is open-air nearby or at The Lanai next door. I got two drinks: Strawberry Mojito and Hawaii Fruit Tea with Aiyu jelly. Both drinks were on the sweet side even though I asked for half sweet. The Strawberry Mojito would be better without the lime rinds. There were tiny bits and larger pieces - both sizes were bitter. LOL! I scooped the bigger pieces out with a spoon when I got home. The Hawaii Fruit Tea was tasty because it had orange, pineapple, and grapefruit puree in it - according to their website. I would return because the location is convenient, and there's a Loyalty Points program.

    I came here yesterday after lunch with Auntie and my hubby. Auntie ordered the Strawberry Mojito $7.40 and Hawaii Fruit Tea $7.50. My hubby and I shared the Tiger Milk Boba $7.60. The Tiger Milk Boba was ok. It just had fresh milk, brown sugar and boba. The milk was really strong, so I take it that they use one with a heavier base. Auntie drank her Strawberry Mojito and it had bits of lime in there. She said that the rind was really bitter. Maybe they should cut the lime into bigger pieces so that it doesn't fit through the straw. The prices are a little higher here compared to some other milk tea spots at the mall.

    Cheers!

    Friendly, fast service. Delicious boba drinks with extra things inside like fruit and ice cream. My kids loved it! They tried a lychee ice cream boba and I tried a taro mango boba I think? They were bomb!

    Large milk coffee. Didn't have much coffee flavor.
    Kelly M.

    It's a stand alone kiosk. Seems popular, there was a line 3-4 people deep every time I looked. I finally wanted to leave Ala Moana and stood in line. The line moved quickly even though there were only two people working: one on register and the other making drinks. I ordered the coffee and asked if there were alternative milks, it was explained to me that all their milk is alternative except for the drinks which specify whole milk. I said ok, a zero sweet milk coffee. When I got it, it was ok. The coffee doesn't really come through. I mean it tastes like coffee but really weak. Then I remembered the "non-dairy" used in places like this is basically the powdered palm oil chemical mix crud that creamer powder is made from. Yuck. So I kind of blew money on a large coffee that didn't have a strong coffee flavor probably filled with palm oil and chemicals. I didn't want it so I went straight to Don Quixote and got a real oat milk cappuccino there. Giving it two to three stars as that's what it would have gotten before I remembered what the "non-dairy" was probably made with.

    This is pretty good. Went 1 hour before closing. The boba was nice and flavourful while still being soft. I can taste the tea, but I think it could be stronger. Still, the overall taste is acceptable, and the service was friendly and fast. The weather was drizzling, so I do wish it wasn't a booth. It was loud because of the music playing from the mall.

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 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.
