    Cold brew Chardonnay tea FTW!
    Cristin G.

    Tea Time Hawaii was a gem of a find! Went in for a tea, came out with some neat tea-related gifts for family and a cool cold-brew for me to make at home. If you're in Hilo, check it out!

    Always satisfied with my drinks whenever I visit. Fast service and there's lots of goodies and treats up for sale around the store, you'll most likely come out of there with more than just boba!

    The staffs are very friendly and knowledgeable on how to make the drinks better! On my first visit with my friends, we were a bit clueless how to order and we left it up to them! All of us loved it so much! I also did not realize until second visit that we can add condensed milk wall which I love!! It could get your drinks a bit sweet but it's good topping to have boba. The store has cute backdrop for photo too and sell lots of other teas , snacks, and jerky's!

    Boba tea counter tucked inside an eclectic store with local snacks, teas, crystals, and other odds and ends. The tea counter is towards the back of the store and service was prompt. If you like your tea sweet, you may want to ask how sweet they are when you order as my partner's tea wasn't sweet at all. My Thai blended tea was just right, so it may just be the type he ordered

    After reading these other reviews, you know you need to try them out for yourself. I've been there multiple of times and was never disappointed my drinks never came watery or watered down. The staff is awesome and very friendly the atmosphere is very welcoming. So take it from a foody and go and try them for yourself.

    It's a really fun place and we appreciate how they have vegan ice cream. It's been a lot of fun over the weekend to go.

    I went with the tall iced taro drink, added condensed milk, coconut lychee and large boba.

    Everything is amazing! Parking - awesome…read moreStaff - super friendly Food - omg, delish And while you wait, browse the crack seed area and buy some snacks! Love this place!!!

    Crack seed. For us…read morelocals in Hawai'i, these snacks were childhood staples. The crack seed store, a classic place where vibes of nostalgia are generated every time I walk into one. 'Cause I grew-up with li hing mui and arare. There's a small number of locally-owned crack seed shops on the Big Island of Hawai'i and in Hawai'i in general. This is one of them, the "local-style candy store" for an island boy like me. I enter 5-Spice, located in East Hawai'i after the intersection of Kilauea Ave and W Puainako St, heading south. I remember frequenting this business when it used to be at Puainako Town Center. Their popularity over the years gave them the ability to move to a larger space. Now independently located in their own building with ample parking. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Would I be able to control myself, holding onto what's desired without adding anything extra? It's always impossible for me to do so. Everytime. Yummy preserved items in large display jars, others placed in vacuum sealed bags. All priced by-the-ounce. I become curious, wanting to taste it again. I go to my favorites, seeking them first while browsing through the visual display of many others. Cracked seed goodness on one side, bagged candies and sweets on the other. I've seen this all before yet, I stand still with the desire to place it all in my hands. And I sure do, my hands are full. I mail them to the U.S. mainland in care packages, travel to the neighbor-islands as omiyage, and personally enjoy them at work or at home as snacks. They make great gifts for friends and coworkers too. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Let's talk about food, where mouth-watering plates and yummy burgers are prepared. Bentos are packed to-go on the countertop. Offering an extensive menu for a take-out, all made to enjoy outside on picnic tables or elsewhere. Daily specials are available along with catering + platters too. Front service by the team at the counter is pleasant, attentive. Gratitude is always extended for every purchase. Comfortable, courteous, welcoming. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "Meat Jun Plate" A light egg batter and thinly sliced beef served in an upscale fashion due to care in preparation and quality of flavor. The soft and indulgent texture of each meat jun piece, perfectly seasoned + cooked. Your choice of tossed greens, purple sweet potato or macaroni salad. "Honey Chicken Plate" Featuring a crazy yummy sweet and savory glaze, sticky and glossy. This sauce, this recipe creation is glorious. Chicken pieces are tender yet slightly crispy on the exterior. "Bibimbap" Freshly made Korean banchan, thinly sliced seasoned beef over white rice. I pour the gochujang over everything and mix-in the sunny side egg, bringing forward a creamy texture along with heat + depth. Choose the sweet potato salad as your side. "Gravy Burger Combo w/ French Fries" This massive burger patty is filling, satisfying. Charred and smothered in rich brown gravy served with lettuce and mayo. Choose the sweet bread bun, the seasoned salt on their fries makes all the difference. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Delicious food to-go with generous portions, sealed bags of cracked seed items + sweet treats at 5-Spice. For enjoyment at home, to share at work, gifts or omiyage. Find this charm, this unique and tasty experience on the Big Island of Hawai'i - East side. Locally owned and operated.
