    Jasmine milk tea, mango green tea, and hojicha milk tea
    Vivi Z.

    I ordered 3 drinks and asked for light ice which is pictured below. The lady told me since I ordered light ice, this is what I'll be getting. I can't believe it's only 90% full. I came here two days ago after I landed and thought it was decent, so I came back here to receive this kind of service. I guess it's my fault to ask for light ice because I didn't want the ice to water down the drink. I honestly don't even consider this light ice. The drinks here are definitely half milk tea and half ice just from the picture below. I might've been a little too desperate for this. Will I come back again for the third time? Probably not, I rather drive 40mins to Kona for milk tea. Hopefully, they will change their service and live up to their award title.

    Honeydew milk tea with lychee jelly. My go-to.

    Boba is life. And there is finally life on the West side of the Big Island. I can't speak for the Hilo side, but Kona has never had a decent boba spot.....ever. Enter Teapresso Bar. 100% legit milk tea / boba joint. This is the good stuff. I live 80+ min away from Waikoloa, and always hated driving there unless I had to. Now I look forward to the weekend, to drive there JUST for milk tea. A store-within a store, Teapresso is a corner of the deli of Island Gourmet Markets, which is an anchor store at Waikoloa Queen's Shops. Whoever decided to buy some milk tea equipment and teach the deli workers how to make the drinks- I thank you. Each drink is 24 oz, and milk teas are the standard base. From there, you can choose what type of tea as well as any add-ons (boba, coffee, rainbow or lychee jelly; .50 each). Each tea has a sweetness level next to it, if available as an option (0-100%). My favorites are the Signature milk tea with 0% sweetness, and an add on (boba or jelly). They balance each other out and isn't too sweet. Honeydew milk tea is very very good, but you can only get a minimum sweetness of 50%, so that may be too sweet for some. I usually rotate between honeydew and signature, each time. I also sit around long enough to drink two of them each trip. 10 drinks on your stamp card gets you a free one. I have two free ones in 6 trips I usually like plantation iced tea and gave it a shot here. I didn't care for it. It tasted almost carbonated, and tasted more like lilikoi/lemonade instead of iced tea/pineapple juice. I don't think I'll be trying again. Other teas I have had and enjoyed were the jasmine, hojicha and genmaicha. Service is always good. The workers are friendly and I often ask them what their favorites are. Honeydew has been the most common reply. Someone else has mentioned this, but the ordering protocol here is a little funky at first. You will probably see people standing around, hovering near the counter. Once you figure out who is and isn't in line, you place your order at the counter. You are then issued a yellow receipt which you then take to a register within the bigger store. Once you pay (big fat red stamp that says PAID on your yellow receipt), you then take it back to Teapresso counter. Weird, but all good. I can't wait til I'm back for more. What used to be a dreaded drive to Waikoloa is now joyous. Maybe I'm glad Teapresso isn't in Kona town. I would possibly be there daily. Yikes

We were only $20 short of reaching the $300 spending requirement for the free gifts, which should speak to how frequently we visited and how much money we spent at this store. Despite being repeat customers, every visit was met with the same poor customer service. All of the cashiers who helped us were rude, curt, and could not even acknowledge the smallest greetings. The customer service was so unpleasant that it was not worth the experience. The food is not amazing, the prices are not great, and the only thing this place has is convenience--nothing more to offer. In one instance, I got a burger and a black milk tea with boba. I specifically told the cashier that I wanted boba, but she did not ring it up. When I inquired about the missing boba, a young employee addressed the matter with the cashier. They talked, and I said that if it cost more, I could pay for it. She rang up the boba with zero acknowledgment of her mistake. Nothing came out of her mouth. Complete silence. In another instance, I asked a cashier what the gifts were if we reached $300 in purchases. She did not say a word. She simply reached for a card with images of the gifts and placed it on the opposite side of where I was standing. She said nothing. I asked if those were the gifts, and she said yes. She then pulled out her phone while I looked at the card, and I simply said, "Okay, thank you." These are just a few examples of the many disturbing encounters we had with all of the cashiers. While on vacation in a tourist area, this is not the type of conduct or customer service one expects to experience. It was disturbing, and we dreaded going there despite the convenience.

The fake cherry blossom tree and the angel wings are definitely social lures. We came here on a weekday evening. It was very busy! There was only one cashier and he was the one who puts the order together as well. We took pictures and I did a video as we waited. It was a very long wait. I think we were 3rd in line after a couple, and the 2nd was a couple with 3 children. After waiting for over 10 mins, we decided to sit down. We noticed there were 2 other groups already seated and waiting before our line started. Mid wait, another 2 groups came in. The cashier attended to them and continued to fill orders. He did great for the amount of people he had to serve. We ordered the brown sugar tea with boba. It was very bland!

We were welcomed with the friendliest staff with big smiles on their face right when we walked in. We were kind of hungry after a long day coming from Hilo, so we ordered Kimchee pastrami sandwich and a watermelon refresher type drink with popping boba. The drink was very refreshing! The sandwich was DELICIOUS like a premium panini sandwich that came with what tasted like Maui onion kettle chips. Perfect combo! Told the owner I wanted to try their house made boba & because we came all the way from Hilo, she was able to give me a sample of what they had left since it wasn't enough to add to my drink. So thoughtful! I wanted to re-visit and try their hand made boba before we left the big island. We came back the following Friday and ordered butterfly pea type drink with fresh boba, tuna melt and an croffle that came with fresh Ube dipping cream on the side. Everything was great! Ambiance was calm, not too crazy. They had about 3 tables with a couple chairs for indoor seating and board games. I would definitely come back if I return to the big island!

There's vendors of people selling souvenirs, art pieces and stickets, and a couple of ladies selling jewelry. Beware the prices of the jewelry pieces. I think $47 for a ring is expensive personally. I can't justify spending $80+ on two rings, which are made of stainless steel and look to be worth $10-15 on Amazon. The ladies here don't even say if they're handmade or anything, but anything for a memento I guess. Across the street is the fruits and produce. Lots of flies and bugs around. Parking lot is on rough rubble and it's a one way and small. Be careful and take care driving in, don't want any popped tires or anything. Overall a quick visit for us after walking through. I think we saw someone setting up to play some live music for the atmosphere.
