    With each location brings the uniqueness... This Teapresso Express is just that a tiny place that serves up some yumminess and so much more. Never have I seen a location that serves up not just desserts but Vietnamese bentos and sandwiches...a lot of it ready to go that I got a bit overwhelmed as there's so much going on. What also seems different here as well is their original sugarcane drink even making it flavored as well...is this offered at other locations as well? Teapresso glassware is a love different from the mason jars these are a bit more cute love both the tall glassware with the sleeve as it looks so secure. The staff here is a delight making my drink just my way which is a peach black tea no boba light sweetness was super yummy and it had bits of dried peaches that I do love as it soften after each sip I just didn't expect it at all. There's no seating in this tiny nook but there are some tables provided by Bishop Square outside, and early birds are in for a treat as they serve coffee for $0.99 from 7am to 10am talk about a good morning! Thank you!

    Sour sap iced tea
    Joyce L.

    I tried their cold brew recently and it was good. It was definitely smooth and satisfying especially after lunch. So I came the next day had another one. And then I saw a sour sap with jasmine iced tea sign on the wall. On the third day, I tried their soup sap with real fruits in it. The only mistake I made was taking the small straw instead of the boba straw so I had to use a fork to grab the fruit. I'm a coffee addict but it was nice to try something different. I don't like sugary drinks so I asked for no sugar and sour sap was sweet enough naturally. $6 for healthy drink is well worth the try.

    Combo banh mi - rlly good!
    Pamela L.

    This location is out of the way for me because I don't live or work near downtown but used to visit their century center location and enjoyed their banh mi in the past. However, the last time I had their banh mi i ordered through delivery and it strangely had margarine in it. Couldn't finish it because the margarine had an artificial sweetness to it. Went back again today and was glad to see mayo again in the combo banh mi. I like that they add scallions or green onions to their banh mi but wish it was fresh rather than a scallion oil like it was today. I went later in the day so sadly they didnt have any summer rolls ready. I also had a house milk tea and the worker was very kind to remake it because I said the first drink was too sweet. I yelped and found that Alii place parking garage has cheaper rates than bishop square so I parked there and crossed the street. Will be frequenting here more for my banh mi fix now that I know where to park :)

    Crab cake banh mi
    Crystal R.

    My intentions for this place was for that boba fix but for some reason, this time I was drawn to the food. While waiting in line to place my initial order of a taro milk tea with coffee jelly (which I recommend), the banh mi was calling my name. I noticed that one of the specials was a crab cake banh mi which made me instantly want to try as I usually go for a chicken banh mi. For $11.99, the banh mi consisted of three small crab cakes, cilantro, pickled carrot & daikon, lettuce, tomato, and sauces. The bread was nice and crunchy however, the sauces made the banh mi a little too messy. Although it didn't deter me from eating all of it. It was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of crunchiness of the bread and vegetables. There a little hint of spice but it didn't overpower the dish. What fell short for me was the crab cake as it didn't taste that fresh and had that strong crab smell. The crab cake also fell apart and it didn't bring any texture to the dish. I'll give this place another try for a different banh mi. Overall I would still go there for their teas whenever I would crave for boba during my work week. They also have a rewards program which at this time I was able to redeem a free drink so it worked out for me. Originally wanted tea but ended up getting lunch and a free drink.

    Business is located at Bishop Square which is located on after Aloha Sushi and before Lox of Bagel. This location is the only location where 1 employee makes all the food and 2 employees who makes the drinks. My 2 co-workers had been here before and recommended summer roll with shrimp. She said that they had the cheapest price in downtown. Per employee, food were prepared and available by 9:00 am. They included summer roll with shrimp and some other foods. My order was summer roll with big pieces of shrimp and fishcake banh mi. Fishcake banh mi is kind of pricey but has good taste. Summer roll was worth it with big pieces of shrimp. On my next visit, I hope to try other food including dessert.

    a sandwich and iced coffee
    Marynell K.

    Teapresso is my favorite boba shop in downtown. I have tried a few different flavors, but the crème brûlée milk tea is definitely my go-to. Their banh mi is both filling and delicious. My favorite is the teapresso special banh mi. The addition of jalapeño (optional) gives it that kick you need a lunch time to get your through the rest of the day.

    I love this Teapresso Express! They make yummy Banh Mi and Thai ice tea! When I have errands in downtown, I always get my lunch there! Easy access by the bus and lots of outside tables!

    iced Vietnamese milk coffee
    Hannah O.

    Iced Vietnamese Milk Coffee - there are no words to describe how good that first sip of iced viet coffee hits when you're running on fumes. I haven't tried anything else here but the viet coffee is worth coming back for.

    Mharie S.

    Ordered tofu summer roll. Waited for 5 minutes and I was told to come back later on because they have a food inspection going on. Notice one lady yelling at the other lady due to issues on food temperature. Not a good way to start, I'll come back when they get it together.

Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

They don't necessarily have a set menu so your best bet is to check out their Instagram page to see where they will be and what will they be serving. My favorite sandwich thus far is their po'ipu (turkey, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto). The bread they use is foccacia which will fill you up pretty quickly. And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out. Make sure you follow their Instagram account and see where they will end up. Pro tip: turn on that notifications to see where they are and head there before the lunch rush appears.

There is a parking garage nearby that allowed for long enough free parking for us to go order and grab our goodies to go. The location itself doesn't have a lot of seating space, so it seems best set up for takeout, but it is a pleasantly bright space and the outdoor seating seems like it would be nice as they're not on a main throughfare. It's far from where my family lives on the island that we stay with when we're visiting, but next time we're near Ala Moana around lunchtime, we'll definitely stop by for some vegan goodies!

Like everyone else, I kept seeing their viral Bolognese sandwich all over social media, but I always put it off because I'm not a fan of mortadella. I'm so glad I finally gave them a chance because everything exceeded my expectations. We ordered the Salsiccia & Funghi pizza, Ortolana pizza, Il Calabrese, and the Il Parma sandwich. When I say the Il Parma was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, I mean it. I was literally craving it the next day. The flavors were incredible, and the fresh prosciutto made all the difference. The staff was so friendly and patient, taking the time to answer questions and give great recommendations. While we waited, we got to watch them slice the prosciutto fresh and fire the pizzas in the wood-burning oven, which made the experience even better. They were also running an awesome special: $10 pizza slices that are absolutely massive, plus a complimentary non-alcoholic spritz that was super refreshing. The shop doubles as a little Italian market, and I was already eyeing a rosé balsamic vinegar to take home next time. Parking was easy right in front, and it's located in a very walkable neighborhood. I was honestly ready to come back the very next day, but they're closed on Sundays.

The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.
