    We walked by this cute shop and had to come inside! There are a lot of choices on the menu, from boba to ice cream rolls to snow ice. We opted for the Honeydew Snow Ice and it was great! My keiki and husband and I shared it and it was perfect for after dinner. The service was okay.

    Strawberry Banana Smoothie with boba

    At end of the night while back home in 808. I was in the mood for some Boba after having dinner with friends. Since in the area like why not check out The Milktea Way for the first time. It located in my favorite shopping plaza Waimalu Shopping Mall. It located close to favorite one of my favorite spots Shiros. The Milktea Way not only boba drinks, smoothies, and think even food. We went just for the drinks. They also have wall of goodies and cracked seed action. Local understand see all different goodies in big glass jars. It almost like getting candy by the weight. So much better!! I got strawberry smoothie with boba. Amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have nice area chill with drinks and even have board games anyone play just put it back done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service five stars. Every staff member friendly, attentive, and awesome!

    The old S7 Icy bubble location in Waimalu shopping center. It's ok service was ok since no one else was in the store. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of room for a bubble tea spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a small selection of crack seed by the pound or pre-packaged items as well [[HIGHLIGHT]]Board games and chair if you want to hang out a bit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the Oreo smoothie without any add ons. It was ok taste like a cookie smoothie. A bit on the pricey side however

    Shopping in Waimalu Shopping Center in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... We were actually looking at the Blind Boxes here at The Milktea Way. It used to be S7 Icy Bubble. They must have changed their business name because I see my previous review and photos here. The menu looks like it hasn't changed. The merchandise is still cute! There are tote bags, pens, plushies, crack seed in jars, Labubus in glass display cases, and more! Take a look! Service was efficient and polite! (I got some cute pens!) Thanks for the free parking and wonderful air conditioning!

    Monsters and Smoothies... [[HIGHLIGHT]]Milktea Way has it and so much more here in Waimalu Shopping Center which apparently was formerly S7 Icy Bubble which you can tell when you enter with the LEGO wall that they're so famously have at each store which remains here is nice way to add the fun vibes they have here throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here since I heard they had some Labubu to be honest and wanted to see what they have and am impressed to see a showcase filled with various pendants and figurines all prices so you know right upfront is great to breaking with other fun merchandise like stationary totes and crack seeds as well jars and jars of seeds that I didn't expect is found here as well with a few tables is nice to see as well but the parking here is the biggest challenge as they have so many other amazing biz as well making it a great place to stop for a treat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you!

    Desserts come in many shapes, sizes, and style. Whether you're craving something with icecream or a drink, The Milk tea Way has got what you need. Service is good. Fast and commemorating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is a fun and welcoming setup with lots of toys and candies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Beware of this cap

    Ube Oreo smoothie with cheese foam is The Way Except that this location they used extract and Ube ice cream vs their Wahiawa location that uses extract and REAL UBE. It makes the world of difference in flavor and texture. Maybe it was just a one off, idk Also, they have these super cute covers, but they have a plug type opening for the straw, and the cheese foam was overfilled so it splooged in my car I normally wouldn't complain about getting anything extra, but there's no way to get the cup open or put the straw in without making a mess when the liquid inside is too full

    Easy ordering via Door dash- They also had a great deal on milk tea so I took advantage of that on the app- it was BOGO. Service: I didn't really interact with the staff since I ordered easily through the Door Dash app and picked it up in store, but otherwise, the order was ready as estimated on the app. Drink(s): Flavor was on point - not too sweet or overly milky. I added the brulee foam on top and added boba to the milk tea. The boba was warm and soft, which was really to my liking. Like most folks, I don't like it when the boba is hard and chewy. My only gripe about this location is that the parking can be a little tricky even though it's in a big plaza. There are big establishments near by and parking can get full quickly. In addition, the parking spots are very tight/tiny.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spacious, cute store located next to Jackie's Diner in Waimalu shopping center.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Neat lego wall on one side, jars of cracked seed on the other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Different anime type goodies, pens, bags, etc on racks & hooks for sale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Plenty of choices for drinks: bobas, various teas, specialty drinks. About 5 different flavors of bubble waffles. Quick & friendly service, the longest wait was 10 mins for the bubble waffle. Tasty treats that won't put a big dent in your pocketbook! They have a reward system too so be sure to enter your phone # when paying!

    Yummy.

    After dinner desserts here. My first time. Lots of choices and toys. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Games to play on tables. Super cool[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love this spot! Great place to hang out because they have games here you can play with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered their strawberry smoothie. Also bought a container of their pickled mango. They also have roll up ice cream and other desserts as well as crack seed! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love all the cute stuffs they have here like Labubus and cute stationaries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My passion guava drink
    Maritess C.

    This place used to be called S7. I guess they changed the name but this place is still good. Drinks and desserts are delicious. My daughter and I would come by here when I have extra money. Definitely try everything. Service is nice. People working here look young. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is bright and there's games to play like connect 4.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a restroom for customers to use. Very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I liked the ube smoothie. It wasn't too sweet and all the teas are good. I'm just not into milk tea. Parking can be tough on weekends but definitely go on a weekday

    We came here for açaí bowls after reading some yelp reviews. We normally go all the way to…read moreWaikiki's Waffle and Berry for our açaí fix, but living in Aiea makes it so far! We ordered the açaí bowl, (small $12.50 and large $14.50) and also ordered popsicles (10 for $15). Already the price of this was way cheaper than W&B. Liked it! I apologize for the lack of photos of our açaí bowls, but I have a bad habit of digging in right away then realizing that I forgot to take photos when it's half gone. I'll attach photos when I go back...because I most definitely will be back! I think I still prefer the taste W&B açaí, but the açaí here is really good and satisfies the craving! The popsicles on the other hand, were just ok. It was described as large otter pops and while I wouldn't go THAT far, I don't think I'll get those again. Didn't try the juice yet, but the price is pretty high so not sure if I'll get around to it. Especially since the açaí is soooo good!!! I'll probably always get that instead!

    I wish I could give this place a 3.5 overall, but the service deserves 0 stars…read more From the moment we walked in, there was zero acknowledgment from the employee. She was watching Tinker Bell on the TV and didn't greet us or even look up - no hello, no smile, just awkward silence. We were the only ones in the store and still had to awkwardly approach the counter just to get help. As first-time customers, there was also no explanation of the scoop sizes or pricing, which made ordering more confusing than it needed to be. When we finally ordered, two items were made correctly, but one person in our group ordered dragonfruit gelato. The employee started scooping strawberry instead, and even after we politely pointed it out, there was no acknowledgment or apology--just silence. It made for a really uncomfortable interaction. While we were eating, the employee went into the back, and we could hear her loudly scrolling on social media with the volume on full blast, even laughing at times. Toward the end of our visit, she came back to the front, sat down, and continued on her phone. The entire atmosphere felt so awkward that we decided to leave and finish our gelato in our cars. Even as we walked out, there was no thank you, no goodbye--no acknowledgment at all. It was honestly disappointing. That said, the gelato itself is actually really good, and the interior of the shop is nice. That's the only reason I'd consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. Proper customer service training is definitely needed. I would come back for sure, but I wouldn't return if that same employee was behind the counter.

    Instagram prize winners!!!…read more Traci T. (fellow Elite Yelp Hawaii member) and I were so thrilled to receive a message that informed us that we had won a super prize package from Mawps Hawaii and the Pearlridge Farmers Market (@AlohaFarmLovers). We decided to meet on November 20th at 9:30am to claim our prizes. Pearlridge Farmers Market is located on the upper level parking lot on the Macy's side. I entered from Moanalua Road and easily found free parking. Traci was prepared - she had an insulated bag! I just had a plastic Trader Joe's bag - good enough! We sure needed bags because Bryan and Cassie were so generous with their fresh watermelon juice and delicious smoothies! We started off with a Wellness Shot, made with tumeric. It's supposed to be good for improving circulation and fighting cancer and depression! It was a bit challenging to drink because it had a "warming effect"... Haha! Cheers! We did it! Next, Bryan made Sky Smoothies for us. The coconut milk base, papaya, and banana helped make the kale taste better! Not bad! Cassie made our Hawaiian Spirit smoothies with Li Hing sauce walls. The orange colored wall was so beautiful next to the pale colored banana, pineapple and mango mixture as a contrast! When I got home, I drank the smaller container of watermelon juice. It was so refreshing! It tied me over to my next meal! For sure, I'll be returning and bringing my empty bottles for refills! Besides Saturday mornings at the Pearlridge Farmers Market, Mawps is open at Ohana Hale Marketplace in Honolulu (on Ward Avenue) on Mondays through Thursdays from 10am to 4pm! Thank you to Bryan and Cassie for the friendly, efficient service and healthy juices and yummy Smoothies!

    A small tea/smoothy trailer available only on Saturdays…read more I think I heard of this place through a friend. They used to by the Waiau district park,but have now been at the Pearlridge parking next to the old Sears and Zippys. There's a gathering of a couple lunch trucks and a few picnic tables under some trees in a once busy parking lot. I think it's a nice little area to grab lunch and a drink. Zoomy Tea is a bright green trailer and you can see it from the street. They are only there on Saturdays. You can follow them on Instagram or Facebook. They have fruit smoothies and milk teas. What really caught my eye was the hojicha and genmaicha. Both are green tea based. The genmaicha is a green tea with roasted rice, which has a stronger flavor and a slight bitterness, but I liked it a lot. So many boba places just taste like milk shakes minus the tea, so it was nice to actually taste the tea for once. I had the sweetness at 25 percent. Both can be just tea or milk tea and of course you can add boba. The boba adds sugar and honey in Zoomy's case. They are super friendly and accommodating. They can affect how strong the tea to be to meet your liking. Oh in case you're wondering, their straws are bio degradable, but also super durable. They are not using mini toilet paper rolls that biodegrade in your drink. Ruins the entire experience. Glad they have good straws, which would never typically be in a review, but since this ban on plastics...it's come up so many times. I was craving it today, but it's Sunday...darn it.

    The boba teas and smoothies are really delicious. I…read morerecommend the place, come here, Pleasant atmosphere and 100% service
