    Avocado Shake

    Items Ordered: Avocado Smoothie (my go-to!) Chocolate Oreo Shake (50% sweet) Peach Iced Tea with Lychee Jelly (50% sweet) This place never disappoints! I always get the avocado smoothie -- it's rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend if you're an avocado fan. My friend ordered the chocolate Oreo shake at 50% sweetness. It was still quite flavorful, with a strong chocolate and Oreo taste. Next time she might go for 25% since it's on the sweeter side, but still very good! Another friend got the peach iced tea with lychee jelly at 50% sweetness -- super refreshing and just right for the hot weather. A perfect light option. They also have a new item on the menu: Labubu Milk Tea Ice Cream. It's super creative, very aesthetic, and fun to eat. Definitely Instagram-worthy! Overall, love the drink variety here and the fun seasonal items. Great spot to cool down and treat yourself when you're in the area.

    Watermelon smoothie
    Jackie K.

    Really nice person helped answer my questions. First time trying here. She recommended the fresh fruit watermelon slushy, as I had requested something refreshing and not sweet. You can select your level of sweetness here. I chose 50%. I added boba as an afterthought. It's an additional 75 cents. Bad move on my part. Skip the boba, it didn't taste fresh. Squishy soft if you like that. No taste to the boba. As for the watermelon slushy, they used fresh cut watermelon, ice and a liquid sweetener (I believe). That's it. Not sweet at all. Great watermelon flavor. Highly recommend the fresh fruit slushy, minus the boba lol. It's a kiosk located by the down escalator to Longs Drugs. It's clean and a well kept area. Nice attractive kiosk.

    Honeydew melon shake.
    Siosefa P.

    I'm a fan of honeydew melon Boba. This is the first place that I've been to that they use real honeydew, they actually blended into the drink instead of using the powder. I appreciate that so much and the taste is so much more better. If you wanna come to the Boba Cha, they're very nice and welcoming, but sometimes you have to wait and that's OK. Be patient with the workers. I'll be back and I'll bring more people.

    It's Halloween and we just finished work so me and Wayne wanted to get a drink so we ran into a kiosk Boba Cha. I chose my favorite an Ube smoothie and he had coconut... Phenomenal drinks. The owner even offered us a Halloween special and added a dark topping on my drink to enhance the flavors. Great service with a smile. I'll be back again TOMORROW

    Coconut pineapple smoothie with boba. This was the large size.

    Boba Cha in Lower Pearlrudge shopping center. Came on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30. Our first time here. Was looking for something refreshing after lunch. We ordered the Coconut Pineapple Smoothie with boba. For some reason I thought there would be fresh fruit but there was none. Everything was in powdered form. The safest thing to order here is probably coffee or tea if you're not looking for anything fresh. The smoothie tasted ok. They give a lot of boba, which was nice and firm, not mushy like some other places. I thought the price was reasonable for the size. Service was good. This kiosk is located near the bottom of the escalators at lower Pearlridge, across Dunkin' Donuts. Would I return? Yes! For some coffee or tea, but not for fruit smoothies.

    Front of Claire's downtown
    Lelabee D.

    Love this place!! Milk tea was on point especially when so ask for a sweeter side. Mango black tea very fruity, love it! Service very fast and friendly. Location downtown pearlridge in the middle of the mall in front of DD and Claire's, cookie corner. Mood: satisfied

    Mango yogurt smoothie must try. They use greek yogurt. Refreshing. Will come back !!!!!!!!!!!

    Lychee with green tea + boba
    Ruby S.

    #36 for 2021 Superb customer service from cashier to worker that made my drink. Ordering was a breeze. Didn't have to give a sweetness percentage. Surprised my lychee green tea with boba was done in less than a minute. Gave four stars for slightly harder than chewy boba.

    Avocado banana smoothie... 11.17.21
    Jenn N.

    11.17.21 Wednesday. Efficiency is the key! I've been to so many tea places that yes I've lost track on what makes a great place like tea places. I've also Noticed that most these places either have closed or change location. The pandemic has made it rough for Some of these tea places but this place... they have been there through and through. Let me just point out when they first established the place... it was (shrug shoulders) meh- yea another tea place.... - vegan diets -such things like "Impossible" - and The COVID PANDEMIC- they were closed and bless them they tried opening again mid March 2020!! --- which left them at the (shoulder shrug) part of where they left off when they opened.... and then... over time..... the other businesses complimented them... I mean seriously- the "Bing Bros" opened and then the katsu Lobster sando place and Uncle's with the seafood and the hotdog place which was (don't get me wrong I loved pronouncing that Korean name it was for hot dog on the stick) and the popcorn and roasted nuts across them and cookie corner right there!! --- yes we need that drink place! The best part is--- I discovered they make their Smoothies pure. There isn't the "powdered" mixes or sugar in the one I picked... and I wanna believe that their small choices they have can also bemade without sugar when you ask for it that way... and I really appreciate that... Rabbit Rabbit tea is just like this too! And this place does it. My avocado banana smoothie was just that without the sugar! Perfection! Thanks Boba Cha.... your neighbor buddies selling all the right stuff for us to get a delicious drink from you and--- (my choice) without the sugar! Thank you... I might try the yogurt with strawberry next time. ((Any chance on getting crushing boba? That would be awesome)) Yum! Yes!! Mahalo for being there!!

    Lychee black tea
    Nadine C.

    Boba tea at Pearlridge, Oahu, Hawaii... It was a scorching August day. We had just finished AYCE Korean BBQ and I was full. However, there's always room for liquids, right? I was really thirsty and saw this kiosk across the way. I'm not familiar with Pearlridge Mall, so I'm not going to be picky. Anything will do! After browsing the menu, I ordered the Lychee black tea. I like fruity, so this was just right! However, I had to order a Jumbo size so that I could use my credit card... there's a $5 minimum. No problem! There was only one gal working here. She took orders, collected payment, and made the drinks. Wow! What a hard worker! She really hustled! If I was at Pearlridge again and needed a drink, I would return! The free parking and air conditioning at the mall are much appreciated!

    You could tell their babo is freshly made. Highly recommend!!!! Will return !!!!!!!!!!

    Amazing peach smoothie with lychee jelly. So good and so friendly the people
    Jae L.

    MY DRINK WAS WORTH IT. Amazing I had the peach smoothie with Lychee Jelly and it was fantastically refreshing and a awesome yummy drink to sip as I walked through the mall. I drank ever last sip.^_^ I definitely will be ordering this same drink next time. It was perfect. As I ordered then waited for my order these young girls passed us by and were telling their friends dont buy from here it doesnt taste good... I dont know what they were talking about it was fantastic! Dont knock this spot if you aren't a fan of the usual boba I suggest trying the smoothie and adding some Lychee Jelly! It's more like a SLUSHIE!! As for me the medium is big enough but I know as the seasons get hotter LARGE FOR ME will be sooo much better and I'll get a double of the Jelly. Hehe. Try it!

    100% sweet is more like 1,000% sweet
    Kaliko P.

    Don't EVER order the 100% sweet unless you like your teeth falling out and your blood glucose levels to spike up to 1,000! My son ordered the Creme Strawberry Milk Tea, medium sized, with boba and it cost around $7.00. The Strawberry Milk Tea had a strange flavor, like powdered baby formula. DISLIKE! My son thought it was OK, so that's why the 3-stars.

I've seen Coffee or Tea? whenever I'm in the area but really have the hardest time finding parking at this Crossroads at Waipio complex which is probably why the limit customer parking to 30 minutes to be fair but then that leaves you little time to sit and relax as they do have some tables inside to do so. After finishing at Car Wash 808 Express I though to give it a try and was lucky enough to get a parking and knew it was meant to be as I walked in liked what I saw inside as it's nice and clean and quite spacious and had many of the snacks and treats to choose from as well. I did notice their featured drinks and the Honey & Lemon Black Tea which sounded exactly what I needed and though I'm able to adjust the sweetness and ice level as well is nice to enjoy my drink, the staff made it very fast and efficient giving me lots of time to run over to Golden Coin for some lunch as well. Love this cozy spot though the time limit does deter me from visiting here as I do like to sit and enjoy my tea sometimes as well. Thank you!

The drive-thru is very convenient when I'm getting coffee on my way to work. However, it does tend to get really busy and sometimes when I see how backed up it is, I just leave. I do feel that they prioritize the drive-thru over walking in because a few times I would just go in to order if the drive-thru is busy and the barista taking my order appears to be taking and making orders for the drive-thru. There were also a few instances I saw where you can't even go in to order and could only go to the drive-thru. I do understand when they say they're short-staffed and I see how it can get pretty busy. I'm just sharing my past experience but I do continue to come here because my drinks are always made to how I like it and I love that they're open a little later than other coffee shops! Some of the drinks I love: Iced Vietnamese Cold Brew (it can be strong sometimes) Iced White Chocolate Latte Iced Hazelnut Latte Iced Blended Cookies & Cream Iced Blended Caramel Iced Blended Cookie Butter (it can be really sweet) Li Hing Lemonade I love when they have Mo'Jo Mondays where they feature a drink for $3.
