1-29-26 came out of the Halmark shop and decided to try this little space outside of Dunkin's. Lots to choose from but asked for two medium matcha with green tea ice cream. Sweet young lady said boba is not ready. Don't need boba I replied. Best of 3 world: matcha like Jamba, green tea ice cream like Dave's and pudding on bottom like Coffee Tea. You can tell I like liquid refreshment, right? $18+ for 2 drinks. Par for the course... costly but good. Nice to try some place different. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Boba Cha - Honeydew melon shake. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

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. read more

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. read more

#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. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

Please do not come here. I was at the mall and saw this place and was in the mood for matcha so I got a large one which turned out to be 7 bucks. I took one sip and it was so grainy that I got sips of the powder... let me just say that residue did not go away. I tried mixing it and kept drinking it cause I paid seven dollars for a drink and didn't wanna waste it but I couldn't even finish a third of my drink before throwing it away. I then received the worse headache from the drink and irregular bowl movement if you know what I mean. Please save yourself the time and money and go to a different place. read more

This is our favorite boba tea place and i usually get the yummy milk tea. I'm so glad Doordash delivers. Thank you for packing our drinks securely with a seal when we order from doordash. My son got the melon boba and he enjoyed it. He always orders different flavors and he said theyre all good. When we dine close by we always try to stop by to grab couple drinks. The workers are always friendly. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Finally got to try Boba Cha after the change in management and I have to say I was not disappointed. Boba Cha is located in the "downtown" phase of Pearlridge in one of the kiosks near Icing and Dunkin Donuts. They have a variety of drinks varying from teas, to milk teas, and smoothies. Their prices are fair ranging from $3.50 - $5 depending on what you order and which add-ons you include. We ordered 24 drinks that day for work and the man working did an excellent job fulfilling our order and he was working alone I might add. All the drinks were delicious and made well:). Will definitely come back here to get my boba fix! read more

Boba Cha - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I had dropped into Pearlridge the other afternoon and decided to treat myself to a cool drink. I knew this place was there and headed over. If you haven't been to this side of Pearlridge, Boba Cha sits near the escalators on the second of three floors, this floor being the main one. This was my first time visiting so I went with the Classic Milk Tea, the first one listed on the menu. You have choices to add boba, jelly, etc but for now I stuck with what's in the name, boba. Plus, they are fun to drink. Since I was the only one there, my order came out real quick and it was delicious! Not too sweet with a tea flavor and the boba had a good texture to it. I have experienced another place a while ago where the boba was actually mushy, probably overcooked. I will be back to try some of the others soon.. read more

Boba Cha - Milk tea w/ boba!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I didn't realize at first that there was new management here. This might explain the difference in the drinks from my previous visits. One of my regular drinks is the lychee black tea (here and at Coffee or Tea?) and I order it the same way each time. This time, it tasted different - more syrupy? Maybe it's sweeter now or the balance isn't quite there yet. One of the guys working there was helpful and on top of things, while the other was on his phone and didn't seem so enthusiastic to be there. Anyway, if you're craving a boba drink and you're in the mall, I would stop by. It was fine, but the drinks weren't the best - not something I would go out of my way to get, like I would for some other tea places. I'm hoping that over time, the quality will get back to how it was previously! read more

Boba Cha is under new management. Yes, it is under Coffee or Tea? This is their 5th location on Oahu. I'm very excited for them. My recent favorite is their Oolong milk tea. I get them half sugar so I feel better about my guilty pleasure. Their specialty is consistent high quality drinks and customer service. read more

only giving one star because the lady was sweet and nice to talk to. otherwise, this boba place is a total rip off. It sucks when you order specific things and get charged extra and in the end you don't get the things you paid extra for. Especially paying almost $10 for a drink. also, they just opened when they took my order. matter of fact, they supposedly opened "late". is what I was told by the lady. 3 workers in total and only one lady was making the drinks and taking orders. while some guy just does dishes and another lady just stands there and looks completely lost. ---- you would think that their boba would be fresh because they just opened. well nope, they had a full tub of boba looked like it was just sitting in their fridge from the previous day and they used that to serve the next day. I was also asked by another customer if Their drinks were made of fresh fruit. But honestly it isn't. I seen them make it with powder/syrup. No thanks, but that was the last for me. I only went here because it was the only boba shop near me And I didn't want to go anywhere else. But if you want quality boba drinks, it's better to skip this place. I'd rather go to another boba shop Even if It takes a long drive. read more

Boba Cha is located in downtown Pearlridge right in the middle of the mall. My brother and I always pass by this place and always debate whether we should go here or not.. we finally ordered drinks here one day because Hawaii is hot as hell. I realized that a popular milk tea joint called "Coffee or Tea" is apart of Boba Cha! My go-to drink has got to be the Hazelnut Milk tea with custard. My brother loves their Original Milk tea with pearl. My Husband is basic so he gets their Strawberry Smoothie. These drinks are so yummy and extremely refreshing! Especially when you're dehydrated LOL Service here is great. The workers are usually attentive and prompt. Drinks are made pretty quickly. The only thing I suggest is that, if you're going to get the super jumbo size drink.. Make sure you ask for light ice or no ice! Because your drink will get super watery. Other than that, I love this place!! read more

I'm glad there's this boba shop in downtown pearlridge because i am a boba fanatic. they have such a wide selection of boba drinks.

Boba cha has never dissatisfied me. Except for tonight, but it's not too bad. Not only that the worker was taking her time taking orders, she then was also taking so long to make orders. She also messed up on somebody's order so she had to fix that all before my order was taken. However, the long wait was worth it because my drink always come out perfect. So I would still rate it a pretty 4. read more

Location: They are located "downtown" of Pearlridge Shopping Center across from Book Off and Claire's. It is a small standalone shop near the escalators where the old chocolate shop use to be. Drinks: They had free samples of a variety of flavors. I didn't care for the samples but I was intrigued by the cookie coffee frap advertisement by the pick up side. I love coffee and Oreos so I decided to give it a try. The worker said they can also make chocolate and Oreo walls on the cup! Yes, Yes, Yes!!! The final verdict = Deliciously Amazing! The coffee was strong and I could taste the Oreo with every sip. I LOVE it!!! They only serve drinks as I did not see anything else on the menu besides teas, slushes, smoothie and coffee drinks. There are two drink sizes; medium and large. Service: The ladies were friendly and helpful when I had questions. I love that they suggested the chocolate and Oreo walls for my drink. Price: Prices are reasonable. I spend $5 on my medium drink. Most drinks averaged $5. Overall, Yes I will be back for the the Coffee Cookie Frap!!! I wouldn't mind trying the Winter Melon Tea Latte on a future visit as well. read more

I usually get my smoothies at the Boba shop on Macy's side of the mall, but I decided to try this place since I went to Longs to pick up a few things. Instant regret. Their "fresh fruit" smoothie tasted absolutely horrible. I got a watermelon smoothie and the watermelon tasted at least a week old! Bad taste and the texture was off. It was so bad that I threw it away. I wasted 5 dollars on yuck. Customer service is weird too. The girl was making my drink and Every time a new customer walked up she would stop what she was doing and walk to the register. Is this a new way to do business? It seems very insufficient. Nonetheless I waited over ten minutes on something that should have taken three minutes or less. Will not return. Go to the boba place on Macy's side it's a lot better. read more

I was craving for a boba drink before we heading up to watch a movie. I usually go to the one downstairs by Longs but decided to try this place out since it was on our way up to the theaters. What caught my eyes was the delicious cookie monster frap ad that was eyeing me out. So of course I had to get it. I ordered a regular size drink for about $5 which is average for drinks nowadays. The only downfall was they didn't have tapioca balls available at that time so that was what I felt was missing. Although they did offer other jellys to add inside the drink which I later realized maybe the coffee jelly would have been sufficed enough for a boba filler. The drink itself was super good! The cookie monster frap was filled with chocolate and oreo walls topped with more oreos on top of the coffee frap. Definitely worth trying! Looking forward to trying other flavors they have there the next time I'm in the area. read more

First off, I was lied to several times. The menu clearly lists smoothies in size medium and large. The girl working on May 11 approximately 245 pm said they only came in size large. Fine, the price was only $.75 more. When she was taking the order, she lied again and said it came with lychee, I said I really didn't want that, she said it comes with it for free, so I asked if I could choose something else and she said ok. When it came time to pay, the total was over $7. In reading others negative reviews, you have to pay for any toppings like boba etc...so it all makes sense why I paid so much. The menu price lists $5.75 for a large smoothie. The worker lied to me to upsell me into something I didn't even want. Will not be coming back and will most likely dispute the additional charges on my credit card! ********I just read the review posted right under mine and yes, I was totally ripped off on may 11. I was up sold a larger drink and up sold toppings. Will definitely be contacting my credit card company. This is bad business. read more

I heard this place has a new owner so I decided to give it a try today. First of all, I like they serve their drinks in different sizes. Secondly, clean and fast service.
