They have amazing drinks. I believe they were the only one in Salt Lake Moanalua area when they first opened in 99 Ranch Moanalua Taiwanese type delicious decorated shave ice! I think they were one of the pioneer that started bobbles pearl drinks, smoothies, Roselani ice cream? I would go to 99 ranch just to get my Azuki bean, ice cream shave ice! Now at NEX they serve outstanding delicious Bubbles, jelly, menu sweet galore! Now situated in NEX second floor! Friendly quick to go drinks! One must ask server not to make too sweet like my drink jasmine lychee jelly drink I've forgotten to make it less sweet but drink is okay! read more

Look for sometea... Always searching for that refreshing sip I thought to give this place a try, as I scan their menu they seem to have a lot of smoothies and when a place shows no fresh fruits I assume it's all syrup based flavors. Here everything done hidden in the back and my choices were quite limited to either Black or Jasmine Tea with either blueberry, kiwi, lilikoi, lychee, mango, peach, pineapple or strawberry so I decided on peach as thought it wouldn't be as sweet which then she asked if I wanted any toppings...tapioca, poppers or the standard jellies...bleh! Nothing spectacular so I opted out of toppings which she was "are you sure!?"...so I asked...do you have coconut jelly? No...I'm sorry I don't like the ones you have. Peach tea plain but they did have sweetness level which was light for me and it was still too sweet...I realize that I roll in a different way and knew this was a bad idea and didn't finish my drink. I do see that they have a great variety of milk alternatives which is nice and that popular items are highlighted in red, these aren't really bad mall prices but is very basic though do see that they also have shave ice and frozen yogurt as well. Thank you! read more

Böba Bliss - the interior of boba licious - Bubble Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Food: As a last minute hurrah prior to heading back home, I had a mission to eat as many shaved ice as possible! Came here because I was told it was great- ordered the azuki and mango shaved ice! They were both delicious and definitely got some brain freeze here and there as I tried to consume it all since time was precious! Cost: Average cost- definitely as you plan to add more extras and topping it can become expensive but baseline cost of their sets are still are relatively affordable. Environment: Situated inside a mall, there are ample seating throughout and a great way to enjoy something sweet at you window shop around. Service: There wasn't much of a line when I came to order and so the wait was not long at all. I did see two people working and so if things got busy and there was a long line I can see there being a little bit of a wait time. Uniqueness: You can never go wrong with some shaved ice and this place definitely fulfills that craving! read more

I use to love buying the yogurt and acai bowls here. I would stop by several times a month to indulge in pure heaven. Recently the shop has new owners and it shows. First off, the friendly greeter is no longer there. It seems all of the employees were replaced or quit. The acai bowl has been one of my favorites on island but now it is disgusting. The fruit was frozen, the acai was so runny I could have drank it. I returned to the shop with it, voicing my concern. They did not offer a replacement, no refund, nothing. When I saw they were doing nothing to correct the issue I discarded it in the nearby trash. I will not go back. read more

My boys and I were feeling a little parched from all that shopping. At first this was not our first choice, but Taste Tea wasn't even open yet! (They open 2 hrs after the mall even opens). Nevertheless we stopped here and I noticed they were still getting settled but the girl kindly noticed us. We were deciding which drink to try and settled for the strawberry milk tea with boba. The boba was perfectly made and delicious! The drink was smooth and sweet! I wouldn't mind coming back and trying out more drinks on their menu soon. read more

My daughter got the non dairy taro smoothie with boba. She enjoyed her drink. I loved mine. There were pieces of lychee inside along with boba. I finished my large. Good amount of drink you have inside the large. It's located inside the Pearl Ridge mall. We walked around waiting for my mother in law to call hubby and pick her up at her doctor's appointment. I would come back to try other items. The lady behind the counter was nice. read more

Böba Bliss - Watermelon Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I love drinking Bubble tea while walking around the mall. Since Taste Tea for some reason was closed till 12 we decided to try this place which is right across from Lavish Uptown side Pearl Ridge. Menu is bright, colorful and really easy to understand. They have standard flavors and being that I'm basic it was easy for me to order my usual. Avocado Smoothie with Boba and Lychee Jelly. YUM. Gf went with a Caramel Smoothie with Coffee Jelly and Tapioca. To our surprise the Boba was very flavorful and yummy ! My avacado smoothie was thick and luscious, and the caramel smoothie was just right and not too sweet. Prices are fair and my experience here so far has been positive. Will update my next visit here! read more

Came here two weekends in a row. Last weekend I asked for two ounces of the taro flavor for my 2 year old, the older gentleman gave me four. Didn't say anything and just paid for it. I thought maybe he misunderstood me and it was a simple mistake... Came back the following weekend. An older woman at the counter appeared very grumpy, which is fine I'm just there for the treat. I ask for 2 oz again. She says, "thats not enough". I explain it's for my two year old and he doesn't need much. And on the menu it says something like 99cents an ounce. I just wanted 2. She walks away and comes back with my order and it's obviously filled way more than 2 ounces. I say I only wanted 2oz. She said (with attitude) it's minimum 5 ounces and tried to charge me for it. I told her I can't find on the menu where it says that and she didn't bother to show me. Maybe it says it on the menu idk but I didn't bother to stick around to look after cause I was pissed. Last week I got 4 oz so obviously it didn't make sense to me. I told her I didn't ask for that. She just stares at me with a sour face so I tell her nvm... and walk away with my son. Normally I would let things like this slide and just pay the extra but this was 2 weeks in a row and she had such a bad attitude. She at minimum could have just informed me BEFORE she made the order. It seems like this place doesn't care about communicating with you so you walk away with what you wanted and satisfied, but instead they are just trying to make you more than you ask for and expect you to be nice enough to just buy it... not coming back read more

Located in the mall, this place was a great pick-me-Up from the heat! The tapioca boba was cooked really well (sometimes they can be raw and hard or stuck together). They have a large variety of toppings for drinks AND their frozen yogurt, too. I appreciate how the blended drinks (smoothies) have both dairy and non-dairy options; I got mango/lychee smoothie. Many of these being super fresh: avocado and watermelon! If you need a fixin' for something easy and refreshing, then this is your place. read more

I like black thai tea with boba and I always get the same drink. I usually get it from another place in mililani but have been going through here more often since the holidays and I stop by sometimes. I'm not really impressed, it's not a bad shop and the tea doesn't taste bad either. Its just inconsistent. As I said with me always getting the same drink, this place always seem to make it different each and every time. Its either one of these three things.. sometimes it's too sweet, other times you can hardly tell they added the right amount of sweetness and usually in combination with those two is there isn't enough boba. This place could be really good if they figure this out and I would be happy to keep coming by. Time will tell and when it does I will gladly change the rating. Please feel free to look through my photos and check out their menu. Ps. Parking could be tough during busy times. Its inside the mall so you will have to find a parking space and walk through the mall. read more

Was not expecting such strong tea. Got the mango black tea with tapioca and loved that I could really taste the black tea. Tapioca was chewy and a bit tough just how I like it. Unfortunately although I loved my drink my friends did not enjoy their oolong(75% sweet) and jasmine(100% sweet) milk teas as it tasted more watery. However, the tea in both were still strong. read more

I got a drink made, pina colada, and it tasted sour. But I wasn't the only one who thought so. My kids tried it, and so did my husband. They all agreed that it tastes awful. So I take it back and ask if we can get a different drink because it tastes bad. The woman behind the counter argued "we cannot make you another just because you don't like it" I said it's not about whether I like, it's the fact that the drink is SOUR. She argues that she followed the recipe. "Pineapple sometimes is sour!" I'm ????confused??? Pineapple is sweet. So she proceeds to bring me pineapple samples. It tastes fine! I told her maybe it's the milk. She brings me a sample of the coconut milk. I sniffed it and WOW!!! WAS IT RANCID! And she argued with me that it wasn't! I can't! She didn't want to admit that the coconut milk was bad. Never going back sorry. read more

Looks like the shop is sold to a new owner, I used to ask for around $6 of frozen yogurt but this time I was told that they can't do it for two flavors instead it will be $8. Okay I still ordered...they do it for you and you could only tell them the flavors...THEN I ended up paying like $11!! Will never go back again! Feel like getting robbed! And their attitude isn't nice at all the staff literally cut me off when I try to tell her about how much I want it in the cup. Oh also the toppings are no longer by weight, they put them in containers and sold by containers read more

I buy one thing and one thing only here and it's their cappuccino smoothie with lychee jelly. I'm human and this is one of my habits. I like it. To me, it's not too sweet and and not too overwhelming bitter. I ordered the same for my mom but with boba and she thoroughly enjoyed it. So there you have it for that one item on their menu I phone ordered and it was ready within 5-10 minutes. The older woman (I think she runs the shop) was very polite on the phone and when I went to pick it up. I'm in and out and on with my day. If you're fond with flavored drinks, some are made with powder. Mine was but I didn't mind it. Whenever I go to Pearlridge, this is my go-to because it's the only place I can think of that has a good coffee blended drink. Always will continue to come here as I always have for many years. read more

This tiny shop is located next to the now closed Aeropostale. I was happy to see a froyo shop pop up at the mall, but every time I go there I change my mind and get something else. I'm kind of addicted to their watermelon smoothie. At first , I thought they were gonna add some yogurt since smoothies usually do have some added, but it's just watermelon and ice blended together. I love watermelon. The 16 oz is $4.50 and the 22 oz is $5.25 without any add one. The owner who works here seems like a quiet guy, but my orders have always come out correct and I am quite content with that. The prices here are cheaper than the downtown (movie side) boba shop and the watermelon tastes much much fresher and sweeter. I'm hoping they will still have watermelon year round. Because I love watermelon. read more

While walking around in Pearlridge uptown side, I started to feel hungry like I was still craving some sweet to please my stomach. I just remembered that they have a Robeks in the bottom floor. As I looked them up on my Yelp app, I come to find out that they closed down. The question that was going through my mind is where can I find acai bowls in the mall?!?!?! Boba-licious cafe offered some acai bowls. Why not give them a try. The owner was nice and explained the difference between the acai bowl and pitaya bowl. I like berry taste more than tart taste. He also asked if the granola and honey was ok to put in the bowl. Some people are allergic to nuts and honey. Good that he asked before the worker started my order. Acai bowl is $7.99 and the pitaya bowl is $7.75 The bowl is super big for one person, but because I was so hungry I ate it all. The bowl contained acai smoothie mixture, bananas, strawberries, melon, peaches, coconut stripes, granola, and honey drizzled over it with a cherry on top. Overall: I would say the acai bowl was alright, nothing outstanding. My critique was how they used low quality granola in the acai bowl. It tasted slightly stale and had no crunch. It was flat oats. The acai melted quicker than I thought it would. I was quite disappointed after I finished. I had higher expectations after seeing the reviews. They focus more on quantity rather than quality of the ingredients. They need to reassess their products before using them in their drinks, shave ice, and bowls. Of course, I was probably one of their first guinea pigs to taste their acai bowls. Most the Yelpers didn't mention about the acai bowls in their reviews. The boba and smoothies were talked about the most. Would I return to this place after trying this place? Probability of that happening is low. I would prefer if the worker who served me the acai bowl wear gloves regardless if she washed her hands. Hand sanitation should always be considered in every food establishment. read more

Boba-licious was another boba adventure of mine. It is located uptown Pearlridge across from Payless. My order was taken right away and greeted by a nice lady. I tried their Jasmine milk tea with mini boba. Their mini boba is rather medium sized boba because it's bigger than mini but smaller than regular. Jasmine milk tea had a good flavor to it and refreshing. Boba was on the harder side and I could see why. I did come towards the end of the mall hour. You can also adjust the sugar level which is always a plus for me. They do have a whole bunch of other desserts as well. read more

I love that they have Bubbies mochi ice cream here! They only offer 6 flavors though: espresso/choc, chocolate, strawberry, mango, lychee, & green tea. It's usually pretty fresh, although I did get a stale batch once. I wasn't too happy about that. I had to throw out the mochi but I still ate the ice cream inside. $1.25 for one or $5.49 for 5. Decent prices overall. They also offer frozen yogurt (which I've yet to try) with several toppings, boba tea, and Korean shave ice (NOT Hawaiian style!). I ordered the azuki shave ice thinking it was like the Hawaiian style. Ugh, unfortunately that was not the case. Azuki shave ice is literally just that: shave ice, azuki beans, and condensed milk. I didn't like it at all but I was expecting something sweet and flavorful like Hawaiian shave ice. The Korean shave ice looked better though with more toppings. I also tried the boba tea with coffee jelly. The boba was bland and the coffee jelly was hard and flavorless as well. It's not like the soft sweet flavorful coffee jelly that is offered at Tea Time or Coffee & Tea. The girls that usually work the stand are friendly and nice. Overall, I would give them 1.5 stars but the fact they have Bubbies (so I can get my mochi ice cream fix) and at a reasonable price, which saves me a trip into Hawaii Kai or town, bumps them up to 2 stars! LOL. Sorry, but not enough to justify a 3 star rating yet. I'll give their smoothies a try. Maybe that will bump them up? read more

Total was $27.18 I tried something different today... pineapple smoothie with li hing mui powder, boba, rainbow jelly. Pretty good. Then a strawberry lychee smoothie with boba and jelly...actually sounds yuck but the daughter ordered that one. Of course the 2 yogurts was just a whole mix of flavors and toppings. Guess tjis is dinner for me! Convenience of being in the mall...good service and quick to get our order. Of course I'll be back and would recommend this place to others. read more

It was busy when I went to try them out, wanted my boba fix but didn't wanna walk to downtown pearl ridge because of the outpour outside. So I settled for this & wish I didn't.

I am a froyo junkie, so when I saw this little shop as I wandered around the mall, I knew that I would need to stop by for some dessert. Upon arriving, I saw that there were many different flavors available. However, there were no taster cups out, so I asked the employee at the register. (I can understand why they wouldn't want to leave cups out in the mall, since I'm sure mall-goers would help themselves to endless free samples and jam up the lines.) The employee brought some small cups from behind the register and asked which flavors I would like to try. He poured small samples of vanilla and green tea for me to try. I wasn't very impressed with the vanilla, but oh my matcha, that green tea was delicious! I got a cup of green tea for myself and added toppings. They had lots of fresh fruits, chocolates, and other treats. All the options were presented neatly. He weighed and rung up the order. The price was pretty much on par with what you would find at other froyo places in the area. I also noticed that they carry Bubbies mochi ice cream, another one of my favorites! I would definitely get that green tea again since it was so delicious, but I would also be interested in tasting some of the other flavors next time. read more

This place has such a great location in the mall that it can't be missed. It's on the ground level uptown Pearlridge across from Payless. I've tried the froyo (which you can never go wrong) and several different smoothies from here. I didn't care for the strawberry banana (sour) or the taro (bland) but I did like the avocado and loved the cappuccino smoothie. You can add all types of toppings for a small additional charge. Some of my favorites are the flavored jellies and the small and large boba. The price is comparable to most other smoothie/milk tea shops $5-6. They have 2 sizes to choose from 16 and 22. They also have a rewards program to keep track of points that can be used towards a free drink. I haven't tried the milk tea here yet so that is next on my to taste list. This place is good, the employees are pleasant and the location is convenient. read more

I passed by this location a few times and told myself I was going to try this place out. One day while shopping I decided that I wanted tea and something that didn't have much caffeine because it was at night and i wasn't about to be up late at night all night. I asked them which one had the least caffeine and they suggested green tea. I ordered green tea with peach mango and small boba. It wasn't too sweet, it was perfect. I'd like to try their shave ice next it looks really good. Location: In Pearlridge Mall next to the old Aeropostale. Service: They were friendly, quick and fast Parking: The Mall has lots of ample parking read more

Böba Bliss - Peach Mango Tea Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Located within Pearl ridge mall, first floor near Payless and restrooms. They serve a variety of treats such as boba drinks, acai and pita bowls, frozen yogurt, and bubbies ice cream. Service was quick on a Sunday, especially for only two personnel. I got an almond milk tea with boba and my husband got a pitaya bowl. I liked how my drink wasn't sweet and I could taste the almond. They don't put a whole lot of boba and that's fine with me, cause I can actually drink my drink without having a mouthful of boba. My husband's pitaya bowl was awesome. It came with honey, strawberry, kiwi, coconut, nuts, and banana. My toddler actually ate the kiwis. Lol. I was surprised and she's very hard to please. Both our treats were about $13. Pricey, but it was good. I don't mind coming back. Btw, their bubbies ice cream was cheaper than Safeway too. read more

This place has everything, powdered milk tea , smoothies with real fruits , acai bowls and yogurts. It's located in Pearlridge Uptown and is located where the old Aeropostale used to be . The smoothie and bubble drinks come in 2 sizes -- 16 oz ($4) and 22 oz ($5) . You can add jellies or boba for an additional 50 cents. All their smoothies are made out of fresh fruit. What my friend and I were surprised the most was their Lilikoi and Guava smoothie. My friend got the guava smoothie with large boba and it tasted like guava nectar. I got the mango smoothie with boba for $6 and it tasted like mango but I disliked tasting the hair on the mango. read more

Böba Bliss - 22 oz Mango Smoothie with boba ($6.09) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Stumbled upon this little boba place while walking through the uptown mall of pearlridge. It's located right below the stairs by Farrell's and across Payless shoe store. The only other boba place I know of at Pearlridge is the downtown side by Longs. We made sure it was fresh fruit products before purchasing. If it was powder I probably wouldn't have gotten drinks here. Anything fresh makes any smoothie better and just slightly healthier in a way. I ordered the strawberry banana combo for myself, mango for my fiancé and honey dew (only flavor that's not real fruit) for my mom. We all both enjoyed our drinks. It's refreshing and had enough sweetness to it. Their boba prices are at the average costs of the competitors out there in the mall setting locations. $4.50 for the 16oz and $5.25 for the 22oz plus $.50 more if you want boba. I wouldn't mind coming back here to try the other variety dessert items they have here. Took quite some time to get our order but giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're still new and probably trying to adjust to a system that works best for them. read more

I almost never have drinks at these types of places but my daughter purchased me a watermelon slush - DEELICIOUS! The menu is very confusing and we actually didn't know they had frozen yogurt until we stood aside and were waiting for our order because the sign is way off to the left albeit it's larger than life. The protocol also for ordering is not clear and that sign is small and way off to the right. Counter person was polite although not enthusiastic. I'd drink that watermelon heaven again tho! read more

Since this place opened up, I've been wanting to try it. I think I came here on 01.20.17, after I ate at gomatei. There was a short line and when it was my turn to order, I didn't know what kinda milk tea to get so I asked the man at the register what he recommended. He said besides the regular milk tea and Thai tea, he recommended about 4 other flavored ones. If I remember correctly they were: strawberry, honeydew, matcha, and taro. I thought about it for a moment, but decided to get the Thai tea 75% sweetness and no boba. I didn't wait long until my drink was ready. The Thai tea was good, but it was still really sweet. So next time I get something, I'll get 50% sweetness. The service was good, the man was really nice and helpful. The drink was good, too, just a little sweet for me. read more

I looove this boba place! They have the popping boba which is the best! (And most tea shops don't have). They also have a lot of different toppings to chose from.. tapioca pearls, jelly, popping boba.. and they have gummy bears, Oreos, granola, different cereals and nuts.. My favorite drink is the honeydew with mango popping boba. But they also have shave ice, açaí bowls and frozen yogurt and mochi ice cream read more

Pretty good. Thank goodness line was short. They should have two cash registers instead of just one. One line should be for the yogurt and the other for drinks. I don't think it's good for someone to stand at the register while those in their party are making their yogurt, trying to decide which topping to put on. My sister ordered the black milk tea with boba and loved it, she said it was better than tea time, hurray since parking sucks over there. I ordered the lychee jasmine infused tea and boy was it way way too bitter. It was as if you left your black tea bag in the teapot with only 1/3 cup of water for over a week, just super super bitter. I couldn't drink it. I will go back again and at least try the smoothies. Hopefully the line won't be ridiculous. read more
