I used to be obsessed with Taste Tea growing up and to see how much it's fallen off over the years…read moreis so heartbreaking. I ordered the classic black milk tea as I usually do and although i ordered it to be 50% sweet it tasted like straight sugar water and powder. The aromatic flavors of the tea just aren't there anymore. As disappointed as I was, I still kept going back to give it more chances but it's just disappointment after disappointment. The service was okay. There was a new employee getting trained and his trainer was being really passive aggressive towards him. Just bad tea and bad vibes now. There are better tea places on the island, Taste Tea is not it anymore.

Taste Tea fronts Waialae Ave so you have to walk toward the front of the building. Being new to trying it, I asked the girl behind the counter what's good? I told her it was my first time. She said to look for the tea leafs to the side of the drink. Those are the drinks that are recommended. After looking at the menu I decided to get the brown sugar milk tea. She assured me that it was a good choice. I chose the large size and she asked me if I wanted any add ons and I went with coffee jelly. She told me to try the tapioca so I said ok. Next she asked me about my sweetness level. She told me 100% is really sweet so I took 50%. I wouldn't know how it compares to other places but I enjoyed it. They also sell Snow Ice which I think is shaved ice. There were a few claw machines and a few tables to sit there as well. I took pictures of the menus.

You could actually taste the tea, which I love, instead of it just being sugar overload. But the real star? The pudding. Super silky, lightly sweet, and way softer than I expected -- almost like a cross between custard and flan. It added this smooth, dessert-like vibe that made every sip feel extra indulgent. Texture combo was too -- creamy tea + soft pudding = dangerously easy to finish way too fast. If you're into milk tea but want something a little more filling and dessert-y, this is the move. Would 100% order again.

Hidden Gem!!! The…read moredrinks are very flavorful and have the right amount of creaminess! Whether something is made with 50%, it does not taste watered down and all the flavors are still present. I would recommend trying the drinks at 50% sweet first because it was already sweet enough. So the 100% sweetness would be for those who loves the sweetness level of a smoothie...but in your milk tea haha You can easily park at the FHB/Walgreens/Petco parking lot across the street and just walk right over. I would've never know to come here if not for my friends. The inside of the store has a nice atmosphere and it's very cozy. I wish the seating area had more tables because it would've been a perfect spot for studying and meeting up with friends. Friendly service and great music playlist. Will be back to try more drinks from their menu!

I got wintermelon milk tea and my partner got a taro ube smoothie. I get my favorite flavor so I…read moreloved it of course. My partner liked that it did have taro blended in there! It tasted it pretty good! Atmosphere - Cute shop! Maybe space for like 4 people to sit comfortably. Service - They're working hard back there! Cost - Probably around $7 for each drink.

I've been here on several occasions n' the Kuromitsu Kinako Milk has a good sweet n' syrupy flavor. Looks like it could be a coffee drink, but it is not in case you were hoping for a kick of caffeine. The Strawberry Matcha has a nice strawberry base with fresh fruit chunks. I just wish the matcha was stronger or there was more of it. I'm not sure if it's bc I order a 24oz instead of a 12oz n' the smaller size would've tasted more matcha-y? Majority of the drink you taste milk. The Strawberry Yogurt n' Strawberry Milk are great for keiki, which I ordered for my kids.

I've found a lot of Teapresso stores overcook their boba. For my taste, at least. Drink selection at Teapresso is impressive. My go to selections: lady grey, tropic osmanthus, teapresso MT, hojicha, and a peach lilikoi slush too. This one has a decent amount of seating inside and outside. The floor is quite sticky, though. Street parking is best, but there's a bunch of free parking in the area. The night I went, there was one female working by herself and 3 large parties that came in all at once and our wait time was unexpectedly short!
