Cheese Tea is a cute little boba shop on the busy street of Kapiolani! I would sometimes come to Cheese Tea after grabbing lunch at Gyu-kaku a couple doors down. As the name suggests, they were one of the first to introduce cheese foam cap to Oahu. So far, I've tried the following two drinks: 1) Brown Sugar Milk Tea: very creamy with a strong tea flavor. I like this one a lot! 2) Cheese Brulee Milk Tea: My favorite drink here so far! The milk tea compliments their signature cheese cap very well. Since the last time I came, I think they have added new special drinks to their menu. I would love to try them next time! read more

We went to check out Cheese tea a few weeks ago. It was a little difficult to find as it's located right on Kapiolani Blvd. The parking entrance for Cheese Tea is is on the street on the back of the building. Parking isn't the best there. There isn't a lot of spaces and it's hard to maneuver if you want to get out. We got lucky because someone was leaving as we were turning around to get out. Cheese Tea is a kind of small place but it looked cozy. There are a few tables to sit at but we were just doing take out. I had my sister and daughter with me. We looked at the menu beforehand and we were set on getting the strawberry smoothie. But then I asked him about it and he said it had green tea in it. Not exactly the best thing to be giving a child right before nap time... so we got something else. It was called Messy Strawberry. It was okay. It just kind of tasted like strawberry milk. My daughter seemed to like it but she drinks whole milk daily. The container they gave you for the drink was nice. My daughter didn't want to throw it away so now she's using it for a bank. Overall though, if I go here again, I'd try something different. They do have Five Stars so you can collect points and earn free stuff if you come here a lot. read more

03/14/22 My first time coming here and thanks to @Nadine C. Or I wouldn't have known about it. T My messy mango with cheese foam and bursting rainbow boba had been the hit of my day. If your a mom, Aunty, or grandma that has that little girl in your family or friends... this place - yes this place with the setting and or whatever seating one finds is the most adorable in setting more happy joy in your already cute kiddo you bring with you. There are board games here too! Cushion pillows with whimsy prints. The appliqué wall designs, and how about the drink coasters (which also can be bought / there are some in plastic packaging ready to buy) I love that there is crushing boba on the menu as an added topping and that there is two flavors. I'm trying to recall the flavors but I got mixed crushing boba in my messy mango drink. Crushing boba is offered at Jamba Juice but at tea locations is somewhat rare! Oh I'll be coming back for sure! read more

Had a deal on the Five Stars app for a discount on a drink, so I wanted to try this place out. Parking is free for the first 10 min so I ran downstairs to get my drink and get out! Since I don't like tea, I tried the Messy Blueberry which pretty much tasted like blueberry puree mixed with milk. It was good, but nothing amazing. I might have to come back to try other flavors since the menu is quite extensive! read more

Cuteness overload...every nook and cranny here is covered in adorable decor that takes you into Asian wonderland. As you walk in you see selected spaced out tables and to the right a wall with some of their drinks pictured like the real art you're about to experience. Ooohh how we decide with our eyes like a Yelp post the decision was not easy. I am a more fruitier lover and immediately spotted a few but was drawn to the Snow Sakura Latte, powered Sakura added to milk was a delightful delicate flavor that absolutely not too sweet...what a elegant drink that I wouldn't have tried if it wasn't for that pic. I actually took it to the beach to enjoy this gorgeous Sunday breezy afternoon which was perfect and so relaxing I could get used to it...thank you!! read more

Finally was able to visit Cheese Tea on my last trip to Oahu a few weeks ago and I am SO happy we stopped by despite being ridiculously full from a big dinner. Cheese Tea is a cute little shop located on Kapiolani Blvd that features a variety of Hong Kong style milk teas, fruit teas, desserts, & pastries; where you have the option of adding this amazing, fluffy CHEESE CAP that's made with cream cheese. Hence the name, CHEESE Tea. Now let me tell you, I was a bit skeptical at first and unsure of how a cheese cap would taste with milk tea, but what the hey. I'm always down to try something new. Being that I love sweet potato, I went with the Purple Romance. I really wasn't sure about sweet potato and cheese flavors mixing together, but the guy behind the counter reassured me and all be damned, he was right. One sip and I was in heaven! That cheese cap is legit legit and complimented the sweet potato so well. Mind blown. I kind of regretted not getting a bigger size! I tasted my husband's Cheese Brulee drink as well and that was a pretty solid choice too. The cup they serve their drinks in is also really cute and sturdy enough to be reusable :) I would highly recommend a stop here when in town. The shop itself is small, but super cute and modern with a handful of tables to accommodate guests that want to sit and enjoy their drinks. Cats adorn the walls and the decor which the kiddos really enjoyed. They liked playing a few of the games that are available for guests as well. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Cheese Tea is one of the best boba shops on the island! Parking is a bit inconvenient because you need to find street parking, but the hassle is worth their drinks. The interior is covered in cat decals and decor, but it fits the vibe of the brand! I ordered the creamy cake boba by mistake. I thought it would be a regular milk tea with creamy cake as a topping, but it really did taste like cake. It was pleasant but definitely a bit too sweet for me. However, the milk tea itself was good and I can appreciate a good milk tea despite the sweetness level. I also got popping boba because I didn't want a super heavy drink, and I thought the boba was really good! I don't usually have anything to say about popping boba because they've all tasted the same to me, but I could tell Cheese Tea's was different. The juice/syrup that came out of each pearl was much creamier and denser. The taste also stayed on your tongue longer. I really wish I had more time to go to Cheese Tea again and try their actual boba and other teas, but I'll keep it in the back of my head if I ever visit Hawaii again. Support local businesses and give Cheese Tea a try! read more

Whenever I'm around the area and craving some cheese foam, the first place I would think of is Cheese Tea. Their cheese foam never disappoints and their cups are soooo cute. It's located on the same side as Gyukaku on Kapiolani, across of INspiration. There's a parking structure but needs validation and after 5/6pm, you can street park right in front of the store. From the outside, the spot actually looks relatively small. However, when you enter the store, there are multiple seating areas that can fit about 10-15 customers if they decide to talk or study. The interior decor is absolutely adorable! They have a lot of cat coasters, wall stickers, plushies, and they're just adorable! I love taking pictures of my drink with the coasters whenever I visit (and I've come many times). The drink I love to order is their 104 Uji Matcha with cheese foam (I know the order number because I order it so much LOL) or their Plant Oreo Matcha with cheese foam. Their matcha drinks actually bring out the essence of the true tea bitterness which I like rather than a weirdly sweet flavor where you can't even taste the matcha flavor. The addition of the saltiness from the cheese foam brings the matcha flavor out a little more, balancing sweet, salty and bitter altogether. On days when I want a sweeter drink, I get the Plant Oreo Matcha. The addition of the oreo brings out a sweeter sensation with the salty and bitter and basically acts as a topping. I feel like Cheese Tea is a bit underrated and needs a bit more love and attention. Their style is more tea taste than creamy in comparison to other boba places, which we don't have much of. read more

I was a little worried by the name "Cheese Tea". I had images of Parmesan and Gorgonzola in my head when I ordered my first drink. Rest assured, the slightly salty, whipped cream cheese foam is nothing to worry about. Like other desserts that benefit from a touch of salt to balance the sweet, the cheese foam turns good into great. Explore the menu. Whether it's brown sugar, matcha, strawberry or oreo--they're all good and insta-worthy. And if you wait until after 6pm, you can find free parking on Kapiolani. If you love Hong Kong-style drinks, you have to try it! read more

Continuing my quest for satisfying, refreshing and delicious tea drinks, during a particularly long, work day from home, I turned to Yelp and my fellow Yelpers did not disappoint with their recommendations of Cheese Tea near Ala Moana at 1221 Kapiolani. I couldn't interrupt my remote workday and didn't feel like dealing with any parking issue, so thanks to Davis at Door Dash he delivered the goods to me. But let me back up a bit. As I'm sure all of you boba tea connoisseurs are well aware, it can be overwhelming to navigate around a menu of a place you're visiting for the first time. And being that I wasn't even officially in the store nor in front of their menu, I just called them and described what I wanted, which to be honest was anything closely resembling The Alley's ultra luxurious Strawberry Lulu which comes at an equally ultra price of $7.99. A friendly person answered the phone at Cheese Tea and after my description, she recommended I order the "Strawberry smoothie with extra cheese cap". It was $5.00 (one size) plus $1.25 for the cheese cap. I also asked about the sweetness which is customizable. She recommended to get the normal sweetness because of the cheese cap which I imagined would temper the sweetness with its creamy saltiness... In about 20 minutes my Dasher arrived with drink in hand and I was so excited to see it look exactly what I envisioned and more. First the cup is nice and tall with a darling Cheese Tea cat logo and the cup quality is of a heavy plastic that won't cause the condensation to wear it down. It's a nice, frosty reusable cup. The top is covered with a cover with straw hole and a drink hole covered with a little plastic heart. I don't take this for granted especially on drinks with cheese caps because with foil tops, the cheese or tea can ooze through the broken foil and also a lot of the cheese tends to adhere to the bottom of the foil so I admit, sometimes to enjoy it I have to peel the whole foil off which is not fun when I'm driving and I don't want to get my hands sticky and dirty. So, the plastic cover ony Cheese Tea cup is very thoughtful because it can easily be lifted so I can enjoy the thick cheese remaining under the cover and on the sides of my cup. Yum! The drink was absolutely delicious, and the cheese is just about the best I've had here on the island. It is thick, with just the right amount of cream cheese, milk, salt, and sugar. It takes a long time to sink to the bottom which meant the drink was in perfect form when it arrived to me in a little carry bag, boba straw and napkin. The next day I ordered the Mango smoothie ($5.25) blended with tea & ice with cheese cap ($1.25), 75% sweetness. This is simply smooth and delicious as well with bits of real mango. Wow. What lovely afternoon pick-me-ups so I can put in more work hours from home tonight! The message at bottom of the cup said "We love to see you smile" -- I hope you can tell this experience made me do just that. read more

I wanted some boba tea and found this place so we decided to try it out. It had the cutest interior!!! They had many different drinks to choose from. I ended up with the mango smoothie topped with cheese foam. I thought it was pretty good but a little too much ice mixed in. It wasn't that sweet which I like. My husband's drink, the brown sugar milk tea on the other hand had the option to use tea or milk, so he chose milk and was quite disappointed because it didn't taste like anything but milk. I tasted it too and it did taste like straight up milk. Employees were nice. I will be back to try a different drink. read more

Drinking a liquid cheesecake in Honolulu... Cheese foam (also known as cheese caps) are somewhat different. They are a layer of sweet, creamy cheese on the top of a milk tea, a smoothie, or a plain tea. Some people sip the layer of cheese foam with their beverage to taste both flavors at the same time. They tip their cup at a 45 degree angle and drink both liquids simultaneously. I prefer to mix my cheese foam into my beverage for a more consistent drink. I first encountered cheese foam in Los Angeles. Later, when I went to Las Vegas, I found cheese caps there, too! It takes a while for these novelty foods to come to Hawaii. That's okay...we will find them! Cheese Tea is one of the few shops in Honolulu that serve cheese foam. It's located on Kapiolani Boulevard, near The Original Pancake House and Gyu-Kaku. I was lucky and got street parking - it's free after 6:30pm. The second time, I parked in the structure that's attached to the building. Just enter the driveway right after shop. It's free on Sundays. On my first visit, I had a watermelon smoothie and a White Peach oolong tea - both drinks had cheese caps...yum! I could tell that real watermelon was used because of the pulpy texture and small bits of watermelon seeds! During my second visit, Angel wanted the free iPhone case that came with a $40 purchase. It was supposed to be one transaction, but they let us combine our orders! We used the Yelp check-in offer of 10 percent off and we got Stamp Cards! Wow! They know how to give incentives! The service is extra friendly and patient! The decor is so cute with its cat theme! Everything is Instagram worthy and of high quality! So, I'm more than halfway to a free drink...yay! I've had the fruit tea (with real lilikoi in it), the oreo matcha plant drink, and the brown sugar matcha beverage... what should I get next? read more

I've been slacking and behind on my reviews. I needed to get this up so I don't forget to thank Nadine C. for helping me get my free phone case. If you buy 6 drinks from here and spend $40 at one time, you get to choose a free phone case. Nadine ended up buying 4 drinks, and I ended up buying 3 to qualify for the free Mickey Mouse phone case that I wanted. Thank you Auntie! We bought a variety of drinks. I can't remember them all. I got the milk tea with boba and cheese cap. I really like the cheese cap. It makes the drink creamier with a hint of saltiness. My other drinks were the watermelon slush and brown sugar milk tea. One of Nadine's drinks was the plant milk tea. It's really cute. It looks like a plant growing on top of the tea. It's a milk tea with crushed Oreo's on the top. Don't forget to get a stamp card and if you check in on Yelp there's a 10% discount. read more

With all the boba options around Ala Moana, choices can get so overwhelming. But if you're looking for some unique, quality drinks, check out Cheese Tea! From refreshing fruit teas, to creamy ice-blended drinks, you'll definitely find a favorite. I ordered the First Love. It had freshly-puréed papaya layered with coconut milk, and topped off with diced strawberries. It's usually topped off with dragon fruit, but some drinks are altered/unavailable depending on the season. This wasn't something I'd normally order at a boba shop, but it's now one of my favorites! The drink reminded me of mango sticky rice, but in drink form. My other foodie friends ordered the Fun Fun Green Tea, Messy Strawberry, OBC Matcha (Oreo-Boba-Cheese), Strawberry Yakult, and the Plant Oreo Matcha. Cheese Tea is also known for their cheese foam topping, so I have to come back and try that! Parking can be a little difficult if you come around peak times, but they will validate your ticket for the parking garage (+FREE on Sundays). You can also park on the street or at Ala Moana if you don't mind the walk. Hope you get to visit soon! If you're not in town, Cheese Tea also has another location in Waipahu! read more

When I first spotted Cheese Tea on Instagram, I genuinely thought to myself that the world had gone crazy. Why would anyone want to put cheese foam onto a drink? But as I saw more and more of these pictures, I started getting curious, and decided to try it. The inside of the store is super cute, like you'd just walked into a store in Japan or Korea or Taiwan. There were so many options, but we got the Messy Peach, which was a seasonal drink option for $6.25 (+$1 for upgrading it to a large). My friend and I agreed that this was unlike any other milk tea we've had before. It was super creamy and tasted like a light peach ice cream you'd get in a Japanese cafe. The cheese foam was definitely super interesting, in the best way possible. Don't forget to show your Student ID for 10% off! Or if you're not a student, check-in on Yelp for 10% off! read more

OMG! If you want refreshing milk tea and yummy chewy boba then CHEESE TEA IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! This was my first time ordering from Cheese Tea and let me just say WOW! My taste buds are satisfied!!!! I got a large strawberry milk tea with less ice, 100% sweetness and boba! When I took the first sip, I got hooked and couldn't stop drinking it! The boba is really fresh and chewy!!! I love it! The flavor of the strawberry milk tastes so good and reminds me of the strawberry milk from Korea! (Brought back good memories) I will for sure order from here again and try more new flavors! The cup was so cute as well that in the back it said "We love to see you smile" TOTALLY MADE ME SMILE AND MADE MY DAY! I rate it a 10/10 !!!!!! :) read more

An interesting pair, cheese and tea. Kind of like it :) LOCATION: Blackfield building, near Subway. INTERIOR/AMBIANCE: The cutest! Bright, clean and welcoming. Cat-themed with the cutest cat coasters and cat.. everything lol. DRINKS: Ordered the Uji Matcha drink, which was essentially green tea with a light (cream) cheese cap topped with a sprinkle of matcha powder. Believe the instructions were to eat the cheese first (the boy spoke a bit too quickly), so ate most of the cheese then drank the tea, and allowed the remaining cheese to somewhat blend in with the tea. The cheese cap was somewhat thicker than necessary and I can't say I enjoyed eating most of it before drinking the tea. However, the little cheese left that gradually mixed in with the tea gave it a unique flavor. The matcha flavor of the tea itself was present, but not striking. SERVICE: All the workers were so pleasant! The drink was made quickly as well. OVERALL: I loved the ambiance and would love to return just for the cuteness. As the brown sugar drinks seem popular, I'd want to return to try those. Also think I intended to order one of the matcha boba drinks and mistakenly ordered the uji matcha, but the uji matcha was still cool and refreshing. read more

Summer has arrived and we're still in a pandemic. Good thing a lot of boba tea shops have partnered up with delivery apps such as Doordash and Uber Eats to get their food or drinks delivered. Lately, it's been so hot that I ordered cold drinks to cool off. Anyway, I used Doordash yesterday and got the Large Messy Strawberry with Strawberry Popping Boba and the Large O.B.C Temptation which came with Boba, Cheese Foam, and Oreo cookie crumbs. The packaging was cute with two plastic boba straws, napkins, and cute teal colored heart shaped lid caps. I'll review the O.B.C Temptation first. This is the first time I have tried a cheese foam/cap.. It was THICK! I've read online that to get the best experience for cheese foam boba tea you have to to gently tilt the cup so that BOTH the tea and the foam get to you at the same time. I tried to do that so many times and it kinda worked. I finished my drink halfway before swirling the cup until everything blended in. When I took another sip, it tastes like an amazing tea flavored cheesecake. It was really good and I liked the Oreo bits. However, I am unsure what the tea base really is (like is it regular tea with milk or...?). Oh well...I would get this again because it was an interesting and refreshing drink during this hot summer weather. Onto the Messy Strawberry with Strawberry Popping Boba. The popping boba was an interesting experience. For the first time, I was hit with a sweet strawberry syrup for each boba pop. However, I got to be honest, the flavors were a combination of getting hit hard with blended strawberries or not getting any flavoring at all and just drinking regular milk. The drink got better towards the end though. Overall, if I order again in the future, I think I will stick to the tea flavored boba drinks for now. read more

Cheese in tea?! Not too sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. After seeing pictures and hearing about this cheesy rage, my friends and I decided to check it out. Location is in the same building as Gyu-Kaku on Kapiolani, across from Stage. First of all the cafe is extremely cute with their cat theme. Yup you read that right! There's cat decals everywhere, cat pillows, and even cat shaped coasters. Way too cute! There's multiple tables and chairs for seating and even a bar area for those who want to study. There are no bathrooms inside this location however you can ask for a key for the bathroom in the building. Menu consists of different types of teas, smoothies, boba drinks, desserts, and more. After reading Lyla's review, we all decided to try their watermelon smoothie w/ cheese. Drink prices range from $4-$7 depending on what you get and add ons. Our drink before tax is $5.75, so it's a bit pricier compared to your usual boba drink place. Despite the Cafe being quite empty it did take a while for the drinks to be served. I honestly think it's because of the cheese and it being fluffed onto your drink but it's okay. When we got our drinks, we were stoked because it came in a cute reusable container. We tried it first with the straw and then taking Lyla's advice to sip it from the lid. So how was it? It was def an experience... the most simple way I can describe it is a fresh watermelon juice w/ a fluffy salty cream cheese topping. It was salty, cool, creamy, and sweet. I think it would have been better if it weren't as salty... We couldn't really drink the cheese by itself so we had to mix it with the juice. By the time we almost got to the bottom I couldn't drink anymore because it was only cheese left. It was too salty to consume for me by itself. Kind of wishing that I tried the strawberry instead though because watermelon and cream can be a little strange. Honestly it was just okay however I'm glad I was able to give it a try. My friend who loves cheese absolutely loved it. So if you're a cheese person then you would probably like it! read more

I really really wanted to like this place but the last 4 times I went were all kind of let downs to me. The drinks were not up to my standards. I have tried: Brown Sugar Milk w/ Boba: I had high expectations because of Hong Kong's Brown Sugar Milk and this was just alright to me. I probably wouldn't have minded it much but the boba....that was truly a let down. It didn't taste fresh and it could barely go up the straw! You literally had to suck the life out of the straw to even get a piece of the boba... Cheese Watermelon/Cheese Black Grape: It was okay; the cheese foam still had clumps in it and the fruit smoothie was really watery Messy Watermelon: This was kind of disappointing; all it really tasted like was watermelon mixed with milk -- $6 for that?? The only drink I actually enjoyed was my friend's Passion Yakult; it was on the sweeter side but it was a lot better than any of the other drinks I had read more

I was very excited when they opened up a tea place dedicated for their cheese milk tea. I love my milk tea with foamy cheese on top. The menu had a variety of drinks and all drinks can add cheese cap. So I ordered the four season tea with cheese on top. When we got it the lady told us do not mix the drink. She told us to just drink it the way it is. I thought that was very odd. Usually I can use a straw and stir my tea and cheese. So I tried it the way she told us. I don't know if it's the cheese was made or the tea but it tasted really weird. The cheese topping was quite thick. Very different from the cheese milk tea I order at Friend's Cafe. Did I order the wrong drink??? Maybe it's not my day. I was quite disappointed. I think I'll have to come back again and try the actual cheese milk tea? Maybe it'll give me a better taste. read more

They are slightly more expensive than other milk tea places and don't have add-ins (ie lychee jelly, mini boba, etc.) as others do. But the cups are super cute and I love the whole idea.

Cheese in your tea? As of as it sounds it is very creamy and surprisingly good. The best I can explain it as whipped cream is to your frappe is cheese to your tea. They don't mix so when you drink it from a straw you will get mostly tea. If you open the lot and drink from the opening you will get a mix of the creamy cheese and tea. I agree it's odd but a fun mixture in your mouth. read more

So I've been seeing cheese tea everywhere and was so curious! It definitely sounds bad until they describe it, and everyone says it's amazing! So I just had to go and see for myself. The place is so cute with cats all over the walls and the decor is just so cute. They lady was so nice and explained what her most popular items were. She also said the cheese cap is like liquefied cheesecake. She even showed us how to mix and drink it when she brought the cup over. These cups are very sturdy. I wanted something plain so I could really understand what the cheese foam cap was about. She said the brown sugar milk tea was the most popular so we got that. If you try just the cheese, it's kind of salty and not so great, but mixed in, it seems to make the tea very creamy. The boba was very good and chewy, not too soft. There are a lot of other flavors and combinations, like adding Oreo on top or getting a smoothie or lots of other things. I would definitely go again to try other items on the menu. However, for just milk tea, I would stop by some other places more often because this one could get expensive. But it's a great extra treat! read more

Per Yelp reviews, I wanted to try the cream cheese with milk tea because it is something different. Per employee, milk tea has condensed milk but not creamer or milk. My order was plant milk tea that was layered with oreo sprinkle, crea cheese, and milk tea. I drank up the milk tea so by time I finished it the oreo and cream cheese was on the bottom. I should have mixed the cream cheese as other Yelp people did. I was talking to a lady and asked her what she ordered here. She tried most of the drinks and eemed to like this place because it is a good place to study. It is not crowded like some Starbucks. They no longer have any happy hours prices as mentioned by previous Yelp people. read more

This boba shop is really cute and they use fresh fruits in their drink! Their shop is a little inconvenient because of the parking situation. They do validate parking but the rates are a little high. I'd suggest coming after 630p when the street parking opens up. That way you don't have to be rushing in and out of the garage. The set up is super cute and so are the cups! I decided to keep my cup since it looks like you could probably reuse it several times. The prices for a boba drink is about 5$, more if you add on the foam and toppings. I've honestly never had the foam before and they graciously offered a sample. We asked what the most popular drink was and they said it was the mango or strawberry drink. We got one of each and it was really refreshing. read more

I've been wanting to try this place as a self declared boba addict. Located right next to Gyu-Kaku on kapiolani. Unsure on the parking situation as I walked but I did see some signage by the register that they give 50% off on your parking fees when you are a customer there (I think). Cafe itself is adorable, loved the cat decor, furniture, even the coasters . Pretty extensive drink menu and plenty of customization options. Wanted to try the cheese teas since it's their namesake. Opted for the creme brûlée and matcha Oreo plant. I was not disappointed, so delicious!! I've had other cheese foam milk teas but none as prominently cheesy as these. Would definitely come back for another matcha Oreo plant, yum!! Just wish it were in a more convenient location. read more

I ordered the plant Oreo matcha drink (which already comes w the cheese (basically cream cheese)) for $6 in total (including tax). The boba had a great chewy texture (not mushy or not undercooked).

I would also recommend it as a hangout place, but so much of a study place since it's a little cramped. read more

To be fair...my last review was 4 stars simply because I haven't tried many tea/boba places. Coming back to this location after trying the cheese topping at other locations I feel this place deserves 5 stars. The cheese topping is really the only thing I like.
