What I liked about the berry boost bowl is that goji berries brought a crunch and really made up for the granola that wasn't in there. Having chia pudding is way less calories than granola too! 6-7 is "happy hour" so you get $2 off signature bowls. It was great. That store is cute and simple. You can also play board games if you're hanging out. Love that they welcome that

Abundant variety available! Located in Ka Makana Ali'i on the Gen Korean / Papa John Pizza side…read more Small interior that has about four to five tables that can accommodate about four people each. No outdoor seating available. We went in knowing we wanted açaí bowls. They offer signature bowls for those who don't like having to decide on bases, toppings, drizzles, etc. Signature bowls come in two sizes: regular (16oz.) $13.99 and large (24 oz.) $15.99. Whatever bowls give you the freedom to decide on base - bonus base - fresh fruit - super foods - drizzle. These are priced the same but you decide what you do and do not want, which is nice. Mind you, they also offer: toasts, smoothies and drinks such as lemonade, iced blended coffee, matcha, and cold brews. Açaí bowl was a generous portion of base / bonus base / fruit. I appreciate how they chop their fruit into bite size pieces. Idk what it is but I like my fruit in my bowl to be bite size like small easy to eat and chew. Maybe it has to do with base/topping/fruit ratios!? Fruit was fresh too, which for this price point- I'd expect and they delivered. There are many options available which again, for this price point you'd expect, so it's nice to have. The only problem was they were out of Nutella. Like, why? My daughter went a week before writing this review and she said they were out of bananas. In my opinion, banana and Nutella are not items hard to keep in stock! We would visit again. Side note, Monday - Friday 6-7pm they offer $2 off signature bowls!

Ambiance- 4 stars Service- 3 stars…read moreFood/Beverage- 5 stars I was happy to hear that this location opened in the Waipahu area because I honestly don't know of other places that sell quality smoothies with fresh fruits with reasonable prices. This spot is located across from McDonald's on Leoku street. The parking situation is not stressful at all as I found a place to park immediately after turning into this center. Inside, you won't find anything spectacular. There is one table with 2-3 chairs and bar seating area. It didnt feel welcoming so I chose not to sit and enjoy my drink. I ordered the Mango smoothie with boba! I trust in my decision! The taste of the fresh fruits cannot be described and the boba was nice and soft to chew. This drink is nostalgic and brought back memories of when I was a little girl with a mango tree in her backyard. Will def be back again to try a different flavor

Two small tables, each seating two are available inside, with more outdoor seating. Yes, the prices. Believe it or not, this Teapresso's drinks are more inexpensive than the Ka Makana Ali'i location. Yup: pay with cash or your debit card to avoid the transaction fee! They also provide a 10% military discount! Parking is available along the street and around the corner at the festival street.

They have complimentary free wifi and cute little games to play no matter where you sit. From building blocks to jenga to class machines and digital games as well. They also sell stuffed animals and little snacks. They have a nice variety of drinks for their menu. You have to ask for non dairy options if you're lactose intolerant. Again my favorite is an Oreo drink even at this place lol. If asked nicely, they even let me rinse out my cup so I could collect and keep and take my cup home. In the end they were nice enough to just give me a new cup lol it was just too cute! I use it at home! It's got cute little panda ears and eyes.

Very thrilled to find this gem in the neighborhood. This…read moreshop meets all my need. It had all kinds of drinks including boba tea, smoothie, coffee, yogurt, fruit tea, milk shakes etc. it also has snacks and plushies. They also make plums and lihing . The place is huge, can sit and chat. Also has a lot of games to play with. The sound track is of those Chinese pop songs in the 90s. The service is quick and friendly.

The fruits and vegetables were so colorful and beautifully displayed, it immediately gave me the vibe that this place is for people who love themselves and want to take care of their body, which is a great sign to me. I also visited during Bretman Rock's smoothie launch, and it was such a fun experience! I did wait a long time in line. I arrived at 11 AM, and by the time we got to the front it was almost 1 PM, but it was worth it just to try the smoothies and soak in the experience of being in the same building as the coconut connoisseur himself. I highly recommend giving his smoothie a try!!!

The wrap with cream cheese, bacon and fresh veggies was perfect and light. The smoothie with fresh coconut cream walls was perfect after a run on the beach. Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

The granola is also pretty good. There is a faint fridge smell while I'm eating, but I try to overlook it because the sorbet itself is worth it. Their açaí bowl is solid too. That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.

This food truck is parked on the side of Geiger Park in Ewa. It serves iced or blended drinks…read more We just happened to be driving by and noticed the food truck. We decided to try it out! What to know: - they have a lot of boba milk tea flavors, including some unique specialty drinks like Fruity Pebbles! - The prices are about the same as any boba spot - they give you more!!! You know how some boba spots give serve their drinks on really tall and skinny cups, giving you the mind trick that you have more than what you actually have? Ya I hate that. Frenchie Boba uses 16 and 20 oz real cups! Which means you get more boba! - For a food truck, we didn't feel like we waited too long! They give fast service and pretty great quality drinks - The take credit card payments!! Yesss! So bring your plastic! They accept it! We've tried them a couple times and love their drink concoctions! The boba is also made perfect. If you are ever in the Ewa area, you may be see them parked on the side. It's a great place to go when you want a small snack while you enjoy the doggy park, basketball courts or playground at Geiger Park!

I went for a long jog in the Ewa Beach area with my fiancé and her sister. While returning from our…read morejog, we passed by Frenchie Boba's truck. I was really thirsty and didn't have my wallet, but when we looked at their sign, it said they accepted Apple Pay. Since they had Apple Pay, that made us stop so we can get some drinks. LOL you can say we balanced out our jog with the drinks. They have a lot of selection on their menu, but they were also out of a bunch of their items. They also have specialty drinks. You could get your drinks iced or blended, we ended up getting all our drinks blended. I was going to get their Ube drink, then I saw that they had White Rabbit so I immediately switched the drinks. My fiancé and her sister got the Honeydew and Chocolate drink. After ordering they do make your drinks so you wait for a couple minutes. We were overwhelmed with the amount of toppings they had so we just stuck to no boba for just this time (we'll be back). When we got our drinks, the White Rabbit flavor took me back to my childhood. They were spot on with the flavor and it tasted amazingly good. It was on the sweeter side. We enjoyed our drinks and ended up following their Instagram page. They are usually parked near the park so check them out.

Let me start by saying that despite the unacceptably hot space (broken AC?) for the employees to…read morehave to endure, let alone the customers, the employees were still great! They were welcoming and had a good attitude, were patient while I ordered, and made the drinks quickly (and they tasted great). This place has always been my go-to, but the consistent non-availability of flavors, the low quality straws (why do they crack so easily now? It's super frustrating and bear impossible to drink out of when they crack), and the heat inside the space is really pushing me to find a new boba place on this side.

Something is not right with the way they make their drinks…read more I recently ordered their matcha smoothie. It had an odd taste that didn't feel right. I love matcha and have had all sorts of matcha drinks and treats before. But this smoothie tasted as if there was something separate from the matcha, like a weird, bitter aftertaste. I sort of thought it tasted like soap. My brother drank half of my smoothie too. About half an hour after finishing the cup between ourselves, both he and I felt immensely nauseous. I have NEVER felt nauseous like that before when drinking any sort of smoothie, boba drink, or matcha. My brother said he felt like vomiting. Something bad was in that matcha smoothie. This wasn't the first occasion in which I've had poor experiences with the drinks from Infinitea at Kamakana. The drinks are inconsistently made. When I've ordered a drink on one day, and get it again the next day, it would taste completely different. That- or my stomach hurts oddly a lot after having their drinks.

Plenty of parking that shares wi th the Chinese restaurant next door and a dental office. The building itself shares a space with. Nail salon which I always thought interesting. There's a few seats inside and as of this year they sell a few Knick knack things and have books for kids as well as board games. This visit was rather strange though we walked in and no one was at the counter. No bell to ring. We said hello a few times and we were ready to walk out. But one of the ladies from the nail salon was sitting at the table in the corner and we asked if they were open. She alerted someone in the nail salon and she came out promptly. This time around we ordered the mango sticky rice and D2 had the lava flow. I was curious about the mango sticky rice, bc it's blowing up all over the place here at various other places so I had to give it a try. I thought it was something new. Turns out it's just like mango sago that I get on the mainland. It was good though and very satisfying. Blended fresh mango, coconut milk, and mini sago pearls. D2 wasn't sure how she felt about her lava flow though. She asked what a lava flow is supposed to be and I told her coconut and strawberry. When I saw her drink it was more yellow and possibly pineapple?! She said it definitely tasted like pineapple more-so than coconut. Oh well maybe their interpretation is different. She drank it anyway and said at least she's tried it. We've been so many times I've lost count. They have a rewards system by just typing in your phone number. We've tried so many things like li hing lemonade, passion fruit slushes, coffees with egg pudding. And everything is good.

Embracing what I love is tea and I've been fortunate to have traveled and know the various types of teas and enjoy it as it's purest ways which brings me to Teapresso Bar and this Kapolei location since I'm in the area is unique as it shares its space with nail/lash salon but is very separated and is nice that there lots of parking for a quick sip. One thing about here is you're able to customize your drink and it was the Hojicha no milk no topping and light 25% sweetness and that's it and this yummy and refreshing drink is perfect on this hot Sunday morning. The staff is okay but I do love the little trinkets and snacks they have to capture you but luckily my drink was made fast so that I had no time to browse but was sad that the heat sealer was between the graphic images so I had none to smile about as these little gesture do make a difference and hope it gets adjusted as it is part of the whole vibe.

This particular one doesn't offer indoor seating. In fact you can't order from a counter, you order from a window if not using the drive thru. Service was a little slow. It took awhile to get my order in. Priority seems to be the drive thru window. And then you wait, outside, in the sun for your drink. Lesson learned.......use the drive thru. Overall three stars. The menu is the same as everywhere else. And the people were nice. The issue I have was there were tables and seats but they needed to be wiped down.
