Went to the Kailua Fall Festival and tried this place out for the very 1st time! 10/10 would recommend it was amazing!!! I got the acai snowthie and my other half got the strawberry man snowthie, both were pretty good but we did like the Acai Snowthie better. They were extremely fast, we got our drinks 1 minute after ordering them!
You must check out this cool truck!! The vibe of Milky Way Hawaii Ice certainly blends perfectly in the vibrant Pow Wow filled SALT neighborhood as it's cute colorfully bug-eyed characters immediately captures your attention and draws you in. It did start in Kaka'ako right along Mother Waldron park though now they seem to branch out into downtown because I asked about their randomness as I came on Thursday but they weren't there yet on this Tuesday they were as it's usually Downton I guess though since it was a Federal Holiday (July 4th) most business were closed so they decided to park in the usual which I lucked out on! Follow them on Instagram @milky_way_hawaii as they do have private functions as well so it does change but seems like in Kaka'ako it's Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays unless specified. They do have such fun and yummy drinks though this was after a long day at work all I wanted was some tea and I know they have my favorite Wintermelon so it was just that plain and simple but so convenient and very much appreciated as the gentleman is always so nice and friendly. The next time I'll have something more bougie but today was just refresher...what's your favorite here!?! Thank you!
No line, lots of free parking, fast service. Friendly. Just what I needed on a hot day. Ordered the mango snowthie and the amber brown milk. Both were delicious. Fresh mango. Definitely mix before drinking.
Walking around downtown wanting something sweetish and stumbled upon this truck parked on Bishop Street across from the Pacific Guardian Center. I didn't want something that was too heavy so I decided on the Agar green tea. Definitely happy with my choice. Just the amount of sweetness. It was truly refreshing to enjoy on my walk back to work. Personally, I pay extra attention to the service provided by a business and he was so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back to support this local small business.
They are parked at mother waldron park near dosjefes taco truck! Just tried their Medium amber milky boba and they don't charge tax if you pay cash so it was $5. Boba was nice and soft and sweet, milk tea was yum. I should have gotten the shave ice milk tea boba but I really just wanted a liquid drink lol. Will Def try a smoothie or the shave ice drinks next time I am in the area.
Owner of the truck is nice! My fave signature milk tea with boba! Convenient location in Kalaako
I've been eyeing this place out for a while now especially after passing the drink truck multiple times. And finally, I got the chance to check it out after work with a friend! It's located on the street next to Mother Waldron Neighborhood Park and close to Fisher's Hawaii on Pokhukaina St. Theres street parking all around and won't be a problem to find unless an event happens nearby. I was stuck between choosing the mango snowthie and the taro snowthie as both of them seemed delicious. But I was feeling for a not-so-sweet option that day. I asked the worker (owner?) and chose the taro snowthie. And this was actually a great decision because the drink wasn't too sweet, really creamy, and really really delicious! I enjoyed it a lot! Strong taro flavor (not the artificial kind either) and was really thick as it was a snowthie (believe it's snow ice mixed in as a drink) compared to a regular smoothie. My friend got the Amber Boba Milky Tea which wasn't too sweet (she'd rather have it sweeter) and the boba was really soft and chewy. This is a drink truck but it has quality drinks. The next time I come, I definitely want to try the mango snowthie (or maybe I'll stick with the taro one)!
Nice spot with some slightly different offerings than your typical boba spot! I'd say that the snowthies are more like desserts...so plan accordingly. My mom actually went here on my recommendation, and I got raving texts from her...in fact, we went back two more days in a row. The favorites were the taro snowthie and the mango snowthie, which are the featured fruit layered with a snow combination. I actually found that mixing the two together was the key to getting a really good flavor combination, as you need the sweetness from the shaved milky ice to add to the fruit/taro. The boba milk tea is dairy free, so your vegan friends have options too. I have to be in the mood for this place, which is why I didn't give a full five stars, but they have quality refreshments that are different than what your standard boba shop provides. Stop by and take in the SALT art! It's a great way to kill a little time.
Tucked away on the streets of kakaako, I never would have known about this place if it wasn't for my friend who is a milk tea connoisseur. There is ample street parking all over so it wouldn't be hard to find a spot to grab a quick drink. The mango snowthie was tasty and tasted like a mango milk. They put some kind of mango juice/ syrup and shave milk into the cup. You stir the whole drink when you're ready to drink and it mixes the mango and "snow" together to make a delicious blended mango medley. The man working was very nice and polite and attentive to us. He explained the menu to us when we had questions. The three of us ended up getting the mango snowthie because of his suggestion. Would definitely come back again when I'm in the area!
We got a call from my BIL, the kids were missing their cousins and wanted a play date. We agreed to meet in Kakaako. It had been raining off and on all day, but it got considerably warmer as the afternoon progressed. My BIL graciously treated us all with some delicious cold refreshments from Milky Way, a cute and colorful food truck parked at the corner of Mother Waldron park at the corner of Pohukaina and Cooke Streets. What is a Snowthie? Before today, I never even knew such a thing existed! It is a fruit smoothie with ice cream snow on top. The strawberry was the first one I tried... yummy and refreshing on a hot day for sure. But then I tried the mango... wow o wow! I looove Mango so much, and its usually reserved as a summertime treat for me, so imagine my surprise at how fresh and flavorful this mango snowthie was... there are even the fibers of the fresh mango blended in there! This has become my summer in a cup go to! If you're in Kakaako and see the truck, I highly recommend stopping and picking up a treat. I hope to return again soon to try some of their other treats!
Alright friends...when it's a hot day in Hawaii (which is like every day!), look no further for THE drink to refresh you from the heat. Milky Way Hawaii Ice is located in Kakaako on Pohukaina Street just off of Cooke Street. You can't miss their adorable colorful truck. They have milk teas, slush, teas, shave ice, and what I came for...snowthies! The name 'snowthie' (I mean, how cute is that name?) is what caught my attention, but the delightfully sweet and refreshing drink is what will keep me coming back. A snowthie is like a smoothie, ice cream, and shaved ice came together to create the most magical drink in the universe. Maybe that's where the name Milky Way came from because these wonderful things we have come to know and love banded together to create this haze of enjoyment that you get engulfed in until the last sip. I tried the Strawberry Man, which I highly recommend! It's a combination of the strawberry snowthie and mango snowthie. They pair so well together! It's topped with shaved cream (a hybrid of ice cream and shaved ice) to give it that IG worthy look. The workers will tell you to take your picture first and then mix it all together before drinking. I have to admit...that shaved cream took me by surprise. It looks fluffy like snow, but when you dig into it you'll find that it's much firmer (like ice cream almost) than you'd think. But yes, follow their instructions and be sure to mix it all together before drinking to achieve the true experience.
Refreshing beverages in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii... The first time I saw this truck parked on Pohukaina Street, near Cooke Street, I thought, "What a colorful and cute design! Let's check it out!" To my surprise, the service was really kind and helpful. The young man helped me select dairy-free beverages and packed them neatly "to go". He told all customers, "God bless you" and was welcoming and polite to everyone. I told myself that I would return some day... That day finally arrived... it was a hot August morning and I got metered street parking on Pohukaina Street. It's near Fisher Hawaii and H Mart, in front of Mother Waldron Park. In the past, I ordered the Vitamin C Cup (with fresh fruits) and Tapioca Milk Tea. Both were flavorful and not too sweet. This time, I got the Grass Jelly Milk Tea - yummy! It felt healthy and gave me some hydration and energy! The nice young man came out from the truck to empty some trash and take a short break. I asked him where he was from... Taiwan! Ah! Nice place! I told him that I lived there for 6 weeks when I was a student... lol! ...A very long time ago! We had a nice chat... and maybe will have more in the near future! Best wishes to this cool small business! If you're in the area, please support local!
I initially wanted to try this place because of the aesthetic of their adorable truck parked next to Mother Waldron Park in Kaka'ako and their insta-worthy colorful drinks. Little did I know that their Amber Boba Golden Milk (M size, $5.50) would become my new favorite brown sugar boba milk! I've always been a huge fan of It's Tea's OBS Milk because it was so creamy, and this drink is now tied for first on my list! The milk itself is super rich, and the brown sugar flavor rips through that creamy milk flavor and bursts inside your mouth without being overly sweet. The boba is also insanely super soft and chewy, and I love that they top it with the snow ice, because it gives it a change of texture depending on which part you drink haha. I can't stress how amazed I was with my drink. I also got to try the Mango Snowthie (regular, $5) and because I drank it when we were all impatient and the snow ice didn't completely soften yet, it was a little tough to drink. The mango flavor was definitely super strong and refreshing. the Grass Jelly Milky Tea ($4.50) is a dairy-free milk tea that has crushed grass jelly floating on the top! It tasted like the canned Ito-En milk teas - just a little on the sweet side and not a suuuuper strong tea flavor, but still good! The grass jelly wasn't as soft as other places, and stayed at the top instead of floating to the bottom, making it hard to drink. Overall it was a good drink but we'd probably pass on this one the next time. Luckily, we were the only ones at the truck when we ordered, and within the 4-6 minutes of waiting for our drinks, a line of like 6 people formed!
I'm rarely in Kalihi, but whenever I'm in the area or spot the Milky Way truck at an event, I always stop by! Everything on the menu is delicious, and I especially appreciate their dairy-free milk teas since my stomach is sensitive to dairy. Their strawberry mango snowthie is perfection. I'm still not sure what a snowthie is, but it's kinda like a shave ice only 10 times better! The texture is amazing, and the flavors taste fresh rather than powdery. Everything is light, refreshing, and so good! read more

This spot has been on my radar for quite a while. I knew them from various markets that they attend along with their brick and mortar location in Kalihi. They were at the semi annual Honolulu Night Market in Kaka'ako so I finally took up the opportunity to try them out. I got the real taro smoothie, emphasis on REAL (i hate fake, powdered taro). I had the option of grass jelly or boba and I asked for a mix of both. The drink was delicious, creamy and thick. It was a bit pricey ($9) but minimal compared to some of the other prices out here. I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to visit their brick and mortar but they'll def be my go to drink option at a market. read more

Was out and about for a walk and found Milk Way Hawaii Ice truck parked at Mother Waldron Park. The truck caught my eye with the artwork and I had to see what it was! This was the perfect find after walking around Kakaako. I decided to try the Milk Tea with Grass Jelly ($4.50). I really liked it and highly recommend checking them out. A huge MAHALO to Milky Way Hawaii Ice for operating during this pandemic. read more

SNOW-THIE. Snow like ice cream and smoothie mix in one cup! it was amazing! I can't tell you how good that combination is! My friend recommended it to me after we had brunch and it was delicious! I brought my husband back the same week to try. It is a food truck that started about a year ago, according to the owner. It was mix with ice cream and either strawberry or mango smoothie. Located by SALT, it is a small food truck right next to a park. Lots of parking and food service was quick. Workers are friendly. I recommend anyone who is caving this combination. it was a perfect sweet. It wasn't too sweet or water. If only I live closer I would definitely come back often. Lol. Small menu, but worth trying everything! :P read more

We hardly come on this side & when we did yesterday i had to stop by. Seeing this all over my ig from my friends posting i had to try it out myself. Not sure if his truck is parked only by the park or if he travels to other locations. PARKING: only find street parking on that road but its not too busy. When we went i had my fiance pull to the side. SERVICE: The line wasnt that bad & had trees to stand under while waiting. But its pretty fast even for only that 1 guy working. When it was our turn i asked him whats the most popular drinks everyone orders & he told me the STRAWBERRY SNOWTHIE, MANGO SNOWTHIE & MILK TEA SHAVE ICE. So i ended getting the mango snowthie & my daughter got the milk tea shave ice. For the snowthie says we have to mix it before we drink it. We loved both that we got. Can't wait to go back & try something different. Definitely need to try this place out if you havent. read more
All of the snow ice and drinks look amazing! What caught my eye walking by was a man getting the pineapple dessert which had this fluffy heavenly look white snow ice with pineapple scooped balls and other goodies in it. He made it looked so good I had to stop by and try something. As soon as I was ordering a line already formed of about 5 people, this place is really popular, and for good reason! I got the grass jelly milk tea that's made with oolong tea. The tea flavor was really present and didn't just taste like sugary milk! I think for next time I'd get the sweetness adjusted to be a little less sweet but the overall taste was super yummy! It's also dairy free, (which getting older anything lactose free is better haha). Everyone looks so excited and happy to get their sweet fix at this truck and I'm so happy I tried it out! Definitely will be back :) read more

We drove to Kakaako just to try this boba truck out. Lol. Been wanting to for awhile... There was one guy working, he made our drinks really fast. I got the strawberry man, which is a mix of strawberry and mango. I forgot to add boba...fail. It is topped with bingsu (frozen cream or milk). The drink was very pretty and very delicious (happy face emoji). My bf got the amber boba milky tea. The cup was walled with brown sugar, comes with brown sugar boba, and it said hashtag dairy free...so idk what type of milk was used. Nonetheless, my bf liked it, I thought it was pretty good myself (thumbs up emoji). read more

We were at the beach all day and wanted a refreshing drink ! We remembered this truck was in the area and decided to check it out ! Everything on the menu looked amazing !!! It honestly was so hard to decide between a boba and a snowthie. Ended up getting the strawberry man snowthie and it did not disappoint! Definitely refreshing and super delicious. It has real fruit chunks of strawberry and mango inside plus the snow ice. I will have to come back for the boba cause his truck says it's the #1 boba haha! He was a super nice friendly dude, very accommodating and made the drinks super fast and they were really pretty looking. The menu signs are great cause they have descriptions of dairy and non dairy, also to take picture of it before you mix it lol. I will 1000000% return! read more
Second Snowthie from this food truck: Milky Way Hawaii Ice. They are usually parked alongside Mother Waldron Park in Kakaako. On this occasion, I tried their Strawberry Snowthie...creamy and not too sweet. After paying, the person who made it recommended that I stir the Snowthie well before consuming. My first drink was an Acai Snowthie - at the Keep It Kaimuki small business Saturday festivities- and that was also good...can't go wrong with anything Acai. read more
Seen this very colorful truck on my way back to the office. Decide to try it, since it was a hot day!! Very friendly owner and some very yummy combo drinks! Went with one of their popular drinks! Price is about the same with other place and very quick service!! Actually enjoyed it and will be stopping by again to try other flavors, especially with this HOT weather!! read more

Jan 2023 FYI.... They are no longer parked in kakaako due to the road closures. I've heard they're parked downtown on bishop, but just to be sure you can always hit up their shop on king street in Kalihi. Unless you're a tourist, get the taro with grass jelly!! You'll be glad you did. Pineapple, red bean and boba milk tea are really good too. read more

I'm all about trying new places, especially ones with 5 stars, however, I'm also all about awesome customer service, greeting your customers, and acknowledging their presence. This is a personal experience, yours may be different. We decided to try this place out. Already thinking it's cute from the truck outside, and wall decor. Walked in to the the establishment, no line, I approached the counter waiting while two employees tended to an order they were preparing. A customer walks in and proceeds to talk to the employee and then cut in front of me to pay for her order. Wow! I was confused, what was going on. I personally thought that was rude. If she preordered, like any other establishment, she'll have to get in line to pay for her order, but no! I made a remark about it, and she turned around and said, "I'm sorry, I had a big order". Ok, this would have been fine, if the employee (s) took the time to acknowledge me and simply say, " Ma'am, I will be with you, let me take care of this customer". Nothing! Pretty much, this is an absolute turn off for me in any establishment. Period! Milk tea with jelly: customers should be asked what sweet level they like, this was super sweet. I can barely taste the milk/tea, as the sweetness was way too much. Milk tea snow ice: good, but a little on the sweet side too. read more
WOW!! Highly recommended! A mix of a drink and this shaved milk. When you drink it, it tastes thick like ice cream. The brown sugar tapioca is on point. The mango tastes real and fresh! $6 for a large snowthie, add $0.50 for tapioca. Worth it! We already drank through ours and I'm so tempted to turn around and get another one! This is a food truck, located at Mother Waldron park. I believe they have standard hours they are there. read more
Yay, we have a drink & frozen shaved ice (fruit/milk) food truck in Kakaako! Perfect location for the workers and even the tourists who often come by to view the beautiful painted art work wall murals on Pohukaina St. The hours are Monday thru Saturday from 10am - Sunset (about 6pm ) on Pohukaina St and Coral Street between Fisher Hawaii and Mother Waldron's Park. Andy, the owner was really friendly and nice and he's offering 20% off for his grand opening. There's also a deal until this Friday 07/12/19.... With any purchase, you can purchase the Milky Way Lemon aiyu tea for a $1.00! Wow what a deal plus he also gave me additional 20% off since it's still grand opening! Street parking only on both sides of the street and you can't miss it because it's a new colorful/bright truck! He offers a Strawberry shave ice (ice of fruit and milk) in a paper bowl and Pineapple one in served right in the bottom of a frozen pineapple bowl! The frozen pineapple bowl really made a difference in keeping my the shaved treat from melting so fast. He offers 6 items... 2 frozen treats and 4 drinks. Next time, I want to try the milky mango drink. He has a taro and boba drink too. Wondering how I was going to manage carrying the pineapple shaved treat and lemon drink to my car, he was so nice to suggest and offer to carry my drink to my car so I can start enjoying my shaved treat. Such great service! The Lemon tea had 4 slices of lemon (just about a whole lemon) with some aiyu jelly inside. The drink was a nice complement to my frozen treat. The pineapple shaved (pineapple/milk) ice was so light and refreshing topped with frozen pineapple balls. It's not shaved ice with pineapple syrup but shaved ice made from fruit mixed with milk. Note, he created the yelp business page under Milky Way Shave Ice although his food truck is named Milky Way Hawaii Ice! I will definite be a repeat customer, since it's so near to my work place! Wishing Andy well in his new business, because he's such a sweet guy with sweet treats! He's at this location almost every day so please stop by when you're in town! read more
With all the hullabaloo about boba drinks around town, it's really hard to pick which is my favorite. I lied. Milky Way Hawaii Ice is my favorite. I think I not only like it because every drink I've had there is so delish. But, because it's just simple. You order from their pictures and what you see is what you get. Honestly, no offense to any of the other boba shops in town where you pick your tea, your sweetness level, what add-ins you want. etc., etc... Milky Way Hawaii Ice literally shows you (in photos) exactly what you will be getting and, best of all, it's cheap! I find that when I go to other shops (which are good, don't get me wrong), when you add in more and more stuff, the price can really skyrocket and next thing you know, you are drinking a $7+ drink out of a tiny cup filled with ice and all the fix-ins. At Milky Way Hawaii Ice, I don't think I've spent over $5.50 for a medium sized drink. Affordable, right?! If you didn't know, Milky Way Hawaii Ice is a food truck...well, drink truck, I guess haha. It's parked at Mother Waldron Park along Pohukaina Street right where Cooke Street and Pohukaina meet. You can't miss it...it's a bright, colorful truck. I believe they are open daily (except Sundays) until 5:30pm. Parking is super easy on the street near the truck or just be a passenger and jump out while your friends/family circle around or double-park. I LOVE their snowthies (mango and strawberry are yummm...don't forget to shake it up AFTER you take your token Yelp photos) and I also love their Amber Boba Milk Tea. Don't ask me if I've tried anything else because I haven't...you know how you love something, you stick with it because you risk not loving the new thing you try? Totally me. See you at the truck!

Delicious slushies on this hot & humid Saturday evening, at the Kakaako Night Market. Mango & Taro Slushies were thick, rich and creamy. Definitely delicious and refreshing. Prices: S - $6.00 L - $7.00 read more

Honestly enjoyed my drink way more than I thought I would! Asked around and everyone enjoyed theirs too. My work place mass ordered drinks for us. I got the mango smoothie and hoped that it wouldn't be melted and liquidly by then. Pick up was at 2 PM and I came in at 5 PM. It was left in the refrigerator and I was very impressed + excited that it was still thick and icy! Including pictures of the snow still on the top!! It was a refreshing and sweet treat to have, glad I got to finally try this establishment. Mango flavor is very present and consistency was great! read more

I work a few blocks away and wanted to sample this eye catching boba truck in Kakaako. I tried the Taro Snowthie which was really interesting to me..it was like a snowcap in a smoothie with taro milk and grass jelly. The texture was different and it had minimal sweetness. I would return to try other drinks on the menu. The worker was really nice and the prices are pretty reasonable considering the other boba/dessert places in the area are more expensive. read more
A local recommended I get the red bean here and he did not disappoint. This was amazing! Fresh ingredients and a nice drink to walk around with while viewing the art district around this area. Also recommend the gummies they sell at the bottom. Different but super good. read more
I was thinking long and hard if I wanted to go against the grain in a sea of 5 star reviews, but I think this place is a solid 3.5 stars. Not bad, but it's not my go to favorite either. They're a food truck located in kakaako (behind fishers) and parked next to a park. There's a lot of street/metered parking available and I think it was $3/hr. My coins barely got me anything but I was quick! They have a pretty small menu and I decided to try the strawberry smoothie on a hot summers day. While it was good, it was also dehydrating for me to drink. I wish I had some water too with it. The pricing isn't all that bad and they do take credit cards too. Not sure if I'll be back since it's a little out of my way and the hours only work for me if I'm off work. read more
