    Affordable for waikiki and 16 oz
    Andrea M.

    Mini monster cafe is located in the Royal Hawaiian food court. I had this place saved for a while and in my quest to find my favorite matcha I wanted to give it a try. I got the 16 oz lavender matcha, it was just the right amount of sweetness for me (a lot of matchas are too bitter for me) and the lavender was subtle and not overpowering. I also thought $6.50 is a very good price for 16 oz in Waikiki. My daughter got the taro milk tea with boba and it was very good, not too milky maybe too sweet for some but exactly the level I like. They weren't busy when I arrived but it did take about 2 minutes for someone to come and take my order, it's because the person making the drinks was also taking orders. Service was straightforward. Ambiance is a food court, I recommend going to get a dessert at kulu kulu to go with your drink. They are famous for their Thai tea and I want to come back to try that.

    Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba
    Generous Y.

    Solid boba spot in a prime location. Just towards the left of the food court after taking the escalators to the second floor. They also have cute glass cups for $6 extra which isn't too bad given the tourist location. Pretty average cost for boba shop bottles. Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - they lessen the sweetness by adding cold brew apparently which is interesting. boba had a decent chew but could use better marination for flavor. Jasmine tea was present through a calm, floral taste.

    This food court gem is great! I got the sunset strawberry lemonade and it was fantastic! I like my teas and lemonades and this place did not disappoint. It wasn't too busy but I can't say much because it's located in Waikiki and in a food court which is just a recipe for craziness! However overall the service was quick and fantastic,. If you're in the food court craving a quick drink you should stop by here!

    We ordered the lilikoi tea in a jar and it was delicious, definitely refreshing, staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Coconut matcha is one of my favorite drinks. Coconut water with a light matcha foam on top. Mini whips up the foam fresh and I requested no sugar, which they complied. This is absolutely delicious and thirst quenching. Their whole menu looks inventive and I would love to try some other drinks. Great service. It's located in the food court. Casual Please come and create your own experience.

    Sunrise Lilikoi Tea
    Angel H.

    Some Yelpers posted about this cute bear jar and I just had to get one. Mini Monster Cafe is at the food court at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. They have locations in California and Vietnam. They sell coffees, teas, milk teas, fruit drinks and matcha drinks. The hubby and I decided to share a drink because I wanted to get the bear jar and it's huge. We decided on the Sunrise Lilikoi Tea with lychee jelly. It was so good and refreshing. We got it at 100% sweetness and it was perfect for me. It was a little sweet at first, but when the ice melted it got diluted. The cashier asked if we wanted lilikoi seeds in the drink, but we declined. The drink was $5.95 plus $0.85 for the lychee jelly. The bear jar was another $6. The total was $12.80 before tax. You can bring the bear jar back and pay the price of the 24oz. drink. We will be back to try the other drinks. The Thai Tea is next on my list.

    Taro smoothie and Mac nut latte
    Aimy N.

    Super sweet hardworking bobarista! Mac nut latte is a lil sweeter. I do like the macadamia cream. The taro smoothie is not too sweet. Light and good! Their pins, charms and stickers are cute!

    Mac Nut Latte
    Hesperian C.

    Located in the food court of the Royal Hawaiian Center. This place quenched my need for a caffeine fix. Service was quick and helpful. Not sure what to get, I ordered the Mac nut latte at their suggestion. It is currently an exclusively unique drink at their Hawaii location. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    taro slush with boba
    Angela H.

    Cute boba shop located in the food court of Royal Hawaiian Center. The food court itself is pretty clean, just usually quite busy given large amounts of tourists, but plenty of seating is available. I got the taro slush with boba at 25% sweetness in the glass jar, and it came out promptly! Service was ok, it was pretty fast! I thought the drink itself was good overall, I liked the taro flavor but it was too sweet for me despite the sugar adjustment. The boba also was a little off for my taste (unsure how to describe it) but overall it was still chewy and sweet. I thought the glass jar was super cute as well. Prices are a bit steep, but that's to be expected since it's in Waikiki. I'd def be interested in coming back to try their matcha drinks and other items on the menu!

    I was craving boba while vacationing in Waikiki and found Mini Monster Cafe. I took off one star because you were not able to adjust the sugar or sweetness level in their drinks. Everything is premade. I ended up ordering the honey milk tea with boba. It was very tasty but a little too sweet for my liking but the boba was nice and chewy. All in all it did satisfy my boba craving.

    I'm visiting and I've been to the location in LA before. I saw they had a location here and wanted to try because it's been a while. I came into the food court and saw they had lavender matcha. The matcha was very good and the lavender wasn't too overpowering. They also had super cute stickers and pins at the front which I really liked! The service was really great and she was very quick with my drink!

    Sunset Strawberry Lemonade
    Morgan S.

    Sunset Strawberry Lemonade When I saw this place on Insta, I knew I had to make time to check it out. Easy parking, no line & open seating in the food court were already setting the scene for a good morning. When we arrived, Rena is the kind soul that took our order. We had the sunset strawberry lemonade and the matcha coconut cloud with cotton candy clouds. They're fun and more importantly, they're delicious! We will be back!

So I ordered a Classic Milk Tea regular sweet. After I received my drink I was curious as to what kind of black tea they used for the classic milk tea. I asked and the person working at the register at the time just looked at me and said, "I have no idea" and walked away... Anyways, the milk tea is drinkable although, after sipping at my drink for awhile it kind of coats your tongue with a heavy cream flavor? It wasn't pleasant and the tea flavor doesn't linger. Also regular sweet is way too sweet, so I recommend doing 50% or even 25% sweet as a normal sweet. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back.

This spot is a walk-up…read morecounter only with no seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go situation rather than a place to hang out. I ordered the mango sago, which was honestly underwhelming. The mango flavor tasted either artificial or extremely diluted. The color was very pale--I could barely see that signature yellow/orange mango hue--and the mango flavor itself was almost nonexistent. The coconut base and sago pearls were fine and pretty standard, but nothing memorable or exciting enough to make me want to order it again. My husband got the fresh watermelon smoothie. You could tell the watermelon itself was fresh, which we appreciated, but the drink was very watered down due to too much ice. After just one gulp, it felt like it turned into mostly ice with very little juice left. He did like that it came standard with coconut jelly, which added a nice texture and sweetness. Overall, the drinks were okay but lacked strong, fresh fruit flavor, especially for the price and expectations. If they reduced the ice and intensified the fruit base, these drinks could be much better. Probably wouldn't rush back, but could be a quick stop if you're already at Ala Moana and craving something light and cold.

The smoothie was a little bland, but at the same time, had a tad too much honey. Service was wonderful. We would visit again.
