My first time with anthuccino and really did not know what it was aside from... "the best coffee milkshake" from their print ad. The drink was delicious and not sweet, but I t hiink I expected too much after reading their print ad, and I was unable to get that pinch in my palate to consider it the "best".

Hana on the left, Le Perouse on the right

The Hana and the Le Perouse acai bowls are to die for!! Stopped here twice for breakfast on our trip... best acai bowls on the island! A must stop on your way up to Hana :)

They have a good amount of drink options to choose from! And they also carry Poppin Sweets By Lei's poptarts, which are super good! It's a bit hard to get to them parking wise but would def recommend if you have the chance to go to Paia! - Miguel Morales Photography

Fruity Pebbles pop tart

Who knew a boba bar would have coffee? This one in Paia certainly does, and more! After finishing up a run in the Paia area on a Saturday morning, I saw this establishment that was one of the few open bright and early at 7am. The interior had a lot of cute decorations, as well as cute desserts. I opted for their "Valentine's Day Special" rose latte and a fruity pebbles pop tart for dessert. I was able to take both and consume them on the way back to my Airbnb. The latte was essentially warm milk sweetened with rose-flavored syrup, but it was still delicious! The fruity pebbles pop tart was a supreme favorite of mine----the crust was light, crisp, and flaky while still having a substantial amount of fruity filling. The young lady at the counter was very helpful and motivated, especially on a Saturday morning!

Stopped in to fuel up for the Road to Hana drive. Solid spot with good coffee even though I was skeptical with it being a boba place. Authentic Hawaiian vibes and service with aloha.

Got to try one of their specialty drinks at the matcha and boba fest!!!

Who doesn't love boba??!?!?! My son is a total boba lover so you know we love this place. Maui is definitely lacking in the boba department and the only complaint I have about this place is that it's TOO FAR! Well, not really, but I would really rather they be in my neck of the woods! Not only do they have the yummiest drinks, but they have food items and little local kine gifts! So when you're buying a delicious drink (matcha anything is my fave), you can also get a cute sugar cookie or banana bread or whatever else they have available that day! AND you can get someone a gift too! Perfect place to get a gift card and some other local goodies. Service is great here, Malia is my favorite boba barista and also makes some delicious whip cream!!! Perfect place to stop by on your way to Hana since they open early and you can get yourself a yummy drink and a pastry to tide you over for the drive. Sip and support local!

Updated with pictures!! Took 8+ months, but I was finally able to download my pics from the "cloud". 5/28/22 *See SF Japantown Yelp - pictures to be uploaded if I can recover. Quality/Quantity - This is a milk tea boba bar, so if you like milk tea, this is a place for you. The Popping boba was a hit for my daughter, but not my preference. They had lilikoi and lychee flavors. Also got some fancy expensive boba cookies, see picture. The cookies taste like normal sugar cookies, very sweet. While the design is very beautiful, I personally do not think it is worth $6. My daughter did not know the price since they did not have a sign and was shocked. Atmosphere - Small new local boba bar, the newest talk of Paia. Service - Good, was nice and threw in a regular boba or two into her drink at no extra charge, thank you. See picture. Price - The drink was approximately $7 and the cookies were $6 each + tax. Owner Comment - Congrats on your new opening, approximately 3 months ago. Do you have posted hours? Or did we miss that? You guys were closed the first day we tried to come.

Came to paia fish market, but it wasn't open yet, decided to stop here and get a fresh matcha latte with boba. It was good, the woman working the site was alone but she was handling business! The baked goods looked good but since I was going to eat I decided to not get one haha.

Aye! They got my coffee ;)

Boba, Espresso, Lavender Milk Tea, and hold up... homemade pop tarts!? We caught this spot on the road to Hana and luckily didn't have any wait. Chill atmosphere and great eats and coffee. And you get boba tea here too! My kids loved it and while you wait you can appreciate the music and get to know this spot. Anthony's coffee used to be located around the corner and now is on Baldwin. Love Paia and this gem!

I was so excited when I randomly stumbled across their Instagram page one day. They had been open for just a few weeks, so their hours were changing almost daily as they were testing the waters of when to open & close. I love boba & with Maui's lack of, I made the trip from Kihei just to try it. I'm not sure if there's a sign now, but at the time there wasn't so you could easily miss it if you aren't looking. A cute shop to which they also sell little snacks & treats. I went with the brown sugar milk tea with boba as that's one of my favorites. It was ready pretty quickly. I believe everything comes iced, so if blended is your thing, you won't find that here. The sides were lined with syrup, which I thought was neat & the sweetness level was just right. Boba also had the right amount chew. Overall, I thought it was good. Wasn't anything too special. Definitely need to come back & try some of the treats & other drinks. Support local & keep these guys around.

Butterfly pea flower with lychee tea

I'm visiting and found this place while walking back to the parking lot. I saw the reviews and was hesitant to come in. The weather is unbelievably hot and anything to cool me down would be great. I got the butterfly pea flower with lychee tea. Now if you have boba/tea often, this drink seems like there is no tea in it at all. But I still enjoyed it! It's light, not too sweet, pretty color and definitely a help in this heat. I haven't tried their milk tea so I can't comment on it. There's street parking and parking lot nearby. They also accept credit cards.

The Boba Bar just opened up in Paia right next door to Paia Fish Market. The building has been freshly renovated and painted a nice dark blue. Inside is a small space with no indoor seating and best fit for a quick grab and go type of thing. You'll find some random snacks, candy, drinks, and a freezer of ice cream. On the menu they have coffees which can be made hot or iced and of course there's milk tea with the option to add boba and other toppings. There's a good amount of flavors to choose from and toppings are an extra charge. There's also a "build your own menu" but I don't usually like to go that route on first visits. We got the brown sugar milk tea with boba, honey milk tea with boba, and the strawberry milk tea with lilikoi popping for our son. Our drinks came up pretty quickly. I did not see many photos of their boba or drinks prior to this visit, so wasn't quite sure what to expect. Their milk tea/boba all turned out to be iced. I prefer my boba to be blended. Out of all the drinks, I liked mine (the brown sugar) the best. They lined the sides with syrup and the boba had a nice chew to them and was not overly sweet. My husband's tasted like straight honey water and kind of fell flat. Our son enjoyed his drink and loved the popping balls which are always fun for the little ones. Overall, I was expecting to be a bit more wowed. I understand they've just opened, so I think it'll take a few more tries until I find 'my drink.' Perhaps coffee on my next visit? Until then, I'd still say check them out and support a new local business in the community!

The kid got a brown sugar boba milk (20oz) and I got a Thai tea (16oz). All drinks come with boba. We requested 50% sweetness for both. Coming from Honolulu where we're spoilt for choice with a variety of bubble teas from and/or inspired by Taiwan, I was a little underwhelmed. IMO, the boba was unflavored and a touch mushy but the kid says his were sweet and chewy (?!) so he theorized my tea was sweet to begin with. On the other hand, he says the brown sugar syrup is not as intense as the ones he's had before. My Thai tea tasted Thai tea-ish. On hindsight I probably should have ordered the classic or Jasmine milk tea. (Also the Thai food truck next door offers Thai tea... ) Service was friendly and competent though. The young man rattled off their bestseller (avocado ice-blended), explained the difference between brown sugar milk tea and lava tea (lava tea is tea based), and what Milo dinosaur is. (I'm familiar with Milo dinosaur in Southeast Asia but am curious if it's the same here; sounds like it is). It's in a cute little compound with a few other "food trucks" and tented eating areas and a DJ? Parking is plentiful since it's basically at the edge of Maui Mall. We got there at around 3pm on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was relatively quiet. 3.5 stars for me.

Great Drinks, but the Customer Service is a Facade I've…read morevisited both of their locations and unfortunately received the same disappointing outcome both times. While the drinks taste great (even if the pricing could be better), the real issue is the owner's behavior. Do not be fooled by the fun, energetic, and polite image she displays on social media,it feels like a 100% facade. In person, she lacks basic customer service skills. There's no greeting, no "thank you," and not even a simple "we will be with you shortly." The wait times are very long, which happens, but to completely ignore customers while they wait is unacceptable. I originally wasn't going to leave a review, but after talking with my coworkers, I couldn't stay quiet. Almost all of them had similarly horrible experiences with the owner. It also brought up a concerning pattern regarding her social media, which exclusively highlights a specific "local" crowd and even brags about her local customer percentage. Although I am local, I don't look it. My coworkers who had terrible experiences are Filipino. The only coworker of ours who received great customer service fits the stereotypical "local" look. Coincidence? Based on our interactions, I highly doubt it.

It's a cute little stand just past the lobby on the right. easy to access whether you're staying at the resort or just stopping by. The menu is simple and straightforward, offering classic matcha drinks along with a few signature options. We tried the Honey Lavender and the Honey Cinnamon, and both were really good. The Honey Lavender stood out--it had a sweet, floral flavor that blended with the matcha in a way that oddly reminded me of Fruity Pebbles (in a good way!). The Honey Cinnamon was tasty too, though the cinnamon was a bit overpowering and took over most of the drink's flavor. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations, which made the experience even better. I'd definitely recommend anyone staying at the resort to give it a try and locals should stop by too if you're in the area and craving a solid matcha.

Instead I hit 'Paia Coffee and Bar' , this absolutely did the trick!! Very cool place with an infectious vibe and hip staff. It has a walk up coffee bar area right from the street & outside shaded seating which is difficult to find in this town anywhere. So I once again ordered a 12 ounce double shot whole milk latte and it was excellent.. second best rated cup of coffee I experienced in all of Maui . I can also see why on Google alone this place has 1.2 k reviews, It's really kind of a hybrid location as it serves coffee along with alcohol and food etc.. Give it a whirl, I'm definitely going to go back when I'm in town next.
