Went there today and ordered a orange, strawberry, pineapple, and watermelon smoothie. I had heard so many great things about this place so I had to try it. To my surprise, they only take cash. Sadly I didn't have cash. I was getting ready to leave and the guy told me to pay on my next visit! My eyes lit up because I wanted the smoothie so badly. Amazing customer service and I will definitely be back! read more

I make better avacado smoothies. Service was sucky when we went. They pretty much took our order, made the smoothy and set it on the counter when they were done. Not even a thanks and come back when we left. BOOOOO! If you want a good avacado smoothie, make it yourself! 1/2 cup ice, 1/2 avacado, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of condensed milk and regular milk. read more

I LOVE this place!!! I can visit here everyday....especially when watermelon is in season! They use only fresh fruits, not frozen and no powders, added sugar, or artificial sweeteners (unlike some other places). Nothing can beat a hot summer's day with a 24oz cup of blended watermelon and ice! I've also tried the pineapple and banana, banana and papaya...I still go back to my fave...WATERMELON!!! From the office it's a nice walk to the store, enough to build up a thirst for a watermelon icee....I try to savor the drink all the way back to the office, not trying to finish it all before I get back (which is pretty darn hard to do!). If you're ever in a mood for a healthy drink on a hot summer's day...I recommend you go to Summer Frappe near Maunakea St., plus their prices are great too! P.S. Shucks I should have taken a picture of my watermelon drink...but I drank it all already :( read more

Stumbled upon this place after getting some half moon at Char Hung Sut and I'm so happy I did. This place hit the spot after walking in a complete block almost to the exact spot that we were parked (u can't always rely on google maps). I feel like I'm a smoothie, frozen drink master. With my nutri bullet I whip up all sorts of drinks for my girls after school but man has this place got me beat. I ordered the first thing that caught my attention passion fruit and pineapple but I wish I had slowed down a little and gave the menu board some thought first. I live in Hawaii and I've never been anywhere where they offer such a vast variety of tropical fruit flavors. They had everything. Salted calamansi/lemonade. Soursop and Durian smoothies. The flavors were endless and the smoothies were great. They also offered milk/bubble teas and different sandwich options if you're hungry. Haven't had a chance to try them yet but when I go back I will. I already want to go back. This place is so good and so affordable I highly recommend everyone try it. Don't let China town scare you away. It's full of little gems like this one that will keep you wanting more. read more

I have found my new favorite bubble drink place in downtown/chinatown. Tied with Bee's for my favorite place on the island, but definitely my #1 in the area. It's a little different from Bee's though, so I can't really say one is better than the other. I can walk here from my office, and get a manapua from Char Hung Sut a couple doors down! Pineapple! The best fruit ever created. I will always get pineapple blended with some other fruit. Strawberry (my fave), mango, orange, kiwi, it doesn't matter. Aunty can blend just about any combo of fruits & it is always delicious! Good consistency going on with the pearls, big cups and VERY reasonable prices! read more

I *LOVE* this place! They have a huge variety of fresh fruit shakes and will make any conceivable combination you can think of :) So much happiness. The best part is the little pictures so you do not have to communicate beyond specifying the number, since the lady who makes your shake has pretty decent accent. We also got some tapioca pudding dessert (mine was taro) and it was sweet and coconutty and probably better for breakfast than spam musubi. We tried to get those Vietnamese sandwiches too but they'd run out of ingredients, so what can you do? BTW, don't forget to run across the street and get an incredible lei at the lady at the corner shop. read more

This is my new favorite bubble tea place on the island! I won't bore you with the details so I'll just say... FRESH FRUIT, PERFECTLY soft tapioca balls, and cleaner than your typical China Town eatery... My fave so far is the avocado papaya smoothie. Mmm Mmm good. read more

It's a walk to get here from the office, but it's worth it. People are nice. I always get the strawberries and banana, with pearls and milk, and no sugar. I try to mix it up occasionally, but I still go back to strawberries and banana. And sometimes, it's all i get for lunch.. If the line is long, expect to not be out of there quickly, especially if there is only one person behind the counter. read more

This business helps me get my daily servings of fruits! By making each drink fresh from the assortment of fruits on display, one knows that the smoothies are made from real fruit. The only minus is the boba/tapioca balls. Not as flavorful so just stick to the fruit smoothies. read more

My sisters and I come here every week when we're home from college. I LOVE everything about this store! Summer and her family are always so sweet to us and the boba is fabulous every time. I just need them to have a store up in San Francisco! read more

Everything is fresh as can be! I got a strawberry mango with tapioca. Most smoothies range from 3.50-5.00. I believe everything is one size. It was so freshing and tastey! Don't forget to bring cash cause they don't take card!! read more

Wow! The mango is out of this world delicious! I got mine with pineapple jellies which really paired well. I watched them put lots of fresh mango into the blender - it's so good!! read more

You walk in and the auntie who owns the shop/works every day is in cutting fresh fruit. That's legit AF. Flavors are delicious all of them. Never too sweet and the flavor of the smoothies are always refreshing. Even the avocado one. Sandwiches are great snacks here. Good ratio of bread to filling. But the smoothies are great and the prices even better. read more

Summer Frappe has the best FRESH-FRUIT smoothie on the island by far! Different from other stores who offer bubble drinks made out of powder, this store makes a refreshing blend of fresh fruits at $3 - 4 dollars per smoothie. Anything with strawberry tastes good..I usually order the strawberry lychee smoothie. This family-fun shop also provides great customer service! I'm very happy and satisifed with this store that I don't intend to go anywhere else. read more

They use fresh fruit for their smoothies. Open on Sundays too. But the best drink. Ever. Is the Salted Lemon. Perfect for hangovers after partying it up on Saturday night. The only downside is there are Lemon seeds but it just means they use real preserved lemons. Sweet, sour, ice cold hydration. read more

Honestly, why go to the touristy and blah Asian blended-fruit drink shops in the Maunakea Market area, instead of this place, I don't know? This place is SO MUCH BETTER. The fruit is real and constitutes the primary taste within these drinks, not milk or sugar or water. The range of drink blends is creative and also culturally serving, with offerings like pennywort, durian, etc. My fave is the watermelon which tastes like the actual fruit; and my husband who's had avocado smoothies in most Vietnamese venues in town thinks theirs is among the best. He also had their Vietnamese iced coffee: perfect blend of bitter French-inflected chicory-ish Viet cafe, plus condensed milk. CASH ONLY, but the aunties here are so very nice, friendly, and quick-serving, plus there's a few seats and tables, if you want to hang out as you sip sip the coolness in the jackhammer Honolulu late summer heat. read more

as a part of my never ending quest to find the best avocado smoothie in hawaii, i had to give summer frappe a visit. well, that and i was dying for something refreshing in the midst of the chinese new year's celebration. they have an array of fresh exotic fruit smoothies. i really wanted the durian one but i chose the avocado since i was really curious to find out if it would be decent. it was really good even though i didn't see any cream/milk used. props to them for pumping out yummy smoothies even when the line was crazy long. the size of the smoothies are HUGE and it will only set you back $4.00 tops. amazing. lucky me for living so close to summer frappe so will definitely be back! read more

Great place for fresh fruit smoothie and frozen drinks. Just took a stroll around Chinatown with the family and this was the only place we found that uses fresh ingredients vs. powder. read more

Despite the slow service I like this joint. I didn't want an artificial extra sugary drunk. Rather I wanted just real fruit. The lady said she'll make it however I want. Awesome. Mango kiwi pianola frappe smoothie was bomb. Large maybe 22 oz cup filled all the way to the top of the dome cover. $5 is good price and felt good about sharing with my daughter. read more

Great service! The lady was sooo nice & helpful! we got 3 smoothies, but without pearls because they were still cooking. Taro milk tea, watermelon & pineapple/kiwi/mango. yum! all made with fresh fruit & tasted great! Can't wait to go back! my friend told me to try their salted preserved calamansi. whoa! read more

FYI: Summer Frappe will be temporarily closed starting nov 13. Will reopen on De 12th.

Best fresh fruit smoothies here on the island! Well like any place in Chinatown it's a hole in the wall place and they only take cash. I always order the Pina Colada my absolute fave but if you want something fruity and citrus I would suggest the #15 Mango, Kiwi, Pineapple! read more

Was in Chinatown getting my phone fixed and was recommended to come here for their awesome fruit smoothies. The menu was extensive, but the pictures helped a lot! It was nearly impoosible to decide! I finally settled on a watermelon smoothie and wow was it refreshing! I'm not sure why I haven't had this before! Sure beats the mess of a real watermelon! Perfect for a hot day! read more

Was hanging out in Chinatown with a couple of friends and was so thirsty! Stumbled upon this place and it hit the spot! They have a HUGE selection, everything is made fresh and the produce used is on display for you to see for yourself. Their prices were very affordable, the drink was delicious and healthy and the lady working behind the counter was super nice and friendly! I will be back. read more

I love this place for the fact that they use REAL fruit in their drinks. We always order Honey Dew because it's my daughter's favorite. The watermelon is also wonderful and refreshing! Its a small hole in the wall place but you can get almost any drink imaginable and the price is very reasonable! Down side is parking is really bad. There are times I have to circle the block a few times, just for street parking. read more

Kinda ran into this place by accident while looking for another place to get a boba drink. So glad we found this establishment. So impressed with the freshness and quality of the "aunty's" fruit drinks. So grateful to find a place that uses quality ingredients and doesn't try to cut corners. Love the ambience of the mom and pop store feel right smack dang in the middle of the concrete jungle. The selection is outrageous and did I mention the freshness and quality? I also feel that I get my money's worth at this place...lots of product for the price! read more

All of their fruit drinks are made with real fresh fruit. I cool down quickly with their watermelon drink, which I order "less sweet." It's basically fresh watermelon and ice. It's amazingly refreshing and you can taste the fresh fruit. No fake smoothie taste. They have about 10 Vitamix machines, so the fruit and ice gets nicely blended. If you are not in the mood for a smoothie, you can a container of pre-cut fruit for a rock bottom price of $4. read more

Love this place. The smoothies are always fresh and delicious. There's an extensive picture menu of the smoothies they offer. I think they are priced pretty fair for what you get. One day I will be more adventurous and choose a flavor more out of the ordinary, like those lemons sitting in their window! read more

We go here for the strawberry and papaya bubble tea, sooo good! As well as the taro coconut bubble tea.

YUM! That's all I can say! Summer Frappe provides you with freshest fruit smoothies and it's absolutely delicious(: I frequent the Chinatown area and I prefer this place over any other drink place. Either Summer or her son is working behind the counter and both are very friendly. Expect your drink to taste exactly what you ordered,as in no syrup! I have gotten the strawberry/kiwi,pineapple,and lychee. All of them were very refreshing! I advise you to save room in your tummy for these drinks because they come in only one size,which is ENORMOUS. If you can name any fruit it's probably on the menu. Seriously, some of them I've never even heard of! What is a Chico? Hahahaaha love this place! read more

Watermelon juice... I came back here specifically on our last day to get another one of these. Made from fresh fruit and perfectly cold and sweet. (The last time I recall getting such good watermelon juice was back in HK.) The stuff back home is usually kind of bland... just not sweet enough for me I guess. The hubby tried the papaya smoothie and really enjoyed it too. I tried a sip but went right back to mine... read more

The lady who works here is really nice. This is a no frills boba joint. However, it stands out for a few reasons. 1) They use real fruit. 2) They give a lot of boba. 3) They use a dome lid which makes the drinks larger than at other boba places (like Hangs). I was very happy with my experience and would return. read more

A friend recommended this spot for smoothies on my recent visit to Honolulu. Their jackfruit smoothie was incredible!!!

I was walking by and decided to give it a try. Nice lady and very clean store. I was surprised by the size of the drinks (large) and surprised that she actually used fresh fruit for the smoothies. We had three drinks all very good and a great value at $3. I'm definitely going back for more! read more

Love this place! Got the triple color dessert and it was so sweet and delicious. Can't really say much else, but I'll be back to check out the other fruit freezes! read more

HUGE HUGE HUGE drinks! And I mean HUGE! I really was not expecting it to be so large. I ordered the milk tea with boba and the mr. ordered the milk green tea with boba. Both were delicious! I almost wish we ordered some of the fruit smoothies because all of the fruit looked so fresh! Would definitely come here again although it is a little out of the way, and Chinatown is pretty barren. read more

My sister and I were walking around and just happened upon this place. Given I'm a tapioca addict, I had to get a hit. I wanted something refreshing so I got the watermelon. OMG. They use only fresh fruit. The tapioca was nice and chewy. Super friendly owner too. Will definitely come back. read more

Great prices on fresh fruit smoothies with or without mochi pearls. Cold, refreshing, and tasty. They have fruit stockpiled in the refrigerators, both whole and sliced for take out. #15 is my fav read more

Favorite smoothie ever, went there practically everyday! Miss it sooo much! My fav is the coconut smoothie, rich, creamy and I believe they use fresh coconuts. Love the green stringy Michu like bits you can add to your drink! read more
