Meh meh meh ordered the pancake soufflé pancake and a tea. Yea tea was forgettable and the pancake was served chilled. Who likes cold pancakes? Not me. Total disappointment after so much anticipation. Thanks but no thanks. read more

A beautiful ambience and wide ranging menu! I was curious to try the cheese foam and wow! It did not disappoint! This would be a great place to try a new flavor, relax, and talk story with a friend. Friendly, efficient service as well. read more

I was surprised for how modern and cute this place is they don't currently offer alternative dairy options which was a bummer.

I personally like the lime tea or strawberry smoothies during these hot summer days. Sadly the interior is unavailable for use (per Covid-19), but it should one day be an ideal locations to relax or study. Store is clean, modern... and now has Gelato (not yet tried). Souffle pancakes are light and fluffy, personally I like the creme brulee or the original. One of the perks of this locations, it's close to many up & coming stores, eateries, a dog park and new residential developments... very dog friendly, so hoping to bring the dog to the neighborhood one day. There is also a small grass area between the store and H-Mart... though you may want to bring a blanket ... many dogs roam those grounds. On the plus side, parking is free for the 1st hour and only a dollar for the 2nd hour and it's an earshot from H-Mart. Also shares a parking structure with SALT. It'll be interesting to see this area in the future once tourism begins once more. read more

Soufflé and tea was amazing. The only downfall is parking. Definitely will be back for more! Can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

Sun Tea Mix - Strawberry soufflé and a brown sugar boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

OMG!! This boba tea shop is the BEST in town!! I'm addicted to smoogurt!! We came here 2 days in a row LOL. I tried both Strawberry flavor & Mango flavor. Both were outstanding... Smoogurt is layered with smoothie, yogurt and crystal jelly, and it makes perfect mixture in my mouth!! And my husband tried Oolong fruits tea and Grape smoothie. Both are great drinks!! We can choose sweetness when we order. I don't like too sweet, so that's a good point!! Also, some ppl mentioned that their drink is a little pricy, but I want to support local business, so I don't mind. I wish this tea shop growing big and can't wait 2nd location please open Waikiki side!! read more

I'm very glad to see this "Tea" place open up at Kaka'ako, just one minute from where I live. The interior design is very modern, it give you a very refresh feeling when you walk in. They just open today and offering 20% discount, so, come on down to take advantage of this discount. We ordered a jasmine milk tea with Boba. It taste very good, not too sweet. The cup is well-made and sturdy, not the cheaply cup that some other tea place offer. You can actually reuse the cup at home later. Since this is their grand opening, they don't have everything on the menu available. The staffs are very friendly. I was chatting with one of the owner during my visit. I will return to try the dessert later on. *** Updated *** Today I went back for the Soufflé, we tried three soufflés, they are freshly made, (Takes about 20 minutes) the soufflé are light and soft, not too sweet. Something new and difference from traditional desert. read more

Positive: The store looks pristine. ‍ I've been trying not to post anything negative as I know how much local businesses are struggling right now, but I felt this had to be done considering how overpriced this product was and the lack of flavor. We ordered 3 different drinks and 2 different soufflés. We requested 75% and 100% sweetness for the drinks, but each drink had zero flavor. In fact, one ticket showed it had zero flavor. It was so bland and disappointing considering each drink cost over $8! The soufflés were OK, but also a bit bland compared to other places. I'm totally bummed that this place didn't live up to what I had hoped. They need to work on the flavor and definitely the price. Also, I called ahead of time to ask about parking and the employee told me to park at H-Mart. Their website says they have parking, so Idk why they're telling me to park at H-Mart. read more

Thank you for responding back so fast. Now that you mentioned it, it does look exactly like the straw packaging. I don't recall if I mistakenly ripped a piece off when I stuck the straw in, but that must have been what happened. If that's the case, I'm sorry for my mistake. On a side note though, Awesome to hear you're planning to change to paper straws soon. Thank you ------------------------------ Aloha, I wasn't sure where to go to contact the store with this (short of just calling the store...), so I'm just going to place it here. This is my second time I've been to Sun Tea Mix, and both times have been a great experience. The service was fast and pleasant. The Mango smoogurt or the mango smoothie with the cheese foam is one of the best drinks I've ever tasted! However, this incident was not something I could let go. As I took the cap off to drink the last few sips, I noticed a large clear piece of plastic mixed in my drink. At first I thought it was a big piece of jelly but I soon found that it wasn't. It looked like some kind of packaging (maybe of the jelly cubes?). I appreciate that you guys work to bring our drinks out as fast as possible, but PLEASE make sure that your not leaving behind plastic in the drink. Thank you read more

Been here 3 times and they never have boba ... and they have charged me twice for the same drink but at different prices so I'm confused as to what the price for a milk tea actually is. Sadly I will not go again. read more

Really good grapefruit smoothie with cheese cream - such a different blend of flavors. Make sure you follow the directions to get the best mix. Nice and light and clean space and friendly staff. read more

I came here to try out the matcha latte as my friend said that it was good. It was good, but too sweet for my taste. It would have been better if they had a sweetness option like other boba places. I'll probably try the fruit drinks next time, but the prices are a bit steep. read more

Sun Tea Mix - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Never come back to this place again, made two online orders, the first time I ordered the camellia oolong tea, after 10 mins later the employee called said they ran out of the camellia, okay I will change to another drink. And second time again I ordered the camellia oolong tea cause I really like to try it out, and the order placed successfully, later when I got to the store, again the employee said they sold out the camellia. It started pissing me off after I hear that, why would you post some thing that's sold out online at the first place? Okay so I decided to cancel the order, and the employee claimed that he can't cancel my order, because they don't have the right to cancel the order. Okay I understand that some owners does not grant there employee right to cancel or refund. So then, I asked him to call the owner to cancel the order, but he said he does not have his boss's phone number! I mean, as an employee, you don't have your boss's phone number???! ( I'm pretty sure he do he just don't want to call). So there is really nothing I can do I just pick a random one on the menu. At this point I already decided I will never come back to this place again. And the surprise they left to me which made me writing this comment is that there is some dirty stuff on the bottom of the drink, not sure if it came from the tea or the lychee jelly. It's a really ridiculous and horrible experience I ever had whether from the employees attitudes and the drink. read more

I love this place, this is my go to when I'm in the area or want some souffle pancake. The souffle pancake is so fluffy and delicious. I love the milk teas, lime & Strawberry drink and the strawberry smoothie with cheese foam. Who ever thought cheese foam would be so delicious. The inside is so cute, so fresh looking with the light colors and modern furnitures. read more

Only fixed boba place (among other things - smoothies, teas, soufflé pancakes) in the neighborhood and tried it today for the first time. (Take out, of courses since social distancing in effect). Super unfortunate timing since the City just ordered a stay-at-home/work-from-home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I REALLY hope this place can survive the pandemic-caused shutdowns, because they y are legit good. Bought the green jasmine tea with boba and the tea is a very good and rich tea flavor (can tell it's quality tea) and the boba is Just The Right Texture. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the wait was longer than I expected, but that may be because they only opened days ago and because of the unexpected rush (around 10 people around) during this COVID-scary day. I may revise my review to 5 stars after a 2nd or 3rd try (assuming they survive, and I hope they do!). Update 3/29: I live in Kakaako and walk past Sun Tea Mix almost daily. Super impressed with how many times I have seen them wiping down and disinfecting! read more

I come here to do some work after my day job most days in the work week and its nice! The wifi isnt too strong but I love the atmosphere better than going to Starbucks where its always so packed. Its a comfy and clean place for sure! Mango charm and the smoogurt drinks are my faves! Mixing the mango charm or lava flow drink with vanilla gelato is also a great way to make the drinks creamier! Recently tried their strawberry tea with brown sugar boba and im not sure if it was bc of the drink but the boba was the best brown sugar boba ive had so far! I recommend this place if you're into fruitier drinks and smoothies! read more

Best place to get fluffy pancakes in town! Reminds me of Japanese fluffy pancakes, worth the 10min. wait

Very good! Very cute. Such a cute shop with modern bright decor and a very robust menu. They have Japanese pancakes here. We didn't ordered but they looked yummy and fluffy. I got the pineapple passionfruit tea and they actually gave fresh fruits in the tea which is very nice. Tasted super fresh and light. My brother got the mango storm and it was so good! I would definitely order that next time. read more

Never paid $7.50 for boba tea before, cuz that's expensive! But the mango charm drink was very tasty, it had like grapefruit, mango, lychee chunky pieces and blended cheese foam, damn it was like a party in your mouth every sip of the way, was very good! But $7.50?!? Why???? read more

I just left the store and I can honestly say this is the worst boba drink I've get tasted. For $8.21 I'm expecting something that actually tastes good. I had to throw it out because of how bad it is. Cute shop and their soufflé pancakes look good but their drinks are nasty. read more

**CORRECTION** as the owner mentioned, the parking is at 400 Keawe or at SALT. They validate for either or. Get the taro milk tea! It's not on the menu, but I highly recommend it. I usually park on the street as the only parking I've seen for them is around the corner sort of near earl and that parking lot only has one stall marked for sun tea mix. The taro milk tea uses real taro and is finished with some rice crispy cereal which adds a nice texture and flavor, even when it gets soggy! They only offer this drink in size M but that is enough. It's on the pricier side so I usually forego the boba (as my bf does not particularly like their boba texture). I personally don't mind their boba texture, but as I mentioned, it can be more expensive that other milk tea places, but the quality is there! 25% sweet is enough for me here, so be warned that it may be on the sweeter side here. Don't forget to ask for a stamp card so that you can get a reward after buying so many milk teas as you WILL be back for more. I haven't tried their souffle pancakes yet, but they look nice, and they even make special shapes like hearts for valentines! Give this place a try! read more

Love the jasmine milk tea with brown sugar boba. My go to. I also take photos everytime I go because their decor is TOO GOOD. It's the best lighting for photos!! read more

Before I start off this review, I just want to remind people to not be like the idiot that called in several different phone orders for one pick-up. If you know in advance you're going to have several different drink or menu items, then use their online order tool on their website instead of creating confusion and/or additional stress on the business and other customers. Even with that mishap, shout out to Sun Tea Mix for still managing to complete my online order at the expected time despite the aforementioned idiot's mass unorganized order. Now...onto the review. Sun Tea Mix caught my interest back in early March when a coworker and I had been walking through Kaka'ako looking for lunch. While they were still under construction, you could see the beginnings of a minimalist interior (akin to something you'd see out of Architectural Digest) with bright advertisements full of fresh fruit smoothies, teas, and souffles. It was enough to keep us checking whenever we were in the area. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit us in the worst way about mid-March, so I'm not sure when Sun Tea Mix officially opened, but I was glad to see that they did as I was walking by sometime last month with, oddly enough, the same coworker and we decided to stop by to pick up a drink. I decided to get the Strawberry and Blueberry Smoothie with Cheese Foam, while my coworker got the Fruit Oolong Tea. It took a few minutes for the drinks to be made, so just keep that in mind if you do decide that you're going to do a walk-in order. You can also use their online order app on their website, so you can actually time the drink to be ready for pick-up whenever you're in the area. In any case, my coworker did think the drink to be too sweet and with not a lot of fruit as advertised in one of their posters, but she also noted that STM used good quality tea. I, on the other hand, really enjoyed my smoothie. It was perfectly blended so that you could taste the different berries and the cheese foam (a first for me) was a delightful surprise as it was both savory and sweet, and perfectly complemented the fresh fruit in the smoothie. It was so good that I went back and tried their Mango Smoothie with Cheese Foam and loved that as well, especially as they used fresh, ripe mangoes for the blend. Overall, I think that if you're craving a smoothie, tea, or boba drink (even souffles), I would highly recommend Sun Tea Mix. Their use of fresh ingredients allows customers a wonderful drink option on a hot summer day (such as today), and the employees there are always so welcoming and warm. Plus, I find it important now more than ever to support local businesses, so definitely mask up, venture out, and see what the hype is all about. I promise you it'll be worth it! read more

Their pancakes are amazing and super fluffy. I've had the strawberry and the boba and they're incredible. Personally I'm a strawberry fiend so I preferred the strawberry but my brother really liked the boba pancakes. However, their milk teas are not great and you should bring your own boba straw (they have paper straws) read more

I was in Hawaii for five days, I came here three times, I enjoyed it so much. My first time trying boba and konnyaku, and let me say I'm a huge fan. Loved every drink I had, my fave with the grapefruit smoothie. The soufflé pancakes were amazing (they take 15-20 minutes to prepare). Amazing staff! I can't sing their praises enough! Must try! 10'a across the board. read more

my sister heard about this location recommended by a friend and since we were in kakaako, we thought we'd give it a try before leaving to aiea cause we don't normally come on this side unless its too see our parents yenno. when we walked in, we were greeted from the staffs. the place looks very clean and aesthetic, but very slow also. since it was our first time there, we were taking long on what to purchase but they were very patient about it. my sister saw they had souffles so she decided the try creme brule souffle which i give 3/5 - very salty and bitter but the sauce and souffle was good. i ordered the matcha latte which i'd give a 4.5/5 - it was sweet but i could taste some powder when i mixed it. overall we would come back here again.. about three weeks later, we came back the second time of course while we were in the area. i ordered the mango smoothie with no cheese foam giving it 4..5/5 - it was very good, it had natural blended fruit and mango pulps but it was very sweet cause of the mango syrup added into it too. my sister of course ordered the souffle haha this time it was the brown sugar boba souffle but i don't like boba and she couldn't eat cause she had braces sooo the staff recommended to get the classic one since its the same but without boba but my sister wanted to try so she got the boba instead giving it 3.5/5 - it tasted very good but i still don't like boba lol. the cost of the menu is kinda expensive, but worth it. the waiting time is less than 5 minutes since it's slow everytime we go there. the parking is behind hmart - its free if its less than an hour to an hour i think. the location is pretty noticeable, and in a busy community. other than that, if you're ever in kakaako side then i'd recommend giving this place a try cause its really worth it i promise! read more

This place is great for boba or dessert! I tried the regular milk tea and really enjoyed it. I like that this place doesn't use powder tea, they actually use real tea and ingredients are fresh. My favorite drink was the watermelon smoothie with cheese foam. If you are looking for dessert try the soufflés. Their soufflé are light and airy. It's not thick like a traditional soufflé which are rich and dense. My favorite soufflé is the creme brûlée soufflé. They actually use a blow torch to burn the sugar. The only thing is that soufflé and pancakes will take a while to get your order because it takes time to make and they make everything to order so be patient and if they are busy expect a long wait. The service is great and the staff are very friendly and nice. My first impression of the store is that it was very clean and spacious. Since covid they don't have dine in service yet but they are adhering to covid guidelines. read more

I believe their strawberry smoothie drink is the best in Hawaii! It includes soft jelly

Found this nice Boba drink place on the way to H Mart. It has a nice selection of drinks and even some desserts too. Tried a few drinks here and have yet to find a drink combo that I really like, but their Strawberry Milk drink has been the go to for my friend and I. read more

Tried the strawberry smoogurt and the creme brûlée soufflé pancakes. Super yummy and worth the wait!

Amazing service, I had a big order about 10 drinks I would say and they were efficient and didn't keep me waiting. Their tea is just on point for me. They were very patient and considerate with my large order of drinks and side food. Honestly would go their every week if I could. read more

Still the best boba on the island as of August 2020. All else is a waste of your time and money.

I saw this place on yelp and fell in love with the aesthetic and decor, and it looks so great in person as well. It's takeout only at the moment, but the service and setting was still very pleasant and enjoyable. The soufflé pancake that we got was so good and was the perfect amount! You definitely got enough for your money. Also the strawberry smoogurt that we got was very good and the brown sugar boba milk tea was also very tasty. Definitely recommend this place ! Very cute and yummy treats! read more

Not much of a selection on milk tea, if thats what you're looking for... But this place does have really great smoothies, and fruit teas. A personal favorite would be the blueberry and strawberry smoothie with plenty of cheese foam. It tastes just like a melt in your mouth berry cheese cake! I wouldn't go anywhere else for my cheese foam smoothies~ read more

Trust me, get the Brown Sugar boba milk tea. It is pretty great delicious that freshen my day.
