    Avocado banana smoothie + camellia oolong tea
    Lentina V.

    Was looking for a warm tea but they only served cold drinks. There were a few oolong options so I asked what's the difference (phoenix has stronger rose flavor, camellia is floral, white peach tastes like peach, and four seasons is "regular" oolong). Hubs got an avocado banana smoothie, I got a camellia oolong tea half sweet with lychee jelly. The camellia oolong tea was refreshing. The 50% sweetness is borderline unsweetened, so I guess their 100% isn't very sweet to begin with. The smoothie was creamy but bland, with faint avocado and banana taste (which is surprising because banana usually overpowers everything). The hubs didn't mind that it wasn't sweet but he wasn't impressed. Spacious interior with set up for studying and/or working as long as folks don't mind cheerful music blasting through the speakers. After we ordered, we were offered samples of their coconut pudding/jelly. I think it's a new product offering? (Texture is like Chinese style almond jelly or locally known as almond float, also looks like almond jelly, tastes like coconut cream. Not like haupia. And thankfully doesn't have suntan lotion smell either.) Located a minute walk away from H Mart. We parked on the street today because free parking on Sundays! We were given a loyalty card-- buy 10 get 1 free.

    Sun Tea Mix is one of our favorite dessert spots in Hawaii and we make sure to go at least once every time we visit the island. We love their fluffly pancakes (soufflés) our favorite is the Creme brulee and Brown sugar boba soufflés (they can take about 20-30mins to make so just plan accordingly) - they are delicious, fresh, warm and just the right amount of sweetness. For the drinks our go to is the Mango Charm. We love the real mango chunks and bits in the drink and it isn't difficult to finish the whole drink in one sitting. It's also nice that you can customize your drink and sweetness level. Service is good and ambiance is homey - they have board games for your group to enjoy. They also provide stamp cards for loyalty which is a nice perk if you come often!

    Best boba on O'ahu. Friendly staff. Short wait. Free parking at lot. Games available in store. Sit down tables and couches also available.

    Came back to try some of their other food items and just like the first time I went everything was amazing! I got to try their soufflé pancakes, their coconut puddings and their strawberry lime tea with crystal boba. Everything was super delicious! Staff was super friendly and helpful with recommendations and everything we got was not overly sweet or too much. They provide free parking next to the hmart for 1 hour so you don't have to worry about finding street parking. 1000/10 will definitely be back !

    ** $11 for a soufflé is pricey, and it's very small Tried the crème brûlée soufflé , it was pretty good but very sweet -- strawberry soufflé was even better tho, not too sweet, with strawberries -- brown sugar milk tea was alright, worth a try. Nothing can't beat Hana Tea's milk tea tho... Parking: found street parking but you can park in h-mart (but, parking stalls are so small/tight) Ambiance: loved it, great place to lounge & they have a place to charge your phone/laptop + has board games like jenga, would you rather, etc.

    Got the crème milk tea; honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. Only wish they had grass jelly as a topping. Always a favorite - worth a membership if you frequent regularly!

    We were two people and ordered two drinks and two soufflés at the beginning. The drinks were not our favorite, but the soufflés were so good, so we ordered two more souffles later. The environment was okay , but the AC wasn't cool, we were sitting on the top seat by the window, even there was no sun outside, we didn't feel any AC by the top seat, and felt so hot. We changed the seats later when a table available.

    Decided to give this place a try since my friend really loves it and I can see why! Service was pretty fast so I wasn't waiting long and the drink I ordered was delicious with the boba being just right! Only thing is if you do plan on coming here on a weekend especially in the afternoon you are better off using the parking lot across the street from the one for H Mart because there's a lot more spots there although the walk over to Sun Tea will be a little longer I'd still do it again!

    Walked in here expecting it to be a bit more teeming with energy, but the people who come here are typically a bit quieter and more reserved. The girl who served my drink was friendly though and did her job. I ordered a large, classic milk tea. Boba, 50% ice, 50% sweetness. The boba was fine - a little tougher than I'd like, and seemed like it was covered in honey or something. Milk tea tasted good - almost reminiscent of a Hong Kong milk tea. If you're looking for places to park around here, you can park on the street side (metered) or around the corner there's a parking garage on the same block as Down To Earth. It's free for the first hour. Sun Tea Mix is relatively clean and I really like the high ceilings and open decor. I didn't really like the packages and boxes crowding the bathroom, but at least it's semi-hidden. Light music, easy-going atmosphere, and decent milk tea. I use this as a baseline to see how "seriously" boba shops take their stuff. I'd give it a solid 7/10 (and I've been to many shops before!) It ran me about $8 for a large, though. Wish these things were ~$5 like they used to be!

    They are the best good customers service and the drinks is the best mahalo .lived in Kaneohe come all the way here just for the drinks is really good this is my 6times coming here .

    Shay Y.

    My friend brought me here. I've known about Sun Tea Mix for awhile but never tried it. Then suddenly I've been here 3 times in the last 4 months or so. It's such a cute, quaint little shop. The space is modern, clean, open, and has a bunch of seating options. The drink menu is pretty extensive/standard, something for everyone. This time I got the white peach oolong straight tea, 50% sweet, with boba. Boba has a good chew to it. I probably could've gone 25% sweet, but 50 was also fine. On another visit, I had a pineapple lilikoi (I think?) drink, and that was much better, for me. I would recommend going with fruity drinks. They use fresh fruit when possible. Overall a very cute cafe to hangout at. There's parking in all the nearby kakaako spots - Salt, the Flats, etc - https://ourkakaako.com/parking/ 1st hour should be free w/o validation

    Our new go to team shop. Great great service and their smoothie and teas are the best. They never use powder to make the drinks , everything is made from real fruits, very nice decor and clean clean tea shop. If you haven't already try it, come stop by.

These fried, sugar-coated dough balls, often filled with custard or haupia, are beloved for their fluffy texture and association with tradition, especially "Malasada Day" (Fat Tuesday). And Leonard's Bakery malasadas are popular in Hawaii because they are served fresh, hot, and fluffy, establishing the Portuguese doughnut as a staple island treat since 1952. Founder Leonard Rego pioneered commercializing them, creating a cult following for the crisp-on-the-outside, doughy-on-the-inside treats. There's nothing like a nice, hot, and fresh malasada.

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9). Truth be told, it stole the show from the malasadas.
