It's always tea time... With this Pearlridge Shopping Center kiosk as it's basically right at the entrance of TJ Maxx location of the mall so it's almost the first thing you see or the last if you're exiting in that direction and for me it was on my way out lol! With a decent amount of options available at this mall Taste Tea seems to be one of the favorites as there's always someone there placing an order which is great and since it was a bit late I realize that it was almost closing tie and I felt bad that I just needed some tea to get me through the night as I still had ore things to do With that it was Peach Iced Tea with Boba and the staff was very polite as the person who was taking the order was busy assembling other items the guy making the tea took my order keeping the flow going is a great teamwork between the staffs is nice vibe to see and my tea was Taste-y as usual. Thank you!

Taro milk tea blended with boba
Mari T.

Ok so it's been a while since I have gotten a bubble drink but I heard Taste Tea is good. I got the blended taro milk tea with boba and it was soooo refreshing I was in shock! The tea flavor wasn't too strong thankfully since I don't like tea. I mainly wanted a taro milk shake with chewy boba and that's what it tasted like! The boba texture was just right: not too starchy and not too gooey. I watched her make the smoothie and while it was the powder flavoring, it didn't taste chalky. Perfect for walking around the mall and sipping away. Before I knew it, it was gone! So much for saving some for my mom! They have a very extensive menu so I had a hard time deciding but it was between pudding milk tea blended and the taro and the cashier recommended taro. Good choice!

The Pearl Ridge location usually has three staff running it efficiently. There's rarely a line. My go to flavors are taro, melon or matcha blended with LARGE boba. They never disappoint.

Small boba
Lauren L.

Went about 7pm on Friday - they were out of the big boba - so I opted for the small boba instead. They gave me a small straw which cracked and as I drank all the tea . Also found a clump of the small boba on the bottom of the cup and it was just unacceptable. This location is usually good?

Regular Green tea and Green Milk tea
Jolene L.

Have you ever been wronged and wanted to make things right? Well after yesterday's disappointment, we wanted to go somewhere else for good service and good tasting milk tea. Ding, ding, ding, we got a winner! Must be #SensationalSunday! First, I have to give a big mahalo to the workers at Taste Tea. They were all friendly, helpful, and so quick! One of our beverages was filled and ready before I finished paying. Now that's service! More importantly, the full tea taste was in there. Not hidden with ice or water like yesterday at the other place. We were very satisfied with today's service and order. In fact, this was cheaper than the bad experience yesterday. Thank you again Taste Tea, we will be back!

Taro Coconut Milk Tea with Molten Tapioca
Charrissa N.

This review is long overdue, but when I used to work at the mall, I would come here almost every day after work and order the Fruity Pebbles Milk Tea or the Taro Coconut Milk Tea with Molten Tapioca. The molten tapioca is my favorite drink add-on. It is warm and chewy and goes perfectly with the milk tea. The drinks here are good, and the service is fast. I have no complaints, but I do wish that there was a Taste Tea location in Kapolei!

Ask the Community - Taste Tea

Does anyone know where did they move to? It not by the entrance anymore. Are they still in the mall?

They were forced to move out of that space, so temporarily closed until they move to another location inside Pearlridge Mall. According to their Instagram page, they are planning to move to a kiosk that's next to TJ Maxx, between Moe's and BRUG…

Just requires some patience. Once you are seated, the service was excellent today. The food came out quickly and all the condiments and items to accompany our meal were brought promptly to the table. We also needed to grab some baked goods, because, why not? My family member is celebrating a birthday and it is the best thing to see a smile come to their faces when you show up with the classic Liliha box of deliciousness. Can never go wrong. I definitely feel like this location provides a better experience overall than the one in International Marketplace. Staff is friendlier and food even tastes better somehow.

The mochi was absolutely delicious -- fresh, soft, and such a great little gift to bring back to the team. It's easy to see why this place is so busy. Honestly, places like this make me want to move to Honolulu. I just wish they had a California location because I would definitely be a regular. Great first visit, and I'll absolutely stop by again whenever I'm back in Hawaii.

However, it does tend to get really busy and sometimes when I see how backed up it is, I just leave. I do feel that they prioritize the drive-thru over walking in because a few times I would just go in to order if the drive-thru is busy and the barista taking my order appears to be taking and making orders for the drive-thru. There were also a few instances I saw where you can't even go in to order and could only go to the drive-thru. I do understand when they say they're short-staffed and I see how it can get pretty busy. I'm just sharing my past experience but I do continue to come here because my drinks are always made to how I like it and I love that they're open a little later than other coffee shops! Some of the drinks I love: Iced Vietnamese Cold Brew (it can be strong sometimes) Iced White Chocolate Latte Iced Hazelnut Latte Iced Blended Cookies & Cream Iced Blended Caramel Iced Blended Cookie Butter (it can be really sweet) Li Hing Lemonade I love when they have Mo'Jo Mondays where they feature a drink for $3. They also do stamp cards and when you fill it up you get a free drink at any size.

The Salted Maple Coffee had a nice hint of salty n' sweet n' went very well with the coffee. I really liked the fresh strawberry puree in the Strawberry Matcha. Was hoping for more of a matcha-y taste throughout the drink. I believe they mentioned in an IG story that they will be sourcing a new matcha soon, so I am eager to see if that will enhance their matcha drinks to be the best it can be. Will have to try it out once it becomes available!

You really get that warm, spiced cookie butter flavor in every sip--dessert in drink form The texture was smooth and satisfying, and everything tasted well-balanced, not artificial or heavy. This is the kind of drink you treat yourself to when you want something cozy and decadent. If you're a cookie butter fan, this is a must-order. I'd come back just for this drink alone.

Drive into the Calvary church parking lot and you will see their Cafe. The Acai bowl was absolutely delicious. There's plenty of bananas, blueberries, and strawberries on the top with granola and macadamia nuts. I've never had mac nuts in my acai but they were yummy!. The size is perfect and well enough to fill you up. They also have a large size that you can probably half with someone. It's huge. I had my first one on Tuesday, went again on Friday. After the first try, I couldn't resist and had to go again. I'd totally recommend. Cost for regular size was $10 and the large was $15. BTW - they also have lots of fresh fruit cups, smoothies, sandwiches,... I also heard they have dinners on certain nights too.

But the environment is beautiful, spacious and not crowded. they have a lot of coffee options except this morning,I only went with the regular drip, to which the barista made it beautifully.

Really the only complaint is the lack of Koi pond in the fish pond out front, but I don't feel like that's really a complaint, it's more of a wish.

We ordered the Orange Chicken, a poke bowl, and a couple of the infused teas with lemonades, and everything was delicious. Highly recommend! The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and inviting. The location is a little interesting, but it's definitely worth the hunt! Once you spot the flag on the corner of the building, you'll know you're in the right place--you just have to look for it. Most importantly, Chelsea made us feel so welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. We honestly haven't had service that good in a LONG time. Thank you, Chelsea, for making our experience so enjoyable! We'll definitely be back!
