I ordered a hot latte, Vietnamese ice coffee and a matcha latte. At no point during ordering did they tell me they didn't have the right cups or lids for a hot drink so I got a hot drink in a soda cup which tasted super weird and had no lid. But it was too late as it was given to me that way. I think those cups are waxed so they don't leak so putting hot espresso in it made it taste weird. Also, the milk seemed really watery. To be honest it tasted like a bad drip coffee. They have zero sugar free syrup options so I asked for a sugar free packet. They did have that luckily. We usually like sitting and enjoying our drinks when we order drinks but not here

I was so excited to try the "mango sticky rice" smoothie and oh boy was that not worth $10. Spent nearly $30 for a total of 3 drinks. The mango sticky rice smoothie did NOT taste like mango sticky rice. Had a very artificial mango flavor taste. There was no coconut flavor whatsoever. Took a few sips and that was it. Really wanted to like it, but need to stick to just the regular dessert.

I love boba drinks so here's another review of a cute little cafe!…read more The ambience is cute and charming. They have complimentary free wifi and cute little games to play no matter where you sit. From building blocks to jenga to class machines and digital games as well. They also sell stuffed animals and little snacks. They have a nice variety of drinks for their menu. You have to ask for non dairy options if you're lactose intolerant. Again my favorite is an Oreo drink even at this place lol. If asked nicely, they even let me rinse out my cup so I could collect and keep and take my cup home. In the end they were nice enough to just give me a new cup lol it was just too cute! I use it at home! It's got cute little panda ears and eyes.

It had all kinds of drinks including boba tea, smoothie, coffee, yogurt, fruit tea, milk shakes etc. it also has snacks and plushies. They also make plums and lihing .

Taste Tea is located in Waikele Premium Outlet which is divided in to two section and Taste Tea is located in the area with Lowe's and Old Navy area and is found along the fence and not in the McDonald's food area. This tiny trailer does have it all like any full service store with menu filled with options for me it was the simple "Honey Iced Tea" and with the choice of teas it was Spring Tea my favorite with light sweetness was a nice and refreshing sip. The only downside is there not seating in this area regardless of the freeway vibe and is pretty much a grab and go situation though love the convenience of having this spot with lots of free parking does make very Taste Tea. Thank you!

Really disappointed. I went on a weekend (Saturday) and there was no one in front of me, so they should not be rushed or anything. I would expect better. The area is convenient and parking is plentiful, but I definitely don't recommend this place. One of the worst boba drinks I've had.

I've seen Coffee or Tea? whenever I'm in the area but really have the hardest time finding parking at this Crossroads at Waipio complex which is probably why the limit customer parking to 30 minutes to be fair but then that leaves you little time to sit and relax as they do have some tables inside to do so. After finishing at Car Wash 808 Express I though to give it a try and was lucky enough to get a parking and knew it was meant to be as I walked in liked what I saw inside as it's nice and clean and quite spacious and had many of the snacks and treats to choose from as well. I did notice their featured drinks and the Honey & Lemon Black Tea which sounded exactly what I needed and though I'm able to adjust the sweetness and ice level as well is nice to enjoy my drink, the staff made it very fast and efficient giving me lots of time to run over to Golden Coin for some lunch as well. Love this cozy spot though the time limit does deter me from visiting here as I do like to sit and enjoy my tea sometimes as well. Thank you!

I like how you can pick three toppings for one price, and there are many varieties including my favorite grass jelly. Plus you can see the toppings near the counter. I also like how the tea wasn't excessively sweet or had a lot of ice. The drink was really refreshing and tasty. Probably the thing I liked the most was all the traditional Asian snacks at reasonable prices for purchase. Staff was friendly too. This is my new go to boba place in Kapolei.

I decided to try one of the local favorites (designated on the menu with cat paws) -- macadamia nut. It was a little too sweet for me, so I got my son to switch his brown sugar milk tea, which I liked better. The boba had good texture, but I would have liked it a little sweeter. My milk tea standards are pretty high, and this was decent. Better than Teapresso but not as good as Seven Leaves in So Cal. They have a little shopping area with snacks if you need something to go with your drink.

Today we got the Fresh Mango and Horchata Cheesecake. They were both good, but different. The Horchata Cheesecake was sweet and creamy. The Fresh Mango was made with fresh fruit, so it was on the tangy side. The li hing and mango stars gave the drink a pop. Prices have gone up a little. The small smoothies are $7 and the large are $8. The specialty drinks are around $15. We spent $30 for the Fresh Mango and Horchata Cheesecake. For the specialty drinks they charge for every add on, so it adds up fast.
