    There is basically no seating. I came here because I saw nice photos of several tables and seating areas, and I was looking for a nice cafe to study at. Unfortunately, those photos must have show the layout pre-covid. Now, this place is much smaller and has only 2 bar stools (almost no seating, and definitely not a good place to study). It seems to be aimed at takeout drinks. I'm very disappointed and will not return.

    Refreshing beverage in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... I searched my Yelp app and found a tea shop that I hadn't visited yet! Located at Aiea Town Square, Tea Cafe is in the same building as Golden Wheel Restaurant... just a couple of doors down, and next to a vape shop. Shared parking is free in this hilly area. Just drive carefully along the curvy inclines! Inside, the shop is cozy with lots of snacks and some merchandise on shelves. There were only two counter seats. Most customers do takeout while I hung around for the 2pm special of the week: watermelon smoothie. I thought: "Gosh... I need watermelon for my upcoming blood donation!" What perfect timing! There were about four staff making drinks, taking orders, and keeping things moving! They handled the crowds well! My watermelon smoothie was perfect! Thanks for letting me cool down at your place! ...and thanks for offering me a Loyalty card! I'll be back!

    Large signature milk tea
    Lorie G.

    I was in the mood for something refreshing and since I was in the Aiea area, I found this gem on Yelp. It is located in the Aiea town center. Their menu has smoothies also and different types of tea, but I opted for their signature milk tea. The large was $5.00 - pretty good price. If you want other things like boba or jelly, it costs more, but I just wanted the milk tea. I liked that the tea wasn't bitter since the person at the counter said their signature is pre-mixed. Great thing is that it did satisfy my thirst!

    Strawberry milk tea
    P Y.

    A nice little shop. No seating but pretty open space. Got a strawberry milk tea, unfortunately was extremely underwhelmed. I think they might have forgotten to add the tea. $6 for strawberry milk was a little frustrating. Drinks came out fast though. Try the mochi milk!

    We were in the parking lot and saw this milk tea place. The hubby wanted a milk tea, so we went in. They have a lot of options and sell a multitude of drinks: smoothies, shakes, frappes, specialty drinks, milk teas and flavored teas. They have reasonable prices. We got a large cake milk tea $5.75. It wasn't too sweet and so creamy. The boba had a perfect chew. We really enjoyed it. Too bad we don't live in the area or we would come more often.

    Winter melon milk tea with boba, 25% sweetness and less ice
    Valery L.

    I've only been here once so may come back to give it another try but I wasn't impressed with my drink. I ordered the winter melon milk tea with boba at 25% sweetness and less ice. I was going to ask for no ice but the workers said that it may be too sweet without adding ice so I did light ice. However, when I drank it, it seemed diluted to me. The taste was fine and the boba tasted like it usually does.

    Small coffee milk tea with boba & a large brown sugar milk tea with boba
    Amber R.

    Decided to give this place a try on 1/15 since I was craving boba and one of my old coworkers posted about them before so I thought I'd give them a try. While the employee that took my order was double checking with me that she input everything I asked for there was another employee that ended up coming to the front and started working on my order so by the time I was done paying & getting my stamp card I waited probably a minute and my order was already done and I was out the door! Definitely feel that I got lucky since there was only 1 person in line by the time I got there and they were already ordering by then. I will say try not to take too long to drink whatever tea you order because the ice will melt and water it down but other than that it was delicious and I can definitely see myself going again!

    Açaí Bowl with Honey.

    Ordered the Açaí Bowl with honey ($13.00). Everything tasted fresh. There were fruit pieces, part of the trail mix, that became hard and difficult to chew once it mixed with the cold items. Also, there quite a few chunks of ice that weren't completely blended. The portions were quite small for the price. Service. The server was very polite and helpful in taking and making our order. Ambience. The location is small but works well for the type of items served. I would recommend Tea Cafe for locals and those visiting the Aloha State if you're looking for something sweet and are nearby.

    Food was great!!!!!! Service today from the older lady was not so great. It seemed like she was overwhelmed and took it out on the employees. Very short when we ordered. Ambiance cute small shop

    Avocado Smoothie

    Time And Time Again... I Gotta Hit This Spot Up After Pho Time! There's Something about the Hong Kong Milk Tea With Boba That Gets To Me. 100% do I recommend Hong Kong Milk Tea. This place does have other drinks such as Fruit Smoothies. They Have a small selection of Chinese Snacks located in Shelves when you enter the shop... I keep forgetting to bring my stamps card. So, I have 10 cards at my house... 10 stamps is enough for a free drink. The workers are super fast and efficient.

    Signature Milk Tea w/boba & pudding - Jumbo $8
    Sarah N.

    Drove from Wahiawa to get us some bubble waffle and boba. We were excited! Big let down on the bubble waffle that tasted like premixed artificial batter that was like a powder and water. I was hoping for a rich, crispy waffle with hints of butter and vanilla (like Happy Lemon), but boy oh boy were we let down. It was sort of like plastic and quite over cooked. Unfortunately, we only ate half of the small lil thing and threw the rest away. **Sad face!** On the bright side, Tea Cafe has a wide variety of drinks to choose from and their prices are reasonable. The Signature Milk Tea was a hit for my wife. We'd be back for sure, but NOT for the bubble waffle. Service was fast and efficient. Cafe was busy!

    taro, chocolate & honeydew milk teas
    Brianna B.

    Favorite boba place ever! the Milk tea is always perfectly flavored and sweet, the jumbo size is amazing and price point is great for quality. Service is always quick & nice too. My favorites are the Kinako Cheese Foam Milktea, their Taro, Thai&Brown Sugar. The boba is chewy and perfect & i love adding the egg pudding to mine too.

    Fresh baked Bubble Waffle! Yum!!

    I live in Aiea, for years we've been without a doughnut shop!!…read more Island Glaze showed up a couple of years ago and I am thrilled! I really enjoy their glazed doughnuts, they taste like Krispy Kreme to me! I have cruised through the other choices and liked several of them! They do a good job with their fruit flavors. Strawberry, guava, and passion fruit were yummy! Peanut butter and jelly was good too! The people there are always eager to please and very friendly, even when I can't decide what I want to try! The shop itself is bright, there are places to sit and areas for kids to play! More importantly the shop smells heavenly and the doughnuts are fresh!!

    I went around 12:30pm, selection was scarce. Go early. She…read moresaid the ones that are out, she could make really quick or gas in the back, then I asked for about 5 different doughnuts that she checked and said they were out and cannot make. I settled on a dozen, 2 glazed, 1 strawberry mango, 1 choc mac nut, 1 pb & j, and 1 oreo ubae. I didn't really care for them. The doughnuts were soft but like, flat. Kind of like soggy. Can tell it was sitting for a long time. A lot of interesting flavors. It's good that they sold out of a lot by noon! If you come by, make sure to go early or it's slim pickings. Very open/spacious interior. I was the only one there so it was quiet and chill, there's seats and a couch to wait on.

    I visited Panday at the Kailua mini swap meet. It was a small, kind of random event that…read moresurprisingly didn't have any other food or drink vendors. I felt kind of bad because it was a one person show and the owner guy had to accommodate a lot of customers by himself! It was a hot day and a cold drink sounded great. I heard someone mention there was a coffee vendor but the person made it sound like they were only selling cups of hot or iced coffee. Then someone walked by with a matcha drink and I knew I needed to check out Panday's booth. There was a small line of customers and the guy was working hard to chat with people, collect payments and make drinks. When it was my turn, I ordered the "Biko" coffee which is their special Filipino rice/coconut/condensed milk coffee. He said he probably didn't have enough and I should look over the menu to see if I had a second choice. I chose the banana matcha and he said he didn't have any banana syrup. I mean maybe the event was so popular that he ran out of drinks quicker than expected. I guess he was the only food/drink vendor at the event and it was a hot day.... In the end, he had enough Biko for my drink and everything was fine. It was a good latte and flavorful, but idk if I'd go out of my way to find it in the future. I do want to try the banana matcha still though. For a one man operation, this guys is killing it. He makes the espresso shots to order, so drinks may take a little while to get made. He was good at chatting up people in line while we waited though. Hopefully I'll see panday coffee at another event soon!

    Stop and smell what's brewing…read more.. That's exactly what I did as soon as I saw the sidewalk sign right outside of Fishcake in Kaka'ako and I'm so glad I did ;) checking out their menu you can find the usual espresso, latte and americano and now for the fun stuff...their "Specialty Drinks" from Monkey Coffy which has house made banana syrup, Biko which is a Filipino rice milk coffee and even the newest The Panday Pandan Latte! I really was intrigued by their Monkey Coffy but really wanted to try their Matcha when they said that I could combine it for "Monkey Matcha" whaaaaaaat!!!! Their only concern is that the banana syrup could overpower the matcha so they weren't confident to put it on the menu but I tell you it was yummy and yes the syrup was very flavorful as I was told it is made with real bananas and has the equivalent of two bananas in each cup...incredible. The staff is amazing and informed me of the wait with several orders already in the works but I do love the creativity as they bring in the culture crafted in each cup is unique and "sip"ly delicious. Thank you!
