I work near the convention center, so this is one of the most convenient options for boba - right by the bus stop, and there is parking out front if I am driving. It's also a short walk away so good for convention center events! I love their jasmine tea, it's not oversteeped like many other places so you can really taste the tea itself, and the boba has a nice texture. The cafe is usually empty when I go, which makes it such a cute and relaxing atmosphere after work... it's great for me, but I hope they get lots more customers! read more

Tea For You is on Kapiolani, next to the pho restaurant. They share a customer lot, limited spots. The customer service was excellent. Super friendly. Prices are similar to other boba shops. If you follow them on instagram, you can get 10% off your drink! This shop is neat in that they offer a regular and JUMBO size. I have never seen jumbo size at a boba shop before. Unfortunately, when I visited the boba was still cooking. I still enjoyed my classic milk tea. The reason for the 1-star deduction has entirely to do with my preference for milk tea. I usually get 25-50% sweetness at boba places. I read another review that shared the tea is on the sweeter side at this business. Even with the 25% sweetness level, my drink was very sweet. I prefer a stronger tea flavor, subtle sweetness and slight creaminess to my milk teas. If I ever go back, I may try a different drink or adjust the sweetness. Still worth a try! The shop itself is very cute. Plenty of seating. I believe they have WiFi too, though I'm not sure I saw a restroom. They also sell cute goodies like labubus. read more

I stopped by Tea for You on a whim because I wanted milk tea! I ordered the honey dew milk tea with lychee jelly. I was greeted when I walked and my order was completed not too long after I paid. The employee who helped me was nice. The space also offers little trinkets for purchase like silk rose boxes/bears. The space is clean and bright and offers seating for friends who may want to hang out and finish their drinks there. read more

Tea For You - Chocolate smoothie with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We got two jasmine bobas - one they messed up and made it a jasmine milk tea even though I didn't want it with milk. I was just too lazy to have them change it. I tried the sakura agar boba since they didn't have aloe and it didn't really taste super florally to me but it was a cute pink. It was still pretty sweet even at 50%. My kids loved my drink! My friend wanted to try the toasts so we got a garlic and the marshmallow ice cream and holy sweet balls. It's a frickin tower of sugar haha and we couldn't finish it but it was tasty. Both are on thick toasts, think the delicious Japanese thick white toast with toppings. It seemed pricy but we enjoyed our time there. The outside has construction right now but it's still open! read more

We come here because their service and product is normally good. However everytime we get this young girl with glasses she's always very rude. Poor attitude, curt, no patience, and no manners. Something that every other establishment provides, she refuses to do. We will not be coming back and will recommend our friends and family to not come here either. She needs to learn to treat others with aloha and respect. read more

My friends and I were around the Ala Moana area and wanted to grab boba. We noticed this shop newly opened up in place of many previous boba shops and decided to check it out. It's located next to the Pho 1 Vietnamese and across of Pan Am Building where ASB is on Kapiolani Blvd near Ala Moana Center. There's a small parking lot in front of the store and maybe in the garage with only maybe a handful of stalls. I couldn't choose what I wanted to really drink at the time we went as there was a huge menu selection of drinks. I eventually chose their Black Sesame Smoothie with custard. The custard was a weird addition to my smoothie, much regret. But the drink itself wasn't too bad. There wasn't a strong nutty flavor that I like my black sesame to be but still good! The custard definitely threw me off LOL. Hopefully the next time I visit, the shop will still be here as I do want to try their milk teas. read more

The jumbo size here is truly jumbo. I don't think I've ever had a cup so large lol it was awesome. I got the Classic Milk Tea with boba and it was really good. Usually I don't like it 100% sweet but this time I got 100% sweet and I'm glad I did because it wasn't even that sweet. 100% was the perfect amount of sweetness for me. Our drink came out really fast even though there was only one woman running the whole shop! Great customer service and clean shop! I would recommend going especially if you want a truly jumbo sized drink. Also 10% off if you follow their Instagram read more

Swung by to get some boba before our tattoos. I've walked by before and thought it was so cute. There isn't much parking out front and the store is very tiny. Only 2 tables inside. One guy was working but it was just us so we didn't have to wait long. I got the taro milk tea, 50% sweetness and boba. It was really creamy and delicious. The Oreo milk tea was delicious too, nice and creamy and sweet! I enjoyed the boba it wasn't too soft and sticky but held its shape. read more

Arrived at 8:30pm to try their honey toast and was advised they cant make it because they close at 8:50pm... waste of time driving to town.

It's tea time for all... As I'm a fruit tea lover I was limited to specific locations but here I'm just so delighted with the varieties from simple tea to bougie smoothies, yogurt drinks, lemonades and even desserts. The vibe here is so bright yet cozy as there three tables to relax which really love and am recharging my phone as we speak as I placed my order with the delightful lady she encouraged me to try any free toppings offered for today which I did for my Strawberry Taro smoothie I chose Passionfruit jelly...a tad sweet for me but love the crunchy texture which paired well with the smoothie. I also ordered my favorite Wintermelon tea without sugar and she gave me a sample of what it'll taste like (which was thoughtful) so that I'm aware of it's simplicity which I love. There are four "customer parking" spots right in front of the shop but what a sweet place that's in a convenient location right on Kapiolani on the ground level of Ala Moana Tower condominium, follow them on Instagram @teaforyou808 Thank you! read more

Refreshing beverage in Honolulu, Hawaii... Driving towards Waikiki on Kapiolani Boulevard, I couldn't help but notice some festive balloons and an "OPEN" sign in the window of the former Cha Tea. There was an empty parking space right in the front, so I pulled in. A guy was taking photos of a nice lady who told me to go inside... They're open! It's the Soft Opening of Tea For You on 8-1-23! Inside, the cute cafe has pleasant music, cool air conditioning, and clean, bright ambiance! Service was very friendly, helpful, and cheerful! The cashier assured me that the milk teas are dairy free. I got a Peach Green Tea. She pointed out that toppings are free today - ok - thank you! I'll get the Rainbow jelly! I asked for the Peach Green Tea to be 50 percent sweet, and it was just right! I'll be sure to stop by again! Welcome to Tea For You! Wishing you much success! read more

Auntie Nadine tells me that she discovered this new place that we need to try out. I was game, so off we went. It's in the former location at Cha Tea on Kapiolani Blvd. They have an extensive drink menu. Growing up I always ate black sesame paste, so I was ecstatic that they had a black sesame smoothie. It was really good. The owner told me that she used condemned milk in it, so she didn't add any other sweeteners. I told her that it was perfect, as I don't like my drinks too sweet. She can always make if sweeter for you if that's your preference. They have plain teas, milk teas, smoothies, lattes, lemonades, fruit teas, cheese teas and yogurt drinks. They also sell different types of toast and cheese cake. I can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu. Congrats on your soft opening and the best of luck! read more

The menu offers an incredible variety of teas, from classic favorites to unique fruit-infused blends that are bursting with fresh flavors. There are a variety of fruit and milk tea flavors to complement their delicious tea creations.

If you've been to their predecessor, Cha Tea, then you've been here. The menu is the same, only thing different is the color palate. Staff is nice and friendly and can explain any questions you may have. The milk teas and fruit mills are also good. Location is quite convenient with a few open parking, but it's better if you are walking. There's a few tables and chairs if you want to take a break with your tea and relax (but chairs aren't very comfortable). They get four stars because the staff is nice and generally the teas are pretty good, but there's nothing about this place that makes it any different than the boba place that stood here before. read more

I love boba shops and this one is def one of my favorites already! Located next to Pho One on Kapiolani, this tea shop is in a convenient location with parking and the interior is super cute! The workers were super nice and helped answer our questions since it was our first time. There's tons of drink options but my friends and I got the following drinks at 50% sweetness - 1) Mango Sago - this was super refreshing and it felt like the mango was blended so it had a nice texture! 2) Black Sesame Smoothie - we love black sesame and was super happy to see this on the menu. If you're looking for something sweet with a roasted nutty flavor, this is the drink to get 3) Wheat Germ milk tea - this was so good, had lots of tea flavor. The overall flavor is kind of hard to describe, it's almost like a wheat flavored milk tea and reminds me of being in Asia. This place is going to be in my boba shop rotations from now on! read more

I've been on the hunt for a go-to boba place since my favorite spot recently closed down. I had high hopes for Tea for You but was pretty disappointed. I ordered the peach tea with boba. The tea itself was pretty bland and didn't have a lot of peach flavor. The boba consistency was a little too soft (I like boba to be squishy and bouncy). The sweetness of the boba was good though. There was just one person working when I visited in the afternoon. He was on his phone the phone time except when I was paying for the order, not the best look for a new boba spot. read more

I got the matcha milk tea from here and I really wish I hadn't. I prefer my matcha to actually taste somewhat on the stronger side, and this matcha tasted very sweet and artificial. It also was very powdery. The boba was nice and soft, but added even more sweetness to the already sweet matcha. I ordered my drink at 25% sweetness, so I was hoping it would at least be a little less sweet! The worker there also took quite some time to take my order, but I think it was because the person in front of me was getting the toast, and since she was the only worker, she had to go and do everything herself. There's so many boba places on the island that are better than here and cheaper than here (it was $8 for my drink!), so I would suggest going somewhere else instead. read more

I was really craving boba in Honolulu and this was the closest one. The interior was cute, pink with white furniture. Small, only two tables. I wanted something a little floral-y so I decided to get the Rose Boba. The flavors itself were all aight, but this is my first time having Rose boba with ACTUAL rose petals. I should not have been so daring. $7 overall. Not bad but took 1 star off for not being worth that price. read more

I do not recommend this place. The staff here is mean and unkind. The drinks are just average in taste. Nothing special.

This place is very cozy. The staff is kind and the smoothies and Boba tea is very good. My only wish is that they would bring back the peanut butter smoothie. My wife and I used to come here 2 to 3 times a week when it was Cha Tea but ever since the became Tea for You they changed their menu and removed the peanut butter smoothie which was my favorite thing on the menu. Now, we only stop by once or twice a month. read more
