    With each location brings the uniqueness... This Teapresso Express is just that a tiny place that serves up some yumminess and so much more. Never have I seen a location that serves up not just desserts but Vietnamese bentos and sandwiches...a lot of it ready to go that I got a bit overwhelmed as there's so much going on. What also seems different here as well is their original sugarcane drink even making it flavored as well...is this offered at other locations as well? Teapresso glassware is a love different from the mason jars these are a bit more cute love both the tall glassware with the sleeve as it looks so secure. The staff here is a delight making my drink just my way which is a peach black tea no boba light sweetness was super yummy and it had bits of dried peaches that I do love as it soften after each sip I just didn't expect it at all. There's no seating in this tiny nook but there are some tables provided by Bishop Square outside, and early birds are in for a treat as they serve coffee for $0.99 from 7am to 10am talk about a good morning! Thank you!

    Sour sap iced tea
    Joyce L.

    I tried their cold brew recently and it was good. It was definitely smooth and satisfying especially after lunch. So I came the next day had another one. And then I saw a sour sap with jasmine iced tea sign on the wall. On the third day, I tried their soup sap with real fruits in it. The only mistake I made was taking the small straw instead of the boba straw so I had to use a fork to grab the fruit. I'm a coffee addict but it was nice to try something different. I don't like sugary drinks so I asked for no sugar and sour sap was sweet enough naturally. $6 for healthy drink is well worth the try.

    Combo banh mi - rlly good!
    Pamela L.

    This location is out of the way for me because I don't live or work near downtown but used to visit their century center location and enjoyed their banh mi in the past. However, the last time I had their banh mi i ordered through delivery and it strangely had margarine in it. Couldn't finish it because the margarine had an artificial sweetness to it. Went back again today and was glad to see mayo again in the combo banh mi. I like that they add scallions or green onions to their banh mi but wish it was fresh rather than a scallion oil like it was today. I went later in the day so sadly they didnt have any summer rolls ready. I also had a house milk tea and the worker was very kind to remake it because I said the first drink was too sweet. I yelped and found that Alii place parking garage has cheaper rates than bishop square so I parked there and crossed the street. Will be frequenting here more for my banh mi fix now that I know where to park :)

    Crab cake banh mi
    Crystal R.

    My intentions for this place was for that boba fix but for some reason, this time I was drawn to the food. While waiting in line to place my initial order of a taro milk tea with coffee jelly (which I recommend), the banh mi was calling my name. I noticed that one of the specials was a crab cake banh mi which made me instantly want to try as I usually go for a chicken banh mi. For $11.99, the banh mi consisted of three small crab cakes, cilantro, pickled carrot & daikon, lettuce, tomato, and sauces. The bread was nice and crunchy however, the sauces made the banh mi a little too messy. Although it didn't deter me from eating all of it. It was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of crunchiness of the bread and vegetables. There a little hint of spice but it didn't overpower the dish. What fell short for me was the crab cake as it didn't taste that fresh and had that strong crab smell. The crab cake also fell apart and it didn't bring any texture to the dish. I'll give this place another try for a different banh mi. Overall I would still go there for their teas whenever I would crave for boba during my work week. They also have a rewards program which at this time I was able to redeem a free drink so it worked out for me. Originally wanted tea but ended up getting lunch and a free drink.

    Business is located at Bishop Square which is located on after Aloha Sushi and before Lox of Bagel. This location is the only location where 1 employee makes all the food and 2 employees who makes the drinks. My 2 co-workers had been here before and recommended summer roll with shrimp. She said that they had the cheapest price in downtown. Per employee, food were prepared and available by 9:00 am. They included summer roll with shrimp and some other foods. My order was summer roll with big pieces of shrimp and fishcake banh mi. Fishcake banh mi is kind of pricey but has good taste. Summer roll was worth it with big pieces of shrimp. On my next visit, I hope to try other food including dessert.

    a sandwich and iced coffee
    Marynell K.

    Teapresso is my favorite boba shop in downtown. I have tried a few different flavors, but the crème brûlée milk tea is definitely my go-to. Their banh mi is both filling and delicious. My favorite is the teapresso special banh mi. The addition of jalapeño (optional) gives it that kick you need a lunch time to get your through the rest of the day.

    I love this Teapresso Express! They make yummy Banh Mi and Thai ice tea! When I have errands in downtown, I always get my lunch there! Easy access by the bus and lots of outside tables!

    iced Vietnamese milk coffee
    Hannah O.

    Iced Vietnamese Milk Coffee - there are no words to describe how good that first sip of iced viet coffee hits when you're running on fumes. I haven't tried anything else here but the viet coffee is worth coming back for.

    Ordered tofu summer roll. Waited for 5 minutes and I was told to come back later on because they have a food inspection going on. Notice one lady yelling at the other lady due to issues on food temperature. Not a good way to start, I'll come back when they get it together.

Sadly, it seemed more folks were there for the pastries though. First off, I'm surprised I found such a fabulous cup of coffee in what feels like the epicenter of tourist life on this island. While visiting another island nearly establishment had signage stating they served Kona and/or Hawaiian coffee, but nearly every establishment's coffee was absolutely awful. Seeing the location I fully expected them to phone in the coffee, but it's clear that coffee comes first here, even if many of the guests are trying to get pastries! You'll be shocked by the line, but just know the staff is efficient and it moves fast. They offer a variety of their own locally roasted beans here, with options for batch brew, espresso drinks and even pour overs (impressive considering the volume of customers). The coffees are well described and the baristas have the additional knowledge you may be seeking when you order, and all in all this went as quickly as I could have expected. Truly, the coffee was delightful, and the fact I was drinking a hot drink on an extremely hot day didn't even phase me. I wanted so badly to bring home a bag of each one, but given that everything is more expensive in Hawaii, these were all 4x the price of the specialty coffee I buy on the mainland and I just couldn't make it happen. What will happen is me telling everyone to visit this shop when they're in Hawaii because it is 100% worth it. Won't you consider opening one in Reno NV?

This can't be Kona coffee, and if it was, they don't know how to brew it. Terribly horrible, really expensive coffee. Don't bother.

There's parking in their structure (scan QR code in the cafe to register your license plate #), plenty of seating inside (upstairs/downstairs), and WiFi if you plan on doing work. My go-to drink as of recently has been their Kulolo Crunch Latte. I also loved their Coconut Cloud Matcha -- they use Wai Koko coconut water! For the most part, people in the shop are doing work and being productive so it's not too overstimulating like many coffee shops I've been to.

So of course I got the "KULOLO CRUNCH LATTE" but sad to say ima have to give this a 4/10. It just tasted like a regular coffee with crunch. I really tried hard to get that taste of the kulolo but I didn't. I also let my mom & daughter try & they didn't taste any kulolo.
