When you first walk in, you notice all of the little trinkets you can buy. Super cute and affordable. The workers weren't as attentive when we came and ordering was a bit of an inconvenience for the worker that had to take my order because he was working on making drinks. We ordered 2 of the different ice creams they offered. Their choices weren't that big. I also asked for just ice cream but the worker said they don't offer that. That's unfortunate. Overall they do have good desserts and drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is pretty chill and there are tables and chairs for you to sit down and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This has been our 3-4 time here?

The Milktea Way - M&M - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Ube Oreo smoothie with cheese foam is The Way Except that this location they used extract and Ube ice cream vs their Wahiawa location that uses extract and REAL UBE. It makes the world of difference in flavor and texture. Maybe it was just a one off, idk Also, they have these super cute covers, but they have a plug type opening for the straw, and the cheese foam was overfilled so it splooged in my car I normally wouldn't complain about getting anything extra, but there's no way to get the cup open or put the straw in without making a mess when the liquid inside is too full read more

The Milktea Way - Beware of this cap - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I ordered the Pina Colada smoothie. It was ok but I've had better. I love the cup it comes in as it has a cool porthole that you can open and close for when kids ride in the car. I believe with tax it came to $8.32 but the hard plastic cup probably is partly the reason. The service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and plenty of tables to sit and eat at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had great music playing which gave it a nice vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would give it another try with a different choice as they have so many. They also sell various kinds of seeds and cool gadgets too. It's in the video I provided below. read more

Shopping in Waimalu Shopping Center in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... We were actually looking at the Blind Boxes here at The Milktea Way. It used to be S7 Icy Bubble. They must have changed their business name because I see my previous review and photos here. The menu looks like it hasn't changed. The merchandise is still cute! There are tote bags, pens, plushies, crack seed in jars, Labubus in glass display cases, and more! Take a look! Service was efficient and polite! (I got some cute pens!) Thanks for the free parking and wonderful air conditioning! read more

The Milktea Way - Taro Rolled Ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Easy ordering via Door dash- They also had a great deal on milk tea so I took advantage of that on the app- it was BOGO. Service: I didn't really interact with the staff since I ordered easily through the Door Dash app and picked it up in store, but otherwise, the order was ready as estimated on the app. Drink(s): Flavor was on point - not too sweet or overly milky. I added the brulee foam on top and added boba to the milk tea. The boba was warm and soft, which was really to my liking. Like most folks, I don't like it when the boba is hard and chewy. My only gripe about this location is that the parking can be a little tricky even though it's in a big plaza. There are big establishments near by and parking can get full quickly. In addition, the parking spots are very tight/tiny. read more

The Milktea Way - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

There is literally a S7 everywhere now!!! I'm not mad about it because I love that they have varieties instead of just Bobas and smoothies. Like the bubble waffles and the ice cream rolls and at this location, they had some pickled mango in the fridge and other pretty good snacks too! I bought some pickled mango and we bought some lemon peel li hing mui candy We also was able to get our Boba fix. Our son got his smoothie fix and I got my dessert fixed with the bubble waffle. Love that we all got our fix in one store and left it with more snacks!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have the cutest environment with so many cute things that they sell from toys, kitchen stuff and little trinkets for the kids and adults too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have some seating areas with some games you can play. Me and my family played a few games while waiting for our order to be ready.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What makes this place great, is it's in a great location with other food areas so we came after eating dinner somewhere else and had dessert here. The parking is pretty good and is shared with a lot of businesses in the area so we'll definitely come again when we're in the area having dinner or whenever we're craving something sweet! The service here is pretty quick the wait wasn't too long when we came on a Sunday evening. read more

A classic staple in Hawaii! We've been to their different locations, specifically the one in Aiea, and it does not disappoint! Great boba drinks and a huge variety of snacks to choose from.

This new location is definitely convenient for boba runs now! So glad another Icy Bubble opened up near home. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe here fees very modern and chic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do have the usual goods in the side that you can browse and purchase which is one of the reason they got so big. They do serve ice cream rolls so you know we had to get one. We got the usual banana Nutella with extra Nutella ice cream rolls and we got a sunrise surprise to drink. The staff asked if we wanted a large or small size and we went with large. The menu is still the same and honestly does not need any work to it. The ice cream rolls came out quick and it was perfect. There was a lot of Nutella in every bite. The sunrise surprise had freshly squeezed orange juice and not pre made. Staff are friendly and prices aren't that bad. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you enjoy the things icy bubble sells. read more

Being able to serve consistently awesome milk tea drinks is the reason this is my favorite milk tea franchises in Hawai'i. I used to drive to Pearl City for them until they moved to this location. Will drive wherever if they have a S7 Icy Bubble. The added bonus is that this location also has crack seed, pickeled mango, smoke squid, cotton candy, shaved ice, the way I like it, waffle cones, school supplies, etc. Just stop in, you're bound to find something you like. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Furniture could use some cleaning though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been unlucky with milk tea places. The other business I went to had a hair stuck to a boba. Now this milk tea place gave me spoiled milk tea. I'm feeling unwell. I took only 1 small sip and that small sip made me nauseated and I now have blurry vision. I'm not joking. I don't feel good right now read more

So this was my first taste of Icy Bubble. My kids say this is their best had a bad day date spot. Makes every day so much better! Tasty, cold yummy! Shaved ice too! Worth going to! read more

Old Asian lady. Possibly the manager was very rude and unfriendly when I asked a simple question about whether their milk tea has dairy in it because I am lactose intolerant and if they had any dairy substitute. Her English is not very good and looked irritated when I asked a simple question. I guess you guys like messing up people's stomachs. Also, it was overpriced. $8.00 for an icy bubble which is just sparkling water and fruit inclusions. She asked if I wanted to add any toppings. Hell no. I'm already paying $8.00 for water with a hint of flavor. read more

Love the drinks but the service at this location sucks. These young people have no customer service skills.

This review is for the bubble waffle icecream. The waffle was not cooked well all the way and kind of mushy with the icecream. We've had bubble waffle icecream before and this was disappointing. Plus it took a long time getting it which I understand because they have to make the waffle. However, the girl who was working there never mentioned anything to us as we stood there waiting confused making sure they didn't forget us. It took over 20 minutes. I wish she would've told us not to worry. Maybe we will try the drinks next time instead. read more

Yah idk what happened since I left but for whatever reason s7 as a whole somehow fell off since I left and came back. Idk how you did that riding the covid high and somehow almost circling the drain 3 years and change later. Also while I love the expanded crackseed I didn't like the smaller menu as this is the smallest of the 3 locations and tis one in particular was the worst of the 3 I've had since returning. I ordered a peach blush and what was normally a solid choice was somehow watered down to nothing. Could barely taste the peach flavor and the blush which is normally a refreshing drink was more flat than not. Perhaps they were swamped all day and didn't have time to check since they were semi packed when I went but still that's bad enough. I love s7 as a whole but yall not doing urselves much favors. read more

"Boba Manifesto (Official Music Video)" - Chris Fleming We put in our order and waited and waited and waited, at one time we thought they put our order on the counter but they didn't call it out, so we ignored it. Some guy walked into the store, swiped the drinks and just walked out. The people behind the counter were like, hey, was that THE guy? And we were like, hey, was that OUR drinks?? After waiting some more ridiculous minutes, I asked them where our drinks were. They said they think the guy that walked in took them...maybe by mistake. We had to wait some more for our order. It was good, but maybe not so good, especially having to wait and wait and wait and no one noticing that we were just standing there. Two drinks were like $11.00 total with tax. Return factor: unlikely due to un-wow factor. read more

I and my husband use to go S7 Icy Bubble in Pearl City. When we found the Pearl City location closed, we saw the sign they were going to move new location, more close our neighborhood! We ordered through Uber Eats, but choose for pick up. It was very easy and when our order is ready we got the notification. My husband ordered A Cai Milk Tea and I ordered Cloud Mango. We got a notification for ready our order(earlier than expected) and went to pick up. Located in a Waimalu Shopping Center, that's mean many parking spaces. Got inside, feels like bigger than old location, but you can see lots of staff both side of walls. Some tables and chairs, so you can dine in. We got our drinks, came in a cute cooler bag! (Anyway, if you order through Uber Eats -I'm not sure DoorDash or others- price is little bit higher than inside the store, but I understand that and no problem!) We love both drinks!!!! Their cheese form is sooooo good! Well, I saw the poster on the glass wall from outside. Bubble Waffle is Aiea exclusive!(there wasn't online menu) We gotta try Bubble Waffle next time!!! read more

They have a Dubai chocolate cup (and cheesecake) that is not shown on the menu but is on fliers in their store. I decided to try it out, only $10. It has Vanilla ice cream, strawberries, chocolate sauce, pistachio cream, whipped cream, and dried knafeh. I don't like my desserts too sweet so I ask for half scoop ice cream instead of the full scoop and it was so good! I finished the whole thing. The crispy dried knafeh is a nice texture contrast to the strawberries and ice cream. Would get again read more

Cute idea for a bubble drink spot but customer service is extremely subpar; when I walked in I was met with the infamous Gen Z " blank stare" and eye roll. No " hi welcome in!" was given. Immediately walked out after that. read more

I love all s7 locations! My favorite thing to order is the yike lemon tea with boba and no added whole lemon. They normally add the whole lemon into the cup and it just makes the drink have less because all the room being taken up from the lemon discard. I love how lemony and sour it is! They also sell a lot of cute and very cheap items. You can also look on their instagram on what new products they will carry! read more

I had just stopped at this little shopping plaza to get something from Palama when walking past this store, I saw the big sign for the bubble waffle, and my heart squeed. I told myself, after Palama, I would stop in for a bubble waffle. So I did. They make a great early afternoon snack. I tend to be traditional when it comes to these bubble waffles. I ordered the original. No frills on it. Hoping to get an eggy, aromatic crisp outside, yet soft inside. This waffle fell quite short from most of that. The outside was soft, almost soggy, despite having no toppings on it. The flavor itself was quite lacking. It didn't have much flavor of anything other than dough. It was unevenly cooked but cooked through. One side did have a bubble or two with the crisp exterior, but the rest was limp. It was also coming apart. It did not keep it's shape. The two sides of the bubble separated. Service was good. It was quite a wait for this waffle, but I came at the wrong time. They had about 18 drinks lined up on the counter in holders for what looked like a really big order that, at one point, two of them were focused on. I also ordered my usual Lychee blush with crystal boba. That was perfect. I will not be trying their bubble waffle again. That made me sad. read more

I was so excited when I saw that S7 Icy Bubble opened in Waimalu. S7 Icy Bubble is hands down one of my favorite boba shops. This location, in particular, is really cool because they serve Bubble Waffles! It's pretty spacious with lots of tables and chairs for dine-in. It's also neat because they have the usual Icy Bubble toys and stuff AND variety of crack seed. I felt that they were expensive, but I also haven't been to a crack seed store in forever so I can't tell if they were; however, it could also be affordable so if somebody knows, then please let me know! Lol! I wanted to get a drink and didn't feel like drinking my usual drink, so I tried something new. Bad idea. I tried the Aloha Taro ($5.79) since it's popular and hated it. It's "special" milk with taro pieces, but to me, it felt like I was only drinking milk. I also thought the taro pieces would be blended into the milk, but it's literally chunks of taro at the bottom. I hated it so much that I dumped it after the first sip. I should've just got what I know and love. My sister got the Strawberry Banana Smoothie ($6.59), which was way better than the Aloha Taro. We shared the Oreo Bubble Waffle ($8.50), which was the best thing we had. The bubble waffle was chewy and soft. The one complaint I had about the bubble waffle was that it was hard to eat out of a cup. Maybe it would be easier to eat in a bowl or a wider cup? It was difficult to eat without getting your hands messy because of the ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup, but overall, it was a yummy dessert, and I'd order it again I just wish it had one more scoop of ice cream because we ate that quick LOL. As for service, there was an unhappy female employee. She made me feel unwelcome. No hello, no smile, nothing. Personally I just don't like that feeling when an employee doesn't know how to greet a customer, but I think I feel that way because I've worked in retail for 8 years and it's a big pet peeve of mines when employees can't even acknowledge you with a smile. HOWEVER, I did stop by a second time and had a much nicer male cashier who at least greeted me with a hello. I actually ordered my usual Honeydew Milk Tea ($5.59) with custard pudding ($0.55) and boba ($0.55) and an Original Bubble Waffle ($6.00). The Honeydew Milk Tea upset my stomach a little bit as the custard tasted a bit funny... but I just brushed it off and drank it and avoided the custard. Lol. The original bubble waffle was a great treat to get with my drink. This location is nice, spacious, and pretty clean. Parking can be a bit of a challenge because it is located in Waimalu Shopping Center, and depending on what time you go, parking can be terrible. Other than that, this location seems to match the other Icy Bubbles on this island, but what makes it stand out is the CRACK SEED AND BUBBLE WAFFLES! read more
