Hula Boba is conveniently located close to the freeway, making it the perfect spot to grab a drink. Before heading to the Ko'Olina lagoons, I wanted to grab some iced tea to cool down. [Ambiance] this tea shop is in a small space, with no seating, so prepare to take your drinks and snacks to-go. In addition to tea and smoothies, they also offer an entire wall of assorted snacks. When it comes to drinks, I love how everything is customizable: base (green, black) flavor, sweetness level, and toppings. I chose the following drink: * Base - black tea, flavor - Li Hing Mui. It was so refreshing and delicious. The black tea was brewed strong, unlike other popular tea spots that often serve watered- down iced tea. [Service] excellent! There were 2 employees and it only took them a couple of minutes to make our drinks. Prices are affordable - it was only $5.25 for my small drink. Overall: 5-stars!
Cute little boba shop in Kapolei with solid drinks! We were out shopping when we had a craving for a refreshing drink. Hula Boba was tucked between a couple other eateries which all share a decently sized parking lot. What I like about this boba shop is its customized setup. I was able to customize my iced tea with a choice of base (black tea, green tea, etc) and a choice of up to two flavors. I chose pineapple and li hing mui. You can also choose your sweetness and ice levels. The only knock that I have was that my drink was still very sweet despite getting 25% sweetness. It was still very delicious and refreshing regardless! The shop also sells a variety of snacks for reasonable prices. We ended up getting various types of mochi to take home with us!
Thank you Hula Boba for satisfying my ube shake craving. Off topic, Jack-in-the Box had a ube/cookies n cream shake. It was junk as it was too sweet. I was honestly bummed...when I saw Hula Boba's "Ube monster" drink, I HAD to get it. The ube monster was everything I wanted it to be! I'm so happy I tried it! For a while, I debated about it and wondered about its hype on Yelp..I'm so lolo for not trying it earlier! It's sooo good! You can taste the ube and it's not too sweet either. I've stopped by a few times and service is always awesome. I like that the shop has other Asian snacks. Location: its in the same shopping area as Chun wah Kam. There's a lot of parking and easy to get to. Though there's other boba places in the area, Hula Boba is my favorite.
How have I never wrote a review for here before?! This is my go to spot for boba whenever I'm on the west side. I love their green tea with a fruity flavor like mango or peach. The one thing I really like about this place is the different toppings you can get. I especially like the mini boba, custard and rainbow jelly. There is also a bunch of snacks you can purchase too. Service is always quick and friendly.
Decent prices, friendly service, and very cute cups :) I got a strawberry lychee tea, and I love how you can mix flavors (I believe up to 3). They have an assortment of toppings to put into your drink, but I just got lychee jelly, rainbow boba, and regular boba. I would definitely come back if in the area :)
I wanted an iced tea drink. I wasn't wanting boba at the moment because my daughter and I just ate at a sushi place. I decided to get a lychee green iced tea with 50% sugar. This drink was good. I finished my drink pretty quickly as I was thirsty. My daughter didn't see anything she wanted. They also offer smoothies but I guess my daughter has her go to. The guy helping me was nice and very efficient. He welcomed me in. It wasn't busy around the time we came. The inside was clean and very organized however I didn't hear any music if I remembered correctly. Plenty of parking up front as we parked directly in front of the boba place. I was actually surprised they had snacks to purchase as well. I definitely will come back here if I'm in the area.
I was craving boba on my way to the post office and noticed Hula Boba. The reviews and photos looked intriguing so I decided to stop in. There were two gentleman working. The man that took my order was a little frazzled, I'm not sure why. I didn't know what I want and he kept saying huh? Like I was talking and I wasn't. I ended up just getting the macadamia milk tea with 50% sweetness and regular boba. The inside was clean, lots of Asian snacks to choose from and a large menu of drinks. The drink was made fast as I was the only person there, and it tasted good. The boba was ok. Some of them were hard but I didn't eat the majority because they were all stuck together in a giant blob at the bottom of my drink. Not bad but I've had better. I didn't see this Ube Monster or whatever people were raving about.
Finally time to leave Hula Boba a review because I have never really been a "boba lover" until I sampled my son's Ube Monster a few weeks ago. Omg that thing is to die for - DEEEELICIOUS!! My wife has been frequenting Hula Boba for yearzzzz. So much so, that when she goes in, they already know her order and she's always greeted and thanked so genuinely. I know that makes her feel extra special lol! (She's a dork like that) Hula Boba should be the 'go-to' for those who have a dying urge for boba, but don't wanna spend more than $10 each (like at Infinitea). Here, you not only have a wide range of delicious drinks and smoothies to choose from, but they also include up to 3 toppings per drink for $5.50 for a small and $6.00 for a large. Definitely a bargain for treats these days. In addition to the cold drinks, they have a store full of local style snacks and Asian goodies. Hope you like it!
After a nice day of fun in Kapolei and initially stopping into Cash n Carry to go "treasure hunting", we were informed by the nice employee there that Cash n Carry had relocated their snacks section to their other location of Hula Boba. This new location was easy to find right in downtown Kapolei. After purchasing a few random things from Cash n Carry we were back n on the road looking for Hula Boba. Super easy to find, Hula Boba is located in the same strip mall as Chin Wah Kam on Farrington Highway. While the shop is not very big, it is more than a fun Asian and local snack shop with great prices. I walked in murmuring under my breath "is that right...only $1 for two packages of that"?!? After the two of us each gathered a basket full of treasures and waited in line to pay, the newest customer who just walked in the door asked me, "is that right?!? That over there is only $1 for two?!? Couldn't help but think, is this deja vu? After leaving, went back in for a refreshing iced tea. At only $5.50 each and 50c for the add on aloe, lychee jelly, coffee jelly, etc... you may want to get two drinks like I did! Remember to get a drink punch card as a soon to be loyal customer! Was a nice and refreshing drink to keep me company on the drive back to Honolulu!
