Tea Time Hawaii - Hilo

Love it, always good. I can’t decide which is my favorite because all the drinks I’ve tried are delicious.

Boba is delicious! Trust your barista! If you are not sure what to order, they will help you. Very tasty little spot offering coffee and tea drinks alike.

Super cute store! I feel like they have more potential to become a really cute boba cafe but majority of the space inside is used for snacks and merchandise you can purchase sort of like a convenience store, which isn't a bad thing, but I feel is a bit overwhelming. It wasn't busy and the service was fast. I had ordered the Taro Milk Tea with large boba and my husband had ordered the Original Milk Tea with large boba. When I took my first sip, I got some undissolved taro milk tea powder. I mixed it in hopes it would dissolve, but it was fairly very grainy throughout the whole time I was drinking it. It was very milky, I didn't really get much taro flavor. On the bright side, the boba was good, soft and chewy. My husband's Original Milk Tea was better than mine. He said it was a little too milk forward for him, but you could taste the tea. Boba again, was good. They definitely have a lot of potential, just needs some tweaks here and there. I'd give them another try again sometime down the line.

Friendly staff, huge tea selection along with some ono goodies!

I'm sort of a boba fanatic. So I got pretty excited when I saw this new shop open up. Ambiance is super cute, definitely seems like a tea shop, lots of different teas to purchase on shelving. Also some crystal displays. Some other little snacks and cute stuffed boba drinks. Reason for 2 stars the drinks were really just average. I only saw powders, which I'm able to Purchase and make from home which our family does, often . The drinks were incredibly milky, I really just tasted cow milk with a hint of our flavors. Also the powders were detectable in the drink, grainy like. Had a hard time finishing mine, which never happens to me. We may be back for cute tea gifts, but not back for drinks boba, we will stick to our other Hilo favorites for that. There wasn't anyone in the shop when we arrived. We weren't really greeted until we approached the counter to order, and our cashier was very quiet, not super personable. Would hope for a more friendly outgoing person running the front end.
