Coffee or Tea?

Consistent milk tea and boba texture. You will get the same drink every time you visit and that's what I love about this place. I like the oolong milk tea or jasmine green milk tea, you can taste the tea. It comes out to $6 something for a jumbo size with boba. They also have an option to get a gallon of boba and milk tea, great for parties!

Located in the Pearl Kai shopping center, Coffee or Tea offers a wide selection of drinks ranging from bubble tea and shakes to coffee. It's a possible study spot for those looking for a place that opens past 7 pm. Service and Ambiance. It is a casual place with 4-5 small tables that seat 1-3, so it may not fit larger groups. I did spot 1-2 wall outlets. The decoration is pretty simple but gets the job done. There is stable foot traffic, but most are grab-and-go, so I've never had an issue getting a sit-down table for quick work. There was only one worker the last 2 times I've visited, so service can be slow if there are a lot of workers. Price $$: Moderately priced drinks comparable to other coffee/boba shops (~$5-$8 ). There is, however, a minimum purchase of $10 to pay with the card, so either make a group order or have cash. They also have some snacks displayed for sale, but they seem to be a bit overpriced (you can probably get it cheaper at an Asian supermarket/Chinatown) Drinks/Food: Drinks are on the sweeter side, and many drinks can't be adjusted to below 50%, so I've stayed away from most of their pre-sweetened drinks (i.e., winter melon milk tea, honeydew milk tea, etc ). They don't have as many options as other boba places for those with dietary restrictions. Only limited drinks aren't premade to accommodate no-sugar or non-lactose milk options. Boba here is also presweetened in honey/sugar, so no drink can truly be 0% sugar. I've stuck to their original milk tea series (Asam, Jasmine, Oolong) for 0% sugar, and they were all pretty delicious. It's not my best, but it will satisfy my boba tea cravings while getting some work done.

This time the experience was alright. Only one worker and she was busy making and taking orders. Not employing workers might be one way to save money but the poor girl could've used another worker to help her. Ordered the Assam milk tea with boba 50% sweetness but the tea had no sweetness at all. It tasted like 0% sweetness. Luckily the boba was sweet. Not sure if I'll be back here.The mccully shopping center location is better. Never messed up on an order there.

Best matcha latte boba on the island bar none. Wow. Not too sweet, real earthy matcha. I'm ruined for anywhere else.

One of my favorite places for a classic Assam Milk Tea with boba. The tea is nice and smooth, subtly sweet and just perfect for my milk tea taste buds. There are some places that have milk teas tasting a little chocolatey IMO, but this place does it right. Their bobas are always soft and chewy and they have a stamp card :)! The lady helping me is super quick, got my drink in less than a minute...so fast haha Can't wait to come back again!

Check in offer doesn't apply to shakes, only for milk tea and tea.3.5 out of 5 starsWide selection of drinks. I love how their boba's texture and taste were spot-on. We tried the ube smoothie and the avocado smoothie. The fresh taro was good, full of flavor, and it's nice to know they had fresh taro and not just the artificial ube drink. But the avocado smoothie was pretty weak. When I received it in my hand, I looked at the color and already knew it would taste weak - there wasn't enough green in it, almost like a milky greenish color in the cup. I took a sip and confirmed it. There was a lot of milk or cream flavor more than avocado. Even though they used fresh avocado, there wasn't enough. The price was your average boba price. $7 for a medium and $8 for a large (their jumbo), but they do have an XL.The lady was friendly and the store was spacious and clean. It's mostly empty space with only a few tables by the wall so the shop probably expected people to just order takeout.

The ube float is amazing! Would definitely order again, and the price was not too bad considering you get scoops of ube ice cream in the drink. Lots of drink options on the menu in this small shop with limited seating. Service was nice. Big shared private parking lot with other businesses in the strip mall. Located makai of Pearlridge.

Best shave ice, milk tea, and coffee. My wife and I come here often. It's hard not to get the same thing because it is so good, but everything is so good. And reasonably priced. Friendly, quick, and yummy. Give it a go if you're over by Pearl Kai!

my first time at this establishment, I can not believe it's been at the Pearl Kai Shopping nine years now this café specializes is various coffees and teas with a twist of boba, which I enjoyed the iced peach green tea with boba large size costs $6.50 which is comparable to other coffee shops but not as crowded as others I'll definitely be back to try a desert with my tea

Visited Nov 18 around 10:45am. Was greeted by a nice lady, and she had our drinks out within a few minutes. Hats off to her, especially when she appeared to be running the shop alone at the time! The drinks were very good, and I loved the ube float! I liked that the mocha frappe had a stronger coffee flavor and not just sugar like how other frappes from other places taste. She loaded my float UP with soft and tasty boba. The store gave off a very comfortable feel with several tables to sit at if you're not in a rush to go anywhere. I work at a shop similar to this one but I gotta admit, I like Coffee or Tea's drinks better. Shhh... I can't be caught out here praising the competition... 10/10!!!
