Milky Way Hawaii

I'm not too sure why I believe they use to serve their Snow ice on a plate or bowl - but it kind of irritated me I guess that it's in a cup - feel like it's not really worth the price you pay but everyone is different. It was good but you might as well order a boba drink instead of the snow ice in my opinion. But what really pissed me off is I felt like I was scammed. They had a new claw machine inside and I'm a sucker for claw machines. I read it said "two coins to play" thinking it was $0.50 a game. I went to my car and got $1.50 but I needed to exchange for a quarter since I used dimes & nickels. The cashier after exchanging it told me, "sorry but it doesn't take coins only bills." So I figured alright if it's broken then I'll get a dollar bill. In my head thinking at least I'll get the automatic 2 plays. I go to put my dollar in and the machine says 1/2 coins. I tried to see if I could push a button to get a refund. Nope. So I ended up having to put another bill in since I didn't wanna miss out on a $1. I just wish they put a sign like other machines that said $2 a play or $1 a play yadda yadda. The cashier saw how much I had for the machine and could've easily told me that it was $2 a play. On another note the store is small and cute , but the parking is absolutely horrible depending when you go.

Nice little place in the middle outskirts of the city. Quiet dessert place playing really mellow music where you can have a great conversation. The cashier/owner was really nice but kinda quiet, we complimented her on all the great decor inside the business. Will def come back and try more flavors, the shave ice is delicious and soft. My daughter's tea was mellow but also delicious.

A delicious and unique take on Hawaiian shave ice with boba drinks inspired flavors and kawaii decor! We stopped by Milky Way on the first day of our trip to Oahu after finding it online. This spot is known for its milk tea shave ice with brown sugar syrup and boba toppings, which is exactly what I ordered and it was so delicious! My daughter got the regular milk tea with boba, pretty much the same flavors without being in shave ice form. I preferred the shave ice version as it contrasted with the warm squishy boba toppings. My husband reeeeeally loved the shave ice that he shared with me and we were excited to go back again a couple of days after but found out they are closed on the weekend. There are Bible scriptures and quotes on the walls tying into the milk and honey theme which we also appreciated. The service was friendly and our order came out quick. The parking is limited in this plaza but we found a few open spaces. We will be back before our trip ends!

Fast service for my boba fix. Menu is slightly smaller than other boba shops but definitely a great option if you're in the Kalihi area. It's a small hole in the wall in a sharp parking lot but the ambiance is still "cute boba shop" vibes.

The Milky Way truck was at a craft fair event in Mililani. I got the mango snowthie, which I'm assuming is a combination of snow and a smoothie. I loved the consistency of the snow. It was pretty light, but went well with the thickness of the mango smoothie. It was super refreshing for a hot day. I thought it was weird that a straw was given for this since the snowthie is on the thicker side. I was definitely struggling to eat it, but I went home after and got a spoon there.

Parking lot was a little cramped this morning. Totally worth it to sit in AC and plug-in

Inside of the establishment was ok. We ordered milky tea with pudding, milky teas with boba, mango snowthie, and lemon black tea. Drinks was ok I'd give. 2.5/5. Mango snowthie was the best out of all! 5/5 recommend.

Refreshing drinks and beverages in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii...My friends and I had lunch nearby, so, we decided to visit this relatively new shop. I've been to the Milky Way Food Truck in Kaka'ako and am so happy for them that they have a Brick and Mortar location now! I saw and read that my friend, Irene, went here. I made it a point to go to Milky Way's new store!Parking is shared with San Nicholas (the chicharon and sausage place). The parking stalls are labeled with the business' names, so, be careful of where you park. (I actually parked at the church down the street - I was quick!)Inside, Milky Way has cute decor, indoor dining, and fantastic air conditioning! Service was efficient and polite.I got the Winter melon Tea (non-dairy) with Rainbow Jelly. It was perfect - not too sweet and not too watery, but just right!I'll be back because they have a Loyalty system! Just enter your phone number onto the tablet! Enjoy!

HappTEAness is when they have your favorite tea!You can't miss and resist their vibrant and fun artsy truck in Kaka'ako and when they found a permanent home in Kalihi you know I was so excited knowing I'm able to get my fix at my schedule.Yes it's in Kalihi hiding right behind San Nicolas and there are a few parkings though many are reserved by the specific business on this visit it was quite challenging to find the right one and the uneven pavement has me weaving to my destination.Walking in I did like the vibe here with the fun neon "Milky Way" sign surrounded by clouds and though the decor is simple each corner had it's own little sitting nook to enjoy your sip or get some work done.Their menu is what really makes them special with from basic tea of black, green and my favorite "Winter Melon", then it's their Snowthie which is their smoothie topped with shaved ice which they also have a Snow Tea where instead of smoothie it's with Tea.Another fun item is their Snow Ice and they build it like a boba drink where my favorite is the Pineapple Snow Ice though on this day I was just mad craving for my favorite Winter Melon tea which was absolutely yummy!!! Topping it all over is yup their toppings...all at .50 is a bargain...- Amber Boba- Pudding- Grass Jelly- Lychee Jelly- Lemon Jelly- Rainbow Jelly- Coffee Jelly- AgarAll choices I absolutely LOVE which is pretty unusual and having my tea I couldn't resist having it with Lemon Jelly...why not I do love lemon with my tea lol! The lemon was very subtle but didn't take any tea flavor way in fact was just so refreshing it may be my new favorite way to enjoy my sip!!Milky Way thank you for my favorite sip you're simply tearrific it got me to slow down and just enjoy my personal time and that's positivitea!Thank you!

It's ok. Nothing special. The physical location is in a questionable area. Way too religious for a drink shop.
