Sama Sama

Love love love this place! I've been so excited to see Sama Sama's rapid expansion in 2024 to a storefront at Leeward Community College and now nearby HPU. I've been a fan of their pandan green tea with pandan jelly, boba, and edible glitter since their food truck days. Want to try a $15 boba? Load. It. Up. You can glitter even the brownest of drinks and make it sparkle like mud glistening in the sun. So delish and so posh!

I've seen this business at almost every food truck event I've been to but just never tried it. I finally got the chance when they were at the most recent food truck event for HGEA which is near my job downtown. I did visit them towards the ending of the event so unfortunately by the time I placed my order they had run out of boba. I ordered a small original milk tea with leche flan which is not something I would normally order but decided to give it chance since I wanted a topping. I don't know if it was the leche flan or the actual milk tea but this was probably one of the best drinks I've had in a while. It was not overly sweet and was the perfect cold treat on a warm day. I'll definitely be returning the next time I see them.

Ordered their Halo Halo from a pop up event in Mililani where they was at. Pretty good and aesthetically pleasing. Curious about their other drinks; Halo halo was good and they put red beans inside and boba which I thought was different and unique.

I've seen the Sama Sama truck at many events I've been too, and have always wanted to try them out! I'm so glad I finally did, at the summer event at Calvery Chapel Aiea.I love that you can pretty much customize your entire drink! I ordered a 24oz Buko Pandan Milk Tea with Boba & Halo halo inside. Not only did it treat amazing, but it was sooo refreshing in such a hot day!There was a small line when I went to order, but the person working the window was super friendly and helpful, there were a few people asking questions. Regardless of the line, service was fast and I got my drink quickly, and made really good. I'll definitely stop by again the next time I see the truck out, for sure!

The taste is inconsistent from the first time I had it. They said there's supposed to be jackfruit in there, but there was no fruit whatsoever

If anyone is trying to find it, it's in the Leeward Community College Learning Commons building *picture down below That place is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend for boba lovers to try it out! They have Filipino drink flavors! It's something you can't find in other places. I have been trying all of them and it's so good because they put fresh fruit inside. The boba texture is very good! They also sell some very delicious sweets like cheesecake and ube flavors, scones, spam musubi's.They sell such cute reusable bamboo glass cups with a bamboo boba straw that are I believe $20 and get a 10% discount on your drink when you bring it back! They have absolutely cute designs that are made by Filipino artists too!They are absolutely so friendly and helpful especially when choosing the flavors. Also they have super cute tables and chairs to sit and do your work. I love getting my studies done there.

I tried their Milk Tea at the Kaka'ako Night Market and it was really great! They were super nice and the cheese cap was a great touch - I'm hoping to try them next time I find them at an event on O'ahu - Miguel Morales Photography

So much love for Sama Sama! Whenever I go to LCC I usually make a stop at Sama Sama for their Ube Latte. The coffee tastes really good and the ube flavor is also on point. The people there are always really nice and pretty fast. Cute cafe spot inside the library and you can also drink your drink inside the library study area.

I went to Sama Sama and got the Leches Flan Milk Tea! It was very creamy and the boba was soft and chewy. My server Branna Masako was nice and fast. My drink was ready in 1 minute! The store is cute and decorated. I will be coming back next year when I fly to Oahu!

My server name Branna. Branna drew a poop on my Leche Flan drink. She is good, very fast, and nice. They keep this place clean and pretty. I love the modern brown color. I will come back in two years from Japan. Thank you so much, Sama Sama's Branna!
