Teapresso Bar - Keeaumoku

When you're in the mood for that boba drink while in town, come check out Teapresso Bar Keeaumoku!We actually went to the shop around 9:00pm after a dinner for a late dessert drink. There's parking in the shopping plaza, but I recommend going there a little bit earlier to make sure you get parking if going there during the day.The shop itself has a more urban vibe to it with hanging lights and exposed piping in the ceiling. Bar stools & ledges wrapping around the walls.This teapresso location is offering their new yogurt series w/ purple rice. I was feeling adventurous & got their ube yogurt & added large bobas & & lychee jelly, in which the purple rice provides a chewy & sweet yet slight tangy drink experience.Thank you for the recommendation Stan! Come check them out today!

This is a 3.5 review. Came to get our boba fix after Walmart run. Was a bit late and this was one of the shops that opened late and since we loved TEAPRESSO in Wahiawa, we figured we give this a shot.Walked in, had 3 young ladies working. Ordered 4 Smoothies with boba. I totally forgot to tell them the sweetness level I wanted and no one bothered to ask. I guess it's my fault. So not deducting for that. Anyway, I ordered 4 drinks, but no one got started on making them till I paid and got my receipt. I knew it would be a long wait since it's 4 smoothies. But it did take longer than expected. I walked out and waited by my car and when I got back it still wasn't ready or maybe it was and it was just sitting on counter? A few mins later, my order was ready and 3 of the 4 smoothies were not really smoothies as I guess from the wait it had melted. When I got to the car my husband asked if it was a smoothie cause it seemed watery. So I'm not sure if it was from it being on the counter for a bit long. Anyway, deducted 1.5 stars for quality of the drink and for service + price. I spent $38 for 4 drinks which I thought was pricy for boba smoothies. $0.85 for boba is pretty hefty. Don't know if I'll be back again as I have never ever spent that much on 4 smoothies with boba in my life. I just bought 4 the other day from another boba shop and I spent $27 for the same size and same drinks. Gave the shop 3.5 for being open late and convenience as well as the ambiance of the place was nice. Nice decor and cleanliness.

I tried the Matcha Latte Milk Tea ($6.99) with large boba (+$0.85), and honestly, I wouldn't get it again. You can adjust the sweetness level in 25% intervals, and I chose 25% sweetness, hoping the matcha flavor would come through more. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The matcha flavor was very light and didn't stand out--it kind of tasted like slightly flavored milk.That said, the boba itself was soft, chewy, and satisfying, and the portion size was generous, so there were some positives. In general, I prefer a stronger matcha flavor, so this drink didn't hit the mark for me. Overall, I'd rate the Matcha Latte MT drink in particular 1/5 stars.However, I wouldn't write off the whole menu based on this one drink. I've had their standard milk teas before, and those are consistently good--you really can't go wrong with them. Because of that, I'd bump my overall rating up by 2 stars, as this experience doesn't reflect the quality of their entire menu.The store itself has a cute, cozy ambiance, with counter seating lining the walls, making it a nice spot to relax for a bit. The baristas were quick and friendly, which was a plus.For parking, there are a few stalls available in the LikeLike Drive Inn square, but they fill up quickly, and it can be tricky to maneuver out of certain spots. If you're visiting during busy hours, just keep that in mind.

I usually get the signature milk tea, but I tried the Hong Kong milk tea and it was delicious! At 25% sweetness with almond milk (for lactose intolerance, of course), it was a solid drink! If you like k-pop, they're blasting it away in there!

This Teapresso is located next to Yogustory, at 745 Keeaumoku St. Suite 102. It's a small establishment with a colorful interior and limited stool type seating. Primarily for take out orders. The place is decorated with adorable cups and stuffed bubble tea mascots for sale. See pictures. The staff was helpful in answering questions I had about the variety of drinks they made. I ended up ordering a crème brûlée with boba milk tea. It cost $8.00. I ordered it half sweet and it was still on the sweet side for me. The place was quaint and it had a lot of things around the space. You can even sign up for points if you visit any Teapresso. 10/15/23

Spiling the tea on this location...Love it when you can just drive up right beside the door for some tea, and that's what this location offers considering they're right in the midst of busy Ke'eaumoku in the complex formerly occupied by Like Like as the nostalgic sign still stands proud on the corner of Ke'eaumoku and Kanunu Street and that's where you know you're there just pull in the driveway and it will be on your left.I do love their quite roomy space which it didn't really expect though with all that room they don't have much seating but are happy to have few available, the decor is quite on the simple side having more of their logo cups on the back wall shelves to fill up the space as there's no wall art like you see at other location...though their cups here are quite different from most places as they have that venti cups we're familiar at other competitors, but it's their frosted can glass ware that's stunning on that clearly expresses some Hawaiian vibe with the floral print the other with a surfing bunny which I do love both...wondering how I'd look with a full glass of freshly brewed tea.Speaking of tea it was the usual Pink Dragon Hibiscus that's my current obsession and it has all the yummies of it all with coconut milk and it's sure pretty I must say lol...cheers!Thank you!

Tea quality tasted aromatic! My friend got a matcha drink & I tasted and had to get some myself. Loved my matcha flavor & I see why it says it's Hawaii's Best!

Being lactose intolerant sucks since I cant have milk tea but they have great tea options and creative tasting ones too! I got a jasmine lavender tea with boba, 25% sweetness and it was perfect! It gave me the right pick me up for the afternoon to push through the rest of my work day! It can get surprisingly busy here so if you notice a few people inside, be prepared to wait! There's lots of boba places in this area but hey, if there's a line in here..it must be for a reason right?!

Plaza parking availableCame across this shop since it was walking distance from the Walmart couple blocks up Kudos for being open a tad later ~ 11pmStaff is super sweet Marcarons, reusable metal straws, tumblers, and several other baked goods are available for saleIced Assam Tea, add Lavender flavor and Non-Dairy Creamer - it was good, pretty standard and at 100% sweet it was still a bit subtle (they don't use powder so not gonna complain haha) so next time I think I will go a bit higher for sweet. pearls were good, chewy with a nice bounceKuya has great relationship with this brand since he places a lot of large orders and he raves about them - that's enough for me in my book haha (yes, just a tad biased)I'll be back! Will probably try a different drank next time though

Since my last review, a couple more Teapresso locations have opened closer to my home, including one almost walking distance from me! For that reason and because many other small boba shops have opened up, I don't really go to this location anymore, even though I get my haircuts nearby. The small parking lot makes the trip more challenging. It's too bad that "less ice" also means less drink, and I've gotten used to other boba shops that truly highlight the tea flavor. I understand after a few years that the Hawaii market for boba is different than LA's San Gabriel Valley or NorCal's Bay Area (each with a larger Chinese American population) and I just have to accept that lol. Teapresso is like the Lollicup or Tapioca Express of Hawaii, and it's great that they're making boba more accessible to the West Side and Central Oahu. Teapresso is still great for offering a wide variety of tea leaves, tasty fruity iced teas, and their Teapresso Milk Tea. Since Teapresso is pretty much a small local chain, you know what you're ordering. Another plus is that Teapresso locations are open late night if you're craving boba that time of day!
