BoTea
919 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu, HI
Crema's Take
“BoTea is a hidden gem where Richard and Ty craft everything from scratch, including their signature homemade brown sugar boba that's become a revelation for customers seeking clean ingredients without preservatives. Beyond traditional boba, they're getting creative with unexpected pairings like their Grilled Cheese & Boba—a sweet-salty textural triumph—while their Kauai Coffee drinks showcase the care they put into every layer, from freshly made tapioca to silky cream foam on top. This is the kind of spot where the owners' warmth matches the quality of their work, making it worth seeking out whether you're a boba devotee or someone discovering why these drinks matter when made with intention.”

Huge MAHALO to Richard and Thai at BoTea Honolulu! Our organization reached out to them for the drop off catering as we were hosting a boba event for our colleagues. They went above and beyond to make our event feel special and welcoming! We got the Party Pack Three and they put all the boba and milks in the cutest carages and containers. It was all labeled and easy for people to see what tea and milk options were available. The boba itself was so warm and delicious! So many people gave compliments on how fresh it was! They even created a customized menu for our events and were able to put logos on it for us! Overall we had an amazing experience with BoTea and would highly recommend them for parties and events! Mahalo nui Richard and Thai!
This was my first time trying their boba and it was GOOD! The sleeper surprise is the Original Grilled Cheese & Boba. So good texturally, sweet and salty! Highly recommend a try and I'll get it again!
My first time visiting Homemade Brown Sugar Boba. An amazing experience!! I had the Kauai Coffee and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend coming by and seeing Richard and Ty and try everything on the menu!
Their boba drinks are phenomenal. Freshly made boba, great tasting tea and then that cream foam. Dang! Totally recommend
I quit boba after committing to a health journey swearing off anything with preservatives and chemicals. I haven’t found any homemade boba spots until now and they taste amazing. Not just the boba itself but the tea and flavors together. Not too sweet and doesn’t make you feel guilty after drinking!!
