Crema's Take
“Nestled in Waimea, Tea O'Clock is a boba lover's sanctuary where the owners handcraft every element of their drinks with meticulous care, from silky-smooth matcha to perfectly chewy boba that keeps locals and island visitors returning again and again. The warm, approachable team is genuinely present and invested in getting your order exactly right, making each visit feel like a personal experience rather than a quick transaction. Whether you're catching them at their brick-and-mortar shop or their farmers market mobile truck, this is the kind of place that elevates a simple tea break into something worth planning your day around.”

if you are in the BIG ISLAND, make sure to visit Tea O’Clock. BEST BOBA and Definitely The BeST coffee on the Island The owners are attentive and are always at the shop, very approachable and friendly
A boba lover's dream come true. Each time we visit the Big Island, my partner and I ensure that we go to Tea O'Clock. Unique among bubble tea stores, Tea O'Clock handcrafts their boba and creates their fruity drinks using real fruit. Tea O'Clock's passion and attention to detail is unparalleled. Their classic milk tea is my favourite, but I also love their banana-foam matcha milk tea. Thank you, Tea O'Clock!
I stopped by this boba shop during my vacation on the Big Island, and it was such a great experience! The staff member who helped us was incredibly patient and friendly. He adjusted my drink exactly how I like it without any hesitation and even gave us some awesome recommendations on places to check out around the island. It really felt like he loved what he does and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed both our drinks and our trip. Highly recommend stopping by! great service, great vibes, and delicious boba! 🌺🧋
We absolutely love Tea o’clock !! Since we live kona side I always look forward to coming down for the farmers market to enjoy their drinks from their mobile truck. It’s always a special treat ! When I saw that they opened up a shop I was over the moon happy! I don’t have to wait for our once a month visit anymore! I had no idea they’ve been open now for a couple years !! Their place is so clean and cute and comfortable. The drinks .. all the drinks are the best, made from fresh quality ingredients. Ofcorse Matcha Kiss is my absolute favorite. This time I enjoyed the visit with my sons and we had so much fun playing games they had available. We stayed for over an hour just enjoying eachother company laughing and taking story with the sweet owners who gave the boys their attention as they asked different questions about the drinks. Mom and son dates are important to me so being able to just relax and enjoy our time was the best. We will be coming back more regularly for sure !! Thank you guys for making our ohana feel welcomed! If you haven’t already it’s worth the drive Whether you stay in or mobile order or just to go you’ll love it !!
I wasn’t expecting such FREAKING AWESOME boba drinks in Waimea but they were spectacular. What makes them so good? The boba was perfectly soft fresh and chewy. The matcha was smooth and not bitter. The presentation was so pretty with all the layers and the food was good too. The people working were so friendly and you can order online so everything was ready when we got there.
