Kauai Partea
2600 Kaumualii Hwy, Lihue, HI
Crema's Take
“Kauai Partea blends Hawaii's relaxed island vibe with creative specialty drinks that go beyond the usual—their house-made boba has a distinctive texture, and they're known for Instagram-worthy treats like bubble waffles and rolled ice cream made right in front of you. The warm, welcoming owner creates genuine connections with guests, and on a good day you might catch live ukulele while sipping their signature drinks like the Kulolo with taro and coconut, making it feel less like a quick caffeine stop and more like a local gathering spot with soul.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Obsessed with the blended cantaloupe "secret recipe". Only said atmosphere is a 3 because the ac isn't cold.
We got the Kulolo which was taro and coconut at 25% sweet. It was good! Boba was different than I’ve tasted at other places. There was a guy playing ukulele on the stage so it was a great time sipping on this boba tea!
The food was great, unfortunately the lady helping was rude, it felt like she wanted me to order fast and get out. Note: the place was not busy I was actually the only one ordering at the time.
On the plus side there is no annoying automatic tip screen when paying. On the downside the boba was overcooked or old and was just mushy like eating paste in the ube macapuno drink and remix drink that we ordered.
The Oreo bubble waffle was so good I forgot to take a photo of it before we started tearing it up! We also had an order of onion rings and they were so so good. Will definitely be back for rolled ice cream and boba tea. I do wish this place was open later though. They’re…
I had the opportunity to speak with the owner. She is a delight to visit with. Such a ray of sunshine on a warm wet day. I loved my rolled ice cream. Watching the magic happen in front ofnyou is amazing. Thank you.
