Teapresso Bar Ewa Beach

Good small location that serves the residents that live close by. It’s away from malls and such so not too much wait time as foot traffic is light. However, each time I have visited the AC has been somewhat not working well. So if the wait is long it does feel hot. But good thing this place is more of a grab and go so at least you don’t need to feel a little uncomfortable for too long. They also have a restroom there and it’s clean. That’s a plus in my book.

I got a matching frappe with brown sugar and boba here, and it was AMAZING. There were literal mouthfuls of boba in the drink, but they were still perfectly balanced with the amount of frappe. There's a sign in there that says "quality drinks take time, so please be patient," or something along those lines, and they aren't bluffing about the quality! They also sell novelty products, including some "anime dollar bills" featuring tons of beloved anime characters (and Lilo and Stitch, amongst some other characters that aren't anime characters). Azaraya, my barista, provided me with a lovely experience from walking in the door to leaving the establishment. She was very personable and happy to provide an example of her own favorite beverage and whether she thought what I was asking for would be good or not. They also have a loyalty program for return customers! Excellent experience overall, and I'd happily go again.

It’s a cute little shop. You can even order online with a scan code. Nice greeting when entering, staff were attentive and very nice. Great taste and great quality of course! Btw, I ordered a Teapresso milk tea and a Lilikoi Chiffon cake, yummy! Definitely will visit more often as I live 5 minutes away. I am hopeful for more shops and businesses to be opening soon in our developing community of Ho’opili.
