Came here after the beach to cool down! Great little boba shop with seating for about 10 ppl. Excellent service! We ordered and in a minute or two our order was done! I ordered the classic milk tea with boba, and my friends tried their ube milk tea & a matcha blueberry also with boba! Everyone loved the fresh boba! Their bobas are super unique as they make them! Certainly a labour of love! Fresh boba is unique and something you have to try! We will certainly be back! They are also at the farmer's market so look out for them! Great way to get my boba fix when travelling in Waimea

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.

We first saw them at the farmers market and then knew we had to come again. Absolutely love their ube lattes and their matcha. It’s a quality spot for sure!

Real authentic tea made from tea leaves, hand made tapioca, ceremonial grade matcha, and it was all so yummy at a very reasonable price! Arlene one of the owners was very kind and helped us pick the perfect beverage for each of us! Photographed: BLT and Matcha‼

We drove from Kona to visit this little tea shop and it was well worth it! I had the scenic point with watermelon boba and my husband had the watermelon fruit tea with lychee jelly. I can honestly say I’ve tried several other places on the island and Tea O’clock is tops! The scenic point is a jasmine tea, you could tell it was fresh. The flavor was absolutely beautiful! The watermelon fruit tea was just as you’d expect it should be. Nothing was watered down, only flavorful teas here!! I highly suggest this place!

Tea O’Clock – A Colorful, Flavor-Packed Stop in Waimea Tea O’Clock has become a must-stop for our family anytime we’re in Waimea. It’s the perfect spot for an afternoon treat—our kids love it here! The drinks are as fun as they are delicious: bright, colorful, refreshing, and super affordable. Whether it's fruit teas, milk teas, or something in between, you really can’t go wrong—every sip is a hit. Our personal must-order? The Kimchee Pastrami Sandwich. It’s crave-worthy—savory, spicy, and totally satisfying. It might sound like an unexpected combo, but trust us, it works. This place hits the sweet spot (literally and figuratively): family-friendly, fast service, and full of flavor.
