The perfect place to stop by, it has options for lattes or boba. I suggest they should add more options for dairy-free.

Cute little bubble tea cafe hidden in Waipahu. I love to go to Savers and grab myself a bubble drink afterwards. There is a good amount of seating available. There is only one guy working behind the counter, which can cause a lag in service if busy. The tea with cheese foam was yummy and not overly sweet or cheesy when mixed well. A lot of boba cafes have a heavy hand on the sugar, so I LOVE to find a bubble tea where you can taste the TEA.
Cheese tea... the name alone didn't make me think of Bobba tea. But I found it on Yelp and looked good. Got the original with bobba... loved it. Cute little shop which was nice and clean. The owner was nice too. I have yet to try the other flavors.

my favorite place to get milk tea. there boba is the literally the best, it has a different taste than most boba places. I think because they add syrup unlike other boba places. I usually get their messy strawberry or hokkaido milk tea w/ boba and it always hits. i still yet have to try their other drinks, but I know they taste amazing as well! their service is always the best. every time I go there is usually a different worker working, but it doesn't matter because they all show kindness and patience :) the whole atmosphere of cheese tea is amazing, the place is comfortable and quiet, the people are wonderful, and the drinks just are the cherry on top!

Since I’m basically a regular customer at this shop, I might as well write a review which I’m surprised I haven’t in the past. And for a fact, I have A LOT to say.Ever since I was introduced to Cheese Tea by my friends in 7th grade, I never had a time that I would stop going here, and I’m still visiting regularly during school weeks. My first impressions of this shop was that the cat decorations (wallpaper, cups, etc.) really hooked on to me, and that’s pretty much half of the reason why I love this place a lot. The atmosphere is cozy, cute, friendly, and comforting as a whole. Although there’s not much people inside, it’s still great to hangout in the shop with a small friend group or just by yourself.For the boba prices, they’re fairly cheap! You usually only have to bring $10 dollars or less at most if you’re buying for yourself. From what I could remember, the drinks usually range from $5 to $7. Furthermore, most of the drinks that I’ve ordered were extremely delicious and never disappointed me, that’s all I can say about them, really. My personal favorites are the Matcha Latte and Okinawa Milk Tea, both of which I’ve recently ordered in the past. I would recommend adding extra boba to some drinks, but, that’s just a personal preference.Ordering in the front is quite simple and the workers are patient and kind. I don’t have a single problem with any of them at all, especially those who switch employees from time to time.As someone who once stayed inside Cheese Tea till it was almost closing for the day, I could honestly say that this shop is UNDERRATED and more people NEED to visit this place! At most, I often only see around 5 or more customers come inside while I’m doing my own thing. Though, by the time I visit after school, there’s no doubt that more customers came before I did. But in most cases of my own, I’m usually sitting in the shop with nobody else inside except for the worker.Cheese Tea is a wonderful shop, and I do hope that more people find it and show this place some love! Overall, a 5/5 experience every time. I would recommend it to just about anyone!
I've been here twice, and there were lots of parking stalls available.First time, I ordered the Plant Oreo Matcha. I don't know what the "plant" part of this drink is but figured, whatever I'll give it a try. I thought that it was cool that the cashier/guy who made the drink explained that I should stir the cheese foam before drinking. Of course wondering why, when I got back to the car I went ahead and tasted just a little of the topping. It had a saltiness to it, but it did work so well mixed into the rest of the drink. Oh, I also added boba to the drink, and it was so good. I would come here again.Second time I went was a couple of days later. My cousin asked the cashier (a different guy from my first visit) what was in the Plant Oreo Matcha, and he said oreo and matcha...so I still don't know what the plant part of this drink is lol.Trash Bin - Not sure if they ever use the trash bin. First time that I went, they had a plastic shopping bag hanging on the corner of the trash bin. Second time I went, there wasn't a bag, and if there was an opening for the wooden trash bin, it was pushed against the wall to purposely not be used.Inside of the shop is really cute, and quiet. Quiet like walking into a library. Second visit there even had a guy sleeping with his head on the table while his friends were either on their laptop or phones; quietly. I like the cat design, and the paw prints on the tables. Each table had 2 paw prints as the design, 2 light pink chairs, and 2 light blue chairs.There's more items on the menu, and even though it's weirdly quiet in there, I would go again to try the different flavors.

6-15-23 Today was the first time I noticed the signage for this business. It's in the building across from Max.I read the review first while hubs went to buy some omiyage to take to Doc from the supermarket.Told hubs let's try it. If you like cats or kitties you'll be in 7 th heaven when you see the baby blue and pink furniture with cat paw decorations. If you are facing the order counter, the wall on the left has the softest looking sweetest face of a pastel cat- love it!There is another room that's presently used for storage and some little Knick knacks for sale.Erika had one customer before us but took our order as soon as we studied the menus posted above. As usual I had to decide for hubs so got two Creamy cake milk tea with cheese cap, egg pudding 0% sugar, no ice and the Yelp check in discount.Erika is as sweet as her shop and prepares your order quickly and quietly. Her friendly voice wishes you a good one as you leave her shop.I told her, we'll be back.
my ube milk tea was the best thing i tasted in a long time ?, i definitely recommend coming here to get your bobas

I used to come here a lot but lately coming here the person that serves always breathes hard like they are irritated. Like he was in the middle of something and Doesn't want to serve us. We used to get certain items but he is now telling us we don't have any. Trying to rush us out. Whenever we do come into the shop I always buy keychains or pens. Doesn't make me and my family feel very comfortable coming into the waipahu location. We won't be coming here anymore. He should be happy to be getting any business the way things are now.

Really like the unique topping choices. I'm lactose intolerant but it's worth it LOL. Went with 4/5 bc the boba was kinda chewy, I liked it but my friend didn't. So, to each their own.

The best boba I have ever had on island. I normally get the creamy cake milk tea with boba and it makes me come back for seconds. The boba is not tough at all and has a little sweetness. As for the drink itself, it is the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. Not to mention the workers are always so nice and quick too.
