Drinks were great and the owner recommended I get the mango smoothie. So I did and it was super good! Owner and daughter were super friendly. If you like snacks they also have a ton of great snacks to choose from, got a few myself!

It's the Snack Express... You walk in for tea and if you make it that far to the counter to order it without stopping for snacks...bravo! This Puck's Alley location that prominently sits nearly on the corner of South King St and University which is a crazy busy intersection, parking is easily available with entry on University right between Kansai Yamato and Betty's Burger and the first hour without any validation is free! Walking in I was amazed how spacious it was and was so happy to see several seatings though that is trouble because you're able to see all that they have to offer...snacks! Lots of yummy snacks galore as I came here for some tea though they're more of fresh fruit smoothie kinda place but did have a few House Tea selection and got the "Green Lemon Tea" with boba which I usually don't care for the lady was so nice that I went with it. The tea was a delicate yummy perfection and the boba was made just right not too hard but just a delicate flavor and not too much of it as well which I did love so much along with a couple slice of lemon this was the perfect cup of tea. As for the snacks...you know I bought a few and added another as she made my tea. What a wonderful vibe that's so lovely and welcoming. Thank you!

If you are looking for a sip of paradise look no further than Shaka Shaka Tea Express. Located near University of Manoa it is in a quaint spot for anyone craving a natural refreshing beverage. After trying both the Taro and Mango smoothie with boba I want to come back. It's all natural, no artificial powder or artificial sugar. They use the real fruit to make your smoothie with boba. It did not disappoint. Both drinks had the right amount of sweetness, it was rich, and balanced. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The service was quick and the ambiance was relaxed and laid back.

Smoothies are pretty good here. And inexpensive. It's a small shop but the service was fast.

Craving for watermelon juice, and found this place from yelp. Real watermelon and tastes very fresh. The place very clean and organized.

We love Shaka Shaka for its fresh smoothies especially on a hot afternoon. Ordered delivery on Door Dash and scored since delivery was only 99 cents! Got our order in 20 mins. The only problem the large cups had lids and not sealed so one of the drinks spilled :( other than that we love the fresh smoothies!

I ordered a watermelon smoothie with boba, 50% sugar, and thoroughly enjoyed my drink! The smoothie had a nice consistency, and the flavor of it was very natural. The order was made extremely quickly, and staff was friendly. Would recommend!

1000% Yes. 100/10 highly recommend this place. I order here quite frequently, it seems like an addiction. lol My favorite order is Watermelon Smoothie with boba, 25% sweet. I love that their menu is fresh juices. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Plenty of seating inside with lots of Asian snacks to pair with your drink. They even have a seasonal menu for certain fruits in season. Boba is not an added cost! You can decline the boba, but why would you?! Parking is a bit tough, but well worth it for the drink! Don't forget your stamp card. Trust me, you will be back. Yelp 2023 Challenge: 07/30

Snack before lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... Knowing that I wouldn't have lunch for at least another hour... and not having had any breakfast, I searched my Yelp app for a nearby Boba tea place and found Shaka Shaka Tea Express. Located at Puck's Alley, Shaka Shaka Tea Express is on the ground level, between Nijiya Market and Cricket on University Avenue. If you park at Puck's Alley, you'll get an hour of free parking with validation. I have been to the Dillingham and Kaneohe locations, so I know that the owner (Maggie) uses fresh fruits and no powders. I ordered the seasonal Dragonfruit Mango smoothie - yum! It came with free mini Boba! Hmmm... interesting. It held me over until lunchtime! The young man who took my order also made my drink. He was efficient and polite. However, he didn't offer me a Loyalty Card and I forgot to ask for a stamp on my card... I will return! The interior of the shop is colorful and full of snacks for sale! I looked at the many succulent plants and wondered if they were available for purchase... I had to walk away quickly because I have too many plants already!
