Kaimuki Favorites: Teapresso Bar

i was driving home from a hot day at the beach yesterday and was craving for something to cool me down. noticed a new shop that just opened so i went to check it out. it is called TEAPRESSO BAR and is located right in the heart of kaimuki.

i walked in and it was very clean and had a very nice atmosphere.

free samples before you order so that helps you decide what to get. i really liked the Teapresso Milk Tea, so that’s what i ordered.

was watching the girls making it. pretty high tech now days. what really impressed me about this shop was how clean it was. and also the service was excellent.

a big selection of drinks, smoothies, coffees, and teas.

i got my milk tea and couldn’t wait to taste it. and once i did, it was instant refreshing! it was the best milk tea i’ve ever tried. so yes, i would highly recommend this place to everyone. hope you get to enjoy it someday. i’ll surely be back there many and many of times, especially because it is on the way home. yeah!
