Boba Bros

Boba Bros is locally owned and are known for their organic milk tea. They are a vendor in the farmers market at Blaisdell Center (Wed. 4pm-7pm), Kakaako (Sat. 8am-12pm) and Kaiser High School (Tues. 330pm-6pm).

The drinks cost between $5-$6, for diary free, it's an extra $.50. Their drinks are photogenic if you get the ones with the walls. I usually go in the evenings, so I get the caffeine-free options like the tiger milk and ladybug. My favorite is the ladybug because it goes well with all the different food, I'm eating at the farmers market. If you go towards the end, they are usually sold out, so I recommend going early if there's a specific drink you want. They accept cash and card payments.

Dukes Lane Market & Eatery

Dukes Lane Market & Eatery is home to a handful of shops. One of my favorite spots has been the bakery. The bakery offer some of the best mochi malasadas. It's better than a mochi donut. I enjoyed the original mochi malasada but some of the other flavors are mango, milk tea boba, and ube.  I recommend going before 9AM so you can get them fresh. They are priced at 2 for $2.50 but I'm sure you'll walk away with half dozen minimum because these are tiny. They also have regular malasadas without the mochi and other baked goods.

Molokai Hot Bread

Molokai Hot Bread is available on Oahu! Their food truck is selling the same bread you'll get a Kanemitsu Bakery on Molokai. They started adding more stops in Honolulu last weekend so I was able to get some. It's a huge round loaf of bread that gets cut in half and you can choose up to 4 fillings; $1 per filling. You can also buy the bread plain for $8. I've always enjoyed the strawberry and cream cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, get "da works" which consists of strawberry, blueberry, cinnamon, butter, and cream cheese.

If you want some hot bread, follow them on instagram or facebook to see where they'll be during the week. Their truck is gray colored and they accept cash and card. Depending on what location you go to, the wait could be long so go right when they open.
