our story
YOUR FINEST BUBBLE TEA & MODERN ASIAN KAI SERVED HERE !
The journey of The Black Pearl cafe began in early 2011 with a vision to bring a truly international experience into the heart of the community. From the beginning, we set out to create more than just a place to eat and drink. We wanted to build a space where people could relax, connect and enjoy the flavors we love most.
Over time, we grew into a team of passionate people who take pride in serving bubble tea and modern Asian food made with care and creativity. The Black Pearl cafe has become a favorite destination for bubble tea and kai lovers of all ages, a place where friends and families gather to share good moments.
Today we continue to serve the best bubble tea in town and remain proud of the strong connection we have built with people across New Zealand and the international community.
Black Pearl is not just a business. It is a masterpiece of work.
Paul Leang. Owner.

Why does the same item cost more on delivery apps?
Delivery platforms charge us commission of up to 35%, so our delivery prices are higher to help cover those fees. For better value, order pickup directly from Black Pearl Cafe. For example, Chicken Katsu Mayo is from $27.90 on our pickup menu and $34.95 on Uber Eats in Napier (checked November 2026).
