Mango passion smoothie
Ed A.

Very affordable and the drink was so delicious. The woman working here is the sweetest! I asked about the mango passion drink and she described the ingredients then started recommending a lot of related drinks. The service is a 10/10!

Black milk tea w/ boba
Jamila S.

I love that they brew their tea from leaf rather than using a powder. All their teas are dairy free with the exception of the Thai tea, which they use half and half because it's strong. The owner is super friendly, and personable! This is def a business we want to have in Modesto, so make sure you support small business! If you're looking for dairy free milk tea options, this is your place!

Snack menu

Originally wanted calamari but that was part of a older menu and now they don't have it, so I thought I'd post a more updated one. Milk teas and boba were good, the popcorn chicken tasted good but would've been better if it was crunchier, and the fries tasted old and reheated. Service was great, very friendly, and got everything really fast. Still a solid spot if you're craving boba and snacks especially for downtown Modesto.

I had this random craving for Milk Tea with boba and popcorn chicken, and so being that we were driving through Modesto- I searched Yelp for the most rated and highest star reviewed spot... T-Cups Cafe is located in the heart of Downtown Modesto, adjacent to the Brennen Theaters, neighboring Jamba Juice. Upon walking in, I had to question if they were open or not because the interior looked dark, there wasn't a sign stating "open" plus it didn't look like anyone was inside. I walk in and immediately you're welcomed with a sweet sugary smell, it made me smile, lol. The only lady working the behind the counter greeted me and then continued to work. T-Cup is spacious with a chill spot area that consists of couches and tables throughout. There was a slight eerie vibe tho, cuz it was too quiet between the sounds of frying and blending every now and then. The nice lady took my order which consisted of Black Milk Tea w/ Boba ($2.95) and T-pop Chicken ($5.45). I waiting about 10 minutes then received my order. I had asked for no ice, but she still put ice in it. Oh well, this wasn't a deal breaker for me, but my milk tea had a weird after taste. I still prefer Tapioca Express's Milk Tea. For the T-Pop chicken, these were MEH-ok. They didn't have much of a flavor to them, and since they are basically fried pieces of chicken- you control how spicy since the spicy cayenne power is found to the side with the other condiments. I wished that the chicken was cooked/ fried with basil and the cayenne pepper already. This would add so much more flavor, again I prefer TapEx's chicken.

Large honeydew milk tea with house pudding and milk pudding
Dan C.

I had a mighty craving for some melon tea with pudding and I managed to find this place. The owner(?) at the front was very friendly and funny as she took my order and made my drink. I got the biggest size of honeydew milk tea with both milk pudding and their egg pudding. I was in a super sweet fruity drink kind of mood and this was just what I was looking for, just sweet enough and not too artificial-tasting. I'll be sure to come back whenever the hankering returns again

Front store menu

We were in the area. My son goes here for lunch from time to time. We came in and the owner was very friendly. Took our order of drinks and a popcorn chicken. It took us 5 minutes of waiting- that's fast! Drink was good. Boba needs to add a bit of honey of flavor it up. I would come back here for my drinks and will try out their food menu. Support local mama/pops shop

I've been really contemplating what rating to give this establishment. Let me simply just tell you the pro's and con's of this place maybe it'll be more simpler to explain. Pro's: - The ice cream is delicious - calamari is bomb.com - Fries are yummy - FUNNEL CAKE IS THE BESSSSSSSSSTTT I've ever had - Fair prices - Quick to get your order out So, all in all the desserts and most of it's food is pretty good. Con's: - WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE that I rather wished a robot took my order instead. So bad that it was awkward. - The boba tea here makes my stomach hurt, Everytime! Not just mine but my sisters too. - They're closed on sundays- What the actual fudge???? Overall, don't get their boba tea and if you don't care about customer service then this establishment wont bother you.

Vietnamese "cold cuts" sandwich $4.45 and Strawberry Dream Smooth
Thien H.

I like their pearl tea so far. The avocado smoothie was good, but I prefer the strawberry. You can adjust the sweetness of your smoothie to your liking. It makes me happy that after they seal the cup with plastic on top, they take the time to thoroughly shake your cup so that the pearls/boba are more evenly distributed throughout the smoothie. The fried chicken was alright. The cold cuts sandwich was also okay. The meats they put in their version of the sandwich are not my favorite. I'm excited to try their fried desserts. I'll have to wait until next time. It's super close to Brenden Theaters downtown so I'll consider stopping here before a movie. The employees here are friendly. They have a stamp card where you can earn a free drink, so get one if you plan on returning.

Posh Bagel

Love this place been eating here for years.! I always get my favorite BLT CC on a spinach asiago…read morebagel. Always packed with bacon and equal amounts of cream cheese. I also get it sometimes on the Parmesan bagel. Fast affordable and great Customer service. Small nice place. Perfect for a quick breakfast.

This place had the potential to be much better, but unfortunately it fell short due to cleanliness…read moreand customer service. The bagels themselves were actually good very fresh, and you could tell the bread was nice, fluffy, and soft even after being toasted. That part was definitely the highlight. However, the coffee bar area where the fountain drinks are located was extremely dusty. It looked like nothing had been moved or cleaned under or around it in a long time. The soda fountain machine itself also appeared like it hadn't been cleaned recently. While ordering, I could also see the cutting board behind the counter and it's no longer white, it's basically gray from buildup. That definitely needs a deep clean. Service was also disappointing. When we walked in, we greeted the staff but some had AirPods in and didn't acknowledge us. The main cashier saw us standing there but didn't respond right away. We ordered breakfast bagels and waited about five minutes, which was actually pretty quick. When we finished and were leaving, we said "thank you, have a good day," and no one responded. That was honestly a little sad because this place really has potential. Overall: 2 stars. The bagel was decent, but with the cleanliness issues and lack of customer service, I probably won't be back.
