Finally Modesto has a legit bubble tea place! This place is located in a great area with a lot of foot traffic. Only 15 minutes from the local high school and junior college. Walking into it is very clean and spacious. I wish there was a more obvious sign that pointed to where the register was. I stood behind a line waiting for their drinks rather than to order. The snack menu was a bit pricier than expected, but the again this place is new. I got a Thai iced tea with mini boba, while my friend got a strawberry milk tea with regular boba. My drink was on the watered down side since I could barely taste any Thai tea. The strawberry milk was much better. It had a hint of strawberry that wasn't too overwhelming for the taste buds. This place has a lot of potential and really friendly service. I'll definitely come again and try out some of their other drinks. read more

This was a cute hole in the wall cafe! Interior: the color scheme and layout of the place made it seem inviting and fun. Service: wonderful service! The employees are so nice and friendly. They were so patient when we came in a group and took a while to decide what we wanted to order. They noticed we were sitting around waiting so they suggested we play with the board games they had available. How neat! Food: I ordered a bubble MT with boba. The milk tea was delicious. A nice blend of tea and milk but the boba was okay (I tend to like my boba on the chewier side). All in all, tcups cafe is a quaint place that I would definitely recommend and want to come back again to try more items on the menu. PS if you Instagram and include #tcupscafe, you get 2 stamps instead of 1! read more

I think I may remember this location as a cool coffee shop in the early 90s...anyhow...my daughter and I were on a mission for boba tea. What a lovely cafe! We had sweet snacks (crepe and funnel cake) but there were genuine food offerings as well. Cappuccino was really good. My daughter enjoyed the boba tea as well. This would be a great and affordable date spot or just a place to hang out. (variety of board games) I.think when it's date night with my husband we'll come back. read more

AWESOMENESS!!! Drinks and food for me was delicious! I had the jasmine milk tea and crepe which had strawberry, nutella, vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and drizzled with more chocolate and strawberry sauce. Ohhh yummy goodness! I think my only input for improvement since it's a new establishment is better placing of the register. It was a bit busy when we went to the grand opening and we weren't sure of who was in line to order or who was waiting for thier orders. Other than that this place is golden. :) read more

T-Cups Cafe - The crepe ohh and fried banana for the vegan sistahs - Desserts Near Me - Modesto, California

I love their coconut waffles Soso much, I love their pop chicken and they have a long list of delicious foot items. BUT the drinks are not my favorite Please, make your mango smoothie more tasty, it tastes like dishwasher water Taro milk tea with boba is very good, not the smoothies or slushies read more

This place has been good in the past.. I went yesterday with my man and his family. There was someone getting trained by a woman who looked like the manager or owner. We were not greeted. When we asked where we could find their ice cream flavors available and we were ignored! I asked a few times and they didn't even look up. We ended up ordering two crepes, a sandwich and fries, and a mango ice cream. They put the mango ice cream on one of the crepes, by mistake. And my sandwich was missing ingredients. I don't know if it was just a bad day for them but they didn't seem to care for customer service. read more

FINALLY! A great place for Boba & ethnic snacks in the Central Valley! They even have funnel cake & fried bananas! An awesome place for date nights with great beverages. Clean, open floor plan, friendly/ very welcoming, & Bay Area 'asian' cheque. read more

Thank you for being open during this challenging time. I had the Tao tea, hot. It was very good. I will be going back.

I'm not big on weird Asian food so I was just gonna share a bite of the wife's crepe but she got bananas on it. Gross. So I got a grilled chicken crepe, hold the mayo, hold the lettuce. The corn really made it pop. It was delicious. The crepe on its own was perfect. The grilled chicken was excellent. The corn was sweet and fresh. Top it all with CHEESE. Delicious savory melted jack or mozzarella cheese. OMG! Throw all that together and it was a culinary delight. I'll definitely be back. read more

Will not knock your socks off but will definitely satisfy your cravings for boba tea and other quick snacks. Every time I visit my drink is prepared differently. Some days my Taro is the best I've ever had and other days it's flavorless and grainy. I was pleasantly surprised they had Rose milk tea on their flavors menu. Lastly, their tapioca could be a lot better so I'm happy they don't give you so many. Their food menu is extensive and reasonably priced. Again the quality depends on who's preparing it. I once received burnt egg rolls that were inedible. Their desserts menu is definitely the best and well portioned. The waffles and crepes are always delicious and sweet. Their matcha ice cream is to die for. Overall it's a nice place to hang out and pass the time with friends in the heart of downtown. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. Me and my friends all got Boba tea, and loved it. For some of them, it was their first time experiencing it. We also purchased multiple types of crepe, and all of them were excellent, with fresh fruit and good ice cream inside. I'm curious as to how the rest of the menu is, and will definitely be trying more of it later. The atmosphere was very nice, bright colors and plenty of seating, which made being there very nice. The only thing that wasn't advantageous about the seating is that it felt a little cramped at times, but this is to be expected of a small place like this. The equipment was very new, I found the cash register extremely cool. It was super modern in design, which you don't see much in the valley these days. The staff was very friendly and helpful to the friends of mine that had never experienced Boba tea before, which I applaud this establishment for. The customer service is top notch. I will definitely be going back, as the location is very convinient, perfectly in the middle of downtown. read more

T-Cups Cafe - Great! Banana strawberry crepes are amazing! - Desserts Near Me - Modesto, California

I am never disappointed when I'm here, I'm just not impressed. The boba is always has an off consistency which ruins the drink for me. The taro flavor leaves a consistency in my mouth. The crepes are really good, I've tried a couple. The good thing about this place is it stays later than most. It's just a little average to give it higher than 3 stars. read more

So far so good. The staff has been super helpful with all of my questions. The tofu was delicious the first time, I had to come back for more. Waiting to find out if I'm able to drink the non dairy creamer. Hopefully they'll have a label I can read next time I come in. The atmosphere is super mellow. They have a couple tv's. This could potentially be a great homework spot. I'll have update my review after a few more visits. read more

T-Cups Cafe - Yummy taro milk tea with pearls - Desserts Near Me - Modesto, California

Hi guys, if you're looking for some bubble tea or milk tea then I wouldn't really recommend this place. Visiting here and thought I try this place out.... It's nice and some what odly shaped inside there could be more room if the front desk wasn't so up close, anyways. They have many different varieties to choose from including some snack foods they offer. Bubble tea,bubble milk. In my opinion totally expensive like tapioca is extra and you get 2 options a small or a large but doesn't make sense to get a small since its a couple cents different.... Coming from Seattle I've had better bubble teas at our local Pho vendors. Would I try this again? No maybe not. But I do recommend the coconut waffle. In the end you can find better desert place else where read more

I moved to Modesto a year ago from San Leandro and I've been searching for some good spicy calamari. I used to go to a place in San Leandro that I deeply missed but best believe T-Cups has definitely beat that place by a long shot. It's such a chill place me and my boyfriend went before all this Covid-19 started shutting everything down. I cannot wait to go back when the world opens up again I'm in desperate need of calamari ‼ read more

Very disappointed especially since I'm from out of town. Taro milk tea tasted chalky with no flavor and boba pearls were hard. Eggrolls were super burnt with no flavor. Popcorn chicken was ok, but could have been better with a little more seasoning. Lady said she would give us extra seasoning on the side, but she must've forgotten. read more

everything was amazing. the crepes were so hot and fresh and the chocolate was immaculate. the service was incredible and the lady who helps us was very sweet and understanding. would definitely recommend read more

This place was terrible. The service was slow, the food not great-fresh spring rolls were not good. They had mostly lettuce, each shrimp was cut in half so there was a total of maybe two shrimp in four rolls. Peanut sauce was coagulated-blech. They were out of almost everything for the boba drink-including boba. read more

Saw this place while becoming lethargic and looking for a place to eat. I love tea so I said why not, + I saw they sold crepes double win (OvO)! Came in and the service was excellent off the break the selection was a bit random but that's what I like its like a sweets shop with a few heavier things to fill you up... I purchased the Jasmine milk tea really nice balance of tea and milk and also the funnel cake w/ powdered sugar since my GF didn't want her ice cream they offered to put it on my funnel cake ＼(^o^)／ awesome sauce Will be back if in Modesto read more

Their crepes are really good but I'm not sure i love their drink selection. I've had one of their mango boba slushys which was pretty good. But i had their jasmine tea and It tasted really strange. Not even natural. Don't hate the place but it's definitely not my fav boba place in town read more

ANNOUNCEMENT: Christine is venturing out in the big Modo!!! Last night, around 8, I came with New Friend (yay for FINALLY making friends in the big Modo...PEOPLE CALL ME, I'M A NICE GIRL) to T-Cups to try their selection of boba teas. Firstly, I really like the location. I've never been to downtown Mod before -- most of my co-workers scared me to death and warned me not to come to the area...but I DON'T KNOW WHY. In my opinion, parts of downtown are absolutely beautiful (...although empty and quiet -- everything closes so early in da Mod). The movie theater area/T-Cups area remind me a lot of downtown Sacramento (a location I'm very fond of and have many good college memories at). The establishment, itself, is also rather nice -- bright colors, bright lighting, and a large seating area. The employees are also extremely kind -- very helpful in answering questions, patient through long orders (I ordered four drinks and New Friend ordered two), and accommodating of special requests. I ordered a plain black tea (no milk) with boba. The drink DID have a nice, strong tea flavor (...although it was JUST black tea so....). I'm not sure how their milk teas fare in comparison. However, the drink was simply NOT sweet enough and MOREOVER, the BOBA itself was....very, very soft. I'm not sure if this is because New Friend and I went at the end of the day (they may have left their boba soaking in water, thus, resulting in the soft texture) but I was a little disappointed. Overall, it was a fun experience -- ultimately, I'm glad I was simply able to brave going into downtown Mod (and AT NIGHT -- props to me right??). Getting excited to explore all DA BIG MOD has for me. read more

Folks can stop sending me nasty "compliments" regarding my review. It is what it is. I have had Boba tea many times before. So to the Boba "experts" feel free to keep your ignorant comments to yourself. You don't like my review......eh! Kick rocks! read more

One of the worst places to go for boba in my opinion. I've been here about 4 times and all the milk teas I've ordered were really watered down. It tasted like I was drinking straight up milk and the fruit teas I ordered were extremely sweet and the artificial syrup flavor was overwhelming. The only things that this place has going for them are their funnel cakes & crepes which are pretty decent and their staff is also very nice & friendly. If they improved the taste and quality of their drinks then this place could have a lot of potential. read more

T-Cups Cafe - Strawberry crepe w/ green tea ice cream! - Desserts Near Me - Modesto, California

T-cups. Out of context, and in not having a visual of the name, this can easily be mistaken for "D cups". And yes, I will admit that I had this very misleading conversation with my husband in wanting to try this place. Excerpt from conversation: Me: I want to try out T-cups Husband: (awkward silence) um...why? Me: I think the drinks will be good. Husband: (more awkward silence, shift in posture) I suppose they could be...? If that's what you really want to do. Me: (sensing reluctance and awkwardness) I thought you liked milk tea? Husband: is that what they are calling it? Me: huh? (Continued confusion in talking about two separate topics for five more minutes) So yeah, after you get over the hump of their name, it's a nice little place. I'm accustomed to Fantasia in Cupertino where I was first introduced to it, and was most likely spoiled in having it there. The space is nice and the snack offerings are quite tasty. The drinks were good, but I can't rate them as great. I've only tried two, and they both tasted the same (but were different drinks). It definitely warrants further investigation. I was hoping they would have some offerings with green tea, but no. Wish I was downtown so it could be more convenient to visit them. Hopefully they will make it with the theater foot traffic next door. Keeping fingers crossed for them. read more

Amazing food and amazing service every single time! Love the sandwiches, salads and Thai tea.

Glazed Brussels were great, try them with siracha sauce too. Great staff and service. Great Food high leaving. Well done

I absolutely love this place!!! It's perfect after or before catching a movie. The chicken sandwiches are super tasty. The crepes and the funnel cakes are amazing topped with green tea ice cream! Tea's are also great. Not only that but their service is the best, they are all so nice and very welcoming read more

T-Cups Cafe - The strawberry and banana funnel cake topped with caramel, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, and a green tea ice cream! Sooo yummy! - Desserts Near Me - Modesto, California

I have been waiting for a place like this! The food is delicious and the interior is bright and fun. There are also board games and a sofa, which makes it a nice place to hang out. There are many flavors of tea, which are all home-brewed. I have tried the regular black tea, taro, and jasmine, all of which are perfectly not-too-sweet and with a good strong tea flavor. The bobas are also very good, as well as the egg pudding (or "house pudding") which they make themselves. They're also really cool about letting you customize your drink, so you can mix different teas together if you want! The business is family owned, and every time I've visited I've felt extremely welcomed and at home. They are always super friendly and eager to help you with any questions you have, especially if you've never tried boba tea before and have no idea what all the jellies and puddings are all about! I highly recommend this cafe. It's my new favorite hangout/snack place and I'm certain that it will become yours too! read more
