I have been going to TPumps here and there over the years. At one point there would be dozens of teenage kids in line at all times. I am not sure if it is still like that but the parking and lines were convenient the past few times I went. The format is fun where you can pick your base tea and flavors to add in as well as boba if desired. They always have a tea for tasting while you are in line as well as a case with some ready made, discounted drinks. These drinks are already sealed, so you cannot add toppings. You can control the sweetness level. For me the flavors overpower the actual taste of the tea. However, I appreciate their monthly suggestions which got me to try combinations I would probably never attempt on my own. One I enjoyed was a raspberry black tea with a hint of marshmallow!

the best thing about tpumps is that they never disappoint, they also have seasonal tops which is so fun as well. everyone is super fast and you can earn points every visit you go. sometimes they do give free small bobas and also have tpump tuesdays! it's not a sit down it's just a pickup and go which is so convenient when you're on the go.

This place was not what it used to be. Around 10 years ago, this place was popping and everyone was ordering from here. I was on Lake street to visit pillow talk and wanted to bc heck out TPumps again and it's really not the same. Tea was meh, no flavor and there was barely any ice even though we asked for regular amount of ice. It's a sad T Pumps now :( Service was quick and they offered self serve samples by the entrance. I would not come here again TBH and there are a few other tea places in the area so this is not the only option.

Tuesday as of 11/02/24

I tried the macadamia nut coconut, it was not the greatest but I was able to finish it. I loved the two samples that was out: Strawberry Rose Vanilla Green Milk Tea and Blackberry Cherry Black Tea. The black tea was so refreshing! I loved it. Would come back for the teas and maybe just that strawberry rose vanilla green milk tea. Service was friendly and nice. Small shop. I would also buy the $2 next time when I'm not feeling for anything else.

Mango Peach Passion Green Tea

Food: Mango Peach Passion Green Tea - 4/5 I reduced the sugar to taste the tea more, it's pretty good. I like the texture and the flavor of the boba too. I have never had boba that tasted like that Service: super fast and efficient Ambiance: It's small but people come and go with the drinks

On a Saturday at 11am in January, my sister and I came here to try their teas. I always pass by this place and wonder if it tastes good. Inside space is small and only for takeout drinks. It was so hard to decide on flavors since it was our first time. I ordered large POG for $1 in size more and lychee popping pops. I waited for several minutes and got my drink. It tastes good with pretty colors, but I wish there is more ice. I only see a spoonful of ice. 3 stars for a spoonful of ice.

Mango rose vanila black milk tea with boba
Natalie P.

I love Pasdena, and I always start/end the day with a sweet treat like boba at Tpumps. I go here if im craving boba and sometimes its amazing, sometimes its alright. I order the Mango Rose Vanila Black Milk Tea and its so tasty! Although, once in a while it tastes watered down. But its still drinkable and delicious! The workers are always kind and patient when taking my order. And its a cute small area

I got the boba today and there is hair in my drink. I can't believe this. This is unacceptable very unhygienic.

I've been here number of times before, as a DEFAULT, since there's no other boba place in the area but this. I was never really a fan, but was not much disappointed either. It's definitely won't be on my top 20 if it's just Pasadena area, but again, no choice if you're just wanting to stay on Lake Ave. The reason for the review after a handful of times experience getting a drink here, was the drink we got was nasty. I don't know why, I dunno if it was because it was Tuesday and they have an upgrade special. Regardless, it was very disappointing. It was odd coz I wanted to try the new boba place next door before entering TPumps, but my friend just wanted to stick with TPumps since we're already in front of it. It's odd coz I tried twinkle tea next door after two days, and I regret not going in two days ago, 101 times better than TPumps.

Loved the variety of options here. Was so hard for me to choose. Got my usual taro milk tea with boba. Lightly sweetened & oat milk which was nice.

strawberry, lychee, mango green tea
Lynn L.

ORDER strawberry mango lychee green tea (3.5/5) the flavor combinations are truly endless.. everything is up to you! the price is truly unbeatable, but i will say you pay for what you get. boba is free, but you get like 10 pearls HAHA. for my drink, the mango tasted a lil weird, so next time id just get a strawberry lychee green tea. i love the concept of everything being customizable! SERVICE (5/5) everyone was so friendly and the service was quick. AMBIANCE there are no seats available! we were able to find street parking super easily :)

With some time on my hands, I decided to head over to Two Kids Coffee to grab my morning pick-me…read moreup. On a Friday morning was not too busy at 8:30am and waited for 5-10 minutes to order my Americano. But it was a wait that didn't feel like minutes, rather it felt like seconds. The warm atmosphere of a modern Coffee Bar with minimal decoration and soft music playing in the background with the soft morning sun gleaming a tad through the window made from some cozy and cinematic vibes. My coffee came out and tasted so smooth and heart warming. It was hot but not too hot, just enough to get the cold out of my hands and heart. I sat outside where there were some chairs and enjoyed the peace of a Friday morning. Definitely a 10/10 morning for me. Parking is relatively easy and free around the neighborhood and plaza across the street, so if your nearby, please come through and enjoy a cup and relax!

The crisp taste of well-brewed coffee and chai is refreshing. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment. Also, this is a "Laptop Free Establishment." They have no available electrical outlets and no customer internet.) I arrived at Two Kids (South Pasadena) on Tuesday (around 12:28PM). Parking is free and available. Two Kids (South Pasadena) is located across from South Pasadena City Hall. There's a competitive, free lot in the rear; it's a "4 Hour Parking Limit." Also, there's available, competitive free street parking. Staff is very mellow, professional, and respectful. Staff politely answered all my questions, and Staff felt very low stress. This location is surprisingly popular, and Staff easily breaks into friendly conversation. My drink took about three minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Espresso w/ Milk & Chai ($6.75 - Iced). The drink is very underwhelming, but it's 1000% better than any chain coffee joint. The Espresso w/ Milk & Chai had a light enduring caffeine, and its flavor is very basic and simple. I would not drive a long distance for these drinks, but if I lived in the immediate area, this business is an easy spot to incorporate into a daily routine. It's affordable and good enough. On ambiance, Two Kids (South Pasadena) happily embraces its "just good enough" features. It lacks many basic amenities; there's no restroom, no customer internet, and no electrical outlets. They proudly have MANY little signs proclaiming how it's a "laptop free establishment." The location is also small; there's about two counter tables and three tiny stool tables. However, Two Kids (South Pasadena) is comfortable. I especially appreciated the air purifier and the strong ventilation. The place felt airy and refreshing. Also, the stereo system is very clear and with chill music. They even had one tiny bottle of hand sanitizer by the counter. It's also very animal friendly since I saw customers walk inside with their dogs on the leash. Overall, Two Kids (South Pasadena) feels built to serve the local community. It's not an impressive spot, but there's glimpses of passion for locals. If you live nearby Two Kids (South Pasadena), I recommend. It's not bad at all. 4.3 out of 5

I'm assuming because it isn't near the shopping areas of downtown, so it's not quite as bad. They have a designated parking area in the back of the coffee shop, but you can easily find parking on the street. We came on a Sunday morning and noticed all the seats being taken up inside. They have seats lined on the exterior of the perimeter of the store, too. The AC was blasting when we came, matching the cold, rainy temperature outside... we actually didn't end up staying here for long due to the that. When we were in line, we were able to peruse the merchandise that they had for display. Shirts, snacks, or drinkware. We also decided what items we had wanted from their menu. I was quite disappointed that they discontinued their mochi drink. I ended up getting their banana latte and my fiancé ordered their coffee coffee latte. We also ordered their beautiful dessert. Their banana latte was good but it truly tasted like an overripe banana; the type you put in your freezer to save for banana bread. I didn't quite like it. It was also topped with toffee bits, which gave the drink a new appeal. I think I preferred my fiancé's drink over mine. We ordered their Tropical Fruit dessert as well, which reminded me of the viral pastries I would see influencers eat. It had a crunch exterior made of chocolate with real mango chunks inside. It was mixed with passion fruit mousse and coconut crunch and sponge, like an almond joy bar. It was delicious but quite expensive to purchase. I'd love to try their other ones such as the Dubai chocolate one or their raspberry. Overall, the experience was quite decent. Their workers are very stressed and fixated on pumping out the drinks at a fast rate. I'd come back if I'm ever in the area, to try other drinks they have alongside their desserts.
