I love that you are able to pick up to three flavors for your drink. Tpumps really allows you to customize your drink to your liking. They also have the option for green or black tea, to add milk (to make it a milk tea), adjust sweetness/ice, and for add-ons. I got the combination of lychee, watermelon, and peach for my latest visit! I liked the combination of those flavors. I also added boba bran (which I think is chia seeds, but I could be wrong). Give it a try if you haven't! read more

Tpumps - Upland - Lychee + Watermelon + Peach with boba bran - Bubble Tea Near Me - Upland, California

Use to go to t pumps like 4 times a week. Past couple times we've gone the drinks aren't made right. Not sure if they hired new people or changed something but it is not good at all, the slushes are way too chunky and watered down. Going to have to find a new place sadly fix this please ! read more

The most delicious tea and boba! They are my favorite! The people working here are very nice too!

Last time I had Tpumps was more than 3 years ago. Their drinks are pretty consistent, and the rose vanilla green milk tea met my expectations. What brought me back was their boba. I love the texture and the sweetness of their honey boba, but I wish they a little gave more given the larger size of their cups. I also recommend ordering 50-75% for the sweetness, I notice their drinks tend to be on the sweeter side. You can order at the counter or through a QR code. There was no line so we ordered up front and the drinks came out in less than 5 minutes. read more

Tpumps - Upland - Rose Vanilla Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Upland, California

Came here on a late weekend night to drink some boba and catch up with a friend. They stay open till 1030 at night, which is pretty nice. It says on yelp that they are classified also as a coffee shop. They don't have coffee here. Limited amount of seating inside since most of the high top tables don't have stools. They have 1 couch in the corner that you can sit on if you want. Fortunately they have 1 or 2 tables outside that we were able to congregate around. I ordered their rose vanilla green milk tea with no boba regular sugar. Drinks come out really quickly. Less than 5 minutes. The taste is really good. You taste the rose flavor, you taste the vanilla flavor. It was light yet full of flavors. Intense yet not over powering. Definitely refreshing. They even have a taste sampler in the middle of the room, while you wait to order your drinks. They have small sampler cups where you can try the drink. I forgot what it was (they tell you), but it was really good as well. My friend ordered the blackberry peach black tea and he also stated it tasted really good. They seem to make really nice drinks, I'll have to try their boba and toppings in the future. But solid boba spot, that I will be frequenting more often!! read more

I wanted to like this place but it was kinda hard to when the drinks were way too sweet and artificial tasting. Every drink my family got tasted so sugary and sweet and the rose green tea one didn't even taste like rose it tasted more cinnamon like. Service was good though and there were samples but I didn't like any of them as they were too sweet. The worker did offer a flavor that was less artificial but it was at 100% sweetness so I got that one and ordered it at the Lowest percentage expecting it to not be as sweet and it still tasted sweet. Maybe it's just my taste buds but I couldn't finish it and just gave it to my sister instead because she likes sweet stuff. My family also had to water down their drinks when they got home because it was like drinking syrup. The ambiance is cute with whiteboards everywhere but the drinks hurt my stomach with the sugary feeling and taste that I don't want to come back again. Nice place, not for me. Drinks I would not recommend 100% that were not able to be sampled upfront: Lychee strawberry (very artificial and sweet) Watermelon strawberry (expected refreshing but got super artificial and sweet syrup instead) Overall score: 2.5 read more

Since this place is so far I only come if I'm in the area. I was driving back from Big Bear so I decided to stop by. During covid they closed off the store and you order outside at the register which is at the door. The drinks come really fast. I got my usual (peach rose green milk tea, less sweet, honey boba). Still good as always. Why the 4 stars? I felt like it they don't give enough boba for the large size cup. I think they gave like 20 balls for a ginormous cup. The ratio was too low for how many sips you would be taking. Could you please adjust your boba to drink ratio? Otherwise, it's still good and can't beat the price. Less than $5 for a big cup! read more

Rose Vanilla Green Milk Tea: 3/5 My dog had a vet appointment in the area, so I decided to find a cafe to crank out some work. This led me to venture up to distant lands (haha) to Tpumps. After coming here, it wasn't what I was expecting. This isn't a traditional boba milk tea shop, where the emphasis is on the brewing of the tea and variations of types of teas used. Instead, the focus is on the pumps of syrup added to your tea. This results in more westernized flavor of tea that I haven't had before. This isn't a bad thing, but more so an expectation to have when coming here. Flavor wise, this would be like if Ding Tea and Starbucks had a baby. The rose vanilla green milk tea I had reminded me of the smell of a grandma and scented candles. Not a very palatable flavor. As a work spot, not exactly my cup of tea (pun unintended). The seats arent very comfortable, and the music played is mostly some Post Malone, making me reminisce about lost opportunities from the past. All in all, a so-so place to whet your tea craving. read more

Tpumps - Upland - Kinda smells like a grandma or scented candle haha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Upland, California

Five stars is a given for tpumps as we are here basically every Tuesday for Tpump Tuesday ( free upgrade to large). Drinks are very tasty and customization is easy. Boba comes in the price of the drink which is nice. They have slowly raised their prices over the years but that's ok. Boba is always so soft and chewy and our drinks are almost always perfect. Today's drink wasn't filled all the way. Didn't deduct a star since it doesnt happen everytime. We drive from Riverside but regardless make sure to check their Instagram page to make sure they're open! We were here last Tuesday and they were closed :( read more

Tpumps - Upland - Lavender rose blueberry green milk tea. a bit sad it's not filled all the way... - Bubble Tea Near Me - Upland, California

Looks like this place took heed to multiple reviews asking for more boba portions because my drink had plenty this time. BUT it was weirdly chewy as if gelatin was used. I couldn't finish my drink so I put it in the fridge overnight, fully expecting the boba to be hard (as what happens to fresh boba if you refrigerate it) and it had the same chewy gelatinous texture. Pretty weird to witness. I make my own boba so I have at least some sort of idea what happens in the cooking process and how good boba should be. But the jello texture of this batch was just too weird. I got the strawberry rose green milk tea. Once again, lack of rose flavor. But the strawberry was good. My brother ordered for me: light sugar and light ice, but I wonder if he accidentally said less sugar instead because this thing was really sweet. My overall rating is mainly based on the gelatine texture of the boba and the fact it was still abnormally the same even after a night of being in the fridge. read more

Tpumps - Upland - Strawberry, peach, and rose green tea with very little boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Upland, California

My boyfriend surprised me with a hot rose vanilla green milk tea with boba from Tpumps. Their milk tea seems to run on the sweeter side. I could definitely taste the floral notes from the rose. The boba was also warm and chewy. Tpumps offers an interesting selection of flavors and combinations. I want to try their iced drinks next time. read more

Tpumps - Upland - Rose Vanilla Green Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Upland, California

Back when Tpumps first opened up in Pasadena, the lines were crazy as all the SoCal residents were able to finally get a taste of NorCal's popular boba joint. But seeing that they primarily specialize in syrup flavored drinks, I really don't get the hype - especially after I've tried it several times. But this was my first time trying Upland's location - there's sadly not too many legitimate boba shops in the area and I didn't really want anything from the boba place I frequent, so I made the drive over to Tpumps to get myself a lighter, fruitier drink. The shop is located in a big plaza with tons of parking. The outside looks quite old and rundown with super tinted windows. I wasn't sure if the place was still open or not. Once inside, they do have drink samples of concoctions they've made that day which I think is nice. If you're not familiar with the menu, you basically choose your size and syrup flavoring (you can pick up to 3), the type of tea you want, if you want any milk (only lactose free creamer is included; you have to pay $0.50 more for milk), if you want to adjust sweetness or ice levels, and what toppings you want in the drink (1 free topping is included in the drink price). For around $4, you get a 24 oz. drink that includes boba, which isn't bad. But I don't feel like the tea that Tpump makes is comparable to other boba shops. I ended up ordering a mango honey green tea with boba. The drink was not bad and along the lines of what I was craving. Boba was cooked well and was nice and chewy - not sweet though. I adjusted for less sugar, but not sure how they do that if they just use syrups (maybe fewer pumps?). For around $4, the drink was decent. Got a pretty sweet but tasty mango tea. You can also adjust your drink if you're not satisfied with the end result, which is nice. The worker taking my order did not look like he wanted to be there. Super unenthusiastic as I asked a few questions, which was quite off-putting. They take credit cards and they also have pre-made teas for $2 (without flavoring or with limited flavoring) in the fridge by the pick-up counter. And there's the Tuesday special where all drinks are automatically upgraded to the 32 oz. size. tl;dr - Meh, the tea is not bad. You get more of the syrup flavoring than the tea flavoring. read more

Best boba in upland. Drinks are NEVER too sweet, and taste consistent every time I go. Boba is also made fresh and delicious

When I came to the store, I wasn't sure if it was open since it was Memorial Day. I opened the doors and was welcomed by very friendly smiles. Whenever I try a new boba place, I always see if I can order an Oolong Milk Tea w/ Boba so that I can compare it to all of the other places I've been to. Luckily they were offering it, so I ordered just that! There were a lot of options to choose from though and there's a plethora of combinations that you can create. The drink was really good and comparable to some of the top places that I've been to thus far. The staff was super friendly and guided my partner and I through choosing our drinks. They have a fridge near the back that had complimentary water as well as pre-prepared drinks that were being sold for a cheaper price-- very considerate of them! Definitely will go back and try some new flavors out next time! read more

5/29/23 - This is one of my top 3 boba places! My go-to is a brown sugar + marshmallow milk tea w/ boba. They didn't have brown sugar when I went, but that's okay because the bobarista was really kind and helpful when I was getting her advice on what flavors would be best to get instead. With her help, I decided on getting a cookie dough + marshmallow milk tea! I really like the concept they have of being able to choose up to 3 flavors for your tea and I haven't seen this at any other boba place I've been to. I especially love how they have sample teas right by the door. The flavor combinations are always really good and I love trying them to see what other teas I would want to try next time. read more

IMGO. This place used to be good. I went the other day and the boba was meh the popping boba had a bad taste to it, idk maybe it was bad. Tea was very sweet when I asked for normal sweet and had no tea flavor. I got a few fruit syrups and it was just bad.i couldn't even finish the drink and threw it out. I used to go here all the time but that's the last time I will hunty. Just sayin... read more

Never really craved Tpumps and still haven't but definitely a boba /tea shop contender. My sister and cousins love this place and tbh it's growing on me ever since I tried their rose vanilla green milk tea! It has great flavor and quenches the milk tea craving ! The boba is always cooked very well, soft and chewy. They offer a number of customer favorites and what they are known for but you have the ability to curate your own drink (I used to do that but after a couple failed attempts I've stuck to their favorites lol) Also a great thing about this place is they always have newly curated teas that they let you sample. Upon walking in they have a jug for you to try but also some times team members are greeting customers with other teas they have come up with which is great in case you have no idea what you want. read more

Drinks: - If you know how to make your perfect boba drink, this is the perfect place for you. Unfortunately majority of the time it may be a dud, but with constant configuration options you'll eventually get the perfect balance for your boba drink. - This boba spot is unique as you can get creative with the choices you make in making your boba drink; no other boba spot I've been to has done this before. Customer Service: - Great service - The team sometimes offers free boba drink samples as they get creative with their own concoctions. - The team is knowledgeable in the attempt to make you drink just right. Price: - $ Ambience/Location: - Comfy couch if available. - Great spot to kickback. Will I come back?: - Yes, if I am ever in the area. Last time was in January 2017 and I never have the urge or craving to go, but when I do I only like one boba drink from here; I have the perfect combination shared by one of the team members there, and haven't had anything else like it. If you're interested in that particular boba drink I like, check out my posted picture of the boba drink with the ingredients written on it then show it to the team member working there so they can make it. Enjoy! read more

Fast service. The drinks are good. Staff is also nice and work fast to provide service.

This place still have the best prices around! Of course all theIr flavors are artificially made so I guess the price diference. They have a big variety of flavors to choose from and a bunch of teenagers making your drinks. Do not come around 3pm, since they are right across a high school and it gets pretty busy at this time. The lines can take easily 15m before you order your drink. Bobas are not my thing but my teenager loves this place. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program so you can get free bobas! read more

Have you ever been to a place that just makes you giggle and jump for joy? Out of ALL and I mean ALL of the boba spots I have been too, this place does it for me! My loyalty is so deep that I stopped drinking boba in Santa Barbara and I only have boba at TPumps when I'm in the area. Service? Amazing!!! Drinks? FANTASTIC!! My faves are Rose Vanilla Milk Tea, Guava Peach Green Tea and the Lemon Tangerine! There are so much more but that is just a few. The best thing about this place is not just the things I listed above but the samples that you can try while waiting in line. Every time I try a new sample drink, I fall in love over and over! TPumps, you are just everything and more! Please open more locations! read more

Best tea ever!!! This review is long overdue! This tea shop allows you to create whatever tea your heart desires. From green tea to black tea... to caffeinated or non caffeinated with a host of flavors/toppings and a mission statement that happily allows your barista to make your drink again if your not satisfied. They are very generous with their samples and they even have a reward system! Stop what you're doing now and go today! read more

This review is going to be an ongoing list of drinks I've tried and how I feel about them. The overall service here is consistent. The quality depends on how you like your drinks. If you need non-caffeinated and non-dairy creamers then this is a better place for you. I personally prefer better sweeteners than syrup pumps and coffee creamer but it's close and my friends like it so here I am. - Coconut Salted Caramel Black Milk Tea: Mostly resembles a milk tea. The sign advertises it as creamy, sweet, and salty. It's creamy and sweet but the salty is not there. read more

To be honest this place need to change the sugar, tho. The tea it self super duper sweet, and really not good for me. Better to spent money on the other boba place like Bearylicious which is the tea is unsweetened and they have so much good flavor than this place. read more

First of all I actually used to like this place. The milk teas, tea mixtures and combinations are great. Service could be better, but what do you expect from a bunch of young men and women. All good. No complaints My problem is when I walk in with my young child and hear Nothing but F#*% this and F**# that over the radio.. then I have a problem. I don't know who the manager is or to what Standard he or she holds these young workers to, but COME ON. Some of us parents are trying to preserve the innocence of our children and their minds before sending them out into this consumable and corruptible world. They will have to face it enough when they are older, why as a consumer wanting to reward his kid with a sweet tea drink have you walk into basically a club radio environment. Thank you T pumps for making want to go somewhere else from now on. Parents be warned if you have little ones and don't want to let them hear bad words yet. ( and yes I get I may have old morals, but guess what... old morals is what this country was founded on) read more

Boba milk tea is one of my favorite drinks. I like to try different places to discover all the different flavors of tea. We came to Tpumps because we heard it was really good. Walking in you feel very welcome, free samples and smiles everywhere. I had a hard time deciding what to get, everything sounded amazing! I ended up ordering the Rose vanilla green tea with milk and boba. First sip, instant happiness! First boba, deliciousness! You can tell the tea and boba are very good quality and the flavors are natural and unique. The sizes of their cups are bigger and cheaper than other places. A huge plus is that on Tuesdays you get to upgrade to large for free :) Highly recommend this place. read more

Something about Tpumps that stands out to me compared to any other boba chain is the customization options.

The pros of this place is the super customization of your drinks. The choices offered here are wide and array. I like that they use the sealed top cups and have the wide cups available. They'll offer samples while you wait in line. And of course, it's priced pretty cheap compared to other boba places. The cons? The crazy lines. I also feel like their teas aren't of good quality. It mainly tastes like a whole bunch of syrups and sugar. It is not really my style. There are some seating but with the crazy lines, it's not very relaxing. And they don't offer any food or snacks- all drinks at this place. read more

two words. TPUMP TUESDAYS!!! I came to TPumps on Tuesday and got the Coconut Salted Caramel Black Milk Tea! Just like the menu says, it was sweet, salty and creamy. I really liked how the flavours worked with each other and the coconut taste wasn't too overpowering. Definitely recommend this if you're trying something different than the Rose Vanilla Green Milk Tea (my usual go to). My friend got the Almond Roca Raspberry Vanilla Black Tea! She really liked the drink and said that it tasted like a raspberry cheesecake (just like the menu description says)!! She would recommend getting not the full sweetness because full sweetness was a lot for her, but it all depends on your taste buds. Tip: On Tuesdays, you pay for the price of a regular but get a large! Also, the line might be long, so be prepared for that!! read more

Came here after experiencing an Escape Room. This place had a line out of the door, so we decided it had to be good! I got the Peach Rose Green Tea with almond milk and chose light sweetness and no boba. Be warned, this place is really sweet! Even at light sweetness I thought the sugar was just too high! I only drank a quarter of it before I stuck it in my fridge it was just too much - next time I'm getting no sweet! However, I could taste the peach and rose tea flavor - that came through nicely but that sugar, man. I couldn't get that taste out of my mouth. Bonus: There were two samples of their tea (one hot, one cold). Both were at full sweetness. Also, if you need to use the bathroom, ask the person behind the counter. My fiance didn't know that and thought someone was taking forever in the loo! read more

ordered two teas one with matcha and the only reason they had "flavor" was because of the lychee jelly. the teas were like water. not sure how you water down matcha so much to where you can't taste it. when you get your drink, drink from the middle and not with your boba or jelly. there will be no flavor to it other than a severely watered down tea. read more
