    Hong Kong style Milk Tea and Twinkle Fruit Tea
    Katelyn K.

    It's been a while since my last visit to Twinkle Tea. There's two kiosk machines for you to place your order. Always love their happy hour drinks! I always get HK iced milk tea and lemon iced tea. Also ordered Strawberry Matcha and Red Dragon Fruit Smoothie to try. The design on the cups are so cute. It's my first time trying the Red Dragon Fruit Smoothie. I like it! Mild and not too sweet. Small parking lot. If you can't find parking there's street parking.

    Finally tried this place. Always hunting for good tea and they didn't disappoint. Good portions and well presented. Perfect ratio of tea and fruit. Not overwhelming with caffeine. My go to drink is their twinkle fruit tea. Never disappoints. I've never been to their location but order often via delivery apps. I'm a satisfied customer.

    Edison is always ready to help us! My mom loves him because he tries and willingly want to learn Chinese. Lol. Such a wonderful young gentleman and his energy is outstanding! My mom's favorite drink place. Love to stop in in between a meal when feeling hungry so can grab a snack and a drink. They have lots of options to choose for. I do love their Curry fish balls but it's too spicy for me! I crave it and always all spiced up with runny rose and burning tongue from the spice level and unfortunately it's pre made, and they cannot adjust the heat level. It's alright, I'll just get 2 lemon tea next to me while I'll eat it. Worth the spicy torture (I'm a light weight) lol! Also love their HK style mochi waffles and chicken nuggets! If you go there, say hi to Edison for me and my Canto mom!!

    Happy hour drink, lemon tea and Hk Mike tea

    My favorite foods is here, and their services are excellent , love it and will come back more often

    Stopped by on Friday, 08/08/25 again with my boyfriend (another spontaneous decision to meet up for boba after a long week)! Ordered the following: - 1 vanilla ice cream = $1 - 1 twinkle coffee brown sugar, 75% sugar, extra ice, whole milk = $4.95 / added boba which was an additional $0.75 - 1 fried chicken nugget with BBQ sauce = $4 - 3 matcha ice cream ($2 each) = $6 - 1 fluffy uji matcha, 35% sugar, less ice = $4.95 / added agar boba which was an additional $0.75 as well as unsweetened oat milk which was an additional $1 - 1 matcha egg puffs = $6.99 - 1 red bean eff puffs = $6.99 SUBTOTAL = $45.08 TAX = $4.72 TOTAL = $49.80 Sooo good as always. *** PSA: Their one=scoop matcha is now $2 (used to be $1). ***

    Matcha Cheese is highly recommended. Matcha strawberry boba and Brown sugar Milk tea are good.

    Mango Lemonade
    Ben L.

    Came back again since I was running around all day and the food was actually good. Spam with the cup of noodles and broth was filling it had crunchy garlic on top and the egg was cooked well. It also came with a little packet of chili oil. Chubby guy with the face mask who worked the night before was very courteous. So def recommend this place again.

    Kiosk!
    Francisco M.

    There's a small lot to park but it's usually not a problem. There's very limited seating so you're likely taking your drink to-go. Otherwise, the chill atmosphere can be a great place to study. They have two kiosks! The service has always been quick but can be impacted during a rush. I've tried a few drinks here. They've all been tasty. The blueberry smoothie was great. I tried the matcha banana smoothie this time at 75% sweet. It was pretty good! I'm even considering full sweetness mext time. The strawberry lemonade definitely could've been less sweet for me personally. There's still loads of drinks I want to try and some food.

    Fried tofu
    Lianne C.

    twinkle tea has been the local spot for over 10 years for me. it's nostalgic, quality is good and they never miss! I also love that they sell a huge assortment of snacks, so if you're feeling peckish and thirsty, it's a one stop shop. I typically get the taiwanese fried chicken but this time wanted some fried tofu. They have a dry chili seasoning but give you the option of two sauces without any additional cost (which is amazing in this economy). Their fried tofu is like a blank canvas, done very simply so choose their house sauce or your fav go-to. I haven't been around to try more of their items, but I love supporting local businesses. They do get busy around after-school times but the wait is not too bad.

    HK Pancake
    Kelly L.

    This time I came by for some small bites, Fried Tofu was my favorite, it had great crispy texture w/ there signature sauce. I really liked the sweet potato fries & Hong Kong pancake too. I would definitely get the tofu everytime. I've been coming here since it first opened and I haven't been back in awhile. But every is pretty good, for a boba spot w/ a good amount of drink and food options. No seating inside, you can self order on kiosk, I usually place an online order for pickup. They have a rewards system on the toast website. I like how they have a small parking lot w/ a few spots, right next to the Bank of America. But plenty of street parking around. I would say their drinks are good. My favorites would be Honey Fluffy GT, Rose GMT, Sea Salt Thai Tea, Hawaiian Fruit Tea. They have a happy hour deal on HK (Hong Kong) lemon iced tea or HK Milk Tea for $2.99. Very good deal for a good classic drink!

    Mango Grapefruit Coconut Slush, Boba Milk Tea, and Matcha Red Bean Egg Puffs
    Dorothy C.

    Having the egg waffles with matcha and red bean. Fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy on the edges. Also recommended is the matcha ice cream that they mix themselves. For drinks I've lately been enjoying the newer mango grapefruit coconut slush. Really chunky with mango bits and pulp but no sago like other places' mango pomelo drinks. 50% sugar and it's perfect. Still get the reliable hot red bean milk tea for when I want to warm up (that was last night). So delicious and relaxing. Other continuous favorites are the grapefruit tea and various fruit mixes with oolong tea. Love the oolong here. Other places are always hit and miss for oolong tea. Just noticed the super cute artwork on their kiosk screens too!

    Jasmine fruit tea
    Finno W.

    Twinkle Tea in Alhambra is a great and very convenient spot. The service was fast and efficient. I ordered the jasmine fruit tea, and it's my favorite drink here--loaded with fruity chunks and the taste was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. I also noticed they had a buy-one-get-one deal on Uber Eats today, so I didn't hesitate to order. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

    6/10
    Justine R.

    First timer, my sister-in-law's took me here for a Bubba. I actually thought I was going to like this drink so much but I didn't. There's so many options on the menu so I can't see that I wouldn't go back here because I haven't tried enough drinks to say this place is a no go for me But the drink I got definitely never getting again. It was on the sweet side like super sweet, but this place did seem very popular and busy. They had orders off the chain the vibes inside the café were also very chill. The staff was chill. They offer free Wi-Fi and they also offer food as well, but I didn't try any of that so I can't speak on that.

    Tiny store but serves big flavors! Amazing!!! Need to go back!!…read more One of the best sugar cane drinks I've ever had! (Better than Vita Cane in my opinion) All natural juices, no added sugars, no preservatives, made fresh daily! Half Cane Half Coco (half sugar cane and half coconut, large, iced, $9 plus tax) The sugar cane flavor was super prominent, and it tasted so good! It also comes with a few pieces of coconut. Glad that they didn't add too much ice. Would have loved to get it without ice, but $15 for a large without ice is quite pricey. They also have a special deal for the day, not sure how often they change the deals, but you could get a medium drink of their special for $5.50 which is not bad! The special for today was the pineapple sugarcane. The menu is not super big, which I like, while still having a good number of options. They have a kiosk for you to order or you can order with the staff. The staff member was nice to give me some recs when I asked what's popular. They also have dehydrated chili mango for sale on the side for $6.50 per container. The inside was nice and clean. I don't recall if there are seats. It's mostly an order-and-go type of place. It wasn't busy when I went around 1pm, and the drink only took 3 minutes to be ready! Lots of parking spaces in the parking lot shared with other businesses. Fresh Cane has its own reserved parking right in front of their store, so that was very convenient! Never knew a store like this existed so close to me!! I was in desperate need of hydration, so I decided to check this place out and I'm so glad I did! Highly recommend!!

I don't know how much mold was there and how long has it been there, but felt very grossed out. Then I took a look at the date on the package - it was packed on 3/8, and today is already 3/12!
