I've come back recently (twice) and forgotten how good their drinks are. The service has improved, so I increased their rating. Cashiers are friendly and HAPPY! It's always clean in here and they had their AC on during these hot days!!! So it was pleasant in here. I got a mango lemonade and a fluffy signature milk tea. I suggest signing up for their rewards! read more

I came to this place twice in one day because I couldn't get enough of their Ceylon Black Tea Slush! I ordered it with 75% sugar, and it was absolutely perfect--not too sweet and so refreshing! With the weather being so hot, this drink is exactly what I needed. It's delicious, refreshing, and definitely something I'll be coming back for. Highly recommend giving it a try! ordered through Ubereats read more

Sort of like you get what you paid for. It's cheap since they have some good deal, but the boba's texture was mediocre. Not enough boba. Egg waffle had coconut flavor for some reason.. and ice cream was like already melted once and froze again. No. I'd rather pay a little more to get tasty stuff. Not worth the calories or money. Sort of reminds me of quickly.. read more

This place just gets better and better. The prices were unbeatable. Thank you for not charging like $7-$8 for a drink. Nowadays, a lot of boba places are overrated and pricey. The snacks here were awesome. Whenever here, I tend to order the corn nuggets. So good!! Another snack I started liking was the popcorn chicken. Most places don't add the basil anymore. Right here, they would put lots. The flavors were amazing. They made it with garlic. So tasty!! I recently tried their egg waffles. When they started making it, I noticed the aroma. It was very familiar. It wasn't like other egg waffles at the Hong Kong cafes. They made it with light coconut. Kind of like a Vietnamese style waffle. Pretty good. The drinks...so worth the price. I got a lemon tea for $2.99!! Amazing!! All the snacks came with a sauce. Snacks came out piping hot. The owners here are great. A while back, I was buying drinks for my workplace. At the time, the drinks promotion was no longer avail. I called asking if they would still honor the promotion. I was getting it for work. They agreed without hesitation. They opened late. A great place for late night snacks. read more

One of my longtime favorite boba shops in the SGV that is pretty much a neighborhood staple. This is a very small shop with minimal seating, so it leans more towards a takeout type of boba shop. There are 2 self-order kiosks, making ordering a quick and easy experience. Although the menu is huge, the tea quality remains excellent with customizable sweetness and ice levels. I really like the "create your own tea" option, which not many boba shops offer nowadays. Some of mine and my husband's favorite drinks from here are the Uji Matcha Latte, Fluffy Roasted Oolong Milk Tea, Oreo Milk Tea, and Twinkle Fruit Tea. Each drink tastes like it is made of real brewed tea rather than artificial tea mixes. Also, I have to mention the amazing value of their HK Iced Milk Tea, which is a great and affordable drink option. The cute cups are just a bonus to the tea-forward drinks. As for food, we really like the Hong Kong style egg puff waffle and popcorn chicken. Both of these are great snacks for sharing or just for yourself. For the egg puff waffle, you even have the option to get it extra crispy, depending on your preference. I like that the waffle is only mildly sweet and buttery. The egg flavor really stands out. As for the popcorn chicken, it is juicy and heavily seasoned. There are several different spice levels to choose between and comes with a dipping sauce. read more

Really enjoyed the atmosphere here. It was a hot day, so this was a nice place to cool down, relax, and enjoy my milk tea. The environment felt calm and comfortable, and I liked that there wasn't much noise or anything distracting me while I was sitting there. The milk tea was refreshing and the overall café vibe made the experience even better. I'd definitely come back when I want a quiet place to chill and grab a drink. read more

Twinkle Tea - Alhambra - Refreshing milk tea, relaxing atmosphere, and a peaceful escape from the heat. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Still one of my favorite go to spots for a snack and drinks. Ordering online is kind of a must if you want to avoid the wait. There seems to be always a wait here because of the amount of orders so I highly recommend that. Service here is decent at best, it's always busy so staff is busy working rather than handing out orders. Sometimes you'll have to ask for your drink to avoid the drinks being sat on the counter for too long. Since their parking lot is essentially non existent with very little space, you can resort to parking in the parking lot next door, plenty of spots over there. Never had the chance to try their "create your own drink" but in time, I shall try that. I've always trended towards their "most popular drinks" board which is always on point. They have updated their cup design to cuter ones, and are picture worthy regardless of the drink you get. I highly recommend the brown sugar milk tea and the Uji Matcha Latte. As a huge fan of egg waffle puffs, I had to try Twinkle Tea's options. The original is already pretty tasty, it's on the sweeter side of the puffs but each bite is full of flavor. You have the choice to add ice cream scoops and various fruits on it which I recommend but it does make it extra sweet. read more

The grapefruit green tea was refreshing, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the condensed milk brick toast, which was sweet, creamy, and not overly sugary, making it a great dessert to pair with our drinks. Besides their beverages and desserts, they also offer a variety of fast-food snacks, including chicken nuggets, French fries, and sandwiches, making it a great spot for a quick bite or an afternoon hangout. read more

Came for a late night waffle and chicken Sando. Waffle was great, not oily and just the right amount for sweet. Dipping sauce paired well, strawberry glaze. Chicken sandwich was not small at all and pretty filling. Good spot to hit for a late night craving. It was not too busy but lots of luck up ordered and students studying, good vibes from the staff. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

I had Twinkle Tea cater my wedding, and we ordered 300 12oz cups. I chose Twinkle Tea because it's a local mom-and-pop shop I've known about since high school, and I've seen on social media that they cater many events. They offer smaller cup sizes, which were perfect for our wedding guests, plus a wide variety of drinks and toppings to mix and match. We selected three different drinks and toppings, customizing the sugar level for each one. Amy, who coordinated with us, was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the planning process and helped finalize our order smoothly. At the wedding, the drinks were a huge hit. They were gone within half an hour of serving! We're very happy with how everything turned out and would definitely order from Twinkle Tea again for future events. read more

Terrible service. The employee was rude when I ordered, and customers behind us with multiple drinks got theirs before my single drink. When I asked about mine, he said, "We're working on it," without looking up or acknowledging me, even though I could see my drink sitting there. He made another drink before finally handing me mine--and it was wrong. When I asked him to remake it, he rolled his eyes, and they just poured the same drink into a new cup instead of remaking it. As they handed me the drink, I overheard the cashier say what sounded like an anti-Mexican slur in Chinese. This made me believe I was targeted because I am Mexican and made the experience feel discriminatory and deeply disrespectful. read more

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. read more

The store itself is pretty small but there is seating inside if you want to hang out. read more

Refreshments and snacks! I had an hour drive to my destination and decided to make a pit-stop for a quick snack. Order online, or the kiosk at the entrance. I saw Matcha ice cream as an add-on topping, it was perfect!! They have many iced and hot drinks, flavors, and toppings. Choose tea, juice or a smoothie. I was a little overwhelmed on what to choose, but the kiosk had nice photos and the cashier was helpful by answering questions and making recommendations. There was a special on boneless chicken nuggets, $4 for a 10-piece order, it was a perfect and light snack. Other food items were popcorn chicken, French fries, and fried tofu. Create your own beverage or try one of the list of their most popular drinks. Check them out when you're in the area. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

Another place that serves watered down milk tea drinks. If you want any alternative milk other than coffee creamer, you'd have to spend more money. Coffee creamer ruins everything. Hard pass. read more

Honestly I would say this is the best boba spot in SGV. This boba spot has been here for a long time and they have so many options. They serve food as well like spam & egg sandwich, house beef sandwich, popcorn chicken and even ramen. I love their customer service as well, I always be coming here to get a quick boba. They have a couple of tables you can sit around and chill. I love their lemon tea, Thai tea, milk tea, Oreo smoothie, Jasmine milk tea, and etc. Check it out! You won't regret it. read more

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. read more

Twinkle Tea - Alhambra - Kiosk! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I have been coming here before COVID shutdown. I'm glad they are still serving the community. Although I'm a little saddened that they changed their table situation because it was one of my favorite places to come and study. Also, I'm sure a lot of young local students saddened as well. It was their hangout after school waiting for parents to pick them up. Besides from that, the service is wonderful and the drinks is amazingly delicious. It's definitely my sister's family favorite when they come to visit me from NorCal. read more
