After having lunch next door, what better way for dessert than milk tea! I tried the Milky Way Boba. I'm very picky when it comes to milk tea but this was exceptionally good. If you're a brown sugar lover like myself, this is the drink for you. It didn't taste artificially sweetened nor overpowering of sugar. It was the right amount of sweet and tea. The boba was soft and chewy. My husband ordered a Wild Strawjito. Surprisingly, it comes with real bits of pineapple and strawberry inside. It was a mix of tea and juice. He is someone who doesn't care for sugary beverages but genuinely enjoyed this drink. We drank these so fast we forgot to take a photo. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu next time! read more

I've had Twisteas on my radar for awhile, ever since I saw the photos of their potato twists on Yelp. I finally got a chance to give them a try and was quite sad that I didn't visit Twisteas earlier. Twisteas is located in a part of Monterey Park that doesn't have too many boba shops (although if you drive five or so minutes, you'll probably hit several). It's located right off the 10 freeway on New Avenue and Hellman in a pretty tiny plaza with a very packed parking lot. Good luck finding a spot, especially as the Vietnamese restaurant seems to be quite packed. Hellman is also a pretty busy street, so be prepared for a short walk. The storefront is pretty small - most of the kitchen area takes over the space. There is a small bench area at the front of the store for people waiting for drinks or wanting to take pictures of their drinks. The layout and drink menu really reminds me of Tastea, another popular drink café located in the Orange County area. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the majority of Twistea's drinks have pre-concocted ingredients, flavors, etc. There are the classic drinks, mojiteas, their own specialized concoctions, as well as hot drinks, etc. They also have some snacks available. Workers were really friendly and eager to answer any questions that I had. I wanted to try a popular drink, but I was also craving something more tangy. I ended up choosing the Mango Tango - $3.95 with mango black tea, basil seeds, lychee bits, and mango jelly. I added boba for an additional fifty cents. I thought the drink was super refreshing and quite tasty. Price was actually on the cheaper side for the size of the drink (all drinks are one-sized). I love the fact that the drinks have various ingredients already advertised. I think you can always change it up, but adding ingredients might cost more money. Mango black tea was refreshing and definitely what I was looking for - the basil seeds and the jelly were a nice addition. I did think the boba didn't have the additional "honey" flavor that most other stores had, but the boba was cooked well and had a good consistency. My friend came by and ordered 4 drinks off their menu as well and said that her family enjoyed all the drinks that she ordered. tl;dr - Workers are really friendly. Drinks come out quickly - there's a flavor for everybody. I really liked Mango Tango, but I'm excited to return to try some of the other flavors. Don't forget the stamp card and the Yelp check-in offer! read more

My orders & recommendations: Plan Ol Milk tea - grass jelly, vanilla pudding; Jasmine Green tea - pink salt cream, matcha boba The good: Price point with drinks including toppings under $5 Note - This location is temporary closed during "safer at home" read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with some friends. One of my friends recommended it so we decided to try. I ordered the matcha slush. It comes with vanilla pudding already, but I added boba to it. The drink itself isn't as icy as a slush, more so like a smoothie. I actually preferred it to be prepared this way! The consistency, texture, and flavors were all on point! Only downside is that the drink came out to around $7.50. Pretty pricey for boba! read more

Where do I even begin teas or customer service. Food! As soon as I walked in I was greeting not only by the nice man but by the words: "mojitos","curly fries" and "mozerella sticks". I was immediately thankful I had decide to stroll on in.The worker welcomed us in a friendly matter, explaining the menu, and giving us a top secret menu item. We decided on ordering their crispy fries with the bbq kick to them, and BOYYY do they have a kick. We also added a strawberry mojito it was a "Strawjito?" and let's just say YUM. You should definitely give this small tea joint a try. read more

A fruity addition to the tea shop scene, which is nice for a change! They do a lot of fruit tea concoctions (ask which fruits are fresh if you want to avoid syrups/canned fruit) The guy making our drinks was so nice and let us try our drinks before serving it up to make sure we approved ---pineapple mojito: ordered it half sugar and it was a good amount of sweetness, refreshing with pineapple bits ---potato spiral: fried in batter with sour cream and onion powder, YUM would definitely recommend it NOTE: they have a stamp card if you want to become loyal read more

Refreshing drinks, average service. My girlfriend's family and I decided to come here after going to the Vietnamese restaurant next door. We heard it was new and highly rated so we absolutely had to try it! Food: The drinks are great. They're really refreshing and none of the toppings taste old and overcooked like some other places. Service: Service is pretty average, nothing special. I asked what were the most popular and it didn't seem like lady behind the cash register knew which ones were the most popular. I ended up getting the Summer drink with lychee jelly and it tasted really good. It had peach bits and strawberry bits in it too and I found myself sucking up the toppings even after the drink was finished! The menu is a little too large and hard to look at because they're all on different walls. If the menu was cleaned up and made to look a little nicer, I would've enjoyed my experience a little more. read more

Twistea, a tea shop that offers teas with a twist ;) I saw that it recently opened, but never checked it out till I went to Pho Ga (next door) and the owner mention I should check out his brother's place. I practically tried all their drinks and I have to say the fruity teas are the best. My favorites are Orange Tiki, Pineapple Mayhem, and Mangoade. I love how each drink has their own fruit bits and toppings. Their twisted potato is good, but I come mostly for their teas nowadays since it's messy eating that thing. The staff is always friendly and I had the chance to meet the owner, and he's awesome. He actually cares about how his drinks taste and always ask how are they. I have found my go to spot for fruity teas! Check in for 10% off and get a stamp card ~ read more

You would think with so many good boba tea shops in San Gabriel, another one is warranted. YES, it is! I was so happy I had time to drop by and try their bubble tea and twisted potato. Both were fantastic! Just recently opened, it's located inside strip lot next to Vietnamese Pho restaurant on New Ave. The store is narrow and small, but clean. Accommodations is limited to a few indoor/outdoor benches. There isn't a huge selection of drinks like some other places, but bubble tea offered here are inexpensive (everything under $4) and looks very inviting. I actually got the Jasmine green tea with with sea salt cream, matcha and honey boba. The flavor was on point and really refreshing. The actual boba had good chewy consistency. I had no trouble sucking it up my straw. Honestly, the twisted potato was pretty good! Made to order, fresh and lightly crisp. I got the sour cream n onion flavor and it was yummy. Not at all greasy and nice compliment to my boba drink. Overall, good price and good boba drinks, so I would definitely come back! Don't forget you use your 10% off Yelp Check-in offer. read more

This boba spot is in a really small plaza on the corner of Hellman and New Ave. I've tried their snacks & teas and my faves have to be Jasmine milk tea, Summer elixir, & the chili bbq fries! The drinks come with set toppings alrdy but I've always requested substitutions and they're more than happy to accomodate. It's just gonna be a little less than if it were an added-on topping but I don't really mind since I don't care for too much toppings in my drink anyway. The boba are kind of small but it's kinda cute in a way haha they aren't really mini but aren't really full sized boba either! And the fries remind me of potato corner fries which are a pretty good comparison. They also have a new popcorn chicken which I haven't been able to try yet but maybe next time! There used to be the swirled tornado potato snack but they don't have that anymore . Remember to grab a stamp card ! read more

I really came for the twisted potato but the heat was getting to me so I ordered a drink as well. I ordered the bacon&cheese and was really happy with it. Super hot, crispy, and they totally loaded it with the flavoring/powder. Strawberry Vortex which was really refreshing. The tea is super fresh as it melted all my ice. This is a tiny place as there are only a couple of benches to have a seat while you wait for your order. Their menu is super simple but unique in the drinks they have to offer. I'm coming back for another twisted potato! read more

We came here for a snack and drink on a Sunday afternoon. Very friendly service. Yummy drink choices. I wouldn't say its the best boba that I have ever had but the drinks are good and you can adjust the amount of sugar in your drink. The mozzarella sticks were good. Potato twist snacks are ok. They just added new drink choices and french fries to the menu too! Only thing is that there are no tables, just 2 benches to sit on while you wait for your order. So its more of a grab and go. read more

Swung by for the first time last month. It's an unassuming boba place that was close by to where I was having lunch. The drinks are interesting because they come with toppings already so it seems they craft their drinks very intentionally, which I really like. The guy manning the shop was super friendly (didn't catch his name) and gave me a run down of the content of the drink. I got the jasmine milk tea and was really pleasantly surprised at the boba texture and how good that was! And it was under $7 which is a pretty good price compared to other boba places nowadays. I only docked one star because I went again this past weekend and the drink was too sweet, boba a tiny bit too mushy, and guy who was there this time just didn't care as much about service. With more consistency this would be a solid 5/5. read more

It's a small drink shop in the corner of a small plaza, but don't let that fool you. The drinks are solid and the popcorn chicken is really good. We got the Milky Way, Colcaneo, and Artic Lychee. The Milky Way is a brown sugar milk with boba. You can opt for honey if you don't like brown sugar. The boba was very hot through the cup, so you can tell it is fresh. The drink has the right amount of sweetness with no adjustments. The Colcanoe is a sugarcane and coconut juice drink with coconut bits and grass jelly. They press the sugarcane there so it's made to order. The Artic Lychee is a lychee and passionfruit slush with lychee bits. Both drinks are very refreshing and hits the spot after a warm SoCal day. We opted for the Garlic Thai popcorn chicken. It has a nice crunchy texture and juicy interior. The seasonings made it smell mouthwatering, and it didn't last that long either. It's a great place to drop by. read more

Great boba and potato twist but the cashier baited us into ordering the ghost pepper garlic parmesan seasoning. "It tastes like hot Cheetos," she said. Girl, I don't know what hot Cheetos you've been eating but they don't even come close to the ghost pepper seasoning! And yes, I've tried the black "Xxtra Flamin Hot" Cheetos before. I'm sure we must have looked hilarious coughing, sniffling, and crying while eating the potato twist. It turned out to be very tasty despite the spiciness level and we finished it all! Next time I'd probably go for a regular garlic parm or the BBQ flavor though... Anyways, I hope the staff had a good laugh watching us struggle through the potato twist. Most potato twists I've had are seriously disappointing but Twisteas does a great job! read more

We initially came for the twisted potato, but ended up getting drinks as well. The price is decent here for the tea and potato (compared to how much 626 night market charges for a potato). The teas and potato, if you don't add extra toppings, is almost $4, which is nice, since most places charge more than that nowadays. We ordered the passionate tea and strawberry vortex. Both were pretty good. The passionate tea was slightly too sweet, but I think the pineapples inside helped lessen the sweetness a little. The twisted potato was crunchy and very good. It isn't as big as the ones I pay $8 for at the night market, but for half the price, it's good and I didn't need to wait 30 minutes for it. We found parking in the lot pretty easily, which was nice. It did take a little while to get everything, since only one person is working. But the drinks and potato was pretty good, and the guy working was very friendly. read more

In a little strip mall adjacent to the freeway is an unassuming boba shop. You might walk past if if you don't know what you're looking for. Inside, though, you'll find that you don't know what you were expecting in the first place, because Twisteas puts a real twist on traditional tea drinks. Fruity takes are the name of the game here. The proprietors also put a real spin on classic drinks that don't typically involve a strainer of loose leaf teas, such as mojitos and macchiatos. But despite this, it's hard to be unsatisfied with the drinks here. I ordered the Pineapple Mayhem, which comes in just one size at just $3.95. In return, my drink was made very quickly (there was only one other person in the store, but three workers behind the counter chopping up fruit and brewing drinks) and tasted delicious. Recently, I've been on a fruity tea kick, and this really hit the spot. It was a big bonus that it came with pineapple bits and lychee jelly. Their drinks also come with a fresh mint leaf muddled into the ice cubes, so if you don't like that pop of herbal tang, ask for it without. Their menus come in English and Chinese, which is a big help given the SGV's population. You might have a problem getting in and out of the lot because New Ave. is really busy, but the lot itself has plenty of parking. read more

One of the best tea spots in the San Gabriel Valley! The drinks aren't too sweet so they don't require much adjustment. I always get Razzy Raspberry and my fiance loves the Summer Elixir. If you're a fan of Tastea I recommend trying this place, they're similar but Twisteas is better! read more

Drinks are tasty and seasoned fries are addictive. Service always friendly and prompt.

Not designed to be a hangout spot, it's just a grab-and-go type of tea joint. The service is excellent and the flavors of their twisted potatoes are delicious but just too expensive for that little snack. There isn't much to say in this review, unfortunately. I ordered a Frozen Paradise Slush-Tea for the kids, sans the tea part because I didn't want them having the caffeine, so the gentleman made it with water instead and they thought it was so good. I wish this little shop lots of luck and success but personally, I wouldn't revisit. read more

It wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon. I found this place via yelp and de used to give it a try. It's a small place in a small mall area. Parking lot isn't too big, but should be sufficient. We each ordered a drink which tasted as it should. We also ordered 2 potato twists: ghost pepper one and sour cream and onion. The ghost pepper one was spicy, but I didn't think it was numbing like I've had before with wings. The sour cream and onion one also wasn't that great. It was kinda sad when the powder just fell off and onto my clothes rather than staying on the potato and into my mouth. Overall, a decent place for drinks. Would come again if in the area read more

The employees are unprofessional and condescending. Ordered 3 teas and all of them were wrong. When we asked to correct it was an issue. And it takes about 15-20 minutes for the teas to be prepared.

After eating some amazing Dim Sum in MPK and driving around SGV, my friend and I decided to checkout this nice little tea shop nearby. This place just opened about 2 months ago and I'm already planning on coming back again. The owner is really passionate about making very refreshing and delicious teas. I ordered the "Everything's Peachy" which has peach bits, aloe vera and peach black tea... I loved it! I was able to taste the juicy peach bits and aloe vera while I sipped on my drink. My friend ordered the "Plain Ol' Milk Tea" with tiny tapioca balls and it tasted really good, definitely up on the top of my list for the best milk tea. I didn't have enough room to try their Twisted Potatoes but it looked and smelled amazing. I'll have to try it next time. I loved how the place was very clean and decorated with Halloween and Fall decor. Parking wasn't hard to find but it definitely started to get packed once we left. If you're in the SGV area and craving for some tea or twisted potatoes, take my word for it and try Twisteas out! read more

The drinks were good and the staff were polite, but I'm giving this place one star because THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING COVID PROTOCOL!!!! We entered and there was man dining at the counter without his mask on. We gave him multiple dirty looks, and even the staff looked over a couple times too. Then his friend comes in, and now we have TWO maskless men in a tiny enclosed space, all while LA has 15k COVID cases PER DAY!!!! And the worst part is, they decided to take the table right by the door, so there was no way to exit without being within 6 inches of them. It was only while leaving, when one the men turned towards me and practically in my face told me to review them, which leads me to believe that they're the owners or investors. Well here's my review: you're literally killing people with your behavior. Mask up, or next time I'm taking photos and submitting them to the health inspector. read more
