Mango passion smoothie
Ed A.

Very affordable and the drink was so delicious. The woman working here is the sweetest! I asked about the mango passion drink and she described the ingredients then started recommending a lot of related drinks. The service is a 10/10!

Black milk tea w/ boba
Jamila S.

I love that they brew their tea from leaf rather than using a powder. All their teas are dairy free with the exception of the Thai tea, which they use half and half because it's strong. The owner is super friendly, and personable! This is def a business we want to have in Modesto, so make sure you support small business! If you're looking for dairy free milk tea options, this is your place!

Snack menu

Originally wanted calamari but that was part of a older menu and now they don't have it, so I thought I'd post a more updated one. Milk teas and boba were good, the popcorn chicken tasted good but would've been better if it was crunchier, and the fries tasted old and reheated. Service was great, very friendly, and got everything really fast. Still a solid spot if you're craving boba and snacks especially for downtown Modesto.

I had this random craving for Milk Tea with boba and popcorn chicken, and so being that we were driving through Modesto- I searched Yelp for the most rated and highest star reviewed spot... T-Cups Cafe is located in the heart of Downtown Modesto, adjacent to the Brennen Theaters, neighboring Jamba Juice. Upon walking in, I had to question if they were open or not because the interior looked dark, there wasn't a sign stating "open" plus it didn't look like anyone was inside. I walk in and immediately you're welcomed with a sweet sugary smell, it made me smile, lol. The only lady working the behind the counter greeted me and then continued to work. T-Cup is spacious with a chill spot area that consists of couches and tables throughout. There was a slight eerie vibe tho, cuz it was too quiet between the sounds of frying and blending every now and then. The nice lady took my order which consisted of Black Milk Tea w/ Boba ($2.95) and T-pop Chicken ($5.45). I waiting about 10 minutes then received my order. I had asked for no ice, but she still put ice in it. Oh well, this wasn't a deal breaker for me, but my milk tea had a weird after taste. I still prefer Tapioca Express's Milk Tea. For the T-Pop chicken, these were MEH-ok. They didn't have much of a flavor to them, and since they are basically fried pieces of chicken- you control how spicy since the spicy cayenne power is found to the side with the other condiments. I wished that the chicken was cooked/ fried with basil and the cayenne pepper already. This would add so much more flavor, again I prefer TapEx's chicken.

Large honeydew milk tea with house pudding and milk pudding
Dan C.

I had a mighty craving for some melon tea with pudding and I managed to find this place. The owner(?) at the front was very friendly and funny as she took my order and made my drink. I got the biggest size of honeydew milk tea with both milk pudding and their egg pudding. I was in a super sweet fruity drink kind of mood and this was just what I was looking for, just sweet enough and not too artificial-tasting. I'll be sure to come back whenever the hankering returns again

I've been really contemplating what rating to give this establishment. Let me simply just tell you the pro's and con's of this place maybe it'll be more simpler to explain. Pro's: - The ice cream is delicious - calamari is bomb.com - Fries are yummy - FUNNEL CAKE IS THE BESSSSSSSSSTTT I've ever had - Fair prices - Quick to get your order out So, all in all the desserts and most of it's food is pretty good. Con's: - WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE that I rather wished a robot took my order instead. So bad that it was awkward. - The boba tea here makes my stomach hurt, Everytime! Not just mine but my sisters too. - They're closed on sundays- What the actual fudge???? Overall, don't get their boba tea and if you don't care about customer service then this establishment wont bother you.

Front store menu

We were in the area. My son goes here for lunch from time to time. We came in and the owner was very friendly. Took our order of drinks and a popcorn chicken. It took us 5 minutes of waiting- that's fast! Drink was good. Boba needs to add a bit of honey of flavor it up. I would come back here for my drinks and will try out their food menu. Support local mama/pops shop

Vietnamese "cold cuts" sandwich $4.45 and Strawberry Dream Smooth
Thien H.

I like their pearl tea so far. The avocado smoothie was good, but I prefer the strawberry. You can adjust the sweetness of your smoothie to your liking. It makes me happy that after they seal the cup with plastic on top, they take the time to thoroughly shake your cup so that the pearls/boba are more evenly distributed throughout the smoothie. The fried chicken was alright. The cold cuts sandwich was also okay. The meats they put in their version of the sandwich are not my favorite. I'm excited to try their fried desserts. I'll have to wait until next time. It's super close to Brenden Theaters downtown so I'll consider stopping here before a movie. The employees here are friendly. They have a stamp card where you can earn a free drink, so get one if you plan on returning.

Coconut waffle
Winnie G.

I was surprised to find a place in Modesto that serves pandan waffles (coconut waffle on the menu); it's hard enough to find them here in the Bay Area! Looking for a dessert after heavy eating and some drinking, nothing like my favorite hong kong snacks to call it a night. Stopped by T-cups to order just that. Easy to find and great that they're opened until midnight! The menu was extremely extensive from fried snacks to drinks or just about anything you can think of! I skipped the drinks and ordered the coconut waffle (2.95) and the fried fish balls. Fishballs came first and they were exactly what I imagined. A little bit of salt and pepper and nicely fried. The waffle came next, it was fluffy and thick- I expected a lot less, but it was impressive in size and price! Great little piece of home away from home. Great place to hang out for snacks and desserts if you're craving boba or even for a easy quick dinner. They have combo meals and crepes! Just all their prices are more than beyond reasonable and it's made to order. So it's above your typical Quicklys. Nothing better than support your local business. Oh did I mention that they take card too?

We stopped in for the first time today. I had no idea what to expect, but was slightly underwhelmed…read moreby the amount of options compared to other shops in the area. There were limited quantities of each so I'm not sure if they have more things on the weekends, which would totally make sense for a local small business on a random Tuesday. Parking is easy once you find it and although the inside is very small there are a few chairs and cafe tables perfect for a duo. Nonetheless, we left with a good haul and got one of almost everything: Red velvet slice, Carrot cake slice, Chocolate Mousse slice, Chocolate brownie, and Lemon bar. They also had a sheet cake, a small pack of cupcakes and cake pops in a separate case, so I wasn't sure if those were preorders or display or available for purchase. Here's what I loved: THE BROWNIE. One of the best I've ever had! The lemon bar was also delicious, super tart and perfectly baked. I'd get either of those again! Customer service was very friendly, prices were clearly displayed and fair, and the portions were good sizes. Here's what I just liked: The cake part of the red velvet, mousse, and carrot cake was a bit dry. They were beautifully decorated, the frosting and fillings were great, but the cake itself just wasn't as soft and moist as I was hoping. Another Yelper mentioned sticking the cake in the microwave and I wish I would have tried that. Definitely a small business worth supporting!

This was my first visit the Dessert European Cakes and Pastries, also called Dessert European…read moreBakery. Upon entering, I was struck by three things, how friendly the worker was, how hard the door was to open (I do have mobility issues on occasion), and how little there was on display to choose from. Still, I found a couple of nice items (red velvet and some serious chocolate cake) my wife loved the chocolate but we found the red velvet to be quite dry and hard. I suspect that it had been in the case far too long. Fortunately the chocolate was so good, my wife said that it more than made up for it. Overall, the ambiance was simple bakery, nice folks, serving well. I suspect where these nice folks shine is in pre-orders (which makes TOTAL sense, as foot traffic, particularly in this bakery's location would be a tough sell indeed). I suspect that we will be keeping Dessert European Cakes and Pastries in mind for our upcoming bakery needs.

Haven't been in here in a while and I am slapping myself for not going more often. I took my sons…read morehere for brunch and it was amazing. We had the country fried steak which was probably the best one I have ever had in my entire life! My sons had chorizo and eggs and the other one had chocolate pancakes, ham and eggs. We also got a Nutella Crepe because my youngest had never had a real crepe before. The food was all amazing. We cleaned every plate between a 47 year old, 13 & 8 year old! We couldn't stop eating!! The place was clean and for such a busy brunch we were sat very quickly! Service was amazing as well! The staff was so accommodating, friendly and professional! They were so hard working turning those tables over and checking on tables all the time. We didn't have to wait for plates to be cleared or refills of Iced Tea!! Like I said I can't believe I haven't been back to this place in such a long time but that is going to change!! I will be back as much as I can! Especially to support a local family owned restaurant!

Tasty or WasteY???? Totally tasty !!!!…read moreI love everything about this place. I always get the Chilaquiles with green sauce. My husband gets different things on the menu when we go and he enjoys all of them. The only problem I have is it is so loud in there because it is such a small and confined restaurant. And I enjoy the live music being played. It's just such a tight confined little place. And you have to yell to talk to one another therefore everybody else here's your conversation. This is not a good place to go on a date or to get to know somebody over conversation. That's why you have Galletto's or Tresetti's down the street. But if you wanna go and have a quick breakfast, then this is the place. Though wait waitresses are always very, very nice. And the prices are great.
