    Brown Sugar Milk Tea with pudding
    Joyce G.

    Love the brown sugar milk tea with pudding. Service was great and fast. Limited parking but street parking is available. Place is clean and great to hang with friends.

    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.

    My son introduced me to this spot. Everything was really good. The food was hot and fresh. The staff was friendly, greeted us upon entry. Small dining area but it appeared to be more of a take out establishment. Lots of people picking up online orders. We'll definitely be back.

    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.

    Hong Kong style Milk Tea and Twinkle Fruit Tea

    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.

    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!!

    Twinkle Fruit Tea

    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.

    This place is the one stop shop. They have so many different drinks and they also have snacks!! there's not really any seating for you to hang out I will tell you when I come here just for their blending tea/ lm slush.. I've never had anything like this anywhere else and it is so good here.

    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.

    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.

To order: Can order online, in store with the cashier or there are two kiosks available. Service has always been fine. Never an issue. SIGNATURE DRINKS: Original Thai Tea 4.5/5 70% sweet is sweet enough. 30% for less sweet. Thai Green Milk Tea 4.25/5 Not bad. Thai Red Plum 4.25/5 Kinda like it even though it's acquired taste. Definitely not the kind of drink I would have everyday, but good to have once in a long while. Thai Lemon Tea 2.5-3/5 Trying really hard to like it, but it's very so-so for me. Not my cup of tea. The Butterfly Collection: Honey Lemon Butterly Tea w/ Basil Seed 4.25/5 30% sugar. Like that it's slightly tart. Flavor/taste is good. Butterfly Pea Milk Tea w/ Basil Seed 4.25/5 30% sugar. Tastes sweeter than 30% sugar. Could taste the condensed milk. OTHER DRINKS: Yuzu Rose Tea 4.5/5 Bf likes this drink. I have couple sips and thought it was good (would order again). Thai Green Tea Latte 4.25/5 Their Thai Green Tea is pretty good. Probably won't be getting the latte version in the future cuz it comes with Pandan Boba and I'm kinda alright/so-so with it. Lychee Green Tea 4/5 Not bad. Decent.

A few of the male staff members have been respectful, but every time I walk in, the atmosphere feels awkward--more like a group of young friends hanging out than employees focused on customer service. My main concern is from my visit on July 10 at 9:42 PM (Order #294). According to my receipt, the employee helping me was Jenny C. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted. I spent a minute looking at the menu while Jenny C stood there texting and eating French fries. When I was ready to order, she told me to use the kiosk. I asked, "I can't order with you?" She reluctantly took my order, but continued eating while I was speaking. I ordered two drinks, read everything slowly, and still had to repeat myself. After taking my order, she simply walked away, and I had to grab my own receipt. While waiting, I overheard another employee tell Jenny C to go make my drinks. When she finally did, one of the cups had osmanthus rice mochi smeared on the outside, which should have been cleaned before being handed to a customer. Management should review this transaction using the date, time, and order number above. This wasn't professional and reflected someone who clearly didn't want to be there. Whether it's a training or management issue, something needs to improve. I was actually planning to meet a friend here next week, but after this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because while the tea is pretty good, customer service is what keeps people coming back.

The sweetness and ice levels are customizable, which are always nice to have. Considering this is a boba shop chain, the quality of drinks here is solid. From my experience, service here is really fast, regardless of what time I am visiting. When my partner and I each order a drink, it feels as if our drinks are ready within the next minute. Since this shop is located in a very busy plaza, parking can be difficult to find during peak hours.
