Twisteas - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Twistea is a classic tea shop. I first got drawn in by their drinks with fresh sugar cane juice. But the teas are also very tasty. Prices are fair compared to similar shops. The drinks have really cute names like "Nice to Match-ya". I like that they put some thought into it. I recently tried their Old Fashioned Ice Tea. The person who helped me did a great job customizing it to my liking so it was not too sweet and had milk to the point where you can still taste the tea. It came with pudding and since they no longer had sago tapioca, he added some boba in. I love the ice they use, shaved texture that is very flaky. It complemented the tea very well. This place is a staple since it is always reliable. read more

This is right next to pho ga which is what I really came for. It's like a grab and go type of spot. Parking right outside. Ordered a col-can(e)no which is a sugar cane drink and inside there were these hard coconuts bits like super hard and some black stuff probably herbal things or grass jelly? Not sure since I kept drinking and spitting out the additives. Def didn't like any of the bits and pieces in there. The sugar cane drink would've been good just by itself. This place is called twisTEAS so I prob should've ordered a tea but oh wells. read more

My sister-in-law helped me order Twisteas on Thursday 6/6/2024 for a fundraiser and boy was I so happy to try them out! We got the following drinks both with full sugar: Mango Tango: - Mango black with basil seeds, lychee bits and mango jelly - SoOoO good. The drink was so refreshing and thirst-quenching on a scorching day. I got this full sweet but the ice had melted by the time I got the drink and so the sweetness was perfect. I enjoyed eating the bits of basil seeds, lychee, and mango jelly - reminds me of tastea, but less over-poweringly sweet. So delicious, I highly recommend. Arctic Lychee: - Lychee and passion fruit green tea slush with lychee bits - My husband's drink. I enjoyed the blend of lychee and passion fruit flavors, which complimented each other well. I liked how the slush was a green tea base so you still got some sort of minor caffeine kick. This drink was also a nice pick-me-up on a hot day! I'll definitely be back to try out more drinks! read more

This is a cute little place that I stopped by whenever my mom gets her hair perm. The fries are so delish here. My daughter and I loved the seasoned fries. We usually get bbq and sour cream & chives. It's perfectly cooked fries and well seasoned. This time I also ordered Cane Solo and Milky Way. Cane Solo was too sweet and tastes a little artificial. My mom said the boba in the Milky Way was too hard. I guess I just stick to the seasoned fries. read more

This is a local tea shop near my house. If I'm craving some tea and doing want to go far, I enjoy this tea shop. I like the various fruit teas offered. My go to is the mango tango for fruit tea and jasmine green tea for a milk tea. The rose green tea is very unique and also very good. The shop is small but clean and service is quick. They close pretty early compared to other tea shops so make sure you check the time before you go. read more

Came here from the reviews and found that Twisteas has a diverse menu. There are fruit teas, milk teas, and even a section for sugar cane juice. It seemed like different versions of the sugar cane concoctions were out but the one we ordered tasted pretty good. Milk tea and fruit tea flavor-wise, you can tell the flavoring is artificial. They have super catchy names though and pretty fast service. They have free parking in the plaza but it can get crowded. Drinks are pretty standard. read more

Jayden gave us the best experience we could have at a drink shop. He was super helpful with what to order and he even gave us personal recommendations. The food was amazing. Jayden is a goat worker and my friends and i really appreciated his dedication to teas read more

I had the pleasure to be greeted by Jayden and he recommended the Thai tea. It was delicious, def will be back!

I used to come here solely for their potato twist sticks because it is a snack you can't find anywhere else. Their drink menu is big and very unique (drink styles that you will most certainly not find anywhere else). I will say their drinks are pretty expensive but it is unique and they include a variety of toppings and flavors per drink. It seemed that there was only one person working the entire place so it took a while to get our drink. In addition, my mom ordered the cane-gerine with no crystal boba and it says it on the sticker too, but the barista ended up putting it in either the way. We weren't too upset about it seeing how it was just him working alone. The place is kind of tiny so there isn't much seating. I would come back for their unique drink menu but definitely for their snacks, just disappointed it's so expensive! read more

The staff member was clearly unwell with sniffles and constant need to clear his throat. There was no handwashing or masking by this one staff member and he proceeded to touch everything with his ungloved hands. He touched his face constantly to clear his nose. I was sickened just watching him make our drinks. Sorry dude if you are sick either do precautions to protect your clients or just call in. I'm thoroughly disgusted. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the tea menu at Twisteas. It's a small boba shop with an extensive menu that includes boba, sugar cane juice, and milk tea. I ordered the sugar cane drink hoping that it the same as a sugar cane juice I would get at Vietnamese vendors. However, I was pretty disappointed with the flavors. It's bland and not as sweet. I'm not sure if the drink was diluted down. The milk tea was flavorful, not too overwhelmingly sweet. read more

Ordered plain ol' milk tea, and it's consistent with it's namesake. Give a little bit time to your tea, don't drink it immediately because the boba is warm. If you hit it straight from the bottom, it's taste like chinese warm dessert. Wait, maybe that's the concept? Keeping it with the namesake? read more

Twisteas - A1. Plain 0l Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Still my favorite boba place in the SGV. Can't beat their taste, value, and service. They also do many fundraisers with local schools, so it's obvious they care about the community too. Love small businesses like this, you really see their heart and soul. Also, their decorations are adorable and seasonal. Only con is they're a small place, and if it's during peak hours (after school) forget about finding seating. But if you go during off peak hours with 3 people or less, you're fine. It's not far from me, but it's also not really in an area I go often. If it was, I'd visit more frequently. Definitely go support them, they're great. read more

Do not order the popcorn chicken!!!!! it will leave you unsatisfied and disappointed for paying for fried little itty bitty pieces that consists of about 5 pieces and the rest is like fried dough. We should have really listened to that one review on here. Embarrassing to even serve it. We ordered to go and did realize until we got back to the office and realized we got scammed. Drink was whatever. Got coconut, sugar cane and grass jelly. Lacked flavor. read more

My family LOVES this place. We have been going back time and time again because the drinks have not been disappointing. My favorite is the jasmine milk tea and the rose milk tea! My sister orders for me and we do either 25% or 50% sweet and it's so perfect because you can really taste the tea flavor! We made the mistake of not adjusting the sweetness level one time and it was just way too sweet for us. We also order my dad the fruity drinks like last time we ordered a kiwi flavor one and he loved it as well! All the drinks here so far are VERY good and I would go to as far to say this is my one of my top favorite boba places near my house! I would highly recommend to my friends and would time and time come back again. read more

Thank god we saw their sign on the back of the building while we were heading down the road cuz we were actually on our way to a different boba place. Glad we stopped here! Gotta say to start it off, the dude that worked the counter was super friendly, energetic, and helpful with our orders. My friend got their sugar cane drink and I took a sip of it. Nice, natural sweetness and it went perfectly well with the lychee flavor and bits inside. I got the: 1) Tropical Extravaganza: -Super, super refreshing. -You taste both the peach and pineapple tea (pineapple was slightly stronger in my opinion, but I liked it !). -The longan and jackfruit bits are tasty toppings that other boba places don't really offer. Went great with the smooth, sweetness of the grass jelly. -I know, bad, but they used really crushed, soft ice and it absorbed the flavor of the tea and I loved munching on it... -Drink really made me want to go to a beach to be quite honest. 2) Large Twisted Fries (Spicy BBQ flavor): -Hands down better than Potato Corner LOL. -The size of their large had way more fries than Potato Corner's Mega size. -They also actually push down the paper into the cup, giving you a massive amount of fries (that also spilled out into the bag). -Definitely worth it. -The spicy BBQ wasn't spicy at all, but was still a pleasant treat to have. GET THE STAMP CARD FOR THIS PLACE. I'm already pre-planning what I'm gonna have here the next time I go because they have so many unique drinks and toppings and it's all so so good. I don't usually get fruit flavored drinks at boba places, opting more for milk tea options since not many other places offer much uniqueness in terms of what they offer, but not Twisteas. They got so, so many different drinks to try. Sucks that they don't have those tornado potatoes any more because the ghost pepper flavor sounded really pog, but I'd still cop the fries here. Yummy snack that's worth it ! Can't wait until the next time I come back ! read more

There was one young man behind the counter and luckily the peeps before us were his friends. So they let us order first. My friend said this place is good for her family so I went to pickup something refreshing for da family. I got the large paradise which is a mixture of fruit flavors and finely chopped fruit bits. I for four of those and a matcha with pudding and a regular milk tea. They also have French fries so I picked up their bbq flavor which turned out okay. After I placed my order another two families came in to wait patiently for my order to get through. The place has some seats for waiting but it's not really a hangout spot. The strip mall is dead so plenty of parking. Probably best to place a phone order since they are understaffed. read more

Twisteas - Menu Jan 2021 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

After grabbing lunch next door, my wife and I naturally found ourselves peeking into Twisteas to indulge just a bit more. Can't forget the bev. Normally I don't really do sugary bevs. I'd rather consume my calories with food rather than drinks, but today I felt like treating myself a little. I ordered a Wild Strawjito and my wife got their milky (milky way?) boba. Both were great! If you enjoy fruity, refreshing drinks then consider the Strawjito. Bits of pineapple, strawberry at the bottom, with a very refreshing juice/tea mixture. As a leaf-juice fan, I really enjoyed being able to taste the tea. A lot of places like to pump so much sugar into beverages like this where it becomes too sweet, but not here. The milky way boba was good too! If you like brown sugar, this is the drink to get. I thought it was perfectly sweet and the boba was good too, and that's coming from someone who doesn't really care for boba. The drinks were a perfect way to end our lunch. They also offer sugar cane juice which is pretty neat because I don't really see that often, especially in a boba shop! read more

Great service and food! I've been coming here for the last 3 years. I'm very basic and always get the same drink every time. N'ice to Matcha. The food is a plus also, not many boba places these days sell food. Always love coming back. One thing is try to avoid going around 6-7 PM mainly due to the schools near by and in the same plaza there is an after school program that the kids like to block the doors. It's gets crowded fast. read more

I found this place a few years ago when I was scouting new boba places. There's so much competition now, and this place is an underdog because I do like their drinks. They're located in a really dead strip mall and that's probably why they don't get enough attention. The parking lot is usually always empty. When you walk in, you'll see that it's a small place, so not somewhere you'd sit down and catch up with friends. I've had a couple of their drinks, but I always come back for their Milky Way Taro! It's one of my favorite drinks and it's preventing me from trying anything else. It's made with real taro as they say and the sago really adds some nice texture (for me, it texture feels frozen initially but once you bite into them it's soft). I haven't had a concoction like this anywhere else. Lastly, don't forget their stamp card! They don't usually give one until you've asked for it. Overall, I like the place because of their drinks. It's not situated in the best plaza but because of that, it's easy to get in and out. If I lived closer, I'd be visiting here more often. read more

I was never really a big fan of Twisteas because, I've always found their drinks to be very sweet despite requesting a lower sugar percentage. After like a 4-5 year hiatus, I've decided to come back and try it out again. That time, I got Cane Solo which is Sugar Cane juice. It tasted pretty good. However, today I went and ordered the same thing and the sugar cane juice came out very brown. I've noticed the worker bringing out a bucket of sugar canes and it looked pretty old, lacking in color but, I was giving the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure he knew it was very old but, yet still made the juice for me. I've took a couple sips and basically threw the drink away. ($7 worth!) It tasted stale and the sugar wasn't even potent. (Mad at myself for not taking a photo of my drink) Verdict: Don't even come here. I'm definitely not coming back here after giving them the benefit of the doubt. This place has been run down due to the pandemic so the quality has spiraled downward. It was only one worker in the morning/afternoon so the wait times, quality, customer service all gone bad. Can't believe the worker was willing to serve a customer spoiled sugar cane juice. read more

Twistea is very much like tastea, and they even told me they are like tastea except they use real fruit! So bonus points for being fresh. The plaza isn't very popular and the times I've been here I haven't seen a lot of people. The good drinks are definitely the fruit ones - the passion fruit green tea is a good item to get. There are real bits of fruit in the teas. read more

Been bookmarking this place for the longest time. Finally got to try it. The drink I ordered was pretty good- Tropical Extravaganza. I also ordered a twisted potato, herb and cheese flavor. Not bad. I always see a long line during those Asian festivals or night market for twisted potato so I never got a chance to try it. I'm glad I was able to try it at this place and best thing is that... No line! Lol. I believe their price is cheaper here compare to those night market too. Don't forget to get your stamp card~$4 a stamp. read more

I feel kinda bad with this rating. I'd say it's in-between a 2-3 but just didn't have a great experience here overall. The customer service was fine and the people were friendly so that's why 2-3.. but as far as the other factors I was unimpressed. I got the macchiato milk tea and it tasted kind of bland. I didn't love the boba. I guess I've been going to too many places that make their boba in house fresh. The tea didn't have much flavor. Usually I always get 1/4 sugar.. so the sweetness had nothing to do with it. Also that day I think they forgot to turn on and roast their black teas or something so a few drink options were not available. I think that if I had gotten the twisty potato snack and maybe a fruit drink I would have appreciated Twisteas more, but that day I wasn't particularly in the mood for potatoes and a fruity drink. Also this place is not like a cozy cafe type spot where you can chill, drink tea, and chat with a friend.. so really all I can base my review off of is on taste and service. Overall service was fine.. they were nice, but taste for the drink I ordered just wasn't there this time. read more

Amazing discovery! We were immediately greeted with a level of enthusiasm that is hard to find in this day and age, and I love the honesty and confidence they had when I asked for their recommendation (you wouldn't believe the amount of "everything is good" replies I receive at other places), and I'm glad I listened because I really enjoyed the drink I got! So usually I would automatically drift towards the milk tea section, but when I saw that they had an entire menu dedicated to sugar cane drinks, I immediately got one of those since I love sugar cane! After the first sip I felt like I entered a universe where covid disappeared and I was transported to a tropical wonderland because of how sweet and fruity this delicious drink was. Truly a tasty and marvelous way to end the night. read more

I always pass by this place and on to way to work or go home. Also my co-worker loves this place. The menu is easy to read. I ordered everything peachy and large sour cream chives French fries during lunch in September. My drink was easy to make so I had to wait in the fries. The fries are cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. My drink had diced up fruit with ice and it taste good. The ace is in the shopping center with the pho place. Parking is small. I would come back again. FYI, order ghost pepper fries and get a card to keep track of drinks. read more

PARKING Located inside the small plaza on the corner of Hellman and New. They have a parking lot shared with other businesses and it doesn't get too busy even during the day. INTERIOR/ EXTERIOR Small little tea shop. I would still consider it pretty new. It's nice and clean inside. Multiple TVs with their menu items neatly categorized. No tables, it's a grab and go place though they have a bench for you as you wait. MENU I've only been here twice but each time their teas don't disappoint. They really remind me of Tasteas given their fruit teas have preset toppings inside (mango bits, aloe vera, chia seeds) along with the creative names. Gotten the Everything Peachy during the most recent visits and it was very refreshing. A little on the sweeter side but very enjoyable. Before, they had their stacked potato twists. Not if that's still available but I would assume so! SERVICE Can't ask for much. Girl that took our order was very nice. She offered us a stamp card and handed us our drinks when they were done! read more

This is probably going to one of my new favorite tea places to go to! Twisteas is a pretty new tea store in 626 located near New Ave and Hellman that sells specialized fresh fruity teas and potato swirls! It's a small store but a great place to get tea to-go! It was my first time here but I knew that I wanted the Passionate-TEA which is a passion fruit and pineapple black tea with longan bits and pineapple bits and it was SO REFRESHING. The fruit pieces in the drink tasted real and super fresh and it complemented the drink so well. Even though I don't normally like my drinks 100% sweetness, this drink was pretty damn close to perfect. My sister got the Mango Tango which was mango black tea with basil seeds, lychee bits and mango jelly with 100% sweetness and it was really good too! Definitely would want to go with less sugar with this because it was definitely on the sweeter side. I definitely want to try all of their fruity specialty drinks because they all look so good. It's probably going to be even more refreshing with less sugar in their drinks AND don't forget, they have a Yelp check in for 10% off! The store is located in a small plaza with plenty of parking and they give you a stamp card as well. read more

Twisteas is my wife and I's go to tea/drink place when we want something refreshing and delicious. It's definitely a hidden gem in the middle of Monterey Park and in our opinion is better than all the other boba/drink places in SGV. We've been here numerous of times since they opened and their drinks always hit the spot (so we are super happy that they reopened after their COVID hiatus). 5 star tasty/creative drinks, excellent/welcoming customer service, and super easy parking. My personal fave is the Orange Tiki (50% sweet) and my wife's is their Jasmine Green Tea, but all their drinks are great! read more

The drink was freshly prepared and I admire the cute names of food items and spice levels. Next time I'm in the area, I'll try their other flavors. Be mindful of the parking lot, although it was raining, lots of cars coming in and out of the plaza. read more

My sister wanted to come here because she likes looking up boba places. I was surprised I never heard of this place. It is in a little plaza on the corner of New Ave and Hellman near some pho place. I would've never noticed it because it looks pretty unassuming when you drive by. There is a small parking lot but at peak times, I think it may be hard to find spaces. The shop was empty when we walked in. I ordered the Mango Tango, but there were a lot of other flavors I wanted to try. Mango Tango comes mango black tea, basil seeds, lychee, and mango jelly. Mango jelly basically tastes like lychee jelly, so I wouldn't recommend making a decision based on that. The drink costs 3.95, which is really cheap especially for all the toppings you get. The drink itself was pretty sweet. I forgot to ask to customize the sweetness. My sister's drink, the passion fruit one, was more tart and not sweet, so I think it's based on your fruit tea flavor. I didn't get much lychee bits in my drink; everytime I got a piece, I forgot I even had it in there in the first place because of how infrequent I got it. I like this place. It offers cheap but good drinks. Some places compromise taste and quality with cheap prices, but this place manages to combine both. There are a lot of other flavors I want to try out the next time I come back. Also, don't forget to check in for 10 percent off! read more
