  One of our favorites, been regulars for years!! Highly suggest the veggie crepes popcorn chicken, calamari or grilled chicken salad if you're looking for something healthier. Their boba is always made perfectly! And the owners are the sweetest!

  I love their coconut waffles Soso much, I love their pop chicken and they have a long list of delicious foot items.
  BUT
  the drinks are not my favorite
  
  Please, make your mango smoothie more tasty, it tastes like dishwasher water
  
  Taro milk tea with boba is very good, not the smoothies or slushies

  This is seriously the most nastiest stuff ever! I cannot believe I just waisted 9.00 on this!!! From the honey dew milk tea to the disgusting fried chicken gross. I should have just waited till 11am for T4 to open up

  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.

  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?
