Background and Expansion Plans
Owners Sam Duong and Kristy Le, who have been friends and boba enthusiasts for over 20 years, decided to bring the Twinkle Boba experience to San Diego after frequenting the LA locations in Pasadena, Cerritos, and Alhambra. Their shared love for boba led them to offer a welcoming space in Kearny Mesa where friends can gather and enjoy quality drinks.
Community Engagement
Twinkle Boba is also engaging with the local community by offering discounts to members of Cars N Anime, a San Diego-based collective dedicated to motorsports and anime. This initiative not only draws in anime enthusiasts but also strengthens community bonds.
