Boba Cafe

One of the best boba places in Riverside!It's a little hidden shop, often overlooked by popular boba places surrounding it but I must say, that they provide the best quality bobas at such a great price. Their flavors, consistency and serving sizes are unbeatable. They have a range of slushee flavors that would be such a great challenge to complete as well!Overall, I recommend this 100%! I am looking forward to visiting the shop again to try some of their food items.

This place is small, but delicious it's open late due to proximity to Riverside University & surrounding shops, and restaurants. I try to get something different every time, but I have a go to dish that has bok choi.Service is fast, but good luck finding a seat most people order take out, and the parking can be full during peak hours as there is also a moving theater in the same area. If you happen to be in or around Riverside stop in & try this small well known gem.

Usually like going here, but twice now they take 30 minutes or more to make a drink. They either disregard you waiting or just talk in the corner.

I'm very familiar with this place as I use to frequent this place often during my college days, I figured it's time to leave a review after all these years and seeing I am revisiting this place while I'm in town.This is a perfect go to place if you want cheap Asian eats and bubble tea and very hang out friendly. Their menu includes noodles, rice dishes and snacks that are pretty reasonably priced.They even had a honey dew slush snow that's non-diary which is hard to find and it tastes pretty amazing.The girl providing service was very sweet and polite despite it being almost closing time and the guy making the bubble tea made it quick and efficient.They are open till 11 pm which I was glad for seeing that there were limited options to go to when every place was closed. Perfect for college pulling an all-nighter or for those looking for a late night snack or to just hang out.

I love the food options and snacks they have here. I am a big fan of their popcorn chicken and beef udon! I love that they have a deal where you can make it a meal and get a drink for $1.50. I don't really like their milk teas but their fruit teas are so yummy and their boba is pretty soft and warm. The pricing is reasonable for the yumminess of the food. However, they don't give big portions. The ranch I got tasted sour and expired (most likely old or not refrigerated). Something that kind of throws me off is their service. The workers are pretty rude. It is in the UV and right by UCR so it can get pretty crowded later at night on the weekdays. Lots of seating but can get filled quickly with all the college students. I would definitely recommend getting the food more so than the drinks!

My favorite go to place to eat in Riverside. Even after college, whenever I pass by I WILL go to boba cafe. -chicken fried rice, -chicken rice cake is my go to

Used to go there a lot since I was in college 10 years ago. Always got the same dish pork bean curd on rice. We still always drop by once a while to get it couple times a year after we left the area. The great taste never changed.

I'm disappointed in Boba Cafe for the first time. I come here often but tonight unfortunately, I ordered to go and the Kung Pao chicken was raw inside. I was eating it at home and while chewing, a piece was extra chewy so I spit it out & saw the pink inside. I had already ate a few pieces and if it wasn't for that extra chewy piece, I wouldn't have noticed since the outside looked cooked. I called for a refund but it was after hours sadly.

Boba cafe. Aka my life source all throughout my days at Ucr. I was back in town after 3 years and of course I had to stop at boba cafe for my fix.If you haven't been here in a while they really slimmed down the menu since Covid - that means no more popcorn chicken chow mein. Genesis took our order and she was so kind and sweet. She deserves an A+ for service!!!!! She def made my night. Come for quick, hot, cheap, yummy food for a late night fix!

The Thai tea was good & the boba was a bit hard but had a great after taste! The shop was ideal for quick to-go orders, I received my drink almost immediately. However, I wouldn't enjoy sitting in to eat because the ambience wasn't the most inviting.
