Boba Tea House

Was craving a Thai tea and this spot had the most reviews and 4 stars. But why? Waste of $7. Thai tea boba is mid. Watery Thai tea, tasteless. Cheap boba. Not a good boba after taste. I rate this a 2/10 because I have had worse. I would compare it to cheap Thai tea boba from a fast Chinese food joint (which I do enjoy when I get my fix) but I was not expecting this from a boba shop. Sad I wasted $7. No service. Order at kiosk. When the boba was ready the worker didn't even call out my number just left it in the counter. Ambiance is loud. I see this place as a study spot for those who can thrive in loud environment's.

Boba Tea House continues to be a staple in Riverside after all these years. Considering the area, there isn't any boba better than theirs. Being just minutes away from UCR, it is also the perfect spot for a club/fraternity fundraiser or a study break. My favorite drink is the Thai Tea. My favorite foods are the popcorn chicken and fries. They have a decent variety of food that comes in snacks/meals, and even a wider selection of drinks. It has plentiful parking, good service, kind management, and a clean environment. It's definitely a stop I make every time I'm in Riverside.

Stopped in after lunch for some boba. First time visiting experienced very friendly and helpful staff. The digital menu is on the wall so you can easily make your selections. Nice space, clean and organized. Great for whatever kind of day you may be having. A place to study, gather with friends or catch up on Yelp reviews lol. Tables against the side wall to stay a while and enjoy your drinks. Though there's some better choices out there this was a decent spot. Loved the little boba pillows so cute. This shopping center has random businesses. The outside parking area looks a little weathered but there's some good finds here.

We made a quick boba stop on the way back to the Valley on a Saturday around 2pm! First, parking was easy - there's a huge lot!Second, service was friendly, patient, and quick. It was pretty much just us and one other party, but nonetheless, we appreciated it.Next is the food/drink!Lavender milk tea with pudding and less sweetness: the lavender flavor is pretty subtle (enough so that my partner didn't mind it, despite not usually liking these kinds of flavor profiles), and the sweetness was at just the right level for me. The milk tea flavor landed first, followed by a slight kick of lavender. It worked for me! I didn't love the texture of the egg pudding, though - while most bites were soft and smooth, some had a layer/film with a different texture.Taro coconut milk tea with boba and less sweetness: my partner said it was good - refreshing. The boba was solid! I'd say that the coconut flavor is pretty present, but my partner thought it was subtle. Popcorn chicken at medium spicy: my partner thought it was good, but we both agreed that we would have liked it to be crispier. The spiciness level was accurate, but because the spice wasn't evenly distributed, the chicken at the top of the bag seemed more spicy than the chicken at the bottom. I would have liked the chicken to be a bit more flavorful, but my partner was happy with it. We didn't really like the sauce that came with this, though.Overall, this seemed like a standard boba spot with some cute items for purchase. We wouldn't go out of our way to visit, but it wasn't a bad way to satisfy our boba craving.

Cute little boba place near UCR campus. I had the Taro slushy with added crystal boba, fam had strawberry smoothie, pineapple smoothie and mango smoothie, and we split an order of churros. All were very good. Service was quick.

Always so yummy. The mango peach slush with rainbow jelly is my go-to. I love their appetizers as well.

Came here based on my coworkers recommendation as we work across the street and it doesn't disappoint. They have a kiosk for easy ordering and so far I've tried: mango smoothie with boba, passion fruit tea with lychee jelly and their popcorn chicken is really good as well. I'll have to slowly try exploring other items on the menu, but so far so good! Prices are reasonable and it's a cute little boba spot with minimal decor. It's always been clean every time I've gone there, the only thing I could complain about is parking but it's not a huge deal.

Been coming here for years and they've been pretty good before. After the pandemic it's been downhill. Service is horrible, boba is hard, and the worker who takes the order is super rude about not using the kiosk to order. Was gonna order for 6 people, but ended up just doing one drink. I'll probably try again at some point, but have been losing confidence for a couple years now.

Pretty good boba and drinks for the area. Relatively close to UCR. Ordered the tiger tea and brown sugar milk tea with boba and pudding. They are strict with masks. You have to wear one inside. I didn't wear one upon entering, but they were kind enough to give me one.

I would honestly give this place 1 star but I gave an extra one for the service.Food: I've been here before and their drinks are just okay. This time I tried their popcorn chicken snack and was disappointed. It's about $8 for a TINY portion, we waited over 15 minutes for 1 order when there was no one there except us, and there was tofu mixed with the chicken. They also gave it to us in a to-go bag when we were dining in. The worst part is that I asked for mild spice and there was still so much seasoning on the popcorn chicken, it was wayyy too hot for me to eat to the point that my eyes were tearing up. The seasoning was unevenly distributed too. I definitely will not be back here.Service: friendly employees! A lot of them are UCR students and new so it's a little slow but they're helpful and provide good customer service.Plenty of parking in the attached parking lot. Wifi available. Seating inside is booth style. No public restrooms. No trashcan inside, you have to take it all outside the store.
