Krak Boba

let's start off with the fact that this location is 2 mins from my house and the staff here is friendly and kind and I will be here more often because the service is fast didn't wait more than 4 mins thank you to all the staff

After having a light dinner at Pho Ha #7 in Riverside, I needed to find a boba shop to pick up some boba drinks for my daughters. My friend was with me and we both were searching for nearby boba places. The ones we found were all within 10 to 15 minutes from where we were at. It wasn't until my friend came to the rescue and located Krak Boba that was literally 2 mins driving distance away just on the other side of the block. Thanks my friend!So here we are at Krak Boba located in Town Square of Riverside. It's a cute and bright shop. Good amount of seating. There is one all gender restroom for use which is always nice to have especially at a drink place. You never know when you need to go after drinking a full cup of liquids. We barely made it as it was about 10 minutes before closing time.Good selections drinks available. I usually don't get too experimental with my boba drinks. My daughters and I have our go-tos. Brown sugar milk tea with crystal boba for my youngest. Peach jasmine green tea with lychee jelly for my eldest. I decided to try something different and went with one of their newest creation CocoThai Butterfly. Of course, we got our drinks with 100% sweetness and no ice (I don't like watery drinks, but sometimes a little ice is okay). My motto... make it the way you designed it. The drinks were filled up to the top even with no ice which I prefer. Thanks Krak Boba for not taking 2 inches off our drinks just because we asked for no ice. I know some boba places do that or they charge an extra $1.00 or so for no ice... really folks???My daughters liked their drinks very much. As for me, I didn't realize until I got home that my CocoThai Butterfly did not look anything like the photo. It didn't have the blue and white layers. All it had was the usual Thai orange color all throughout the drink. I'm going to have to inquire about that the next time I'm at Krak Boba. Nevertheless, my drink was still delightful. It tasted slightly different compared to the usual Thai drink, but a good different. I don't think I got the coco flavor though. I definitely need to get the CocoThai Butterfly again to experience it for real.Overall experience was a good quick one. Staff was pleasant. Drinks came out fairly quickly and was delivered to us at the table. Thanks for the great service! Of course, it was closing time so we had to go. I would come back here again should I be in the area in the future.

Parking: Decent amount available!Ambience: Fairly spacious with a good amount of seating available. Decorated with lots of neon signs / screens and plants.Service: Standard, no complaints!Taste: Got the strawberry matcha latte, which I expected to taste artificial given the bright colors, but it was actually good :) Fairly sweet but not too much, and the boba consistency and drink flavors were all great!

Best drink / coffee / boba spot in Riverside. Totally addicted and joined their rewards "the krak circle" lol. Great flavors, the app is easy to use, and my drink is always ready when I arrive. Coming here has become my weekly treat and I love it. I wish they had macros / calorie info, but otherwise they are perfect.

I came here hoping to get some popcorn chicken and a drink. To my surprise, they no longer sell food, so I was bummed about that. I started to not get anything, but I still ordered a drink. It was really good. I'm pretty sure I took in 50+ grams of sugar, with that drink. But I was satisfied, so it was fine!

loveeee krak boba always, guerilla thai is a must!! the workers are always so kind here and if you don't like your drink and if there's an issue they are very receptive! def my go to boba spot n don't forget to download the app for rewards

Krak Boba is a good chain that is expanding in many SOCAL cities. My previous experience was in Rancho Cucamonga, followed by one on 17th in Santa Ana. Both of those locations turned out excellent drinks with great attention to detail and made us fans of the brand. This particular store in Riverside is in an area that's a bit dicey, a dirty, often crime-ridden zone with lots of homelessness, so lock the doors. Inside the store, the appearance is not much different if you're acquainted with the brand. Similar decor, selfie areas, and illustrated menus. The staff were friendly and helpful, 5 stars for that. Unfortunately, the outcomes were shy of the mark for different reasons. Hers was supposed to be fizzy, but the lack of ice to cool down the ingredients simply wasn't there. Mine had a similar issue with the fruit being warm from the blender, perhaps? Either way, we were both a little disappointed. She'd order differently in the future, but I had selected something familiar, so hopefully, next time, it'll come out better? Anyhow, we're glad to have a store closer than 15+ miles away.

I was craving boba the morning after going to an event at the NOS center. I had high hopes seeing the reviews for this place.I have a huge sweet tooth, but the Kraken Signature Milk Tea was way too sweet and did not have enough tea flavor. I should probably should have gotten the lowest sweetness level - so blame myself for the sweetness. However, the lack of tea flavor is difficult to overcome. I probably won't be coming back.My partner got the taro, and we also agreed that it was too sweet without enough taro flavor.

Super disappointed bc i only received matcha and there was supposed to have caramel and cheese foam but i was still charged for everything ): it didnt taste like caramel at all too

The place was nice! The drinks took five minutes to get out but overall no complaints. The drinks were super good and flavorful and the staff was very nice. Will come here again 10/10! We got the caramel milk tea and brown sugar milk tea! The price was also great! $6.70 for each:)
