I’ve gone a couple times to this location to it closed, I don’t use google / Google maps… so I never knew it stated closed. Apple Maps states your location is open. Maybe make a post on your guys social media about this location being closed and a sign in the window. I’m disappointed because this was one of my favorite local boba spots

I love this place! My favorite milk tea place but it's a city over so I only go when in the area. But I had went in the middle of the day on both Friday and Saturday for them to be closed without a sign posted as to why.

Boba Fiend, where are you!? You've been closed now for about 2 weeks with a sign saying it's a hot water problem!! Come on! The food place next door is open! Have you closed for good?? This has been my favorite place since I found it!

I have been working in Corona for the past couple months. On my way home, I wanted to see how close Boba Fiend was, as I live in Lake Forest and usually frequent the Yorba Linda location after the Santa Ana location closed. To my suprise, I found this location just 3 miles down from my temporary workplace. I did not know they even had one this far out! Here is what I usually order:Tiger Milk Tea with Boba: This has been my favorite drink by far! This is one of their top drinks, and there are so many reasons why. It is a perfect balance of thai tea and milk tea. It is not too sweet and is always consistent. Mango Slush with Boba: This is always refreshing! Im sure it is just a bunch of syrup blended up with ice, but it is consistent each time. Overall, I make the drive to Boba Fiend because of their consistency. I have found that other boba shops either have too milky of milk tea or their boba is not soft and chewy. I know that each time I come here, the quality is always the same. They are quick at making your drinks and are nearly done by the time you are ordering. As a person who works in the food industry, I can definitely appreciate this. Please open one up closer to south OC!

This place is ass and the staff sucks. They had some guy doing work in the middle of the shop super inconvenient and the smoothie was watered down. I'd just go to lees

It's official. I'm a fiend. What's it called when you want HALF your cup filled with boba??? ?

The small cups look like tiny trash bins. Unfortunately, that's also what the beverages inside tasted like. Everything tasted ultra watered down and despite their 'customer satisfaction' poster, every drink (a mix of smoothies, teas, and slushes) all tasted watered down and flavorless. My full beverage ended up in their conveniently-located trash bin.The one positive is that the drinks were generously sized. Unfortunately generous sizing of a disappointing beverage isn't a good combination.I'd definitely recommend going a few doors down to 85º to get a boba tea there.

So I want the owner to know, if they care, that employees tasked with opening the store do not open it strictly when the hours state they are open, despite it opening pretty late.It says to people that you do not care, or, you are unprepared.I personally have gone to competing tea shops because the hours of operation start very late for ANY business. The owner needs to know from 9am onward people are trying your business and going somewhere else because you open too late.so just to put that in perspective if that's 1-3 customers a day at $8 that you are missing..its thousands of dollars of revenue at the end of the year you don't have just because of when you open.open earlier. make more money.

I've been to a handful of Boba places, and I have to say that I haven't found one that tastes completely different than other Bob spots. I usually get the Taro smoothie with Boba everywhere I go. This review is based on the area of the shop and the inside. This place is more of a get it and go type of deal. You don't really want to hang out here. The inside is blah and needs to be updated. I feel like with Boba spots, you have to stand out from the rest based on the ambiance and customer service. If you don't have that, customers just go to you because you're conveniently close to where they were or needed to be. Time for some store updates!
I went today 4/23/23 and ordered 6 drinks for me and my family and spent almost $40 here. I’m really upset with the quality, I’ve been here before and it was fine, but this time all the drinks literally taste like like just plain water or bitter black tea with boba. All the drinks are so tasteless and watered down, I would never come here again. I feel scammed for spending over $5 a drink. If it wasn’t a far drive I would take these drinks back to them.

The bomb!! Was only in town for a few days but I visited boba fiend 3 times!! Huge portions, good flavor variety! Get the trifecta!!

Favorite Boba place hands down. I live in Moreno valley yet always make sure to stop by when I'm in town. Good prices, great selection, friendly staff, and fast service. Today there was only one lady so it took slightly longer than usual but normally they make my boba drink in less than a minute!

There aren't many good boba spots in Corona compared to where I'm from in OC so we were hesitant to try Boba Fiend while we were here. However I'm so glad we did because it was actually pretty good! Husband and I got the oolong milk tea, half sweet and shared. I can't imagine it being full sweet because the half sweet was already a lot for us. I'd come back to try more if we ever wanted boba when in the area. Service was friendly and I had to use the restroom while waiting so that was nice that they had one there for customer usage.
