21 Best Bubble Tea in Riverside

“First time here. This place is so tasty. The strawberry matcha latte was truly delicious, maybe the best I've had. I got it with the brulee custard, boba, and grass jelly ($8.25 for a large with all the extras). Amazing. The popcorn chicken was well seasoned with a good batter ($8.50). Cute place. Great service. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in the area.“

“Great place to relax and have a tea. Has a college vibe. U can add sugar but the fruit is already sweet so it has enough. And u can see them make it right in front of you. The price is reasonable and the drinks are delicious. You could probably choose anything on the menu and it would be good .and the young man behind the counter is very kind and professional.“

“LOVED IT !!!!!

“Best drinks.. yum 😋 strongly recommend“

“Went in thinking I would get the same old thing I always get, but I decided to ask the 2 guys working for suggestions and let them surprise me. They asked a few questions about what I like and made me the perfect drink. Sunrise with peach chewy boba and 50% sweet. It was perfect!“

“A [would come again / 還會再來]

· this is my go to spot for popcorn chicken in Riverside (its the only item i order here)

· chicken tasted crispy + juicy (average portion for 7$ USD as of October 2025)

· can ask for hot sauce

· its fairly empty + old inside (often playing rave music)

tldr: they have very yummy popcorn chicken thats very consistent in taste“

“Been here a few times with friends they've always been pretty friendly and fast with orders. We always recommend getting the fruit teas and also upgrading to large is a very good investment. I like getting the Unkown or Passion Attraction, they do run a little bit sweet though but otherwise very good tea especially for the area. I usually got to the rowland one though“

“The most reliable place to go if you want your boba cooked right. Not overcooked, not mushy. They have their recipe and cooking times down! (I used to work at a boba shop)

The atmosphere is beautiful for photos and for getting outta your head for a while. Also great for studying!“

“The drinks were very good healthy choice“

“Phenomenal taiyaki place that absolutely needs to be a chain across all of SoCal for easier access because omg it was so good! Some of the best red bean paste taiyaki I've ever had and delicious matcha ice cream! You can get so many different fillings for your taiyaki and ice cream. And their boba was 😋

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of handicap spaces and ramps to get up and down multilevel areas. Restaurant has plenty of space to navigate in a chair“

“My friend took me here. I had great experiences. Because boba was taste like you were in Taiwan. It is very hard to find tea like this. Also Brian was very fast make boba and very friendly. We are definitely coming back again. Thank you Brian!“

“great place to eat an price“

“Pretty surprised by this spot! It’s a kiosk—though a really beautiful and eye-catching one. The stand looks great, but the menu is oddly placed right next to the cashier, so it's easy to miss. I had to walk over to see it, and the cashier just stared at me the whole time—not rude, but not exactly friendly either.

That said, I think this might be one of the more affordable boba places around. I got a jumbo drink with cheese foam and boba pearls for under $10. The foam was creamy but didn’t have much of a cheese flavor. The pearls were good, and the flavors overall were on point. The cup, though, was hilariously wide—kind of awkward to hold with one hand.

I probably wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but if you’re already at the mall, it’s definitely a solid boba option.“

“Very delicious milk tea! I really love it ❤️“

“Delicious and the service is superior!“

“First time here and I have to say, I will definitely be back. I didn’t recognize anything on the menu so I was skeptical but it was so delicious & their prices aren’t bad at all, either.
I should also mention that the young lady that helped us provided great customer service as well. She was so nice and even helped us with recommendations on what we should order since we were new to this cuisine.“

“i got the coconut shrimp and pepper chicken and its hella good... the chow mein has alot of cabbage, its also good... all around its a good place“

“The people at this establishment did phenomenal. They were very accommodating, and made sure to welcome each of the customers. Not only that, but the drinks were exceptional ! Kinsey, Jovan, and Kimberly had great customer skills. I felt inspired to get more matcha ! I will be coming back !“

“Some drinks are better than others. For certain drinks the flavors don't really come through and for the macarons as well. Has a good atmosphere and decor and I like that it closes later so I can stop by for by boba fix. Service is also good.“

“Been coming here since 2022 and it's my family's favorite boba place. We have tried others in the area and no other place compares to Bobaloca! The owners and their employees are always nice and provide the best service. Definitely a must try, you won't regret it. Lots of options to choose from. Enjoy!“

“The Almond milk tea with boba was awesome, had that with hot fried calamari. My 1st time here, I'm gonna be a regular here..“
