Reviews With Photos - Bobo The Boba

Ana T.

I came here to get something cold to drink and selected one of their specialty drinks, the Dragon Slayer, which had lychee slush, dragon fruit, and mango bits. It was cold and refreshing. Service was good and parking was easy to find. The interior is very spacious, very inviting for groups of friends to hang out.

Varinia R.

The Green Thai tea at Bobo The Boba is so good and refreshing! I'm always at the In n Out in this small plaza and I've never this tea cafe. The cashier was super friendly and the cafe is cute with seating inside. I also saw some tables outside, but looked like it was for little kids. They sell a variety of drinks, including fruit teas, milk teas, slushies, smoothies, yogurt drinks, coffee, and even taiyaki. I'm going to have to come back and try out their other teas!

AnaLisa V.

The staff here are very friendly and are always able to answer my questions about certain drinks. The inside is very clean and cute with comfy couches. Overall, the drinks and boba balls are good quality and are delicious. I love the boba king as well as the smoothies. We tried the taiyakis here once and they were delicious as well.

Rod R.

The Camo Crush was really great and delicious. The employee taking my order was nice and friendly and my drink was ready in about three minutes. The place is really nice and cozy. Five out of Five stars

Banana Nutella Taiyaki and Nutella Taiyaki!

Zoë Moon H.

Food is super good! I love the banana nutella taiyaki! I ordered it on postmates but the delivery was very quick! Only problem, the custard was absorbed by the taiyaki and we couldn't really taste it but it was still very good! It had a doughy texture so if you like that you would love it!

Justin P.

First time here, fast service, plenty of seating, pacman cocktail arcade and claw machine, awesome. Posters on the wall for the type of drinks they have good music playing in the background

Decent boba spot with lots of couch seating available. My husband and I came around 9:30pm and it wasn't busy at all. Got our drinks within 5 mins, though service could improve... For one of our drinks we asked for oat milk with NO boba, but we noticed the cashier punch in "almond" milk. When the sticker printed out, we had to remind her that we said oat milk... the drink still came with boba as well. By that time, we just accepted it. Not super huge deal breakers - we're still willing to come back and try other drinks!

Natalie T.

I always come here with my partner to get the halo halo drink. It's so freaking good and the staff are really nice as well. The inside is such a vibe and honestly the most chillest place to hang out with friends!

Strawberry Milk Tea & Brown Sugar Milk Tea (9/2024)

Dania P.

Great new spot to hangout and enjoy some boba! Located by In n Out - the shopping center is always busy and parking could be hard to come by. Very modern and clean inside! Loved that there are many seating options both outside and inside. Music is also played at night. Stopped by shortly after opening at 11:30 am. Drinks were good although the Brown Sugar Tea was on the sweeter side. 3 stars because the gal at the counter didn't ask what free topping we wanted in our drink so after we had drove off we realized that no boba was added. We did mention it was our first time so great service would've involved them being more thorough in asking questions.

Annie T.

Price: 5 stars. As of 9.2.24, Bogo drinks for their soft opening until 9/5. Yay! Will be back in two days to try other drinks. Taste: 4 stars. Thai tea was very good. Creamy and not super strong tea flavor. Boba was chewy and just right. However, milk tea with lychee jelly was quite bland. Family said taro drink was pretty good. Taiyaki fishies were not bad but I'll have to try them again next time. Only got a bite. 5 for $9.95.

Lynn L.

ORDER camo crush (4/5) the thai tea slush is a little on the sweeter side. you can't taste the matcha, it's more just for the looks of the drink. the boba texture is good and flavorful. i also tried the strawberry cream and cosmic green. the strawberry cream was super sweet and tasted like strawberry yogurt. the cosmic green didn't taste like matcha, but instead more like a caramel frappe from starbucks. overall, a solid boba place. the menu is almost identical to krak's. SERVICE we came during the grand opening, but service was quick and friendly. the owner offered water for those waiting outside. im impressed with the speed of the service. AMBIANCE cool interior with lots of places to sit.

Kim H.

NEW BOBA SHOP RIVERSIDE!! Service is fast and very friendly!! Lots of seating area however no central ac. Drinks are very tasty. I recommend. 9/10

Polly H.

New boba spot in the same plaza as lee's sandwich and in n out I like that topping is included in the milk teas Bogo right now til the 9/7 Good thing it was bogo because they gave me the wrong drink Was supposed to get the sea salt jasmine but got the signature instead

Friendly and helpful staff. My go-to anywhere is a Thai tea but wanted something different. I went with the Princess Peaches and it did not disappoint. Very refreshing yet creamy so the best of both textures and it included jelly. Yum! Clean and fresh inside with ample seating and cute games to play for the kiddos. Will come back again to try out the rest of their menu! read more

The store has some cute interior with posters and claw machines!!! The customer service is really nice! The employees seem very patient with me and was willing to be flexible with my order. But I took a star off cause the fruit teas kind of taste like water and I don't know if its cause they don't use a stronger tea or its cause I got it with low sugar level. But usually when I go to different boba places, I can definitely taste more tea with some flavor. But here it seems like they use more flavor rather than tea. Depending on your preference, it can be a hit or a miss. I also got some taiyakis from the as well. I love how they put a lot of toppings inside ( cause most places don't). But one down side is the dough is a bit doughy if that makes sense. Overall, I would come here again to try their menu and see what drinks I like about this store. read more

Green Thai Tea: I liked how you could taste the strong tea flavor, but I personally had to ask for the workers to add extra fructose because I thought it wasn't sweet enough.

I came here yesterday and was really disappointed. The customer service was horrid and unwelcoming -- one staff member with intense eyebrows interrupted us mid-order with an attitude on trying to correct us, even though she was in the wrong and misheard us. On top of that they still got the taiyaki order wrong and gave us custard instead of Nutella which tasted bad. The sea salt foam milk tea was the worst boba I've had too -- it tasted like salty heavy cream. As a big fan of sweet treats, cafes, etc I wouldn't recommend this spot. There are much better options nearby like Sharetea or Break the Ice in Canyon Crest :) better service and good items! 2 stars because at least it was clean and cute in the store lol read more

Was able to customize it to zero sugar and that's about it, service wise, the place didn't have anyone there so it was quick. Ambiance felt like an arcade in a way because there's a couple of machines and some tables. Definitely a place for a take out only. Felt off because they asked for tips when you're going for something to go .... Plus no size options.... Will not return.

They aren't half bad but you can find better elsewhere. I would recommend their teas and drinks overall. When I want to treat myself to a sweet drink this is my go to spot. I love how they have a fairly extensive menu where you can mix or match items. I got a matcha frappe like drink and added Oreo bits. It was very tasty almost like a milk shake. They have coffee drinks and plenty of non coffee ones too for the kids. They have a good amount of seating inside if you wanna hangout. The ambiance is very casual and it's right by the mall. Plenty of parking but it can get busy as they have a very busy taco spot Nextdoor. The service is good and the people are nice. They have also tend to closer later than some of the other boba spots close by so I really like that. Overall would come back and it's in a good central location.

Everything is good but my favorite is anything with their fried chicken and their hot mess sauce - my goto is their hot mess mac and cheese with all the extra sauces. I am obsessed with their homemade sauces.. hot mess ofcourse, garlic aioli, white bbq, and their house ranch are my faves.. don't ask me to only choose one. I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

The staff was so nice, and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and friendly. I loved the focal art piece on the wall with the shop's catchphrase, "For Those I Love." That's exactly the feeling you get when you walk in--a warm hug from someone you love. There's plenty of seating to hang out for a while and a simple yet classic menu. They stick to the classics, but the vanilla latte with house-made syrup was anything but basic. It was the perfect combo of sweet, creamy, and great-tasting espresso. So good! I also bought some merch and got a free drink with it, so I went with the raspberry matcha. I'm no matcha connoisseur, but it was freaking delicious. The raspberry smash at the bottom with the perfectly creamy matcha on top was such a great combination. I don't like matcha when it's too earthy or bitter--I definitely prefer my drinks sweet and super creamy, for reference. Side note: the damn bagel sandwich! I'd go back just for that. From the fresh bagel to the spicy mayo, it was everything I needed to go alongside my coffee. Love this place.

Overall: a cute place and concept( pretty expensive and hot or miss food…read more ---- My number one gripe is that there were no prices on any of their items in their display case for food and desserts. How are people supposed to know how much things cost? If here is enough room to have the name of the product on it, it's not hard to put the number of dollars it costs right there next to it. I hateeeee when coffee shops do this! The coffee was an iced pistachio latte for $8.50, and various food items that we had no idea the totals until charged for the bill, I don't remember the exact number but I was kind of shocked at the total price of everything which I think was high $30s-40s? The interior was super cute with their red chairs and their story concept on the walls. The seats were comfortable and it was pretty crowded in the coffee shop with students and people working on their laptops. The food wasn't that good. For the prices we paid I kind of expected more, especially from that chicken roll item. The chicken was very dry and the flavors were lacking. It tasted like something you can get frozen from the stores that you just microwave or air fry.I enjoyed the cheesecake, but I didn't really like the pistachio milk cake, it tasted Joe they just mixed their milk solution with pistachio pudding powder (based off of the to bright/unnatural green color of it) and didn't flavor it with any real pistachio nuts. I enjoyed the coffee as well however I feel that the prices of everything was expensive especially when we didn't even know the prices of 3/4 of the things we purchased. I understand that we can ask how much each thing cost but how annoying would it be to ask about every single one. It would be very annoying and such a hassle for the cashier too. On the plus side parking is easy bc it shares it in a pretty big plaza. Another upside is that it's close to a ton of good food options in that area as well. ---- Overall: I wouldn't be back, expensive, don't know the price of their food bc none of it is listed out, and the food is hit or miss, interior decor is very cute tho

Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

Employees have been friendly each time and they bring out food to you on the patio. Unfortunately the location is increasingly a problem at least while sitting outside. Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

Bobo the Boba: This Ain't Your Average Boba Shop Okay, so Riverside peeps, listen up! Bobo the Boba on Van Buren is THE spot for your boba fix. And guess what? It's right in the In-N-Out parking lot, so you can grab a burger AND a boba. #Winning This place is always packed (and for good reason!). Their boba game is strong with tons of flavors, milk tea options, and toppings galore. But here's the real kicker: their taiyaki is AMAZING. Like, crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside perfection. We tried the Strawberry Banana Smoothie (SO refreshing!) and the Enchanted Berry Tea with lychee jelly (total flavor bomb! ). Plus, you can customize your sweetness level, which is always a plus. Even though it's busy, the staff is super friendly and efficient. Bobo the Boba definitely raises the bar for boba shops in Riverside. read more

Been here twice during the soft opening and just came today for the grand opening, the prices here are the best you'll get anywhere as a good variety of options comes with a free first topping where others would usually charge so that's a plus! I tried their Bobo King and for a brown sugar drink, it wasn't as overly sweet as others I've tried and it was super good. Today I got the camo crush and it was such a perfect drink for this crazy summer heat. I also got the froyo slush and it aesthetically so pretty and a great refreshing drink as well! Also the workers here have all been super welcoming and nice and they seem to enjoy working here a lot. 10/10 would recommend going here at least once if you're in Riverside and will for sure be my new go to spot for boba read more
