My daughter and I tried Boba Time for the first time and we loved it! I had the strawberry matcha which was really good and she had the peach lychee tea and she and my granddaughter loved it. I can't wait to go back and explore more flavors! Next time I'll make sure to take photos. read more

Customer service ZERO!!! I asked if I can use the restroom because there's codes so you have to ask for a code and there were two restrooms on the back end of the establishment! I was told that the restrooms were out of order but there were no signs on the doors and I was like OK. I thought it was because I made a mobile order so they probably thought that I wasn't a customer but she should've known that I was since I was standing there waiting for an order. At that time some people came in who are obviously known by what looked to be the owner and guess what one of the guys went back to use the restroom. With the long waits - honor your signs- bathrooms for customers only!!!! I asked the girl hey why did that guy just came out the restroom if you said they were not working that that's not cool. She said well that's what we're told to say!!!! Wtf if you do that make sure you do that for everyone. The sign says for customers only which is what I am so I should've been allowed to use the restroom just like this person was allowed to use the restroom so yes for me customer service is a zero! All you had to do was give me the code I'm not dirty I'm not from the streets I promise you I would've washed my hands!! Some people cannot hold their pee! With the wait times so long you really need to fix those restrooms! Cough cough Be better BOBA TIME read more

BobaTime can be a hit or miss on their drinks. What really made us decide not come here anymore was due to how they tried to handle a mistake on their end. One of our drinks had absolutely no sweetener when we specified 100% sugar. We found out at home and decided to call the store and the employee was not helpful on giving us a solution. It would've been nice if they gave us store credit or refund but she wanted us to go back with the drink so "that she can drink it!?" It almost seem that's what she meant. We were upset that they didn't want to make this right when it was their mistake. There's a reason why this place has poor ratings read more

I dropped my pup off for grooming next door and decided to try this place out. The strawberry coconut was perfect for the 105 degree day. Staff were wearing masks and were most of the patrons in the shop. They have a huge selection which was a little overwhelming for me so I chose to order from their top 10 drinks. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 is that the wait was a bit long. There was only 1 cashier and she seemed to have to help in the back at times. They should consider either adding another cashier or increasing the workers in the back. read more

They proceeded to argue with me saying it was the correct one but the little boba chart said other wise 2nd time: after waiting 30+ minutes for 2 coconut strawberry smoothies with strawberry popping boba we got our smoothies with no boba what a surprise!

If I could give a 0 I would. I did an online order around 4:38 to pick up at 5:00pm on Sunday January 3, 2021. I get there and I'm waiting and people kept getting their drinks. I keep asking about my drink and they keep saying they will check. It's 5:36 and I barely get my drink. What's the point of an online order if I'm still going to wait ? Get a better system.

I found a clump or two (nothing too outrageous tho); -Yes it does seem that they get busy and move slowly.

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.

It may seem like a small thing, but people don't do this anymore. That little extra bit of care and human connection really moved me. The note felt heartfelt. It felt personal. It made me feel like the people behind this little café actually care about the experience they're creating and take pride in what they're offering to their community. And honestly, that matters to me, especially when we're talking about what we put into our bodies. There's something beautiful about starting your morning with something made and served by people who genuinely care. This is the kind of place I want to support. A local, mom-and-pop business where you can feel the human touch. Where someone goes the extra mile, not because they have to, but because they care. So if you're looking for a good café con leche, go support them. Thank you, Espumita, for the beautiful little reminder that kindness and personal connection still exist. 5 stars for the coffee, but honestly, 10 stars for the care!

Nicki Minaj- THE QUEEN OR RAP went to visit and you know what they did they really got a chocolate vanilla swirl and tossed it in her face! I was like girl bye they finna get fined for sure LMAOOO anyways besides the point these people should get fired and I hope they unalive themselves because they deserve it (: NOT TO MENTION THEYRE TRUMP SUPPORTS LIKE PLS they really think they did sum anyways they should be the only ones to get deported but you didn't hear it from me mwah.

HORRIBLE BOBA SHOP!!!!! DO NOT COME. The owner is extremely disrespectful to customers and employees; does not even take consideration to wear a mask during this pandemic. He does not treat his employees with respect, treats them like animals. I have seen him drink from the blender and spoons that the employees use to make drinks. I've overheard his employees talk bad about their boss, which I don't blame them because they said that he re-uses items from the trash to serve to customers. Gross. And for some reason there are only about 2 female employees that work there. I asked one of the workers if they were hiring because my daughter wanted a job, but they honestly told me that he does not hire women because they are too weak and cannot do anything. read more

I have been to many boba time shops in socal, and I must say, this is the most spacious, and most NICEST boba shop I've ever seen!! They're brand new in Riverside, and they're located around many other retail stores. Decor of this place is very clean and simple. Staff is amazing. And the BATHROOM!! There's a button that turns on the lights for your bathroom selfies! (Day WHAT!?) The drinks here is also AMaZING!! My 3 favorite is the strawberry matcha, coconut strawberry, and guava ice tea. They also have shaved ice and Acai bowls on their menu! The staff here is very friendly, and the owners are super cute!! I will definitely come back for more!!! read more

Absolutely disgusting!! The bosses here do not respect their employees as they make hateful and rude comments so do not support this store at all!! Ive been told from many people that many of the utencils being used are dirty and being used from the trash! Please support somehwere else! I dont condome the behavior that they have been doing, its very unproffesional and i hope thye get replaced with better people. I got boba from here once and never again! There was still fruit peelings and lemon seeds in my boba! The people who work here are extremely rude, please give this boba shop one star because they deserve to go out of buisness!! read more

It could be a bit creamier, but it was still very enjoyable. The jasmine milk tea with regular sugar and light ice was just okay. I would not get it again since it tasted kind of bland. The main attraction here is definitely the popcorn chicken, however the food feels a little overpriced for the portion size. It was flavorful, well seasoned, perfectly salty, and crispy. Even at medium spice, it had a nice kick. There were no weird pieces either. The only downside is some inconsistency in size since a few pieces could be smaller. The mozzarella sticks were also very good. I prefer them with ketchup instead of marinara. They are your typical mozzarella sticks and taste good, but the popcorn chicken is what really stands out.

Dutch Bros Coffee

Stick with me, this is gonna be a long, but worth reading review…read more About 6 years ago I tried Dutch bros for the first time while visiting my grandparents in Oregon. They lived near the original location. It wasn't busy and they gave me a ton of random stickers. So since then, Dutch has always been my favorite coffee spot and the stickers have always been my fav thing to look forward to on the 1st Wed of the month. Every year I'd visit my grandparents and Dutch bros was always a stop, sometimes twice in a day! Fast forward to now, we have a Dutch 10 min away and tonight I totally realized I forgot to stop by for my sticker. They were all out and I was lowkey so bummed because my favorite color is blue, and I love checkers everything (it's the millennial in me). Daisy stepped away for a moment and brought back a sticker! Her sticker. She gave me the one she got as an employee. I know it's just a sticker, but Daisy, you made my night. My grandma just passed away last week and life has been kinda rough lately. Dutch always reminds me of her and my grandparents house.

There is a sign that says that it is open everyday, which is nice. There is plenty of parking. There was a kiosk to order from as you come into the front entrance. After ordering there was plenty of seats available from tables to couch seating. Definitely a place students would come around to hang out or study. They had many options but I tried the milk tea with boba and my fiancé had the honeydew milk tea with boba but subbed it for soy milk and popcorn chicken. It did not live up to the expectations. The milk tea was okay. But the boba had no taste at all. The popcorn chicken also wasn't bad but wasn't good either. It came with 2 sweet and sour and 1 ketchup cup. The breading was bland and the sweet and sour helped. Overall, I don't think I'd come back and try it out. It is a chill place to hang out but it isn't a place I'd come back to try other drinks or food.
