Came here with my daughters for the Hello Kitty meet and greet event. Boba was great with an easy ordering kiosk service. Customer service was great as well. One of my daughters didn't like her initial choice and they were able to accommodate by making another drink of choice. Busy crowd at the time we went but they were still attentive to the customers needs. Great ambiance and family friendly too.

First time visiting this location. Limited free parking in back. Along a strip of shops, a little questionable area but cute interior. There's so many choices for teas & toppings. Blended, iced, or extra large. Order at the kiosks next to the claw machines or at the front register. Little cozy sections to enjoy some tea with a friend. I ordered the same tea I've tried at other locations. This one seemed not as up to par flavor wise. Tasted like a different drink but still got the job done of quenching a thirst.

First time at this location and the drinks are AMAZING ! You can really taste the quality and care in every sip. The flavors are well-balanced, and everything tastes super fresh. Not too sweet like other boba places that I have been to. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and patient, which made the whole experience even better. But what I loved the most is the setup and decoration. Beautifully designed with such a lovely vibe -- perfect for hanging out or snapping cute photos Definitely one of my new favorite spots. Highly recommend checking it out if you love boba!

Raw Xiu Mai Came in on monday 23rd around 8pm or so. Ordered a Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. Milk tea was average and I could still taste the tea and would give it alone a 7.8/10 but the boba was old and was not chewy, it has that mush from sitting in the boba pot for too long. Ordered a bao bun and reheated it to eat and it was fine However when I heated up the xiu mai, the pork inside was still raw and I started dissecting the other pieces to see if it was raw as I had to spit the entire piece of xiu mai out and I'm not sure how you guys reheat this or make it back there but this should have never been raw. Xiu mai cooked should not be THIS pink. Will not be returning with this poor food prep, I could have seriously gotten food poisoning or an upset stomach.

Updated Review: Since my original review, the owner responded on Yelp, kindly offering to remake the drinks, which we really appreciated. Update 1 - May 15, 2025: We returned to redeem the remake offer. The same girl who had made our drinks previously was working and kindly apologized. She remade the drink perfectly, just like the first time. Despite needing to return, I left happy! (: Update 2 - July 25-26, 2025: I tried their BOGO matcha promo and ordered the Matcha Cloud (coconut juice with matcha foam) and a $1 Jasmine Green Milk Tea. Both were amazing. The Matcha Cloud was sweet and refreshing, with creamy matcha foam that wasn't too overpowering. The Jasmine Milk Tea (0% sugar, no ice) was floral and strong, exactly my taste, especially with no added sweetener. Encouraged by this, I went back the next day (July 26), but my friend and I received incorrectly made Matcha Clouds, darker in color, not creamy at all, and completely different in taste. I politely asked for a remake, and the staff were very understanding and kind. They remade the drinks, which were much better the second time. Overall: I really enjoy the drinks at R&B Tea. Especially the CocoTwist, Matcha Cloud, Jasmine Green Milk Tea, and their Peach Yakult. However, consistency has been a recurring issue across a couple of visits. The team has always been kind and responsive, which I truly appreciate, but I hope quality control improves so customers don't have to worry about whether or not their drink will taste the same each time. Looking forward to coming back again! (:

Best boba I've had in a long time and with such a welcoming atmosphere i will certainly come again!

My son loves to come here for the boba. The set up is very cute. Parking is in the back and easy to access.

I recently visited this milk tea shop and had such a great experience! The drinks were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. You can really taste the quality of the tea, and the boba was soft and chewy just the way it should be.

Came in for some late night coffee beverages and customer service was amazing ! They are so sweet & their drinks are delicious. We tried their sweetheart brew & love latte valentines special and both were so good ! They also have cute little board games to play while u sip & the ambience & decorations are adorable. Definitely will be back & recommend this place :)

First time being here. Love this place. George was very helpful, friendly, and so kind. Very accommodating to all my questions. I was craving for something chocolaty with coffee ... He recommended the coffee stormy or the love latte (which is not on the menu, usually during valentines). So I got both since I was curious. To my surprise they were both delicious! So happy George recommended these two. Exactly what I needed for work. This will be my new fave boba place. Came during happy hour, so buy 1 get 1 1/2 off. Sweet deal. Thank you George! Best of luck with your upcoming program.

It's a cute little place to grab a tea. They have a few seats and a great selection of drinks and snacks.

My friend and I decided to take advantage of their happy hour (Monday through Wednesday 11 AM - 1 PM) where you can take advantage of their BOGO 50% deal. The interior is very clean, chairs are comfortable, and it's a great place to study. I loved all the natural lighting. They even provide free printing for customers! The wifi was a bit unstable at first, but was overall okay for the rest of our time there. The pack entrance is very cute and when you come in you can either order from a kiosk or with one of the employees. Ordering through the kiosk was super convenient, and you receive a text once your order has been confirmed and prepared. - Dragon fruit mango green tea, 30% ice, no added sugar, with aloe vera: I'm more of a milk tea gal but decided to try something different especially because of how pretty the drink looked. This was REALLY refreshing, and with no added sugar, it had the perfect amount of natural sweetness. The aloe vera topping paired nicely. I would definitely order this again! - Devil's booster, 50% ice, no added sugar, with lychee jelly: Even with no added sugar, this tea was naturally sweet because of all the fruit. I think it must be some kind of citrus green tea, but it was really refreshing. We waited for our drinks for a bit, but they had just opened so were probably just prepping and they apologized for the wait. They were really friendly and I overhead the staff patiently explaining what boba was to several customers who were trying boba for the first time. Prices are pretty standard. Will definitely be back!

Got the watermelon stormy with cheese on accident but James came through and remade it without cheese, its really good! Thank you!

I've been here twice and I've enjoyed my drinks so far. The fruit teas are more on the sweeter side so I do recommend going down on the sweetness level. However, I will have to take away two stars just because of the people behind the counter. When one worker was in the middle of making a drink, and the phone rang, they ran over to pick it up and after they were done, they went straight back to making the drink without washing their hands. The other worker who was doing register did not wash their hands either and instead began to help make drinks ...there is a hand washing station right behind the register. No offense, but it's common sense.. we are still in the middle of a pandemic and there are lots of bacteria on the items they touched. read more

I went tonight for some boba with my family. This was probably the worst customer service I've had in my life! The cashier (young Caucasian male) was very rude and disrespectful. He made me feel very uncomfortable and I did not want to be there. So he charged me for my fries and drink as normal and then turned around and said he will not be giving me my food and the exit is right there pointing at the door he didn't explain as I was confused. I then asked WHAT and WHY very confused he said because one of my family members had her mask off her nose. I understand we are in a pandemic but for him to be that rude was just disgusting and I would never go back to that place not a friendly family environment at all. read more

The taro stormy is my absolute favorite! my family and I went in yesterday and it took roughly 20-30 mins to get our drinks and a couple of my slushes were melted from sitting on the counter, we also ordered the cheeto cheese fries and there was hardly any cheese on my fries, the lady with the blonde and teal hair was super agitated that there was to many orders and didn't know how to handle the orders that were coming in, and she snapped at her coworker to ensure the guest that "there was going to be a 15 minute wait because there was only two of them" they also focused more on DoorDash orders then the guest that were actually in the building, I still give this place a good rating because there product is delicious, I feel like the boba place is super understaffed, and under managed, I'm not sure if the blonde lady is a manager but if she is that's no way to come across to the people there and to her coworkers she was super unprofessional, and this wasn't the first time I've seen her be rude. read more

Ok I love Boba and Riverside has a new Boba place. I have to say this place is great. The staff was friendly and answered any questions I had about their drinks. Moreover, they have many variety of drinks like fruit teas, milk teas, teas and a drink called stormy. They also serve food too. I decided on a fruit tea called the Hawaiian. I loved it and it comes in a big cup filled with pieces of fruit. I asked for no ice and 70% sugar and it was done right. However, the only problem I really had was the amount of space their was in cup. It was not filled to top. Maybe because I ordered no ice but still should fill to top of cup. That was all and I will return to try a stormy. read more

Had seen this place several times and finally decided to try it after my curiosity got the best of me. Was deciding between the Hokkaido or the Horchata milk tea as these are my two favorite milk teas so i ended up with the hokkaido. It wasn't as sweet as i usually like it but i love my milk tea extremely sweet and i still enjoyed the flavor. The boba itself was probably one of the best i've had. It wasn't too brittle and chewy like some other places, the consistency was perfect. The strawberry horchata was amazing , definitely hit the spot for my love of horchata and fruity drinks. The workers were also very kind, making jokes and dancing to the music. Their hospitality was very well received and appreciated , which is why i'm leaving such a positive review as i don't normally post them. Definitely recommend this place to any newcomers read more

I came to R&B Tea Riverside bc I was in the location and I previously tried the location in Pasadena and it was REALLY good. However, this location was kind of a disappointment. I ordered a honey green milk tea bc they didn't have one of the drinks I tried at the Pasadena location and it was horrible. It tasted like water and sugar without any of the tea or honey. I couldn't drink it and had to ask them to remake it (usually I would just deal with it but it was that bad). When they remade it, it was thick which is unusual for a milk tea and overly sweet. I didn't want to go back in so I just dealt with it but I don't think I would come back. read more

History

Established in 2006.

Bruce, the founder of R&B Tea, came to Suzhou, China in 2005. At that time, he was working in the IT industry. The heavy work load and high pressure constantly made Bruce think of and crave for delicious food and different beverages, especially the tea from his homeland, Taiwan. Despite going places and trying different types that were available, his cravings weren't satisfied because it was hard to find good quality milk tea in Suzhou then. Seeing this gap in the market led Bruce to identify an opportunity where he made a life-changing decision. Bruce decided to start a business by himself, offering various tea beverages concocted with ingredients of the highest quality. Through his perseverance and determination, the first tea outlet was opened in Suzhou in 2006. That's how and when the R&B Tea story began!

Do you offer gluten free options?

I believe all of their drinks are gluten-free, including the boba.

Will you guys be getting winter melon flavored teas/drinks like the ones they have at some of the other R&B locations?

Hi Jordan. We plan on offering winter melon tea in the next 1-2 months.

The drinks were delicious and served in nice, sturdy cups. Matcha Storm: A dessert-style matcha slush blended with creme brulee, this drink is a cup of creamy richness. It was blended perfectly to have a smooth, but slightly granular texture without any chunkiness. Moon Princess: From the secret menu, this is a peach green tea with chewy crystal boba. I really enjoyed every element of this drink. It was surprisingly creamy and had just the right amount of sweetness. Online ordering can be done through the app - super convenient and easy. Sign up for an account in the app to earn rewards and get BOGOs. There is some seating within the store, but it only seems like a good spot for small groups.

First things first is that this location is quite spacious, although it's a smaller store, I find that the store made the store very spacious with what they got. There's plenty of tables around and we saw a few hanging about and some on their devices. We had order online so there was no wait at all. I highly recommend downloading their app as they have promotions very often. My go to drink at Krak Boba is forever the Matcha Storm (Slush) and my wife wanted to try the Moon Princess drink. As the Matcha Storm is always a wonderful choice, they're always very consistent with the drink. Super refreshing no matter the situation and this time was no different. It's one of their most popular drinks and for good reason. My wife's drink, the Moon Princess was in my opinion, even better than the Matcha Storm. I don't know how to really describe it, but it was a taste that I had rarely seen. It was super refreshing, a mix of floral and oolong, it was just the perfect drink. Certainly a good recommendation for such a unique name for a drink. Overall, 10/10 Krak Boba locations, they have other locations and they're all wonderful. Love the consistency.

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.

She couldn't even confirm the location being next to HK bbq, basically saying she doesn't know her own neighboring store.

Their music was tasteful but trendy, and never too loud. The snacks were an occasional treat but SO GOOD, and the drinks were consistent. I always thought they were pricey, but I was paying for a nice ambiance, good service, consistent drinks and food, and guaranteed seats! But unfortunately Trà has gone down! They increased prices, added food that was NOT developed or tasted before rolling out, and they play weird loud chanting music the times I have been back. I have ordered the vietnamese coffee before, but recently it was watery when I received it and not full. My other favorite drink, passionfruit tea half sweet, is never going to be the same again. Every time I try to go back, it's inconsistent and ultimately not worth it anymore. I used to LOVE this place and I'm heartbroken. The nail in the coffin has been making the grave mistake of relying on my memory and ordering the popcorn chicken. Picture attached and speaks for itself! You are now better off going to Boba Tea House for your popcorn chicken and drinks.

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.

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 watermelon juice with matcha cold foam was so refreshing and had a light earthy taste. The bagel was served warm and nicely toasted. They were also generous with the blueberry cream cheese, which I appreciated. As for the cafe itself, the restroom trash was overflowing, but the restroom was otherwise clean. A couple of the tables needed to be wiped down; however, the cafe was busy when we visited and people had just gotten up from those tables, so it was understandable. :) Since this was my first Yelp Elite experience, I wasn't really sure what to fully expect. The cashier was friendly and greeted us as soon as we checked in, but he only mentioned the blueberry and sesame bagels and that they were out of regular cream cheese. Later, I seen they had a pizza bagel and I would have loved the option to try that instead. It would have been nice if all of the available choices had been mentioned during check in.

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.

I love R&B from Garden Grove to Corona. They usually make my drinks fast and delicious. Last night, after waiting for 30 minutes for my 3 drinks, Lychee with Aloe vera, passion fruit with aloe vera, and horchata, the drinks did not taste the same compared to the other locations. The drinks were about $5/cup so I think I should expect my drinks to be enjoyable. I know we all start somewhere and I do not blame the guy. He kept looking at the wall next to him for minutes. Maybe looking for a recipe which no one tells him about? At least he said "thanks for waiting" at the end and my wife was pretty upset because of the long wait and bad drinks. -1 for services -2 for 3 bad drinks +1 because he said "thanks for waiting" at the end. read more
