I got the Taro Storm and it was decent! My only complaint is that the lid wasn't the best for this drink and it leaked all over my car. I haMaybe change the lid type for these drinks next time :) update: 4/20 i had ordered popcorn chicken and jasmine green tea through grub hub! the drink was very good and flavorful, and the chicken was very yummy i wish the portion of the chicken was a little more though for what i paid for read more

R&B Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

You may only order on a kiosk. There is no one to ask questions. It feels very unwelcoming. I usually opt out of using kiosk because I feel it takes a lot longer. At the end of payment it asks if you want to add tip, for what no one took my order or even greeted me. I will not be back to this location. read more

R&B Tea - Delicious Mango Stormy, 30% Sweet, Boba, Cheese Cream - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Friendly service, social distancing, and good quality drinks! R&B Tea just took over the Zero X next to the Lee's Sandwiches. I came in for their soft opening and there was 50% all drinks! They also have BOGO FREE for their Grand Opening this weekend. I ordered the Taro Stormy, Matcha Stormy, Hawaiian Green Tea, Kumquat Lemon Green Tea, and a Rose Oolong Milk Tea. The Stormy drinks were alright. The cheese foam inside is not super strong, so they tasted more like Matcha or Taro milk teas. The Kumquat Lemon and Hawaiian Green Tea were very refreshing! If you need a thirst quencher, these drinks are perfect. The Hawaiian Green Tea also comes in a HUGE CUP! The best drink and my FAVORITE was definitely the Rose Oolong Milk Tea. I am very picky about the tea quality of oolong... and R&B Tea hit it right on the head! The tea quality is PERFECT! Not too strong, the perfect creaminess, a nice light floral taste, and the chewy & sweet boba on top? IT WAS SPECTACULAR. Happy I don't have to drive all the way to Garden Grove for R&B Tea anymore! read more

Great teas. Extremely expensive for a boba joint at over $9 per drink with toppings. Save your money and go to any of the other places within a mile, the quality is the same. read more

Possibly the worst boba/milk tea I've ever had. We walked in, and wanted to ask the staff a question before ordering. No one was at the counter, we waited for several minutes, no one appeared. We saw someone lurking in the back, called out to the employee, but no response. We just ended up ordering at the kiosk and eventually someone came to make our order. We ordered the Jasmine Green Milk Tea and the Rose Oolong Milk Tea, both with boba. The boba tasted stale, the tea was severely bitter. We barely had any boba in our drinks! My friend and I couldn't even get through a quarter of our drinks before throwing them out. read more

The drinks there are SOOOOO GOOD!!! I personally love the Jasmine Green Milk Tea because the taste isn't overly sweet nor bitter!! I always get it with whipped cream and a strawberry bear ice cube!!! The ambience is really comforting and is always well decorated!! It's also very clean!! I honestly recommend this place 100%!!!! read more

R&B Tea - Jasmine Green Milk Tea with a Strawberry Bear and whipped cream - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Went during the soft opening for 50% off all drinks . Staff was really friendly but drinks came out inconsistent despite the wait. We ordered all the drinks with half ice and yet the Rose Oolong milk tea basically was only 2/3 filled compared to the other drinks. Kinda disappointing and embarrassing when I got home and handed it to my sister. Even though the drinks were half off, we still felt a bit robbed. Taste wise, boba is firm but chewy and fairly sweet. Hokkaido milk tea- very strong in hokkaido flavor Thai tea- simple and good Rose oolong milk tea- strong oolong tea flavor which is great. read more

I would like to leave a five star review because this place used to have awesome boba and drinks, but recently the quality has gone way down. I'm not sure if this is a reflection in a change of staff or ownership, but the quality and ordering process have completely changed. Drink quality: Let's start off with drink "qualtea" , since that's most important for a tea and boba shop. I ordered a jasmine green tea with boba. I received a cup half full of tea and boba, and half pure ice (see picture). This would've been fine if the sweetness and concentration of the tea was strong enough to compensate for the excessive amount of frozen water, but it wasn't. The sweetness was pretty much zero other than what sugar remained on the boba itself. The tea was concentrated, with pure jasmine flavor which was too overpowering. On top of this, the boba was not fresh and was all clumped together. This drink was a -3/10, it was pure sadness to drink. The service: This location used to use Clover (a payment system) and offered a digital stamp card through them. After purchasing 10 drinks you would be awarded a free one, just like physical stamp cards that many other tea shops offer as a reward program. To my best knowledge they also used to offer cash as a payment option and you could order with a barista (as opposed to only by kiosk). They've recently switched to using Snackpass Kiosk as the only order option, and cc or tap to pay as the only payment option. I'm not sure about the reward system as I have yet to use it, but this was a big letdown as I've been coming here since early November and had almost reached 10 stamps on my digital stamp card to receive a free drink, as well as not allowing cash payment. I had my heart set on getting a Taro Milk tea which had been my favorite drink from here, but when I went to order on the kiosk this wasn't an option, and the Taro Stormy drink was the only taro drink available. I looked at the overhead menu and the Taro Milk tea was still listed under their Milk teas. I asked the baristas if they were out of their taro milk tea, and they responded confused asking each other if they were out of the base, I never got a definite answer but they discussed among themselves and seemed to think it had been discontinued (which makes no sense unless this uses a different base than the taro stormy drink). I changed my order to a jasmine green tea with boba and waited. They called my number but the tea on the counter was the milk tea version, I explained this to the staff and they quickly remade the drink to what I had ordered, no issues here. This would have been completely fine if the drink quantity had been decent, and not as mentioned above^. TLDR: Overall I'm very sad to see the tea and boba quality go way down, as well as the ordering process. I won't be returning here unless something changes and will be taking my boba needs to Krak boba down the street. Signing off, Your friendly neighborhood Milk-tea Spiller read more

It's been awhile since I ordered from here. When I walked in I noticed there's now tablets for ordering & paying. It wasn't busy when I was in there so the drinks came out fast.

Really good boba and such a nice place!!! James and gorge were kind and helpful. This is the best boba in riverside.

Bought 2 drinks today: avocado stormy and house Vietnamese coffee. When I brought it to home to drink, it tastes nastiest that there's no green (avocado) milky flavor while coffee has this weird bitter taste (it wasn't brewed properly and lack of sweetened condensed milk). I had to throw away those disgusting drinks, wasting my time & money! I think the person who made my drinks may be newbie because it took them about 25 mins to complete my order and I was only customer at that time too. read more

I grabbed some lee's sandwiches and noticed this boba place was open next door. I decided to grab a honey green tea with crystal boba (1 free topping with check-in). Tea was good, it was a little bitter but the honey masked the bitterness. Service was great, and there was plenty of seating inside. I'd come back and try the other boba drinks at this place. read more

Love their brown sugar milk tea. Their boba is always fresh. I leave my house just to go get boba from this place. I love their happy hour special M-W. Their system is automated so you can just order and wait. I have also tried their stormy drinks but prefer the milk tea from what I have tried. Entrance from the back has really pretty real orchid flowers. And the chairs are velvet and white. They also have a laptop printing station for school or business which is a very nice touch. read more

George and James were very helpful!! The drinks were bomb too. So refreshing and the vibe was good to do homework

I ordered a matcha milk tea with 70% sweetness, however this drink has absolutely no sugar in it. It's completely bitter I think they forgot to add it. My drink wasn't completely sealed it and it spilled over my work shirt. Usually I love R&B, however this is my second time coming to this location and it's been a very disappointing experience both times. 2 stars because I usually enjoy r&b I just hope everyone has a better experience than me because this place is usually great. Edit: this is actually undrinkable read more

Perfect 100° weather for a cool refreshing drink. Luckily we happen to be nearby and stopped for my favorite citrusy green tea. I decided on the Hawaiian which had fresh watermelon pieces, oranges slices & lemon slices. For the name Hawaiian I was expected more of tropical fruits such as papaya or pineapple but still I was very pleased with the flavor and the quality of the green tea. I ordered 25% less sweet with less ice and it was perfect! I could've easily down another large on this scorching hot day. The rest of my party enjoyed their orders as well. read more

George and James make fire drinks and theyre super friendly and service was amazing !!!!!

Second time here and this time I wanted to try their fruit tea so I got their Hawaiian fruit green tea with grass jelly. . First of all I was surprised to get it in a large cup. But I love that it had large chunks of fresh fruits in it. They were definitely not stingy. The taste was so refreshing and tropical and getting it at 50% sweetness was the right amount for my liking. I'm loving this drink and will definitely try their other offerings next time. read more

Popcorn chicken is so, so, dang good. I have come to this place just for the popcorn chicken. Sadly though, as of 2/17/22, they no longer sell food items. Not thrilled with Devil's Booster - too much stuff, not enough drink. All the other drinks I've gotten here are good. I highly recommend their boba tea drinks. read more

I have been come to this R&B so many times, and I honestly love the drinks here until today !!! Even the drinks are good, their preparation is probably terrible because I found this little disgusting in my drink. I am so disappointed because I got my self up to leave the house at 100F to buy the drink that could risk anyone's health. I believe this is the careless in preparation, and they should take it more serious. Please put customers' health as your priority!!! read more

I really like the drinks I've tried so far, which are the taro stormy and matcha stormy. It's very creamy and the cheese really enhances the flavors. I've tried the food combo (drink + fries + popcorn chicken). The popcorn chicken isn't too bad, but the fries is probably going to divide people as it isn't crispy (it's quite soft and not cooked long... similar to In-N-out's fries but shorter). Since the main focus of the place are the drinks and the food is acceptable, I gave it the full 5 stars since the drinks are pretty darn good. read more

Overall the customer service was alright when I went. I'm writing based on my experience back in December. The problem I have is with the boba. It was undercooked. It wasn't just chewy. It was undercooked. I bit into it and was confused why the middle was hard, so I took a picture. Notice that the middle of the boba was white. I was just disappointed. read more

Great tea place in the area. The drinks weren't too overly sweet and the service was fast and efficient!

Been increasingly frustrated with this place since the change in management. My fiancé and I usually order the Jasmine green milk tea. However, during my last 3 visits since the change I management: 1) Milk tea tasted worse and they don't give you much popcorn chicken (about $1/piece) 2) I spoke with the worker about the Snackpass points, yet she failed to mention that you don't get points if the worker takes your order 3) Came before drink happy hour, where the worker said I could use both my free drink and the 50% bonus together. Come back an hour later and it doesn't work and she didn't know how to do it. The new decorations look great and seems like a nice place to study. Drinks are still good most of the time, though I feel a bit more staff training may help. read more

R&B tea will always be my favorite place to get boba. We ordered 8 drinks and they all came out so quickly that my boyfriend and I were surprised. The drinks were so delicious and the cups look so cute. The cashier that took my order was really kind and was really understanding :)) not only that but the ambiance of the place is so refreshing. There's a bunch of plants and games if anyone wants to play and hang out while drinking tea. I've also eaten the food there and everything has been really good so far. 10/10 read more

First time coming to this boba shop! Overall the drinks and service was great! I got the taro stormy and would recommend! My friend got the brown sugar milk tea and it was also pretty good! The taro stormy was not too sweet, but sweet enough, the only thing was that the blended taro was pretty icy, so small chunks of ice in it, but if you're an ice chewer like me then it is great haha. But if you do like it smooth then you'll be a annoyed with the tiny chunks. But the service was really great :) the person who helped us also offered us a sample! Would go again! read more

I've never been to an R&B tea before, but I was SO glad I did after stumbling upon this new location. First off, the store is super clean and the staff are so attentive! I was greeted right away and given recommendations based on what I liked. I'm a big matcha fan so I got their matcha stormy. Perfect sweetness and the cheese foam was so good!! I also ordered the popcorn chicken and a side of fries, you can't go wrong with these. My husband didnt want anything milky so he got the signature Hawaiian fruit green tea with grass jelly (I was told they make their grass jelly fresh in house)! It only comes in 1 size and its huge, very light and fresh. It's basically a green tea (you can get it with black tea if you want) with peach and grapefruit flavor and chunks of watermelon, lemon and lime. Yummm I'll definitely be going to be back to try their other teas and stormy drinks! Ps. They'll be on doordash, postmates, and uber eats soon too! read more

Ive been looking for good boba places for a while and I'm so glad I found this spot! I've gone to this place severally and they never disappoint with the stormy drinks! My favorite is the taro stormy. I've tried their popcorn chicken and fries too, and those are really good too! It comes with a side of ranch and sweet & sour sauces. The food tasted fresh and the fries didn't taste like they were frozen like those from other fast food restaurants. I got the mild popcorn chicken and it was pretty spicy, so beware of that before you ask for the spiciest option lol. Oh and the place is really cute inside! read more
