When your mom makes you go to your second Outdoor Supply Hardware (OSH) in a day to look at sun umbrellas, take a break at this little gem! R&B tea not only has the boba that my wife loves (not my personal jam), they have a delightful affogato that just hits the spot before you have to pick up your toddler from daycare! Great spot. Smells great. Comfortable seating, and a nice atmosphere. We will return! read more

Many people visited this place today! There was a promo that was buy 2 drinks, get a free soft serve. I took advantage of this deal. I ordered from the kiosk. I appreciated that there was signage to signify the kiosk is for card orders and cash orders are at the cash register area. I needed help because the listed promo code did not go through, but the staff was able to help me right away to make sure the promo code would work. It did which made me appreciative. The drinks were fantastic. I liked that I could easily customize each of them. read more

To start off, this is one of my more favored boba chains. I used to love going to the location near my college in Fullerton. I think for this chain specifically, I appreciate how it's not overtly sweet and there is a milder sense of flavor that is classy. I used to love the brown rice milk tea and cereal milk tea that I unfortunately don't believe is available at this location. :( For this location, I really liked how bright the interior was and it looked super clean! The boba quality is always consistently good but like I mentioned before, I don't believe it's the best boba I've ever had but this chain would definitely be a top ten for me. The service was standard, the staff were super accommodating and nice. There was not much to go off on as the hand off was a super efficient and quick process and we ordered on the kiosk instead of at the register. read more

Went to R&B Tea for the first time today with my Sister for Mother's Day to fulfill my boba crazy. Walking in I was amazed at how bright and welcoming the space was. I especially liked the artificial plants on the tables. Like most places now, they have screens that you can order from that were easy to use and pictures of the drinks to make it easy to choose. My only complaint about them is that they were in a corner that were kind of hard to get to due to the table set up. I ordered a Thai Tea with brown sugar boba and it was really good. With this place so close to home, I'm excited to come back and try more off the menu. read more

I stopped by R&B Tea for their National Boba Day promotion and found the staff to be incredibly friendly and efficient. My friend and I ended up ordering 10 drinks total, which earned us 2 very cute and stylish canvas bags! It was a fun way to celebrate the occasion and the quick service was much appreciated. As for the drinks, I tried the Devil's Booster and the Hawaiian Black Tea. Unfortunately, the Devil's Booster was quite watered down this time and a bit of a disappointment. On the other hand, the Hawaiian Black Tea was solid and pretty flavorful. My only real critique is that I wish the staff spent a little more time shaking the drinks so the flavors were fully incorporated. read more

We tried some drink and snacks from this location. The jasmine milk tea was pretty decent, not too sweet. However, the snacks were... not good. We ordered the popcorn chicken, which was weirdly cut into square pieces that look like fried tofu. It would have been fine if it tasted good. The mozzarella cheese sticks were not great either.

I'm giving one star for having lots of options on their menu and one star for having a clean restroom. Today I went to R&B Tea with some friends to hang out since they have a lot of options for drinks. I saw a big sign with their BOGO promo for their summer drinks, and wanted to order the hibiscus lychee drink. Well, guess what? You can't order it! I tried ordering on the kiosk first, and it wasn't even on the menu, so I went to ask the worker. She explained that you have to order the hibiscus drink to get the hibiscus lychee drink. (Did any of my friends want the hibiscus drink? No. Did I feel like wasting an entire drink? No.) Pretty lame promo if you ask me! Anyway, so I ended up getting the peach yakult instead. My husband got a watermelon drink. Two friends got the strawberry yakult. One friend got a potato corn dog. One friend got garlic fries. Everything was pretty disappointing. Potato corn dog was too small. Garlic fries were meh. All the drinks had way too much ice. The ice was also a weird size where it was small enough to fit into your boba straw yet too big and chunky, so we were drinking and spitting out ice the entire time. My husband didn't finish his drink. Overall, lots of choices for snacks and drinks here, but quality is definitely below average. :( read more

Felt like it was a 32oz cup or something. For the price it was worth it. Cheaper than most boba shop and the drink was huge. The drink was order with half sweet and it was perfect. It has lots of flavor and not sweet which was perfect for me. The place was quite large with a few tables to hang out for your drinks or to hang out and drink you drinks with friends or family. read more

Ran in to ask them if they had the bottle still for the "buy 3 get a bottle free" promo and the girl said yes we have one left, and mind you we are the only one ordering at the moment. So we ordered 3 drinks and snacks! Came out and the girl said sorry no more bottles because it's only while supplies last. I said you literally told me that you had one left that's why ordered 3 drinks and now you're saying you're sold out? The hell! There was one on display left so since it's the last day of the promo, wouldn't it make sense to give it to me? All she could say was sorry but it's only for display. SMH! Then here comes the worst part. I ordered their Hawaiian Tea (which comes with assortment of fruits at the location on story) and it came out with exactly one piece or watermelon and a damn slice of lemon. The popcorn chicken had super little pieces! Hella stingy here for paying at this price! Will never come back to this place. I never really ever complain but this place well deserves the one star. read more

Date: Friday, March 8th, 2024 Time: around 8:45pm Party of: 2 What: Boba Tea ROASTED OOLONG TEA ($5): *No sugar *Less ice *Boba (+$0.80) *Coffee Jelly (+$0.80) *Grass Jelly (+$0.80) After a meal, a girlfriend and I always get boba tea. It was a chill Friday night, so not too busy. They have two self order kiosks. We just had to wait for one person each to finish ordering begore we could use them. Using the kiosk was straight forward and easy. Tho hearing our number was not. My gf totally missed hers. (She was before me.) But she heard mine, so I asked about hers when I went up and grabbed it. (I totally didn't hear my number.) They have a few tables and counter seating facing the parking lot. We managed to grab a table by the kiosks since we were catching up. The toppings were good. The boba soft and chewy. The grass jelly silky. The coffee jelly firm and springy. The tea could have been stronger tho. With roasted oolong, I normally get that malty flavor. This was lacking in that. Otherwise, I liked how the toppings didn't make the tea too sweet. Yeah, I'm weird. I seriously just want a strong tea with toppings. No milk, no added sugar. Good place to grab a boba tea and catch up. read more

Just left this spot, picked up the Hawaiian fruit tea with popcorn chicken. The tea is usually good and the service is good. However my rating is based off the popcorn chicken. This is not your traditional popcorn chicken at any other milk tea spot. This is two chicken patties, fried up, cut and topped with basil and full garlic cloves. This is the worse attempt of popcorn chicken I have ever witnessed. It's basically $7 for some chicken nuggets. Stay away from this item unless you want to overpay, just go to the Wendy's in the same plaza for nuggets. read more

The house coffee is always my go to drink, but the Hawaiian Black Tea, it was my first time trying it. It was fantastic, refreshing, especially in the 100 degree heat today!

** visited on 7/4/2024 I had ordered on DoorDash to pick up 2 drinks. The staff was incredibly nice and was so kind despite handling several orders and having only 2 staff in the front. The store is pretty spacious for a boba shop, and there were plenty of seating there. I prefer coming to this location since the staff tends to be much kinder and puts a lot more care into making your drink. * be sure to order on the kiosk if you're doing card/apple pay and order with a staff member only if you're paying with cash. OKAY THE DRINKS: My usual order from R&B is their Hawaiian black tea, however their Wintermelon tea was the perfect drink during this heat wave. My boyfriend had ordered a mango milk tea, and it was pretty tasty too! Their boba is flavorful and not bland at all. Definitely recommend going to this location if you're trying to beat this crazy heat wave! read more

From the Business

Specialties

R&B Tea: we take pride in sourcing high-quality ingredients from around the world such as premium tea leaves from Taiwan, matcha from Japan and fresh kumquat juice from Vietnam. Each drink is carefully crafted with excellent and always from fresh fruit. Now R&B has more than 1500 stores globally in Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, China, Vietnam and USA.

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!

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location.

The parking lot is large, so we found parking with ease. Upon entering, we were greeted by the staff. I immediately noticed the "instagram-able" hanging seat with a flower backdrop. The cafe had an abundance of colorful decor and wall art. The comfortable tufted velvet seating matches the playfully vibe of the place. Drink orders Refreshers: -Horchata Made in house, creamy with a very sweet cinnamon flavor. -Pepino Con Limon Made in house, a wonderfully refreshing drink that is on the sweeter side Specialty Lattes: -Dulce De Leche (+ extra caramel, no ice) The staff was very accommodating. Ordered "iced" w/out ice. Flavor is coffee forward, but the drink is also very sweet. (Reminds me of the strength of sweet Vietnamese coffee). -Spanish latte (iced +vanilla foam) Great coffee flavor with a nice balance of creamy sweetness (creamier and a more balanced when compared to a Dulce De Leche). A wonderful drink if you want a coffee dessert drink. -Matcha Cloud - seasonal drink Coconut water with Matcha Foam is a wonderful pairing. The sweet coconut water really is refreshing without being too "sugary", while the matcha foam adds subtle matcha flavor that elevates the drink. This drink is perfect if you don't want something overly sugary/sweet. Snack: Next to the register, they sell a small variety bag of their pastries. The pastries are small bite sized pieces of the Larger pastries they offer. A great way to taste the various flavors and types of pastries, at a very reasonable price. Restroom: The restroom is a single stall restroom "disguised" as a refrigerator door on the back wall of the cafe. The restroom is spacious and clean. It contains a single toilet and sink with a mirror. The restroom door is very thick, and has two sliding door latch locks. A wonderful spot to take a break, to relax and enjoy a drink, as well as an atmosphere that lends itself to catching up with friends and family.

Originally I was looking to get pearls, but they didn't have any at the time. I asked the staff how the sweetness is, and he explained it tends to run on the sweeter side and grass jelly would add additional sweetness. I ended up going with 25% sweet. I think I could have gone to 50%, but it's fine. Regardless of the sweetness, the jasmine flavor was a bit off in taste for me in that it didn't have the floral quality that I was expecting. I'd say the grass jelly didn't add too much sweetness. I was also expecting the grass jelly to be the one that sinks to the bottom of the cup, but it was floating at the top, so initially when I was drinking it, I thought they had forgotten to add the grass jelly, but it was there. It was also cubed for ease of drinking. In addition to milk teas and teas, they do have Vietnamese coffee with different types of foam/cream toppings. It's cool they have the standard salt coffee, but also toppings such as ube, pandan, durian, egg. I had a Vietnamese coffee previously here, but I can't recall exactly how it was. They do also have some sweet pastry and some savory snack options. The shop was clean and spacious. It has some seating in here. It was pretty empty when we got here. They do have a happy hour 3-6 pm for two types of drinks (but all I remember is jasmine tea), in which the drinks are $4 each. Considering it seems most of their drinks land in the $6-$8 realm, this is a good deal. Service was very friendly and the staff member who helped me was informative. Overall, Cafes Quan is a solid option for tea and coffee.

I love that R&B Tea at Silver Creek is so close to work! I ordered the strawberry matcha using their easy-to-use kiosk, which made the whole process quick and convenient, including payment. The matcha latte was okay, but with the strawberry puree, it was a nice flavor. The shop has nice, open seating--perfect for a relaxed conversation. I met with a future coworker here, and it was great because it wasn't too loud, making it easy to chat. I can definitely see myself coming back to get some work done. The location is super convenient with plenty of good food options nearby and a large parking lot, which is always a plus. We've even hosted fundraisers where we pre-purchased boba, and the process was smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend if you're in the area looking for a cozy spot to hang out, work, or enjoy some delicious drinks! read more

I decided to give this place a try since I was in the area, and I'm so glad I did! It's definitely going on my list of top boba spots. I ordered the strawberry milk tea with crème brûlée and boba, and it was fantastic. The crème brûlée was rich and flavorful, and the boba had just the right texture and taste. Pricing felt fair, especially for the quality. The menu offers a lot of variety, so there are definitely more drinks I'd love to come back and try. The interior was super cute, making it a great spot to hang out or meet up with a friend for boba. I liked the seasonal offerings too. I'll definitely be back! read more

They have samples you can taste on the table which is really neat as it gives you a perspective on many flavors you have not yet tried. Side note, the fish tanks had fully green water. Not strong algae but just a deep green water like you see at Lake Cunningham. It was a bit unappetizing to look at. Water changes need to be changed for the sake of the fishes.
