    Regular bowl size

    Rare Tea is amazing, it was so good I had to leave a review (not something I do often). A few weeks ago I came in for a tea and boba which I highly recommend. They recently added poke so I told myself I would go back for that. I went back today and the poke bowl was perfect. The seafood was fresh and veggies were fresh. The portions were appropriate for the price. 10/10 recommend. I would have taken a picture but I was eager to taste it. The staff were friendly as well.

    My hubbys and I were driving through the parking lot when we found Rare Tea. A display sign out front caught our eye; but two, get one free. We went inside and tried to order the two beverages, but were told that in order to get the special, we had to order certain drinks. Not everything on the menu qualified you to get the free drink. The promotion was very confusing.... They offer an extensive menu, but you could only order certain drinks for the promotion. The gen alpha cashier had to explain it to us gen x customers four times and we still couldn't comprehend all the restrictions. The ordering guidelines could have and should have been easier to understand. Then when we tried to order one drink within the minimal list for the promotion, it was sold out or unavailable!! Frustrating experience.... Of the two drinks we eventually got, they were tasty and the milk tea had a great amount of boba.

    I stopped by while running errands in the area since I spotted the sign and thought a cold tea would be nice and refreshing. It didn't disappointment. The store itself is really clean and has a nice aesthetic. It's a small shop, but there's a good amount of seating that's the perfect size for a quick drink. I ordered an Okinawa Mill Tea and was happy that the teas aren't too sweetened. It's a good mix of flavors where it doesn't feel like the sugar is taking over. There weren't too many people in the shop, so I got my drink fairly quickly, and you can see/hear them making your drinks if you're curious. I'd definitely recommend for a quick stop if you're in the area!

    Matcha latte with boba

    This place is so good!! I love boba places that give the option of no sugar added to the drinks!! (: the service is excellent and they have lots of options too. It's so cute inside as well

    I always go for the Mango Passion Fruit Green tea with boba! It is excellent and you can custom the sweetness level.

    NASTY!!!!

    The nastiest Boba I've ever tasted taste like straight up old tapwater. I'm not sure if they brew their Boba fresh every day I got the taro smoothie it's blended in some sort of water. It's so nasty and flavorful. I'm just I can't even drink it and I'm embarrassed to walk back in there and ask for a refund, it literally takes swamp water. I'm not sure what is causing this flavor. I paid $7.75 for this. There's something extremely off about either their mix or their blend, but it does not taste right. AT ALL. This is my first time coming here.

    It's my favorite! I would choose this over Starbucks any day. The service is always great, and it's a quiet place really good for studying, etc.

    Taro Smoothie with Ice Cream.

    Best Boba place in Hemet/San Jacinto Taro Smoothie is delicious. Being here 2 times and it's quick and always clean. Friendly guest service.

    Look at this work of art. I even noticed the barista admiring their creation from afar, lol.

    When I heard about a new boba teashop being built in Hemet, I was super excited. I don't normally drink boba often because the only places I am aware of that serves boba are either in Temecula or Moreno Valley, so this was a pleasant surprised. I ended up ordering the rose matcha latte w/boba; and let me just say, after trying this out, I feel like I might finally divorce Starbucks. The drink itself was so aesthetically pleasing to look at and admire, I almost felt sad I had to drink it. That being said, it tasted delicious, and honestly re-ignited my love for mixology and experimenting with different matcha drinks. I hope that this place stays open for many years to come.

    Words can not express how happy I am that Hemet got a boba spot! Rare Tea has a good variety of drinks to choose from and various toppings. I like that you can customize ice and sweetness, however I totally forgot and feel that staff should ask customers like other places do. Staff seemed a bit confused and could've been friendlier. I ordered the taro milk tea with boba and my daughter ordered Thai tea with boba. The teas were okay however the boba was delicious. It was soft and had perfect texture. I'll definitely check this place out again

    Matcha Smoothie, Lychee Smoothie, Duo Grape Tea, Strawberry Milk Tea Smootea

    Being a local from OC, I would consider myself somewhat of a boba expert! So when a friend told me about a new boba place that just opened near her house, I had to try! There was a handful of special teas, one that surprised me the most was the Duo Grape Tea because I don't see a lot of grape stuff being offered at boba places. Matcha Smoothie - pretty refreshing, and the matcha is very earthy and grassy, which is just a little different from what I was expecting, but it's not bad! I wish it was a tad bit sweeter though Lychee Smoothie - my friend said it reminded her a lot of jackfruit Grape Duo - the grape chunks could've been a bit smaller since it was hard to suck up from the straw, but overall it's alright! It's something you would get once in a while as a treat for a hot day Strawberry Smootea - you can't go wrong with a strawberry smoothie! Supposedly there's tea in this, but it just tastes like a regular refreshing strawberry smoothie Boba - not bad, it could be a little bit more chewy and soaked in brown sugar longer, but I understand that boba taste can vary

    Blended Thai Tea without boba
    Valerie B.

    Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!!!! The girls helping me were so sweet and kind and made me my Thai Tea blended how I like without hesitation or attitude like other boba places. My drinks were made so quickly and the place was so clean neat! Definitely found my new tea place! 10000000/10 for incredible customer service!

    I'm from San Diego and have tried crepes from many different places over the years, but this spot…read morehonestly has the BEST crepes I've ever had From the moment we walked in, the experience was amazing. The gentleman and lady working there were so kind, welcoming, and polite The place is also very clean and inviting, which made everything even better. The prices are really fair for the quality you get I ordered the Swedish crepes with peach and cream (recommended by the lady), and it did NOT disappoint--absolutely delicious My daughter had the French crepes with Nutella and a side of fruit ice cream, and she loved it If you're looking for incredible crepes, this place is a must-try. I will definitely be coming back again!

    Honestly only ever tried this spot once, but decided to give it another try because my partner was…read morecraving sweets such as the ones advertised here. First off, let's start by saying we weren't even greeted when we walked in & were only acknowledged once we went to place our order. After looking over the menu we proceeded to order & the Asian lady at the register (the wife of the owner Joe) was super rude & didn't even smile. She then looked at me like I was stupid when I ordered the Nutella only crepe, when I was very specific by the way, I understand if you're trying to make sure I'm making the proper choice due to past incidents with other customers "as you claim"But I really don't know how you get that confused when I had to repeat myself multiple times? How are you going to list something on your menu then look at me funny when I order it like you don't know what I'm talking about?? Language barrier or not, her service was very rude & unprofessional & the owner JOE is very dismissive about complaints, but quick to comment on nice reviews... Taking no accountability & not doing anything to fix the problem & being quick to judge someone or call us racist is my main issue here because we deserve more genuine people in Hemet not power tripping owners like JOE. Also this would've all been fine had the food at least been good but it wasn't, the quality of their "so called crepes" was TERRIBLE, WORST I've ever tasted, super UNDERCOOKED... even got sick from it afterwards. Had to go ahead & edit since it doesn't let you respond to this business replies. Highly recommend taking your money to a better Crepes location. Joe you claim misery loves company, no wonder your poor wife is miserable! It all makes sense now Won't be surprised if this place goes under, have the day you deserve! (:

    This review is long overdue. I've been coming here for 2 years and the pho never disappoints. I…read morelove LOVE their spicy pho. Even though I don't do much heat and can't do anything over a lever 2 lol their broth is delicious and so flavorful. I have checked out many different restaurants serving pho and none serve pho like they do here. I don't care what others say about this place, their pho is worth it! I agree, it's not the nicest or most clean place, sometimes it's hot inside because they don't run the AC and have a fan blowing instead, but I don't mind because regardless, I enjoy the food. I'd rather sit here and eat, than at a fancy restaurant with mid food any day! You also gotta try their crab rangoon, they are bomb with the sauce they pair it with. I live about 40 minutes away but come here sometimes once a week. Can't wait to be back!

    Was craving some great Vietnamese food, but unfortunately this place didn't deliver. The food was…read morenot great. The beef pho was surprisingly sweet, which threw off the flavor, and even the BBQ pork was overly sweet--almost tasted like tocino. Overall, the dishes lacked the balance and authenticity I was expecting. The service was also slow. We had to ask for some items three separate times before they were finally brought to our table, which added to the frustration. Between the disappointing food and poor service, this was not a good experience. I would not try this place again.
