Stopped to get something refreshing to drink while we waited for our dumpling order next door. The ambiance of this place was a little underwhelming but it was clean. It's very casual and there's a little bit of decor hanging up. The seating is very limited so it's not good for large crowds. The service was great. The girl working the register answered our questions because it was our first time there. I opted for one of the watermelon special drinks. It was a Watermelon Lychee Tea and I added Lychee Jelly. You could actually taste the fresh watermelon blended in the tea. This would be perfect for the summer because the taste is super refreshing and it's not syrupy. I loved it! My kid got the Strawberry Berry Tea. Same thing, it had such a fresh taste with fresh blended strawberries. Both drinks were drinks I'd get again. read more

I was at a Yelp IE event held at Haven City Market (HCM) in Rancho Cucamonga. RareTea was one of the participating vendors. It turns out, they are located in the same plaza as HCM. Cool! Weeks after the event, while I was at HCM, I decided to walk on over to RareTea to support them. Staff was very welcoming and greeted me upon my entry. Thanks! Ambiance was inviting. Setting was clean and bright. They have a good variety of different drinks such as Tea-Expresso Milk Teas, Fruit Teas, Milk Teas, Uji Matcha, Smoothies/Smooteas, and Specialties. Ten toppings to choose from. Ice level (regular, lite, no ice) and sweetness level (100%, 80%, 50%, 30%, no sweetness) of your choice. They got it covered! Thanks RareTea!! I got a total of 3 drinks that are part of their Top 8 best sellers. *Okinawa Milk Tea - Very smooth and light... enjoyed it very much! *Mango Green Tea - Tea was a tad bitter unfortunately *Kiwi Fruit Tea with Aiyu Jelly - Quite refreshing, love the fruity taste and aiyu jelly, best out of the 3 IMHO! If you're looking for something new and different, RareTea is your place to try. I haven't been back since my very first visit. I would love to return and try a few more of their best sellers! read more

Came back to Raretea on a hot day and it was the best decision. The ambiance was quiet on a weekday afternoon. Jayden the cashier gave me really good customer service and was very quick making my drink! I ordered a Wintermelon Lemon tea at 0% sweetness and it was a super refreshing drink with enough sweetness. I can't wait to come back! I only have one piece of feedback: please replace the TV monitor on the left as it makes the menu pretty difficult to read. I did not see a printed menu on the counter. read more

RareTea is a solid boba shop in the Rancho Cucamonga area that will satisfy that boba fix easily! This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a chill and laid back ambiance with about 4-5 tables for seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different milk tea, fruit tea, specialty, seasonal, smoothie, and matcha drinks to choose from. Wifey ended up choosing the Roasted Oolong Iron Goddess and I got the Watermelon Lychee Fruit Tea. Both drinks were refreshing with amazing flavor profiles. Overall, we enjoyed our drinks and definitely had our thirsts quenched. All of the staff are friendly and welcoming here. Our drinks also came out pretty fast right ordering. This is a great spot to come grab a drink and get hydrated if you are ever in the area! read more

Pretty chill lil boba spot. The tea is pretty well made, very tea-y and not just syrup slurp. Good stuff. Cool spot to just catch up with some homies. Automatically top 3 boba spot in Rancho Cucamonga. Not much out here though so take that as you will. read more

Shoutout to our server - Jayden (per our receipt) who was super polite and patient. Made sure to let us know if we wanted to use the bathroom before he closed it off. Inside there's not a ton but a decent amount of seating. Everything seemed clean. White aesthetics inside for a brighter look. Drinks were decent. Boba wasn't bad though I prefer a little more chewy. I think for pricing and quality it's good. The strawberry was relatively sugary but I enjoyed it more than the okinawa milk tea. Overall it's not bad. There's a decent number of unique items on the menu. The pricing is comparable. Nothing to write home but enjoyable. Still searching for my consensus favorite spot in the IE. read more

RareTea - Okinawa Milk Tea Strawberry Berry Snow Cream - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Real sugar cane and organic milk?! Ohhh Yeah this lactose intolerant boy is so there! Plus the in-house fruit jams and purees! Niiice! But the drink that caught my eye was their Mango and Coconut Noodle smoothie. Ok, so my first sip was pleasantly surprising as the mango flavor came through strong with the coconut chasing it right away. So that was a good first slurp but plunging into the bottom was most enjoyable. This drink was good but the coconut noodles made it super fun to drink and all the flavors just worked well. If they can do this with their smoothies I can just imagine how their tea is but that's for next time. The service was good and parking tends to be challenging if there's an event going on next door at the market. So other than that is was a solid experience. And that's my take on the Rare Tea shop, Peace out read more

My experience at RareTea was just okay. My drink itself was good, I had a peach black tea half sweet. However, I wish my service was a little better. I came in and there was only one other customer, but the guy working told me to use the self-serve kiosk rather than take our orders. He didn't really say much else to me other than that, and then I waited over ten minutes for my one drink, after the other customer got his. I wasn't in a rush so it was fine but just overall I feel like the guy behind the counter could have communicated with me better. read more

RareTea - Seating area... - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Very sweet! We had 30% and it felt sooo sweet but that's probably because we did lychee and boba and they have their own syrup on them! The tea tasted good but you can only change the toppings and sweetness. You can't pair black tea with passion fruit... each tea comes the way it comes. I wonder if they don't use pumps and can't change them? We didn't like the green tea version and the black tea peach was peachy... but don't love peach still I like the fresh feel inside and the friendly people. Smiled as they served and happy to serve... not my common experience at boba! Also psa... it isn't inside the food court we made that mistake read more

My new go to boba spot. I used to go to another boba spot everyday for the last 3 years until they recently changed their ingredients. Luckily I found RareTea! Their watermelon tea and strawberry tea are so refreshing because they're made with fresh ingredients. The staff are always so kind and helpful. Even when they're busy, the drinks still come out quickly without compromising quality! read more

Wonderful customer service. Thank you Vinh ! Ordered the strawberry milk and brown sugar boba drink. The flavors were great, boba was soft and chewy. Would recommend coming here! read more

Rare Tea feels very inviting, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. They have a nice variety of drink options to choose from. I tried the Iron Goddess with sweet cream and really loved it. The Jasmine green tea with sweet cream was also very good. The tea is strong, which was exactly what I needed since I didn't get much sleep that night. It's also in the same plaza as Haven City, which makes it a perfect spot to grab boba after lunch or dinner. Definitely a place I'd come back to. read more

Upon entry, there was very nice greetings! I ordered the strawberry smoothie with boba and it was good! The drink flavor itself was not too sweet but the boba was super tasty. Some of the best boba flavor I've had! There's a few tables for hanging out inside. Very clean and perfect for family and friends! read more

This place is amazing. We were driving back from Vegas to South Bay LA and I needed a matcha fix. They use real matcha here--not the fake matcha sweetened powder. I got the Iced Rose Matcha Latte and it was perfectly balanced. A touch sweet with rose jelly jam and perfect creaminess. I had to get my husband a milk tea with all the good toppings... grass jelly, custard and aloe gel. They were out of red bean today but both drinks were incredible. If they were local to me, I'd go a couple times a week. Any time we drive by to the mountains or Vegas, I'll definitely be stopping for their drinks. Also, very clean inside and the baristas were kind. read more

We spotted this little shop when we were out shopping this past weekend. My oldest daughter and I decided to try it out yesterday. We were greeted upon entering. I don't know if they were having issues with their A/C or if it's just the fact that the late afternoon sun comes right in their store, but I noticed it was quite warm inside. There are a couple tables and chairs inside and the place has minimalist decor but is bright and nice. They offer their WiFi password and it seems like it'd be a nice place to hang out and work or study, if it wasn't so warm. My daughter got a mango green tea with lychee jelly and I opted to try their strawberry berry snow cream with boba. Mine was delicious--I got it at 80% sweetness and the strawberry purée was refreshing. The boba tasted good and the snow cream had a savory flavor to it! It really worked well! My daughter was raving about her drink as well. Usually she lets her drinks sit for a while and I wonder if she's going to ever finish them. This one she devoured quickly and even grabbed a spoon to eat up the rest of the lychee jelly. She said this may be her new favorite boba tea spot! I had to agree! read more

I really appreciate the manager addressing my questions and offering to remake the drink! I came back and ordered the same drink but again, it tasted the same. I ended up ordering an extra spring tea without milk because I could not taste the flavor of the tea with the milk. The tea is extremely light so anything added to it will totally overpower it. This tea would work for someone who enjoys super light tea but I would recommend it without milk. I prefer stronger teas like jasmine green so I will definitely be back to try that. I can tell that they actually care about your experience which is RARE these days so I would recommend giving them a try. Maybe they are living up to their name after all :) read more

Great little boba shop in Rancho! Very bright, cute, and lots of seating. They had a couple of things that not many boba shops have. We got two drinks. Kiwi Fruit Tea with Aiyu jelly, they stated their drinks typically run a little sweeter so I opted to get 80% sweetness and it was perfect. I have never had aiyu jelly, they explained it was an orange flavor type of jelly and it just matched perfectly with the kiwi! We also go the Okinawa milk tea which I also have never seen but they stated it's basically a roasted tea. So basically oolong lol still pretty good not super roasted like a typical oolong but still worked pretty well. Would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

My favorite boba spot. I always order the caramelized brown sugar boba and it comes out perfect every time. Boba is squishy and chewy which is always a plus, hate when it's overcooked. The milk is delicious with the brown sugar, super creamy and not too sweet. I have to try more things from here but the brown sugar boba is too good. read more

We were in the area and curious to try this place. The guy behind the counter was very welcoming! The menu is clear and has a lot of options, and they had some summer specials too. I like their topping choices like "snow cream" (its like cheese foam, very good!!) and ice cream. I got the matcha latte with snow cream and oreos which is a typical combo for me at boba places. My husband got the strawberry milk tea "smootea" which i had a sip of and it was VERYYYYYYY good. Normally i dont like strawberry flavored things but this was just as refreshing as a real strawberry and really creamy. I would definitely recommend both drinks. The matcha was creamy as well which i like better than watery. Theres enough space to sit and hang for awhile and the decor is simple with some cute art pieces and plants. Bathroom was clean. I'd be back if im in the area again! Good amount of parking because its in a strip mall type area with lots of stores read more

Cute little boba shop in a plaza, so shared parking lot. Also, there's around 5? Tables inside. I ordered the high mountain milk tea with boba and the boba was nice and chewy. I think I might have misheard and ordered wrong but my tea wasn't very strong, it still tasted very good tho but I'd probably order something else next time. My friends come here all the time and they usually get the Uji matcha latte and roasted oolong milk tea. I had a sip of my friends matcha latte and was delicious! Our drinks took maybe 5-10 mins, and the person who rang me up was very patient in explaining everything to me! I also really appreciated that they asked how much ice and sweetness we wanted for each drink, sometimes I forget to ask for adjustments for both. read more

Place is hidden but the interior is very cutely decorated with animated animals in boba cups. Gives a very minimalistic and warm interior. Handmade Taro Fresh (Regular Ice, Boba): I guess it's discontinued since it was printed on the boba sticker label. Just milk and handmade taro puree. I would recommend to drink it quickly because it was hard to drink the taro puree as it all condenses to the bottom. Okinawa Milk Tea (less ice, 80% sweet, crystal boba): Very light milk tea taste. Crystal boba was very bouncy. Would recommend this drink to those that like the simple and nothing fancy drinks. read more

One of my go to spots for boba. If you're ever in the Rancho Cucamonga area or near Haven City Market and don't feel like going inside, this place is a few step away. This boba spot has a variety of drinks to choose from. You can also adjust your level of sweetness and ice level. The service here is great. The workers are friendly and open for a friendly conversation & willing to make drink suggestions. My only negative is that there were a few times when I have come here and they have run out of boba. read more

I am a boba addict and always seeking to find healthier options to drink them. Most places would use corn syrups or artificial flavors. Here, you will find their flavors are made with real fruit jams as sweeteners. Drinks are always consistent and service is fast. Boba is cooked to perfection since I find some places are undercooked or overcooked. Place is spacious enough to work or just hang out. It's clean and fresh with the friendliest staffs. I've tried mostly milk teas and lychee fruit teas. My husband always gets their rose or strawberry matcha. High quality drinks for the price of regular boba drinks elsewhere. read more

I know it's a chain but I had never been to one until today. I ordered a jasmine milk tea 50% sweet with boba, and that is exactly what I got. The boba were soft, slightly sweet, and delicious, as was the jasmine tea.

Zero complaints! read more

I love the tea here! I love that I can use a clean bathroom if needed. I love the young men that work here, they are so kind and nice. HOWEVER, yesterday, I needed to use the bathroom, so I asked the owner for the code. He said policy is to pay first..then you can get the code. What?? He was too busy to take my money and order. He told me he was polite, anything but. I am 74 years old, I neither steal nor make a mess. I came here all of the time. I went back with my BF to say that I felt awful after our interaction.
