Sleepy Kitea - Play toys for kids and extensive menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

What a hidden gem of a store. Has such a cute adorable theme and relaxing atmosphere. Tons of cute plushies, soft colors, and playful décor throughout the space. There's even games inside where you can sit and relax and play with friends. The vibe here is so inviting and relaxing. Good place to unwind with a drink. Took awhile for staff to come to the front and take my order but that's ok as I was taking my time looking at the menu. My order of Strawberry Milk came right away so that was good. It was quite refreshing and very pretty but too sugary. Next time I will have to ask if they can do less sugar. Parking is pretty convenient for the area, with shared plaza parking available nearby. Located next to Mundial Coffe house and pizzaeria. read more

For someone who likes to get her regular winter melon tea from here, I was surprised that they have this! I've been searching (and craving) this EVERY SUMMER and I have to go to either OC or Diamond Bar to find one. But knowing that there's one close by here in Riverside and so close to my house is . read more

The service is great. My husband knows one of the worker that works there and he tells us which are good combination which gives us a good idea if the food will be great or not. The ambiance of Kitty tea is relaxing and the staff are nice too. My husband and I get our daily boba from this place and the selections are as well too. read more

Service was quick, friendly and their drinks are great. Love their mango seasonal drink, a must try .

Firstly, I am a boba connoseiur. I drink boba about 4-8 times a month at minimum. I even go out of my way to drive far distances to try unique boba places. I have been to boba shops in Orange County, Los Angeles County, San Diego, and more. I can say with utmost confidence that this boba shop is top 10 in all of SoCAL in terms of quality and taste. Their black almond milk tea is out of this world, on par, if not better than some of the best boba in Irvine, Pasadena, and other areas of OC. But not only is the boba absolutely amazing. The managers, ran by two brothers, are some of the best people I've met. They are extremely friendly and care about their customers beyond selling them drinks. They get to know you as a person and that is something truly rare in any retail business. Please visit this place and keep it in business because this shop deserves to be recognized. It's sad when good places have to shut down because they don't have enough visibility. P.S. They also have a very cool animé vibe with artwork of their mascot which is a sleepy kitea, including cool tshirts and more! read more

Came here with my family. We loved it drink was good and lots of boba in the drink. They have toys for the kids and a tv. Employee was polite and fast on making the drink. read more

Rating the thai tea: Thai tea was definitely sweet, good tea taste as well! But only downside was no creaminess in the thai tea. Thai tea is also known for its creamy tea flavor. I let the cashier know that it wasn't creamy, he did say he ran out of their half and half. So I was a little confused why the drink was even available if that ingredient was not available. 3/5 due to no creaminess. read more

Okay, I've been seriously obsessed with Thai milk tea boba lately and honestly, "obsessed" might be putting it lightly. I usually go to the coffee shop next door, but I decided to switch it up and finally try Sleepy Kitea Boba... and I'm so glad I did! My Thai tea was creamy, perfectly sweet, and had that bold flavor I love. You can tell they use quality ingredients. Also, as a total cat lover, I have to say the logo is adorable. I was instantly obsessed. The vibe inside is super cute and cozy, and they even have little board games to play while you sip your drink. Such a fun touch! Definitely planning to come back (probably too often now that I've found my new favorite boba spot). read more

Decent boba, though nothing to really rave about. Got a taro milk tea 50% sweet, and it tasted like it was 100% sweet. Besides the drinks, service was quick and there's a little play section for kids as well as board games for hangouts. Probably won't be back though read more

AMAZING BOBA SHOP IN RIVERSIDE! Located on Spruce street, it is a great place to sit and chat. We stopped by on our way to dinner and we were impressed by the quality, service, and taste. The barista was very friendly and suggested 3 amazing drinks. We went with all of their recommendations! The honeydew green tea was the best honeydew drink I have had in a while! It tasted very strong like honeydew but not in an artificial way! Green apple and orange drink were also exceptional. Service: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 This is definitely a place to check out! Will continue to visit sleept kitea! read more

Loved all the boba drinks options. I especially love how the lemonade drinks are made fresh with real lemons. The service was wonderful. The person taking our order was extremely patient, answered any questions and was pleasant all around. The ambiance was cute. There was a couch, option to watch tv, toys for kids, games for any age, tables to socialize or just relax. It was cute and cozy but I think the ambiance could be taken to the next level with a little background music. There were lots of cards advertising the business which was fine but took away from the cute theme. Either way, would total come back and would total recommend. read more

Super cute logo! LOVE THAT THEY SELL IT AS STICKERS TOO! Great place to get some boba, hang out, play some of their board games, or study and get some work done. Plenty of parking and service is very friendly and welcoming. There's also some anime theming here too with the cute 90's Sailor Moon cityscape art prints, the vaporwave Cloud from FF7 artwork, the Dragon Ball Kame House tip jar, Demon Slayer, and some keychains. I'm feeling like as more time passes, this place is gonna be decked out with so much more anime/manga themed artwork and I am looking forward to that! I'm all about boba places offering unique menu items, and they do have that here! We got the: 1) Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie: -I got this at half sweet and it was still a yummy, delectable dessert drink! -Very fluffy and good distribution of strawberry and cheesecake flavor. 2) Taro Cheese Foam Smoothie: -My bf got this at zero sweetness which they CAN do for you. It's just of a more icier drink than a smoothie, but you can really taste the taro flavor that they use. They also have milk alternatives here and you can even get flan as a topping! Definitely want to try that next time and their dulce de leche and cajeta lattes sound yummy as well. PS. I definitely wanna see this place take it even farther and combine their cat and anime theming, it'd make this a GREAT place for photos and to stop by, especially for future Anime Riversides or even local anime club/cosplay gatherings. So like artwork or merch of the Cat Bus from Totoro, the Baron from the Cat Returns/Whisper of the Heart, Artemis & Luna from Sailor Moon, Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, Nyanko-sensei from Natsume Yuujinchou, Korin from Dragon Ball, Meowth, Skitty, and all the feline Poke'mon, etc. The possibilities are endless! read more

Purr-fect Thai tea! Glad I came. Small hidden boba shop in riverside. I called ahead to make sure they have what I want. Thai tea, no sweet, half and half. Purrfect! Service here is really good. Helpful young man at the register around lunch time. Very informative if you have questions. Menu is broad. Something for everyone. They also have board games. It's roomy in there. I'm guessing they recently opened up. I can't wait to see what it looks like later. I love cats so this place is just right for me lol Keep up the good work. See you guys soon read more

4.5 stars. I like this new boba shop! I used to frequent this plaza often for Best Thai and Mundial, so it's nice to see a local boba shop entering the mix too. I recommend the Honey Green Milk Tea! 50% sweet with some lychee jelly was perfect for me. The tea was fragrant and creamy (I got non-dairy creamer). Friendly staff! There was just one guy working when my family came in. Clean interior, but could use some wall art or a bookshelf or something to make the space a bit more cozy. Lots of tables to chill and study though! read more

I love boba. Decided to check out this new spot. The owner said it's been open for 3 weeks now. If you're in Riverside or driving along the 215, definitely recommend stopping by. Very refreshing. I got the taro milk tea with boba and tiger milk tea with double boba. The boba is sweet and made with brown sugar.

First time here. The place is so dope. The colors is an attention grabber, I love it.You get greeted with nice employees. Really nice. The brown sugar milk tea is good. Only downside is that I requested not to have boba but they still put it anyways but no big deal I still enjoy it. I would recommend this place. It's a cool chill, hang out place as well. read more

I asked for 50% sweetness and they gave just that. the boba was undercooked tho so kinda hard to chew but the drink def gets 9/10 want to go back to try their other flavors! read more

I have stopped here a couple of times. I like the drinks but I feel like the boba texture is so artificial and off. Still, it's not enough of an issue to deter me from coming back again when I'm in the area. The staff is really nice here. read more

Went here for the first time and I will definitely be back. There's plenty of space inside and they also have games you can play. The guy made great recommendation which made my tea come out perfectly. It seems as though the teas are a bit on the sweet side so I would suggest adjusting the sweetness if you don't like your tea super sweet. I did not like the boba. Something about the texture and taste didn't sit right with me. I may give the boba a second chance but as of now I'll be ordering my tea without it. read more

Drinks are very delicious, and just the right amount of sweetness. The staff there are friendly and fast.

I have been coming here for the past couple of months and I have enjoyed several of their drinks. I loved them all. You can taste the freshness of the boba. I love the fact that most of their specialty drinks come with toppings, it's a plus! What makes the drinks better is the service! I have no complaints we are always greeted and treated kindly.

Stumbled upon Sleepy Kitea after visiting the Mission Inn. These are some of the best tasting drinks I've ever had! I got the Matcha Smoothie the first time I visited. It was absolutely delicious!

Amazing service and their drinks are amazing! I absolutely love sweet drinks and this place has them.

This is my go-to place for tea. I particularly recommend the grapefruit orange green tea. Super delicious . One caveat, anything I've ever ordered with strawberry is soooo sweet, regardless of what sweetness level I ordered. It may just be the strawberry mix is pre-sweetened to a certain level and cannot be modified. So order with caution! read more

Sleepy Kitea is next to a place I frequent and I've always wanted to try but after I get a big o' coffee the last thing I want is another 20 oz of liquid. But today I went for coffee early and by the time I made it to the area I was good for a refill on my emotional support bevvy. I love fun tea places like this and even though it wasn't as hot as usual today, my pahtnah and I thought we could use some type of herbal refreshment so we pulled up. He's a lil h03 for Thai tea and he said it was the best he'd had in his 64 years of life. I went for the lychee with crystal boba and the homie behind the counter suggested I get either 0% or 25% sweetness because it was pretty sweet. Bring it was my first time and he seemed to know what he's was doing, I took his word for it and went with 25%. We didn't have to wait too long but it seems like a cool place to come hang out. There were people playing chess and these was a lil stack of other games to play. I'll definitely be back to try that strawberry green tea something or other. read more
