Honestly, I should have went somewhere else. The pricing were a little higher compared to other places. I didn't try the food but I did get some boba. Was able to customize it to zero sugar and that's about it, service wise, the place didn't have anyone there so it was quick. Ambiance felt like an arcade in a way because there's a couple of machines and some tables. Definitely a place for a take out only. Felt off because they asked for tips when you're going for something to go .... Plus no size options.... Will not return. read more

Got my free boba today only 1.26.26 with any Pandan drink order. Tried the Pandan milk tea. Not bad. I'd love for a Pandan Thai tea but that's not on the menu. Guess I'll have to get two drinks and combine them myself next time Lol. Taste of drinks has been consistent, consistently good. Boba most of the time has the right amount of chewiness and they give a decent amount of boba. Of course I don't mind a bigger serving of boba haha. Easy to order in app, often very fast with service, and rack up points for free drinks or discounts on drinks. Their popcorn chicken is a kid favorite. Parking: spots are a little tight and plaza is busy but there's always parking. read more

Tastea - Pandan Milk Tea (w free boba 1.26.26 only) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

honestly... I love Tastea. I think it's one of my favorite boba spots. I was really addicted to their Horchata crunch at one point. I recently got their Tiger Milk Tea and I think this is definitely a new favorite. Honestly maybe even a little too sweet, even for me. What's nice though is you can adjust sweetness levels so I'll be sure to do that next time. I also got their Jujutsu rice bowl (but I took out the corn & got sauce on the side). Rice was alright but I did enjoy the popcorn chicken + sauce was yummy! Everyone's always really nice at this location as well. Love coming here for a sweet treat lol read more

I was contacted by John and offered for a revisit. I really appreciate the responsiveness and willingness to hear feedback. That's a key in my book. After two different orders, I figured out that the sweetness is not consistent for same level of sweetness across all types of drinks. Even though I added more tea top off and no ice, the tea flavor in tea based drinks is so much better than milk based drinks. I love their Oolong Peach Iced Tea. The flavor is refreshing, strong with tea and floral. But the milk based of the same one is so milky, and very sweet for lite sweet. If you have Asian palate, you'll probably enjoy the lite sweet, tea based drinks more. With the price is on a higher end, it's hard to commit to a drink or try out new ones. I also see that they added 80 cents for top off, which is not a big deal if the tea flavor is there. But I added more to the milk based drinks and was utterly disappointed. read more

My favorite boba place in Riverside I love that I can do zero sugar in my drinks and it still tastes amazing (:

The Pandan Oreo and the Mango milk tea are so good!! Definitely rec every one to try this place!

Been here a handful of times. The first 2 times I ordered the Banana Coffee and they came out amazing ! But the last 3 times have been shit. I've ordered the same thing and had absolutely NO banana flavor!! After 3 tries I will no longer be ordering it from here. As far as staff goes they are all great. read more

This Tastea had their lights on sensors and we had thought that they were closed until we saw a staff behind the counter. We asked if they were open and the light came on as we entered inside. Needless to say, we were the only group there and were able to place our order after we decided what to get. The place had plenty of tables and chairs, and we took the biggest table in the middle of the place. Once the light was on, the place is actually very well lit and kept very clean and neat. The staff was very friendly and she was knowledgeable when it comes to the menu. We went with their BBQ flavored fries, the cheese potato balls, and vietnamese coffee. I love their little munchies. Both fries and potato balls/tots were perfectly cooked and crispy. It goes well with the dipping sauces too. We went with ranch and bbq sauce. The vietnamese coffee was also delicious, not too sweet and not too bitter. I'd come back again here! read more

I ordered 2 jugs: Thai Milk Tea and Great White Tea for a game night party of 10 people. What fun, crowd favorites! No one expected to have these kind of drinks by the jug. To my surprise, the Great White was the star of the party, very refreshing, mixed well with 1800 tequila, and was completely gone! I called before I made my same day, online order to ensure that 2 jugs could be made/ready in 4 hours. The service was great and my drinks were ready on time. The Thai Milk Tea jug was $42 and the Great White jug was $36. The jugs come with about 10 cups, lids, and straws. The jugs do not include ice. I totally recommend for a group surprise! read more

Tastea - 2 jugs! Thai Milk Tea and Great White Tea ! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I typically love Tastea but I think I should have ordered honey boba instead of the crystal boba to my peach slushie. The rainbow jellies were still yummy. My husband got an avocado shake and paired it with lychee jelly which wasn't the greatest combo. The shake itself was delicious and nostalgic to a Filipino smoothie we had growing up. Both issues were our choices so I'm hoping next time is a better experience. Service was good and up to par, no complaints there, The storefront was clean and had the usual boba shop ambiance. I'm curious to order from their food menu in the future! read more

Ever since we moved to the IE, we haven't had Tastea and decided to see if there was one in the area and found this place on Yelp. We came here during the day on Friday right after it opened and place was not pack at all yet (probably later in the evening like most tastea) but plaza was pretty packed with cars. Seems like a busy plaza. Anyways, it was kind of nice coming at a time where not much ppl were there since we were able to take our time to look at the menu and order. Decent size for groups to hang out and chill. What we got: We got a large great white tea and a large mango all the way with boba and large medium spicy karate chicken (aka popcorn chicken). Everything tasted great and the amount of chicken surprised us since the box looked so small when we ordered it. Boba was nice and soft too! Overall a good experience and the staff was friendly. read more

Go-to place when I'm looking for a refreshing fruit tea. The peach me sweet tea (lite sugar, half ice) with fruit bits is my go-to. Friends ordered the classic milk tea and the matcha coffee (lite sugar). The matcha coffee was pretty bitter so maybe order with more sweetness. read more

Drinks are always fresh and tasty! One of the best places to get boba in the area! They offer a great variety of different teas and smoothies that don't taste artificial. Everything is made with fresh fruit and blended right on the spot. The interior is very spacious compared to other Tastea locations and they have a decent amount of seats. They made our drinks rather quickly and we really enjoyed them. The only downside of the franchise is that they offer just 2 sizes for the drinks: 20oz and 32oz. Whenever you get toppings in the 32oz, however, it's never proportional to the amount of the drink. 5% is boba while 95% is drink. Nevertheless, a good boba shop to stop by for refreshing boba drinks! read more

Got a piece of steel wool in my drink. The drink was Peach Me Sweet tea. I honestly love Tastea and this location is closest to me so I keep coming back. It's a hit or miss depending on who's working. But to suck up a piece of steel wool into my mouth is just unacceptable. Do better Tastea. read more

Wow, surprisingly delicious! Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30 pm. Only 2 staff members were working, and right before we were about to order, the staff taking our order asked if it was okay if we waited at least 5-10 minutes before our drink was made, which was considerate! Lo and behold, it was evident because they had a swarm of online orders, and I believe 8+ drinks were made before they eventually started making ours. We all got classic boba milk tea, with their famous green-colored honey boba. Fun fact: their classic BMT contains non-dairy creamer! You can adjust: - sweetness level - ice level - milk type - cup size ...and more! It was SO YUMMY! Despite the wait (which we were kindly informed beforehand and were not in a rush anyway), it was a 10 out of 10 experience--from ordering, to how delicious our drinks were. My cousins loved their Karate Chicken which was a large portion. Definitely coming back again!! Highly recommend trying! Their boba was so uniquely matcha green colored, so chewy, fresh, and tasty! Literally taste-ea (haha) read more

My husband's favorite tea place, he is in love with their Thai tea. He is a Thai tea fanatic and has tried over 40 places Thai tea and this by far is his favorite so much that I bought him a jug of Thai tea for his birthday. I like that I am able to order on the app and pick up. My favorites are taro tea and tiger milk tea with custard on bottom. read more

Normally I get a decent amount of chicken pieces. This time I got more scrap pieces. I barely have good chunky pieces for the price of $7.95. You guys need to work on the consistency of the food you're selling. The food is already over priced as is but give us atleast a decent amount with good chunky pieces of chicken not 50% scraps. I'm disappointed. read more

The best tea drinks in Riverside. They have so many selections of drinks. I suggest you give Tastea a try.

I got my younger brother totally hooked on Tastea! Although this is a bit farther away from my typical boba stops near UCR, Tastea never disappoints. Good quality tea, friendly staff, never too milky, real fruit puree, and chewy sweet boba? Tastea is great and one of the few boba shops on this side of Riverside. My go-to drinks are usually: The Unknown, Jasmine Milk Tea, & Peach Me Sweetea. My younger brother's favorites are the Honeydew Milk Tea and Strawberry Milk Tea. They also have smoothies that are great for kids! Tastea's drinks are definitely on the sweeter side, so I recommend getting less sweet or lite sweet. Their boba is green, but has no difference in taste than most boba shops. On Christmas, they even have red & green boba! I always order on the Tastea app! It is very user friendly and they give discounts and rewards regularly. I highly recommend using the app, especially during the pandemic! Super easy and quick contactless pick up. They have social distancing markings inside and only allow a limited capacity inside at a time. read more

Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE Tastea, but this locationis understaffed (making wait times longer). I came on a Saturday afternoon and I ordered online. My order was scheduled to be ready in about 15 mins and I showed up a few mins earlier. I checked in at the pick up window and the girl was super nice and said my order would be up shortly. As I was waiting, more and more people were showing up for their online orders as well as walk-in orders. There were only 2 employees working and I felt so bad for the girl making drinks while the other was on cashier. She literally had 10+ orders on her screen and we were all there just staring at her while she seemed so overwhelmed. I did have to wait an additional 10 mins but it wasn't a big deal. I felt that they could've used at least one more employee to help out on a weekend afternoon. Also, I got the karate chicken with medium (?) spice and it was pretty bland and there wasn't any basil. Kinda disappointed. My drinks were on par though. read more

Can't ever go wrong with Tastea. Came on a day their credit card machine was down and the app was slow/not working either, but the girls handled the situation with grace. Luckily we had cash so we were able to get drinks. Kind of a small area but big enough to stay and study if you're in a pinch. read more

The location is great, especially if you're going to be awhile at the hospital. It's a small, cute boba place. The menu isn't as large as other places, but you are able to choose your tea option, ice level, and sweetness, which is such a plus for me because boba drinks are very sweet. The lychee drink has real lychees! No wonder it's on their top 10 drink list. read more

Thought I'd update my review! I come here at least once a week. All drinks can be customized (sweetness level, amount of ice, type of milk, etc) to your liking. I recommend downloading the Tastea app and ordering via the app, which is super easy and convenient! Plus you accumulate points, which can be redeemed for free drinks/food! Your order will be accurate, ready and waiting by the specified time :) read more

It was my first time there & the iced tea was fire but when I walked in one of the girls that made my drink were wearing mini shorts and was having a whole conversation about her boyfriend problems...she looked irritated when I had to tell them I was ready to order while they were having a full blown conversation...after I ordered, they continued the conversation...there's always a time & place for everything and I feel like as a stranger I shouldn't know your business and for my first time being there it gave unprofessional. read more

We just spent a few hours at Ice Town around the corner and I'm glad my kids chose to go here, we love our boba! It was clean, welcoming, and loved the bench seating for larger parties. The cashier was patient as we ordered as this was our first time. Another employee also offered to bring our food to the table, but I told him I had it. I spent $50 after tip for 4 small drinks and an order of (the best) fries (ever), 2 orders of karate chicken, 1 order of shrimp, no spice on anything. Kids loved everything, my favorite is the shrimp. I did have an issue with the chicken, a lot of the pieces were just skin. Their "weak sauce" that they offer with the food is just a sweet chili sauce. Rarely do boba places offer food and although their menu is limited to these three items, they do it justice. We did also love that their honey boba is green. Overall, their tea was average. I feel like it was on par with any other tea place, nothing special. A little pricy, I didn't bother to sign up for their loyalty program as we don't live in the area. Wanted to get large drinks, but a large at $6.50 plus 0.60 per add in, I'm not down to pay almost $8 a drink x4! They do offer a "ParTea JUG" for $29.99 which I found laughable and enticing at the same time. I could probably drink a jug myself. Overall, great customer service, awesome food, just ok tea! read more

I'm a previous fan of Tastea ... not anymore Our drink had no flavor .. we asked to have it made again and we were offered "black tea on the side " to add to our milk tea ourselves, then they reluctantly remade it and it was worse.

Their boba is so soft, not too sweet and is green! Customer service has always been great. Had various drinks and they're all pretty good & their popcorn chicken was tasty. Location - La Sierra and Magnolia - It's in the same plaza as the .99 cents store, El Pollo Loco (not in the same plaza as Sharetea/BurgerIm, Blaze.) Seats/ambiance - metal stools with no backing but ample tables to sir and chill for a bit. Has the possibility to get crowded. No seating outside. Bathroom code needed and one of the team members open it for you, they won't give you the code. (hard for preggers mom's, lol) lively and colorful decor and menu. read more

I had to come back and update my rating. Riverside Tastea has to be the best Tastea for real good almond milk tea. Have been to other locations throughout socal and they have been rude and their almond milk tea taste more like mocha Tastea Riverside is my favorite location now. They're always friendly and they make the drinks with care. read more

This was my second try having Tastea, after first having it in Chino Hills. I'm starting to think it's just not for me. The first time I went, I had the "Bootea Shaker" and it was way too sweet. They had to make multiple adjustments just to make something I could tolerate. This time, I was in the area and ShareTea had changed their menu and removed my usual drink, so I came here. Since I didn't like their artisan tea series, I went with something safer. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba, half sweet. Again, the drink was ridiculously sweet. There's something about the boba that Tastea makes as well. It's somehow extra sweet compared to the boba that other places serve. So even at half sweet, the drink was too sweet. But then you add the sweetness of the boba and it's just too much. I ended up having a few sips and giving up on it. I get the feeling that Tastea's recipes are meant to make sweet drinks and it's just not something I like. These days, I want drinks that are just subtly sweet, but with a strong tea flavor and good quality boba. I don't think that's Tastea's priority. If I had to describe it, I'd say it was a chain that was catering to non-Asians so they give their drinks catchy names and amp up the sweetness. But they also have Tastea in Asian areas. So maybe they're after the younger crowd and know that the high school kids that come here like sweet drinks? I'm not sure. But this is the only chain that I've been in where I realize I have a salty "get off my lawn" attitude the entire time I'm looking at their menu and having their drinks. read more
