First time visitors to this cute mom and pop Taiwanese food/boba shop in the Trader Joe's shopping center. Two entrees, one dumpling appetizer and a boba drink was pushing $60 after tip. Food was yummy (took almost 25 minutes, but the food was made fresh!) service was friendly and attentive. The owner was really chatty and answered any questions we asked, patiently since we've never been. My husband didn't care for the minced meat, I enjoyed it, but we both agreed that the blended almond slush with boba was the best thing that we ordered! We wish this business continued success, even established in the community after 5 years, they are talking about moving locations, good luck! read more

Our shop ordered lunch here today and I got the soup. Everything came hot and fresh. It would have been helpful of they wrote what each item was so we could sort it better in the shop. We eventually figured it out. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. My soup was good, not too spicy and had a nice flavor profile. read more

The lady that took our order was very nice. The small dining area was clean. I wish I could speak highly of the XLB dumplings but to be honest, they were very underwhelming. They tasted like they were frozen and reheated. That's all we ordered. Sadly, we won't be back. read more

One day I had a craving for authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup, exactly like the one i had in Taoyuan City. My Yelpers helped me find this place so I decided to give it a try. Located in the Trader Joe's shopping center off Winchester, so parking is extremely tight. I got exactly what I wanted... the taste of the beef soup w tendon marbled beef chunks. The soup had that special hint of star anise I was looking for. The noodles were perfect in texture. Lady at the counter was helpful and the place was nice and clean. Definitely would go back. read more

Triple B Cafe - Taiwanese beef noodle soup... yummm!! - Chinese Near Me - Temecula, California

Like a VIRGIN, we came to Triple B cafe for the VERY FIRST time! And I'm so glad we did because we found some of our favorite LA foods right here and it's in this cute little plaza near Krispy Kreme's and Trader Joe's... We ORDERED: The mild beef noodle soup, beef rolls and the lunch special of Pork Chop Curry rice which comes with a tea & I got the Hokkaido milk tea. "It was so good that we ordered some more items " HEHE! ORDERED more: XLB, popcorn chicken & brown sugar milk tea. WHAT WE LOVED THE MOST: the fried PORK chops, the beef noodle soup which STAYED HOT for a very long time! It was hotter than Korean Tofu soup! I loved the HOKKAIDO milk tea and it's something we can only find in LA usually like at the Jazz cat cafe or Boba Ave. so V I'm so happy that we have that here in our lovely town of Temecula! SERVICE: Very friendly especially Chinese friendly because she loved speaking Chinese to us ;) Cheers everyone! read more

First thing walking in you get blasted with an ear piercing door chime. This is a first bad impression hurting the ears of your customer. The menu here has A LOT on it. And that does not seem to be a good thing for them. The two drinks we wanted they did not have. One they were out of and the other they could not make because the hot drink machine was broken. The food was also extremely bleh. The pork cutlet bento tasted like it was previously fried and thrown in the microwave. Soggy. The person taking our order seemed new but was nice. She did a good job with what she was given. Oh and when leaving your ears will be ringing from the siren of a door chime. I was going to give a 2 star but it changed to a 1 star because your making my ears ring by just opening the door. read more

This was my first visit to this establishment, and I stopped by during my lunch break. I have to say, the small cup I ordered was packed with a generous amount of flavorful meat. The broth was absolutely savory, and it was exactly what I needed to warm me up on a cold day.For the size of the cup it was definitely a solid portion, and it really filled me up. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and the hearty serving. The service was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The interior is very clean, which I appreciated. One thing to note, though, is that this is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to sit and catch up with friends. The seating area is limited, especially for groups larger than three, and while there are a few outdoor tables, they're not abundant. Despite that, it's still very convenient and perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

I ordered a boba drink and popcorn chicken, to go. I received my order in a timely manner and was impressed that I was given an extra cup for the overflow of my drink. Extra points for that! I don't like seeing food/drink go to waste. The inside was nice and clean, free of clutter. The popcorn chicken I ordered didn't make a good impression on me. It was chewy and had a strong flavor. I do want to try other items in the future. read more

My husband said the beef roll ($10 something) seemed like it was made with sandwich meat and hardly any crunch. Pork dumplings were ok but a lot of money for that $13 something. Minced pork with rice ($10 something) was okay mainly rice. My beef noodle soup ($15 something) was not bad. It had a pretty good portion of meat. Boba milk tea ($5 something) was ok. Tea was good but boba was soggy. My husband said he was not greeted right away. The guy saw him and didn't say anything like we'll be with you shortly. Ambiance was not good, very small lacked an atmosphere. Don't like the fact that my food came in paper. My husband said paying restaurant prices for cafe food. Don't think we'll be back. We are spoiled with experiencing good Taiwanese food elsewhere so this is not up to par. We spent about $65. If you use a credit card they will charge you 3%. read more

This cafe is awesome! First time trying since we had a gift card that was good here. We didn't try the drinks or dessert, which looks amazing, especially the rolled ice cream. We came in when there was a couple waiting, and a group of 3 ahead of us. Small, clean place near the shopping center. We were served within 15 minutes of ordering. The food was so yummy. We tried the salt & pepper popcorn chicken, the fried tofu, the curry rice and the fried pork dumplings. Portions were perfect, the rice was definitely for two people at least. The potatoes and veggies inside the bowl with the curry was so delish. The popcorn chicken was super crunchy and flavorful. The fried tofu was soft but perfectly fried and lightly crisp on the outside. The pork dumplings were hot and did not lack in the meat stuffing. They have a big water jug and cups, along with several seasonings and sauces for self serve. Very impressed with the offerings here, we will def come back to try more. read more

Great Taiwanese food and friendly staff. Food is freshly made each day and their Chili Oil is very good! We had the Beef Roll and it was delicious! Tastes fresh and great to pair with chili oil. The vegetables in it are crisp and fresh. Fried tofu has great flavor too and cooked well and you can never go wrong with the Chicken Popcorn, YUM!!! I'd be sure to be back! Chill spot to be in if you wanted a snack or quick meal without feeling guilty. There's so much in the menu that we still have to try so we'll be back for sure! read more

This is good spot if you crave dumplings during lunch break. Let me start with saying that the customer service is excellent here. We got good advice in regard to our questions about foods listed on the menu. The person behind the counter was super friendly and helpful. We tried steam and fried dumplings mix (chicken and pork), and beef roll sandwich. The food was flavoursome and well seasoned. The beef sandwich was especially tasty and would highly recommend you to try it. The sauce that came with dumplings was very good too. They also offer great variety of different types of soft drinks. Don't miss it! read more

Triple B Cafe - To go deliciousness - Chinese Near Me - Temecula, California

Let me tell ya, I did not think I would be spending $70 for lunch but I did here. Would I do it again? Heck yes! Everything we had was quite good. Let me tell you all about it. It was Wednesday so I ordered the Beef Noodle Soup lunch special. If you have read through all my reviews, you know I've been searching all my life for that perfect bowl of Beef Noodle Soup. Soup:10 Slight heat, deep flavor, could be oilier but close to perfect. Beef Shank: 8 Thick slices of shank, could be more tender still yummy Noodles: 6 Tasted like these boxed Costco noodles, owner agrees Sides: 8 Has mustard greens in small container, wished it was more. It comes with a drink, you get to choose from black tea, green tea, and I think one other type but definitely not Thai tea. We also ordered between the two of us, some pork Chop Rice, A la carte popcorn chicken, matcha ice cream roll, and a couple of traditional items not on the menu to go. Pork Chop Rice -I thought this was okay, I usually like mine a little fattier and with five spice flavor for that traditional touch. I thought this just tasted plain. But what really saved it was the braised meat rice, marinated egg, takuan set that it comes with it. I'd probably get it again. The popcorn chicken tasted terrific but did not have the traditional heat nor was it fried in basil that I usually get. Nevertheless, it tasted like if it was battered in potato starch and has quite a bounce and juiciness to it. The matcha ice cream roll, the flavor was really good. The choice of two toppings we picked were mochi and mango jelly. It was refreshing but I'd probably would pick different toppings next time. Definitely a must in this heat. It takes about 10 minutes to make. The owner offered us some of those wok fried salted peanuts and those street eats (See picture) that has pig ears, seaweed, marinated tofu, sliced shank with a drizzle of cilantro. I mean, these two classic appetizers is something I often eat along with a large bowl of Jook. So guess what I made this morning? Jook to go with all of these sides. I gave my mom the other half, I'm sure she would enjoy this. The owner told me she only makes about 8 of these in a week and offers it to her returning customers. I was lucky to be offered this as a first time customer! We chatted a bit and enjoyed our experience even though we probably could've just hit an AYCE for about the same price. But really, this is what supporting a small biz feels like, and I would totally recommend my fellow Yelpers to come and try this Taiwanese style cafe out. Yes, it's in the same lot as Trader Joes and parking on a weekday was a little tough during the lunch rush but worth the wait. read more

I love Triple B Cafe! I think about this place all the time. They have a lot of food to choose from for such a small cafe. My party of 5 came in to enjoy a delicious spread. We ordered soup dumplings, popcorn chicken and curry bowl, wings, spam fried rice, and coffee rolled ice cream. My favorite thing is their curry rice bowl! We picked the popcorn chicken as the protein and everything was tasty and filling. I don't usually find places with single-serving curry, to-go style, so I was impressed. The spam fried rice is good. The soup dumplings absorbed all the soup so unfortunately wasn't very soupy. Wings were my least favorite; nothing really special about them. Impressed with the lady who took our long order and brought everything hot and fresh out for us - thankful for her patience! Nice rolled ice cream for dessert. Shop isn't big, only about 3 small tables. read more

Stumbled upon this little bistro/restaurant while searching for dumplings but they had a wide variety of food selection to choose from.

Stopped in with my niece for a quick bite on our way to Trader Joe's. I had heard great things about this place and the soup. The inside of the store is very clean, it's small as most cafes are, and also has some outside seating. The service was very good, the two ladies inside were very helpful in our ordering. We ordered the Taiwanese beef noodle and the wonton soup, along with the potsticker plate, and two Thai teas with boba. I am torn in this review, as I really liked the broth for both soups, but felt it was served too hot, like piping hot almost scalding, and there was a lot of oil, which I understand is part of its history. I also think the food should be served on real plates and in real bowls, it makes the dining experience feel worthy of the price. We spent $75 with tip for two people. I don't want to spend that much eating out of paper. Still you should try it for yourself. read more

While visiting family, we stopped by Triple B and the food was pretty good! It opened relatively early which was nice and has boba options as well (though we didn't try any drinks). The lady who I assume was the owner was so sweet and one of the few employees. She made a lot of conversation and was really pleasant to talk to. There's open seating outside and inside the restaurant; you seat yourself so it's very casual here if you're just looking for a snack to order. I absolutely loved the fried tofu. The outside was extremely crispy and the inside was super soft (kind of melts in your mouth if you can imagine that). It's the best fried tofu I've ever had and I frequent a lot of taiwanese shops. As for the XLB dumplings and the beef noodle soup, I thought those were just ok. I wasn't a fan of the noodles in the noodle soup since they weren't QQ, it was more on the mushy side. If you come here, the Fried Tofu is a must! read more

Better than DTF (my other experience of Taiwanese food), in my opinion. Triple B's food has so much flavor. The XLB wrapper is a bit thick but pork chop and beef noodle soup is always amazing. Drinks are also very, very good. read more

Ouch! Thai tea lover here. Not all are the same. I really like that they don't use sugar when they brew it. Now the downside was they use some powdered creamer. I prefer half and half. The taste was just too watery. I didn't enjoy it. However I'm giving 3 stars because the service was really good. The young lady was super friendly and even offered some condensed milk to help with the taste. So shout out to her. Sorry guys but I won't be back. Thanks for the good experience though. read more

Triple B Cafe - Thai tea. It was ok 4/10 - Chinese Near Me - Temecula, California

First time here in their new location by Trader Joe's. Love the colorful decor and the cleanliness. Very appealing. So I ordered one of their top favorite drinks - the peach mango jasmine green tea. I asked it to be less sweet and without boba. Before they made my drink, they had me taste a sample of the drink they were making for me if it's up to my liking esp the sweetness. WOW!!! Talk about customized drinks made to order according to the customers liking!! I am very impressed. I've never been to a boba place that they let me try a sample if I like how they made my drink. You just made me a BIG FAN!! The drink came out PERFECTLY!' Love the amount of sweetness and I can really taste the balance of the green tea and the mango peach flavor. Well done Triple B. To complement my drink I ordered a spicy popcorn chicken and it was delish. Very fresh and well spiced. Other things to note so they have daily specials as well as bento. Definitely coming and to try more of their offering. read more

Another review due to my pure appreciation for this place - today I had another blissful meal of beef stew noodle and XLB, and a first time taste of the mixed cold stewed items dish... LOVE! So thankful for this authentic cafe in Temecula, the only place that can satisfy me locally when my Taiwanese food cravings hit. read more

Tried this place hoping to find a good snack spot and I was not disappointed. I was able to try their panfried dumplings, fried tofu, and popcorn chicken. None of the items were anything but delicious. The tofu was fried to perfection and the crisp and softness ratio was amazing. The sauce the tofu came with was also amazing, The popcorn chicken with a little chili was also great. The seasoning salt on the popcorn chicken was so good and the crispiness was amazing. The pan-fried dumplings were also great. The filling was juicy and flavorful and the wrap was perfectly chewy! read more

On a drive to Vegas I was craving Taiwanese food. I didn't expect to find it anywhere nearby so I was thrilled to find this cafe (thanks fellow Yelpers!) right off the freeway! Josh was so patient with me answering my questions when I called to order. When I picked up my order the owner was very pleasant and told me they've been open a little over two months. I ordered the pork chop bento. I appreciated that the pork chop was sliced into easy to eat strips. My daughter loved it! I enjoyed the Taiwanese Meat Sauce Rice (aka minced pork rice) which had a little peppery kick and came with a marinated egg. The oolong tea was nice - not too weak to too strong, and not too sweet. Wanting to support the nice owner more, I also ordered an Ice Cream Roll for my daughter. Josh took care in making it and delighted my daughter who got to watch it from start to finish including adding the extra wafer roll, pocky sticks and chocolate sauce. So glad we found this place, and we will be back! I hope you all come support this new place. read more

Finding out Triple B moved location, reopened, AND has food now has been the best thing I've found out this year. I really enjoyed this, and was bummed when it closed for a bit. Ever since I found it again, I've been doing every 1-2 weeks. I would go for the wonderful thickness the blended slushes have, but now with the food? LOVE IT!! I try to get a new food every time I go (with the usual popcorn chicken). First though, that popcorn chicken is best in town. Love the balance of spice and crunch it has. Also juicy. You can also get it a lot in a combo with other food! I got it recently with the curry rice as a combo. Good for your money bc they pack A LOT. My bf got the beef noodle soup, and throughly enjoyed it. The soup dumplings have become my new fave to get with the popcorn chicken. Gives me a bit of ding tai fung feels for the dumpling without having to go super far. We also always get a strawberry peach mango slush with milk added for that creamy thickness. It's now in the parking lot where Trader Joe's is. It's a nice area for them bc now they can be seen more!! Enjoy this spot than the old one. More easier to get to. read more

Triple B Cafe - Popcorn chicken // IG: sharfoodies - Chinese Near Me - Temecula, California

This could be trouble for me... I mean a boba shop that also serves snacks like popcorn chicken, braised beef noodle soup, and steamed/baked dumplings?!? They even have rolled ice cream...aaaaaand they are now a few steps from my gym so I'm going to have to discipline myself!! LoL Triple B Cafe used to be located on Ynez near the old KMart, but they recently moved next door to Bushfire Kitchen in the Trader Joe's shopping center on Winchester. The parking lot isn't terrible but during peak times you'll have to drive in circles once or twice. I've had my eye on them for a little while now, always peeping in as I walk right by on my way to Trader Joe's. Today they were actually open so of course my #PhatGirlTendencies sent me right in! I was greeted when I walked through the door, and the employees were cheerful and eager to help me. I checked out the menus for a bit before deciding on the Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. The gentleman who took my order gave me a little sample and said to let him know if it was too sweet or not sweet enough. It was a tad too sweet so they adjusted it accordingly and the ice helped water it down. Pretty darn good if I must say so myself! The Hokkaido milk tea is an extra $.50 and each topping is $.75. They have a good amount of drinks to choose from and their food menu is pretty extensive too. I am going to have to try them all over an extended period of time. They even have veggie curry! I'm gonna try their braised beef noodle soup in the near future...followed by their rolled ice cream for dessert! Yummmm!! This little boba shop is great for a quick drink and/or snacks on the go. There are a few tables inside and outside closer to Bushfire Kitchen. The employees are all very nice and I liked that you can see them making your drinks behind the counter as opposed to closed doors/walls. Prices are average. I recommend this establishment if you're in the area and get a sudden craving for boba! Spread the word and come on down!! On the gram: @triplebcafe_ read more
