Hoji has been my go to matcha and tea spot ever since I discovered it near UCR. It's surprisingly…read morehard to find a great matcha spot in the IE, but Hoji is definitely a hidden gem. I've tried their matcha latte multiple times and it's honestly comparable to some of the famous matcha spots in OC and LA. The matcha is smooth with a medium bodied mouthfeel, a velvety texture, and just the right amount of sweetness. Their thai tea is also excellent but my favorite drink has to be the hojicha black sesame with boba. The hojicha has an amazing roasted aroma while the black sesame salted cream adds a rich, nutty, and savory depth that makes the drink incredibly addictive. The handmade boba is the real highlight. It's soft yet chewy at the same time, it's just the perfect texture. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I appreciate that they offer a stamp card for returning customers. The shop itself is on the smaller side, but the retro vibe, cute art wall, and full length mirror make it a fun place to hang out and snap a few pictures. This has become a staple in my drink rotation and I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

A craving for boba, means a need for a boba adventure! We stumbled upon Hoji after browsing for…read moregood boba on our way home. Hoji shared the same parking lot with a coffee shop we're familiar with! On a Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of parking. When you walk up to the store, there isn't a sign on the outside. Before walking in, there's also a posted sign that says only 10 people at a time. We counted about 6 people, and proceeded to walk in. The decor is timeless and vintage. Super cool to look at and enjoy. We turned around and there was the cashier. It definitely is a small as can be. We took a bit of time looking at the menu and then deciding our drinks. We were a bit indecisive, but settled on their Rose Salted Cream and their Hojicha Black Sesame. The cashier was a bit interesting and didn't bother to help us or explain anything. He had us repeat our order a few times out of inattentiveness. It wasn't loud in there, but he definitely wasn't listening. Immediately after our order, he goes on his phone. Another worker had finished making a drink for a customer, and had to nudge the cashier to let him know the drink was ready. Even then, he wasn't on alert about it and made a face at the customer who stood up to grab the drink. Our drinks came out fairly quickly. We took our photos and left to sit in the car. It was quite small and stuffy in there. Our drinks were delightful! You can definitely taste the hojicha. The black sesame didn't overpower the drink, as for the rose salted cream, it was flowery enough. The boba itself was definitely handmade and perfectly chewy. I can understand why this store's drinks are a favorite. I deducted a star because of the service and attitude. We walked out the door saying goodbye, and even then, they didn't seem to care. The customer service here is lacking, but at least the drinks are decent. I might wait to see if any changes are made to their workers before coming back to try again.

As I started walking up, I…read morerealized that today was Monday and I saw the display board outside advertising the $1.50 Monday Special on 12/1/25, which is a Mango Green Tea. At that price, it is almost too hard to pass up. The store was busy, but they are so quick and efficient in making drinks that there isn't much of a wait. The store was decorated with Christmas spirit and a 7 foot Christmas tree. I was assisted by both Evan and Vicky who were very friendly. My 4-year old watched Evan intently as he took care in making his Vanilla Oreo Shake. Thankfully my son was feeling generous and shared his shake, that was generously topped with Oreo cookies and whipped cream. Definitely recommend coming here and I know I'll be back soon to complete my stamp card for a free drink!

Sharetea is such a cute little boba spot tucked into one of the busy Redlands shopping centers…read more It's a great place to stop when you're craving something cold and refreshing--especially on a hot day. When you walk in, the ordering setup is pretty modern. There are two giant touchscreens where most people place their orders, and there's also a handwritten note letting you know that pearls = boba . It looks like you can order at the counter as well, but there was a sign noting that the counter is cash only, so most people seem to use the kiosks. There's a decent amount of seating with both indoor tables and a few outdoor spots if you want to hang out for a bit. Our go-to here is the peach iced tea, which is super refreshing. My husband usually orders his with honey jelly, and I love the peach green tea with mango popping boba--it's delicious. If the place is busy, there can be a little bit of a wait, but the line moves pretty quickly and drinks usually come out fast.

The Christmas decor was cute and they have lots of seating and board games to kill time. It's in a business plaza that's not too busy since the donut shop was already out of donuts and closed at the time. Parking should not be a problem. My friend got their horchata milk tea I believe and it just tasted like a standard horchata, not much of a tea taste to it. Not bad, but even with the 75% sweetness adjustment, it was pretty sweet. More so than most regular horchata. Seeing that most of the menu were standard items that can be get at any boba place, I opted to try something off of their seasonal holiday menu. I ended up getting the Peppermint Cheesecake Hot Chocolate with no whipped cream. Once again pretty sweet, but not as much as my friend's drink. I couldn't taste any hint of the cheesecake and it just tasted like a regular peppermint hot chocolate. Overall just okay, not a place I'd make a trip all the way out here for, but if your options are limited, boba's still boba!

This Sunright is my weekly pick me up. Through sick days and bad weeks or weather, I can always count on my strawberry yakult drink. I love the fruit drinks here but when I'm feeling like something extra sweet, I sometimes get the frosties or the matchas. The addition of aloe to the topping menu made my boba days 130384x better. Even though we regularly frequented a Sunright location back home, this location actually feels like a local establishment. They know my partner's name and chat with him (when it isn't too busy) and have helped him through several online ordering issues. He's gotten to know way more of the bobaristas here than back home. The inside is a standard Sunright. This chain is very much grab n go style, often in quite small business locations. They decorate sometimes for the collab events, it's cute! Even though it's small it luckily gets to participate in most of the Sunright collabs (except that one bread collab).
