About Boba Cafe
Boba Cafe is a bubble tea shop in Riverside, California. It is listed at 1223 University Ave, Riverside, CA 92507, which places it among the local businesses of Riverside that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
Tea in the United States covers everything from a traditional Chinese or Japanese tea house to a Southern sweet-tea counter, and the fastest-growing segment is bubble tea: Taiwanese-style milk teas and fruit teas with tapioca pearls, sold by chains and independents alike with adjustable sugar and ice levels. Tea rooms serving afternoon tea with scones and sandwiches usually require a reservation, while boba shops, juice bars and smoothie shops are walk-in and quick. Kava and kombucha bars are a newer category, and loose-leaf tea stores sell blends, teaware and gifts, often with a tasting counter. Prices for a drink run similar to coffee-shop prices, with premium teas and cold-pressed juices at the high end.
The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 amβ11 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm.

This is my go-to at least once a week. The food is always cooked fresh, great flavor to everything, and a huge variety of food on their menu. The staff is very friendly and it's usually pretty mellow inside, with plenty of seating.

(3/17/25) I ordered chicken fried rice. It tasted funny. I cut up a few pieces of chicken to find it to be pink, raw looking texture, and overall had undercooked taste. My stomach feels terrible right now. I called them and they offered me a free one next time, not sure if I want that offer after this. order at ur own risk !

Delicious food EVERY time. Definitely recommend any variation of the knife cut noodles, the mapo tofu and the the snow veggie pork dishes. Also the passion fruit tea is to die for. If I lived closer Iβd be here every day.
