    Melon slush
    Sienna B.

    Hey Bobaloca! Why is your employee working in the heat, with no AC running?! Cheap. Go figure since the powder used for your drinks is so low grade! Why is Midori melon slush NEON GREEN?! I feel like I should stop by a power plant to let them know some chemicals ended up at your store! Tastes horrible. So artificial! For over $6 I expect higher quality. New management needs new management. I wish I could give 0 stars! No lie. Your employee was great and super friendly. It's MANAGEMENT THAT NEEDS A REALITY CHECK OK!? I'd say close up shop but that kid needs a job. Don't apologize. Do better. Come on, boba drinks aren't that hard. Put in the effort or sell it to someone that cares.

    Gave it to me with no ice. Who wants hot milk tea?? Tasted terrible.

    This place was terrible 10 years ago and it's still terrible today. I went to the high school down the street and my friends and I used to come here after school until I discovered the amazing boba shops in downtown. I avoided this place because I knew it was terrible but I saw the "New Management" sign so I thought after 10 years some things had to have changed. NOPE. The quality of drinks here are still horrible. I ordered a Taro Milk Tea no boba, I noticed they still use the same powder to make it so I instantly didn't have high hopes but some how this tasted worse than it did a decade ago. It literally tasted like just taro powder and milk, no sweetener. I went back inside to ask the girls working there if the drink was supposed to be sweetened. She said yes and I explained to her mine does not taste sweet at all and I would appreciate it if they could remake it. The second one did taste a tiny bit sweet but this time they gave me a drink with no ice. I NEVER ASKED FOR NO ICE. It was 100° outside and all I wanted was a refreshing taro milk tea but instead I got some lukewarm watered down crap. I couldn't even finish the drink after two sips, I just poured it down the drain and cut my losses. There is no reason to even put up a "new management" sign if the quality is still going to be 0 stars. On top of which they don't offer any other toppings other than boba. Every other boba shop I've been to has a variety of boba, jellies, and pudding. Avoid this place at all costs. You'll just be disappointed. Every boba place in downtown Riverside is 100 times better than this place and well worth the drive.

    The inside is cute and has a nice ambiance. Has good service fast and efficient. I got the Jasmine Green Tea Iced which was good and refreshing but I wish they had cheese foam on the menu. I also got the Caramelized Brown Sugar Milk Tea Caramelized Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba this was okay the flavor was there at first but quickly just became one flavor only and the boba was definitely not fresh.

    Best taro ever !! I come here all of the time. The girls are always so sweet and helpful plus they always have good music on, definitely worth stopping by!!

    Bobaloca continues to be an amazing local boba shop. I'd even go as far to say that it's now even better under new ownership. They have done a great job remodeling the interior and treating their customers with attentiveness and kindness. Their drinks are very affordable too! Very excited to continue recommending them to family and friends. Their ample indoor seating options means more boba dates!

    Honeydew milk tea

    Ordered a honeydew milk tea and a chai tea coffee. It taste like watered down milk. And I got about 5 pieces of ice so my milk tea was warm.

    Lunas Sunday Cafe Moreno Valley…read more Date went 6/19/26 Ordered 3 drinks Ordered at around 3:42pm and got our drinks at around 5:50pm so about an 8 minute wait time for 3 drinks. I think this is really good considering how busy they were Location it's near Cinnabon and Chuze fitness, so it was on the opposite side of the mall from where we entered (Macys). DRINK ORDERED: Banana Pudding Matcha I'm only going to be rating the drink I personally had. RATING: 7/10; I never thought banana pudding and matcha would be a flavor combo I'd drink together, but it was overall decent. I wish they would have put a small layer of banana pudding at the bottom of the cup and then the layer at the top. I was only able to taste the banana pudding until I was almost done with my drink. It's not something I'd drink again personally, but it could be others cup of tea! My other two parties got a Coconut Matcha and Luna Latte and they both gave it a 10/10. So, maybe I just didn't get one of the better drinks on the menu. Overall, my aunt and grandma stated that they would definitely come here again. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of my drink, but that's just me

I watched 3 employees look my way, talk about my order that was sitting there and just kept looking confused as to what needed to be done. I think there was one young lady making drinks that looked like she wanted them to snap out of their confusion and start helping. The employee who took my payment was friendly. This was my first visit so I was excited to try their cupcakes. I was surprised that they do not list cupcakes ANYWHERE on their menu. That's odd to have Cupcakes as your company name but not advertise them. I ended up asking if they sold them. I ordered the chocolate cupcake & banana cream pie cupcake along with an almond croissant. When I opened them at home it was very obvious that these were at least 2 days old. Still I thought the flavor could be amazing so I had not lost hope yet. Unfortunately, the chocolate cupcake was awful from the frosting to the cake. The cake was horribly dry. The frosting was melting from sitting for days. The banana cupcake was decent but the taste of the frosting was off. The cherry on top was was dried out. It probably is a good cupcake, just not days old. The almond croissant is known for being next day use but this was also days old. It had a rancid smell and it was too dry. They should have pulled the old product and should not have sold them. Better to say you're out of stock than sell a bad product. I threw the cupcakes away so I only have a photo of the almond croissant. I decided to write this review after the 3rd item was inedible too. $15 thrown in the trash. This was a very disappointing experience and I will never give them my business again. Others may have a great experience and should give them a chance, but for me it was too many negatives to go back.

The sandwich, served on a rye swirl loaf, was delicious...the pastrami, spicy brown mustard, and Swiss cheese were perfectly balanced, though it was toasted a bit too long for my preference, resulting in a crunchy rather than soft texture. I skipped the cupcake this time to balance out the sweet latte. Service was fast, friendly, and efficient, and there is indoor seating available. Overall, a great experience; I'll definitely be back to try more treats.

If there's a dine-in cutoff time, it would be helpful to communicate that clearly so customers know before even coming into the restaurant. The poke itself tasted average. My biggest disappointment was the protein portion, which was much smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, the staff was kind and the restaurant was clean, but the dine-in policy and portion size left me feeling underwhelmed. Everything in me desires to leave a two star yet I'd say 3 is fair because of the service. Bianca for the win.
