    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.

    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.

    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.

    Taro Milk Tea

    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.

    I've always loved boba loca. Since the new management I've been coming more and my drinks seem to taste better everytime. I feel especially lucky when the owners (husband and wife) are working and take my order because they always seem to make them perfectly sweet, perfect consistency, and just the right amount of boba and not the syrup that comes with it. They are as sweet as can be and definitely make me want to keep coming back to support the business.

    Second visit to Juju Bar and I'm officially hooked…read more Went with the Classic Açaí Bowl and the Tiki Bowl -- both generously sized, beautifully layered, and incredibly fresh. The fruit was vibrant, the açaí perfectly balanced (not overly sweet), and every bite felt clean and refreshing -- exactly what you want after a Sunday morning 8-mile walk. Service was friendly and efficient, and the wait was minimal. If I lived closer, this would easily be part of my weekly routine.

The atmosphere is calm and open, which makes it a great spot whether you're stopping in quickly or hanging out for a bit. What really stands out is the huge variety of juices they offer. There are so many different options that it's actually hard to choose just one. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and you can tell they're using quality ingredients. It's also nice being able to see the juices being made right in front of you, it adds to the whole experience and makes you feel confident about what you're drinking. Overall, Juju Bar does a great job all across the board. Great juice selection, fresh ingredients, and a clean, welcoming environment. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever I'm craving a good fresh juice.

I ordered online and wow, so much has changed. First, I love the online ordering system - they even have a kiosk inside, at least at this location. I was noticed that there's an upcharge for grilled onions on your burger. No biggie, just something I noticed. This location is big, roomy and seemingly pretty busy. All I ordered was the Boca burger and chili cheese fries. The online system said that it was ready immediately, which I knew was off. When I got there, there was a bit of a wait, but not too long - again, it's a pretty busy area. When I received my food, well, they were outta forks so I was given a spoon for my chili cheese fries. That was not gonna work, but what could you do? Hope they start stocking more forks than spoons or at least sporks. This location also has outdoor seating, I mean plenty, which is a nice change. It's an overall, nice roomy location, just kinda busy.

Although this isn't my favored location, I was happy to see the banana milkshake made a comeback. Did a first time mobile order for lunch and set the time for pick up 20 minutes out. When we got there a couple minutes before pick up time, I was confused when we were told no order was received, we probably have the wrong location, they don't know how door dash works, etc. but, I ordered directly through your mobile app. They actually don't receive the order until the scheduled pick up time so we ended up waiting another 10 minutes for our food which defeats the purpose of scheduling a pick up time. The nachos were a mess, the chips were overly salty on the verge of inedible, they messed up our milkshake orders and switched the whipped cream around and the banana milkshake was not banana-ing for me. All in all, a terrible first mobile order experience and would definitely avoid this location from now on.
