Best boba place!!! The drinks are really good and the owner is super nice and friendly. I love going here (:

It is an amazing place to get boba. I love coming here to get boba all the time.they have great menus

This is my favorite boba spot! Every thing is delicious and the servers are friendly!

I've been to boba loca before and im happy to say that I was pleased with the order, however, I've recently been and I was not happy with the order. I ordered a black assam tea with black sugar syrup, tapioca pearls and a salted caramel foam mousse. I was not pleased with what I had as the tea tasted like nothing but a cold tea. That is simply not acceptable to have for boba. It would be better to go to a place where the tea has an acceptable taste and is worth a good price. read more

Customer service is great I love this place and it's always clean! Try the tarp it's more than amazing!!!

As a person who visited while the old management was there wow what a difference the new management are welcoming and so kind , The mother I'm guessing the owner offered me the left overs of my dads strawberry banana boba drink which I thought was a great customer service quality to have ln the food industry business. Only takes an action like that to makes customers want to return . My drink taste amazing as well . Thank you read more

Drinks are good & they have a lot of options ! Workers were nice too. They sell some snacks too now

It's located in a plaza so parking was not a hassle. The customer service was decent. I got a regular sized watermelon slush for about $4 and honestly it was so goood. I'd come back just for that!! It's a great place to just catch up with friends or do homework at. Just make sure you guys have purchased something! read more

My husband and I did a online order he ordered an Oreo milkshake with boba and I ordered a almond milk tea with boba... his Oreo milkshake didn't taste like Oreo.. and mine tasted like perfume.. they were both very watered down and got us both sick. After the new ownership their drinks taste very different.. I do not recommended, we will definitely not come again. read more

Ehh the boba doesn't really have flavor has a few times already and I rather just drive a few more miles out to get good tasting boba ,.

The sweetest new owners. My husband went in tonight to get my favorite pregnancy craving and the owners asked how I was doing. The drinks are super yummy and definitely have improved since the new ownership :) read more

Such sweet staff/owners! Flavors are delicious! Will be our new boba spot in the area.

The boba drinks are good, I feel. The older man and woman (who are probably the owners) are so very rude. I complain about them every time I go, I've never had a good experience there. I continue to go because it's hard to find boba that I like. They'd probably have more business if they tried to be pleasant. For their customer service, I would give them a -5. read more

They say that they have non- dairy / non fat milk made out of corn, but got frustrated/reluctant to help when I asked to check the label. I am vegan. Respect. Their boba is also soaked in brown sugar / HONEY water and they don't have any vegan substitutes for vegans. They won't remake any boba in just brown sugar water ... Never again boba loca. #veganhelp #govegan read more

Amazing 10/10 this is my regular boba store that my daily and I go to all the time. Wide variety of freshly made drinks. And the one lady who works there makes them really fast!! read more

Bobaloca - Regular peach smoothie with boba and a large Iced green tea latte with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I went here bc it's close by my house && EVERY TIME I went... they were "out of boba" literally 3x in a week . And the new owner said they had popping boba but I didn't want that. I think it's hilarious that a boba place has NO BOBA every time I go there. Never again. If I could give no stars I would. read more

This place has decent boba but to wait 30 minutes for 1 drink is ridiculous. Would not recommend coming here unless you have a lot of time to kill read more

Amazing service! New ownership is great and the boba quality here is fantastic. Comes out extremely fast without any detriment to the quality. Definitely gonna be my new regular spot read more

Anytime I'm in Perris I will for sure visit Boba Loca! They've got all your favorite teas, smoothies and fruity drinks! Don't forget to grab some mochi! read more

This place use to be our favorite and only boba place in my area-not anymore. Since the new ownership took over, the drinks have been watered down and not sweetened at all. We've gone there four times and the drinks are still the same..watery if it's blended or smoothie. read more

Just got a regular Mocha Slush with boba, BOMB.COM I don't even like coffee, but this slush makes me LOVE coffee. Awesome tapioca, not too soft and not too hard/cold. read more

This used to be my go to place being that it's close to home, but I definitely don't recommend anymore since being under new ownership. The strawberry milk tea tasted like medicine, it was so bad that it went straight into the trash. I decided to try it again and order something else, ordered 3 drinks.. 20minutes went by and I asked how much longer. They said they actually lost my order and would start working on it. Another ten minutes go by and nothing! I asked them to cancel my order and refund my money. My order was cancelled and according to them "voided," however I had to call my bank and dispute the charge because they never refunded my money. Also, the girls working there are not very friendly and made an excuse of "rush hour" when I was there the whole time and only two people went in after me. read more

I can't believe more people haven't rated this place 5 stars. The have the best boba in the city IMHO. The drinks are delicious and the amount, texture, and flavor of the boba are perfect. It's been a long time favorite of mine and now even my kids are addicted to it ;-) lol. We order different flavors and their all great! The people are nice and service is quick. Love it! read more

Ordered the Red Bean Milk Tea and a Mango Shaved ice. Mango Shaved Ice $4.99 Reg RedBean Milk Tea $3.45 pro: boba is free with the drink and shaved ice. con: not worth the price, the Mango Shaved ice had a lot of ice, not enough mangos and they also added mango syrup in it?? not legit shaved ice. this review is coming from a person that knows good boba drinks and whom comes from SGV. this place is seriously white washed. IMO, Hot Chicks has the best boba drinks in Riverside so far. read more

See all

I consider myself a pretty picky boba drinker lol.. With that said, I have tried this place about 4 times. And every single time have been dissatisfied. It's close to my work so I've really wanted it to be a pleasant experience. I normally favor Boba Tea House in Riverside. Ok here's the thing, the drinks are so-so, nothing special. The boba on the other hand is horrible! I've asked numerous times for extra boba, damn! I'm open to paying for it! But every time they are shiesty with the boba! Not Cool! And one more thing, EVERY Boba joint should carry mini boba! They however, do not. Very disappointing. :( read more

Do not recommend the Thai Tea or the Mango drinks, they both tasted like water. Would recommend this place.

Always get great boba drinks from here. Never had a bad experience. Love the Thai milk tea with boba. My daughter either gets the taro milk tea or the cookies and cream with boba. Super good. read more

Bobaloca - Thai Milk Tea with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Bobaloca has the best boba. Not too soft/mushy or hard in the middle, but perfect and chewy. My favorite drinks are mango slush, Thai tea, tapioca milk tea, Oreo shake, and sometimes a mango shake. The waffles are really good with ice cream. You can either get ice cream or frozen yogurt on top. read more

Been coming for a while. But they have new staff and omg it's great. Just left there and had the best help ever from the girl working. Wish I got her name. Boba drinks are all great. We love the smoothies and the place is so clean. read more

Come here for fresh, delicious, budget friendly boba, I highly recommend this place! I tried it for the first time and was not let down, the only downfall would be the wait but it was worth it! read more

Bobaloca - I ordered the Mango with boba jellys - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I dont recommend here if you want real flavors. These are very plain simplistic and watered down. Very LOW choice and it's been like this for years. Never any new selection for milk teas. If you're new to boba just go here read more

I bought a Thai slushi and it tastes like water. New ownership needs to take care of this. I called them and they said just come back and we will make a new one. I didn't trust they will make it right. Not happy about this. read more

The milk tea was bland. and customer service was super poor. I was entering the building for not even 10 seconds and the owner yelled at me to hurry up so I felt pressured and rushed. So if anyone plans on going here, be sure to know what to order. Never going here again. read more

Taro slush with boba is the absolute BEST in the area!!! The only drink I get and need. The end.

Best Boba place in Riverside and best customer service!!! It also tasted really good. Definitely would recommend this to others!!

The boba/teas here didn't taste right at all to me unfortunately. The flavors were just super off and didnt taste authentic. The Thai tea left a weird taste and feeling in my mouth. The boba was okay. read more

yum yum yum! I am not a fan of boba, but was looking for a smoothie the other day after working out and found this place. Their smoothies are fresh and delicious, and the guy working there was incredibly friendly. Came back the other day to try the fruit waffle which was also incredible! The fruit was very fresh, and the waffle tasted great with frozen yogurt on top. Definitely a new go-to place in my neighborhood! read more

Bobaloca - Fruity waffle!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

This place has one of the worst customer service! I agree with the review below from Chad. We also asked for boba on the side today. I even called first to make sure. I was going to buy at first and the one who answered said I don't have to pay for as long as we buy. When we arrived, the owner said no, they can't sell it to us. Huh? He all of a sudden changed his mind? What kind of customer service is that? Fine....I said not to put the boba in my drink and just put it in a separate container. He said they don't have an extra container and they can't sell me an extra cup. That's it. We're done with them. Our neighborhood is a pretty friendly community. They shouldn't be here. Very horrible customer service. They should be thankful we are supporting their business during this pandemic. We'll never go to that boba place again! read more

Saturday afternoon, Riverside heat wave, dazed + confused because this boba shop was in a really odd location?¿ FOOD: My cousin + I ordered a fruity waffle along with our red bean milk tea with boba and in short, we were thoroughly satisfied! We shared the waffle ** Milk Tea: The red bean was shaken up, did not have any whole red beans in the drink (which is what I'm used to but it's fine), and it was perfectly sweetened. I've had a handful of bad experiences with my red bean milk teas being on the sweet side but this place happened to make the perfect adjustments. All the other reviews for this shop mentioning their boba/pearls are spot on: you should get them! They come with the drink with no additional charge if you just ask, and they're soft yet chewy. They were a tiny bit smaller than other pearls I've had but I think that's what makes it more enjoyable! Waffle: It came with vanilla ice cream (you can get froyo if you want!), kiwi, bananas, strawberries, chocolate syrup, and sliced almonds. The waffle itself was dense but not to the point where it was gross and not crispy. I would get it again if I was in the area, and the price ($5.99) was alright considering how much was topped on. I had to share this with my cousin and we were both trying to get each other to eat the last bites.** AMBIENCE: Pretty quiet yet spacious location. We beat the rush and the drinks took awhile to come out but we later realized it was because they wanted to give us our waffle at the same time. TLDR: Wouldn't be my first choice, but wouldn't be my last. Their boba/pearls are spot on so make sure you get them with your drink (for those of you concerned of your health/carb intake: they don't give you an overwhelming amount in your drink)! read more
