After really liking the Krak Boba located in Westminster, my husband and I were eager to try another of their locations. As expected, this Riverside location impressed us as well. The drinks were delicious and served in nice, sturdy cups. Matcha Storm: A dessert-style matcha slush blended with creme brulee, this drink is a cup of creamy richness. It was blended perfectly to have a smooth, but slightly granular texture without any chunkiness. Moon Princess: From the secret menu, this is a peach green tea with chewy crystal boba. I really enjoyed every element of this drink. It was surprisingly creamy and had just the right amount of sweetness. Online ordering can be done through the app - super convenient and easy.

Krak Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I had tried Krak Boba in Westminster so my wife and I had to check this one out in Riverside since we were in the area. First things first is that this location is quite spacious, although it's a smaller store, I find that the store made the store very spacious with what they got. There's plenty of tables around and we saw a few hanging about and some on their devices. We had order online so there was no wait at all. I highly recommend downloading their app as they have promotions very often. My go to drink at Krak Boba is forever the Matcha Storm (Slush) and my wife wanted to try the Moon Princess drink. As the Matcha Storm is always a wonderful choice, they're always very consistent with the drink. Super refreshing no matter the situation and this time was no different. It's one of their most popular drinks and for good reason. My wife's drink, the Moon Princess was in my opinion, even better than the Matcha Storm. I don't know how to really describe it, but it was a taste that I had rarely seen. It was super refreshing, a mix of floral and oolong, it was just the perfect drink. Certainly a good recommendation for such a unique name for a drink. Overall, 10/10 Krak Boba locations, they have other locations and they're all wonderful. Love the consistency. read more

The boba tea was very refreshing and tasty. I ordered the brown sugar milk tea and enjoyed every sip of it. Love this place

Located on Chicago and University Avenues in the Town Square shopping center with plenty of parking. I stopped here for an energy boost so I immediately eyed their 'Coffee' menu. I ordered their 'Matcha Coffee' and I added Boba, which is served over ice. It was exactly what I needed! The drink had somewhat of a heavy texture and was so refreshing. Their menu consists of 'Milk Teas, Smoothies, Fruit Teas, Coffee flavors', and a variety of topping selections like Boba, Coffee Jelly, Pudding, etc. Prices are very reasonable. Service was fast and efficient. Shout out to 'Leann' who was friendly and helpful with the menu. There are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your treat. I had a great experience here and will definitely return to try other flavors. read more

After having a light dinner at Pho Ha #7 in Riverside, I needed to find a boba shop to pick up some boba drinks for my daughters. My friend was with me and we both were searching for nearby boba places. The ones we found were all within 10 to 15 minutes from where we were at. It wasn't until my friend came to the rescue and located Krak Boba that was literally 2 mins driving distance away just on the other side of the block. Thanks my friend! So here we are at Krak Boba located in Town Square of Riverside. It's a cute and bright shop. Good amount of seating. There is one all gender restroom for use which is always nice to have especially at a drink place. You never know when you need to go after drinking a full cup of liquids. We barely made it as it was about 10 minutes before closing time. Good selections drinks available. I usually don't get too experimental with my boba drinks. My daughters and I have our go-tos. Brown sugar milk tea with crystal boba for my youngest. Peach jasmine green tea with lychee jelly for my eldest. I decided to try something different and went with one of their newest creation CocoThai Butterfly. Of course, we got our drinks with 100% sweetness and no ice (I don't like watery drinks, but sometimes a little ice is okay). My motto... make it the way you designed it. The drinks were filled up to the top even with no ice which I prefer. Thanks Krak Boba for not taking 2 inches off our drinks just because we asked for no ice. I know some boba places do that or they charge an extra $1.00 or so for no ice... really folks??? My daughters liked their drinks very much. As for me, I didn't realize until I got home that my CocoThai Butterfly did not look anything like the photo. It didn't have the blue and white layers. All it had was the usual Thai orange color all throughout the drink. I'm going to have to inquire about that the next time I'm at Krak Boba. Nevertheless, my drink was still delightful. It tasted slightly different compared to the usual Thai drink, but a good different. I don't think I got the coco flavor though. I definitely need to get the CocoThai Butterfly again to experience it for real. Overall experience was a good quick one. Staff was pleasant. Drinks came out fairly quickly and was delivered to us at the table. Thanks for the great service! Of course, it was closing time so we had to go. I would come back here again should I be in the area in the future. read more

A little disappointed in my taro twist drink. I came in on a Sunday and it was not busy at all. Worker was nice. Didn't seem too knowledgeable about cup sizing, but wasn't rude about it. I ordered 3 drinks, 2 of them being taro twist & they did not taste the way it is supposed to. Wayyyyyyy too much milk & hardly an ice.. Yes, I shook it. This is the first location I've ever had a problem with. read more

It was really good! First time there. I enjoyed the service and the ambience too. I would definitely go back.

Boba and drinks are mid at best compared to your typical boba place. But, if you download the app you get a BOGO free which is totally worth it! read more

Parking: Decent amount available! Ambience: Fairly spacious with a good amount of seating available. Decorated with lots of neon signs / screens and plants. Service: Standard, no complaints! Taste: Got the strawberry matcha latte, which I expected to taste artificial given the bright colors, but it was actually good :) Fairly sweet but not too much, and the boba consistency and drink flavors were all great! read more

Krak Boba - The menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Krak Boba is a good chain that is expanding in many SOCAL cities. My previous experience was in Rancho Cucamonga, followed by one on 17th in Santa Ana. Both of those locations turned out excellent drinks with great attention to detail and made us fans of the brand. This particular store in Riverside is in an area that's a bit dicey, a dirty, often crime-ridden zone with lots of homelessness, so lock the doors. Inside the store, the appearance is not much different if you're acquainted with the brand. Similar decor, selfie areas, and illustrated menus. The staff were friendly and helpful, 5 stars for that. Unfortunately, the outcomes were shy of the mark for different reasons. Hers was supposed to be fizzy, but the lack of ice to cool down the ingredients simply wasn't there. Mine had a similar issue with the fruit being warm from the blender, perhaps? Either way, we were both a little disappointed. She'd order differently in the future, but I had selected something familiar, so hopefully, next time, it'll come out better? Anyhow, we're glad to have a store closer than 15+ miles away. read more

I really liked the Dragonslayer. It was really good! Great service too! My friend tried a Mango drink and she loved it as well.

All me and my boyfriend get are strawberry matcha lattes so we wanted to try Krak's. They do overload on the strawberry though so I wish the matcha taste was stronger, but I'll just ask for less strawberry next time so it's pretty good overall. Plus our drinks were ready in less than 3 minutes and it's cute in there. read more

Krak Boba - Strawberry Matcha Latte (Large)strawberry - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Love my Birthday discount. The Sunset Passion and Cookies n Creme are really great. Thank you.

I came here once...a very long, long time ago, lol. Thanks to a Yelpie friend, I satisfied my boba craving while in the area. At the time it was fairly new, but they had it together. I didn't wait long for my order and was out and about in no time! The parking lot right outside, although large and shared by other businesses, was pretty packed. The spaces seemed a bit narrow, too. Be patient if you go on a busy day! Pricing is average, about the norm like everywhere else. If I was in the area again, I'd hit it up. They have weekly specials too. Idk if they still give out those cute little decals, but I scored some during my visit. See you again one day, Krak Boba!! =) read more

Krak boba is definitely at the top of my list of favorite boba spots in Riverside! Some of my favorite drinks if you're craving something - blended: dragon slayer, strawberry snow - milky: king brulee, strawberry yogurt, thai tea I just tried their strawberry yogurt drink and it was literally so good. I finished it way too fast. Their service is also great, the drinks always come out super fast! read more

I came here hoping to get some popcorn chicken and a drink. To my surprise, they no longer sell food, so I was bummed about that. I started to not get anything, but I still ordered a drink. It was really good. I'm pretty sure I took in 50+ grams of sugar, with that drink. But I was satisfied, so it was fine! read more

Wanted to try this chain out since I don't think there's one close to me in the 626. The aesthetics are nice and there's a point system via 5 Stars if you punch in your phone number. Pretty efficient service too . I got the: 1) Moon Princess: -It's a white peach green tea with sweet cream. -I opted for no pink crystal boba that generally comes with the drink. -It's not listed but the drink also comes with diced peach chunks. -Unfortunately, I really did not like my drink. It tasted like a bland slightly watery tea with a hint of peach. The peach chunks were super sour too. -It might have been a mistake not getting the boba, since that might be what adds flavor to this drink. 2) Seaside Green Thai Tea: -It's a standard Thai Green Tea with some sea salt cream. -Nice and tasty, nothing super stand out. Aside from no toppings, we made no other adjustment to our drinks. I don't mind giving them a try one more time since this might have been a miss based on the drinks I got. read more

I was craving boba the morning after going to an event at the NOS center. I had high hopes seeing the reviews for this place. I have a huge sweet tooth, but the Kraken Signature Milk Tea was way too sweet and did not have enough tea flavor. I should probably should have gotten the lowest sweetness level - so blame myself for the sweetness. However, the lack of tea flavor is difficult to overcome. I probably won't be coming back. My partner got the taro, and we also agreed that it was too sweet without enough taro flavor. read more

Decided to try a new boba place and this one was not bad, just a bit pricey. It was over $6 a drink! We got the Moon Princess tea and cookies & cream smoothie. The Moon Princess was interesting since I've never tried pink crystal boba before but it just tastes like regular crystal boba. The cookies & cream smoothie is pretty sweet and literally takes like a chocolate shake with lots of chocolate syrup. Also, when we first entered this place, it had a strange smell and the floor was pretty dirty like as if it hasn't been mopped in a while. However, we got out drink relatively quick since there wasn't that much people so we didn't have to deal with the smell too long. But on the plus side, there's a lot of parking since this is in a plaza. Overall, this place is not bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to get it since it's one of the more pricier place around the area. read more

Best boba spot in the area. I love their brown sugar milk tea with boba, brown sugar milk with boba, king brûlée with boba, and dragon slayer (reminds me of RuneScape lol) drinks. You can choose different sugar amounts and request for non dairy milk (soy etc.) Service is always spot on and the drinks are fresh. PROS: cool hang out spot, freshly made drinks, have a rewards program, Apple Pay, and offers delivery via GrubHub CONS: N/A read more

Krak Boba - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

My first and probably only boba review in the Riverside area. Being my first time exploring IE, I looked at multiple boba shops on Yelp and ended up choosing this one. Turns out it's a chain that's also in LA lol I ordered a Dragon Slayer, and the presentation was nothing like the images. I was kinda sad cause it looked so much better on the menu, but my drink was super sad to look at. I had to mix everything manually for the flavors to mix/look better. Aside from looks, it tasted really good with the perfect sweetness without adjustment. The smoothie was also really smooth without chunks. However the mangoes were sour as I'm pretty sure they were frozen. The dragon fruit juice is mainly for color imo, as I didn't taste as much of it. I also ordered no boba, but the worked put boba anyways, so I'll leave a boba review. The boba was really good, with it being packed with sweetness and flavor. It was also chewy with a nice consistency! Even though I didn't ask for boba in my order, the boba pearls are overall pretty good and I would recommend them. read more

Give Krak Boba a try, you won't be disappointed. I love just their regular milk tea with boba and more recently started trying different kinds. The brown sugar milk tea is fire! Honestly their boba is on point. Last night I tried the Cookies and Crème with boba and it was just as great! The service is always quick, and friendly. The inside is very cute and cozy, a couple of tables. We'll be back for sure! read more

Krak Boba - Cookies & Crme (Large) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Standard boba shop. Apparently this chain has quite the following but definitely fits the college campus vibe. Looks like a good place to hangout. Drinks are not bad but kinda bland, at least what I got. The signature milk tea was ok at half sweet but the pearls didn't add any flavor and was a little overcooked fat I went. Maybe the fruity drinks are better? read more

I really like Krak Boba, but my drink this time just didn't taste as appetizing. The toppings on the bottom were really warm, which was a bit odd to me. In addition, I asked for no boba, but it was still added. The area was nice and a bit spacious, but the drink ruined the experience for me. For the price I was paying, I would hope for something a bit tastier. read more

Krak Boba - super disappointed bc i only received matcha and it was supposed to have caramel and foam and i was still charged for everything ): - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

NOTE: This is THE go-to Boba spot for me and my friends! We always try to get new things and try a new drink every time, so I will be updating this review each time we go :) With so many good boba spots around campus, it's always hard deciding where to go. More often than not, we find ourselves coming back to Krak, and for good reason. The service is fast, the place is usually always clean, and the staff are always friendly and accommodating! It also helps that they serve some of the best boba in Riverside! There are so many good drinks here that it would be impossible to recommend just one or two. With that being said, here are some of our favorites: King Brûlée (11/10): This is my personal favorite drink at Krak! It has just the right level of sweetness, texture, and different flavors blended together. To be fair, I really enjoy sweeter drinks, but if you don't like your drinks super sweet you can always order reduced sweetness! You can also order a blended version called the Queen Brûlée which is equally as good! Strawberry Snow (9/10): This one is super creamy and sweet...and it has A LOT of strawberry flavor. If you're a fan of strawberries it's a must-try! Gurellia Thai (9/10): There are a lot of different flavors packed here, but they all work surprisingly well! The matcha is amazing and the cheese cream really adds a nice twist and rounds everything off nicely. Strawberry and lychee yogurt (10/10): For a while, these two were my go-to orders at krak, and it's for a good reason: they're both absolutely delicious. They both are a little sweet (even for me!), so I would actually recommend asking for reduced sweetness here. They come default with popping boba, but if you're more of a fan of traditional boba you can switch it out! read more

My experiences at the actual store have been great. However, I work nearby this location and we often get boba delivered. I always order the same thing - a jasmine tea with sea cream and boba. It's been 2-3 times now where I order this via delivery and it has NEVER actually arrived with sea cream. It is always forgotten. I'm starting to wonder if there's a no sea cream to go policy or if someone is out to get me and my love for sea cream. read more

I guess I'm just not a fan? My friend came to visit and she wanted to check out this boba shop given she had heard good reviews. I ordered the Lychee Black tea and the Krak milk tea. The lychee tea was okay and it had chunks of lychee in there which was a nice additional but there were lychee shells in there too. It was a little gross to have to spit out a small shell every few sips. The milk tea tasted mediocre and reminded me of Quickly Boba. Customer service was great though! read more
