Neko Cafe - Popcorn Chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Good food good teas, they have the best popcorn chicken. their passion fruit tea is good and their thai tea is good too.

Cute concept~~ I'm a sucker for cat-themed decor. They coulda gone all out IMO! Pretty tame. Boba isn't bad tho. Located in a strip mall next to KFC. The staff are sweet & friendly. LYCHEE CHEESE FOAM (w/boba, 75% sweet and less ice): Very much on the sweeter side. Would recommend reducing sugar. That being said, I really liked it! Juicy, bright lychee + silky cheese foam-- perfect after a hot day. Boba was cooked well. My bf thought his mango tea was ok, mango pieces were a bit underripe and lychee jelly still had hella syrup stuck on it. But the tea itself was aromatic & refreshing. read more

I recommend the matcha! The cheese foam is also a nice addition. The cafe itself is very cute and well kept. Didn't converse with the employees as they had a self order kiosk, but the service was fast and they seemed kind! Will be returning to try more drinks and the food read more

Located in the same area as KFC and FedEx. Just look for KFC and you won't miss Neko Cafe! Place is very clean and has very cute cat decorations on the wall. There's enough indoor seating to enjoy a meal. And the service was great. I got the Pork Katsu Curry Rice and Strawberry Cheese Foam. The curry rice portion was huge and was very tasty, and the drink was great in this hot weather! read more

i've been here a few times and i love coming in for their fruit teas! as well as their squid rings and i recently their pork

The owner is lovely, the shop is nice, they offer a stamp card and 15% off your first purchase. The drinks aren't filled to the brim with ice, they're not overly sweet, and they don't taste artificial. I think they serve real tea here. This is the first boba shop where I don't have any stomach discomfort, and I've tried a few drinks now. They're a tad sweet with the perfect amount of ice. I've had the thai, lychee and guava teas. My thai tea cravings are always satisfied here and I never leave with stomach cramps -- which is a first for me. Same with my mom, who's even more sensitive, and she really enjoys the teas I bring her. Neko will now be the only place I visit when I want boba tea. read more

The food here was so good! We got the popcorn chicken and takoyaki, and both were absolutely delicious -- crispy, flavorful, and fresh. The strawberry and matcha cheese foam drinks were smooth and super tasty, really refreshing. The place itself is quiet and cute. Definitely a hidden gem, we're 100% coming back! read more

Came here with a friend. We kiosk ordered and got our items really fast. The place was a pretty empty at 6pm but it's well kept and had a nice seating area. I got an avocado frostie with medium spice popcorn chicken and my friend got the lemon tea. The avocado frostie was one of the best I've had in Riverside not too sweet and very smooth 10/10 and the popcorn chicken was fresh and came with fried basil 8/10. read more

I came here for a quick bite and boba drink with my daughter. We absolutely loved this cafe and so happy we came. It's located in a busy area and parking might be a bit difficult, but it is well worth it. Their prices are very fare, the service is phenomenal, and the food was delicious. I recommend ordering ahead of time online, and you can also get 15% off with a Yelp check-in. I love that they have a variety of drinks with unique features live cheese foam. We tried the popcorn chicken with curry rice. They gave great portion size, and the food was full of flavor. There is a food amount of seating with upbeat music if you decide to dine in. This is a cafe that will not disappoint and have you excited to come back. Love this place. read more

This is a hit or miss. A small mom and pop boba shop. Very clean and very quick service. It's in a very busy and small parking lot with limited parking. The drinks are hit or miss. Sometimes they are amazing and other times the boba is hard and they taste like milk with no flavorings. read more

Pork cutlet and Taiwanese sausage Curry are so good !!! Food is hot and delicious. I also recommend the strawberry yogurt frostie

We ordered popcorn chicken, Taiwanese sausage, squid ring, and tofu. They were all amazing, portion are huge, and the boba and drinks are great too!!! Highly recommended love it soooo much!!! read more

Our new favorite little boba spot. Boba is consistently good (yeah, there's variations in boba!), lightly sweet and perfectly chewy. We've tried multiple frosties and I always enjoy a Classic Milk Tea. Today, had their Popcorn Chicken Curry Rice and it did not dissappoint. The Mild still had a little kick but it added to the rich flavor of the savory curry. Shared the dish with my mom and it was plenty for a light lunch. You'll definitely feel full if you're dining solo. Ive ordered inside as well as online (save a little money by ordering inside, if you can) but service is decently quick considering its just the owner and cooks. Already been about 10 times in just a couple months that Ive been coming here and I'll be coming back again and again. read more

Neko Cafe - Avocado Frostie and a Taro Frostie, perfect on this HOT day :) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

went last year and had a great experience. they were fairly new so i wasn't expecting much but they outdid themselves. the customer service was amazing 10/10 i had said it was my first time so the nice lady guided me to order with their kiosk. she also answered any questions i had. when i had paid she quickly informed me some of the stuff i ordered was out so asked if i wanted any other toppings/a different drink at no cost. it was really nice of her considering she was the only one at the front. and i didn't notice until after but there are also qr codes to scan at the tables to make ordering even easier! they thought of everything. ambiance: it was really cozy. it was quiet which i appreciate. everything was nice and clean. they have enough chairs and tables so it hasn't been crowded when i've been there. everyone seems so friendly too! and the kiosks make it so there is never a line which is also a plus. the cute stickers and other decorations make it feel welcoming. we sat for a while enjoying our drinks. i love the "cat" theme (neko=cat in japanese). drinks: we ended up ordering three different drinks but only remember two of the ones since it has been a while. *coffee milk tea with coffee jelly 6.5/10 the coffee was really good and smooth. the jelly was also good but it was quite strong to be paired with coffee (that's on me) and it is a bit chewy/on the hard side or texture. i have only had agave before so this was different but not necessarily bad. *passion fruit tea 7.5/10 was good i like my teas sweeter and since this was not as sweet but you can tell it was made with fresh ingredients. it comes with the passion fruit seeds and it tasted natural (not like others where it tastes artificial). *i think...taro milk tea with egg pudding ! 10/10 this one was everyone's favorite of the three. everything was so good and the pudding was perfect. all the flavors went well and i would order again. + BIG PLUS but i love anything that reduces single-use plastic waste...their cups are reusable and have their cute logo! and you can pick to drink out of the sippy part instead of getting a straw! everything seems very good quality and i would come back for the food it seems to be very popular! read more

Neko Cafe is my favorite boba/tea shop at the moment. The service is always quick and friendly. Or you can also order on you own at the kiosk. They have several options for drinks and so far everyone I've tried has been good. My top favorites are the Thai tea, Milk tea, and the Neko iced coffee. They also serve snacks and food items. The popcorn chicken is a must have. The ambiance is always welcoming and relaxed. And i would Recommend it highly to others. read more

This place is always so nice to visit and is very clean. I really enjoy the customer service, the staff is nice. My only note is , I wish the menu had a symbol or something that indicates that the item contains dairy. I have a dairy allergy and I'd appreciate knowing what has milk and what doesn't. Either way the drinks are great read more

Neko Cafe - Oreo Burlee Milk Tea (Blended) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Super cute cafe that I just needed to try out as I was getting my tires patched in the plaza across the street. I love cats and I love boba, so obviously, I loved this place. I got the tiramisu milk tea with some boba. I love getting tiramisu foam drinks. Especially when the cups allow you the ability to sip from the cup as opposed to the plastic sealed cups that you stab your straw through. Pro tip, the heart cover on the lid has a little hole where you can re-place it so you can sip the foam! We also got their classic boba milk tea with pudding. read more

There must be a dearth of good boba places in this area because this place is mid-tier at best. Do not be fooled by the somewhat decent reviews or the presence of Asians (customers AND staff). The cherry on top is that, despite the name, the cat theme is extremely minimal. I can't stress that enough; there are like two cat-themed decorations on the wall and that's it. read more

The takoyaki goes crazy my favorite takoyaki in the world. I will never forget the takoyaki! I love it :)

This boba was the best I've ever had in my life. It's better than Boba Time, no joke! And every other shop I've been to, I would recommend this shop to boba lovers. The service was great, and the boba balls were so high quality. read more

Food is ok. Honestly, just liked their boba and popcorn chicken the most. Chicken was juicy enough. But the packaging is cute! The curry rice is also ok. The pork was pretty tough and takoyaki were all right, not the best I've had. At least the portions were a lot. read more

The drink is very good we got tiramisu's milk tea . But the food .... is not good at all. I spent $50 and for the quality of the food .... We wanted to rethink. It taste like microwave premade food .... It was not fresh and the curry with popcorn taste old. I hope the food can be better. I like the drink and staff is friendly read more

Love Neko Cafe and happy it's close to home. It's in the strip mall where FedEx and KFC is located at. All the drinks I've had are so refreshing! They use fresh fruit in their tea and the tea isn't overly sweet. I've tried their grape cheese foam, peach cheese foam, and lychee cheese foam. They're all so good, but so far the lychee is my favorite. The cheese foam is so good too. It has the right amount of sweetness and cream cheese. My daughter loves getting their strawberry yogurt frostie. I tried it and it's creamy, icy, and delicious. There's some seating inside and a bathroom. I love that they have cat decals on the walls (big cat lover over here :D) Everytime I've gone in, the owner greets me with a smile and gives great customer service. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of their teas! read more

First timer! We ordered the Thai Milk Tea with Boba, Fresh Taro Milk Tea, and Coffee Milk Tea with Boba. I personally ordered the Fresh Taro Milk Tea and it was exactly what I ordered. They really do use fresh taro, which was puréed and sat at the bottom of a regular milk tea. I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting a taro flavored milk tea with fresh taro, but I did get what I ordered which was a fresh taro milk tea, so I can't complain. My brother and his fiancé were happy with their drinks overall and were very happy and satisfied that their boba was made fresh. We went on a Friday afternoon, so there weren't many customers, therefore we were able to order as soon as we decided what to order and received our order just as quickly The seating area was clean and spacious which included many tables, therefore, would be a good place to grab a drink/snack with family or a group of friends/study group. read more

Best boba around here, got the thai tea slush. They answered all my questions and were very nice, also a very clean place.

The drink was tasty. I ordered a matcha red bean frosty w/ boba. It's a little on the pricey side but the drink was delicious and the service was quick and friendly. I went around 4pm on a Thursday afternoon and nobody was there. The ambiance was chill and the place was very clean. read more

My new favorite boba place in Riverside! Honestly compares to some of my fav places in OC too but they have the BEST popcorn chicken I've ever tried. It was so fresh and crispy but not too hard like some places are. I got 75% sweet for my fruit tea and it was perfect as someone who still likes sweetness, just not an overload of sugar. The boba was warm and soft and the owner was so kind. read more
