    Thai tea
    Ashley M.

    Rating the thai tea: Thai tea was definitely sweet, good tea taste as well! But only downside was no creaminess in the thai tea. Thai tea is also known for its creamy tea flavor. I let the cashier know that it wasn't creamy, he did say he ran out of their half and half. So I was a little confused why the drink was even available if that ingredient was not available. 3/5 due to no creaminess.

    Oolong Milk Tea

    The oolong milk tea flavor was so good & the boba was the perfect texture. Friendly staff with quick service. Chill spot to hangout with friends.

    Found my favorite boba place ! The taste is delicious , not watered down , && the perfect amount of boba. It's a quiet little spot where you can sit && enjoy your drink. They're pretty quick too so you won't be waiting long. Definitely a must try place :)

    AMAZING BOBA SHOP IN RIVERSIDE! Located on Spruce street, it is a great place to sit and chat. We stopped by on our way to dinner and we were impressed by the quality, service, and taste. The barista was very friendly and suggested 3 amazing drinks. We went with all of their recommendations! The honeydew green tea was the best honeydew drink I have had in a while! It tasted very strong like honeydew but not in an artificial way! Green apple and orange drink were also exceptional. Service: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 This is definitely a place to check out! Will continue to visit sleept kitea!

    strawberry matcha latte
    Madalyn G.

    The place was very nice and clean the strawberry matcha latte was really goodd 10/10 and the service was fast will be coming back!!

    Loved all the boba drinks options. I especially love how the lemonade drinks are made fresh with real lemons. The service was wonderful. The person taking our order was extremely patient, answered any questions and was pleasant all around. The ambiance was cute. There was a couch, option to watch tv, toys for kids, games for any age, tables to socialize or just relax. It was cute and cozy but I think the ambiance could be taken to the next level with a little background music. There were lots of cards advertising the business which was fine but took away from the cute theme. Either way, would total come back and would total recommend.

    Super cute logo! LOVE THAT THEY SELL IT AS STICKERS TOO! Great place to get some boba, hang out, play some of their board games, or study and get some work done. Plenty of parking and service is very friendly and welcoming. There's also some anime theming here too with the cute 90's Sailor Moon cityscape art prints, the vaporwave Cloud from FF7 artwork, the Dragon Ball Kame House tip jar, Demon Slayer, and some keychains. I'm feeling like as more time passes, this place is gonna be decked out with so much more anime/manga themed artwork and I am looking forward to that! I'm all about boba places offering unique menu items, and they do have that here! We got the: 1) Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie: -I got this at half sweet and it was still a yummy, delectable dessert drink! -Very fluffy and good distribution of strawberry and cheesecake flavor. 2) Taro Cheese Foam Smoothie: -My bf got this at zero sweetness which they CAN do for you. It's just of a more icier drink than a smoothie, but you can really taste the taro flavor that they use. They also have milk alternatives here and you can even get flan as a topping! Definitely want to try that next time and their dulce de leche and cajeta lattes sound yummy as well. PS. I definitely wanna see this place take it even farther and combine their cat and anime theming, it'd make this a GREAT place for photos and to stop by, especially for future Anime Riversides or even local anime club/cosplay gatherings. So like artwork or merch of the Cat Bus from Totoro, the Baron from the Cat Returns/Whisper of the Heart, Artemis & Luna from Sailor Moon, Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, Nyanko-sensei from Natsume Yuujinchou, Korin from Dragon Ball, Meowth, Skitty, and all the feline Poke'mon, etc. The possibilities are endless!

    Honey Green Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly
    Alisa B.

    4.5 stars. I like this new boba shop! I used to frequent this plaza often for Best Thai and Mundial, so it's nice to see a local boba shop entering the mix too. I recommend the Honey Green Milk Tea! 50% sweet with some lychee jelly was perfect for me. The tea was fragrant and creamy (I got non-dairy creamer). Friendly staff! There was just one guy working when my family came in. Clean interior, but could use some wall art or a bookshelf or something to make the space a bit more cozy. Lots of tables to chill and study though!

    I love boba. Decided to check out this new spot. The owner said it's been open for 3 weeks now. If you're in Riverside or driving along the 215, definitely recommend stopping by. Very refreshing. I got the taro milk tea with boba and tiger milk tea with double boba. The boba is sweet and made with brown sugar. PROS: affordable drinks, get a discount when you use Yelp check in CONS: N/A

    Glad this place opened up as it's truly quality tea. We got the almond milk tea w boba and Earl grey tea with crystal boba. Fairly priced as the topping is 65 cents.

    Taro Milk Tea w/ boba
    Liv M.

    true to its flavor! perfect hangout spot. there was quite a lot of parking, and a large list of options to order from. 10/10 for ambiance the person who took my order was super chill and accommodating as well. asked if i wanted anything changed to my order after i got the drink in hand too 10/10 for service the drink was actually quite good cus it tasted just like ube. I asked for 50% sweetness and they gave just that. the boba was undercooked tho so kinda hard to chew but the drink def gets 9/10 want to go back to try their other flavors!

    Passion Fruit Green Tea
    Yohonna B.

    I was craving some ice tea after my workout and I saw this place got really good reviews so I stopped by . I also loved that they offered no sugar options . I got the passion fruit green tea and it is super refreshing . I can't wait to come back to try new flavors . The guy who was the cashier was also super friendly and I felt extremely welcome .

    I had tried Krak Boba in Westminster so my wife and I had to check this one out in Riverside since…read morewe 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.

Definitely a solid boba spot in Riverside if you're craving a good tea drink.
