READ BEFORE ORDERING OR GOING! This place is NOT clean! I wish I would've taken pics last night of all the trash on the floor by the table up front! The bubble waffle is sooo gross! Unless you like burnt eggs! That's the flavor! It smells awful too! The boba tea even when you request half sweet is so sugary your teeth will hurt! Some of the worst boba tea I've ever had!! The ONLY thing worth eating is the Japanese pancakes or soufflé as they call it! I got pumpkin and that was cool. Everything else is a no! Staff is friendly but after going twice with disappointing results I'll never go back! 2 stars because the soufflé was good! Otherwise 0 stars! read more

Don't sleep on this place! Absolutely love Thirstea! Their Thai Tea and bubble waffles are a must-try. Fellow Filipinos, you have to check out their Halo Halo--it's the best in the valley! I've sampled many, but nothing compares to Thirstea's. They load it with toppings and the leche flan is incredibly fresh and authentic. Plus, the owner, Jose, is super friendly and a veteran, which adds to the great vibe. I'm really looking forward to their Karaoke night on Fridays! Highly recommend! read more

While in Temecula, I was looking for a boba place close to my route and found IC rainbow. As we walked in, we were greeted with a great attitude and welcomed. The decor of the place is that of rainbows and unicorns. the guy at the counter asked us if it was our first time there and since it was, he went over the menu and wthe most popular options. The drinks were great and so was the service. I recommend IC Rainbow when you're around the Temecula Promenade. read more

This time around, I did the honey green tea and chocolate bubble waffle with chocolate ice cream topped with almonds, coconut, and chocolate drizzle. Everything was tasty as always.

My Husband and I came in here tonight to get a boba drink and we heard it was new so we thought we would give it a try. They are a bit pricey I think a large is like 4.50 not sure what a regular is. I ordered a classic milk tea and my husband ordered the banana strawberry smoothie. The smoothie was delicious but it had more of a banana flavor than a strawberry. The classic milk tea was too milky and it didn't taste like a milk tea. It kinda tasted like milk with ice. The atmosphere in here is very nice and welcoming and fun and the people that work there are nice and friendly I am not sure if we will return. read more

Came here tonight because I was feeling "cute". I'm normally not a big fan of novelty ice cream but I'm a sucker for novelty drinks. Been eyeballing this place because of the good reviews and it didn't disappoint! First off, the service here is phenomenal! The Hispanic girl w/glasses (didn't catch her name) was really helpful and made sure I got what I wanted. Hats off to you girl, you rock! The drinks were equally great. I ordered the galaxy lemonade w/ popping boba for my daughter along with a rose green tea. The rose green tea came with little rose petals on top, I mean what more can a man ask for? The drink was refreshingly good and the sweetness level was spot on. I can see myself getting this drink often during the hot summer months. The inside of this place was clean and inviting. There are plenty of things to take pics of. Although they weren't busy when I arrived during the later hours, I'm sure they get pretty busy during the prime hours. I highly recommend this spot!!! read more

They appear to be one of the few authorized local retailers carrying some of the harder-to-find NeeDoh releases, yet I recently saw individual Halloween NeeDohs priced at nearly $25 EACH. When I asked about the significant markup, I was told that this was "fair market value" because resellers are selling them for similar prices. That explanation really bothered me. An authorized retailer purchasing directly through the brand is very different from a reseller on the secondary market. Families shouldn't have to pay reseller-level prices at a local authorized retailer simply because an item is popular or difficult to find. I love supporting small businesses and understand that they need to make a profit, but nearly $25 for an individual NeeDoh that is intended to retail for significantly less feels excessive. There are so many families and kids searching for these products, and I wish the pricing reflected that rather than what resellers are able to get online. Unfortunately, the experience left me really disappointed and hesitant to shop here again.

A long time ago I tried boba tea. I honestly just wasn't impressed by it. The tapioca balls (now I know they were black sugar) left me unimpressed. On a whim, I decided to try IC Rainbow and was so surprised to find out that I actually love boba! Maybe my tastebuds matured, or maybe IC Rainbow is going something right! I have been there twice now, and ordered a classic milk tea with white honey boba. Both times, I was greeted immediately upon walking in, the gentleman was very patient with me and explaining the different options (my brother wanted something different from what I usually get this time around). Very simple ordering process, their system calculates a tip for you, and prompt service. I can't speak of their ice cream or other drinks, but their milk teas and tapioca balls are on point. They also have a sign posted that if you visit on Thursdays (I think within a time frame, I only got a quick glance at the sign) and wear something with a unicorn on it, you get a small discount! Update: Finally got to try their rolled ice cream and it is amazing! read more

Ice cream was just okay and not many flavors to choose from. On top of that my order came out way later than my boyfriends and other people who were in line behind me got their ice cream first and by the time I got mine he was finished and by the time his friend got his, HIS girlfriend was finished with her's... obviously they need to fix their system or create a ticket system so that people actually receive their order in the correct time from which they placed it. Ridiculous. But there is another rolled ice cream place opening up off Murrieta Hot Springs so I guess I'll just be patient and wait till they're open instead of returning to this place. Plea dirty!!! read more

We were craving mango soufflés and decided to visit Thirst Tea on Winchester, formerly known as IC Rainbow. The interior was clean, featuring a pastel-colored counter and green walls. The flower vase on each table added a touch of romance. We ordered a soufflé and matcha waffles, both of which were soft and flavorful with just the right amount of sweetness. For drinks, we chose strawberry milk tea and salted cheesecake milk tea with boba, opting for 50% sweetness. The beverages were smooth and delicious. This place offers a wide variety of desserts and boba drinks. read more

Icecream was just okay and not many flavors to choose from. There has to be a lot that needs to change. Thats what they did with ours and I ended up with less ice cream than my brother, and they DID NOT bat an eye at how I ordered a larger size. They say you order by weight, but they don't bother to weigh it. I advise not to go to this place since the people they have working there do not give you what you paid for usually. read more

This place has amazing customer service as well as delicious ice cream. I was always looking for a rolled ice cream place in Temecula to try this trendy ice cream. I ordered a strawberry ice cream and Thai tea , both of them was stellar and tasty! I will be a regular customer now!!! read more

Loved this place! Pancakes were amazing and the staff was super friendly. The ice cream was fun to get. I'm a big Thai tea person so I'm pretty picky about them and it's abnormally sweet, but not bad, just different the boba was perfect though. read more

Boba Love is right next to Sonic, so whenever my kiddos and husband go to that drive thru, I opt to get a drink here if they're open. They are the only place in the area that serves Almond Milk Tea. Not actual almond milk in the the drink, but the almond flavor. It's like having almond jello in drink form... If you haven't tried them, give them a shot.

Joe and Destiny really took me to a blast from the past with their AMAZING and cozy corner. Right from ordering, Joe was very welcoming and hospitable. I popped in one of the VHS tapes into the TV's and was so surprised everything was in pristine, working condition! Joe brought my drink over to me while we talked about how this corner was a very personal and intimate recreation of his childhood, which I really enjoyed. As always, the boba is fresh, even though I came in 20 mins before close, and I love how all their milk teas are nondairy. Joe and Destiny made me feel so welcomed, and here I was, about to be crying in a boba shop on Mother's Day because I was brought back to my childhood by something as simple as a VHS tape and bubble TV. Joe and Destiny rly made my the end of my Mother's Day an amazing one, just through the genuine conversation and interactions we had. I most likely will be finding myself back here just to hangout, and watch one of my childhood movies while having a boba!

They also have bubble waffles and shaved ice desserts. My husband and kids all got blended drinks with boba while I got a mango passion shave ice which was yummy and refreshing; just the ice was too hard and crunchy. I prefer Taiwanese soft shaved snow. There are also board games piled on a table in the corner so our kiddos played a couple games while we sat inside and enjoyed our treats. All in all, it was a pleasant first visit and would return again!

Born and raised in OC, I would say I'm super picky about boba when it comes to consistency,…read moretexture, and size. I've passed by this place often when driving, so decided to give it a taste. I think that if a milk tea can be perfect then the rest of the drinks would be on par. I had decided to get the signature milk tea with boba to see if it would be good enough. There was a nice, Vietnamese lady that took our order. She was quick to charge us and then bring it out. The store itself smelled of incense; reminds me of my parents' house. We got our milk tea and left. Upon trying it, it reminded me of a simple milk tea from Its Boba Time or from Banh Mi Che Cali. The boba itself is extra chewy and the size of each one is inconsistent. Although it's okay, I can't possibly rate it as a five star. I'd say it passed the milk tea test, and I need to come back to see how the other drinks are.
