This place has the BEST Milk Tea in Inland Empire! I went there the first time yesterday and WOW! I love their Milk Tea. I haven't tried any other drink la yet but I'm sure they're great too. I don't like their fried fishballs though something that has yellow stuff inside the fishballs. Overall, the place is cozy and staff are friendly. read more

Large menu with decent prices. A large is HUGE, like three normal boba drinks big. The yogurt drink was unlike anywhere else. More Vietnamese style flavored yogurt and oh so good. I would definitely come back just for this. Hokkaido milk tea taste like the instant blue stripped packet if you know what I mean. Decent but not the fresh stuff you can get elsewhere and nothing to write home about. My Viet coffee drink was STRONG. Lovely and authentic flavors. read more

Tim Boba - Yogurt drink and Hokkaido milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

We love love love their strawberry avalanche and mango chamoy. The other drinks are awesome too and we keep trying new ones each time we come. I wasn't a fan of the sugar cane juice tho coz I'm used to having it with kumquat or calamansi. If they ever offer that, I'll be here even more often than ever. Other favorites are the yogurt, mango avalanche, and the mt. Evermilk. Today trying tiger milk tea and excited to try it (it is a mix of milk tea and Thai iced tea). The place is nice and big with comfy couches even for those who are waiting for to-go orders. There's also a kiosk to order so you can make sure that they have exactly your order. I haven't been to the other location but I'm so glad they are expanding. Hopefully they end up opening one in Moreno valley haha. read more

Had lunch nearby and wanted boba so we found this place on Yelp. We had the Vietnamese ice coffee and the dark matcha with almond milk. Both were delicious. I had forgotten to tell them 50% sweet and was pleased that it wasn't overly sweet. I like the strong matcha flavor. We will definitely be back. read more

Tim Boba is a go-to spot for me and my friends in college. It's open late and their boba is a fair price. The quality itself is average. Similar to the OG boba shops like Lollicup and half and half. The space is always clean and the food is made to order so it's always hot and fresh. I personally wouldn't go here for anything like the matcha, but the teas and slushes are good! My favs are the jasmine tea with cheese foam and the mango drinks! read more

Got the jasmine milk tea and Hokkaido milk tea with coffee. Jasmine milk tea (50% sweet) had a light jasmine flavor, not overly sweet and overall taste was okay. Hokkaido milk tea with coffee was good, coffee flavor was strong. read more

Oh, Tim Boba. I don't know why I expected so much from you. We came here around 11:15pm. Kudos to you for opening late for college students, for having plenty of places to sit, offering clean restrooms and for having great service. But you messed up in my favorite item. Popcorn chicken. I was so sad! The chicken was so dry that after a few bites, I just gave the rest away. I think popcorn chicken should be made with chicken thighs to help lock in the moisture and to give it a soft chew. Please try again. Let me know when you change the popcorn chicken recipe and I'll come back. Thanks! read more

Tim Boba always maintains a hefty menu with loads of options. Their prices are excellent and inexpensive compared to the average boba shop. Their workers are always kind and the drinks and ready quick! They provide their own games to borrow from a little cart, or allow people to bring in their own to use on tables. During midterms and finals season for the local higher education institutions, the shop is busy with students studying on their couches and tables. Otherwise, people sit on the couches to lounge and chat! Lovely place!!! read more

Tim Boba - Full menu as of 6/24/26 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Boba and board games?! I think YES! Located in the heart of downtown Riverside. Well, off the beaten path a bit. When we first pulled up, from the outside, it looks like a laundry mat. But it's definitely a boba place. Once we walked inside, we found a menu printed and someone greeted us. I ordered off the dairy free menu. I went with a honeydew boba tea. It was alright. My husband ordered a milk tea. He enjoyed it. It was on the sweeter side. We sat with our friends and played jenga. It was lots of fun! Honestly, it's a cool spot to hangout and play some games. read more

This place is huge and the set up is a cool place to hang out. The việtnamese ice blended coffee is the most fragrant, tasteful, and best around Riverside. This is according to my husband who's addicted to it I like the creamy taste of some of the drinks and the staffs are so polite and delightful. This is our new favorite place. read more

Here's an updated menu for everyone! My bf and I came here because the line at 7Leaves was too long. The line here was even longer BUT they were much more efficient with their orders! There were about 10 people queued in front of us, plus a few groups who had already ordered and were waiting seated. It took only about 5 minutes for them to get our drinks to us! A slightly older employee (was he the owner?) was super sweet and had a comforting aura. He was going up to customers, handing them their food and drinks. He greeted everyone with a smile, cheery attitude, and kind greetings of "have a nice day" :) The fruit drinks are so refreshing! There were cut slices of fresh watermelon in both our drinks, and the flavor was very strong, in a good way! They have plenty of comfortable, plush seating- and even some board games to play. It was Friday night, so a little bit loud for studying, but definitely doable. We'll definitely be back! read more

I met a friend here while visiting the area. I am not familiar with boba teas, but after looking over the menu I chose a coconut drink, and it was excellent, delicious and refreshing. Order at the counter, and they bring the order to your table. There are several seating areas where people can visit with each other. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the people who work there are great. I also tried some seafood egg rolls which were the best egg rolls I'd ever had. Most restaurants are stingy with the proteins in egg rolls and fill them only with cabbage; these had whole shrimp and other seafood as much as veggies! And they served it with an amazing dipping sauce. The place looks modest from the outside, but it is clean, has wonderful service and top notch food and drinks. Highly recommended. read more

I love tim boba. From my first year at UCR to now being a post grad, this is the only boba spot in town that I am extremely loyal to. The boba & food is always out fast & taste so good. They even have board games inside now to play with your friends. Honestly the coziest boba spot in town with the friendliest workers. read more

Did a pick up and didn't see the drink quality until I got home because it was in a bag. Dark matcha is so inconsistent here. Only a few times did o get really good dark matcha. This one is the worse. This isn't even dark matcha, it's just milk poured into a cup with some matcha swirls. So disappointing. read more

Im a loyal costumer who's spent over 100 dollars on this place in the last month. I was here during the day and didn't buy anything but came back an hour later planning to buy something because thats their policy. the owner came up to me and my girlfriend telling us we were banned for life for not buying anything. during our explanation of our side to the owner he walked away from us and said nothing. so rude! read more

I came here to get something to drink. There was plenty of parking, and they have a good selection of drinks. You can order at the kiosk by the door or with the person at the counter.

Was not expecting a well lit, well designed and spacious boba place like this. It looks clean, even the leather seats. They had a wide array of boba, and had something on the menu to munch on for snacking. It's an extravagant and comfortable place for a boba place and would definitely want to hang out if I was local. Love the swing seats at the back. read more

Im surprised this place has such great review because the drinks weren't that good to be honest. Got their green milk tea with boba in a large and it was like drinking milk only and no tea. Boba was chewy which was good but otherwise it was not that great. read more

Was just at Tim Boba a few days ago and will say this is one of the best boba spots I've been to... As you enter, you can order on the screens to the right or straight ahead to the register. They've got a wide variety of drinks as well as snacks. My son ordered their Taro Smoothie with boba added, My daughter had their Mango Sunrise with Lychee Jelly, and I had their Mango Avalanche. Other than cash, they do accept Credit cards, Apple Pay and Venmo. My kids seemed to thoroughly enjoy their drinks as I did. The Mango Avalanche was quite tasty kind of like a Mango Creamsicle with small pieces of mango blended in the drink. Boba is cooked to perfection. Not too soft where its overly cooked and not undercooked and hard. It had just the right consistency. Tim Boba is a nice spot full of tables with chairs and couches.Its a nice spot to hang with friends or family if you want to hang around as they also have games on the side you can play while you enjoy your snacks and boba. The employees at Tim Boba are quick and incredibly friendly. A fun gathering spot thats well taken care of. I just wish I was close enough to come here more often! If you're in the area and have a boba craving, this is a place to check out! Two thumbs up! read more

Tim's boba is a cool hang out spot! They are open late and it's always clean inside. The drinks are good too and flavorful. I got the coconut smoothie and there were little coconut bits in the drink. I liked that about it. Dark matcha was really good too. The service is always nice and I'm happy to answer any questions I have.. Will be coming back more often read more

I came here with my friends after dinner because they were the only boba spot open late at night. It was relatively packed inside when we got there and there was only one working kiosk by the door. We waited in line to order our drinks, but found out later on that you could have also ordered at the counter (there was just nobody there). I ordered the dark matcha with 50% sweetness, less ice, almond milk, and with boba toppings. They were relatively fast at getting the drinks out. The boba was soft and chewy but the drink itself felt watered down. They had a bunch of couches and chairs for us to sit at so we chilled there for a little bit while we all waited for our drinks. It was a little loud but that's to be expected. All in all, not the best or the worst spot for a late night drink that's less than $6. read more

The service was quick and the ambiance was really cute, a college student meet up for sure. The only thing is that for many of their drinks you can't substitute the milk so it only gave us like 2 options to choose from, but the 2 drinks were really good. read more

I'm not picky with my food but I am with my coffee and this Vietnamese coffee is on point, a bit of a nutty taste, a little different than a traditional Vietnamese coffee but definitely recommend! Very fast and friendly service as well, we were in and out in less than 4 minutes. read more

Menu is huge so there's something for everyone. My boyfriend and I ordered a dark matcha with 25% sugar and boba and a large sugarcane juice. The dark matcha was the perfect sweetness for us and had good matcha flavor. Boba was a bit softer than I am used to but still good. The large sugarcane was delightfully refreshing and such a good deal (32oz for $7). I ended up adding a bunch of ice to dilute it and easily doubled the drink. Service was good. I needed an itemized receipt printed, and the worker went out of his way to ask the manager how to do that. read more

The milk tea is delicious and I like that when you say you want "light ice" they give you light ice and still fill the milk tea to the top. I came at a busy time and didn't have to wait too long for my beverage. Inside was pretty crowded so I just took my drink to go. I do not recommend the boba. It was way too chewy for me almost as if it was over cooked. read more

We stopped by for a quick dinner on our way to a show in the area. The only thing that was decent was the wonton ramen. The popcorn chicken was not your typical Taiwanese style.. it was coated in panko crumbs. And super bland, no five spice flavor, no basil.. just dry white meat cubes in panko crumbs. Not what we were expecting. The potato corn dog had no meat, it was potato coating with mozzarella cheese on the inside. It was okay but the name is deceiving. And lastly the sugarcane drinks were ridiculously sweet.. not sure if it was fresh or concentrate. We left the drinks in the car during our show and came back, all the ice had melted but it was still soo sweet.. didn't taste natural. Probably.. won't be coming back. read more

Tim Boba is hands down one of the best boba spots around! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and made just right. I tried the brown sugar boba, and it was the perfect balance of sweetness with soft, chewy tapioca pearls. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. The shop itself has a chill, modern vibe. read more

Really yummy snacks with big portions. Perfect for the college students as they have plenty of seating and wifi (they have a time limit for sitting in but it wasn't too crowded on a Saturday afternoon) Tea is passable -- I appreciate the large being an 32 oz but it's just green tea with fruits inside. I got it at the lowest sweetness which is pretty sweet already with all the fruits. Good enough to quench thirst and nice to have with the delicious snacks. read more

Tim Boba is a cute little boba shop with fun white boards that make a good time for studying! They also serve food so you can snack while you drink your boba. ITEMS I TRIED: - Tim Coffee: I am a sucker for salted cream, which this coffee had. I asked for less sweet and it was perfect! - Popcorn Chicken: nice crispy exterior with a juicy interior. Def will satisfy your popcorn chicken cravings if you have any. * Also tried the Vietnamese Coffee, and it was solid! SERVICE: drinks come out pretty quickly. It took a while to get the adjustments to the drink right on the order though! PARKING: there's a small lot right in front of the shop. PRICE: price is expected for a boba shop! Around $5 for drinks and slightly more for food. Overall, would probably come back to try but not sure I'd crave it. It's a solid spot! read more

Had their brown sugar boba and paradise fruit tea. Both were good and the boba was very soft. The shop is spacious and clean.

Upon entering, I was overwhelmed by how many drinks they have! Tried the Mt. Evermilk iced milk (aka brown sugar milk) with double boba - it was pretty sweet and refreshing. Boba was on the softer side instead of chewy. Drinks are all one size. Inside there were students studying and people hanging out. Reminds me of my college days. It's a good place to meet a group. They have whiteboards for you to write on if you need to do science/math problems, diagrams etc. PROS: has apple/Google pay, offers stamp card, affordable prices, good study area, open late, quick service and friendly staff CONS: some of their drinks are pre-made, so you can't sub for a milk alternative (e.g Taro milk tea)...RIP lactose intolerant friends read more
