Fast friendly service. Large selection at decent prices. Large ample space for gathering with couches and games to play. Definitely a great addition to the area. I want to come back and try the food Update: tried the won ton noodles and egg rolls. Soup was a little bland and came with 4 small shrimp won ton. Ok for a light snack. Egg rolls were massive and tasty but comes with a hefty price tag at $9. Skip the soup, go for the egg rolls read more

We got the watermelon chamoy and mango chamoy which were SO tasty and refreshing on a hot day. I've had others and these chamoy drinks were the best yet. We also ordered the strawberry lemonade which was on the sweeter side so I'd recommend going a bit lower than regular sweet but still quite tasty! Staff were also very kind to us! Next time I'm in the area, I will return! :) read more

I'm a long-time customer who went to the original location on University Ave, and when Tim told me he was opening another store near the Tyler Galleria, that was great news. I've always liked their drinks as well as the snacks. This location is 4-5× larger inside, which makes it less cluttered and conducive for working, studying, or even playing board games. There are swing chairs in the back, and couches with tables, and standard chairs and tables as well. The atmosphere is well lit without seeming too bright, and the music is pleasant. Favorite drinks include the Mango Surprise, which is like a smoothie, and the tea-based peach with fresh fruit chunks. The watermelon option is equally refreshing. Snack wise, I love the egg rolls, and the chicken nuggies are another great choice. Friendly service has always been a hallmark. read more

Tim Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

free wifi is cool and big couches are comfy! ambience can be give or take (too warm or too loud at times) but noise canceling headphones are a go-to for me. restrooms are very clean whenever i come. service has been good when i get male cashiers but for some reason i've had a bad experience with the female working the night shift. the guys are always nice and patient. however, the drinks have been so downhill. it is the most important part for me and i'm sad it hasn't been the best lately ): i ordered something i really liked but tried to order the same thing today and it was way too sweet. i couldn't even drink it and sadly i got a large. i was charged extra for fruit when i wasn't the first time i ordered but i enjoyed the drink the first time so i said alright, whatever. the girl cashier specifically told me there was no sugar added (just yogurt and mango blended) so i thought it would be like the first time i ordered two days ago. super sweet just tasted like sugar and milk...could not even taste the mango i was charged extra for. same thing happened last time i came and ordered strawberry smoothie. drinks have been way way way too sweet. first sip and i already have a stomachache. really disappointing. read more

Was craving some Boba after a late dinner and found that this place is open until midnight. We ordered several drinks and a snack (popcorn chicken). Boba drinks were standard to what you can get at other locations, and boba texture is very good. Just the right squishiness, and firmness. I ordered a sugar cane drink which was priced $7 for large, which is a good value of what I've had at other places, but it wasn't exactly as flavorful as I've had it. Not sure if it's watered down, or just a different type of cane, but I wouldn't order this again. The popcorn chicken was not what I expected. It's not the Taiwanese style popcorn chicken, but more similar to tiny chicken nuggets? This is another thing I wouldn't order again. Cashier was friendly and answered our questions about the drink options well. Lastly, the place is really nice for sitting around and relaxing with a drink. Nice comfy sofas and chairs abound, lit brightly, I was surprised how nice it was for a Boba place. Price = great value Decor = very nice and comfy Snack ( Popcorn chicken ) = needs improvements Drink = good flavored, solid Boba texture. Staff = felt welcomed and attentive to our needs read more

I came here to study with my friend and it was pretty chill. I wish they had more outlets. The space is large so that's a plus. The food I ordered was good and the drinks were pretty good too. Though it's a nice spot I'm giving this space a 4 because they didn't have a good assortment of milk for my tea and no that many outlets. Other than that the guy at the register was really nice and had great customer service. read more

The drinks are generously priced. The shop has a lot of seating. A nice environment to sit down, with comfortable sofas and soft music playing in the background. Orders are placed at a kiosk so you don't get that guest interaction. Their real sugar cane drinks are worth ordering. read more

Tim Boba - Coconut smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I came shortly after 12, which is the time they open. I had heard mixed reviews on Tim Boba, some good and some bad. I know they also have a location near UCR. I was in the area and was curious to see what it was all about. I know it mainly beverages like boba, smoothies, and a few food items. There is plenty of parking available. This location looks modern while also being gaudy which their furniture. They have sofas and tables. You order off a tablet. They have many signs of their menu and what they offer. I was having a hard time trying to decide what to get. I decided on the avocado smoothie, since ever never seen that and I love avocados. I also saw they sell chicken bakes, which I only know about from Costco. My total came out to $10 and some change. I waited for quite a while for my order. There were a few customers inside. After a bit, my name was called and I received my order. I loved my smoothie! It tasted like avocado, lemon, and milk. My chicken bake was a decent size and good. It tasted exactly how I expected. Customer service could be better. read more

This place is so amazing, definitely didn't expect to be so good. I got the coconut smoothie and love that it's made with real coconut juice and it's not sweet. I did suggest that it would be so much better if pieces of coconut were added. My hubby got the mango avalanche and it was also good. The place is definitely a good place to sip on your boba and chill. The service was amazing very sweet and nice. She did say that she will bring up about adding coco nut pieces to the coconut smoothie, loved that ! I will definitely be back and see if they took my advice. read more

Tim Boba - Matcha/ Taro/ chocolate Oreo smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Boba - 2/5 Food - 4/5 I grew up in the SGV/626 area and have tried an extensive list of boba shops and Tim Boba was disappointing for boba but food was pretty good. Stopped by here for a snack on the way to the mountains and got the Jasmine Milk Tea, 25% sweet w/ boba, popcorn chicken and egg rolls. I had to do a double-take of the drink because the Jasmine Milk Tea just tasted like sweet milk without any floral or jasmine taste. Was very disappointed. Might have been the 25% sweetness that diluted the flavor but I feel that milk tea should have a base of unsweetened jasmine tea and a sweetener is added later The boba was pretty good and chewy but the boba is not sweetened much. I barely finished 1/3 of the drink. The popcorn chicken, while pretty good is not the typical Taiwanese popcorn chicken made with basil and white pepper. It's more of an Americanized chicken that would work well with ketchup or ranch if that makes sense. It was $10, which was pretty steep for popcorn chicken too but the portion was fairly large. The eggrolls are Vietnamese-inspired egg rolls and came with nuoc nam and was pretty good, I believe it had pork and shrimp inside. Would have liked to try the fried tofu but they ran out at the time. Both of the food was freshly prepared and very hot/crispy so I appreciated that but the boba was very disappointing! The inside of the place is very very large and bright so good to hang out with friends. read more

This was our stop after dinner. SERVICE - The person who took our order was quiet but nice. The owner was the one who made a difference in our visit. He came out and started chatting with us. He gave our four girls Oreo cookies and also brought out his daughter's little bike for the girls to play with. He was so kind and welcoming. After we got our drinks, he came by and asked if everyone was happy with the drinks. DRINKS Strawberry Banana - I did not try this but my daughter enjoyed this. Jasmine Milk Tea - Good standard milk tea. Boba was solid. Nicely cooked. Jasmine W Foam - This was the winner in my book. The foam mixed perfectly with the tea. This was originally my husband's drink but I definitely swapped with him. We do not live in Riverside but if we were in the area again, we would definitely visit! read more

First time here, I was craving boba near by. The place inside was spacious and looked really elegant for a tea spot! I was looking for a mango coconut rice drink, but could only add on mango chunks to be blended. The service was great, he tried to help me out the best he could with what I wanted lol. Would def go back if am around the area. read more

Stopped by here on the way home from Lake Forest OC. This Boba shop was the only one open late so we decided to check it out. The place is huuuge w a lot of leather sofas to hangout on while enjoying your drink!! There were a lot of people there at 11pm. Some were playing board games, others were on their laptops and some were just hanging out. Ambience was very nice. Bathroom was extremely clean!! I ordered a Mt Everest. It was ok... I was expecting this to be like the Taiwanese black sugar boba drink from Mochinut but it didn't have that cheese foam on top. The drink wasn't bad but not great either. It was ok. I would definitely come back to try other flavors when I come back to this area. read more

First time here. There is a kiosk to order on your own at the front door, but I went straight to the cash register and ordered there. The place is very big and got crowded very quickly at about 6 PM on a weekday. I got a large cococane ($8), which is coconut water, and two pieces of coconut meat with sugarcane juice. It was very good would return just for this. I also tried two pieces of the spiral potato ($7) and an order of popcorn chicken($10) with no spice. The potato was decent nothing special just potato with salt and pepper. The popcorn chicken was very disappointing. Although it was a very good amount, there was no flavor and breading was a bit much for me. I was expecting more of the traditional Taiwanese popcorn chicken that most Boba shops have but this is more American style with plain breading. I would not return for food, but the drink was very good. read more

Hidden gem on this side of Riverside! Love this place. The boba is actually good: excellent flavor and perfect texture. Their menu has a good variety of drinks and they even serve some hot finger foods. My favorite part is the inside of the restaurant. It's a large, spacious room with lots of comfy couches to hang out. They have table games you can play and just an overall chill place to hang. Highly recommend. 10/10 read more

The BEST boba! They all taste amazing I got the Taro one & 10/10 recommend, the service is great & they are all super nice!

I have been to many boba, places, and very picky. This place is huge in space. You have a private area. You have hanging hammock, The drinks are affordable and not pricey, like all the other places. Not only that, but they were able to provide us with a sample before purchasing, which is something that you rarely see in Obama place. He gave us an assurance of knowing. What is it that we wanted to order? We can give a five over five stars and completely recommend that we just had drinks.We didn't eat any food next time, and we will try them and come and eat a snack with the family read more

Tim Boba - Coconut smoothie with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Wow--easily one of the best boba spots around! Tim Boba is my go-to place for fresh, delicious drinks and a chill spot to hang out. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a relaxing, fragrant aroma that sets the vibe. There's a convenient self-ordering kiosk to your left and a friendly cashier up front, plus a surprisingly spacious seating area filled with comfy couches and chairs--it's perfect for catching up with friends or just relaxing. My girlfriend always gets the Mango Avalanche (blended), and it never disappoints. It's made with real mango, blended to perfection with cream or milk, and paired with perfectly chewy, flavorful boba. They'll even customize and blend any drink you like, which is a huge plus! Whether you're a boba lover or just looking for a cozy hangout, Tim Boba is 100% worth checking out. 5 stars all the way! read more

Drinks weren't good. Boba was overcooked and did NOT taste like honey. I got the onion rings they were good but very oily. The atmosphere is not good. So much open space doesn't even look like a boba place. The worker wasn't even that friendly. read more

The dark matcha with soy milk was super good. very chill spot also the coconut drink is so good too.

It looks like a great hangout spot as it has bunch of games you can ask to use and play inside , good spacing for indoor seating including sofas. Service was good too but we were just doing pickup order ! Just be mindful of sweetness because they are more on the sweeter side in my family's opinion. I did select 50% sweetness for my strawberry slush and it was still very sweet. I think some drinks has option for sweetness adjustment but just be mindful of that. Other than that , it's a cute local boba spot ! Egg rolls are yummy too. read more

Came here today with my husband for the first time and let me tell you the excitement I has to try this spot no longer is there. The girl at the register took our order @2:52 I ordered the Vietnamese Coffee and my husband got the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and I also wanted to try their twisted potato. We sat down after we ordered and our drinks came maybe 7 minutes later. More time passed by and I was still missing the potato. I even went to the counter and respectfully asked if there was an update on the potato, the female behind the counter told me "it's still not ready". I sat back down, 3:15 came and the male that was busy talking with the cashier finally got up and went to the back for my order. He came out placed everything in a bag and handed it to me. My fault for not checking but once I got home I pulled the potato twists out and they weee both burnt. That entire time those two workers spent talking and joking around in the front no one thought about checking on the order and they gave it to me burnt. Which he would of known he did because he grabbed them out and placed them in the bag. Super disappointed with the service and with the product I paid for. Never coming back. read more

This place recently opened by the Tyler mall. I saw it when I was out with my friends. The inside was clean and big. The cashier was helpful in helping me and my friends choose our drinks. They had a buy 2 get 1 free. I got the mango avalanche. I love mango and you could taste the small mango bits in the smoothie. My friend ordered the matcha smoothie. It was creamy and had the right amount of matcha. Our free drink was the milk tea. It was smooth and tasted great with the boba. We had cash and got the boba for free. Their large size is huge by the way. Good value. read more
