We had such a great experience at Viva La Boba. The protein shake with boba was delicious. It was also such a great environment with a very clean restroom. I give it an 11/10. Thank You. read more

This place is underrated. Prices are higher, but my Taro Smoothie w/ boba was worth it. Very smooth and delicious. The two staff ladies were very friendly. I love the ambiance in here. Very minimal and aesthetic. I would study here if I was a student because they have many outlets. Definitely recommend this place. Also, there was nobody here on Friday around 7:45pm.

Ok so the boba isn't ready until 12:45 here everyday because THEY MAKE IT FRESH EVERY SINGLE DAY now it makes sense why I'm completely addicted and I just found out the boba is literally from Taiwan. So this place continues to amaze me like serious quality over quantity. I've been 4x now and they're like consistently sweet and the vibe is great. If you want great quality boba just come in the afternoon read more

Love this place! I appreciate that the boba is made every day! Also the owner is so cool and the ambiance is chill

Stopped in my nephews niece and daughter to try this little gem! My nephews got a Oreo shake which they both downed within a matter of minutes and said it was delicious. My niece got a mango tea boba and she loved it!!! And for me and my little we shared a Thai tea boba and that was divine! It's big inside and clean and the lady at the counter was so sweet! When I'm back in the area I will definitely be stopping back In read more

Love this shop. The drinks and boba are always fresh and delicious, and service is always very friendly. I also love the support of the local community and the events they put on! I'll keep coming back again and again. read more

Such a cool, cozy boba shop! It's the perfect study spot- quiet, relaxing, spacious. They have amazing art on display from various talented creators, all of which tie into their theme very well! There's also a mini library with books available to check-out via QR code, a small potted succulent garden all of which are for sale, and posters for upcoming events! Staff are friendly and provided wonderful customer service. The employee at the register offered help and said to feel free asking any questions. They gave me recommendations and also informed me that I can customize the drinks with different flavored syrups The drinks themselves were delicious. I had the mango black tea, which had a very strong, distinct mango flavor and a good amount of caffeine as well. It was refreshing, perfect for the weather read more

Came here for the first time on my birthday. Wasn't sure what to order, but was recommended the Thai Tea Boba. We ordered that with a customized coconut smoothie with strawberry syrup and strawberry jelly. Overall, both drinks were refreshing - one sweet and one less sweet. I would definitely recommend adding boba to your drink order because it was excellent - a perfect texture of soft and chewy. We also got to try the Pina Colada with mango jelly and samples of their matcha and taro. The match and mango are also great choices. The business is a small business, privately-owned and has a charming array of art, succulents for sale and merchandise. The owner was very friendly, knowledgeable and appreciated feedback. Definitely a great place to check out if you are in the Inland Empire. read more

First time stopping in and I was underwhelmed. The actual store and staff were great. I got a fruit tea and it was super watery. The boba was fresh but had a thicker texture than what I prefer. I might be willing to try other drinks, but for the price ($7+ for the small size), I'll probably find other sources of boba. read more

Okay ........... I'm a coffee drinker. So when you look at their menu board, see my pic, you can tell I'm out of my element. Well, sort of. When I was thinking about my order, I declared my preference and they were very quick to accommodate me. But I asked for something outside my comfort zone ............. I (really they did) choose wisely. The owners were very friendly, helpful and engaging. The vibe was very energizing (just a side note: I there for a community event. This was one of many they participate in. If you check out their other social media pics, you'll they are quite engage with the local community.) While I (I mean they) choose wisely for my drink, when you look at the menu board, you'd hard press to not find "your" drink there. Their variety could be endless. The building has been around for over 100 years, and while it's been renovated, it still has that rustic charm. And better yet, they have a billion (maybe not, but still a bunch of) electric wall outlets by their tables. The upper windows let in a great deal of natural light. I (I mean they) choose a Thai Tea Milk something with boba balls (tapioca pearls). My drink was sweet, but not too sweet, refreshing (must be the Thai thing going on) and creamy. It came with the super wide straw for pulling up the boba balls. These were very chewy. It was a good drink. There are a variety of snacks/food items served, see my pic. Later on, I'll be back for a homemade peanut butter cookie - yum (from a licensed home kitchen). As you can see from pic, they also cater from their trailer. So that you're not disappointed, check out their open days and hours. read more

I was craving boba and I saw Viva La Boba. I was like when did this opened? I thought I would give it a try. It's across the street from Krak Boba. So first impressions was hmmm, ok. Yeah ordered my boba it was kind of late like almost 9pm so I ordered a small instead of a larger size. Was not very impressed with the boba nor the milk tea. It was just ok. Basically, I would care to go back to it I guess. Nothing to do with the server or the place. It's just didn't have anything special for me to go back to. Maybe great for a study place? Idk. The place is clean... read more

Had a chance to try this spot during one of their community events that involved beads and boba. The group that hosted the boba & beads event was partner with community health worker Native American grant. We all got to try one drink for free and make these awesome beaded keychains. My four year old also joined in and had a lot of fun. Drinks were delicious and yummy. Would def come out for another event and other drinks in the near future. read more

I'm sooo excited to have a viva la boba in Redlands! They make the BEST drinks hands down, and are exceptionally friendly every time we come. I love their unique and expansive selection of drinks, and that there are endless possibilities for customizations. My favorites are the moonmilk and the taro cold brew.

This was such a treat and surprise to discover! Came here to the J-Hope cupsleeve event by Inland Empire BTS Army group, just before Hobi's LA concert in April. The drinks here are amazing! A nice spot big enough to hold an event, several booths with enough seating too. Not bad! They are very much a customizable drink spot. I tried their jamaica juice with strawberry syrup and boba. Perfect and no caffeine! I also got a drink to-go, the seasonal special date molasses cream with brown sugar syrup black tea and boba!! So good!! My husband loved it. Looking forward to coming back here! read more

You know it's going to be a good time when you get hit with the wonderful smell of fresh boba right when you walk in the door. I grew up in Rowland Heights so let's just say I have a high standard when it comes to my boba and tea. Ever since moving to Redlands, I have been anticipating the arrival of Viva La Boba. It was worth the wait! First off, the space is beautifully designed - bright and open, with plenty of comfortable seating (and different seating options). It's a great place to study or work. There are a ton of outlets to plug in your laptop and the wifi is fast. They have a huge menu with a great selection of unique drinks. I've tried a handful of them and so far my favorite is the PB&J. The staff is also friendly and super helpful. If you're getting boba anywhere in the IE, definitely worth checking out Viva La Boba Redlands or San Bernardino! :) read more

Viva La Boba is hands down my favorite spot in town! The drinks are so delicious, and they have such a wide variety--from refreshing teas and creamy milk options to unique seasonal specials that always hit the spot. The vibe here is unmatched--the ambience is chill, welcoming, and just makes you want to hang out for a while. But what really makes this place special is the staff. Everyone is genuinely friendly, warm, and treats you like family the moment you walk in. They're always so generous and go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your order. You can feel the passion and care behind everything they serve. Whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time, Viva La Boba is the place to go. Flavor, atmosphere, and amazing people--what more could you want? read more

I cannot applaud this business enough. I always love the drinks I get. They are always so clean. Theres always events posted and things to do. They always support their local community however they can. Tonight, i didn't know what drink to get. The person behind the counter helped me by making recommendations, discussing ingredients, and checking with me on what I preferred to ensure I got an amazing drink. This is a great business to support and a business that does great work in creating a welcoming space. Cannot celebrate them enough! read more

Get your Boba oven behind in here. They have a huge variety on the menu. Black tea, fruit, tea, slushy, smoothies, coffee, seasonal flavors, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches. For vegans they have oat milk. Gluten-free, they have a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. The space has a great feeling and there's plenty of space to sit down and study and stay a while. The customer service was great. The woman that helped me was ready and willing to answer questions and make suggestions. I will definitely be back. read more

Viva La Boba - Cute lid and sustainable straw - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redlands, California

My husband and I had coupons for Viva La Boba, so we decided to check it out. Upon entering, I was surprised by how spacious the shop is. There is plenty of lighting, space, and outlets for people to work here should they need a spot. Lots of different drink options. I ordered the Jamaica iced tea and added boba (I loved that I could get this unsweetened). I wish they had more options to be decaf and unsweetened. My husband ordered a Thai milk tea with boba. His milk tea was perfectly creamy. The staff here were friendly and quick. I would recommend if you're looking for some boba! read more

Viva La Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redlands, California

I am thrilled Viva La Boba has expanded! I've visited their San Bernardino location a handful of times when visiting friends in the IE and am excited this Redlands location has opened! My friends live much closer to this location and we visited during their soft opening. Having visited before I knew which drinks I like, but I decided to try something new! I wanted something creamy and caramel-y. With the help of the barista, I was recommended a horchata with caramel. The sweet and creamy horchata was elevated by the caramel, making it deliciously rich. Thank you to the friendly and helpful staff for the recommendation! The modern minimalist design with lots of comfortable seating is a great vibe for catching up with friends, or getting some work done. Street parking was fairly easy on Stuart, and on our next visit to Redlands we will definitely be returning! Looking forward to them officially opening! read more

I've been going to Viva since they first opened up in San Bernardino. My favorite drink is IE sunset that's sooooo refreshing to drink during the summer! Thank you for coming to Redlands and creating an inclusive space! read more

Having been to many boba and tea shops in the greater LA area it's always great to find another one to try! Maybe it's because they are still not fully open (no square space online ordering available for this location) but the menu in the store is cryptic at best. Just the name of the drink and no description of what it is or how much it costs. Furthermore at nearly 2:30pm on a Saturday they didn't even have brown sugar boba as a topping which is bizarre given the name of the shop. The thai tea which many people have said is great at the SB location tasted terrible. Turns out I was charged extra for the heavy cream (not even condensed milk which is what I'd assume to get) for a whopping 90 cents more. The thai tea itself tastes basically like water with no sweetness and barely any spices detectable. Moving on to the smoothie. This one isn't as bad as the other drink but still tastes way too sweet. It's also a mystery as to how it's vegan and what the base plant based milk used was. The cashier never mentioned if the sweetness could be controlled in either drink nor is it mentioned anywhere in the store. It's a nice place and ambiance overall inside for sure. However after dropping nearly $14.50 on two 16 Oz drinks (without even boba which wasn't available) this doesn't feel premium luxuiorus or worth the price. Having been to various locations in SGV where the teas taste fresh premium and high quality this isn't one of them. At best you could say they are barely on par with kung fu tea down the street which is sad when you factor in their price. Hope they can improve. I'd move on to another location unfortunately. read more

Viva La Boba - Thai tea and Pina colada smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Redlands, California

I'm so excited that this location is finally open! I like that they are ran by locals so they truly care and give back to the community! Their staff is also super friendly and accommodating! They always offer to adjust my drinks if it's not to my liking, which is never a case! The drinks are always spot on! I love that this location has plenty of seating and is unique from the SB location. It definitely embodies the small town charm and spirit that Redlands has always proudly claimed. They are also literally a block from the Downtown Redlands Arrow station so you can grab a drink or two to keep you hydrated and energized for your trip! This location also has two signature drinks the Orange Blossom and the RFM Creamsicle! I highly recommend the RFM Creamsicle, not only is it super refreshing but a portion of its proceeds go to a fantastic cause in helping the unhoused! Definitely check them out! read more

Finally had a chance to take my boba loving daughter here. This place is CLEAN and very spacious. My daughter had the horchata matcha boba 16oz. She said it was pretty good. The girls working were very nice and the drink came out quick. I had to run to use their restroom and it was CLEAN!!!!!! We will be back. What a cute spot who supports causes that my family also supports. read more

i got the taro smoothie with boba here. the boba here is really small compared to other places with bigger bobas. very sweet, which i dont really like. The prices are actually insane. $9 total for my 24oz drink with boba. I know places where i could get it cheaper and better quality. Very americanized boba place. worth a try, but not really would come back here. read more

The drinks are fun and unique, but this review is 5 stars especially because I appreciate Viva La Boba so much as a community space. Not just for the awesome events and artists they host, but also because they are the only places in the area I can go to after dinner to work on stuff after 8PM! Great work tables and the booths are so nice and deep. Highly appreciate the chairs with back support. And having so many outlets!! If you are in need of a study spot, this is the place to go! The staff are always very nice too and help me pick out a drink when I'm not sure. read more

Great spot, bought my first skateboard in this space back in the day but now I'll be buying tea. Happy to see a small business thrive again!

I am a milk tea lover, I tried all milk tea places in Redlands, but the experience here was not pleasant. Employee is lack of training, not familiar with milk options. There was no sweetener added to my milk tea. I was told they gonna make me a new one, received the same cup with lid peeled off, sweetener added in without shaking, all at the bottom. Brown sugar boba is hard inside and does not taste sweet. The cup is very soft, milk tea comes out easily. I gave 3 stars because it's a new shop. I hope the owner sees my review and makes it better. read more

Viva is one of my favorite boba places, I legitimately didn't even like boba until I started going to their original spot in San Bernardino. Super happy this Redlands locations is now open.

Best of all they really care about the communities in their neighborhood and are always having awesome events. 10/10 read more

I've been to the San Bernardino location and eagerly awaited their Redlands opening. Drinks and pastries were tasty and their service was friendly and courteous. I love the community focus and look forward to supporting the business. I came in during soft opening and thought the ambiance was as a bit stark and very clean. Request: I would greatly appreciate more non-caffeinated boba options for us low-caffeine tolerance peeps. Cheers! read more
