Moon milk
Chris H.

We ordered the moon milk drinks. It is milk with lavender syrup, blue tea and a touch of sea form. My moon milk was smooth and refreshing. Service was prompt and attentive. Ambiance was inviting and I would come back to this place.

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

Can't remember the names but one was matcha and the other was a banana drink. 10/10 for both.

Clean with friendly staff & most importantly delicious drinks. We added cbd to our drink which was a nice treat.

Menu board
Monty D.

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.

Regular milk tea with Brown sugar and boba.

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...

Moonmilk with strawberry jellies, moonmilk with boba, thai tea with boba

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. Out of the many boba places in town, this is THE spot!

Cupsleeve event for BTS' Jhope
Kristine J.

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!

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! :)

Emily A.

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?

I actually discovered this coffee shop by accident since I usually go to the pet shop next door,…read moreand it turned out to be one of the best finds ever. I have never experienced coffee like this before. It is 100% worth the stop. The banana latte is my go-to and honestly I have never wanted to try anything else. It is that good. But one time I told the owner I wanted something different, and he made me a chai latte that was just as amazing. You can tell they really care about what they're making. The espresso itself is perfection. It is smooth, no bitterness at all, and the quality is always consistent. Every time I go, it tastes just as good, if not better than the last. Coming from someone who used to drink Starbucks all the time, I can confidently say I will not be going back. I will always stop here instead. I LOVE this place and recommend it to everyone. Please support small businesses because places like this will seriously blow your mind.

Such a unique coffee spot right next to the freeway! I wanted a drink for my little road trip, and…read moreI'm glad to have Pop Clutch Coffee. It was one of the most unique drink options for an early morning. I had waltzed right in a few minutes after opening. The owner had barely put out the parking lot sign, when I had stepped out of my car. It's hidden inside the lot and if not the signs, I wouldn't have spotted it. Upon walking in, I noticed the catching art and design of the portafilter. I stared at the design and menu before ordering. I was the first customer of the day! The owner made small talk with me, but it was definitely pretty early. He was friendly and kind, as he was making my order. Watching him brew the coffee in front of me, while holding a casual conversation was a nice experience in the shop. He also gave me a coffee sleeve with my iced drink, just because I asked (I keep sleeves as part of a collection). The banana latte is strong. After drinking half of it, I can feel the caffeine hit, which is rare for sweet drinks. You can taste the coffee, banana, and milk. Definitely a bang for my buck. The overall aesthetic, taste, conversation, and price makes me want to visit again when needed!

Cute little shop located inside the Redlands Public Market! Love the convenience of its location,…read moreit's to the right of one of the main entrances meaning you can get one of those ten minute parkings in the front, grab your drink and leave. When I arrived it was one barista making drinks and taking orders (co worker was on break I assume) Point is he was very kind to acknowledge me and tell me he will be right with me. Within that time his co worker came back from break and took my order. She was kind to offer suggestions. My drink was ready super quick! Now for the drink, good quality matcha. I got the banana matcha on oat. You can taste bits of banana chunks. Drink can have a bit more ice to be colder. Shop was clean. Overall a good place to stop by for drinks!

After our sweet #5 stop at Take Ur Seat Lite (TUSL) in Redlands Public Market (RPM) on Memorial…read moreWeekend 2026, we needed a drink to rinse down all the savory foods from stops #1 Shrimp Corner, #2 Yugo Shokunin, #3 Beyond Biryani, and #4 Hen & Heifer. Tsoko Cafe (TC) is #6 on our food adventure's list and it's right next door to TUSL... perfect! TC is also one of the OG food vendors at RPM. Their signature drinks, matcha series, Tsoko latte series, milk teas, iced teas, and coffees are handcrafted with care and creativity. We still sat in front of TUSL. I ordered at the TC counter. Young lady behind the counter didn't show much expression except to take my order. Got Butterfly Pea Flower with peach flavor for my eldest daughter, House Brown Sugar Boba for my youngest daughter, and Halo-Halo for moi. We got our drinks quite swiftly. Both my daughters enjoyed their drinks, however, we were disappointed that about 2 inches of liquids were taken off from the top of their drinks just because we asked for no ice. It's a bummer when shops do that. As for my Halo-Halo, it was just okay. I felt it lacked sweetness and it was small for a $10+ drink. Probably won't order it again. Didn't get a bang for my buck. Anyway, if you're a drink enthusiast who desires delightful experiences, Tsoko Cafe may be the place for you. Come seek and celebrate with a refreshing drink. We'll return to try some of their other specialty drinks that may give more value for my money. Btw, NO CASH PAYMENT ACCEPTED! Note: Park for free at 101 W Stuart Ave. Very short walk to the market. Train tracks are between parking and market. Cross with care.

This cute, trendy coffee spot is nestled in downtown Redlands and is relatively new-ish. I…read morediscovered it on Instagram while searching for a new place to grab a tasty latte. To my surprise, I ended up trying a new drink that left quite the impression. On the barista's recommendation, I tried a roasted matcha drink called hojicha. The flavor was Salted Honeybee off their spring specialty drink menu and it tasted both delightful and unique. It had a slightly nutty, cocoa-like flavor that wasn't as earthy as regular matcha or as bold as coffee. The cold foam was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the drink. Definitely a great spot if you're looking to try something a little different than your usual coffee order!

Had an early birthday lunch here with my friend and her boyfriend, we all enjoyed our meals!…read more My friend ordered the French toast, her partner got the breakfast burrito, but they ended up switching because she liked his better! While her bf usually doesn't like lavender, he said the French toast was sweet enough that the lavender wasn't overpowering or too strong. I tried the Tuscan sammie, it was sooo good! Very light and juicy at the same time Fair warning, they don't bring the drinks to you, and we hadn't heard ours being called so they sat at the counter for a while oops! My friend and I were surprised because they put cinnamon on top of her hot cocoa and my iced mocha (I generally don't like cinnamon, so I wish I knew this beforehand to ask not to include it). Either ways, the drinks were rich and flavorful! They also made pretty latte art in the shape of a heart on my friend's bf's latte Our server was hilarious! He brought out plates and I was so excited thinking it was ours so I said "oh!" and he gently corrected me saying it was for the next table over. I was a little embarrassed so I stayed quiet when he brought our food, and he joked "you're not gonna say it this time?" BAHAH had our whole table laughing They accidentally gave us a grilled cheese instead of the Tuscan sandwich I had ordered, and fixed it for us before we even noticed. Strangely though, they took back the grilled cheese? We hadn't touched it, but it feels like a waste if they just tossed it, and I sure hope they didn't end up giving it to whoever had originally ordered it since it sat at our table for a few minutes...
