About Boba Cafe

Located at 1223 University Ave, Riverside, CA 92507, Boba Cafe operates as a bubble tea serving Riverside in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

Hours at these spots often run into the evening, later than a typical coffee shop, and many stay open on weekends when demand is highest in Riverside. Seasonal and limited-time drink or dessert flavors are common, so a shop's current menu can differ from what is posted online; checking recent photos or calling ahead helps. Some locations in California are dessert-only with no seating, meant for takeout, while others have cafe-style seating for staying a while. Straws for bubble tea are typically wide to accommodate the toppings, and are provided automatically unless you ask for a regular one. Loyalty apps and stamp cards are common at chain locations, and ordering ahead through an app can shorten a wait considerably at busy locations during peak after-school and after-dinner hours.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–11 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Boba Cafe at (951) 680-9998; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is boba-cafe.local-cafes.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 493 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded bubble tea in Riverside.

This is my go-to at least once a week. The food is always cooked fresh, great flavor to everything, and a huge variety of food on their menu. The staff is very friendly and it's usually pretty mellow inside, with plenty of seating.

(3/17/25) I ordered chicken fried rice. It tasted funny. I cut up a few pieces of chicken to find it to be pink, raw looking texture, and overall had undercooked taste. My stomach feels terrible right now. I called them and they offered me a free one next time, not sure if I want that offer after this. order at ur own risk !

Delicious food EVERY time. Definitely recommend any variation of the knife cut noodles, the mapo tofu and the the snow veggie pork dishes. Also the passion fruit tea is to die for. If I lived closer I’d be here every day.
