Viva La Boba — Restaurant in Redlands

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Viva La Boba is one of the best boba spots in the Inland Empire period. I regularly visit both the San Bernardino and Redlands locations, and the drinks are always consistent, flavorful, and made with care. The boba texture? Perfect. The service? Always warm, friendly, and genuine.

But what really makes Viva La Boba stand out is the way they show up for the community. This isn’t just a boba shop it’s a space where inclusion, creativity, and good vibes thrive. They host awesome events, uplift local artists and small businesses, and unapologetically create a safe space for everyone.

The owners are some of the kindest, most community focused people around. You can feel the love they pour into every detail from the drinks to the environment. Supporting Viva La Boba isn’t just about getting great boba (though you absolutely will), it’s about backing a business that’s doing it with heart, intention, and integrity.

Had such high hopes for this place but was severely disappointed. I ordered a Thai tea which is such a basic tea. My tea only tasted like milk. Has absolutely no sweetness and definitely didn’t taste like tea at all. It tasted like 2% milk or something. I pretty much just got colored milk. My 24oz drink without boba was $8 which is pricey compared to local boba spots. They also only use a cashless system which doesn’t always cash only people to get a drink or snack there. There were 2 staff on duty and one of them was just on her phone didn’t look happy or anything. Would definitely not go back or recommend this spot to anyone given that they couldn’t get the most basic drink flavor down. Also the parking is mess. There are a few spots to park on the side of it but people from Septembers park there. And Oriellys has made it very clear you can’t park in many spots. During a busy day, good luck...

So excited Viva La Boba is coming to Redlands!! I'm not a coffee drinker at all but their cold brew is real tasty and literally saved me from major jetlag woes. All their tea flavors are delicious and super customizable - the taro is my FAVORITE - AND they brew their boba fresh daily which is so worth it! The owners and staff are lovely and friendly and really care about their customers and the community. We love a local business but especially a shop like Tansu & David's that works hard to give back too. My dad's been in Redlands since 1964 and it meant so much to us to see the way they're honoring the building/lot's history. It's also super spacious and bright with so much personality - perfect place to catch up with friends or...
