Food & Drinks
Black tea and oolong tea blend brewed at 90F and steeped for 12 minutes for ultimate flavor. Served with milk or without.
Steeped at 76F for 7 minutes for that perfectly delicate flavor that green tea is known for. Served with milk or without.
A classic Mexican hibiscus tea that pairs excellently with lemonade and aloe jelly for a sweet, summery drink. Typically not served with milk, but can be if requested.
A classic Indian tea made Kerala style, using the secret recipe passed down in the founder's family. Authentic chai, though we recommend adding boba for a modern twist. (Contains Organic Honey)
Everyone's favorite boba drink!
Classic Mexican Horchata, but Asian milk tea style! Horchata is made traditionally with rice milk, but the syrup we use is made with a small amount of whole milk. Sorry, vegan customers :( Also available is our plain horchata served without additional black tea.
Naturally caffeine free, this bright blue floral tea turns purple when paired with lemonade, but is also great iced + a fruit syrup added or served hot + lavender syrup!

Pretty good drinks with a nice atmosphere! Love the books
Our first time here and we loved it! We’ll be back for sure! They have great boba, and so many drink options, flavors, toppings!! The girl who helped us was super sweet:) #ilovesanbernardino
I stopped by based on a recommendation and it was definitely worth the stop. I got a milkshake and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was welcoming and friendly and the service was very fast.
I don't usually get coffee from them I occasionally treat mysef to a cold drink if it's warm.I've been a customer since they first opened, the staff is always warm and courteous. I definitely recommend to friends.
I work down the street at a volunteer dental office, and dropped by on a hot day to pick up a smoothie. I love the fact that Viva La Boba promotes other small businesses in the area with their business card wall. I came on a slower mid-afternoon shift, and so the drink was made quickly! Tasted as great as they advertised on the "Barista's Recommendations." Being part of downtown, there was street parking available, but I'd imagine if I came at a busier time, it may be hard to find parking! Definitely will be back!
This is THE place for all boba or in my case matcha needs. Forget Starbucks’ matcha, and that’s coming from an ex barista ;) I NEED one of those cute matcha hats! Congrats on Redlands branch but my fav will be the downtown San Bernardino one with the little free library.
I loved this place. The brown sugar Boba was well cooked, and flavorful! I ordered the Thai tea w/ oat milk, and my wife ordered the green tea w/ oat milk. The teas were both not very sweet, which I liked! They serve drinks with plastic free sugarcane straws! And if you bring your own container, you can get a 10% discount! That's awesome. The interior art is great. I love that they're embracing San Bernardino with a mural of the city inside, and Mexican style art. They are women owned and the staff were super friendly! I will be back with friends.
The service is amazing!! Gabrielle attended us so good and let one of my friends taste the tea before ordering since it was her first time! Will come back for sure!
I love Viva La Boba! This Boba shop makes me smile. The drinks are fantastic and the atmosphere is awesome. Plus the menu is fun and unique! I have been twice and can't wait to return. A friend of mine recently treated me to the Iced Coffee at Viva La Boba and it was amazing! If you like coffee, you have to try it. I highly recommend this delicious Boba shop!
Update #2 11-29 These ladies are rockstar! Always and I mean always friendly, chatty and beautiful. This must be the happiest place to work because it shows in their demeanor. I love this small business and will always support it, and in my opinion you should too!. Update: 9-26 Dropped by again and what can I say? Another great experience, the Banana Cream Pie with Boba was delicious and the lovely lady behind the counter was awesome. Cannot recommend enough. It reminds me of a small little college coffee shop where artistic and intelligent conversations can be had. It's quaint, comfortable and a great place to just chill in downtown San Bernardino. The beautiful young woman behind the counter was very warm and friendly. Honestly a sweetheart with an incredible smile. She recommended the strawberry banana smoothie and she was right. It was delicious! I recommend some strawberry popping Boba thrown in for that little extra sweetness.
