Tastea
11130 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“Tastea is a family-friendly spot in Riverside where creative specialty drinks and matcha tea are the real draw, with staff who genuinely care about customizing orders for dietary needs and taste preferences. The kitchen closes early at 9:15 pm, so timing your visit for an afternoon treat works best—come for their surprisingly delicious signature creative drinks and light bites when the team is fresh and the quality shines.”

Tells customer over the phone kitchen closes at 9:15 pm. Arrived at 9:07 pm, I can’t place order, because staff is cleaning early and employee didn’t inform other employee what they said over the phone. Might as well tell customer kitchen was already close. Not sure what’s going on but the Tastea app isn’t working either nor the website to place orders.
The crème brûlée was unfortunately burnt, and the tea came unsweetened even though I ordered the regular sweet one. Not the same quality as before — super disappointing overall.
We went with my husband to get their popcorn chicken and shrimp which tasted very good but the only thing is that most of the popcorn chicken was like bits and pieces at the bottom which is mostly breading . But the strawberry sensation was very tasty .
Really helpful customer service. We were able to order dairy free drinks for those in our party who needed milk alternatives and able to adjust sweetness for our kiddos.
Wow, surprisingly delicious! Came here on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30 pm. Only 2 staff members were working, and right before we were about to order, the staff taking our order asked if it was okay if we waited at least 5-10 minutes before our drink was made, which was considerate! Lo and behold, it was evident because they had a swarm of online orders, and I believe 8+ drinks were made before they eventually started making ours. We all got classic boba milk tea, with their famous green-colored honey boba. Fun fact: their classic BMT contains non-dairy creamer! You can adjust: - sweetness level - ice level - milk type - cup size ...and more! It was SO YUMMY! Despite the wait (which we were kindly informed beforehand and were not in a rush anyway), it was a 10 out of 10 experience--from ordering, to how delicious our drinks were. My cousins loved their Karate Chicken which was a large portion. Definitely coming back again!! Highly recommend trying! Their boba was so uniquely matcha green colored, so chewy, fresh, and tasty! Literally taste-ea (haha)
