Crema's Take
“Hoji Tea Room elevates boba beyond the typical sugar bomb with carefully sourced teas like matcha yabukita and barley that actually taste like themselves, paired with perfectly chewy boba that justifies the name. The drinks strike an unusually sophisticated balance of flavors for a bubble tea shop, appealing to people who want genuine tea craftsmanship rather than a dessert delivery vehicle. If you're tired of cloying, one-note boba spots, this gem punches well above what you'd expect from a Redlands location.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Dog friendly.

Hoji Tea Room is the cutest little tea shop! The drinks here are catered to those with more of an acquired taste. The flavors are unique and definitely lean into the tea aspect of typical boba drinks. This place is also cute for pictures as well! The walls are decorated with art…
