7 leaves has always hands down been my favorite cafe. Also the manager at this location knows what they're doing because every single person working here is so ethereally attractive! While also being friendly and NEVER off putting I have gotten nothing but consistently friendly and respectful service.

Very cozy place to be there but it's okay 😊

Service here is always great, efficient,and with a smile 😊. Haven't tried everything here yet but the house coffee is my go-to to get my day going and the strawberry hibiscus tea is the drink to get fruity refreshment. I've been told it's something of a process, but I really do wish they had their hot coffee machine fixed. Heard it's been out of service since the beginning: UPDATE. They have working hot coffee and it's great 😃

Excellent customer service! Worker was very nice when taking my order! I have never had a negative experience coming to this location.
A friend brought me here, and the coffee is amazing, but very strong, so be careful with buying a large if you've already had coffee at home, but maybe that's just me. The flavor is delicious and they have both coffee and tea drinks. I want to highlight that I left my purse there, and when I called about it that evening, they told me that they had it and saved it until I could come back the next day. Extra kudos for their honesty and helpfulness. Thank you!

THE BEST COFFEE I HAVE EVER HAD! The quality of the coffee is amazing. I wish they would make a location in the Coachella valley !
Holy hell. The Vietnamese coffee here is probably the best coffee I've ever had. How quickly they get the orders prepared is also super impressive. And the overall vibe of the place is super upbeat, all the workers seem to love their job and that's all you can ask for. My favorite.
My favorite coffee spot ever when i need an extra boost of caffeine !! Way better than starbs/dunkin
I would like to applaud the young African American women behind the register, who just now handled an upset customer (who said she had been waiting and her ice was melting...she had not been waiting any longer than those already there, you took my order and she got there after me) with the upmost grace and compassion. Beautiful! Chefs kiss!
7 Leaves offers plenty of quality milk teas & tea options.
Enjoyed their green thai tea & jasmine milk tea.
Located in the UVT towers and service is quick and mainly ran by fellow UCR students. Not much seating but there is a strip of seats available as you're waiting for your order.

New Latte menu is out🤩
House coffee, Vietnamese coffee and sea salt jasmine tea are my fav!! The store is quite small and always crowded which is a bit disappointing.

The people at this establishment did phenomenal. They were very accommodating, and made sure to welcome each of the customers. Not only that, but the drinks were exceptional ! Kinsey, Jovan, and Kimberly had great customer skills. I felt inspired to get more matcha ! I will be coming back !
The workers Jovan, Kinsey, and Kimberly at this cafe were excellent. Their service was friendly and very pleasant with great communication. The drinks were some of the best that have ever come in contact with my taste buds and I will soon return back to this place.
We order the Vietnamese coffee every Friday and it always comes out perfectly sweet and STRONG! Love it here.
First time coming to 7 leaves cafe my coffee is very delicious the macaroons I had the pistachio one very delicious. My niece had the strawberry macaroon she loved. It will definitely come back here The service was great and he was also polite
I ordered the iced house coffee and a chocolate macaron for my daughter. The iced house coffee was delicious, my daughter said the macaron was just ok. The service was quick and I received my order in under two minutes. When I'm in the area I will visit again.

The Assam Milk Tea was decent, wish it had more milk. Update** they were happy to add more milk!! Overall a chill place, service was good and the space was clean. Check them out!
love 7 leaves!!! their mung bean milk tea is to die for!!! it's so addicting. i usually get it with grass jelly. it's so freaking good!
My husband literally gets Vietnamese coffee everyday and I normally love the house coffee. Not only are the drinks top tier but so is the service. We always take our daughter so she can walk around and socialize. She's almost two and 7 leaves is like her second home. When she's not in a mood she loves to say hi to the 7 leaves crew. She also loves the little cat statue and hedgehog decorations.
Overall, this place is the best all around all year round.

People that work there are the best. I was stranded my car broke down in 107heat and they let me sit there until my daughter got there. Everyone so kind and helpful and I've been telling everyone about 7 leaves cafe the beat ever
Ever since we moved to Riverside, I have been missing 7 Leaves. I am so glad they have one right here!! It's in a plaza near UCR. They have lots of other food options too. The 7 Leaves is at the very front of the plaza on the right.

Parking is challenging because they have free 90 minute parking, but there is a fee the minute after that. They do not validate.
There is both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can pick what works for you.
7 Leaves always has amazingly kind staff, so it makes me 10x more willing to support their business.
I always get the Sea Cream Jasmine - my favorite!!!

My coworker recommended me this place ( he named lots of tea and bakery places but all far away .....) first we were expecting it's a bakery so we can order some drink with some snacks , actually it's not !

Fortunately the drink we order all taste good , the taro milk tea is a standard flavor to me , the sunset passion tea is a little too sweet but I like the way
This must be a well known place , during the time they consistently have walking customers , if we have one near by my neighborhood, definitely will be a regular

Great refreshers!
The best coffee...and macarons! The service is always grea. I only wish I had one near me..nice chill environment! Nice strong coffee and perfectly sweet!!
Rolando
Always get the Taro drink. Since it does not come from a powder, but from the taro root, (according to their website). Either way it's delicious I recommend this spot
Manny Mota
Always 5 stars
David Carmona
Best consistent oolong tea available
Service 10/10. Workers are attentive and greeted us as soon as we walked in. When we got there it was busy put workers were speed demons. We probably waited for 3 minutes for our drink. great service and delicious affordable drinks. Their house coffee is bomb would recommend. keeping being awesome
Myn Black
Loooove this place, ugh, the flavors are so good. I love the oolong milk tea and the iced house coffee. I never have any issues with consistency.
Stopped by here to grab my favorite mung bean drink!!! Came later in the day and it was super busy.
Ethan
Had a green thai tea! Pretty good.
Janethe Ramos
Best coffee in the area!
Lucy Brunolli
Love this place
Brandon Leuangpaseuth
Good boba after a meal. They have different variations of the milk tea. Really good. Come try it out
This boba spot is consistent and good. It's by a university so lots of students come here and a lot of fundraisers are held here so it can be packed time to time. One of my favorite drinks is the Sea Cream Jasmine Tea!

Best matcha i’ve had (,:

Edit 06/04/2023 Secret menu is now on the app and I always recomend people to adjust your sweetness levels on the drinks. For example i get easy sea cream and easy sweet. Edit 04/21/2022 Still a great place for tea and coffee. It hasn't really changed too much besides adding tables and chairs inside and out and giving it a bit more of a sit down cafe feel. Got a sea salt coffee and mung bean milk tea. The coffee is nice and not sweet with the solid Vietnamese coffee flavor I expect. The mung bean tea is the hidden star as it's so delicious. The consistency is a lot denser, like a taro milk tea. I'm so happy we have this place in Riverside now. Still enjoying the place years later as a consistent staple of a good tea/coffee shop here. Another update of Feb 2022 and it's still my go to place. House coffee is delicious and creamy and drinks like the strawberry sunset and sea salt jasmine tea are my favorites.
Decent 7 Leaves. There's some seating inside and there's a restroom as well, just gotta ask for the pass code.

Cafe style have 4-5 small tables as waiting area order at counter and they will call your name when drink is ready Price is cheaper than orther store Favor is a good blend, they have 2 size Regular and jumbo ( huge ) Simple Ambiance
I've never been boba's biggest fan (like don't get me wrong I like it but would never go out of my way for it) but this sunset passion drink is SO GOOD
I know 7 Leaves is a chain in LA but this was my first time trying it. I'm hooked. I got it everyday while I was visiting my friends here in Riverside. I tried the Jasmine Sea Cream on my first day because it was recommended my two of my boba connoisseur friends. The Jasmine is such a perfect floral tea and the sea cream is delicious, I don't like cheese foam so this was a pleasant cream topping I can finally enjoy! The next 2 days I tried the Assam black milk tea and green Thai tea, both very very good. The green Thai tea was surprisingly floraly as well.

7 Leaves Cafe is located at University Village (“The U.V.”) right off the 60 Freeway and University exit. This is a small boba shop that occupies the once-Starbucks location but there’s plenty of parking spaces here and the staff are friendly. My go-to drink is the Strawberry Hibiscus Tea because it has a smooth taste. And I like that it’s freshly brewed iced tea. The added lime gives it a refreshing taste. And it’s consistent from the other 7 Leaves Cafe locations I’ve ordered from, such as Chino Hills and Garden Grove. Overall, if you enjoy fresh brewed tea over ice, this is your next stop. Enjoy!
Peter Roberts
Love the Vietnamese coffee
Mel
Every time I stop by University Village I make sure to come here. The taro milk tea with boba is amazing!
Daniela Alvarado
This place is so cute and the menu is small but with a lot of options and they have macaroons!! We asked the girl at the registrar what’s their most popular item as she said the House coffee so that’s what we got and oh my gosh it was delicious! So so good and I think the top has a cheese foam but it was all so good!
Lorena De La Huerta
Enjoy a family time with their delicious drink my favorite chai tea and also their strawberry pasión drink
Alex
Quality flavors that most shops don't offer like mungbean that may seem strange to some but are complete bangers. Boba is always nice and soft.

Great coffee! Vietnamese coffee with sea cream is my go to. Haven’t really tried anything else since that drink is so good.
Arslan Zaman

Always great Vietnamese coffee

House coffee never disappoints! My #1 go to spot for that morning or evening pick me up.
Ellen Shepherd
This place is amazing, I am addicted to the house coffees with boba. I’ve tried quite a few of the things on the menu and everything has been so good. Also everyone who works here is so lovely, highly recommend giving this place a try!!
Tommy Trucker
Had the sunset passion juice. It was great.
Jc Williams
One of my favorite locations. The staff is always outgoing.
Herbert N
So I really got to give it to this establishment really great service and I honestly feel that the coffee also taste amazing. This is the third time that I try 7 leaves and thus far I am very impressed. I would suggest that you try the house blend, which is my favorite definitely a different spin on coffee from the traditional Starbucks. This particular location in Riverside also has a nice area where you can sit outside and enjoy your coffee as well as walk around a bit.
Wendy Zentz
Great customer service, I asked to change my order as they were preparing it and 'no problem' was the response. Teas were amazing. Huge thumbs up 😊😊
Vee
Good customer service and amazing drinks!
Rebecca Williams
I cannot get enough of the green Thai tea. So good!
feesh
wish they had more customization, but the jasmine tea w/aloe was great (also dont get summer mint unless you like minty lemons)
Bill Irwin
Great food
Carlos
Great coffee and macaroons

I had the House Iced Coffee it was strong and not overly sweet. Definitely a new favorite.
Cynthia Q
The house coffee is the best!
Sajleen
My new favorite place to get Thai milk tea. Not everyone can get close to what it should taste like. They have a few more interesting flavors I will have to try. I have tried Thai Milk and Taro milk (note to self: don’t get boba. It’s distracting). My friend order Vietnamese coffee and she liked it. Convenient location, nice customer service. Avoid rush hours if you want faster service and use the app to order ahead.
Stephanie Swee
Delicious fresh tea. I love their Jasmine Milk Tea. Not a fan a sea cream, but it’s popular for other people.
Raeed Shaikh
Tea is very high quality and they maintain a simple menu
Andrea Cardenas
I come here every Saturday for a mobile order pick up. Friendly people working and delicious drinks! What more could I ask for
Vitaly Kolas
One of the best drink / boba cafes. My favorite is the taro milk tea with boba. Sooo good!

LOVEE the “Taro” & “Mung Bean” milk teas
Tawna Michel Dabney
OMGOSH the staff are mostly students and SO KIND & HELPFUL!! I've just come back to town & this spot is helping me to adjust (& supply my caffeine jolt 😆). Never had I tasted a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. I tried it and I'm hooked! YUM!
Tara Daniel
Good drinks, haven't fully sealed my boba the last three times though and it leaked everywhere. I'd give 5 stars if they sealed the drinks properly.

The teas here are amazing. Try asking for easy ice. You get more tea and it's just as cold. I personally enjoy the Thi Tea ☕ the best.
Mirian
Has replaced other boba places in the city. 7 Leaves drinks have a natural flavor 😋 We came Wednesday and tried Assam Milk Tea (black tea) light sweet and Oolong Milk tea and both are dangerously addicting, came back two days later. Outdoor seating available. Loving this place 💓 You can adjust sweetness levels. I usually ask for easy sweet but still a little too sweet for my liking. Other than that, the tea flavor in drinks is present 🍵

The matcha is better than anywhere else, the house and Vietnamese coffee are delicious!! The summer mint tea is refreshing and if you want something sweeter the sunset passion is good too! The employees are always nice, I wish they had these around like Starbucks.
Destiny Debban
We are visiting from Boise, Idaho and there are not any coffee shops like that over there!!! We loved it so much we went back for another cup!!!! Thank you guys so much!!!
Ivan C.
Very fast and modern. This 7 leaves location serves drinks and a limited number of snacks. If you want boba near UC Riverside, check out this location.

Brian (The Pilot)
Best coffee and tea in town. The matcha is amazing , the coffee is like jet fuel and the staff and service is amazing . Can’t beat the prices either !
Lilliana Gonzalez
Came in here for the first time today, and just walking in was pleasant! Very clean, and the cutest display of macaroons. The employees were absolutely sweet, and polite, and invited me to please come back soon. I had a traditional Iced Coffee, and all I can say is Starbucks who? Hands down the best iced coffee I have had, and I WILL BE BACK SOON!!! So good in fact I had to walk back into the store and let the employees know how delicious this iced coffee is...but I am sure they already know lol :)

All time favorite tea shop 😍 Simply THE BEST!.. Great customer service. Obviously so excited about this Amazing little tea shop and so happy to have 7 Leaves Cafe in Riverside now! Been a fan for a few years. This place is the real deal - No syrups used just real teas and delicious coffee drinks. My favs are the Summer Mint tea, Assam milk tea (extra sweet), house coffee, Mungbean and their Vietnamese coffee 💥💯 Their boba is always fresh and amazing. Oh and their fresh macroons are better tasting than some of the fancy bakeries I have visited. Try them if you go - my favs are the Earl grey and green tea!

This is a neat little coffee and tea shop. The staff are mostly students (GO HIGHLANDERS) and they are really friendly and helpful. The menu is unique and offer a variety of specialty drinks. I got the Carmel cream coffee and it was just great. They are within range of UCR's wifi, so if you are a student you can get a quick study session in. Indoor seating is limited to bar seating, however there are table outside.

Greg Alvarez
Cashier was really nice. I had a great experience here with costumer service and quality of drink.
Carolina Reaper
I came in this morning at 9am, and got the regular iced coffee (iced Vietnamese with sea salt creme and hazelnut, I think?) Staff was incredibly polite and extra friendly! In addition the drink was an affordable price and simply delicious. I just wanted to leave a review to thank the barista and cashier who served me. You guys really made my morning with your fabulous attitude and kind smiles. If there is a manager reading this, please reward your employees and relay my praises. Thank you 7 leaves and staff!
Dan Garcia
Just like every other place. Drinks are tasty and cashier's are nice.
Josh Hoerger
Stopped by for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised. Staff were very friendly, offering samples and recommendations. I opted to get the sea salt jasmine tea. Very flavorful and unique. Next time I think I'll try mung bean milk tea, which was quite good in the sample.
It's nice I like it

this is the best green tea latte with soy that I have ever tasted. the quality of the green tea is incredible its wonderfully sweet and chili and just perfection.
The Strawberry Hibiscus Tea is my go to for a refreshing drink thats not overly sweet. The little bits of tea and fruit give it a natural look and taste. Delicious!
The Assam Milk Tea was decent, wish it had more milk. Update** they were happy to add more milk!! Overall a chill place, service was good and the space was clean. Check them out!
