7 Leaves Cafe

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

Always greeted with friendly customer service, and leave with the best vietnamese coffee I've had. Don't miss out on 7 leaves

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.

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.

Keilani was so quick to help me find an order for me and my coworkers! She was so kind and quick to answer any questions I had, as well as made sure that since I was bringing the drinks to work the next day, offered to have no ice in the drinks so they don’t get watered down! The overall vibe of the place is very study friendly with tons of seating and music that isn’t too loud. I’d definitely come back here. They also have a healthcare discount! Late hours means good coffees for late at night/late study sessions. You won’t regret getting coffee here! Thank you Keilani and 7 leaves team!

After trying boba milk and fruit teas in many shops, 7 Leaves comes out as one of the most authentic. They even have a kitchen in the back where they cook the taro and mung beans etc so that their taro milk tea doesn’t just come from a “powder” but from actual taro. I believe they even have a specialist in charge of quality control of their teas. All in all, they use authentic and high quality materials. It is totally worth the drive to find a 7 Leaves. So next time you order a taro milk tea for example, elsewhere, watch them add the taro powder to the milk. Ask them where the powder comes from …. You’ll want to go back to 7 Leaves and get authentic tea with authentic food ingredients.

The girl working at the front this afternoon was super kind, helpful, made suggestions, and overall provided a great experience. Give her a raise! I’ve been going to 7 Leaves since their first location in Westminster and across OC so I’ve met a handful of employees.

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 !

Literally would be here daily if I lived in Riverside. Great coffee and Great customer service. Always enjoy their house coffee ❤️ The perfect drink!

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 😃

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.

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 !

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.

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.

wish they had more customization, but the jasmine tea w/aloe was great (also dont get summer mint unless you like minty lemons)

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

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

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!

Okay at first the boba was good in the beginning then it started tasting like salt and dish soap at the bottom. They didn’t give that much boba either. Service was good though.

the staff here is very kind! i think the flavors that they offer here are just not for me! i always try something new and i end up not liking it. i like the macarons though!

Their coffee is great.. their tea is not so good... They should be pulling strong shots of tea. They should be making boba fresh daily from tapioca flour not cooking 4 month old boba. Limited menu, could be expanded greatly.

From the aesthetics of their drink pictures I was definitely expecting more from the drinks. Ordered four drinks that included sea cream black coffee, sea cream jasmine tea, Strawberry hibiscus and the Japanese Matcha Tea. The drinks were alright,a little watered down. The tea flavors from the drinks were light not true to taste.Boba was not the best but edible.

3 stars because I was genuinely disappointed in their jasmine milk tea. Usually folks use a green tea base but this must have been black. The black tea was bitter and overpowered the usually soothing jasmine taste. My sister really liked what she got (cant remember) and the service was great. Just don't get the jasmine milk tea

This is my go to spot for Vietnamese coffee. It’s so delicious and everyone I’ve shared this location with was satisfied with the coffee as well. I have not had the best of luck with Tea/Fruit Juices though. I ordered a Strawberry Hibiscus with Honey Boba and was slightly disappointed. The flavor was great but I kept getting bits of brown stuff which I’m assuming is the apples. The lime and fruits did not look fresh or appetizing, but rather soggy and old :( This will not deter me from coming back for coffee, but I will not buy tea at this location again. The service is always great so there are no complaints there.

They don't serve hot tea. They don't let you know that ahead of time. The cold Jasmine tea in 40° weather was... fine.

This place irritates the heck out of me. 7leaves used to have my drink out literally 30seconds after I ordered it. Idk if it's something new but the employees are all talking in the back lolly gagging. Just make the drinks and get them out ASAP like you used to. Pretend you care about you're customers

I’ve come to like 7 leaves as a nice alternative to large chain coffee shops. However, I had a very rude experience where I asked about my drink that was not sitting on the order pickup table. Esmeralda was stone faced and mute while she shook her head with a frown. Only to retrieve the drink sitting on the counter behind her. No customer service skills whatsoever.

The service was good as always, but the last two times I’ve gone they were out of boba. I got the Summer Mint tea with grass jelly instead, which I’ve had before, and it tasted very off. Both the tea and the jelly were bad, not tasting at all like they have in the past when I’ve ordered them. Not sure if they’re going through a slump because usually this location is great!

$6 drink. I asked for easy ice. Explain to me how this is easy ice.

I got charged $10 for these coffees. I asked for no ice. That’s nice. I got no ice or coffee. This is sad.

Today I went there to get the strawberry hibiscus. Hardly had any hibiscus leaves. I really like to chew them when done with my drink. Unfortunately, I am not happy to see they put a little over HALF of ice and I get about 7 oz of tea in a 20oz cup if I plan to order with no ice in their 20 oz cup they only give me about half the tea. It's kinda disappointing. I pay too much for just getting half the cup instead of a full cup.

I am a faithful 7 leaves customer. I got my usual when I went here - mung bean and taro drink. I have had this drink regularly for the past decade, probably anywhere from 7-10 times each year when I’m in the area. But I was very disappointed with the drinks here it didn’t taste like it usually does. The Mung bean drink was much more diluted and had an odd taste. It’s like they added way too much water to it. The taro drink tasted like powder, I didn’t taste any real taro. In addition, I ordered less ice and I didn’t get less ice. I asked them to remake it with less ice and it looked the same. I was tired of waiting so just got the drinks and left. Needless to say I will not return to this 7 leaves location.
