With the Riverside Food Lab in downtown Riverside being the latest great place to eat, vegan food may seem like the last thing you’d want to order there. After all, when people picture vegan food, they picture salads, soy and bland flavors. Monty’s Good Burger fights this stereotype, presenting customers with an In-N-Out style meal with the added...

Everyone who likes boba and goes to UCR knows that you can’t go wrong with Boba Tea House. They seem to have just about every flavor of milk tea, fruit tea or smoothie, and something I appreciate about their wide selection is that the items aren’t just a repetition of the same ingredients to make interesting-sounding combinations. Instead, the...

I had always been curious about 5s' Teas. Like everyone else at UCR, I had only ever known Boba Tea House, Boba Fiend and a few other boba shops located on University Avenue (there are at least three). 5s' Teas is on Indiana Avenue and seven miles away from UCR, whereas the closest boba place to UCR,...

Some stick with the classics, others go for something more adventurous. If you’re looking for an exciting new flavor combination that you've never tried before, Zero X is the place to visit next.
Just as they have a series of drinks with “twist” in the name (Mangonada with Twist, Pink Guava Mojito with Twist, etc.), their items are unexpected takes...
Buku Bowls, the newest entry in UCR’s food truck lineup, is, to put it simply, the restaurant UCR deserves. Announcing itself with its bold orange and black color scheme in its Bell Tower and Sproul Hall locations, Buku is an exciting take on the campus food truck concept, and its affordable offering of customizable bowls with a veritable selection...

When Ding Tea opened on University Avenue in July, ecstatic boba fans across Riverside suddenly left their Boba Tea House and Boba Fiend drinks behind and headed straight for the highly esteemed new competitor. Ding Tea in Riverside is located in a desolate, largely unoccupied building, but the unsightly exterior didn’t seem to interfere with...

In September 2018, when Roasting Water opened its Riverside location on Chicago Avenue (about two miles away from campus), bottles of fruit-filled and creamy-colored beverages began popping up all around UCR students’ social media feeds faster than boba being delightfully sucked up through a straw. These bottles were adorned with charming drawings of animals and...

Boba has become the modern college student’s best study companion, rivaling even coffee: a motivation-boosting little treat that contains just enough sweetness to raise the morale and energy of any studier. There are nine boba shops in close proximity to UCR, comparable to the number of coffee spots in the area. Although some of these boba...
