Sleepy Kitea Reviews

Sleepy Kitea is next to a place I frequent and I've always wanted to try but after I get a big o' coffee the last thing I want is another 20 oz of liquid. But today I went for coffee early and by the time I made it to the area I was good for a refill on my emotional support bevvy. I love fun tea places like this and even though it wasn't as hot as usual today, my pahtnah and I thought we could use some type of herbal refreshment so we pulled up. He's a lil h03 for Thai tea and he said it was the best he'd had in his 64 years of life. I went for the lychee with crystal boba and the homie behind the counter suggested I get either 0% or 25% sweetness because it was pretty sweet. Bring it was my first time and he seemed to know what he's was doing, I took his word for it and went with 25%. We didn't have to wait too long but it seems like a cool place to come hang out. There were people playing chess and these was a lil stack of other games to play. I'll definitely be back to try that strawberry green tea something or other.

true to its flavor! perfect hangout spot. there was quite a lot of parking, and a large list of options to order from. 10/10 for ambiance the person who took my order was super chill and accommodating as well. asked if i wanted anything changed to my order after i got the drink in hand too 10/10 for service the drink was actually quite good cus it tasted just like ube. I asked for 50% sweetness and they gave just that. the boba was undercooked tho so kinda hard to chew but the drink def gets 9/10 want to go back to try their other flavors!

First time here. The place is so dope. The colors is an attention grabber, I love it.You get greeted with nice employees. Really nice. The brown sugar milk tea is good. Only downside is that I requested not to have boba but they still put it anyways but no big deal I still enjoy it. I would recommend this place. It's a cool chill, hang out place as well.

Holy crap they are tasty. Came with 3 others and all 3 of us wanted to get 2nds. And we all got different things. I got a dulce de Leche frappe with bobba and it was superb. Its a super nerdy and awesome place with anime and video game art along the walls. I wish we could pick this up and move it much closer to where we live in LA

I have been coming here for the past couple of months and I have enjoyed several of their drinks. I loved them all. You can taste the freshness of the boba. I love the fact that most of their specialty drinks come with toppings, it's a plus! What makes the drinks better is the service! I have no complaints we are always greeted and treated kindly. I will continue to come here and try other drinks!

This is cute little kitty boba place The service was great. Ordered Peach green tea with crystal boba and peaches bits. Yum!

AMAZING BOBA SHOP IN RIVERSIDE! Located on Spruce street, it is a great place to sit and chat. We stopped by on our way to dinner and we were impressed by the quality, service, and taste. The barista was very friendly and suggested 3 amazing drinks. We went with all of their recommendations! The honeydew green tea was the best honeydew drink I have had in a while! It tasted very strong like honeydew but not in an artificial way! Green apple and orange drink were also exceptional. Service: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10 This is definitely a place to check out! Will continue to visit sleept kitea!

Purr-fect Thai tea! Glad I came. Small hidden boba shop in riverside. I called ahead to make sure they have what I want. Thai tea, no sweet, half and half. Purrfect! Service here is really good. Helpful young man at the register around lunch time. Very informative if you have questions. Menu is broad. Something for everyone. They also have board games. It's roomy in there. I'm guessing they recently opened up. I can't wait to see what it looks like later. I love cats so this place is just right for me lol Keep up the good work. See you guys soon

Super cute logo! LOVE THAT THEY SELL IT AS STICKERS TOO! Great place to get some boba, hang out, play some of their board games, or study and get some work done. Plenty of parking and service is very friendly and welcoming. There's also some anime theming here too with the cute 90's Sailor Moon cityscape art prints, the vaporwave Cloud from FF7 artwork, the Dragon Ball Kame House tip jar, Demon Slayer, and some keychains. I'm feeling like as more time passes, this place is gonna be decked out with so much more anime/manga themed artwork and I am looking forward to that! I'm all about boba places offering unique menu items, and they do have that here! We got the: 1) Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie: -I got this at half sweet and it was still a yummy, delectable dessert drink! -Very fluffy and good distribution of strawberry and cheesecake flavor. 2) Taro Cheese Foam Smoothie: -My bf got this at zero sweetness which they CAN do for you. It's just of a more icier drink than a smoothie, but you can really taste the taro flavor that they use. They also have milk alternatives here and you can even get flan as a topping! Definitely want to try that next time and their dulce de leche and cajeta lattes sound yummy as well. PS. I definitely wanna see this place take it even farther and combine their cat and anime theming, it'd make this a GREAT place for photos and to stop by, especially for future Anime Riversides or even local anime club/cosplay gatherings. So like artwork or merch of the Cat Bus from Totoro, the Baron from the Cat Returns/Whisper of the Heart, Artemis & Luna from Sailor Moon, Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service, Nyanko-sensei from Natsume Yuujinchou, Korin from Dragon Ball, Meowth, Skitty, and all the feline Poke'mon, etc. The possibilities are endless!
