7 Leaves Cafe - Cafe in Riverside - 1201 University Ave STE 101, USA

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
