We’re David and Tansu, partners in business and life, and the proud co-founders of Viva La Boba! We started Viva because we wanted to bring high-quality, authentic boba to our hometown while building a community space where everyone feels welcome.

​

What makes us different? We believe great boba starts with great ingredients. We use real milk and heavy cream, tea leaves and syrups imported from Taiwan, and locally roasted coffee for the freshest flavors. Our vegan cookies are baked fresh weekly in a local home kitchen with love. ​

​

But we’re more than just a boba shop. We’re community-driven, dedicated to serving San Bernardino, Redlands, the Inland Empire, and beyond. From supporting local artists to hosting events that bring people together, our impact extends far beyond our drinks. We are immigrant owned, queer owned, woman owned, and Asian owned 💪🏾🏳️‍🌈

​

At Viva, you’re not just getting a cup of tea; you’re getting a taste of something real, something local, and something made with love <3

Tea ya soon!
