This restaurant is tucked away in one of the separated buildings at Moreno Valley Plaza Shopping Center. (It's not in the strip of buildings.)

I decided to try this place out to see how other restaurants' boba drinks were.

The inside is a little cramped. The dining area is shaped like an "L" where part of it is to the left of the cashier's area and the other part is in front of it next to the entrance.

The cashier was not friendly (though not mean or anyhting like that), but that's no problem for me. I just figured I'd point that out for those that don't like non-friendly cashiers.

I ordered the mango snow boba drink. It was ready after about five or so minutes. While I was sat at one of the tables near the entrance, I noticed the table next to me had not been cleared out. Not sure how long it had been like that, but the restaurant did not seem to be busy. (I think I came in around 3:00pm.)

The drink was pretty good. It tasted more like mango juice with ice than mangos, ice cream and ice. The boba was pretty good; not hard or runny. I wasn't able to finish the whole drink, so I put it in the fridge when I got home. When I went to finish it the next day the drink had separated. (Orange foam floating on top of a clear liquid with the boba at the bottom.)

Update:

I dined in during the afternoon with some co-workers recently.

The same cashier I dealt with the last time I visited took my order again. Again she was not friendly.

The interior of the restaurant was bright and colorful. The place still looked fairly clean. The A/C is either set high or not powerful enough to keep the place decently cool in the afternoon.

I ordered the curry chicken meal and it was very delicious. The steamed rice was very nice and sticky. All the times I have had plain rice from a restaurant it has never been the same texture and consistency as the rice I was served here. The curry chicken was also delicious; there was gratefully not a whole lot of onions, but a fair portion of vegetables (Potatoes and carrots, I think.)

For the price I paid the portions were good.

Apparently if you just order water there are some stacked, plastic cups next to a water reservoir, but the cashier never mentioned it. Also if you need to use the restroom (There is one unisex one on the right side of the restaurant.), then you have to ask for the key.

I'll definitely be trying out the other items on the menu.

cafe gossip is located in the superior market shopping center, close to the big lots. they mostly have asian food. their beef strips and rice are excellent. they have a pretty good size menu. they are kinda crowded for lunch, so call in your order if you can.
