Tansu Philip and David Friedman, Redlands natives, opened their boba shop, Viva la Boba, in downtown San Bernardino in 2019. Recently, they expanded to 501 Orange St. in Redlands, highlighting their commitment to their hometown. The shop's opening featured historical displays, emphasizing community heritage. Philip and Friedman, looking to foster a renaissance in downtown areas, transformed an old skate shop into their boba business, showcasing both local and global beverage flavors. Their journey reflects their belief in the power of small businesses to enrich communities.
Beverages at Viva la Boba range from milk teas to smoothies and slushies, with a wide variety of add-ons.
When Philip and Friedman were in high school, the property was occupied by Banned Skate Shop, and she said it's surreal that she owns it today.
