45 Best Coffee Shops in Riverside

“Some of the Best tasting Coffee in Town.“

“Iced oat milk latte, pesto fried eggs (to-go), and an unpictured massive chocolate croissant! My drink and food was so yummy, I can’t wait to go back and try more :) the space is kinda small and the line was kinda long, but it’s all worth your time!“

“Delicious and the service is superior!“

“I went to this coffee shop for the first time a couple weekends ago with my girlfriend. Since I moved back to Riverside this summer, I’ve made it a point to try local businesses. I browsed the menu before I went, and I knew I had to go just based on the flavor options alone.

When I walked in, it was pretty busy. All the tables inside were occupied, and there were people hanging out in the outdoor seating area as well. Aside from the reviews, seeing all the people there had me feeling like I was in for a treat, and I was definitely right!

I ordered the Lavender Black & White and a coffee cake. My girlfriend ordered the Espresso Chip (blended latte). Both drinks were really tasty, especially the espresso chip. That one was sweeter than the lavender one. The lavender coffee is great if you like the taste of coffee with a hint of sweetness. I mainly tasted the lavender and coffee. If you enjoy lavender, this is a good option for you. The coffee cake was also delicious and the perfect amount of sweet and fluffiness.

The staff there is super nice. The cashier who rang us up even tried to rescue us from a bee that made its way inside the shop. If you’ve been thinking of giving this place a try, go for it! You won’t be disappointed.

NOTE: I saw several people had ordered the strawberries and cream drink. It’s a smoothie consistency, and it looked super tasty. Considering how popular it is, I’m sure it’s magically delicious! They have a section on the menu titled “If coffee’s not your thing,” so there’s a little something for everyone.

Parking: The shop is in a shopping center, and there are a couple designated 10-minute parking spots right in front.“

“Literally the best crepe I’ve had in my life! I created my own and added Nutella, peanut butter and almonds and it was very delicious. The service here is also great, I ordered a matcha drink to go with it and the worker there suggested I add flavoring to it which was a great suggestion. I would definitely come back. If you like pink and girly sweet treats, this is the place for you!“

“Excellent coffee outstanding customer services delicious kombucha 😋“

“The #8!!!!! 6 Beignets and the 2 piece Jetk fried chicken,……. Roscoe’s, watch out der now! Can’t wait to go back!“

“So amazing , can’t wait to go back soon“

“Jump started my morning and the scones were amazing as well!“

“Stopped at this location on our way back to Phoenix. Staff was very friendly and fast. This location is much bigger than the Upland location and had a lot to look at as far as merchandise and decorations on the walls. Coffee was awesome! Tried the spookshow and wish I had ordered the largest size because I wanted more lol.“

“Great fun, friendly staff! Dogs allowed and they even have different size doggy water bowls for your fur babies!“

“The cashier-baristas at this location are very friendly and have come to know to me by my name. They make me feel welcome and recognized. I've had the regular matcha, strawberry matcha, and shaken peach cooler; they're all delicious and the price feels reasonable enough.

Wheelchair accessibility: This shop is within the mall and wheelchair access wouldn't be an issue as far as I can tell.“

“It felt very homey and peaceful to sit down and eat at this restaurant :) Had their albondigas and for dessert, their chocolate muffin sundae, that came with a warm muffin, vanilla icecream, nuts, and whipped cream. That was my favorite part of that meal, and our server said it was her first time making it. That was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had, and she nailed the presentation :) I think she wanted to take a picture, but I’m not sure she was able to. So if she comes across this review, hi i have ur pic lol :)“

“Accidentally stumbled across this coffee shop while in Riverside and decided to stop by. I’m so grateful we did because it’s a big difference with service and quality compared to the larger coffee shops. We were greeted very friendly, was attended quickly and our order was 100% correct. Anytime we’re close to Riverside. We will always make sure to stop and have Coffeecito.“

“I remember a few months ago I came here with a group and we all ended up with a reaally bad stomach. Came back last night and there is an improvement in quality. Although it did take like almost 20 minutes to get my order made but I’m hoping it stays this way, I really like the matcha and mango crepe :)“

“Delicious latte and awesome location“

“This is one of the closest coffee beans to me It's kind of far so I don't go often but i love it went in today had the dark chocolate blended coffe it was great the people their are very friendly and nice i did notice they sell the powder drink mix to make it your self at home love it i will buy next time“

“I visited this spot when I was home from Wisconsin, and missed my old Riverside coffee bean. The staff here was AMAZING, and the coffee was always spot on! They even remembered my order when I came in! Thanks for making me the best white chocolate ice blended I have ever had guys! That red velvet was to die for as well! Seriously, give these guys a raise! They deserve it. Tip your baristas! ;)“

“Been coming here since 2022 and it's my family's favorite boba place. We have tried others in the area and no other place compares to Bobaloca! The owners and their employees are always nice and provide the best service. Definitely a must try, you won't regret it. Lots of options to choose from. Enjoy!“

“What can I not recommend?! Friendly service, bagel sandwiches are tasty. However, the lavender coffee with oat milk is the BEST! 😊“

“My biggest complaint about this place is the wifi is constantly dropping signal and if you're here to focus and study you're going to want to rely on a personal hotspot. I have tried the Acai bowl and Cold Brew and both are excellent choices when coming in to focus on work/study.“

“The staff is always amazing!“

“Only good boba place I know of. Decent prices, and you can very quickly get points towards 5 dollars off by using your phone number. Boba is always great and the drink flavors are always good. They used to add fruit pieces to the fruit teas, but don't really do that anymore.

The restroom isn't the best but it's fair enough. There is a comfortable seating area for young kids. Toys and games are available to look through while drinking bobas.

Kid-friendliness: Donated toy section where kids can sit and enjoy playing. A little free library is also in the front of the store.“

“Their draft coffee and selection of bakery savors are my favorite for a quick stop refresher. Clean, bright open feel seating. Indoor or outdoor on the shaded patio. Great place to meet up with friends, family and associates.“

“Go here from time to time, it's consistent and good. Had a bad experience with the drive thru once, I ordered off their seasonal menu that's right next to their regular menu and when I asked for it they said they don't sell that there that they never have?(Not that they ran out just
plain didn't sell it) Even after saying it's on their menu they just ignored me. One bad experience wasn't gonna stop me from coming here tho so that should say a lot on its own. Their coffee is great and most of their service too.“

“Dragon Marsh is my yearly GO TO store for supplies. I'm always able to find the Incense, Resin or Woods need for my Yule Celerbration. Costumer Service is always an A+ for me, when shopping Dragon Marsh. I always leave knowing that my money was well spent and that I got quality items. Thank You Dragon Marsh“

“Good service Bomb coffee“

“Rich flavor and fresh coffee. Love mocha Mexico.“

“The woman behind the counter gave me 3 free donuts. I gave her a 4 dollar tip and she gave me 3 more. 😁😄 she was so warm and welcoming!!!! I’m not sure her name. Asian, maybe in her 30’s or 40’s. Amazing donies!!! Definitely will come back soon! The glazed are incredible!!!! Some of the best glazed donuts I’ve ever had! Trust me!“

“Everyone there is so Friendly and nice,Very Clean“

“Customers in the comments appear to be pussies..make coffee at home you bunch of babies..“

“My dad's a HUGE Thai Tea critic. Most places we go to and he disapproves. But this place had arguably the best Thai Tea he and I tried. He finished his drink in almost 5 minutes! So sad they don't have this store in the San Jose area.“

“LOVED IT !!!!!
Best Boba ever !!!
Very clean and family friendly location …Great staff and very quick service …went there with large group of friends and family and loved the way they served so many orders with perfection in such timely manner …definitely coming again !!!!“

“always leave feeling blessed“

“Luv the mango smoothie from here.
I don't get the same satisfaction from any other boba place but here, the taste and texture of the smoothies here are perfect for my taste buds. Can't forget about the sweet tasting delight paired with the chewiness of the boba, they simply go perfectly with each other. Plus they were playing ben 10 and Powerpuff girls. What more could you want? :0“

“Overall great place. The service is always quick, polite and friendly and the drinks? Well you all know what Starbucks is. Today I had quite a strange experience tho. I asked for hot green tea with honey. And the barista(I've never seen this guy before) had me repeat my order like.. 3 times? I know I have accent, but it neverhappened to me before. Anyway I paid for the order and quickly forgot about it. Until like a minute later another guy asked me what did I order. Like I've already paid for the order and you don't know what I ordered. Why accept payment then? I repeated the order that was still "hot green tea with honey" he told me it wasn't on the menu, although I had been ordering it for the last 2 weeks with no issues. I ended up giving up cause I didn't want to come out as rude and my social anxiety started making me feel uncomfortable and just told "give me any hot tea you have" and ended up drinking black tea with no honey. It's not the end of the world, but it made me feel I was speaking chinese the entire time and i felt insecure about my English first time in 2 years.“

“The staff is always very knowledgeable as to what they offer on their menu and always share their recommendations on the meal and are usually on point. The restaurant is clean. Even on their busiest hour your food is still received fresh and hot. Crystal has awesome customer service skills and just about knows everyone in the building.“

“It was the best experience always! Not only they provide great coffee and pastries but amazing services too. This coffee shop is really worth visiting because of its amazing atmosphere and a great set of baristas that can make your coffee more special. I will surely recommend this coffee shop to everyone! Everything here is all worth it!“

“Staff is always nice and friendly. Coffee and food are also great. Nice family owned business where you see the owners working hard like the rest of the employees.“

“First time dining here, few things, the food was presented great but it wasn't hot. Little pet peeve of mine I guess but I like my food hot especially if it's meant to be served hot. Flavor profile it was great. Service was ok, not amazing but good. Did ask a few questions to the waitress and instead of answering us she kept making us scan the QR code on the menu, asked a simple yes or no and they couldn't answer us. The atmosphere was good small and cozy, wall art is pretty and the overall experience was fun.“

“The Almond milk tea with boba was awesome, had that with hot fried calamari. My 1st time here, I'm gonna be a regular here..“
