The Riverview Coffee Shop & Wine Bar

This place has been closed but was a beloved neighborhood wine bar.

I absolutely love this place. I often stop on my way to work for a pastry. I have yet to be disappointed! Very inexpensive and absolutely delicious.

I recently tried their crustless quiche; parmesan cheese, bell peppers and spinach if I recall (maybe onions). Although I don't remember exactly; I DO remember it being delicious. Though they would have heated it up, I brought it to work and ate it cold; it was divine.

The staff are ridiculously friendly and kind.

The live music in the evening is a wonderful experience as well, tho I'm usually just walking by on my way home, it's been lovely.

I stopped on the way to work the other day and learned they are closing at the end of this month, which is just heartbreaking. Wishing them the best and thankful for all the joy and nourishment they've brought to my mornings and the community.

My sandwich was terrible.. bread is soggy..22 dollars for 2 coffees and 2 sandwiches .. I want my money back for the hassle of the junk sandwich. I got burned two ways .

I love this place! So sorry to see you guys go ? If you guys decide to sell off some of that wine inventory, I would love to buy a case or 2 or 3?

Message from current owners, posted on website:It is with much thought that we have decided to close our doors for now on July 31st so that we can take some time to reassess the future of the Riverview Cafe and Wine Bar.This past year has brought extreme challenges and obstacles but has also has been a time for deep reflection. We are forever grateful to the Longfellow community, our friends far and wide and our incredible Staff. You have supported us in the beginning, through COVID, daily at the cafe and lately in the sun on our patio at the wine bar.We are very grateful for all of your support and we will keep you posted about our future.We love this corner and believe what ever the future holds it will be great!!

Been frequenting this cafe ever since moving to the neighborhood and even more so after hearing they were struggling post pandemic. Unfortunately, our experience last Saturday morning made us decide we weren't coming back.Upon entering, we noticed we were the only customers inside, the vibe was tense as if we were inconveniencing them. The gentleman who helped us remained straight faced and serious throughout the entire transaction despite thanking him repeatedly, smiling, being friendly and even tipping generously. At no point did he break character, no smile, no thank you, nothing.To make matters worse, the hot chocolate we ordered had no flavor, it was just hot milk and I almost swallowed a big piece of egg shell that was in the pumpkin bar.

I love this place, especially sitting out on the patio on a summer evening. Great wine selection and lovely music!

Waitress left me waiting for a little over 15 minutes for my check .I got tired of waiting and just threw some money down and left.

I like that it's a little cafe you can go too

Great place to study

Super friendly, great coffee and snacks

Great service, and the gamut of coffee drinks, including seasonal themes.

Safe and the Chai Tea Lattes are DELICIOUS
