Absolutely delicious bagel and recommend this shop!!!! First time here and will definitely look forward to coming back

Bacon, egg, and cheese with avocado and jalapeño

I just love this place so much and I can never justify buying food out every day however, every time before I go to work, I always make sure to stop and get a bacon egg and cheese croissant in today. I got it with jalapeño and avocado. It's literally perfection.

Came here to pick up the goodies from "too good to go". Its such a good deal for variety of delicious donuts $6 and you get 14 mix fresh donuts. Staff are so friendly and greeted you as you walked in. Parking not a problem. The place is clean and well maintained.

Stopped here on our way to Las Vegas. The people are friendly and they have a nice variety. We got a maple bar, chocolate donut and small apple fritter. All were nice donuts.

Used the app too good to go & was amazed with how many donuts we received! Was really happy with the order, the inside was clean and the donuts were really good , will definitely be coming again!

The owner & her young son are so adorable and kind! This donut shop is a Riverside gem! The donuts are great and the croissants are heavenly! Breakfast croissants are available in the morning. The Thai Iced Tea is Phenomenal Pair it with a donut and thank me later.

I had an amazing experience at this donut shop! I placed a custom order, and they absolutely nailed it--everything was exactly how I envisioned, down to the smallest detail. You can really tell they take pride in their work and care about getting it right. On top of that, the coffee is fantastic--fresh, smooth, and the perfect pairing with their donuts. The atmosphere in the shop was just as impressive. Every single person who walked in was friendly, and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. It created such a positive, upbeat environment that made the whole visit even better. If you're looking for a place that delivers both quality and great service, this is it. I highly encourage anyone to stop by--you won't be disappointed! read more

This is my go-to donut shop, even if I have to drive 10 miles ' The donuts are always incredibly fresh, soft, and they stay that way for days after purchase. They also have a great selection of flavored coffees, and the Café de Olla is absolutely delicious! The customer service is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend this place if you're craving fresh donuts and amazing coffee! read more

Sometimes it takes a village--and sometimes it takes a donut shop! I first reached out to local donut shops in the Arlington high school community, but with no luck. So I turned to my dad's favorite donut shop--and of course, Leng and her husband didn't hesitate to step up! With their help, we were able to provide donuts for 120 football players on Memorial Day. It's moments like these that show how much heart our community has. Thank you for making a difference with something as simple--and special--as donuts. read more

Will absolutely be coming back here! Especially for the fresh squeezed juice, they tasted fresh and real. The donuts smelt amazing and were soft fresh as well. Not only was food great but really the customer service was outstanding! Couldn't tell you the last time I went into a donut shop and have someone be so welcoming. We walked out with waaaay more than what we went in for. We got donuts, donut holes, fresh juices, and their sandwich's. Right away we all commented on how clean and well put together the store was. The glass was the cleanest display case I've ever seen! Counters and floors were clean, so was their back area behind the counters. So happy to finally find a donut shop. read more

For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed.

We agreed, but nothing is really labeled and all donuts look pretty similar including the "special" donuts so we decided on 4 additional "special" donuts. Upon paying what should have been $23 went to $30. We said how? She said u picked special donuts. Well that was only bc she insisted that it was included in the price. We adjusted the donut selection and paid. The real issue for me is the way she communicated to us in a sneaky way as if we wouldn't notice the up charge, not to mention how embarrassing she made us feel. The donuts are not even great. They didn't taste fresh. A bit more stale if I'm being honest. It was a disappointing overall experience. I do not recommend.

I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever.

This is my favorite coffee shop in Riverside. I've gone here for over a decade and it's about time…read moreI write a review. Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

For my favorites: I've never had a matcha freeze so that was unique! It was sweet & flavorful, without being overly sweet. The watermelon juice with matcha cold foam was so refreshing and had a light earthy taste. The bagel was served warm and nicely toasted. They were also generous with the blueberry cream cheese, which I appreciated. As for the cafe itself, the restroom trash was overflowing, but the restroom was otherwise clean. A couple of the tables needed to be wiped down; however, the cafe was busy when we visited and people had just gotten up from those tables, so it was understandable. :) Since this was my first Yelp Elite experience, I wasn't really sure what to fully expect. The cashier was friendly and greeted us as soon as we checked in, but he only mentioned the blueberry and sesame bagels and that they were out of regular cream cheese. Later, I seen they had a pizza bagel and I would have loved the option to try that instead. It would have been nice if all of the available choices had been mentioned during check in. Not sure if they were out or if it just wasn't mentioned. Another staff checked in on us after receiving our order and he was very nice. Overall, I had a great first Elite Experience. The food and drinks were excellent and I'd definitely come back. Also thank you for Sammy for coordinating and introducing to this nice spot!

They rearranged the interior and it is the perfect set up. Idk if it was a busy day or short staffed day, but when I came there was a line to the door with two people working. I was not in a rush and planned to work at the shop so it all worked out for me. I ordered their loaded breakfast sandwich in a croissant and caramel cafe latte. Okay.. I was steered wrong, but also super indecisive. The croissant is not the way to go if you don't like getting dirty while eating. It was bomb, don't get me wrong. However, I had flakes all over myself, table and floor. The cafe latte was really good and perfectly balanced. The shop is very inviting and designed beautifully. I really enjoyed seeing the different variety of plants and nicknacks. I would get the sandwich again, but on a bagel next time. Overall it was a really good experience and I can't wait to go back. They even have a tv for the World Cup games going on right now.

Fabulous and affordable option when you want a sandwich…read more Service can be hit or miss and the person taking orders can seem incompetent/inconsiderate of the time. Ambiance is not the best, as the interior of the restaurant can feel dated--the art does not help--and the booths that comprise the bulk of the seating is private (which I love) but always dirty. Despite the service and ambiance leaving something to be desired, the lunch is great option in the downtown area. I do no recommend the breakfast--the potatoes lack flavor and many items are better made at home, imo. My go-to lunch options Grilled Smokey without onions- a fancy grilled cheese w tomato Tomato soup pairs very well with the grilled cheese Grill Smokey with bacon- solid but sometimes I don't want bacon/meat Tuna melt- so good and I tend to not like celery Black bean soup- solid Upgrade to the pesto pasta salad OR the loaded potato salad Don't recommend the pastrami sandwich-the meat was lowkey gross Baked good/desserts Princess Cake- I'm royalty and this cake hits the right notes and spots Sticky buns- get it Cinnamon bun- get it Cookies (molasses)- yummy and good texture Bagels- great quality bagels to add to a meal Baked breads (when in stock)- love fresh bread and recommend the sourdough

Sometimes I come on weekends for breakfast, and I really enjoy it. The service is great! I usually don't have to wait too long for my things and the people there are super nice. Their filled donuts have the perfect amount of custard or jelly, and their orange juice is the perfect pallet cleanser. There isn't too much to say about the ambiance of the place, but it's overall really welcoming and I would recommend! read more
