    I found this place a few weeks ago and was impressed with coffee and the loaded breakfast burrito…read more I came back again today hoping that they could duplicate the quality and quantity of both. They did. Ordered the loaded burrito with sausage and bacon. It was in fact loaded. There was not a single bite that did not have sausage, bacon, crispy potato, cheese, avocado, AND sour cream. Wrapped all nice and pretty like a burrito present. You literally cannot go wrong with this breakfast burrito. The salsas are good. Green has a little kick to it in spice and tanginess. Red is really mild, almost like a pico. Ordered the Morenita with 2 added shots of espresso (yes, I'm a caffeine addict, lol!). It was delicious, the espresso was rich and flavorful. I have a feeling that every time I come here in the future, my order will stay exactly the same. Keep in mind, the food is made fresh to order, so you can wait for a minute especially if there is a few people already enjoying this place. The inside is a nice little set up, but I always enjoy sitting outside. Highly recommend this place.

    You're here for the review. Here it is…read more BOMB. Everything on the menu is delicious. I've tried just about every food item, and today went with the sausage burrito. Thick, meaty, eggy, cheesy goodness. Today I was lucky to receive both the green and red salsas. Which is better? Naw, it doesn't work like that. They each have their own flavors and hit differently with each bite. Not enough kick for y'all, but for me it was perfect (lightweight). For coffee, I went with El Chino, which is their version of a Vietnamese Coffee. Without stirring, you're going to get that moment you're looking for. After a good stir, you're sipping on a creamy, but strong coffee. Perfect for those who need a quick boost. The girls here always take care of you, answers your questions and provide the best service. If you're not a fan of lines, set your alarm to come a little earlier than your normal coffee run (pre-9am). Either way, come here and try it yourself, you won't be disappointed.

    They also have a cute little section to buy from. I bought some shot glasses & a heart mug. Pricing on those are pretty reasonable as well.

I ordered a hot fig latte and it was honestly incredible. You can tell they really care about their craft--the espresso shot was smooth and rich, and the flavor of the fig was perfectly balanced, not too sweet but still super satisfying. The fact that they make all their syrups in-house really shows in the quality. I loved it so much I ended up buying a bag of their coffee beans to take home, which says a lot. The location is great, the ambiance is on point, and the coffee is genuinely some of the best I've had in a while.

    I was a regular customer here from the day this coffee shop opened. After moving out of state, I…read morerecently drove an extra hour out of my way to meet a friend here because I always enjoyed this place. We purchased several drinks and were sitting inside when the manager asked us to move outside because my toddler was being loud. While I understand he may have been disruptive, he wasn't running around or causing damage. What disappointed me was the manager's unfriendly approach. We moved outside as requested, but all the tables were in direct sunlight, which wasn't practical since I had my newborn with me. After going out of my way to visit a place I had supported for years, I left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

    Arcade Coffee in Riverside has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I've tried several of their…read moreholiday drinks, and every single one has been delicious--flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Their pastries are also really good and pair perfectly with a coffee or seasonal drink. The space itself is clean, modern, and has a really trendy, inviting vibe. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and stay awhile, whether you're catching up with someone or just enjoying some time to yourself. Every visit has been consistently great--nothing has ever disappointed. Overall, Arcade Coffee is a solid go-to in Riverside if you want good drinks, good pastries, and a nice atmosphere.

    This is a solid, upscale coffee shop in Downtown Riverside. I've been to their other locations as…read morewell, but mostly visit Bakehouse and Downtown. As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.

    Coffeecito is such a unique spot. The whole place feels like a café inside a home, which makes it…read morereally cozy and inviting. The decor is thoughtfully done, and the second floor is especially pretty, with a warm and comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to stay for a while. I heard they have board games or some kind of games upstairs, but I didn't get a chance to fully explore. The staff were really nice and took their time making the drinks, which I always appreciate. We ordered the lavender matcha, pistachio latte, matcha latte, and horchaita, and overall the drinks were solid. Personally, I didn't think the matcha itself stood out too much, and it leaned a bit on the sweeter side for me. However, the lavender cold foam was really good and added a nice touch to the drink. I ended up enjoying the coffee drinks and horchaita more, which were flavorful and well made.

It's in this old Victorian-style house, two stories, lots of seating, charging ports, outdoor space, very "bring your laptop and work" energy. But every time I've gone, the actual coffee has been such a letdown. I've ordered their horchata latte twice before and both times it tasted watered down, which is honestly criminal because horchata lattes have so much potential. This time I went in because it was conveniently located near an errand I had to run, and I figured I'd try a regular latte with sugar-free syrup and one of their egg bites. The latte was fine, nothing life-changing, but the egg bite? No. In my head I was expecting something similar to Starbucks, but it came out looking messy and thrown together, like something I could've made at home half-awake and probably better. It had way too much cheese and just felt lazy. Before all that, the cashier also had a really off attitude with the people in front of me. Not toward me directly, but she came off kind of smart with this older couple, and I could tell they felt uncomfortable. For a small business coffee shop, customer service matters so much, and the energy was just not it. The space is cute and has potential, but the drinks, food, and service need serious work.
