    This is a great spot for some coffee! Ordered their Ethiopian pour over along with a pistachio muffin and both were really good. Coffee was fragrant and the pastry was fluffy with delicious pistachio filling. Service was helpful in going over suggestions and giving us our order. The cafe is clean and nicely decorated, one of the tables had a chess board that me and my wife enjoyed. It's great to see an amazing coffee spot in Downtown Riverside!

    Anytime I'm in Downtown Riverside, my first stop is always Copper Goat. Their coffee is just consistently good. I usually stick with my go to, sweet shaken espresso (still fantastic, by the way), but this time I branched out and tried one of their new featured drinks. I went with the salted honey macadamia latte, and it was definitely interesting in the best way. It hits that sweet and salty balance, and the saltiness grew on me with each sip. My flavor profile usually leans sweet when it comes to espresso, so if you're someone who loves a little salty contrast, this one's worth trying. We also grabbed some mini bomboloni cream pastries, which we were told were imported from Italy, and they were delicious. They reminded me a bit of beignets, and the cream filling was fantastic. I did get a cronut too, but that one missed the mark for me. It was a little stale and harder than expected. I was hoping for that crispy, flaky bite. Overall, Copper Goat is still one of my favorite stops in the area, especially for coffee.

    Vanilla Latte

    Great service & got some coffee knowledge by barista Rockee (forgive me if I spelled that wrong.) They were super helpful & I walked out with some amazing coffee on top of that. Will definitely be returning. I ordered a vanilla latte with a carrot cake bar & it was delicious. As a new coffee drinker I would say this set the bar for me as I prefer a less sweeter coffee & it was just right. "I will be back!" -Terminator

    Amazing service and yummy coffee! I went to Copper Goat today because I love trying out coffee places. Copper Goat did not disappoint. My Iced Honey Lavender Latte was amazing (finished with locally sourced honey) and the owner Ruby was very sweet and lovely. Its a beautiful space. Check it out!

    Ice coffee

    I came on my lunch break at 5pm while they were cleaning. Didnt see the closed sign on the floor they politely said they were closed at 4pm and even gave me a free ice coffee for the confusion. Best people best coffee place. So nice and clean. This really warmed my heart today.

    carrot cake and hot maple bourbon vanilla cinnamon latte
    Timmy S.

    This coffee shop is located a block away from Riverside's Mission Inn, on Main Street, within a cove of several shops known as the Emporium. The interior has several tables along the front window and a couple of cushy chairs near the entrance. There are additional tables located just outside the entrance, within the covered area of the Emporium. It's a quiet and comfortable space. I ordered a coffee from their house specialities - a hot maple bourbon vanilla cinnamon latte. I also chose a slice of carrot cake from their small pastry case. The woman taking my order seemed rather glum while the barista was quite pleasant and kind, bringing my order to the comfy chair I was snuggled into (normally they just call your name to pick up at the counter). The carrot cake was very good; moist with an icing that wasn't overly sweet. The espresso was sweetened by the maple and a slight taste of vanilla was discernible. I couldn't detect any bourbon flavor though. I think it got lost amidst all the other flavors; I wondered if perhaps they used bourbon-maple syrup? The light taste of cinnamon was within the foam. It may sound like I had issues with the latte, but on the contrary, I really enjoyed it as it was quite unique.

    Salted Vanilla Latte
    Tiffany T.

    I tried the iced salted vanilla latte. Coffee was flavorful, but a little too milky for my liking. I would try it again, but next time with an extra shot of espresso. The cafe was clean and had plenty of seating options. They had one worker who was very nice, but felt like she needed someone else with her for safety reasons.

    Pains me to give such a low review but this experience was not it. I went right at opening bc Simple Simon didn't have specialty coffee. I was maybe the 3rd order and my drink took over 20 mins. I got the bourbon vanilla cinnamon latte and it was a weak espresso, a little on the sweet side and not even full to the top for the "large" size which is standard 16 oz. $7 They also have a 12 oz for $6.50

    Great local coffee shop. The ladies working were friendly and worked quickly to make all the orders as they came in. I had the sweet shaken espresso and a chocolate chip croissant. The espresso hit the spot and gave me the pick me up I needed. The croissant was warm flaky and delicious. There is a large seating area inside and a few spots outside. Would come back again.

    Gone before I could take the pic.

    Oh my goodness, a partially hidden gem in DT Riverside. This place makes coffee the star with a very strong supporting cast. We had the Salted Vanilla Latte and the Maple Bourbon Vanilla Cinnamon Latte. Service was exceptional and the vibe was relaxing with some nice soft music playing in the background. Would've taken pictures of our lattes, but we couldn't stop sipping. Can't wait for our next coffee adventure discoveries at Copper Goat Coffee. I'm gonna leave a pic anyways.

    Ube cheesecake
    Roberto H.

    I absolutely loved coming here. I saw the name was immediately intrigued and getting to read the meaning behind it was great. The coffee was delicious. I mean DELICIOUS. And I had the ube cheesecake which was also amazing. From the staff, to the music, to the vibes, I love this place. Can't wait to come back.

    Coppa Spagnola

    This is a gem here in Downtown Riverside CA. The service here was wonderful. The two ladies working here today were kind enough to serve my drink to me- which was amazingly delicious! I ordered the Coppa Spagnola (Vanilla and Cherry Gelato with Cherries and Espresso) and I will be back just for this! If you want to find a place with a variety of drink options and beautiful ambiance, try Copper Goat. :)

    As always getting the best service, and of course delicious coffee! Shout out to Rocky for reminding me to use my points for my $5 off today! She is awesome, always making my day. If you haven't yet, visit this little spot you won't be disappointed . good vibes, cute and inviting spot. 10/10 for me always.

I didn't want to enter any cafe very small/ with petite tables or judgement if I sat down for 1.5 hr to work on my computer. I bought a sausage croissant which was just ok, but still a nice quick breakfast item. I was able to sit in a comfy chair with an outlet source & table to conference in my meeting. I was left unbothered & comfortable the whole time, which I greatly appreciated. There are several lounge chairs, tables & areas to space out to work, read, lounge, etc! I would certainly return another day to try out their coffee menu and those earl grey lavender scones (wish I saw those first!!) The barista was kind & the atmosphere very pleasant!

    SERVICE here is VERY BAD!…read more The service at Back to the Grind was genuinely one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've had. While I was in the middle of placing my order, an older gentleman wearing glasses abruptly walked away from me mid-conversation to speak with someone he knew. No acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. I was left standing there confused and waiting while they casually chatted amongst themselves. At the same time, my husband approached another employee -- a young woman with very long black hair and a pink bandana (see pic)-- simply to ask for the WiFi password. Without even looking at him, she told him he needed to "buy something first." When he explained that I was already ordering, she repeated herself in a dismissive tone and continued making sandwiches without making eye contact once. What stood out most wasn't just the lack of hospitality, but the overall attitude from multiple staff members. The environment felt cold, dismissive, and inconvenienced by customers being there at all. Ironically, the café advertises community classes like yoga and live meditation classes on the window, yet basic customer service and professionalism seem completely absent. The food itself was fine, which is why this review is specifically about the service experience. Even after how poorly we were treated, I still left a tip because I refuse to match that level of disrespect. Management seriously needs to address the customer service culture here. One rude interaction can happen anywhere -- but multiple employees displaying the same behavior reflects a larger issue.

    Arcade Coffee Roasters is a place for coffee enthusiasts and non-coffee enthusiasts alike--they…read morehave options for all ages and tastes. This is a very unique shop. I must say I was hesitant to go here for a few reasons (none of them great, to be honest). First, the name--I didn't get the connection between "arcade" and "coffee" (then again what does that matter). Second, the location: it's in an odd building that doesn't scream typical coffee shop, with restricted and unusual parking. After overcoming these nonsensical, self-created mental barriers, we walked inside and saw that this is a sophisticated operation with wonderful products, employees, and a truly unique experience. When we entered, we saw a very nice menu with pictures showcasing the drinks and highlighting what makes each one special. The barista was super casual and friendly. She asked over the counter if we had any questions and told us to let her know when we were ready. Her welcoming approach was perfect for first-time visitors. We ordered the Mango Sticky Rice matcha and the Cherry Glaze matcha. Both were delicious, and it was clear that quality is a major focus here. The matchas weren't overloaded with syrup like some places; instead, they tasted naturally infused--subtle, balanced, and perfect. For snacks, we tried the salmon bagel and the blueberry scone. Both were excellent. The bagel was fresh and packed with flavor, again showcasing quality ingredients. The scone was one of the best I've had from a coffee shop--it tasted like it came straight from a bakery. The blueberries were large and bursting with flavor, and the texture was ideal: not too hard, not too soft. It was just right. (They should name it "Goldilocks"!) In addition to coffee, matcha, and chai tea, they also offer craft sodas and other choices for any mood. We decided to enjoy our drinks and snacks inside. As we sat, we noticed they have their own bean-roasting machine (totally unique!). I've never seen one in person, but for coffee lovers who enjoy fresh roasts, this means they bring in green coffee beans, roast them on-site, and produce the freshest, highest-quality product possible. (You could say "they have the beans" -- a little Curb Your Enthusiasm reference for fans of the show.) Aside from having "the beans," they also had a projector showing the World Cup. There are plenty of seating options: tables with chairs, standing desks, sofas, and benches. We will definitely be returning to this little slice of heaven on Earth.

I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! 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. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!
