Came here early afternoon hoping to get one of the outside tables and study for a bit. Luckily they had plenty of seats available. I ordered a hot chai latte and was really happy the WiFi password was on the receipt so I wouldn't have to ask them lol. Latte was satisfying and enjoyable all the way through. Only 2 small negatives - the size seemed a little bit small for $4.10. Also, there was no outlets available outside from what I could see, which is an important factor for me considering indoor seating is closed for awhile and I like to post up on my laptop. read more

Great lattes and I ordered a jalapeño cheddar bagel. I'd come back to have coffee and do some work.

Came here for the first time since it had good reviews and we happen to be in the area. I felt as if the cashier was not having a good day as to her answer where short and blunt. We ordered a plain bagel with sausage for my toddler and as she was eating it she pulled a red hair out of the bagel, I informed the cashier about the situation as a heads up. I didn't expect anything from them but I definitely felt like the situation was just brushed off. Coffee was good but the service ruined our experience we won't be coming back. read more

The staff is always so friendly :) ... (even when they're slammed). And they make my iced coffee perfect every morning!!! Highly recommend. read more

Used to love this place but the management has really fallen off. They are only open till 2 now. Sometimes not even then I came in at 1 just now and they are closed. They raised their prices for the few hours that they are open haha a dirty chai is now $8 before the tip haha this place won't be open much longer. read more

Vanilla lattes are good but customer service is weird. I went in an hour before they closed to order a latte and bagel; the worker told me they were no longer serving bagels because they turned the oven off for closing. Kind of lame considering the time so I just took my coffee and left. read more

I'm not one to ever leave a review but felt like it was necessary. Although our orders both had the wrong bagel they still tasted 10/10 .Customer service is what really kills this place. Both girls in the front were super dry and really killed the vibe of my experience. read more

Good cup of joe and the croissant with egg and cheese was pretty tasty. I prefer supporting small businesses over the "other" guys.

If you want to order a cup of foam with a drizzle of coffee then this is your spot! If you like to be yelled at by cashiers also come here! If you like chai latte don't come, the chai powder mix taste like powder milk! A lot of work needs to be done at this establishment. The customer service and Coffee definitely missing the main ingredient and that is .... Love !!! read more

One of my fav coffee shops! The coffee & service is great! They have a variety of milk options, different flavors, & even food. I had a breakfast sandwich & it was great! And I love the setting! read more

I'm a frequent customer . I ordered a medium vanilla iced latte and she said it was 5.60 ? So I asked did ur prices go up because the large is always 5.65 & she laughed and said yeah". So I go back a few days later & order a large iced vanilla latte and it's 5.65 ? So I ask her what's going on because I just came days before got a medium and got charged the same as a large. She asks do I have the receipt so I said yeah in my bag . I proceed to show her it and all she says "oh yeah Melissa is new that's why she charged you that" ?? No apology no refund ? So just because they have a new person that means they charge me the amount of a large for a medium ? read more

Also, I seen (see the picture) The inf said the staff and I required to wear the masks. So we decide to leave and we don't support the company for disrespect the CA rules and dishonest the inf.

I have been to different coffee shops in riverside, and this one was not it. The prices of the coffee is way too expensive for the quality. I payed almost $7 for a small and I didn't ask for any topping extra I just asked for oat milk instead of regular. And I'm pretty sure they didn't do oat milk because my stomach started hurting afterwards. If you want a good coffee shop go to molinos in downtown riverside that coffee shop never disappoints!! read more

Ive tried many coffee houses and although the drinks were good, it wasn't exactly what I wanted. My typically drink is a lavender vanilla latte with oat milk. So far, these baristas know how to make it taste fantastic each time. The inside is really cute. Instead of selling coffee cups, clothes or loose coffee, they offers a wide selection of beautiful plants. The neat part is you're able to purchase those plants and take them home. Something about enjoying your coffee surrounded by plants, makes the cup of coffee that much better :) read more

I ordered from door dash, got a caramel blend, because it looked so good online but when it got here, it had no whip cream or caramel drizzle like in the picture. It did taste good though. I also ordered an everything bagel with avocado and cream cheese but I received a bagel with cheese and bacon on the outside? It tasted okay.. but I'm not a fan of bacon so it was a little disappointing lol read more

Nice decor partially left over from the old Lift that was there before. They have a good selection of drink choices with standard syrups, none which seem to be house made. Basic Costco style pastries. Service is attentive and polite. Probably most unique thing is their charcoal mocha ($7) you can't get most places. Prices are above average by about $1-2 more for most drinks, I felt a little ripped off paying $6.50 for a SMALL pumpkin spiced oat read more

The fact that they took the time to write a little note shows a lot truly appreciate it ps coffee and bagel were amazing read more

I went in there to buy gift cards for my kids music teachers and I bought myself a matcha while I was there. The drink was taking a long time and I had to go pick up my kids. I asked for a refund and the girls said my drink was next. They then started talking crap about me loud enough for me to hear. I asked if they were talking about me and they said no they were talking about a different woman and they pointed to a lady sitting down. (That isn't any better) When I got my drink it was luke warm. I picked up my kids and then went back to get it remade. The girl argued with me that it was hot. I said I wouldn't argue and asked it to be remade. I asked the girls their names one said Aubrey or Audrey. I told them I didn't appreciate the rude treatment. She said they were working their asses off and didn't appreciate my lack of patience. I explained that I HAD to pick up my kids and they could have given me a refund like I asked and that I wasn't rude I was just not able to stay any longer. She said she didn't hear me ask for a refund. So it's ok to talk smack about a paying customer and then argue with them?????? I paid $6 for an average matcha that was luke warm and was treated with contempt. I won't be back! read more

I purchased two coffee drinks and waited 20 minutes and still didn't get them. When I asked about them, they were rude and completely unconcerned. I asked for my money back and they said no because a manager was not there. I finally just walked out without my drinks and without my money. This place is terrible! Don't waste your money. read more

Absolutely loved this place. The barista listened very well to what my fiancé and i wanted. The drinks and food was amazing. i definitely would recommend and come back! read more

Me and some friends came here after a hang out and we continued our hanging here. It was all healthy and neato honestly they had caffeine and non caffeine teas and coffee options. They are well known for their crepes I was informed when I had asked what is popular here? The staff did their jobs and they weren't rude to me so that's always good. I enjoyed the outdoor setting and seating. They have heat lamps for cold winter nights which was neat. The item I ordered was awesome and tasty. All in a all a very good find. read more

Coffee is decent, the service is terrible. Cashier/barista at the riverside location has a TERRIBLE attitude and 10/10 would recommend to get him retrained or removed from dealing with customers. read more

Stopped by for a quiet spot to study before an exam. Very kind workers. I ordered an Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte with Oat Milk. The total came out to about $6.75 for a 24 oz. I asked for light ice and at some places they'll totally disregard that request but they actually gave light ice! It had to be the best green tea latte I have ever had, it was amazing! It's definitely not somewhere I can go everyday due to the price, but excited to go back at some point! read more

This place is great. The prices are good and they have many options to choose from. You can get lattes, frapes, smoothies and so on. The service was good as the baristas were really sweet. I got the coconut crunch and the funky monkey. Both are really good, but I liked the funky monkey more. Will come back and try other options. read more

Crave Coffee & Tea - Mocha Vanilla Hot Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

This place gets 5 stars for décor, ambiance, and staff. However it fails to deliver at the most important thing which is the coffee. The regular brewed coffee is the bench mark to test the expertise and the capability of a coffee shop very similar to a glazed donut or any other defining product. Crave's coffee falls below gas station coffee, by that mean the complementary coffee that is set out for customers at gas stations and banks. Its basically just hot colored water absolutely no flavor what so ever. read more

Chill/quiet environment, spot of people studying or working on their computers, the smoothies were okay. I would recommend the funky mo key drink, it's was pretty good. Might come again another time and try something different. read more

I always get a plain bagel with bagel egg and cheese, 10/10 recommend! Lastly the customer service is always %100, ive never had a bad experience and I've been going for two years now. Thank you Crave! read more

One of my favorite places to come and study! Their coffee is great and always have good music playing. The coffee is somewhat pricey but the ambiance of the shop itself makes up for that! The workers are also always very helpful and welcoming. My biggest complaint is the lack of outlets,so if you want to study here try and get here earlier before all of the best spots get taken! read more

This place is your basic hipster coffee shop! The hipster coffee shop Riverside needs! They have cool hipster stickers and coffee on tap! Woah! Talk about hipster central! Other than the huge hipster vibe, they have excellent coffee and bake goods. read more

This is a fairly new coffee place I've been waiting to try for awhile in Riverside and I'm glad I tried them out! They are located right next to the Riverside Plaza. I just got their Ice Coffee and it was pretty delicious just as Black Coffee. It had a great roasted taste, a little sweetness in the beginning and then a good bitterness taste towards the end. If you like black coffee, this will satisfy your CRAVE! After tasting it just as it is, I added some half and half and splenda. I personally like it that way and it tasted great. I got the 16 oz and it was only $2.70 which is really cheap. Starbucks ice coffee for a Tall I believe is about $2.95 and a tall is smaller than what I got here! Go check them out! A lot of students and small business owners like to work and study here. They have free wifi and outside seating! read more

Came in for coffee and Chandler thought it would be a good idea to smirk and laugh while I asked if they could remove the excess dough in the bagel for me as I do have a food sensitivity. I will never come back to a place where they laugh at customers request and ridicule them for having food sensitivities. Way to go Chandler! I hope the manager sees this and corrects her actions. read more
