Joke. They can't take cupcake orders through the drive thru. I wanted ANY cupcake for my kids teachers for the kast day of school. They said I had to come in and order them. "That's the policy."I said I'm trying to avoid taking the kids out of the car and them being late to school. So I had to wait for my coffee through the drive thru to then park, get the kids out, and go buy the damn cupcakes inside. Unfortunately, with this type of "customer service". We will not have a cupcake and espresso bar in the area soon. Cause no one is going to be loyal to companies with poor service. Small businesses need loyal customers. read more

Maybe I've been too addicted to coffee lately, but my god, this place was so cute and the coffee and food was delicious. It was my first time there yesterday and I just asked the cashier what drink she likes, she recommended the toffee nut macadamia latte, and I wasn't disappointed. Loved the cinnamon bun sandwich they had going on as well. read more

This is a great new little spot in town. I really loved the Chipotle Pastrami sandwich. My wife loved the drinks and the treats. They have a big menu so there is more I want to try. I would have given this place 5 stars but I ordered a Lobster grilled cheese and it was cold. That was a bummer. However I will return and hopefully not have that same experience. They staff is great and the variety is awesome. Def check this place out if you're in town. read more

Cupcakes were dry. Drinks were too sweet. Sandwiches were way too salty. I ordered through their app but 2 of the 4 cupcakes weren't available when I went to pick my order (but I was still able to choose them in the app) and had to pick two others. All around disappointing. read more

This place is so cute!! There are so many fun cupcakes and desserts. This would be a fun place to meet up with friends or to stop by and get a treat for a loved one. The tropical iced tea is so refreshing! I can't wait to go back and try more cupcake flavors. read more

I thought this place was pretty nice. There is a huge selection of pasties. The cupcake I got was a bit dry and crumbly, but it was still good. The coffee was pretty good but it has a syrupy flavor. Overall it was pretty good, and the staff has always been very friendly. read more

This place is amazing! My husband and I stopped in at noon on Friday and the selection of desserts was still fantastic! We chose 4 cupcakes, a brownie, a banana pudding and a Rice Krispie treat and the total was $25! Everything tasted fresh and homemade:! I can't wait to go back and try their breakfast and lunch sandwiches as well as their coffee drinks! So happy to have this place in our community read more

This place was so cute inside. Great customer service. Cupcakes were delicious and lobster grilled cheese was yummy. Will definitely be a go to for our family read more

Pretty sure they put milk instead of almond milk like I asked. Because my stomach started hurting right away. Like really why fuck up someone's day? Looks really bad that you don't take peoples allergies seriously. read more

Visited this place last Sunday and I was so glad I did! Excellent coffee and the cupcakes are delicious. A great new addition to the area. read more

Cupcake & Espresso Bar - Cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

I was traveling home from vacay. I stopped by to buy a sandwich & drink, ordered and seen the prices on the drive through were different from what they charged me, they claimed they hadn't updated their drive thru menu prices m. SO WRONG!!! read more

The coffee is great. When i go inside service is great. The drive thru is service is not. I have tried the drive thru on the way to work and unfortunately I had to leave the drive thru and get coffee elsewhere because no one answered the drive thru. I also don't understand why no one answered because there was only one customer inside the shop. I could be the only one who has experienced this, but it's worth mentioning. If you want to enjoy the coffee, just park and order inside. read more

I thought the flavors were really good. The cake was too crumbly though. They have other treats besides cupcakes. The staff was friendly. The inside is decorated very cute. read more

Terrible; incompetent underage teenagers working with no sense of urgency or care for putting customer first. There's usually a herd of children gossiping in the back and 1 person busting their ass on the floor if that. I saw a girl draw a sign for legit an hour before. They cannot make a decent drink and do all steps differently. Also the bar stations are filthy yuck! And that powder area looks so gross with that sticky tea shelf. Cleanliness is not a priority. I have over heard them also talking about using their moldy and outdated food out loud when they think we can't hear from the lobby. Cupcakes are days old and have nats as well. They wear nails and wear jewelry over the food and drinks too. Their hair is past their shoulders. There's also an Instagram StopSupportingtheCB here's the link: https://instagram.com/stopsupportingthecb?igshid=YTY2NzY3YTc= Totally unprofessional immature business. Go somewhere else! read more

Service was excellent but the cupcakes were VERY dry. Definitely wouldn't spend the 25$ for 6 cupcakes again with them being that Dry, flavor wasn't that great either. I had high hopes for this place but with cupcakes in the name, I would expect something at very least "good". read more

Always delicious baked goods. My favorite is the honey lavender cupcake. The tea and coffee is amazing!

Too expensive for the size of the cupcakes. Nothing really special about the cupcakes. Some are kind off dried from the inside. Not in a hurry to return. I only tries because of a recommendation of a friend say the cupcakes there are good. When I get there around 2pm, there was not much selections to choose from. The display was obscure, no label or name for each of the cupcakes. I expected to be more presentable display of cupcakes selection. read more

Turtle Crush Cupcake was okay, slightly warm and melty but good flavor. The frosting on the vanilla cupcake, however, was vey sour and tasted awful (both times I've had it). Tried it again today, hoping it was just new staff, still learning but I don't think that's the case. read more

Delicious treats, super clean, fun environment. Staff is so friendly and helpful! Love that we found this cute spot.

The brownies and cookies were and looked pretty good, the service was nice and quick. The ambiance was nice and calming, it kinda reminded me of a Starbucks. read more

Really wanted to like this place. First visit got some disappointing cupcakes and mediocre coffee, decided not to leave a review and give them a chance to redeem themselves. Second visit today, tried the lobster grilled cheese, it was terrible! The bread was stale and they use American cheese?? Though we weren't impressed the dogs really seemed to enjoy it. read more

So I am gonna leave a positive and a negative review. I was very happy that a new coffe place was opening because I feel Starbucks is over rated. I live near orangecrest community so this is 5 min from my place and it is a nice coffe shop with good teas and food overall. Where this place lacks is urgency and good customer service. There are a few nice faces here but a lot more short, rude, and just lacks people skills. I always order the same green iced tea sometimes sweetened and sometimes not for myself. Most of the time my drink has been wrong and I ask for a cup of ice on the side because they are rude when I ask for extra ice in my iced tea. I complained to the owner a year prior and he said it would be handled and gave me drink credits and this is why my family and I would even come back here. Today I ordered a plan green tea with extra ice and was given black tea and I asked him to try it to check and he shut the window in my face and never came back until I tapped the drive threw window and asked for a refund. At the end he apologized with a smile and I couldn't belive how rude someone could be. I leave times most of the time to the employees but this was just insane. The place wasn't even busy. I was at the drive threw for 15 min. I called to complain but at this point good luck with the business. My suggestion would be to hire people who are happy to work and greet people with a hello and smile. That's really all that's needed and if u get an order wrong don't be rude to the customers paying for a service. The food and drinks are 4 stars but the service is pure rudeness. read more

We just got home, the cheese danish is amazing and lemon blueberry cupcake so yummy we'll try more tomorrow. But major bummer they did put our peanut butter cookie in or bag. read more

went here today, got a cold brew. The girl on register was so friendly and had such good service. definitely every time I've gone and she's been there, has always been a pleasant experience. read more

The drive-thru takes forever! Went there at 8 this morning before an appt. I had at 830am. I legit waited for a caramel blended drink from 8 to 825am with 4 four cars in front of me, making me late for my appt. The gal did apologize for the wait. For what it is worth, the caramel blended drink was good. read more

They have the best coffee and cupcakes...the employees are fast and friendly ...the Black Forest cupcakes are the best

Review is only for the baked goods. I purchased a couple of cookies, 2 cupcakes, and a chocolate brownie muffin (?). Everything was so dry and nothing stood out. For nearly $19 I was hoping something would be worth it. Will not be visiting again. read more

Nothing fresh about this place the pastries are not great not even my kids liked them. The sandwiches are terrible they are made off site and reheated and you can also tell the quality of the meat and cheese was not good. I don't recommend this place. read more

Cold brew was tasty, tea was refreshing, lobster grilled cheese was delicious! Service was quick in the drive through.

I found this spot a couple weeks ago and the coffee was outstanding! The people were also as such and I met one of the owners named Chad who was great! I can't forget all the different (and amazing) things to eat from salty to sweet. Try anything, you'll be impressed. Will obviously keep coming back, good work guys read more

The coffee ghiacciato was suggested to me by courteous Cupcakes associate Erin. She said I will like this refreshing beverage and she was absolutely right read more

See all

Such a great place! I saw a ton of recommendations on Facebook about this place so I took my family there and it was outstanding. We needed a little after dinner sweet treat and we had so many fresh options to choose from. While we were there we met the owner, Fadi and he was so welcoming. He was helping out as if he was an employee. He made us feel welcomed and we had a great first time experience. We will be back! read more

Cute little local coffee shop. The pastries are delicious and the staff is always super nice and helpful.

Coffee good, customer service awful. As I reached for my coffee the lid fell off and spilled everywhere, as I was cleaning it up three employees watched me. I continued to stand there as I was waiting for my Danish that the cashier completely forgot about, which is terrible because when I ordered I was the only person there. Said excuse me three times nobody heard me finally went up to the front where he realized that he completely forgot. Nobody looked like they wanted to be there. Focus on the customer service people notice these things. read more

Absolutely love this coffee shop! I normally order plain hot coffee and I think they have the best tasting coffee that is always made fresh. Many pastry options. Friendly staff. Great area to study. Can't ask for more! read more

One of the best coffee and pastry places in Riverside. Tried the Horchata Latte with vanilla cold foam it was delicious especially if you like sweet coffee! Tried many pastries. Snickerdoodle, strawberry cheesecake, s'mores cupcake all amazing! M&m cookie, chocolate scone, and white chocolate cookie also delicious. Many options. Always clean and well staffed. Love how it is never pack. The Moreno Valley location is always full inside and way smaller. read more

My pastries were dry and hard. Not fresh at all. It was hard and stale. I want to support local businesses and not go to corporate companies, but, their standards appear to be better. I'm really disappointed that the pastries I paid for was probably a day old. read more

the vibes are terrible i will not lie. the coffee is fine, nothing worth waiting home about

Long time customer of this chain, however unfortunately this specific location, van buren, NEVER has my mobile order ready no matter how early I order it. At first when the location opened up they said it was a glitch, but it's still going on. As soon as I walk in they start looking for the order then start making it. Defeats the whole point of ordering ahead. Very disappointing because I love their coffee and all other locations don't have this problem read more

Excellent customer service, great prices and very friendly staff. Just heard about this place and heard great things. Coffee is great, food is awesome. Will make this a regular stop! read more
