Had to stop by cuz it sounded amazing! It was my first time in this area, and I was limited on time, so I'm regretting that I didn't try any of their baked goods. There were so many options to choose from! Since I was in a rush, all I got was a hot matcha latte with oat milk substitution, which all came out to be about $7... the taste was alright but unfortunately slightly more on the milky side. I prefer my latte to taste more matcha and have the right amount of sweetness rather than on the milky side. So, the drink itself would be a 3.5/5. Again, so many food and baked goods options that I wish I could've taken my time. I like the nice, open space and decor. Hopefully, one will open up in OC! read more

Finally got to try this place after passing by every week! The drinks are definitely on the sweeter side but you can definitely modify to your liking. We ordered some new cold foam drinks they had to offer which were hands down better than Starbucks! They offer a wide selection of pastries, cookies, cupcakes, cakes, etc! They also have sandwiches..they had a lobster grilled cheese WTF!! This might be my new favorite coffee shop! read more

The energy was a bit hostile. I came in to buy a coffee and the cashier was alone. I noticed there was a couple off the side and I asked the couple and "if they were waiting in line," to which they responded "no, go ahead." Without letting me respond, she "I'm going to help them right now, just wait a minute" it's not what she said is how she said it. I'm not sure it was just weird energy. It makes me not want to go back, and I was super excited to try this spot:( Then I was called to order but I didn't go up to the register because she had previously said she was helping the couple first and then she just repeated "Are you ready?" Aside from the the coffee was good, and the sandwich was good as well. read more

cupcake and espresso is usually okay. Today I went and the food I got was completely burn. I had got a cookie and the bottom and edges of it was burnt and gross. I only ate the middle, but it was still gross. Get better employees that know how to heat up a cookie. It was in Moreno Valley On a Sunday at around 10:00. It was the one by vista height, or cayon spring. It happened On sun 3\16\25. Talk to the employees working that day they need to be held accountable for their actions. One of my family members drink was completely melted even though it had been sitting out for around only 3 minutes. I took a photo so I do have poof.Do better! read more

Update: I know they aren't supposed to read my minds! But from every location I've gone to they always always ask if I want it warmed up. There was no rush at all whatsoever I was the only customer in line! So I don't get the sudden need to rush me, look at me up and down, and just have a stare at me! I hope CB has some talk with their employees about how to treat customers. May this be a lesson or tip for improvement. read more

Workers are Awesome!! Always kind and so respectful! I love the bagels so yummy !!! MUY BEIN.

Iced horchata lattes is good, more on the sweeter side recommend the horchata cold brew for stronger taste . Highly recommend toffee nut white mocha it gives cozy, fall vibes read more

Overall-I will be back. I feel like their menu is very overwhelming. So much to choose from, which for some is great, but when you swing by in the drive thru, I feel so much pressure lol. Their service is great, and quick. So that's always appreciated! Next time I visit j will be checking the menus out prior to heading there lol read more

I was happy to see a coffee bar in a remote area with limited coffee locations. I love a good coffee and/or espresso and prefer local spots vs a known commercial chain. The Americano I ordered was average, nothing special, and at the same time not surprised it was average based on what I believe to be Lavazza coffee. Normally, local shops partner with certain roasters and that is why I appreciate them more. Still an opportunity for that to happen. Overall though, for convenience, I'll take this over a local AM/PM. The staff were real friendly and the place looks fairly ample if you need to get some studying in. read more

Rainy day, decided to stop by for a hot drink and some food, we had great customer service and very generous! The drive thru is super convenient but will definitely make a trip back for the view of the inside. read more

They have decent coffee. The food and coffee is very overpriced for what they sell. If I'm not mistaken they don't roast their own beans. The service here is also terrible the staff is not friendly and when I stepped up to order I waited over 10 minutes and they all seemed annoyed to have a customer in the store. read more

All I had was a coffee here. I ordered the honey and cinnamon latte. Very tasty and not too sweet! Planning on coming back to actually try their cupcakes. read more

The coffee at this place is solid. I agree the food is hit or miss, but if you want a good coffee/expresso this is a place to go. They know how to make a cappuccino. The coffee is on par with Kean Coffee in the OC or Peets. I have never had one of their coffees and thought I wasted money, like has happened at other places. read more

Slow as snails ! Shitty service and expect to wait forever for one drink . You know there is a Morning rush then staff appropriately or move faster period . read more

I love this place! From the drinks to the tasty treats, everything's amazing. The friendly & thoughtful staff always keep me coming back. Definitely recommend going inside for a nice visit but the drive thru is very convenient as well. I love the vibes here. The selection is winner for hot coffees, cold teas, delicious sandwiches and pastries. read more

Hands down live the cupcakes here and since they closed the one in Redlands I go down to on the one in Moreno Valley/Riverside. That is all I order but the environment is just like a Starbucks. read more

Decided to stop by a couple of weeks ago to check out this new location, and it did not disappoint. Walking in it smelled of good coffee, everyone working was so welcoming and friendly, and all of the pastries and desserts looked amazing! There were so many choices, I couldn't even decide. The Italian lemon cheesecake did grab my attention, and then I let my son choose a few cupcakes to-go. We ended up with a chocolate one, a turtle type, a mounds flavor and a lavender honey. We got home and shared them as a family, each taking bites of the different flavors as went. All of them really were so good - nice soft and moist cakes with a good amount of frosting and the different flavors all came through nicely. And the lemon cheesecake - so yum! While there, I saw their signs up for coffees and breakfast sandwiches too. We'll be back again soon to give those a try. read more

Checked out this place over the weekend. Such a cool spot. It's a large area inside, with plenty of options for sitting, studying etc. would be a great place for a paint night. I went a little hard on all the desserts because the options! By far the Strawberry Cake Pop and Lucky Charms Rice Krispy were my fav. The staff was very helpful and patient when I asked the flavoring if everything. Also!! There's a drive thru!!! That's a huge one up in my book. The desserts were reasonably priced, espresso was delicious and refreshing. There were also heavier options for lunch, like lobster grilled cheese didn't try that tho. I will definitely be back to try some more items. They've been open about a month and they're def a hidden gem! read more

Came in today and it was a lovely experience. They have so much to choose from. I got a salted caramel cold brew which was amazing!!! I have celiac disease so it's hard for me to find places with gluten free options but they sure did have some desserts. Thank you so much for thinking of us gluten free people, we appreciate it! The gluten free red velvet cupcake was delicious. read more

I've been waiting for a local coffee shop for so long!!

Not my first visit, in fact, I probably visit weekly. Although, this time when I walked in the smell from their cleaning supplies was overwhelming..so much so, I almost turned around and left. But we stayed because we are fans of their coffee. In addition to the coffee this time like so many other times we bought a couple muffins. My husband got the tried and true pumpkin muffin (always scrumptious). I decided to try the coffee cake muffin. I took the muffin to work for breakfast the next morning and it actually tasted how the cleaning supplies smelled. I was so disappointed. I am still giving a 3 star review because like I said we are weekly visitors and although this muffin left a bad taste In my mouth (literally). There is still a lot to be said about this coffee shop. read more

Came in for the first time today, I ordered 2 pastries and they were both delicious! So glad to have a nice cafe spot in the neighborhood to be able to study at! The workers recommendations were great! Will definitely be returning read more

If I had to rate this place out of 10, it'd be a 2/10. I got the iced cinnamon honey latte which was mid- had a strong cinnamon flavor and didn't like the after taste. I got the lavender cupcake and it was good but if you're planning on getting any of the breakfast sandwiches and if you're expecting them to be fresh then expect to be disappointed because they're premade. read more

First time here! We arrived about 15 minutes before closing and were worried the staff would be upset or even a little rude, but 2/3 were absolutely amazing. The cashier guy took our order and chatted briefly. The girl who made our order also offered a smile and prepared our drink rather quickly. The girl mopping was the one who ignored us when I politely asked if we could still order and then ignored me again when I apologized for arriving late :( The shop is super adorable and I'll definitely try and return sometime to be able to take pictures of my drink on their cute little grass wall. It has adorable pink lights so it'll make a cute background to your coffee! There's also a large seating area available inside and it seemed like they usually have tables and chairs outside too because those were by the door. Looked like they had just been brought inside. We ordered a blueberry scone, a chocolate chip cookie, and an iced horchata latte. The coffee was better than amazing! We finished it so quickly that the drink didn't even make it home. The blueberry scone was perfectly soft and delicious. Hubby liked his chocolate chip cookie! All in all, we loved our first quick experience here. We'll probably be back for the coffee and to try other pastries. Hopefully, next time, ALL workers will seem kind! read more

It saddens me... I use to love this place and the couple of other stores they had. The past couple times I have gone the cupcakes have been dry and flavorless. Staff is always helpful and friendly, store is always cozy and clean and just feels welcoming. I love their banana cupcake, it's been ages since they have had it a week or so ago I stopped in... 1 left.. I was just so disappointed. No flavor. And the icing was so overpowering. read more

The pastries and cookies where ok but not worth the money I paid. I've had better pastries and cookies at other places and did not pay the prices I did at this location. The employees are really nice and helpful and the place is cute. Went once and that was enough. read more

This is a solid spot for coffee. Food is nothing to write home about, but no worse than Starbucks. Coffee is very good consistently.

Went there for my coffee and breakfast sandwich, and while I've visited before this is the first time I want my money back. Went through the drive thru spoke loudly because traffic noise makes it hard for them to hear. Ordered a latte, was hoping I could get it warm not hot and when she repeated hot back to me twice I got it. No biggie I'll just wait a bit. So I get up to the window, the girl (I haven't seen this one as of yet on drive thru) tries staring me down, okie dokie thanks. Then they had to remake the order because it was wrong. Totally fine not a big deal I don't mind. Then I get my coffee and it's scorching hot. I've never had a coffee this hot in my life, and I am no spring chicken let me tell you...So I'm thinking surely not? Surely they did not make it extra hot to be petty? I get to where I'm going, ice it down, and start drinking it and it's disgusting. I'm not one to just shoot things out, I give people the benefit of the doubt. I tried it and there was no redemption in that coffee. None. And I had ordered it with almond milk as I'm lactose intolerant so after tasting the burnt flavor of the coffee I stopped drinking it because quite frankly I don't want a date with the water closet in the foreseeable future. So while I get that everyday is different in the service industry this is the first time I legitimately want a refund on my coffee. It was utterly distasteful, and I'm sorry if the person is new or in training I understand completely however, I still want my money back. read more

I was super excited to try this place. I'm not sure what compelled me to get a lobster grilled cheese at a bakery style location. That item needs to be banished. I did order two Oreo cupcakes.. they were good. Overall a bit expensive for what I received.. I ate two bites of the sandwich. The "lobster" was basically minced, the sandwich didn't provide the "grilled cheese" effect. It was ran through a toaster oven, and cheese was not melted through. I'd possibly go back for some cupcakes or coffee. read more
