I just discovered Vietnamese Coffee!!! Wow!! Better than thai ice tea. I stopped in to meet the amazing artist and found another one of his hidden gems! The vibe at Earth Cafe is amazing! The owners welcomed me so graciously with smiles. What a lovely place for a chill light lunch with a friend. Keyword is "chill!" Look forward to seeing more of his art on the wall and listening to his amazing Playlist of soft classic rock again. Keep this place rocking and chilling, we need hidden gems like this in Riverside. Forget the food court at the mall. Visit Earth Cafe! read more

This spot used to be Neko, but the new ownership is already doing everything right. I stopped in before running errands and had to try their Vietnamese coffee... and it's better than Lee's. I'm not even exaggerating. Rich, creamy, perfectly strong, and only $5. If they ever drop a biscoff Vietnamese coffee, it's over. They'd go viral instantly. I also grabbed the popcorn chicken and it was mmm just delicious. Super crunchy, perfectly seasoned. And thank god they also add basil, that's my favorite. It honestly reminded me of my mom's popcorn chicken, which is saying a lot. Staff is incredibly friendly, and they mentioned they've only been open for about two weeks and are still doing a 10% discount. Definitely stop by and support a local business that's already killing it. read more

Sometimes the best things are the ones you find by accident . I was craving an ice tea because it was so hot outside and this place popped up . I saw that these place had good reviews so it immediately caught my interest . I walked in three minutes before they opened and the owner was nice enough to let me order . I looked over the menu and decided on the peach Lemon ice tea . The tea was very refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness . I also loved how kind everyone was here and made me feel so welcome . I also loved that the drinks were affordable and that they offer summer specials that if you buy food you get an ice tea to go with it . The ambiance of this place was also cute as well and the colors definitely popped . I can't wait to come back and try the food . read more

I got the salted coffee and it is one of the best coffees I've ever had the pleasure of tasting!! I also visited previously with my friends and they all loved their drinks, too (strawberry smoothie and thai tea). The staff is very friendly, as well as having a really nice atmosphere if you wanna hang out for a while. Nice and cool during this hot weather If you haven't be here, it is definitely worth your time! read more

New Earth Cafe has a warm, welcoming and "Earthy" vibe. The owner is such a kind man, he has welcomed our family with so much hospitality. The food and drinks are delicious at Earth Cafe and well priced! All food and drinks are made to order, our family has ordered it all and everything is prepared with so much care and well sized portions to share with your family. Our family loves the Popcorn chicken, I prefer to order Teas, my kids love the Boba drinks and my Husband loves his Thai Tea. You must try Earth Cafe! Perfect for a date with your family or a special someone. It's quiet enough to study here. 10 out of 10! Don't miss out on their current deal, you can't beat a Meal and delicious beverage for under $15. read more

Great place! The guava lemon tea is delicious, it comes with lychee jelly but I asked for it without as I'm not a fan. I ordered the popcorn chicken curry with the chicken on the side so it wouldn't get soggy. The curry and rice serving is generous and all of it is delicious. The popcorn chicken is really good here, I'd come just for this it's that good. The couple working here are really sweet. The man who took our order brought our food out to us as the restaurant was pretty empty when we came. The music is nice and not too loud to hold a conversation over. It was pretty quiet when we came but that's probably because it was pretty slow at the time we went, so nice and chill. I'd highly recommend this place. Right now they're running a promotion for their opening where you get a free drink with the popcorn chicken or shrimp curry rice entree. read more

Neko Cafe is under new management and it couldn't be in better hands. After a brief remodel, our favorite boba spot has reopened as Earth Cafe with beautiful decor and a nearly identical menu. The restaraunt now features floral displays on the walls and a fantastic mural all in soothing earth tones. We ordered a Matcha Latte with Cheese foam and a Plain Yogurt Smoothie. Our drinks were delicious with the addition of fresh chewy boba. We can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

Earth Cafe - Passion Fruit iced tea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, California

Service is great and their Vietnamese coffee is delicious. I tried their tea but they are more like sugary drink, no tea flavor. The popcorn chicken is not bad, but its used to be really good under Neko's management (former business). The oil they use has a taste like it has been recycled, not fresh. read more

New place just opened 5/1/26! This was previously Neko Cafe. Business owners are sweet and currently giving out 10% discount for their soft opening. I got the classic milk tea and mild popcorn chicken (forgot to take a pic, they were delicious and the chicken was nice and crispy. Other places serve their popcorn chicken with pretty high spiciness already, but their mild is actually mild which I appreciate. It wasn't offered right away but you can adjust the sweetness level of the drinks. I asked for less sweet and it was exactly how I like it. I'll be coming back. read more

Apparently, neko cafe went under new ownership, so they're currently giving customers a 10% off! The prices look like they're really affordable. The floors and table were clean and the owners are super nice. I ordered the popcorn chicken and the crème brûlée milk tea and they tasted really good, the popcorn chicken is one of the best I've ever had and the milk tea tasted really good also, not overly sweet. Would definitely come again! read more

Stopped by yesterday after looking for a nearby snack to eat on the way home as we're not from the area. The popcorn chicken caught our eye as it actually had basil in it. The staff was really nice and informed us that right now with any food purchase you get one of the $5 drink options free. We opted for popcorn chicken & the shrimp curry special with a matcha and coffee. The popcorn chicken was perfectly seasoned and the shrimp curry was a hit as well. We will definitely stop here again the next time we're in Riverside! read more

Earth Cafe - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, California

lovely place to grab a quick snack! in my opinion earth cafe (prev. neko cafe) has the best authentic popcorn chicken in this area. popcorn chicken (5/5): my go to! juicy, tender, chicken with crispy basil, perfectly seasoned. i like that they give you a side of seasoning if needed, and sweet and spicy sauce. fried calamari (3.5/5): flavor was good, but i thought the calamari was dry and tough to bite. the oil also tasted like old oil this day. avocado smoothie (3/5): i was hoping for a simple fresh avocado smoothie but the taste was off, maybe they used a combination of powder and fresh avocado but this was not for me. passion fruit green tea (5/5): classic, very refreshing. perfect sweet and sour, and they put a mint leaf on top :) overall great place, will be back read more

Had the popcorn chicken and curry + creme brûlée milk tea, 10/10! Great taste in the sauce, rice was perfect: not dry or mushy, and the best part was the popcorn chicken of course: seasoned well, and nice and crispy! The crème brûlée was sweet and creamy, but not overwhelmingly sweet I'd say. It was so good! But then, it always is. I had actually already been here a couple of times before with the previous management, glad to see the food hasn't lost it's quality at all, and new management is very friendly and attentive. Made sure to tell me about the summer special they were having, which I greatly appreciate. Didn't hover over me while I was eating in an unsettling way, but made sure to give me service whenever I needed something. Cozy place. So yeah, basically it's awesome lol, highly recommend going!! read more

Earth Cafe - Popcorn chicken curry + creme brûlée milk tea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, California

As we entered the location, we were greeted with friendly staff, with greetings, not just shouting out words with no direction. The location is very clean, neat , and appealing to the eyes. Looking at the selections they have, everything looks great. From the food to the drinks. The drinks were enjoyable. The salted coffee and the Thai tea with boba. Dare I say the coffee here is way better than another location that sells sandwiches. Not to drop any names. The cookies n cream smoothie was great as well. It's a hidden gem of a spot and they deserve support from locals and visitors. Will definitely come back again read more

Earth Cafe - Three drinks ordered: Thai tea, salted coffee, and cookies n cream smoothie - Asian Fusion Near Me - Riverside, California

Have came here twice! The place is pretty quiet and chill, but the people who work there are really sweet. After you order, they give you a stamp card. I tried their creme brûlée and brown sugar milk tea. My siblings have tried their thai tea, taro smoothie and Vietnamese coffee--all were good in our opinion. Pricing is cheap compared to other bubble tea places ($5.00-$6.00). We recently tried their popcorn chicken deal that comes with a free drink ($9.00)! It comes with a side of sauce and chili powder, it was a good snack. Would for sure come back again. read more

I truthfully really needed to submit a few assignments for school and was nearby so I stopped at Earth Cafe for the first time to use their wifi. I was so pleasantly surprised by my new find!! The staff were so friendly and made me feel so welcome. The cafe was very cute and clean. I ordered a Thai Tea and the Popcorn Chicken after the kind guy at the counter told me about their summer special (when you order food you get a free drink!). Both were absolutely delicious. Definitely give the popcorn chicken a try and support this adorable cafe!! :) read more
