Interior is pretty standard and clean, there's 8 tables with plenty of space. Often find people hanging out here and/or doing work or just on their laptops, etc. Service is pretty quick as well, drinks get out fast and staff is quite friendly. As good service as you can get for a drinks shop. Drinks here are like other 7 Leaves Cafes, my go tos are Jasmine Milk Tea, Summer Mint, and Oolong Milk Tea. Coffee options are available and they even have small bites like Macaroons. Overall, pretty standard 7 Leaves Cafe, this one even has a restroom, which requires a code from the staff. Free Wifi which is great as well.

Very disappointed with my recent takeout order. The drinks were not properly sealed, and one of the…read morecoffees leaked throughout the bag during transport, creating a huge mess. Unfortunately, the coffee seeped into the packaging of the macarons, contaminating them and making them unsafe for my children to eat. To make matters worse, the chocolate macarons we ordered were out of stock, requiring a substitute, which added to the inconvenience. For an order totaling nearly $60, I expected better packaging and quality control. Properly sealing drinks for takeout should be a basic standard, especially when food items are packed alongside beverages. Photos of the leaking drink, damaged macarons, and receipt have been provided. Very frustrating experience. Order #24290506 06/14/2026 12:15pm

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.

This place has consistently been so good. Ok fine maybe 1 time recently, my wintermelon tea was a little off. But normally and usually, it's always very good. Their brown sugar milk tea with mini boba. The best. It's my favorite. Even their popcorn chicken is amazing. I love you boba tea house! The merch is always cute too.

It could be a bit creamier, but it was still very enjoyable. The jasmine milk tea with regular sugar and light ice was just okay. I would not get it again since it tasted kind of bland. The main attraction here is definitely the popcorn chicken, however the food feels a little overpriced for the portion size. It was flavorful, well seasoned, perfectly salty, and crispy. Even at medium spice, it had a nice kick. There were no weird pieces either. The only downside is some inconsistency in size since a few pieces could be smaller. The mozzarella sticks were also very good. I prefer them with ketchup instead of marinara. They are your typical mozzarella sticks and taste good, but the popcorn chicken is what really stands out.

It doesnt even feel like a strip mall, and it's certainly not a shopping plaza. Feels like the area belongs to a shady insurance office, but Lift Coffee is there The interior is dark, warm, and cozy. Turns a hot Riverside day into an evening-like feel. It is super great for sitting and studying The only downside is that, the drinks and food can be a bit expensive. The drink I got was like $7 which is standard, but ir wasnt very profounding. Cookies latte was interesting but I saw that they used those fake cookies from a snack bag. Not the worst and it was also on a poster (cant complain haha), but I wonder if theyll ever make it homemade or something. Then Ill pay more for it, as the current iteration wasnt the best nor worst. Also, the food doesnt come with a price tag so beware

I wasn't a fan of the sugar cane juice tho coz I'm used to having it with kumquat or calamansi. If they ever offer that, I'll be here even more often than ever. Other favorites are the yogurt, mango avalanche, and the mt. Evermilk. Today trying tiger milk tea and excited to try it (it is a mix of milk tea and Thai iced tea). The place is nice and big with comfy couches even for those who are waiting for to-go orders. There's also a kiosk to order so you can make sure that they have exactly your order. I haven't been to the other location but I'm so glad they are expanding. Hopefully they end up opening one in Moreno valley haha.

They rearranged the interior and it is the perfect set up. Idk if it was a busy day or short staffed day, but when I came there was a line to the door with two people working. I was not in a rush and planned to work at the shop so it all worked out for me. I ordered their loaded breakfast sandwich in a croissant and caramel cafe latte. Okay.. I was steered wrong, but also super indecisive. The croissant is not the way to go if you don't like getting dirty while eating. It was bomb, don't get me wrong. However, I had flakes all over myself, table and floor. The cafe latte was really good and perfectly balanced. The shop is very inviting and designed beautifully. I really enjoyed seeing the different variety of plants and nicknacks. I would get the sandwich again, but on a bagel next time. Overall it was a really good experience and I can't wait to go back. They even have a tv for the World Cup games going on right now.

The tables are not too crowded so you can get around, but unfortunately not every table is powered. Overall not a bad place to chill and study. The parking lot isn't too small for downtown but will definitely get filled quickly. The drinks were pretty good. I like the uniqueness of the banana pudding drink and the double matcha was light and refreshing - if I had a choice though, I would add more matcha as I like mine stronger. My dog though was super happy for the pup cup. Plus side he didn't vomit, so the one they made wasn't too heavy for him compared to coffee bean's formula. They also put a nice cookie for him (sadly he wasn't interested as he doesn't like most dog treats). I just super appreciate having a place where I can bring him indoors in this heat!
