Stopped by Kraemer's this morning and ordered the Lucky Charms latte, and it ended up being such a nostalgic little treat. The flavor has this sweet, comforting vibe that immediately brought me back to childhood. Love the addition of the lucky charms marshmallows on top as well. I've been coming to Kraemer's for about a decade now, and it still has that familiar, cozy feel every time I walk in. Even as they've grown and added more staff over the years, the service has stayed warm and genuinely friendly. You can tell the people working here care about what they're doing, and that consistency is a big part of why I keep coming back. It does get busy, especially in the mornings. I've seen the line reach the door more than once, but they move quickly and keep things flowing. Even on the crowded days, I'm usually in and out faster than I expect, which I really appreciate. Their signature lattes usually land around seven to eight dollars. It's a little on the higher side, but I love trying their specialty drinks, and I'm always happy to support a local spot that puts real effort into what they serve. read more

I had seen Kramers on multiple lists of must go coffee shops in the IE for a while and I finally made it. No surprise, it was busy when I got there. The line moved quickly. I ordered a banana latte and breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious. I really appreciated how much bacon came on the sandwich. There is seating both inside and outside. I'd definitely go back read more

Riverside is severely lacking in terms of quality breakfast and lunch places, which leaves Kraemer's as the only "decent" spot around us which isn't saying much. First off, some staff have very poor attitudes and the female owner is included in that assessment. If it is even a millisecond past 11am, you will not have the option to order breakfast. There is absolutely zero exceptions even if you arrived before 11am and waited in line for over 15 minutes because it takes an absurd amount of time for customers to be rang up at the cash register. If you order a panini and are expecting anything that should come standard when you order said food item, you will be absolutely shocked at what Kraemer's defines a panini as. You'll get toast with room temperature cheese and ham. Nothing is melted whatsoever. It's actually laughable that they served something like this to us. They also use Torani syrups -- not homemade. The coffee is also extremely sub par. I can say with confidence that I'll never ever come back here and I suggest you don't waste your time or money here either. read more

Matcha was chunky and horrible. Usually its pretty good but it was undrinkable today. The matcha girl needs to lock in read more

Been here a few times, nail it almost every single time tbh. Coffee is 10/10 imo, good consistency and good flavor. Breakfast bagel also good texture and flavor. As far as the ambience, you have to be considerate that this is a busy spot, busy for a good reason. The few times i've been here, there is a little line but I don't mind waiting usually no longer than 5-10 min. I believe they use the SECRET ingredient, which is love! haha enjoy your visit at Kreamers! read more

Been on a coffee and tea kick recently and this place does not disappoint. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha and it did not disappoint. I don't expect to ever be treated special in any business, but the staff here sure made my day. The barista took time and personally walked up to me and asked if I wanted Foam and all the toppings. Then she proceeded to bring my to go order straight to the table I was sitting and waiting. That's great service and a personal touch I will always remember. I don't expect to find this hidden gem out here in Riverside. Kraemer's oozes a nice chilled atmosphere with a nice lived in vibe that makes it feel like a sanctuary in a city and not just another coffee shop. The strawberry matcha and the jalapeño cheese bagel with onions, egg and tomatoes I ordered were fantastic. The scrambled egg were freshly made and you can taste that it wasn't premade or powdered. Great value with just the right vibes, I will come back! read more

The banana matcha from here is alright. The toffee is an interesting addition. The banana is not super strong though.

We got two coffees the lady who took our order was nice and helpful but when I asked how long our drinks where going to take since we saw a lot of people get their drinks before ours . I was just curious about the wait time , which the girl handing the drinks and calling the names gave me so much attitude. I asked nicely and apologized for asking too. Then proceeds to tell me "their lattes they take long " with the nasties tone. Then proceeds to laugh . Def not coming back read more

This shop is the cutest spot! It is teenie tiny and there are 2 entrances (the side entrance puts you in line btw) but the menu is bomb. Sandwiches are so good that I completely forgot to photograph it! Everyone was friendly and kindly answered my questions, to include other patrons when I was curious what fun drink they had. Seasonal menu is fun and then they have their regular menus. Inside has some tables but it is a little loud for working or doing homework, but the tables outside were awesome since the weather was beautiful out. read more

I really like the drinks , but when it comes to service it's honestly not the greatest. Management has to improve . I had made a mobile order through there website and time pick up was at 10:30am which I arrived 10 mins early but had to wait extra 35 mins . I have a toddler and it's very overstimulating and upsetting having to still wait meanwhile staffing is just chit chatting which I find it ok but not ok to the point for mobile orders and customers waiting for service to be served it's just a lack for satisfaction for service 3/5 read more

This little warm cutesy breakfast stop has me hooked!! Don't judge me but been here 3 times this week ugh! I've had the Spanish oat latte and the bagel with the works! Bagel is soft and fresh egg fresh everything fresh!! Chocolate muffin! Oh boy! That is just heaven... Staff super nice they are super busy but service is just seamless... the place itself is small but so welcoming and home-like! If you get the chance give it a try, you will get hooked! read more

Mango sticky rice matcha was perfection! Perfect balance of sweet and matcha! Service was fast and the vibe was relaxed inside.

Excellent service! Everyone working was very kind and patient as deciding what to order was tough due to how good the menu looked! Very cozy comfortable atmosphere. The brown butter cookie latte was delicious not too sweet but not too subtle that it tastes like a regular coffee. Had a great balance of flavor while still tasting like a festive holiday treat my sister very much enjoyed the matcha! We also tried the avo toast & a breakfast sandwich that were absolutely fantastic and the portion was with the price and there was a lot more flavor than expected for a coffee shop menu! Will definitely stop here next time I'm in the area. Thanks for a wonderful experience! read more

Really solid coffee shop in Riverside! Decided to try it out on a random Saturday around 11:30 am. Line was out the door but it went by quick! The lattes are insanely good! Love that they have so many different options, I'm sure you'll find a flavor you like even if you're picky! I got the seasonal banana bread nut latte and it was really good! The banana cold foam is just perfect! My hubby got a vanilla latte with cold foam and he said it's correctly the best one he's had! They also have sandwiches and breakfast items that we'll have to try on our next visit since the coffee itself was good enough for us to visit again! read more

I visited here for the first time yesterday, and the "welcome vibes" were trash. I know how to read a room, the minute that I had walked through that door I could see the lady in the back giving eyes to another worker there and the lady cleaning the coffee machine rolling her eyes. Another group that arrived after us also received the same treatment as us. They close at 3pm and we had arrived maybe 20 min before closing as I had worked all morning. But fuck it, no need to give off shitty vibes to customers here willing to make your business thrive. I will not be recommending or returning back. The coffee was a 6 out of 10 for what I had selected so on the fair side I'd say. Better coffee places in the IE to visit where staff I'm sure is more welcoming than this group. read more

I love this spot! A bit small, with few seating areas inside and some seats outside. It does get really busy at times with standing room only. I usually do a grab and go. Their drinks are amazing and their seasonal menu is always a pleasant treat. And they sure know how to make a solid croissant sandwich. I love it! read more

Went today to get a sandwich and coffee, both of which were okay. I was with my husband who is in a wheelchair. The door I opened to go in was partially blocked by some boxes. So it couldn't open all the way for him to fit through with his chair. No problem they are tables outside, I could order and bring it outside. I had the door open for a few seconds to read him the menu. And immediately was told to close the door because the air conditioner was on by an older woman behind the counter. No hi or welcome. Or sorry about the boxes in the way. Or there is another entrance. I spotted another entrance around the corner as we were about to leave, we should have left at this point but we had an appt nearby and were trying to grab something quick. We made our way inside the other door and the girl at the front who took our order was super sweet thankfully. 2 stars for the girl who took our order and the sandwich was good. read more

So delicious and everyone that works here is so nice and pleasant. Anytime I'm in the area I make sure to stop by. Only downside is the funky hours but still doesn't stop me from coming and supporting a small business read more

Kraemer's is a must stop for breakfast. I preordered online for pickup at 9:05 and my food and drink was ready by 9:08 am. There is parking behind the strip this is located in as well as on the street in front, but this may be a challenge if it's busy. There's lots of seating inside and outside, but this place is hopping, even on a weekday. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with English muffin, egg, bacon, avocado, and American cheese. EXCELLENT. Hot and delicious - soft eggs (not overcooked), crunchy English muffin, creamy cheese, fresh avocado, and crispy bacon. Generous amount of eggs, holds shape well while eating and doesn't easily fall apart. I also ordered a tiramisu iced latte with oat milk. Delicious! Cocoa powder on top of creamy coffee, actually tasted like tiramisu. Overall - delicious food, busy workers, tasty drinks, worth it all around. read more

Drink was good, but good God, $7.15?! I don't usually go for such foo-foo drinks but after seeing someone review the Oreo Latte on Instagram, I decided to drop in and try one as a treat. I really liked the fact that there were actual cookies in the drink and it wasn't overly sweet, which I was worried about. I have a REALLY hard time justifying the price for sure, but as a one-off treat, fine. The service was also very friendly and the shop was clean. It's small inside and I could see it getting cramped during busier hours but you can tell they do the best they can with the space they're working with. read more

Really cool little coffee shop! Recommend the banana latte. Staff is friendly and fast

Had such a great first time here! Everything was delicious it was fantastic from the start. Long lines always tell me it's a great place. Customer service was amazing; even with how busy they were, they were so fast. I got the marshmallow crème top match (I think that's what it was called) and the employee's favorite sandwich, which was soooo good! Definitely recommended. read more

My first time here and this is definitely a new go to! The woman on register was super sweet and patient with me as I was deciding on what I wanted. The place itself is cozy. I wouldn't want to come during a rush if I was looking to sit and chat but still good enough for a pick up. The vegetables they used for my veggie sandwich were sooo fresh. Only half a sandwich was fulfilling. For my drink, I purchased the salted honey latte. It's definitely on the sweeter side but the shots were pulled nicely. I'm really impressed! read more

I had a brunch date at 10:30am and we met here at Kraemer's. Pretty busy around this time but luckily there's plenty of parking at the back of the building. The shop is quite small with a few tables indoor. There are tables outside, as well. The decor is cute and the facility was clean. Although it was a little busy, the line moved quickly. As we got to the register, we stood there for a good 20-30 seconds without the cashier looking up at us. So we waited. She finally looked up, looking a little annoyed, and asked us what we wanted. No friendly greeting...no hello...no smile. So off the bat, we definitely didn't feel welcome. I ordered the banana cream matcha with oatmilk that everyone seems to rave about, Dubai chocolate latte, croissant bacon & egg sandwich, and an avocado toast. However, the lady handing out the orders was super kind (I didn't catch her name but she had cute colors in her hair). The latte was watered down. I can barely taste the matcha and tasted mainly of oatmilk. My avacado toast was burnt so all I tasted was charcoal, but the avocado was good. The croissant sandwich was okay. We were pleasantly surprised that the Dubai chocolate latte was actually really good so I highly recommend. Unfortunately, even after hearing all the rave of this place, our first experience here wasn't so great and quite disappointing. read more

My wife and I have been regular Saturday customers at Kraemer's Koffee for quite some time, but after today's experience, we are seriously reconsidering whether we will return. While placing our order around lunchtime, an elderly gentleman walked in through the Brockton entrance. The employee at the register immediately turned to her coworkers and said, "It's here again," clearly referring to him. She then sarcastically told my wife that he was their "favorite" customer. Let that sink in -- staff openly mocking a customer, within earshot of other customers. Not only was it unprofessional, it was deeply disrespectful. Speaking negatively about a patron to another patron is unacceptable in any customer service setting. As we waited for our drinks, we observed the gentleman trying to find a seat and making light conversation with nearby customers. He wasn't disruptive. He wasn't rude. He appeared to be an older man simply attempting small talk -- something many elderly individuals do, especially if they may be lonely. Instead of showing patience or basic courtesy, the staff chose to ridicule him. If employees feel comfortable making those comments out loud, it makes you wonder what is said about other customers behind their backs. Customer service is not just about making coffee -- it's about treating people with dignity. Today, that standard was not met. Very disappointing. read more

This cafe is a hidden gem! I had no idea it was in this area, right between Arlington and Central. It's located on a strip of mom and pop shops. There's 10 minute parking, 10am to 6pm right in front of these businesses. There's also a back lot for parking as well. We arrived at on a Saturday, an hour before closing. The cafe was busy and there seemed to be quite a bit of people inside but not packed. There was always coming people coming and going, very steadily. There is two entrances: one in front and by the side. The cafe is nicely decorated, with coffee signage and decor, making it feel like a home. There also a but coffee first wall for photo ops. I took a look at their menu. They offer a variety of specialty drinks, as well as breakfast and lunch. I noticed they have an option to build your own breakfast sandwich and cold sandwich for either meals. I was debating between the banana cream matcha and a sugar cookie matcha. I decided on the last option. Once ordering, the cashier asked me what substitute milk I would like. I asked her what type would go well with the drink and she said it was just a matter of preference, but oat was good. She was very friendly and helpful. I asked if the milk was gluten free, which she let me know it was. There are two sizes, regular and large. Drinks were a reasonable price and we did have to wait long. We went outside, where they have a sort of patio area. My drink was very delicious! They added sprinkles to the foam on top. Sweet and creamy because of the oat milk. Matcha was prepared well. My boyfriend got the hot vanilla latte. He liked it. My first time here and I enjoyed it! read more

Amazing!!! I drive 45 minutes to my Dr appointment in Riverside and my daughter and I wanted a coffee after so we tried Kraemers and I'm glad we did.

We are looking forward to going back and making the drive just for the coffee. read more

I really like this coffee shop and their sandwiches are pretty good. However , their lattes are WAY TOO SWEET I always ask for them half sweet and they still feel super sweet. And my personal opinion would be better that they don't sweeten them as much and if clients ask for them extra sweet, then they can add additional sweetener vs having to remake the drink just because it's too sweet. Over I would recommend and definitely plan to go back but now with the intention of asking for lattes a quarter sweet. read more

If you love coffee you will love this place. It's a small independent coffee shop. They offer a wide variety of drinks. They also have a lot of different breakfast and lunch items.
