    I visited La Tacita on a cold, snowy day and was happy they were open. This Mexican inspired coffee shop is located in the heart of Riverside that was in desperate need of some good coffee. The espresso was particularly delicious. I had a honey latte and the carrot cake. I will be back!

    I don't usually like matcha, but this one was so good. I also got their special, Mexican White chocolate iced coffee, but I ended up drinking all of it before I got a picture lol. The inside has a nice calm vibe.

    So yummy I forgot to let the camera drink first!

    Tried a cafe olla latte - so much flavor and I don't love overly sweet and this was just perfect.

    Lovely spot with cozy atmosphere and delicious coffee. The Cafe de Olla was tasty and the mini pancakes were wonderful. Friendly service too. Highly recommend.

    Delish Atole Flight .  Warm crispy soft croissant . Dulce de olla is top tier

    The cutest little coffee shop. Very attentive quick service and delicious coffee. I will surely be back to try their Dulzura de cacahuate.

    A charming new coffee shop on Vivion Rd in Northmoor that has been open for just a few weeks. La Tacita brings some cool vibes to the run down strip mall that it resides in. The low overhead seems to be passed along to the customers because my double cortado and large sandwich was $11. 50... more than fair for the quality and great customer service. Offering coffee and espresso based drinks with beans from Broadway Roasters. They also feature smoothies and fresh juices, pastries and in house made breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The space is compact with about 4 tables and some counter seating along with a few cafe style patio tables. The cafe's name and decor invoke Latin America, yet the menu is decidedly Anglo. The owner Cardo, was genuinely appreciative of my patronage and was eager to talk about his business, coffee in general and ask questions and for feedback. It is an absolute pleasure when a business owner engages with with his customers in such a forthright, positive and inquisitive nature. I'm thankful that La Tacita is only 2 blocks from my work; I know that I will be a near daily regular! My Cortado was great and the "Savory Surprise" sandwich was exceptional: Ciabatta roll with Prosciutto, Ham, Salami, Muenster, Spring mix, Artichokes and Pesto. Five stars on all measurable metrics.

    The best breakfast sandwich and green smoothie ever! Very cute place will definitely come back

    Food, service and ambiance are amazing. This place is a hidden gem. The tres leches is divine. Must try.

    Golden Cheese-Egg crust cheese sandwich

    I rarely leave reviews but this place was too good. I was looking for coffee and found this awesome little coffee shop. The inside is set up really nice and the staff working were really kind. I ordered a vanilla bean latte with oat-milk and it was delicious! I also got my kids this amazing green smoothie and an egg crust cheese sandwich. All of it was great! I highly recommend trying this place out! It's my new favorite place!

    Beautiful wall art!

I also bought a gift box for out of town friends and some to take home. The pricing is a bit steep, but the presentation, quality and sourcing is first class. Bootleg has built an online presence and has scored some prestigious awards for desserts which is good because I don't think that this location in Riverside is high profile enough to keep the lights on. Thankfully they are using the space not just for retail, but a home base for manufacturing, online sales and distribution to other retail outlets around the city. This is carry-out only, so don't expect to have a seat and sip a cappuccino while nibbling the intoxicating ball of sweetness. A bit pricey for just to come in and take one to go, but a perfect place to order those high-end gourmet gift boxes for the foodie in your life or thank business associates. Product and customer service - 5 stars Specific location and pricing - 3 stars

    As a northlander, I am so grateful to have a McLain's north of the river and on my way to work…read moreevery morning! The pick-up is so quick and easy - just order online, pop-in, and grab your order off the shelves to the left of the entry door. You can't go wrong with the food here from girl breakfast, to the plain + simple breakfast sandwich, to the pepperjack burrito, to the market bowl, lunch menu and their many many mouthwatering pastries. And don't forget about the coffee! They have both real mugs and to-go cups. I love their regular drip coffee, cold brew, cappuccinos and lattes. The cafe's interior design is modern, chic and comfortable with a mix of booth and table seating. I can usually find a seat for 2-4 people, groups larger than that may have a hard time finding a seat during peak times like weekend mornings. Seasonally, McLain's offers outdoor seating, too. Best of all, the staff makes you feel right at home - welcoming, friendly, helpful, hardworking and clean. Parking is angled street parking out front. Sometimes I have to walk a bit but never more than a block. Just writing this has me craving McLain's already.

This is a frequent stop for me and never fails to meet or exceed my expectations. Today's simple visit consisted of bottomless drip coffee and a chocolate chip cookie while getting some bright natural light to read my current book!

    We FINALLY moseyed our way into Hey Sugar today and we were not disappointed! Right off the top,…read moreyou can see from the outside that it's going to be adorable...it's hot pink and aesthetic to the max! But then you walk in and to call it charmingly sweet is an understatement. We came in specifically for an ice cream cone on a hot summer day but if you are in search of hard to find or unique candy, this is a good place to stop in as they have selections from all over the world! I was also pleasantly surprised to find out they stock ice cream from One More Scoop which is always a favorite in our house! Although it was a difficult decision after some sampling, I went with the Gooey Butter Cake ice cream on a sugar cone and my forever date chose the coconut cream pie ice cream in a cup. SO MUCH YUM! If you find yourself in the area, please stop in to Hey Sugar! They are delicious, kind and the vibe is totally spot on. (Special shout out to the beverage drinking bovine on the wall...so cute!)

How?…read more Well, the brightest pink building in a tri-state area might have had something to do with it! Just as cute on the inside as the out, Hey Sugar is a TOTAL gem! We popped in for ice cream, of which they had dozens of incredible flavors (which they were extremely generous in sampling out!), but they also have sweets and treats of so many other varieties! Candy, shakes, Italian sodas, shaved ice, dippin dots, and agua frescas, at the very least! Suffice to say, there's countless ways to earn your cavities here! ...and you'll love every second of it! The young lady working the counter on our visit was super kind and helpful, and her ice cream-scooping prowess was outstanding! There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your delectable sweets, as you admire all the different candy and treats you can purchase to take along with you! Hey Sugar shot to the top of our list to visit any time we have a sweet tooth in this part of town!
