    Love this place! They have the best food. I came here months ago with my bestie. I remember telling my husband about the amazing food, fantastic service, and upbeat atmosphere. He even loved my leftovers and insisted we come back together. Today was finally the day! He was hesitant to make the drive at first since we're about 15-20 minutes away. But he had zero regrets after taking a bite of the chilaquiles verdes with chicken. We were also pleasantly surprised at how delicious the passion fruit iced tea was. We try to avoid sugary drinks so it was a refreshing treat. I re-order the birria Benedict. Honestly, just as delicious as I remember it. I ordered a strawberry horchata latte to go. The tvs were playing DJ sets and my husband and I kept giggling that one of the DJs looked like Robert Downey Jr. It was honestly just what we needed for a lazy Saturday. We were helped out by Jacob who was attentive, funny, and honestly one of the best multitaskers I've seen. They're going to start accepting online orders in the next week or so. You'd be missing out by not coming in person but you'd be crazy to not try their delicious food.

    Arrived at Madres for breakfast, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I had the birria omelette, and it was packed with flavor--definitely a must-try! I almost passed on ordering it because of a negative review, but I'm so glad I didn't. It exceeded my expectations. The service was friendly and attentive, and the overall experience was excellent. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend Madres to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast! Coffee was delicious as well.

    Check the full review @itsamandachamberlain Madre in Riverside was a great brunch experience from start to finish. The restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere that's perfect for a weekend brunch with friends or family. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as impressive. The service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Whether you're looking for a relaxing brunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply trying a new restaurant, Madre is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    I met up with a friend here for brunch on a Sunday. The wait was about 20 to 30 minutes, which isn't bad for a proclaimed brunch location. It felt like a long time though after we were seated to get service. We put in our drink orders, but they took a really long time to come out. They came out almost at the same time as our food, which is rough because you're trying to space out your alcohol intake over the course of the visit. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my mimosa flight. It was pretty standard I got the version with pineapple, orange juice and cranberry juice for $20. Not bad pricing. I got the churro French toast and bacon which was good. The bacon was a little small and could've been crispy. My friend's daughter got the chilequiles which were mid. My friend got the Nutella French toast. She liked it. If you live in this neighborhood or are 15-20minutes away I think this is a nice place to swing by, but for me the drive was a bit much when there are closer places with similar offerings.

    If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast, then Madres Brunch is for you! This vibrant yet cozy restaurant offers large portions of pancakes, French toast, and waffles that are best for sharing with your table. Since you cant have sweet without the savory, we also tried their steak and eggs which I really enjoyed most. They also offer a great selection of beverages from mimosas to strawberry flavored horchata. Both the interior and exterior of the restaurant is filled with beautiful paintings on their walls and the staff here are very friendly and accommodating. Its a fun spot for brunch, especially for young adults.

    Finally made it to this place! we tried coming last year, but there was a three hour wait so yes I recommend you come early because they get very busy and it gets full; we ordered the coffee flight, the red Chilaquiles with Birria and the omelette with Chilaquiles. Everything was so good. We had no room for dessert, but we kept looking around and all the plates looked amazing. We will come back and try something sweet as well our waiter was really nice. It turns out they were a little short staffed because a couple people called off on Mother's Day so imagine that it's definitely cute. Can't wait to try the other locations.

    We had to wait about 15 minutes on a Sunday morning. Not too bad. The exterior is just a basic brick building but inside they have it all decked out in flowers, pink lights, and butterflies. It's very cute. They have flights for everything! The matcha flight was so good. Each one had a very strong fruity flavor. It was hard to pick a favorite. The side of potatoes were great. The French Toast was giant but I think that made them a bit too dry for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner slice of bread to soak up more of the egg mixture. They have an extensive menu though so I would go back to try more.

    I loved the aesthetics of this brunch place! Not just the cute wall decor, but also the food. It definitely has picture-worthy dishes to choose from :) Flavor-wise, everything tasted pretty standard, not bad but also not exceptional. However, I would come back here for sure just to have a fun brunch with friends or to try other dishes, as they had lots of options! Lastly, the service was great with kind servers and quick waiting times for the food.

    The food here is actually really good, no complaints there. Whoever is back in that kitchen is doing their thing. But the overall experience feels like a test of patience and financial endurance. First off, the service moves at the speed of a DMV line the day after a holiday weekend. We had enough time between ordering and getting our food to reflect on life choices, reconnect spiritually, and consider applying for jobs there so we could check on our own order ourselves. Now let's talk about the drinks. Not cocktails, not fancy handcrafted lavender infused mocktails served by a guy named Sebastian. I'm talking regular soft drinks. Sodas. The kind you buy in a 12 pack at the grocery store. They bring them out in the actual can, no glass, no ice, no refill, no illusion of generosity whatsoever. And if you dare to ask for a second one? Boom, another $4 charge. Charging $4 per soda can while also making me pour it myself feels less like dining and more like I accidentally entered a luxury survival experience. At that point just hand me the Costco case and let me finance it. Again, the food was good. But between the slow service and the hostage negotiation approach to canned soda distribution, it's hard not to leave slightly irritated and oddly dehydrated.

    First time visiting Madres. Two locations, this was the Riverside one, other is in Rancho Cucamonga. Best part of our order was the coffee. The chilaquiles had some heat, but lacked layers of complimentary flavors. The churro French toast was more like a cronut, harder than French toast is supposed to be, lots of crunch which I wasn't expecting. Maybe with a side of syrup or a carmel drizzle with whipped cream drizzle would have elevated it. It's beautiful inside and fun ambience wise, the staff were super friendly and attentive, I just wish the food delivered as much as the pictures suggest they did. I would come again, I would order the coffee and try different items.

    Madres Brunch' The food was delicious, the chilaquiles were especially yummy, and the pancakes had just the right amount of sweetness. Our waiter, Omar, was friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the experience even better. Great food and great service. We'll definitely be back!

    Club lounge kind of vibe if you're into that. Not the mood for 8 am for me. So unexpectedly walked into that not knowing lol For the food I ordered it took about 30 minutes to get and it was a fairly large plate for 22 dollars (it should be for that price) however the food was cold and only slightly warm in the inside of the middle. I read the other reviews mentioning this. So it's definitely a reoccurring thing here. I guess it's cool to come and have mimosas and hang out and listen to music but wouldn't recommend ordering food . For vibes only

    Great brunch spot! Parking can be a bit challenging and limited. Restaurant has a good vibe and staff are friendly. Food was really good, nice portions and decently priced!

    Do they have a liquor license yet?

    Not yet!!!! Hopefully soon... but there Coffee is delicious!!!

    Do y'all have your liquor license yet?

    They don't. They used to serve alcohol but not sure why the recently told us they don't have a license. Maybe they served without the cities knowledge.

    Can we make reservations?

    No you have to wait outside in the heat or cold depending on the weather. And have to stay near the door if not you'll be skipped.

They pointed me in the direction but I didn't retain the info and wandered in the direction I thought. There were signs but not for Mission Inn Restaurant. I found it.

I just couldn't help looking around and then hearing stories about it about how there's new owners and the previous stole art, etc. The ambiance, your surroundings is better than the food.

As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.
