    Lightning milk with tiramisu cold foam
    Miguel G.

    Transported back in time with this retro-feel coffee shop! Stopped by just before closing (sorry!) but the two girls working behind the counter didn't mind and we're so sweet. I ordered the Tiramisu Cold Foam on top of their Lightning Milk. The cold foam has the most perfect texture with a sprinkle of cocoa powder that balances out the sweetness. The Lightning Milk (which is cold brew, vanilla syrup, and oat milk) is honestly one of the best cold brews I've had with such a smooth coffee flavor and just the right touch of vanilla sweetness. Coming back soon to try the rest of their seasonal drinks!

    I decided to stop in while the elite event was going on, even though I wasn't on the list, and I'm glad I did. I tried their "matcha on tap" with tiramisu cold foam, and it was absolutely delicious. The fact that they offer an "on tap" matcha at a discount is really nice and unique. Their simple menu is also refreshing--keeping things straightforward is a breath of fresh air. When we ordered, the gentleman who took our order was named Tanner. He was extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu and options. After picking up our drinks, we decided to sit and enjoy our matchas. There are multiple seating areas, including a sofa, a park bench, and tables with chairs, so you can come in and use your computer or socialize with friends and family. They also have a special posted: if you purchase any merchandise, you receive a free drink! Very unique as well.

    Raspberry Matcha

    I saw a friend post on Insta about this place, and I can't believe I slept on it for so long. This place was amazing! The staff was so nice, and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and friendly. I loved the focal art piece on the wall with the shop's catchphrase, "For Those I Love." That's exactly the feeling you get when you walk in--a warm hug from someone you love. There's plenty of seating to hang out for a while and a simple yet classic menu. They stick to the classics, but the vanilla latte with house-made syrup was anything but basic. It was the perfect combo of sweet, creamy, and great-tasting espresso. So good! I also bought some merch and got a free drink with it, so I went with the raspberry matcha. I'm no matcha connoisseur, but it was freaking delicious. The raspberry smash at the bottom with the perfectly creamy matcha on top was such a great combination. I don't like matcha when it's too earthy or bitter--I definitely prefer my drinks sweet and super creamy, for reference. Side note: the damn bagel sandwich! I'd go back just for that. From the fresh bagel to the spicy mayo, it was everything I needed to go alongside my coffee. Love this place.

    Woo hoo, a new coffee shop in the neighborhood. Came highly recommended so I had to try it out. I ordered a cold foam pistachio latte; fabulous delicious and affordable. Wonderful, helpful customer service and friendly which makes q huge difference these days. Brightly decorated and plenty of seating, clean and a cool vibe setting. I will be back to try their bagels! Update: Tried the breakfast bagels, yummmm! The sauces that came with them were both so delicious with a hint of fire! The bagels were so fresh! 4th visit this morning, did not realize the menu would change monthly. If it was a fan favorite, please keep it on the menu, please, please, please. I was offered the tiramisu cold foam which was very nice and subtle but I REALLY enjoyed the Pistachio cold foam wirmth their lightening milk. Hope it makes a comeback.

    I tried the matcha with whole milk unsweetened to really see how the matcha tasted at baseline. i would say it's comparable to much of the matcha I've tried around the IE. i imagine with some syrup, you could have a fun drink but for any matcha lovers out there, I'd say this is average or a little below for the IE area. i didn't try their coffee, which is what they're more known for. overall the staff were friendly and efficient. they had bathrooms available for customers. the shop itself is industrial style and can seat around 15-20 people. overall nice place, but I'd like to see better matcha. i hope to try the coffee next time I go!

    Mikey G's was right next door to where we were at. We were able to park our car right in front do the thrift store and walk over. You can also park across the street in front of the goodwill. Right when we stepped out, we were very excited about the art on the sides of the building. They had photos of mice that were cleaning! It was very silly but cute. Once we stepped inside, we didn't immediately order. There was an old television with a webcam attached to it, to which we took a photo with. The coffee barista was very sweet and patient with us as we admired the decor and took our time looking at the menu. I decide to get their latte with vanilla bean syrup, while my fiancé got their tonic with mint. The drinks came out fairly quickly. We noticed several tables to study at with an interesting transition towards the back of the store. There were numerous people studying/doing work when we got our coffee. The coffee is strong and decent. I would say there's nothing unique about their menu; you've got the bare necessities. If you just need a good cup of joe with a quirky design, this is the place to go. Not bad for being new!

    Cute idea to have a matcha flight. It's called "matcha girl summer"
    Adina H.

    Cute new matcha and coffee place in the thrift store district of Riverside. I got a flight that features the mango matcha freeze, fresh watermelon juice with matcha cold foam, tiramisu cold foam and pistachio latte. I thought the title "matcha girl summer" was a very cute concept. I think the interior could benefit with a bit more flair- especially the ubiquitous Instagrammable little photo ops with fake flowers and neon art. That would help me feel like I am not in some barren dormitory after all the students have already vacated for the semester.

    Solid new coffee spot in the Riverside plaza area. We stopped by for a quick cappuccino after breakfast. Everyone inside was pretty friendly and our drink was out in just a few minutes. There's a good amount of seating inside and it was pretty packed on a holiday. The space is clean and nicely decorated. We happened to get seating at a table where you can doodle on some paper! The drink itself was pretty good as well. Overall this is a solid spot for some coffee!

    Finally was able to try Mikey G's today at their second location! There is parking across the street to make it easy to walk over. I ordered an iced vanilla bean matcha with 1/2 sweetener and oatmilk. The matcha was pretty good and great price. It was a little more on the milky side but still good! Service was great, the girls taking and making my order were very sweet! There is seating and space inside but this location is smaller on the inside than their other location! Can't wait to come back for their next seasonal menu!

    Lightning Milk w/ Reese's Puffs Cold Foam
    Viet N.

    You know I have to pull up to a new coffee shop in Riverside. Finally stopped by this location (2nd? I think?) of Mikey G's this morning. Ended up having to park across the street at Goodwill because it was busy with the line out the door. Love the vibe and energy of the place. Yellow hues everywhere and spacious. I got the lightning milk with Reese's puffs cold foam and that cold foam seriously makes all the difference. It's literally like drinking the cereal and it's super delicious. They're card only, fine by me, but worth noting if you're tryna pay in cash. Definitely will come back to try some other stuff. I'm eyeing that lucky charms matcha.

    Banana Bread Houjicha
    Christiana B.

    Coffee? Dark roast, less sweet, pretty good. But the Hojicha is bangin'! They used a banana bread syrup and it was an amazing experience. While not on the standard menu, I asked for it and wasn't disappointed. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere retro and chill. Only marked down because we had ro do several u-turns just to figure out if they were open or not. A lit up "open sign" or a-line signs outside when they open would be a big help in bringing more attention to this business. I'll definitely be back.

    Merch available
    Jason C.

    Matcha was great tasting without having the tea flavor being too overbearing. Coffee was also very good, especially with a good variety including the seasonal drinks. Bagels are baked fresh and you can tell. Service workers are always very friendly every time we arrive.

    Menu 4/26
    Leilani M.

    New coffee shop in town! Wonderful, friendly and welcoming service. Luv how they revamped this location. Inside seating with waiting area bench and couch. Tap to pay. Traditional real coffee drinker menu, matchas and seasonal breakfast inspired drinks. Staff were very helpful customizing a drink for my liking they're awesome. It came out perfectly. The cortado was a smaller shot and will well poured latte art. Fresh bagels and cookies were available at the time we stopped in. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Limited street parking in front with goodwill parking lot right across the street. It's a smaller side street easily accessible. They close a little early so be sure to check their hours before heading over.

    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.

I originally wanted to try just the orange blossom syrup, but the baristas suggested that vanilla bean syrup be added to tone down the potency of the orange blossom syrup while complementing it at the same time. This was a great rec since it was an enjoyable combo that didn't lose flavor after all the ice was diluted. Chocolate Chip Cookie: 5/5. A satisfying cookie that tasted better than it looks. I say this cuz I didn't see chocolate chips or chunks breaking through the dough, and the dough color was pretty pale, but looks can be deceiving, as this was a yummy treat. S'mores Brownie: 4/5. Super sweet and chocolatey and fudgy. Kinda sticky and messy due to the marshmallow topping and high sugar content, but they provide utensils for easy eating. Parking in the attached lot was quite small and cramped, but apparently there was additional parking behind the plaza.

Their coffee, tea, and baked goods are fantastic, but the main reason I love this place is because it's very cozy and the perfect place to read, study, catch up with a friend, or go on a date. They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.
