    Worst matcha place ever. Please don't go for a matcha, the milk was spoiled, we asked for oat milk and was regular milk and both drinks were so bad, a bunch of syrup very sweet cero matcha.

    Horchata latte

    I stopped by Molinos because i went to the antique store attached to it. I never knew that's where molinos was located but since i was there i decided to stop by. It was much bigger than i expected , lots of spacious seating, open windows allowing lots of light in, overall a really nice place. The staff was super friendly and helpful which i appreciated. I ordered the horchata latte and it was pretty good. I will say it reminded me more of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a good way. It was pretty sweet though. Overall i was pleasantly surprised and will be back.

    This is a really nice coffee shop. It's aesthetically pleasing and it has a cool consignment and gallery store downstairs. I'd never seen that in a coffee shop, pretty cool. The service is good, the barista was kind and attentive. The drinks are very yummy. The hot chocolate, the chai, the matcha, the latte were all soo good. It's worth it.

    Great local spot. Wonderfully attentive staff works here. My latte was delicious. This place is right across from the famous Mission Inn. They have few muffins and bagels if you're hungry.

    cheers

    The space is generally quiet, minus the blending and grinding of coffee. The staff was helpful in answering questions about some allergens I had concerns about. We got our drinks quickly and off we went to thrift!!

    Ordered an açaí bowl here around 10am on a Sunday morning it's delicious just like the one at the Redlands location. Their açaí is underrated. The consistency is like ice cream and with a scoop of peanut butter it's under $8 at a decent portion as well. Some seats are available but it can get packed quick. The ambiance is a minimal and I want to give it the word "rustic." Don't know how their coffee is, but the açaí is worth it here. Açaí bowl: 4.5/5

    Acai bowl and horchata latte
    Serena D.

    Açaí bowl tastes premade which is fine bc they're a coffee shop lol still good and decently priced if you have a sweet tooth (on top of the coffee). My friend made me sporadically crave the horchata latte. I'm not a coffee drinker so this can last me 2 days and I just like to sip on it. Only coffee shop I continue to come back to.

    Caramel macchiato and breakfast sandwich
    David M.

    Honestly for $34. I'd expect more for two drinks and a semi burned breakfast sandwich. Way too over priced for the quality. Service was ok. What saved it from a 1 star is the drink was solid.

    Was in the area and needed a pick me up Found this little spot in downtown Staff were great ! Very clean. Quite as well . Great place for studying and maybe a little coffee date. So many options to choose from. I asked the baristas what was her fave drink. She told me it's the lavender with honey. Y'all it did not disappoint!! My brother got the Havana it was a bit sweet for his liking but I liked it. Also order just a regular coffee. They do have baked goods and little knickknacks to buy from. Definitely coming back.

    Lovely view of the mission inn

    Gorgeous cafe with some delicious coffee! I got an horchata latte with cherry cold foam which was absolutely amazing. My bestie got an apple cider with cherry cold foam and syrup!! Drinks took about 10 minutes to come out to us which didn't bother either of us as we like knowing some thought is being put into them, and we also were kind of just meandering around Riverside for the day so there was no rush for us. Server was incredibly kind and explained the promos and specials they had for the fall season.10/10!!!

    Well I don't have a picture of my coffee - ooops but it was delicious Chai with espresso - really nice chai blend I did want to mention here that this little coffee shop comes with a gem - adjacent walkway to little treasures galleria - thrift store/antique shop You def will enjoy your coffee looking around Service at Molinos was great although it was just 1 barrista she was on it - and extra nice

    Blueberry Muffin and Seasonal Drink: Mi Corazon
    Jeremy S.

    Cool little coffee spot right across the street from the Mission Inn. Swung by on a busy Saturday morning, but still got our food and drinks very quickly and was kindly walked through their different coffee options and specials by the staff. Their blueberry muffin was amazing! Great flavor, freshness, and texture. Their coffee was simple but pretty good. Overall had a great time here and their service in particular was a highlight. You also can't beat the views of the mission inn from here!

It has a hot pink sign and has interior and exterior seating options. You can park in parking structures or side streets in order to walk towards this location. On a hot summer day, they were blasting the AC which was super appreciated! We came in to cool off and enjoy a beer, after reading their signs! Of course, we opted for a glazed donut, too. The guy at the front was nice and friendly! Super chill. We took out items and sat towards the side, under their large TV. He switched on the TV and ended up playing the World Cup game!! I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)

I came in at sort of an odd hour for lunch so the place was pretty chill and not too busy. Service style is fast casual where you order at the counter and find a seat. The place has a feel of having been there for a long time with large wood booths or separators. I ordered the grilled pastrami and Swiss sandwich and got it with their potato salad. The pastrami was griddled and has an old school flavor and style with some nice crunch from the sourdough. A great sandwich overall! Parking in the neighborhood wasn't too hard to find along the street and even if you need to park a block or two away, the neighborhood is nice to walk through.
