Love love love this spot. It's a hidden gem in riverside. Must visit the hidden market in the back of this place. There is a parking structure just around the corner that didn't seem to charge which was great but full day price is $8. Or you have the street parking. Wifi isn't the best and it's super slow or doesn't work sometimes. Ask the barista for a reset if it doesn't work for you even with the password. read more

Molinos Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Had a breakfast sandwich here today as did a friend and it was served lukewarm with cold cheese and was just poorly made. The sugar free carmel latte was good. read more

Love this place! The coffee is delicious and it's such a cozy place to catch up with friends or get work done. Finding a table can be difficult sometimes, but it's great if you can (especially around 4PM in December and you can see the Mission Inn switch on for the Festival of Lights!) read more

Bad service Old food Ugly environment Coffee is disgusting People working are not friendly. Definitely not a good place to enjoy a coffee. They should remodel and make it more comfortable and offer better food and coffee read more

I teach not to far I wanted to stop in it looks like a fun coffee place it's not outside it states they have sandwiches and they only have a breakfast sandwich and when I walked in they were like do you need help I said no not yet they it felt like I was being rushed do you need help I said no not yet next question was cash or card I haven't even ordered yet jez I got a small tea and walked out one of my students went in and they were the same way do hate people in scrubs or something. read more

Nice cafe for good quality coffee! Was a little hard to find since the entrance is through the Hideaway Cafe hallway. The ambiance and seating were nice. Leads/connects to the Mission Galleria Antique Shoppe so another nice place to walk around after getting your coffee. The baristas were sweet and accommodating. The coffee was strong as it wasn't watered down and wasn't overly sweet as well. Slightly pricey (paid around $7 medium with oat milk) but the quality made up for it. Will be going back! read more

Cute little downtown coffee spot. We came pretty early in the morning so it wasn't too busy. Many of the chairs were not ready for us to sit in yet. For how little people where in there, it took a while for us to get just a drip and London fog. Maybe the staff was having a weird morning. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. read more

Mediocre is what comes to mind tbh.. I came here with my parents while we were walking around downtown and I needed a pick me up. There wasn't much of a line when we arrive thankfully. More so people just hanging out and doing work. We placed our order and the turn around time was quick. We order Regular coffee - nothing special Double espresso shot - tasted burnt Hot chocolate -no flavor and boring It did the job and woke us up but honestly nothing special. We should've went to coffee bean down the way read more

This is another hipster, catfish, booty cheek coffee place ain't gonna lie. If you looking for some real coffee in a fancy pour over that is going to taste like coffee straight from the plantation that a toddler just picked! It is Best to go look elsewhere because it ain't happening here! However, if you looking for booty water in sugar and need a nice place to study I guess you can come here. I think they got a printer so that's a plus. Idk man I'm just wondering who molino, but if you reading this it's too late ! Anyways, idk what I am saying I am lit dank review will be 5.3/10. read more

LOVE this place! It's right in downtown Redlands so it's perfect for a hangout with friends, or even a first date. They have so many flavor options and are always super nice. read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place before a work meeting and loved it. I ordered a latte was delicious!

This is a cute little coffee shop across the street from The Mission Inn. Only downside is it's pay parking outside curbside. The service was friendly. The affogato to die for. They use thrifty ice cream as well over two shots of expresso. The guava cheese pastry was good. read more

I teetered between 3 and 4 stars here... I love the drinks at this shop. My 4 stars is based off the fact that I've never had a disappointing drink here EVER and because 9/10 times customer service is great too. However, I cringe that it's $1.00 extra for oat milk! I think some of the other alternatives are 80¢ maybe? I'll get into a couple other downsides below, but ultimately they're things out of their control so I stick with the 4 stars. I DO wish they had a bigger lobby, but they do the best they can with the room they have. Just know there's a chance there won't be a spot to sit and relax inside. They do also have a patio, and they're directly across from the entrance to the historical Mission Inn, so it's nice to sit and enjoy the sites and hear the church bells ring every hour BUT, I do have to say.... while sitting out there for a hour and a half with a girlfriend this morning, more vagrants passed by than regular pedestrians. Most mind their business but some ask for money... it's unfortunate because it's not within their control, and I do know downtown has its share of mentally ill vagrants as well so it's just best to be alert while you enjoy your coffee. I recommend their PB mocha (hot) or their iced dirty chai. read more

I'd just finished running the Lexus LaceUp Riverside Reindeer Run and was in MAJOR need of a good cup of tea. I headed to Yelp, and came across Molino's -- just over a mile from where the run was taking place at Fairmount Park. There isn't a whole lot of parking (that I saw), but we were able to get a spot about a block away. Ample seating, with tables for two or four. We'd planned to have only tea, but I noticed they had açaí bowls, too. What a great post-run reward one would be! I ordered one, and my other half had a breakfast sandwich on a bagel. The açaí bowl was a great size -- I think I spent about 20 minutes eating it! (Note: you can add coconut flakes for 65 cents) My other half said the breakfast sandwich was just 'OK.' He had it with ham instead of bacon.. and it LOOKED to me like the ham was cold (although I'm sure it wasn't). With the tea -- I ordered English Breakfast, but I think we got two Earl Grey's instead... the Earl Grey they use there, I think, has a 'creme' flavor to it, so it's not as strong or potent as a regular Earl Grey. (I wish I'd known that.. or rather, I wish I'd gotten the correct tea. I'm kind of particular about certain flavors being added to tea.) Nevertheless, super cute place in downtown Riverside. I'd definitely pop in again if I was in the area. 2019: 51/100 read more

nice little woman owned coffee spot. good espresso-based drinks. my usual is the oat milk vanilla lavender latte (iced). ambiance can be good depending on what time of day you go (it can get too loud). service is good most times but might be less than perfect when in a rush or after. have been here a few times though and would recommend. only things i don't like are the little seating and the state of the restroom. overall, it's a good place to grab a drink and go walking around the antique shops. although it is close to colleges, i wouldn't say it's a good study spot, but they do offer wireless printing ! new fav: dirty spiced chai latte iced !!! with oat milk of course. so creamy and the spices are spot on. i get the large with two shots of espresso and it is the perfect balance of sweet to spices and coffee. read more

More Molinos, please! We stopped by Molinos for a quick co-working sesh early in the day. This coffee shop was booming with a constant line of patrons waiting to order beverages, pastries, and a limited number of breakfast items. Molinos was designed to get shit done. There's comfortable seating (and a lot of it!) plus a ton of electrical outlets scattered throughout the cafe. It's the perfect spot for collaborating. We chose a seat by the window and I wouldn't have it any other way! Environment is everything when you're trying to be productive, and Molinos offers natural lighting, a full view of Downtown Riverside, and a delicious aroma of freshly brewed coffee. I decided to order off their seasonal menu, and picked the Frozen Pumpkin Pie with whip cream. This iced coffee was the perfect Fall addition, not too sweet + full of caffeine. They also serve classic coffees, cold brews, teas, juices, and smoothies. Molinos is attached to several other IE staples, like the Hideaway Cafe and Mission Galleria - three stories of antiques! So grab a beverage and get to exploring! read more

Molinos Coffee - Double shot expresso and a shot of cuban coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Super delicious coffee shop in downtown riverside. Ordered the peanut butter mocha iced coffee blended with oat milk (baristas recommendation). I loved this drink the peanut butter flavor was very present but not overpowering. I ordered a seasonal drink that had cookie butter. Not sure if it's cookie butter in general but felt like the drink lacked flavor. Overall would come back to try other drinks! read more

Cute coffee shop with simple, inviting decorations and a comfortable environment. The drip coffee was smooth and strong, which was tasty. We were greeted when we came in and thanked when we came out. One member of our party didn't get the coffee they ordered but the mixup coffee (peanut butter mocha over ice) was delicious. The coffee shop is also connected to an antique store making a fun, unique addition. read more

Located in downtown Riverside. The interior is interesting and on the outside, there are a couple tables as well. The coffee took a while to make and they didn't call out when done so we waited for a bit. Coffee was solid, but not the best ever, but definitely still worth trying. read more

Great little Cuban coffee spot. Located within walking distance of the historic Mission Inn. Within a block of several worthwhile lunch and dinner spots and three museums. If you like antiques, there's one right around the corner. I have not been here since the Festival of Lights, but it was a welcomed surprise to see the menu add a few items. Some of the memorable items for me would be the Havana Coconut Latte and the Afogado from this trip. read more

Love Molinos in downtown Redlands! We have had various coffee drinks and teas that have been amazing! The staff is friendly and everything is always clean and inviting here! read more

Did a little day outing to the beautiful Mission Inn. Wanted a hot latte in this rainy weather. I ordered a sugar free hazelnut latte with oat milk. Some places are hit and miss both with their espresso and their flavors. Molinos did not disappoint! The sugar free flavor was very nutty and the espresso was strong and flavorful. My mom tried something very new to her: peanut butter mocha. It's like a Reese's peanut butter cup in a coffee!!!! Very strange but tasted very good I will come back here next time I'm in town read more

Did someone say Cubano? MOLINO's is an espresso coffee shop serving Cuban specialty drinks since 2013. One must order a Cubano. It's an espresso made with raw sugar. I prefer a ceramic cup. We ordered the Avocado Toast. The barista did it up with red chile flakes and hot sauce on the side. It was delicious, flavorful, and tasty. Between Tobasco and Tapatio, the dashes of Tapatio hit it home. The barista served the Cubano in a paper cup. And oh my gosh, this strong, black coffee was good. The baristas were friendly, pleasant, and sociable. It was busy, yet, our barista took the time to smile and chop it up with us. It's inside an old building with unique decorative facades. The atmosphere was chill, with large tables for studying and working. The smaller tables are cute and present invitations to meaningful conversations. If you're in a rush, this place is not for you. A visit here is an opportunity to sit and enjoy a wonderful experience. I cannot wait to return for another coffee. read more

Got a hot toffee latte and my friend got an apple cider. We both loved our drinks to the point that we almost got another. I backed out since the coffee was strong enough the first time around haha. Friendly service as well. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Thanks! read more

I got a caramel iced coffee with almond milk. I went early before work around 7:20am there was plenty of parking right out front and service was fast! My coffee was so good! A little more pricey than Starbucks but tastes way better and feels even better when you support local businesses! I noticed they also have a printer that their customers can use which I thought was really great for students! read more

Molinos Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

It's not the first time that I experienced a long wait as early as seven in the morning, but waiting 20 minutes for a coffee? With one person running the café they definitely need to have at least two people on deck. I understand things get busy, but like I said this is not the first time the coffee shop has been busy as early as opening morning. My coffee also tasted more bitter than sweet as it felt like it was rushed just to be made. read more

Great coffee, good service and vibes. I got the pumpkin creme cold brew, large. My only critique would be ratio of creme to coffee. It was a but too much creme for me but that's a personal preference, they will make it with less creme if you request. Very flavorful, a nice amount of cinnamon. read more

I brought my mom here for a little coffee date and she really liked it. This is saying something because she's kind of picky

Just got my coffee right now the girl in the cashier was super nice she was new and needed help from the other girl that was there but she was on her phone the entire time. She made out drinks wrong I couldn't tell her that she got it wrong because she was talking on her cell phone laughing it up so I ended up throwing my coffee away I wasn't going to be waiting forever for her to be done with her conversation. The girl should be getting off of her phone and start working. The only good thing was that blueberry muffin that I got. The place its self was super cute and a vibe. read more

This place is great if you want to chill they even have a patio ! There is a beautiful chandelier and brick wall , very aesthetic. Now that it is covid , remember that they close at 3:00 , I came 5 mins to closing time , and 5 people walked in behind me . The employees still took all our orders , despite being busy with closing up . This is my favorite local coffee shop read more

Molinos Coffee - Iced Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

The best part about this place is the big window that allows natural light into the room and allows views of the Mission Inn Hotel. Followed by the service, but the food and lattes are just average, nothing to brag about. One thing that bothered me a lot, was the bathroom. It is worse or close to that of a run down gas station. They should honestly invest in an upgrade. It is gross and old. I do not think that it has had any change since the original building. There were flies buzzing around and did not allow us to eat comfortably, and it was too hot and plain boring in their patio as they do not have any plants or sun umbrellas to make it feel inviting. Honestly there is a better coffee shop just a few blocks down. Most likely we would not go back here even if we stay at the Mission Inn. read more
