Been here a few times and the food is always delicious and the drinks are great. Everything is made quickly and the vibe is so chill.

This is the best coffee shop within all of these surrounding cities by far. It has a drive thru (MOM WIN!). They make their food here. It's not that gross processed crap you get from other coffee shops. Great variety of drinks (coffee, tea, boba, energy drinks, etc.). The best part is the customer service!!!! Everyone is always so nice and the customer service is just amazing!!! read more

Rival Coffee - Rival drive thru - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

Great coffee flavors and unique flavor combinations. The filled donuts are always a treat. Coffee is done well but there are two reasons I took off two stars: the price is WAY too expensive for a cup of coffee. And the staff is really young and uninterested in giving any kind of customer service - it always seems like it's a bother for them to take your order, they really don't care. Yet their Instagram posts make them seem fun and personable - they are too young to care about others and have a lot to learn about service basics. read more

It was fine that they're really overpriced but I liked the breakfast burritos and the convenience of a drive thru. Went today and was told you can't order burritos or bowls at the drive thru because they have a restaurant now...... 1. Don't have it on the menu if you aren't going to sell it (was told it was discontinued a day ago which doesn't matter, the decision was clearly made before that so fix your menu before you put it into effect) 2. You might as well not serve any food and do drinks only at the drive thru as it makes no sense to have a partial menu (one for quick service and one for a "restaurant " all within the same building) 3. The drinks are not worth $8. Pricing is terrible and it's not that great tasting to be charging that high. No longer going to pay that much for bean water. I'm sure they'll lose a lot more customers over this so we'll just have to wait until the restaurant fails to have them fix this. Until then, I'm not going back to sit in a restaurant or go out of my way for take out when the food was already just okay. It was drive thru okay. read more

Pretty cool place. Anytime I'm on that side of town, I try and find my way in there. Brown sugar latte is my go-to!

Went here again today with my husband and daughter for brunch! This place never fails to deliver amazing service and food. The breakfast pasta was outstanding! I highly recommend it! Great food, great atmosphere, great coffee! read more

Pretty good food and coffee but they ran out of the staple item (donuts) very quickly which was whole reason we stopped by :/ otherwise great modern place to go to for coffee and food. read more

Why does it state in yelp that they offer vegan options ? But when I went thru drive thru and asked if they had any vegan options they told me NO. I'm sorry this place really needs to work on customer service skills. read more

Rival started as a breath of fresh air. And largely it still is. They have gone through a bunch of changes, an expansion to temecula, a reduction. A refocus. It has been bumpy. But through it, good food and coffee. However, I recently noticed they brought back their breakfast burrito (yay!) so I ordered it again after months of going elsewhere. Their burritos, have always been good. But I have to say, after years or patronage, they lack consistency. From one order to the next, the quality would change. The size would change. The burrito I got today was the size of a medium Yukon potato. It was pitiful. While it was delicious!, with crema properly present throughout, it was definitely NOT worth the cost. Should have been at least 60% larger. The rest of their offerings are very good. But the burrito is where they get or lose my business. Now that they have refocused in the murrieta location, I hope they can enact some quality control. read more

Friendly service! Good drinks and food options. Music is loud, so it's not a great meeting place for conversations unless you are sitting outside. Spacious. read more

As soon as my son and I entered, we were greeted. We were given a menu. The party in front of us was taking a bit long to order, so we were told we could order on the side. Unfortunately they did not have the loaded fries. (My son wanted to try them, so we'll be back) I ordered a hot vanilla lavender latte. I enjoyed being able to taste the vanilla and lavender. read more

Interior is very open and modern, there's many different areas to sit and enjoy. Overall, the service was on point! They were busy but despite that the cashier was super friendly and helped us figure out what to get. She suggested my husband a drink (he's not a coffee drinker) and told us if he didn't like it she would make him a new drink for free, he loved it though! We got a sandwich, avo toast & an egg bowl. The food was all hot and very fresh, the scramble bowl had quite a few too many onions but other then that everything else was on point. My pumpkin spice latte was also super tasty! Definitely a place to try! read more

Love their mocha ice blended and everyone are so nice and sweet!! Best part is their happy hour

Have heard through several former and current employees about how poor the management is and their blatant disregard for labor laws and respecting the staff. Also, the coffee sucks read more

I enjoyed going to this place for breakfast. They have an excellent selection of cream filled donuts that are made in-house. The front staff are pleasant to talk to. The menu items and coffee are also delicious. However, I had a recent experience that has turned me off from this place completely. I think there is a misunderstanding in the kitchen when an order is sent over. On two separate occasions I've ordered a Breakfast Burrito with Bacon & Sausage but have only received one of the meats in my burrito instead of both. I've noticed that its the meat marked on the receipt as "Extra ____". On a third separate occasion my burrito was actually mostly just eggs with almost no sausage, and it was also a lot smaller than usual that the tortilla double wrapped itself. This order on the receipt had "Extra Sausage". Perhaps the chef was having a bad morning and thought "Extra Sausage? Nah, you'll get no sausage". Its a bummer paying extra for something, let alone receiving almost nothing. read more

The staff is quick and efficient. Always friendly and welcoming. Their made in house donuts are delicious but my ultimate weakness is their Rival breakfast sandwich. It's excellent. Tons to choose from on the menu without it being overwhelming. I personally recommend the cookie batter coffee or the seasonal beverages. Everything is delicious so you really can't go wrong. They also have a spacious indoor area as well as an outdoor patio which I love. read more

Really good lattes, nice indoor and outdoor ambiance and they serve food! Staff is nice and helpful. The only suggestion is that the tables and chairs are cleaned after people leave. The tables and chairs had crumbs all over the place inside. This happens every time I go there. If the place is not clean, what does it say about the food and drinks you are serving? Just a thought. read more

Vanilla bean shaken cold brew was good the Rival sandwich was okay service was good if I was ever in the area again I would return not bad for $15 bucks read more

All of the lattes I've tried have been so good! Also a huge fan of their island loco moco! So yummy. Donuts are also great. Friendly workers, too! read more

I think the food and service was good. I got the avocado toast and cappuccino and both were really good. The bread was good and the avocado and tomatoes were very fresh and the whole entree was seasoned well. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and she said it was super good too. The only thing I wish they'd change is giving the coffee in a coffee mug when you're dining in like other fancier coffee places do. read more

I absolutely LOVE their vanilla bean ice latte, it's delightful. I highly recommend this cute spot, they have delicious donuts, not overly sweet, they're perfect. I am looking forward to trying more . read more

True to its name, Rival Coffee is now taking on the giant coffee shop next door, with a higher-end ambience, coupled by their upcoming Bar, possibly with restaurant - a very unique concept I have never seen before! Best SANDWICH is the STEAK SANDWICH and TUNA MELT you gotta try! Order at the counter, staff will ask whether you want to add avocado in your s'wich sliced or mashed. You then find your seat, wait for counter staff to call your name indicating your order's ready to pick up. DRIVE-THRU is also available when you're in a hurry, or outdoor patio if you enjoy al-fresca dining. Average ticket per person is $17 to $20, gratuity included. We'll definitely be back for the steak and tuna melt sandwiches, try other items available next time. read more

The rival breakfast sammy is incredible, the poblano egg sammy is also great! The burritos are ok but could use more going on, like their other items. We've ordered their beautiful donuts soo many times but they ALL taste the SAME! They taste great just all the same creamy filling no different flavors. Just misleading since they look and are labeled as such. Just a heads up when if you decide to get every flavor like we've done too many times. But overall a quick great breaki spot w a drive through!! read more

Great stop on a road trip for us, but Would be a great place to study or work. good coffee and food. read more

This spot is a gem!!! Cool modern vibe. They serve AMAZING food. I've been here twice now and have tried the following dishes: BLT, the favorite flatbread, carnitas avo stack, hot white mocha, iced vanilla bean latte. The avo stack was by far the best thing that I've eaten in I-don't-even-know-how-long. I was blown away. I left craving it again, wondering when I could come back. I like that they put designs in their latte foam--a sign of an experienced barista. Also, the staff is super cool, polite, friendly, fast, accurate--all the things you want in staff. The place is super clean, even the outdoor seating. Someone would come every once and a while and clean all the outside tables and chairs even if no one has been in them. The prices are fair. Cost $20 for a meal with a latte and tip. They have a drive thru which is nice. Now for the cons. I had to take away a star cuz of a few small things, which they can easily fix. First, they dont have any high chairs so I was having to chase 2 toddlers around (granted I understand they're not catering to families). Also, there's no changing table in the bathrooms so that really sucked (it was too cold to change the little guy outside in the back of the SUV so he ended up soaking thru his diaper by the time we got home). Also, they should have a menu displayed at the counter instead of just on paper. And lastly, one of the times I was there it was at night and their festoon lights were off. Not a huge deal at all but it would've been nice to have that out there. read more

My expectations lately have been fairly low with new places, but this place blew me away. First impression was the girl who took our order behind the counter. The level of professionalism, friendliness and helpfulness from her was amazing. The lattes were awesome (the barista also very friendly) and the food was killer. I was super impressed by the staff, food and drinks. And if the owners read this, the young woman (blonde) who worked Sunday morning was extremely impressive. read more

wOw!!! It was nice not to drive to San Diego for breakfast. To start the inside is clean with an open modern style and spacious lay out. Take a look at their menu! The menu has enough variety to ensure we'll be back for breakfast and brunch. So many varieties of coffee along with the traditional selection ie drip, Americana and espresso. With that said, the menu changes at 2pm. I don't know what's on it, but if it's to their standard of breakfast, the lunch menu has me wanting to go back to try them out for lunch. *They have a drive thru read more

I love the variety this place has to offer! Yummy coffee, breakfast burrito and the daily choices of flavors of their donuts. This place has a drive thru which is always a plus when on the go. read more

as a first timer, it was not welcoming. i even let the girl know who was at the register that i was a first timer and had questions, she didn't seem to care and more like i was a bother. i mentioned i liked more of a sweet coffee, my coffee was not sweet. i couldn't even finish drinking it. i ended up throwing it away and going to starbucks even though i was hoping to stay away from big cooperation coffee shops and support local. food was ehh. overall disappointed and will not be back. read more

Why?!? It pains me to have to rate it so low. I heard about this place and was very optimistic to try it. Customer service here is not great. The workers didn't greet us upon entering and the person taking our order was rude from the jump. I understand some people have bad days but it just rubbed me the wrong way. I ordered a 24oz brown sugar maple coffee drink with oat milk. It was just bland. All it tasted like to me was plain black coffee mixed with a little bit of milk? Where is the brown sugar? I didn't feel comfortable bringing it back up to have them remake it because they all had attitudes. Their breakfast sandwich with the egg and arugula was soooo plain. I dont know how because there was so much going on but to me it tasted like butter and eggs. The donuts here are super sweet and custard filled. It was just ok. The French fries were crunchy and my son enjoyed them. The orange juice was ok. I'm just not sure I understand the hype? I'm disappointed. Maybe I'll give it another try soon... read more

I ordered cappuccino with oat milk. Oat milk ran me an extra dollar. It was very surprising how expensive milk substitution is. Very often even the Bay area coffee shops charge only $0.50 to $0.70 extra. My cappuccino was just okay. Oat milk was foamed very heavily, with approximately 1/3 of the drink being foam. It tasted a bit sour for whatever reason. Not sure what brand they're using, but I've had better ones. The overall atmosphere is quite good. They are open inside during the pandemic, the outdoor area is also available. Overall, I might give a shot having another, different drink there, but it certainly would not be my first choice. read more

Today our family tried Rival for the first time. Soon entering were greeted by great music and a modern look. Super clean! Which totally counts, so many places don't keep a clean fresh food establishment. Jumped on the vanilla bean hot and the honey vanilla hot. Both delicious and served with foam "flare!" We all order the rival sand which. Which is very surpasses EGGSLUT if you've ever had that. My kids thought the bacon was too spicy, so will def order them something different next time. My kids loved the vibe and danced their hearts out. Two thumbs up from our family Rival. read more

It's always nice to see underdog contenders step in to the ring to take on the heavyweight champs. Am I right? And even better when they can legitimately go toe-to-toe... left, right, uppercut... WHAM! Rival Coffee has all the power, speed, and agility to stand in the ring with the big boys and come out without a scratch. They offer a wide range of coffee drinks and food. I'm a mocha guy and theirs is solid. But it's their food choices that give them a chance to land that devastating right hook! A nice array of pastries and an even nicer array of sandwiches and salads. Go here! read more

The rival breakfast sandwich is fantastic. I recommend trying it if you eat here. The service at the Murrieta location, however, is horrible. From management down, don't expect an inviting atmosphere from employees. Drive thru lines if you come at a time they're busy, will take forever. Good food and drinks, but they need an overhaul in management and need to bring in new customer focused management to train their employees to provide great customer service. read more

Was very good, a bit crowded but very good and great service. I would definitely come here again

The fries are always an issue. I am here quite a bit and usually order a blender mocha and once in a while small fry. The fries are always either overcooked or super soft. Most of the time they taste and look like they have been re-fried 20 times. I have seen some kids send them back to the kitchen and receive the same again! I recently did a DoorDash order and didn't receive my sauce that i was charged for! Love the employees and vibe but the food could definitely be better for the price. read more

Excellent food and drinks and energetic friendly staff! Bailey H. took my order and she instantly made me smile with her energy. I got the shaken crème brûlée cold brew and the most yummy sausage burrito. It came with salsa and was packed with flavor! It was a pocket or small size and was perfect size! The cold foam in the coffee was delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

What a hidden treasure and serendipitous find! I'm staying at the neighboring Holiday Inn Express and this is the only eatery/ cafe within a nice walking distance. In between Zoom meetings, I got to try their iced Rose Cardamom latte with oat milk, which was just the right amount of sweetness and had a lovely floral taste to it. I also ate their Stacked Avo - Carnitas, which was half an avocado with a fried egg, chipotle crema, cilantro and cheese sauce, and... HALLELOO. It was so good. A nice, filling, savory, low-carb meal (or snack, depending on your hunger). On top of the great food and great coffee, the staff is also amiable and extremely helpful. I'm sad that there isn't a Rival Coffee near where I live. Please expand! read more

My brother and I wanted to get coffee after our gym sesh and stopped by Rival coffee. It was my first time here and the ambiance was really nice. They kept it nice and clean. There were a lot of places to sit for people to either come and have lunch or even just to come and study or hang out. Plenty of outlets to plug in your laptops or phones. They offer a great selection of both coffee and food on their menu which I really liked. They also have different milk alternatives which is a plus for me since I usually like to get almond or coconut milk. Ava was the barista who helped us at the register. She was nice and was able to answer any questions that came up. I got a lavender and vanilla latte with almond milk which tasted wonderful! And they didn't seem too busy so our drinks came out with in 3-5 min. They offered us free stickers at the register which I think is a great way to promote their business. Over all I had a great experience and would definitely go back and would love to try out the food they have to offer. read more
