    It was my first time visiting Rival Coffee, and upon first glance, I was really excited about the spacious seating and big parking lot. We parked our car right in front, and walked into the coffee shop without seeing a line of customers. We saw the menu and there wasn't a top list of drinks. It was lattes with a list of syrups and dark coffee. They truly have a list of syrups for you to add to your latte. I was a bit caught off guard by that. They also had food, but we didn't look at that menu at all. We ordered a Hannah banana latte and a vanilla hazelnut latte. Both drinks were very milky. There was definitely coffee, because I was very caffeinated half way through my small size. The syrup you choose is definitely an after thought in every sip. Yes. There is spacious seating for anyone who wants to hangout or study. Beware to those coming here to work or study; it's so loud in here, I can't hear the person next to me. They are blasting country and soul music. It caused the groups hanging out to speak very loudly, and I just couldn't do work at all. On a positive note, they have free, strong WiFi. I don't think I'll be back. The coffee wasn't memorable and the space isn't suited for studying. I'd rather go to a quieter space with good brews.

    The food and coffee are reasonably priced. Service is quick and friendly. They even have an in-house coffee grinder. Coffee is smooth. They have a good variety of options for breakfast or brunch. Very spacious inside with WiFi access. I saw many patrons using the areas for computer access. They also have outside seating with umbrella shades. I am curious to try something new in the future. They also have a drive-thru.

    The employees are always nice. Aside from that, I'm always disappointed with my order. If I order online and come in to pick it up, I will be waiting forever and it's up sitting somewhere, making me late for work and the food cold. The last time I went, I came through the drive-through and I ordered an iced coffee. They gave it to me hot and not even close to being a full cup of coffee. Which sounds like first world problems. But at the price of the drinks and food, you would expect it to at least be correct and what I wanted. My burrito was mostly egg with a few pieces of meat. I've come back several times, as it's very convenient location, but I'm always disappointed.

    A nice place with a great staff. Happy and really seem to enjoy what they do. Beverages were tasty.

    CHILL COFFEE & STUDY ZONE! I spent two hours chilling on a table at Rival's outdoor patio. They had an amazing playlist and quiet atmosphere. I was able to read a manuscript while I was there without interruption. Rival's patio is shaded and has plenty of seating. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of oat milk to taste test the brew, I can confirm it was amazing coffee! I definitely want to dedicate more time coming to Rival, it's worth the buzz! I stepped inside and the coffee shop had a cool aesthetic with large coffee bags lining the shop and great use of natural lighting. The barista at the counter was decent, he was a little somber. However, the service was super FAST and efficient. I was so happy I got my coffee in less than 5 mins! I also want to visit for poetry night, my Mom and I haven't been able to make it but I drove by one night and it was hoping! Lots of folks came by for an evening of caffeinated joy and spoken word.

    I think I walked into a coffee lover's heaven . This place has that fresh ground coffee smell but next level aroma . Stopped by while visiting my sister and it was worth the drive . The coffee was a build your own coffee with a lot to choose from I settled on a cookie butter cold brew . The cashier was super helpful since it was my first time and my drink came out fast . It was 7.00 for a 16oz which is pretty good for a cold brew with cold foam and specialty flavor . The coffee was well balanced and not too sweet . Give this place a try you won't regret it . Supporting local coffee places on sip at a time

    The coffee was delicious! The staff was kind and we talked their roasting process. The atmosphere was clean and large. Many seats and tables so that you don't feel like you're sitting on top of someone else. Love that they have free stickers for people that get a coffee! My only hesitation is the music is all different kinds. So if you watch what your kids listen to, think about what may be played.

    The first few times I came here, the service and food were terrible and made me stop coming for a while. But recently came back in with my mom and there were definitely some improvements. An employee stopped mid task to help us out and he was extremely kind and helpful. I also really liked how our drinks and food came out at the same time. Shoutout to whoever was on aux because their music taste is impeccable! Overall, a really nice experience this time around. I hope that they can keep this up and not lose current and future customers.

    The drink 100/10 Customer Service could use a little work seemed a little dead and not welcoming seemed rude upon handing drinks Ambiance 10/10

    The beverages are really good and the overall vibe is a mellow spot with a smooth groove Industrial decor with indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service friendly! Clean and organized! Reasonable prices! The perfect spot to relax while being serviced by a EV Charger Kailey is the best! Very helpful and kind.

    Rival Coffee is located right beside Holiday Inn Express behind the Murrieta Mesa High School Ram Stadium. Rival has great coffee and tea options. Service was helpful and friendly. The place is huge!! Upon walking in, you'll notice that there are a lot of students on their laptops studying. Several outlets to plug your devices in. You will also notice sacks of coffee beans: Odyssey Pacamara from El Salvador Tracon from Ethiopia La Cumbre from Costa Rica Arabica Green Coffee from Honduras Service is fast and friendly. Drinks are delicious. Once you taste the coffee, you'll notice that they use high quality coffee beans!! Some of them will give you the caffeine kick you'll need to pull an all-nighter to study for that final!! Great place for coffee/tea. Check em out if you're in the area!!

    RIVAL NEVER LEAVES ME WITH REGRETS. I always go back and forth if I will use mobile order via the app or drive thru, but I always find myself in drive thru lol. Service is always quick and the servers are super nice. They always have a smile and you always leave with a smile. I never have been inside. Every item I have ordered was always fresh. Even though I get the half sizes, they do not skip on the portions. One day, I will make it inside to order but having kiddos the drive-thru makes everything easier for mom life.

    Delicious donuts and coffee! Friendly service at the cashiers and the lemon blueberry donut was to die for. I loved the open texture of the donuts, which makes them very light and airy. Coffee,according to my friend, was excellent. Very casual coffee house seating. There's a drive thru as well.

I walked in and then like 6 people walked in after me lol so this is the spot! Even the most ordinary donuts taste exceptional at this place! Shout out again to Catherine that works there she's incredible and handles not only how hot the location is is the only negative they do need to AC and the customers cause it gets very hot but she's fast efficient and extremely helpful and helps keep count while you're figuring out which ones to get lol! I don't know if she's part of the owner's family but if she isn't then they need to keep her close because she brings such a professional and friendly and at home atmosphere! But it is a little bit hot in there is the only drawback so thankful we were there fast. Hopefully they can figure that out so it's a little more pleasant because I think I would've ended up staying and maybe get a coffee or some other items to go but with the heat and the amount of people and being hot outside I definitely got out of a lot faster than I usually would. These donuts are ridiculously good! Right now I am trying pieces of five new ones. They are all tasty! I especially like the powdered over glazed
