I love to come here before church on Sunday. I try to be in a good mood; however I do love my Carmel coffee. They accidentally overheard vanilla instead of Carmel. I said you know what, it's okay, I'll drink it. While waiting for my food, they made me a whole new Carmel drink. Thank you Brendon for making my morning. I will continue to come here weekly! It was a blessing giving my bf that mis order. Love these guys and their bomb ass food and drinks. Highly recommend ALL iced lattes and the Anaheim, Pocket burritos. Etc !! read more

Love the coffee and donuts here! Their breakfast menu is really good and the staff are always friendly. read more

My friend took me here for my first time and I was so impressed! I love the aesthetic of the shop! Super clean and open. Their menu wasn't overwhelming and had a good amount of options! Tried their maple brown sugar cold brew and it was good! I love me a strong coffee with a little sweetness to it. The cashier was very informative with menu items and super friendly! Would definitely want to come back and try the food items! read more

Ordered: Loaded fries with LIGHT seasoning and LIGHT crema & Hannah Banana PROS: + Hannah Banana latte. Amazing. The reason why this review has a star. + Love the employees. So nice & welcoming. CON: - Loaded fries. Third time ordering & it's disgustingly filled w/ salt despite for asking light seasoning AND salt. Fries were overcooked. This is definitely for the salt lovers. I am so very disappointed. - Poor communication with management.I also left a voicemail with their main line about this concern to give them a chance to call me back to address this issue before posting this. I am giving this a 1 star review because this is my THIRD time ordering despite even asking for LIGHT seasoning and crema. I personally loved them in the beginning when they first opened. I tried 3 times with hopes it will improve. I do not recommend their food anymore & I always used to recommend to my friends & family. For me, I will only get their drinks, but I will never get the food ever again. read more

Highly recommend The Rival breakfast sandwich - sunny side egg with cheese, arugula, bacon, and some sort of sauce that was super duper delicious. We got this twice in a row. We tried the bacon breakfast burrito. It was flavorful and the eggs were so fluffy. I'm not sure how they seasoned and what sauces they used, but their food was full of flavor. I ordered the pistachio latte and creme brûlée latte with oatmilk and I thought it was super sweet. I usually like super sweet but I couldn't finish these drinks. I liked the cold foam on top of the creme brûlée latte. My husband ordered the cold brew and he highly recommends that. He said the cold brew was on point. We also tried the Oreo stuffed donut - solid. And the fennel fries with cookie butter. Fennel fries was limp but my husband could have drank the cookie butter dip by itself. The inside is huge and spacious with plenty of group seating options. Clean and orderly. A space for folks of all ages to enjoy grabbing food and coffee with friends and family and enjoy the ambience of music read more

Came here for the first time and was hooked! I got their iced Maple Brown Sugar coffee with Soy Milk. It was to die for. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and a Oreo donut. Both were fantastic. The burrito had this amazing flavor which I couldn't tell what it came from. The donut was soft and full of filling. I'm so sad I'll have to go home after trying this place. The best part was their subscriptions. Their biggest one was one free drink of your choice everyday for $75 a month. What a steal! I wish they had places like this in the Bay. I can't wait to come back and visit. read more

Rival Coffee exceeded all of my expectations. I believe Caleb helped us and he was cool, had great reccomendations, and told us to try "The Rival" sandwich. It was loaded with fresh avocado, bacon, egg, arugula , etc. and was simply out of this world--flavorful, perfectly balanced, and incredibly satisfying. The drinks were delicious, with a rich and smooth coffee that complemented the food perfectly. The service was amazing; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. Rival Coffee has definitely earned its spot as my new favorite cafe. Very clean and awesome decorations, too. Highly recommend! We left feeling exponentially better, so we might have been a little tired and hungry; if you are while reading this, head here now. read more

Holy moly this place is awesome! We discovered it two years ago on our way back from Palm Springs and had to stop again over Memorial Day on the way home to San Diego. The coffee is great, the donuts are one of the best I've ever tried- almost like a beignet! However, their breakfast sandwich is one of best I've ever had! Service is friendly and fast and the place is huge so you'll always find a seat and plenty of parking outside. This place will always be a stopping point on my way back home from Palm Springs! read more

If you're looking for good coffee and quality food here's where it's at!

Donuts are to die for, genuinely. Never had anything g so light and sweet! Was recommended by a friend and we stop by now every time on our way out of town read more

Three stars only because the coffee was good. But the food was terrible. $10 for a chicken sandwich that tasted like a high school cafeteria chicken patty. My teen daughter looked at it and told me a Wendy's menu chicken burger is more appetizing. Place was pretty packed but again I think it's the coffee not the food. Have you ordered the revolve sandwich and it was OK I don't think it's a $10 sandwich. read more

Just tried the quiles they added to the menu today and they're unreal. The crew hooked me up with a plate to try. Perfect crunch, rich salsa, tender carnitas, and that egg + crema combo HITSSS! Shoutout Kaleb in the back for absolutely crushing it read more

THE BEST breakfast sandwiches! I love the Anaheim and the Rival equally the store is always really busy, including the drive through unfortunately. Minus one star because the Matcha is terrible, they're definitely greedy with the amount of Matcha powder they give in your latte lol, i've had this issue the 3 times i've ordered a Matcha latte so I know that it's the recipe that is the issue. Other than that, super yummy alternative to Starbucks! read more

We will be back again and maybe eat in person there were tons of people dining there on a Saturday morning when I came. read more

I LOVE Rival. It's my favorite coffee shop at the moment. I get the iced maple brown sugar latte!

Been here a couple times already and really enjoy having a iced latte and breakfast sandwich here. Staff is friendly and drinks and food are out quickly. My favorite drink is the iced white chocolate mocha. I've tried both the breakfast sandwiches here between the rival and the Anaheim my favorite if the Anaheim it's a little more on the spicy side. Definitely a place to check out to get some coffee, work, and relax! read more

The service was fantastic! Quick and easy. The location is very spacious and roomy. Really cool vibe. Had an iced hazelnut latte and it was great. The only food item I tried was the Rival Sandwich. The concept is right on and execution was perfect, however I have to be honest, I didn't really care for the sauce on the bacon. Not sure if it's together or separate, but the bacon (or the sauce) was too sweet. Just my opinion though, nothing wrong with the sandwich. The sweetener just overpowered the sandwich. I had to take the bottom bun off to finish it. Other than that, this place is fantastic. read more

This is gonna be a short and sweet review! Get the Lavender latte. It is one of the best ones that I have ever had in my life and I have had many of them. I asked them to make it half sweet and they made it perfect. They have a drive thru which is super awesome. The employees are super friendly and attentive. They don't have attitude like some of the baristas in OC coffee shops do! Check them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

I stopped by here this morning and tried the seasonal campfire latte, banana bread, and my dad had the egg nog latte. The campfire latte was really good, with a nice flavor. The banana bread was also tasty- moist and had actual banana chunks in it. The young man at the front, Donny, (I believe) was very friendly and polite with us. I've always had a good experience here, and i'm looking forward to next time! read more

Rival Coffee is actually three coffee/ breakfast/ brunch places in one. They have a Sit-Down section to the right, as you come in. Straight ahead is an Order & Go setup. To the left is the Open Sitting area, which has a limited menu and is a little of both. We came here around eleven-thirty on a Sunday. There was plenty of parking outside. The Open section was moderately crowded, while the Sitdown section was completely empty, so we chose to sit there. We found the service to be uneven, with various servers appearing to take different parts of our order (coffee drinks & food, etc). We ordered our coffees as we sat down and waited a long time. Over fifteen minutes. Someone else appeared and took our breakfast order and said they would check on our coffees. Guess which arrived first? Yep, the food. We found the Breakfast Plater at $15.00 to be more than fair and generous. While it was visually appealing, it was sadly pretty bland. Since they goofed-up my food order, I was surprised that my replacement arrived before my Nitro drink. Go figure. We might come back at some point. But if we do, we will probably opt for the more crowded Open section. I guess they knew more about the service here than we did. Our tab ran us about $60, including gratuities. Three and a Half Stars. PS, they have an EV Charger outside. read more

Wanted to try a local coffee spot to change things up since the coffee bean is a bit of a drive. Walked in the back end of the shop thinking it was the front, with guidance, I was welcomed into a very spacious dining area and the counter where we place our orders. Looking over the menu I asked for a popular breakfast sandwich and the Rival Breakfast Sandwich was recommended. I ordered two along with a cafe mocha and a chai latte. The sandwiches were good, however the tomato spread kind of threw off the favor flow. Perhaps it was just a little too much on our order. The coffees had a watered down taste and didn't quite give us a "pick me up". Perhaps their coffee is lighter than what we are used to. The facility is a pretty big space for a coffee spot, however the trendy vibe I got as I was passing by peaked my interest! It's a great spot to catch up with a group of friends or a morning meet with some co-workers. We would love to swing by again and try other items on the menu. read more

Coffee was great. Bacon Burrito (ordered in a bowl) was very cheesy and greasy which I was not a fan of. Treated to a free strawberry donut for signing up with the app. Service had the potential to be better... our cashier seemed a bit out of it and was short with us. Loved the music and the vibes of the place. We sat on the couch which was super comfortable and relaxed. read more

I would come to Rival all the time to simply get the goldfish drink with energy. I dreamed about this drink every single day and even when I was away at college just to come back and visit to find out they took it away. I will not be returning to Rival until this drink is back to order because the cherry one is not half as good and that's still on the menu. I'm not made just genuinely disappointed that they would eliminate the best drink on their menu. Please see this as a sign to bring it back and get rid of the cherry read more

I went to Rival coffee a couple years ago when that's all it was. It was more of a coffee joint that had staple meals. They began to take really great items off their menu and just abide by a coffeehouse. I was a little disappointed when their menu depreciated, because that's what separated them from your average Coffee Bean. Sips + Eats is now a part of Rival coffee and the location has doubled in size since Rival coffee first occupied the space. We stopped in for Mother's Day, and they had a menu outlined just for the celebratory day. I'm certain if this location were in a more visible location, so many more people would have stopped in on a day like today. Everything from the positive service to the quality of our food and drinks was perfect. This location will quickly pick-up business if they continue to operate like they did today. Highly recommend! read more

Hello There, Just a very important recommendation. This is our second time in Rival Cafe, and had to witness your front manager, same person by the of "Gordon," treating and cursing at your employees in a very rude way. This manager doesn't care to yell and curse in front of your clientele; definitely, your manager needs some mind of management training. The table next to us was watching and was feeling sorry too. We felt very bad for your front of house employees who always offered us an excellent service. We love Rival for its cultural diversity, passionate, & compassionate service. Thank you! read more

Came here with some friends today and there was definitely a steady flow of customers. There was a flyer on the table for monthly subscriptions, which offer great deals if you visit often. The Grilled Cheese Lunchbox is a great value for kiddos and light eaters. The Rival breakfast sandwich is pretty popular and a good option. The coffee is ok, I've been here enough times to know that whatever I order is going to taste the same as every other drink I've tried...I had the Crème Brûlée iced latte and it didn't taste like crème brûlée, but it wasn't bad either. One of the issues I had today was how loud the music was, you had to talk really loud to have a conversation, so my friends and I finally went outside. When we got out there 2 other groups of people followed and they also felt it was too loud. Service was good. read more

This is my go-to place for Coffee dates!! Every time we do the drive through or walk in, they are so nice and always have a smile. Their coffee is prime!! My kids love the donuts, so we all win in the end. There is so much seating inside that it is easy to find a spot and do what you gotta do! Highly recommend this coffee shop! read more

My go tos: the Rival, the best bacon breakfast sandwich I've ever had/ the creme brûlée latte or cold brew, I'm addicted to say the least/ the goose juice, I'll have gallons of this thank you very much/ their fries, I like mine soft yet a bit crispy and they hit the mark here. Employees are friendly and attentive and are great when making suggestions! Sad that the restaurant had to close but happy that the rest of the coffee shop stayed. read more

Love their new menu and food choices. Everything was delicious. I ordered their chilaquiles, my kids shared their Fruit Pebble pancakes and my husband ordered the Ketosis. The chilaquiles are amazing, perfect for sharing but do have a kick, so be ready for that. I did order a side of sunny side egg to put on top cuz... well u can't have chilaquiles with an egg. Just sayin'. The fruity pebble pancakes are huge and can totally be shared, they are on the sweeter side and to me they taste like a glazed donut. Yum. My hubs had the ketosis and that was delicious. Perfect portion for one person, full of flavor and that chipotle sauce is fire. Why only 4 stars? It took long to get served. The waitress was sweet and kind but was a bit slow to come around. Idk if she is new or not but it did take a while to have her come other to get our order, get our food and pay. Maybe they were under staff. Idk. But it did take a while. read more
