    Let me tell yall. It was truly a blessing to find this place. What's gift. The coffee was amazing, the sweets are cute and tasty, and the vibe is chill. It's a faith based business which is my personal preference and there very much was peace and friendliness in the atmosphere from everyone! I HIGHLY recommend trying this place. It's huge, parking isn't an issue, aesthetic and things are not overpriced. And the baked goods are fresh and homemade.

    Espresso tonic

    This is my second time coming to this coffee roasters and this is one place I would definitely come back to. Last time I came here, there was a market going on during the weekend. This time around, I came on a Monday morning/afternoon. Both days were pretty busy. It is a good place to study or do work and have some outlets. There is a mixture of seatings inside and outside. There is also limited parking in the back. The cashier and baristas were really nice and gave recommendations on their menu. I got the espresso tonic and the barista warned me that it has more of a yuzu essence and not sweet. Which for me was perfect! Overall, it is a great craft coffee shop and would come back again and try other things from their menu.

    Double Matcha & Banana Matcha

    Drinks 5/5 I thought the drinks were really good overall. I didn't get a chance to try the coffee, but I did order the matcha and enjoyed it. The flavor is on the lighter side, so it's not very strong, it really depends on your preference. I personally liked that it wasn't overly sweet, which made it easy to drink. The foam on top was a nice touch and added to the overall experience. I'd definitely come back to try more from their menu! Pastries 5/5 The pastries were a highlight for me, especially the matcha cheesecake. It was incredibly moist and light!! Customer Service 5/5 I came in with my dog and was immediately greeted with a pup cup, which was such a sweet touch. The staff was extremely friendly and made the environment feel very welcoming. They were also patient when explaining the menu, which I really appreciated. Ambience 5/5 I love that they allow dogs, it makes it such a fun spot to visit with friends. They have comfy couches and plenty of photo-worthy areas, and the space is very open with lots of seating Cleanliness 5/5 Location was clean Wait Time 5/5 Wait time was not long at all despite it being busy!

    What a cute place! I love their decor and the layout of the cafe. Super hip! Baristas were super nice. I ordered a hot hojicha latte, their brown sugar coffee and their peanut butter cream cupcake. Hojicha latte was just okay. Nothing special. There's a hint of hojicha and a lot of milk. I wouldn't get it again. The brown sugar coffee was delicious. Very creamy with good coffee flavors. The best part of the cupcake was the cream. The cake itself was very dry. But I was so disappointed because it looked so beautiful! Overall, it was expensive for the experience. Cute but not work the money.

    Banana pudding latte

    This is a great coffee place in Riverside. Easy side street parking. Open feel for enjoying your Joe. I tried their banana pudding latte since I am a banana lover. It was creamy and flavorful. Quick, friendly service. Moderate pricing.

    This place was so cute! The inside was nice and spacious with cute decor all around. I also LOVED the sticker I got. The service was nice. A young man was working the register and offered his opinion on drinks as well as preferences to change mine to make it up to my standard. Only losing 1 star just because I wasn't the biggest fan of my drink. It wasn't bad but it wasn't super good either. I still appreciated the help from the worker though!

    We loved this coffee shop! The drinks were delicious, fresh, and perfectly made. What makes this place even more special is that they support a great cause by helping dogs We'll definitely be coming back!

    Coffee and working remotely

    Had somewhere to be in Riverside and was ahead of schedule, so I stopped by this local coffee shop. Great choice. I got a hot matcha latte that tasted really good, but the standout was the customer service. When I arrived around 5:50 pm it was quiet, but it quickly filled up. Christian let everyone know he was working alone and kindly asked for patience. I was impressed--he hustled the whole time, stayed friendly, and everyone still seemed to have a great experience.

    Banana latte
    Kevin E.

    Banana Latte is amazing. I loved the cafe it's very spacious. Baristas are very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu.

    Caramel Apple Matcha
    Van L.

    Lovely cafe with a creative and delicious array of lattes and matcha drinks! The staff are super friendly and helpful and give great recs! I tried their seasonal caramel apple matcha and loved the vibrant flavors along with the sweet notes of caramel and apple! Highly recommend this place if you like sweet drinks and great vibes! This is also a great study spot with plenty of seating and outlets! There's also a small parking lot in the back along with street parking!

    Iced Blueberry Matcha with oatmilk
    Nikki B.

    This has become a new favorite place to go in downtown Riverside. Stray dogs is such a wholesome place and customer service is so great! The owners are very sweet! Their matcha is very good, high quality and they balance well with their syrups. The seasonal syrups and menu are always so interesting but sooo good! I just tried their blueberry matcha and I loved it! I also recommend their earl grey matcha and just a classics vanilla matcha. They do have parking in the back which makes it easier to get to their store and it's super cute and open inside.

    Cute sign for vibes
    Amber K.

    Both matchas were sooooo good and refreshing. The matcha was perfectly balanced and the fruit flavors tasted fresh. They were honestly perfect Customer service was excellent, very kind and helpful The Japanese matcha cheesecakes were yummy. More of a light and airy texture than a cheesecake texture. Unique and tasty!

    Stray Dogs has a simple menu and delicious coffees & teas. The service was friendly and the space had positive energy. There's ample seating and parking in the rear. It's a cool space, but very religious.

    I had a pleasant experience at Back to the Grind coffee shop as I was looking to get off the road…read moreto take a work meeting (traffic put me way behind my anticipated road schedule). I didn't want to enter any cafe very small/ with petite tables or judgement if I sat down for 1.5 hr to work on my computer. I bought a sausage croissant which was just ok, but still a nice quick breakfast item. I was able to sit in a comfy chair with an outlet source & table to conference in my meeting. I was left unbothered & comfortable the whole time, which I greatly appreciated. There are several lounge chairs, tables & areas to space out to work, read, lounge, etc! I would certainly return another day to try out their coffee menu and those earl grey lavender scones (wish I saw those first!!) The barista was kind & the atmosphere very pleasant!

    SERVICE here is VERY BAD!…read more The service at Back to the Grind was genuinely one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've had. While I was in the middle of placing my order, an older gentleman wearing glasses abruptly walked away from me mid-conversation to speak with someone he knew. No acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. I was left standing there confused and waiting while they casually chatted amongst themselves. At the same time, my husband approached another employee -- a young woman with very long black hair and a pink bandana (see pic)-- simply to ask for the WiFi password. Without even looking at him, she told him he needed to "buy something first." When he explained that I was already ordering, she repeated herself in a dismissive tone and continued making sandwiches without making eye contact once. What stood out most wasn't just the lack of hospitality, but the overall attitude from multiple staff members. The environment felt cold, dismissive, and inconvenienced by customers being there at all. Ironically, the café advertises community classes like yoga and live meditation classes on the window, yet basic customer service and professionalism seem completely absent. The food itself was fine, which is why this review is specifically about the service experience. Even after how poorly we were treated, I still left a tip because I refuse to match that level of disrespect. Management seriously needs to address the customer service culture here. One rude interaction can happen anywhere -- but multiple employees displaying the same behavior reflects a larger issue.

They have great doughnuts. My wife loves the cheese cake blueberry one. In fact today leah (forgive me if I spelt your name wrong) made one from scratch after I had said my wife loves them. I'm not even a big doughnut person and I can say they are really good. Better than any run of the mill yum yums or krispy kreme. There aren't many mom & pop stores like this in riverside and it's great to see places like this opening and staying in business like this for over 6 years now. I personally love their coffee! My go to is a caramel macchiato. My wife has worked in countless coffee shops & even she thinks it's great. The espresso they use is amazing. The place is really clean and has a very chic atmosphere. I wish i took pictures but it has a really nice outside patio area. And they even serve alcohol. There is to much to say so i'll stop here.

When a place posts all these fun, pretty options online, you kind of expect at least some of that energy when you walk in and it wasn't really there. Maybe I caught them on an off morning, but for now, it's a 2-star experience for some overpriced donuts
