This place has become a staple to come to when we're at the mall. My son loves the chocolate peanut butter banana shake. We've been coming for years and it's always the best quality. I've had the strawberry shake and it's really flavorful. Tastes like fresh strawberries. I would stop by this place If you're in the area for snack time.

Super nice, and fast with my order. It is located across from a Mediterranean restaurant and looks busy, but it's usually the people waiting to be seated. Don't let that stop you from going to get a drink. I got the standard strawberry and banana drink and it was out before I could even think about pulling out my phone and start scrolling through social media. Super clean storefront and has a kind staff. Always love to stop here as I start my shopping day at this mall.

Best smoothies ever! Food: The smoothies are absolutely great. They have small snacks if you are mildly hungry as well. They even have cup o' noodles! My favorites smoothies and absolute go-tos are any of the protein smoothies, specifically the Bee Stinger or the other protein smoothie with Brewer's Yeast. Service: The ladies working here are always incredibly nice and helpful. Although there is usually only one person working at a time, they manage to get all of the drinks and orders finished in a timely manner. If you're looking for a good smoothie/juice place, this is the best place to go to. I'm surprised it's a chain because the recipes are amazing!

Not a single review so far under 4 stars so I had to come check this place out since I love boba. Originally, I thought how could this place get such great reviews, maybe people reviewing have never had SGV 626 boba before? After all, they're located in a mall, and we all know how mall boba typically tastes like..... So surprised, but this place sure lives up to the Yelp reviews. Could not have imagined a place like this serving probably the best boba of the IE. It's chewy and it's the perfect amount of sweetness, what more could you ask for! I got the strawberry banana smoothie with boba, yeah they recommended boba with it even though I thought it was strange, but it was DELICIOUS. Didn't ever think boba would go so well with a fruit smoothie. I also tried the mango strawberry smoothie but it wasn't as good as the strawberry banana. My sister got the Thai tea which she loved, and that it's just as good as the smoothies they have here. The best part is that it's so healthy for you (the smoothies at least since they're made of real fruit), so I don't feel so bad afterwards getting it with boba. The people here also make an effort to talk to you and recommend drinks for you. The only thing I'm sad about is that they don't really try and give you stamp cards. I had to ask for one the first time after I saw someone else ask for one, and the second time I went I completely forgot about it so I didn't get my stamps. I'm not really used to this because usually places remind me and ask me if I have a stamp card or something. If you don't know what to get, I'd go with the strawberry banana smoothie with boba! I'll be coming here to get my boba fix from now on if I'm around the area.

I Love the customer service here. Best peanut butter and banana shake ive had. Ive tried other peanut butter and bannana shakes from other places but this one is by far the best place. For the custom service i love them. There all so friendly. I always stop by for a shake when i go to the mall. Half the time it's just for a shake.

Felicia K.

I've been coming here for 3 years now and I love it I used to work at the forever 21 here when I was still in school so I was pretty much a regular here lol I get the milk tea on ice it's really good my favorite drink! It tastes Milky some people say it taste like coffee but either way that make it great! Theres also another place in the mall that sells boba but it's no comparison. If you come her I recommend the milk tea

Wonderfully fresh smoothie spot in the corner of the Galleria. Great options for protein/health enhancements etc. Get a great sized smoothie for only $5. Can't go wrong with the Strawberry Banana.

This is by far my most favorite place to get a smoothie PLUS boba! My husband and I have been going here for years! The owners & staff are super amazing and sweet and remember you even if you haven't come by in a while. You can mix any flavors together and they even give you the best suggestions too if you are stumped. I always get a pineapple and raspberry smoothie with boba. The boba is very fresh and cooked daily. Once I came in when the mall just opened and they were still making the boba, so I had to come back less than an hour later and it was ready and fresh. I love this place and would give it a bagillion stars if I could! read more

God I love this place, it's hands down the best smoothie place I have been to. Granted I have not been to a lot of smoothie places, but I would still take my word if I did not know me... (yeah, that makes sense). The staff there is really smart and very nice too. They always get my order right, even when they have never had anyone order it quite like that before. If it's not busy, the employees will usually chat with me, and they actually remember who I am and pieces of our last conversation, which is honestly more than I can do myself. The smoothies are a little pricey, but raw fruits aren't cheap either. Trust me when I tell you though; it's worth every penny. read more

They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

I tried the matcha with whole milk unsweetened to really see how the matcha tasted at baseline. i…read morewould say it's comparable to much of the matcha I've tried around the IE. i imagine with some syrup, you could have a fun drink but for any matcha lovers out there, I'd say this is average or a little below for the IE area. i didn't try their coffee, which is what they're more known for. overall the staff were friendly and efficient. they had bathrooms available for customers. the shop itself is industrial style and can seat around 15-20 people. overall nice place, but I'd like to see better matcha. i hope to try the coffee next time I go!

They…read morehave a pretty big menu with lots of milk tea and fruit tea options, and the drinks are always made fresh. The boba itself has a nice chewy texture and the sweetness level usually comes out just right. The shop has a relaxed vibe and it's a good place to stop by with friends or grab a drink while you're out in Riverside. Service has always been quick and friendly whenever I've gone. Definitely a solid place if you're craving boba.

There was a cool retro Pac-Man but I couldn't get it to play Pac-Man only the other ladder game. There was cute sitting areas throughout the cafe, I'll call it. There seemed to be lots of options, they sell soft serv ice cream cones and the fushi pastry eoth different kinds of fillings. I'm going to bring my daughter , dhe absolutely loves boba. I ordered a peach green tea it was fresh, I enjoyed it. My son ordered some milk boba drink he said it was delicious. Service was great, the young server at the register greeted us, seemed frie day and welcoming which is huge for me. I'll provide an update once we try other items, but for now I'm giving 4/5.

5 stars for always being consistent and delicious. I mainly visit on Saturdays for lunch and it…read morecan be busy but the staff is pretty efficient and gets orders out quick. Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

Definitely 5 stars for the breakfast Atmosphere inside is very welcoming and cute nothing fancy just an old school feel which I like Customer service 5 stars for sure. Employees have been friendly each time and they bring out food to you on the patio. Unfortunately the location is increasingly a problem at least while sitting outside. Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

I've tried several of their…read moreholiday drinks, and every single one has been delicious--flavorful, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Their pastries are also really good and pair perfectly with a coffee or seasonal drink. The space itself is clean, modern, and has a really trendy, inviting vibe. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and stay awhile, whether you're catching up with someone or just enjoying some time to yourself. Every visit has been consistently great--nothing has ever disappointed. Overall, Arcade Coffee is a solid go-to in Riverside if you want good drinks, good pastries, and a nice atmosphere.

This is a solid, upscale coffee shop in Downtown Riverside. I've been to their other locations as…read morewell, but mostly visit Bakehouse and Downtown. As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.
