Tasty coffees - good food - great vibes All around wonderful experience at Arcade! You can see a large packed patio before heading in and that's a sign that the place rocks. The espresso was marvelous (bitter and warm as it should be) and the drawing on the cappuccino was a nice touch. The muffins were delicious (thank you Sarah for asking if we liked them warm up). Several individual/couple tables to read/work and a larger table for a group. Staff is working quickly and efficiently! We'll be back! read more

As soon as I walked up my eyes liked their outside patio and view. Peaceful and perfect for that alfresco outside dining experience. Now the inside is another story. Sad emoji face display after I went inside but first the coffee. I had their Espresso Shot and Cortado to start with. The coffee Is legit and I say that because I'm familiar with the Arcade Coffee Roaster so there's that. I also ordered the Cherry Glaze Latte which was a pretty good balance and I'm glad I did since it's seasonal. Ok so I'm not judging how people like to live but when you walk into a place where you have to clean your table and chair before you sit? That's a problem and especially if they just opened?! Come on man. Plus the windows were Hella greasy with fingerprints everywhere?! Yeah, totally killing the inside vibe. But that's just me. The service was good so no complaints there but I will just say be very careful of the hidden fees like extra charges for cold foam and syrup? So my latte ended costing me almost a Hamilton! It would've been nice if they said hey we're charging you for these extras. So not cool! And if I would've known that then it would be a hard no on the latte. And that's my take onto this shop, Peace out... read more

Perfect day for a seasonal drink and breakfast entree! We ordered the seasonal earth matcha, raspberry matcha, steak breakfast burrito (salsa verde is a must), and bagel with chili crisp cream cheese. Matchas here were mildly better than the other arcade cafes I've tried in Riverside. Packed and lively cafe with many guests doing work on their computers. Plenty of outdoor seating. Baristas were kind, checking in on pending orders. read more

Their breakfast is good and flavorful. The arcmuffin was quite spicy actually but delish, with the bed of soft scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, sausage & the chili crunch oil aioli. Small sandwich but it was packed! Quite messy and oily. The muffin is made there I think and had a nice bounce and slight sweetness maybe. Not much frills with their drinks. However, the prices are so expensive. Their matcha tea 12 oz with added syrup was nearly $10 for a small drink and almond milk sub. Got cardamom but I didn't taste the flavor. It was also basically $16 for the handheld bfast muffin sammich. In total, almost $30 for 2 small things. Yikes. LA pricing but it's not even LA. Kind of a small space to work at and get coffee. It was packed on a weekday late afternoon. Seating outside. I think they have 2 restrooms. Will try their sweet baked goods next time! I've also been to the location on Main St. in downtown which had good breakfast as well. read more

We love coming here, even though we don't get to make our way out here too often. Their sourdough is amazing and the coffee is even better. This visit they had a promotion where you get a free coffee with a food item purchase. I got avocado toast and added an egg and a brew latte. My husband got the Arc sandwich I think it's called and a cappuccino. The brew latte was phenomenal, I hadn't tried it before and was pleasantly surprised. It's a cold brew that comes out of a tap, so I was a bit nervous it was gunna be mid. The only issue this time was the food took almost 30 minutes to come out, which I don't think is typically normal. My husbands sandwich was so good, it was hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. My avocado toast was fine, it's just the pickled red onions overpowered the avocado. It's a good spot in a cute area. Definitely recommend read more

The Bakehouse - Avocado for the avocado toast. The pickled onions make it almost too acidic. But it's not bad, I added salt to cut that strong vinegar. - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

Aesthetic-wise, Arcade Coffee Roasters gives major hipster vibes -- in a good way. The music is nice and soothing, there are plenty of tables, and it feels like the kind of place you could hang out for a while. The person taking my order was very nice. I ordered the Arc muffin, and WOW. It was soooo delicious and packed with cheese. Not gonna lie, it was pretty big, so it was a little hard to bite into, and it was so juicy that it literally moved around every time I took a bite messy but absolutely worth it. I also tried the draft latte, which was my first time ever having coffee on draft. It was incredibly smooth and surprisingly strong. I really liked it. If I lived closer, this would 100% be my go-to coffee spot. Great drinks, great vibes, and solid food -- definitely worth a visit. read more

I have mixed feelings about arcade bakehouse . The drinks are honestly a let down. I've tried two different drinks and they were both kind of watery and bland. Maybe it's because arcade specializes in coffee. I don't drink coffee so I got a matcha latte with simple syrup and it was very bland and watery. The next day, I came back and got a yuzu peach green tea and a steak sandwich. The drink was again bland. I thought it would be like a sweet refresher type of tea but I watched the barista put a tea bag in water and serve it to me. For $4.50 I expected maybe some yuzu syrup or something. It was also unsweetened. If you like strong tea too, this is not the tea to order. They were happy to add some simple syrup for me after I tried it though. Now for the good parts! The steak sandwich was phenomenal! Hot, tender ribeye, delicious aioli and melty cheese. It was a very satisfying lunch while studying. This spot is great for studying. It has a bunch of small tables with plugs on a long green bench, as some small tables next to the windows (no plugs), and one large table that people share to work at with plugs. The music is a tad bit loud but not bad for a lively coffee shop. It's not as overstimulating as other coffee shops. read more

This used to be my go-to coffee shop, but I was disappointed by my experience today. My drink was accidentally made as a small instead of the large I ordered. When I pointed it out, the barista said he would remake it, which I appreciated. However, he also told me I couldn't keep the original drink and then dumped it out right in front of me before making the new one. I understand mistakes happen, and I appreciate that they corrected the order. It was just frustrating to watch a perfectly good drink be thrown away when it could have simply been given to me since the mistake wasn't mine. It felt unnecessarily wasteful and left a negative impression. read more

Very cute spot for meet ups, work, or much needed alone time. The staff were friendly gave great food recommendations (I got the steak sando and seasonal earth matcha). There is plenty of eating both inside and outside and tons of food and drink options. My steak sando was sooo tender and delicious. The matcha was the perfect balance of sweet and earthy. read more

Came here to on a Monday afternoon and it was busy! Many people were working on laptops, catching up with friends, or reading. Thankfully, there were places to sit outside as the inside was packed. Georgia was very sweet in helping me pick a drink as this was my first time. She even gave me a sample of it first and it was delicious. I ordered the largest draft latte they had, and I wish they had larger sizes in the cold coffees. The coffee did seem pricy for a 12 oz. at $7.25. Their choices for drinks are a bit limited and there are no cold foams or creamy toppers, but the coffee was really good and so was the service. read more

Arcade Coffee Roasters - The Bakehouse is located in the Canyon Crest Town Centre, just steps from East Coast Bagel. I love stopping by for breakfast and coffee. They have a case full of pastries but I usually go for the Arcmuffin - sausage, frittata, their English muffin, chili crunch aioli, and cheddar cheese. This is a savory breakfast that is incredibly flavorful. They used to carry the LBS, which is Longanisa (Filipino sausage), frittata, their plain bagel, plantain ketchup, and American cheese. I recently tried their Avo Toast and was surprised how delicious it was - the flavor profile leans toward pickle and I loved it. Of course, I love pairing any of their breakfast items with either an iced vanilla latte or honey cinnamon latte - both are really good. And the baristas sure make pretty latte art. They also sell freshly baked sourdough bread, which is amazing. The ambiance is modern with a lovely atmosphere and friendly employees. Inside it's bright with lots of natural light -- my kind of vibe. The outdoor patio is where I usually like to sit. It's especially beautiful during the spring when it's not too hot or cold outside. Parking during the weekend mornings can be challenging, as the town center gets pretty busy. Overall, Arcade Coffee Roasters in Riverside has grown on me over the years and I just love coming back here to start my mornings with a hearty breakfast and a delicious cup of coffee. read more

The vibe of this place is spectacular and calming! I came here on an early morning and was greeted with the warms smells of the coffee turning! The menu had everything you need and was super easy to navigate! I went with the breakfast sandwich and I must say the portion and taste was exquisite! The cold brew was my vibe with hints of chocolate and hazelnut, both refreshing and that caffeine kick to get the morning going. read more

Best matcha I've had in a while!! I wish I could get this year round it is soooo delicious and such a cute idea so creative. I've gotten it from this location and the one downtown and I have to say the downtown location is much friendlier, the last few times I've picked up from here my thank yous were ignored but oh well love the drink! read more

Decent coffee, but the food is a bit overpriced. We got the burrito and breakfast sandwiches, both were delicious and came in good portions that'll definitely leave you full, just a little pricey for what you get. The service is good, though the place is always busy so expect a bit of a wait. The vibe is great with lots of people studying or hanging out, but it can get a little noisy. Overall, it's a nice spot to stop by if you have time, but there are cheaper options nearby for similar food. read more

Wonderful coffee and excellent service. At the canyon crest plaza on the same row as slice house. Inside tables or patio seating available. Welcome staff, helpful and friendly merch available with featured seasonal items. Whole bean coffee bags also available for subscription with delivery. Great beans freshly roasted. Pastries, breads, breakfast items. Free parking around the plaza. read more

Love the little plaza where this location is. A lot of outside sitting. We tried two drinks from the seasonal menu which were That Fall Drink & Apple Butter. Of course we needed to get some breakfast so we order the burrito and my fave, the arcmuffin. I saw the pumpkin concha and I needed to try it, it did not disappoint, sooo good!!! read more

Arcade has 3 locations in Riverside. I believe this is the second out of the three. This location is the bakehouse, where they specialize in food/pastries. It's in the Canyon Crest shopping plaza. There is a lot of parking, but it can be difficult to find. There are two doors, both entrances. The bake house looks like a contemporary, rustic but modern coffee shop. Their menu is prominently displayed on a wall with a projector. I believe everything on the menu is farm to table and mostly brunch items like breakfast burrito and breakfast plate. The front counter has a pastry shelf, which there were not many left of. The pastries go quickly earlier in the morning. It has a decent size seating area, but can get packed quickly with students and people working. There is always people coming in and out, we came around 12. Luckily, there is patio seating outside. It didn't take long for us to order, there were a couple people in line. I ordered the arc muffin and matcha latte with vanilla cinnamon. There is only two sizes for drinks. This is what the barista recommended. She had also said the arcmuffin had some kick to it. The bake house was constantly busy, so my order did take a while. The staff call out your name and place your order at the pickup counter at the side with your receipt. They have utensils and other condiments at the side. I noticed they have a sign posted saying there is a time limit. My arcmuffin was wrapped in tinfoil. It was very delicious and I could see what the barista meant by the arcmuffin having a kick. The matcha latte was very well done. My total came out to $25. My friend had gotten matcha latte as well with avo toast. She added an egg to it. Once her order was ready, she saw they gave her avocado in a separate container. We were a little surprised, we thought it would already be added to the toast. They also gave her a scrambled egg and hadn't asked how she wanted the egg. Overall, a decent experience. read more

We were looking for a mid day coffee and happen to be next to this. Overall, good local spot to come enjoy coffee with friends or sit and do some work. There were plenty of tables inside and outside. They did have seasonal Fall drinks, I tried an iced salted caramel latte and thought it was good. The sweetness was a good amount. I'd come back here if I was in the area! read more

I just recently started coming here and I can confidently say this coffee shop is my favorite. Their draft latte is top tier. It's the perfect amount of sweetness and not too milky. I don't think i've never had a better iced coffee than this one. I love the inside of the cafe, very open and lots of natural light giving it an extra touch of warmth :) Their service is always very helpful and on point. Definitely will be coming back! read more

The Bakehouse - Draft latte - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

Great if you like lattes, bad if you like coffee. The lattes are good because the ingredients mask the taste of the bitter espresso pulls. Would not recommend if you're someone that enjoys the taste of coffee without the need to add a bunch of milk and syrups. The espresso is usually sour as someone that typically enjoys coffee with maybe milk, no sugar. I've given this place multiple tries as I like to refrain from buying from chains, but have already experienced a clumpy matcha because they said they were using a tool instead of whisking by hand when charging $7 for the drink. read more

wouldn't return. i ordered a large hot latte with salted caramel syrup and cold foam. it came to $10. and this size was the large! the taste of the coffee was okay. nothing great nothing bad. it was truly the size and the price of the drink that was upsetting. this size at starbucks is the smallest cup they offer, however at arcade coffee it's the LARGEST cup they offer, and it was $10. Super disappointing. they're was 3 people ahead of us in line and we only waited 3 or 4 minutes to order. when we did order it was nothing special, the guy who took our order wasn't rude nor extremely nice. just seemed whatever. read more

The Bakehouse! Tucked away between lovely local shops, beside a serene lil water feature--perfect to ground myself mid-workday. I love making the drive over to reset & get some sunlight, watching the cute birds while I eat my delicious brunch & sip on my tap latte. Their full menu's to die for--in case you're wondering, each one of Arcade's locations has a different food menu to explore. Inside there's plenty of tables & outlets to study at--they fill up fast but worth a shot. Staff's very efficient, helpful & friendly; parking isn't too bad, definitely the perfect location to unwind & wander around at. read more

The best coffee in Riverside, hands down with no exceptions. Their pastries are baked daily in house. They make all their own syrups and they rotate them frequently. I love the avocado toast here and the breakfast burrito is also notable (filled with crispy tots and perfectly seasoned steak). One note here, consider not having your pastry warmed up when they are really busy. I've been the victim of a forgotten pastry many times This is not good place to study, go to the library. Seating inside is already limited and people who sit around on laptops don't help. Other coffee shops have a strict "no studying" rule on weekends that I really think should be imposed here. Alas, a business is not responsible for its patrons so it doesn't affect my rating. Good coffee, good food and friendly staff... it's all I could ask for. read more

We were looking for a breakfast place with a patio since we had our dog with us. Arcade Coffee Roasters was excellent. The line was out the door so we knew it was a good find. Service was fairly quick, especially since it was so busy on a Sunday morning. There was plenty of outdoor patio seating as well as seating indoors. We had the arc muffin and the bakehouse burrito along with iced and hot lattes. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Riverside. read more

Really cute spot in Riverside! I always love going here to catch up with friends or study because of the very comfy interior. Their scones are all amazing! I especially love getting their blueberry scones in the mornings alongside my usual hot matcha latte (although pretty standard, it comes at a reasonable price). Service is always awesome and servers really make the space feel very home-y and intimate. Overall great cafe environment! Great scones! And kind awesome staff! read more

This place has always been terrible, but I've overlooked it because Arcade's downtown location is so great. But today I can no longer stay quiet. Here is what you need to know: Service: trash. It takes them forever to not only make a drink but to make it right. Example: Today, as I waited in line, my friend was constantly overlooked by friend to take orders from people behind her. She had to ask what's going on. They gave her an attitude. Quality: terrible. I don't know if the people who work here are not trained well or what. But their drinks are constantly so subpar. Example: The staff made a drink so poorly that I can only describe it as a Swiss miss hot cocoa fail. That drink cost $8. I literally threw the drink away. Went to the bagel shop 100 ft away and got a black coffee from a drip machine that held more complexity and depth than whatever nonsense Arcade serves. Conclusion: this place is all hype and optics. The owner got a nice looking place but doesn't train his employees (im assuming) and they just charge insane amounts of money for it...and we all pay. Do yourself a solid and go to the gas station. The coffee pot sitting with coffee for the past two days is gonna be better than what they have here. read more

We stopped in for breakfast, but unfortunately, they were out of French toast (lesson learned: must arrive earlier next time!). On the bright side, this gave us the chance to try some pastries and share a breakfast burrito. The Oaxacan cheese and salsa really made the burrito stand out. Our son had the avocado toast, and we also shared a Fresno chili scone and a candied bacon puff pastry, both of which were delicious! The coffee was also great, but today, it took a backseat to the food. We chatted with the staff, who kindly offered us a sample of the watermelon-flavored canned coffee. It had one of the most unique flavor profiles I've encountered in a while, although I'm not sure I would drink it again! read more

I'm so sad to be writing my first "negative" review, but unfortunately, this place deserved it :( The customer service was subpar. The guy at the register was uninterested as he took our order. To make matters worse, the cafe doesn't allow substitutions yet they'll gladly remove items without a price reduction (so you pay full price for less product). My latte was decently good, but I'm not a coffee enthusiast so I can't be sure. My boyfriend got the matcha- he IS a matcha enthusiast- and he said it was average. Nothing too special. Onto the food, it was so upsetting that I won't even be including a picture. The brekkie sammie was EXTREMELY greasy, way too heavy for breakfast/brunch. There was almost no aioli on my sandwich. The bacon was overcooked, very tough and chewy- I basically had to discard it because my teeth hurt and it was difficult to swallow. Overpriced. Disappointing :( Hopefully you guys have a better experience! read more

Came in for Brunch, very good food 5 Stars. I've only visited their other location in the Industrial area. So first time coming to the Main St Local. This place has hands down some of the best coffee in SoCal. I buy their beans, I drink their espresso hot and Cold, their cold brew, and pour overs are top! I've had some very polite and friendly outgoing service here. I've only had one poor experience at the register with a not so friendly, no effort on putting g customer service at the front with good body language and friendly demeanor. I guess everyone has bad days to bad for her. But other than that this place is one of my favorites. Great coffee, atmosphere, staff, food ect... read more

I have checked out their tasting room, and while I really enjoyed the coffee and snacks, it missed the vibrancy and energy of a busy coffee shop. The bakehouse is the sibling of the other location, and it is definitely the spot I'm looking for. Delicious seasonal coffee, assortments of delicious pastries, and a great open space for studying with an extensive outdoor environment. The baristas are friendly and service is fast. Easily one of my favorite coffee spots in the IE/Riverside area. read more

They have 3 locations and I thought the food had a different take than their downtown location. I came here mostly to study and to get a coffee to do some work. But I was intrigued at their food menu that I ended up getting a Steak Sando. I was not disappointed. It had a lot of flavor and most important part was that I was full. They have a lot of other food dishes that I need to try but their coffee was solid! Come here if you tryna do some work inside or outside with some terrific food! read more

Wow, riverside... your coffee game has come up since I attended college decades ago. Arcade coffee is top tier! I really really enjoyed their iced americano & iced vanilla latte. The Americano was so smooth & nutty- just how I like it. We also tried the browned butter carrot muffin and wowie, I'm still dreaming about it. I will definitely stop by again if I'm ever in town or driving thru. Or.... Can you guys open in OC?? :) The inside is simple & cute! Service was quick & super friendly. Will have to try more baked goodies & foods next time! read more

So whenever I go to arcade and get Arcade's perfect coffee I bring a mug. I sip their delightful bean water and relax. Arcade gives you free refills on black coffee when you're sipping at the shop... which is baller and fantastic. BUT TODAY! Literally the greatest thing happened. I was sitting outside the shop with a friend and found my cup empty. I thought to myself, "hm, time for a refill," and got up to get a refill. WHEN I ENTERED THE SHOP ESTHER DUBYAK WAS IMMEDIATELY READY (attentively saw me coming in with empty mug) WITH COFFEE POT IN HAND TO REFILL MY MUG! What! THAT is service! COME ON! LIKE WHO SEES SOMEONE COMING FROM OUTSIDE AND GETS READY TO REFILL MY MUG? NEVER IN MY LIFE! I'm speechless. Is this a Michelin star coffee shop??? Well done, Arcade. You've done it again. read more

I normally do not write bad reviews, but the last 3-4 times we have been in the area my family has got coffee here and all the lattes are not good.
