    Caffe mocha

    Was looking to get some breakfast as we were spending time on the bridge. The food is yummy and they have coffee and tea. It's cozy inside and the cashier was very nice

    Excellent stop for breakfast on the lake. Wife ordered a breakfast sandwich with gluten free bread, which can be hit or miss. Toasted cauliflower bread was delicious and alot of love and attention went into each item we ordered. Will stop by again!

    Great new spot in an awesome location along the water! Sat out on t her patio with my pup in the morning sun enjoying my Island Latte (Mac nut milk, white chocolate and coconut). Will be back over and over!

    Beautiful view on front patio.

    I love the location. I stopped during a bike ride to try only the coffee. Nice courtyard patio and a small screened enclosed balcony over looking the channel. I was surprised and happy they brew my favorite local coffee by River Blend Coffee Company and sell bags of it as well. The drip coffee was sufficiently strong, I could add half and half and still have a nice coffee flavor. (Many places make coffee too weak) Very helpful person working. I would have loved a more friendly greeting though. I'm spoiled living in Havasu with all the friendliness.

    Maybe a bad day for them, much better places out in Lake Havasu that actually has good coffee, better price and friendly staff.

    Waited 30 mins for a small latte. Worker was overwhelmed. Do not come here if you have somewhere to go.

    Gross. Their drip option apparently was blueberry flavored. Unexpected and unappetizing.

    It would be nice if they opened when they were supposed to be open. Don't bother coming here in the morning and head over to Starbucks.

    Great place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat, or grab a cup on the way to your boat.

    We visited with another family while vacationing in Arizona and had one of the worst dining…read moreexperiences we've had in a long time. We've been coming to lake havasu city for 6 years. From the moment we were seated, we were ignored while every other table around us was greeted, served, checked on, and treated warmly. To make matters worse, the overall ambience felt dirty and poorly maintained, which immediately gave a bad first impression. Our server, Reena/Rina, never introduced herself and never properly attended to our table. I was left with an empty coffee cup for most of the visit. At one point, our friend had to flag her down and ask for a refill, and even then she initially ignored him. She walked around with a pot of coffee topping off every table but ours. My husband received an orange juice and water early on, but once those were gone, neither drink was ever refilled. Meanwhile, every surrounding table received attentive service--drink refills, condiments, check-ins, and everything they needed while waiting for their meals. We were there for about an hour and never received food. Not once did anyone apologize for the delay, acknowledge that we had been waiting, or offer any explanation. I listened to her laugh with other tables, calling them by name, apologizing for the wait. It was so uncomfortable. I felt extremely awkward. What made this especially upsetting was how singled out we felt. It genuinely seemed as though we were being intentionally avoided while everyone else was treated normally. I have never felt discriminated against in a restaurant until this experience. As visitors to the area, it also left us wondering whether tourists are treated differently. When we finally got up and left, the server watched us walk out the door and said nothing. This was unacceptable and deeply disappointing. No guests should be made to feel ignored, unwelcome, or targeted. A manager or owner should reach out and address how this happened, because no customer should leave feeling this way. AWFUL server!!!!!

    Really disappointing experience at Sam's Restaurant. Our server, Rena, was rude from the beginning…read more No introduction, no name--just walked up and said, "what are you drinking?" The tone felt off right away. I noticed she was friendly with other tables and offering things like coffee, but didn't extend the same to us. Also, right at the entrance to the kitchen--where servers are constantly walking in and out--there were dirty towels on the floor, and staff were literally stepping on them while bringing food out. It didn't look clean or professional at all. (See attached photo.) After being there for over an hour, we ended up walking out. What was most surprising is that no one seemed to notice or care--it felt like a normal occurrence, which lines up with other reviews I've seen. Between the rude service and the lack of cleanliness and attention, this was a terrible experience. Never again.
