    Delicious coffee, great vibes even got to try the brewed coffee sampler, sweet great vibe service was amazing aesthetic is chill rustic.

    Honey Cinnamon Latte
    Leonard A.

    As cool as the band Arcade Fire and the eye pleasing Indie vibes to go with it. This shop definitely rocks when it comes to the coffee and they have dine in service to go with it. I ordered an espresso shot to start with so I could taste what I was getting myself into. After having it, I was ready to go! My second drink was their Gibraltar which was a Cortado and I already knew it was going to be good. My last drink was a basic Honey Cinnamon Latte which was well balanced. All the drinks delivered what I wanted and I was definitely satisfied. The space is really big with plenty of seating and it has the look that says we're here to preserve coffee culture. Now it may not be cute but if you want good coffee then here you go! I was also vibing to the playlist that consisted of head bobbing deep house. Overall it was a positive experience and the baristas are super chill. That's my take, Peace.

    My first time at Arcade was great! I stopped by for coffee after many recommendations and was surprised with the breakfast selection. The food was delish and I love that they serve their coffee in glass when you're dining in! Such a cute place, love the decor and the overall vibe. Service was great. Everyone was so polite and made great recommendations! I'll be back for sure!

    Steak sandwich
    Vahe A.

    I had the steak sandwich and it was pretty good. The bread was nice and fresh, the meat was cooked perfectly, and the sauce brought everything together very well. Our party got 3 different food items and everyone enjoyed their food, so that tells a lot. The pastry also looked pretty good. The wait time though was pretty horrible - I think I waited around 30-40 minutes for my sandwich! I just hope that is not their normal flow.

    vanilla latte
    Marie G.

    I ordered an iced vanilla latte and thought it was good. The coffee tasted a bit burnt. I would probably try different beans next time and ask for a different syrup flavored latte. Overall it was just okay. It gets pretty busy on the weekends, so I'd definitely recommend going on a weekday or earlier in the morning if you can. Parking can also be a bit difficult but not too bad.

    Single origin espresso with sparkling water.
    Felix W.

    I got espresso. I tried the single origin and the house blend. The single origins had good crema, medium body, with notes of chocolate and fruit/citrus. It wasn't bitter or burnt. Solid execution 4/5. Probably more flavor clarity would have made it perfect. The house blend was also good. Not bitter or burnt, good crema and slightly more creamy texture than the single origin. I tasted more acidity in this shot but it wasn't overpowering 3.5/5. A solid choice if you like espresso.

    Chocolate Concha
    Christian Z.

    This coffee shop was a great experience overall. Parking was a little tricky at first since it's street parking only, but I was able to find a free spot without too much trouble. The menu was pretty straightforward. I ordered a 10 oz latte and a chocolate concha, which came out to $11.53. While pour-overs are usually my go-to, they weren't available when I visited, which surprised me since I noticed signage mentioning a tasting room on certain days. That said, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the experience more than made up for it. It was really cool getting to see them roasting coffee while I was there. I've always wanted to walk into a coffee shop and see the roasting process in action. The latte was excellent--you can tell the beans they roast are high quality. The chocolate concha was also a standout, easily the best version I've had. The filling was rich and chocolatey, and the texture of the pastry was just right. Overall, a solid spot with great coffee and pastries. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

    Inside

    Coming back to my college town and seeing all these cool places make me wish we had this when I went to school out here. Arcade is a vibe and such a neat set up to grab coffee, a snack, or do some work or study. They have a nice seating area and they do tastings as well. The cold brew hits the spot and has a nice flavor. This will be my go-to when stopping by Riverside from now on. Parking: in front or on street and side Prices: $5-$8 Dietary: vegan and vegetarian options with coffee and tea drinks Staff: nice and helpful Vibe: great for studying, working, or meeting up with friends

    This is a great neighborhood place in the downtown Riverside area. Ordered the honey cinnamon latte (hot) and the jade cloud jasmine green tea (iced). Both were really good. Also ordered the simple breakfast with bacon and herb potatoes -- so yummy! Both outdoor and indoor seating, pet friendly (outside) and street parking.

    Arcade is one of the more quality cafes out in the area. Warm welcoming service. Inside seating has charging stations to keep your juice flowing. There's also a few bench seats outside to enjoy the day. Limited parking spaces or street parking with a short stroll. This used to be an old video store, one of the last standing dvd rental spots. After arcade took over they gave it new life and kept the location alive with wonderful coffee. Freshly roasted in house. They also have bakery items available. Two other locations one in downtown and the other in canyon crest. A community staple.

    ggot a ton of matcha here and i have to say the service here and the matcha is amazing and beautiful. loved the design and the baristas were great, i forgot their name but they were both guys, one was short and had longer curly hair and the other had an eyebrow piercing.

    Having gone to the downtown location, I was excited to try this spot. Definitely a different aesthetic but still is a clean space. This location has lots of tables to work or study at and there are some baked goods you can choose from. The menu is pretty straight forward but they have different syrups and milk options, which is a way to win me over. Working the front, there was only one employee but they were friendly and helpful with answering my bajillion questions.

    Lavender Matcha
    Megan K.

    Great overall experience! The cashier answered all my questions regarding the coffee beans. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and he let me know his own personal opinions. The matcha is hand whisked (not a concentrate). I am a big fan of lavender in matcha, so I would say that this drink did the trick to satisfy my tastebuds. There was a lot of seating inside as well! Perfect for studying.

    Ask the Community - Arcade Coffee Roasters

    Are people allowed to study there?

    Yes, whenever I'm there I see people studying all the time. It's a great place for that because they have a lot of seating, and everyone who works there is super nice!

    Does the staff follow COVID precautions and procedures? I heard some of the staff members are not wearing face masks, which is very concerning and disappointing especially during this difficult time.

    You heard right. Staff are not wearing masks. 2 people behind registers did, but everyone in the food prep/ cook area did not. It's seems as if most visitors are aware this is a no mask kind of business.

    Do they have wifi?

    Yes

    Is almond milk available?

    There are a few milk alternatives, almond is one of them!

    Hows the parking situation here? Is there a private lot? Street parking?

    Mostly street parking. There's maybe 3-4 spots on the private lot.

    Gluten free & vegan pastries?

    Yep!

    Do they serve breakfast?

    Yes, they have daily pastries and weekend brunch. Also pizza on thurs and fri.

    Any organic options? :)

    Yes

    I come here every once in a while after church on sundays whenever i'm in redlands and bro somehow…read moreevery time it's ALWAYS different menu. Slow Bloom always has a rotated seasonal menu that literally reads like poetry. like wdym i have the option to get a Whimsical Strawberry Magic Cheesecake Latte???? i love hojicha more than regular matcha (before the "uuurm, actually--" comments i know they're both matcha) BUT MY FRIENDS STILL CALLED ME PERFORMATIVEEEE?? and do i care? HELL NAH. Hojicha tastes like a nuttier, cocoa-like, more roasted version of matcha, and Slow Bloom does Hojicha GREAT... close with all the drink cafes in KTown.... BUT IN THE INLAND EMPIRE BABY. it was so smooth, whisked, and CREAMY. the vanilla cream top really topped it off, it was perfectly balanced and not insanely sweet. BUT THE MATCHA IS FANTASTIC HERE TOO. i tried a sip of my friend's matcha latte and it was POTENT. ur not gonna get a light green matcha... it'll be dark, yet smooth and not bitter at all. definitely one of the top matchas in the IE. the coffee selection here are so unique, and you can tell they GENUINELY care about have high quality options and varieties (their drip options are plentiful, include origins, and flavor profiles... i see all you pretentious connoisseurs--)

    4/15/2026 Stumbled…read moreupon this place as I was in the area post-Yelp Elite Event. What a happy find! DULCE DE COCO (Limited Menu Item) Got it as a hot drink. Creamy, fluffy foam, coconutty flavor with a bit of caramel sweetness, dark chocolate espresso and alotta cinnamon flavor. Deliciously perfect for a Fall or Winter drink! This drink took me by surprise! Really enjoyed it! CHOCOLATE SEMOLINA OLIVE OIL LOAF It wasn't bad, but a bit disappointed that it was straight up chocolate loaf. Technically, it is more of a cocoa loaf, as it is not sweet nor is there chocolate in it. However, it had a lovely spongy, bouncy texture. Flavor-wise, it's nothing special especially with the long name and all. SUNSHINE MATCHA LATTE (Iced) Nekohama matcha. Latte was a bit sweet. But you can taste the Earl Grey and matcha. Got it with whole milk. It made it creamy, which was good. I did taste a hint of lemon in it as well. Honestly did not like that extra lemon flavor, as it distracted from the Earl Grey itself. I don't think the lemon was necessary. There was citrus flavor, but not tartness. I think citrus peel would have been better if they wanted an extra citrus flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad except the lemon flavor. Really threw me off. CUSTOMER SERVICE Service was nice. Recommended drinks were good. INDOOR & OUTDOOR SEATS A-PLENTY Ambiance had a retro feel, which was fun. Indoor was packed! No tables or seats available. Smaller tables for 2. Outdoor tables and seats were available. Big groups can be seated outdoors with larger tables. Bathroom available. PARKING LOT Small-ish parking lot. Parking lot was packed. Given how packed it was inside, there were a few spots for parking. There is also free street parking as well. Love the drink options here and would love to return when I'm in the area!
