    Arcmuffin
    Vanessa C.

    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.

    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.

    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

    steak sandwich

    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.

    Earth matcha

    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!

    Draft latte

    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!

    Coffee and breakfast sandwich
    Bryce Y.

    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.

    Draft latte
    Monica C.

    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.

    Iced Honey Cinnamon Latte with Oat Milk. Sorry for the blurry pic!

    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.

    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.

    large hot latte
    Ally F.

    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.

    pastries

    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.

    Leilani M.

    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.

    Apple Butter iced latte with cold foam
    Lizarely Q.

    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!!!

The owner, Santiago, allowed us to come a half hour beforehand to decorate & we came in, not knowing what to expect.

Then helped us rearrange the layout yet again once we realized the band needed to be next to the electrical outlets. I was embarrassed to even ask so I started doing it myself but they jumped right in without being asked. If I'm being honest, usually I'm not a fan of buffet meals, so I wasn't expecting much. But everything served was SO delicious! The fajitas were my favorite dish, not only flavorful but also nice & moist. Not only that, but they refilled the food for us as it ran out. They brought out to-go boxes for the leftovers, & best believe my family took home every last bite! The lime margarita tower was SO yummy but also hella dangerous because it was strong!! Other restaurants will give you watered down drinks but El Patron doesn't play. We were only planning on one but it was so good, we couldn't resist getting another. From start to finish, the servers (Leslie and Cecilia) were on POINT. Their service went above & beyond expectations-- continuously checking on us, refilling drinks/food, taking photos, etc. Not only that, but also, when my young autistic nephew unfortunately got sick, they were so incredibly compassionate about it & helped clean up the mess right away. I was absolutely blown away by the attention to detail & quality of care. As my grandma is getting older, we are especially cherishing these final years with her. We spent thousands overall (venue, music, photographer, special mass, etc) but every last cent was worth seeing her happy with all of her loved ones. After many months of planning, I was super nervous about something going wrong but I can honestly say that core memories were made. Thank you to Santiago, Leslie & Cecilia for your hospitality, good food & work ethic-- it truly meant so much for our family unit.
