So this is mainly about the online ordering experience, but they have a pretty cool setup at their address w/ vegan options for my fellow herbivores. Before COVID when I went to class I would, as typical basic college girl does, grab a drink from Starbucks. To be honest, I just went there because I was lazy and down the street. In March I started making coffee at home and the advice about selecting coffee was "the best coffee is fresh coffee". I've been a part of their their coffee subscriptions and it was a great choice. They ship right after roasting so there's no risk of getting something that was sitting a fulfillment warehouse for who knows how long. When I had a small issue with an order they were fast to respond and incredibly helpful and they're very open and friendly overall. If you're looking for coffee this is a great small business to support. read more

Oat milk draft latte is on point! Baristas were so friendly and engaging, letting us take a sample of the tap before having it, which for me was the selling point. Light and open area, you could see and smell the beans roasting. A true gem!! But seriously pricey...but I did enjoy my drink, so the money was worth it! read more

This place is amazing to chill and do some studying. They have plugs at the tables along the wall. I highly recommend their breaky breakfast! It was loaded with brisket. I ordered the draft latte. I'm not a coffee person at all so I definitely recommend this drink for those who are like me and like sweet drinks but like it smooth and light. read more

Awesome place for coffee. I came here for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised at this location. Plenty of seating (although the bar stool chairs are soooo uncomfortable), great ambiance to study or get some work finished, and of course, the coffee. I was recommended to try the draft latte, and it was perfect. I ordered the breakfast burrito (forgot the name) and it was pretty good too. Friendly and fast service to top it off. Definitely will be back in the future! read more

The best espresso in Riverside if you want a truly delicious espresso or cappuccino. Their beans are award winning also.

Whatever you do when and if you make it here, get their cold brew. It is definitely worth raving about lol To all the coffee locals and locos (crazies) this place is worth every stop morning afternoon and in between. They have their coffee roaster on deck makes for some fresh fresh coffee which makes aaaaalll the difference. Beans actually have a good for date. Alotta science to it. Haven't tried hot drinks but a cool barista recommended that cold brew. I can't remember the exact name but it was special. Gotta go back and get that name. I think they make it hard to find bc aren't all the best things in life hidden. Oh and also got this pop tart kinda treat pastry super delicious! Magnificent!! read more

Coffee is amazing and I love how dog friendly they are! The tea in my opinion is even better though

This will be the most biased review you will read today. I like games. I like Arcades. I like to pantomime clues while my friends try to guess what I am doing. I like charades. I like floats. I like parades. I can clean my own house. I don't need maids. Do you call a shovel a shovel? I call it a spade. "Wait, what?" "But didn't you just refer to it as a shovel in your question?!" I was streaming on Twitch, one of my followers called in a raid. Someone asked me what my favorite film trilogy was? I said, "I like Blade." When I go to the barber, I ask for a fade. "How is this biased?!" I don't have any facial hair so I never ask for a shave. "I have so many questions?" Given the escalating trade war between the United States and China, do you believe an amicable solution can be reached within the coming days? Or will we continue to see tariffs being slapped on all goods, both foreign and domestic? I don't know, man. I'm just here to talk about coffee - give me a break. I like coffee. I like Arcade. read more

The coffee is great but the underdog is their KOMBUCHA. Arcade's kombucha is by far the best I've had, commercially or otherwise. Whoever makes their kombucha needs to be paid 100x more and I need growlers filled with it because regardless of the flavor on rotation, they never miss! read more

Food was awful. Oj was great. Friends said coffee was stellar. Don't get the food here...their ingredients are from the dollar store. Coffee and oj was good. read more

Breakfast burritos are delicious! However the three stars is for their arcadecoffe2go website. It's not updated on the weekends so the burritos can't be ordered online. Major disappointment every Saturday morning. What's the point of ordering online? read more

Arcade Coffee Roasters - James town Best thing I've ever had Love arcade Coffee!!!!! This place is wonderful the service is great and the coffee is amazing!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Pretty stoked to come in here on a super busy Sunday after the mask mandate for indoors is reinstated and see none of the staff wearing masks. Super sick. Like I am right now with Covid three days later. Morons. read more

First time trying out their new location and just as good as their original shop. Great bean juice and service. Good amount of seating for socializing or studying. read more

If you're looking for a Blue Bottle Coffee in the IE but can't find it (you won't), come here! This place has wonderful coffee, nice young androgynous people in baggie T-shirts and waist-high cargo pants, and the industrial chic vibe that's trending right now. If they add a few green hanging plants from the corners of the ceiling in a few areas, they will capture all the wellness Hygge vibes. Extra points here for having lavender and smoked vanilla for their lattes. read more

I don't have to say much here. My rating is beyond sincere. Arcade coffee roadsters captures the essence of what Riverside is, warm and kind. The coffee is excellent and the staff set the bar for customer care. All their coffee is roasted in house and the food is artisan. Personally I'm a fenatic for their cold brews. Try their combucha, which is also worthy of your taste buds. read more

Great coffee and service! Food on the menu looks great but haven't had anything yet. Will be going back for sure!

Best coffee I've ever had! I can drink it black when I normally use cream and sugar, that's how smooth it is. We buy bags of their beans all the time. It's always great to wake and smell fresh coffee made from their supply, it just smells so good! read more

A great variety of really good beans and drinks. Draft latte is excellent. The syrup+latte is really good. I highly recommend the mocktail. Such a fun and unique drink that I haven't seen in a coffee shop before. They even made a special cold brew drink for me when I couldn't decide what to order. The owners and staff are all really friendly and helpful. The space is large and open but can be hard to find seating if it's really crowded. My only gripe is their lack of signage on the outside on the first visit. They are trying tho and have various attempts at signs. I'm sure this will get sorted out and in no way reflects on the business as a whole. I can't wait to try their weekend brunch! They have stolen my heart as the best coffee shop in Riverside. read more

First time visiting Arcade Roasters and I was very happy. Jordan made an amazing espresso martini . I ordered the steak and eggs and it was just right. Eggs were done right and the steak was done as I ordered it. Olivia M. was on top of things and was able to suggest a Gibraltar that blew my mind. Love it and I will come back for another experience. read more

I work around the corner and always see this place is packed. Well, in the sense that all the street parking is taken up by customers and cars are parked in such a way that they create a horrible blind spot when trying to drive onto Chicago ave. I decided to try this place out one day because I didn't want to drive anywhere and lose my parking spot. I paid $5 for a tiny cup of latte. Like the cup was the size of something you would see at the water cooler in the office. $5...yea. So I drank it and was unimpressed. I can't believe I spent $5 on that tiny cup. You literally get more for less at the Winchell's across the street and it tastes better too! I'm still blown away at the thought of spending $5 for the tiny cup of coffee. Wow read more

Hip fun place. Foods are tasty. My favorite is the draft latte. Nice place to chill with laptop.

Wow, I started coming here right when it opened a few years ago. Right by my school this was the perfect place to study and grab some fresh coffee and food. The staff is super friendly and personable. They started to recognize me and remember my order which For me really adds to a place. If you like lavender their lavender latte is sooo good as well as the butterscotch when your feeling for something sweet. Can't go wrong with any of their food as well I recommend the brekky burrito for something filling, the cheesy grits for when your craving something comforting and salty, and their over night oats for a sweeet quick bite. Also cute merch and I always buy their freshly roasted coffee beans when I don't have time to make it out there read more

Amazing coffee and breakfast burrito. Very chill environment. I love that they have condiments easily and readily available on the back table. The staff was also very nice. read more

I brought my friend Tom to Arcade today, and he was excited by the Jamestown (cold brew given a warm hug by simple syrup and tucked under a little blanket of frothed milk.) In his words, "I don't know if it's what they put in it, or the coffee itself that makes this taste so good." Round 2, I got a drip coffee and he asked what Arcade puts in it to make it taste so good. Tom asked not once but THREE times before he came to terms with how good it tastes black. I pointed to the roaster, and said, "wizards." read more

The coffee is always on point. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to their draft latte or iced butterscotch! I love that they kept the video store aesthetic on the outside of the shop and you're greeted with the coffee bar as soon as you walk in! The staff is so friendly and helpful! read more

Do yourself a favor when in Riverside...google your nearest Starbucks and once you get there keep walking until you hit the welcoming front door to Arcade coffee to remember what a true craft coffee tastes like. You're tastebuds will thank you! I was welcomed by a friendly barista staff and a thoughtfully curated menu of items. I ordered a cappuccino with homemade butterscotch syrup and it was on point. Firstly, it was properly made, silky smooth and the coffee extremely fresh. Well done, Arcade Coffee. I'll be back for sure. read more

I did not like the way the employees feel so entitled. I won't be coming here again. You guys are charging almost $8!! For a 12 oz cup of coffee plus the nasty vibe.. naw keep that. The scones are delicious but I rather give my business to a place that values their customers. I felt really discriminated here, if you aren't light skinned and a hipster you're probably not welcomed here! read more

Small roasters in riverside. They seemed to be out of all specialty single origin. Third street blend ok read more

If you like paying more for something you can get at Starbucks, then look no further. It's not until you unlock their secret menus and specialty flavors that this place has a chance at being good. But at that point, it's no longer coffee and is a true hipster / millennial hangout place. Not for me. I would much rather go to a drip brewer with free refills and get my actual caffeine buzz on for a lot cheaper than a small car. read more

Best coffee in town! The Brekky weekend burrito is amazing! Definitely a must have to try when your in the area.

Loved it! Good service and good coffee and food. Highly recommend if you would like to relax and enjoy a coffee and a little something to eat read more

Coffee is delicious! Smooth and strong! The baristas are amazing!!! So friendly! So nice! The food I did not care for. The blueberry citrus thing was very good. Will definitely be coming back for the coffee read more

I'm not a huge coffee person but I enjoyed the house latte. But my favorite is the grits and avocado toast. Everyone is always incredibly nice and it's always clean. read more

This place was hard to find and its such a hidden gem! I was trying to look for a sign that said ARCADE and found it hidden on a side but also the place is under the VIDEO sign. Everyone is super friendly and very helpful. I went ahead and ordered a cinnamon honey latte. There is sitting spaces but there's not a lot of table spaces. Great place to hang out with friends and maybe not so much to study. Their coffee is really good and tastes amazing. Not too sweet and had the bitter taste that I wanted. I love the customer service and the drinks. I'll be making trips here often! read more

Staff was not wearing mask and preferred to converse with one another while taking my order. To add on my drip coffee was terrible, super over extracted. Waste of time and money. read more

Yo props to the chef. The Brekky Burrito was INCREDIBLE. Drinks are on point as well but woods that burrito. Sheeeeeesh. read more

It was so sketch walking up to the shop for the first time; however, it was exactly what made me fall in love with this place. The baristas were great and very helpful, I asked for help on the menu items and they gave me detail and input on what they can offer. Their drinks are pricey but tasty. This is a REAL coffee place, and I will be back again. read more
