Absolutely delicious bagel and recommend this shop!!!! First time here and will definitely look forward to coming back

Bacon, egg, and cheese with avocado and jalapeño

I just love this place so much and I can never justify buying food out every day however, every time before I go to work, I always make sure to stop and get a bacon egg and cheese croissant in today. I got it with jalapeño and avocado. It's literally perfection.

Came here to pick up the goodies from "too good to go". Its such a good deal for variety of delicious donuts $6 and you get 14 mix fresh donuts. Staff are so friendly and greeted you as you walked in. Parking not a problem. The place is clean and well maintained.

Stopped here on our way to Las Vegas. The people are friendly and they have a nice variety. We got a maple bar, chocolate donut and small apple fritter. All were nice donuts.

Used the app too good to go & was amazed with how many donuts we received! Was really happy with the order, the inside was clean and the donuts were really good , will definitely be coming again!

The owner & her young son are so adorable and kind! This donut shop is a Riverside gem! The donuts are great and the croissants are heavenly! Breakfast croissants are available in the morning. The Thai Iced Tea is Phenomenal Pair it with a donut and thank me later.

I had an amazing experience at this donut shop! I placed a custom order, and they absolutely nailed it--everything was exactly how I envisioned, down to the smallest detail. You can really tell they take pride in their work and care about getting it right. On top of that, the coffee is fantastic--fresh, smooth, and the perfect pairing with their donuts. The atmosphere in the shop was just as impressive. Every single person who walked in was friendly, and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. It created such a positive, upbeat environment that made the whole visit even better. If you're looking for a place that delivers both quality and great service, this is it. I highly encourage anyone to stop by--you won't be disappointed! read more

This is my go-to donut shop, even if I have to drive 10 miles ' The donuts are always incredibly fresh, soft, and they stay that way for days after purchase. They also have a great selection of flavored coffees, and the Café de Olla is absolutely delicious! The customer service is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend this place if you're craving fresh donuts and amazing coffee! read more

Came here for a too good to go order, paid $6 for 13 donuts form the day before. They gave me a good variety and the donuts were delicious.

Sometimes it takes a village--and sometimes it takes a donut shop! I first reached out to local donut shops in the Arlington high school community, but with no luck. So I turned to my dad's favorite donut shop--and of course, Leng and her husband didn't hesitate to step up! With their help, we were able to provide donuts for 120 football players on Memorial Day. It's moments like these that show how much heart our community has. Thank you for making a difference with something as simple--and special--as donuts. read more

Will absolutely be coming back here! Especially for the fresh squeezed juice, they tasted fresh and real. The donuts smelt amazing and were soft fresh as well. Not only was food great but really the customer service was outstanding! Couldn't tell you the last time I went into a donut shop and have someone be so welcoming. We walked out with waaaay more than what we went in for. We got donuts, donut holes, fresh juices, and their sandwich's. Right away we all commented on how clean and well put together the store was. The glass was the cleanest display case I've ever seen! Counters and floors were clean, so was their back area behind the counters. So happy to finally find a donut shop. read more

I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed.

Upon paying what should have been $23 went to $30. We said how? She said u picked special donuts. Well that was only bc she insisted that it was included in the price. We adjusted the donut selection and paid. The real issue for me is the way she communicated to us in a sneaky way as if we wouldn't notice the up charge, not to mention how embarrassing she made us feel. The donuts are not even great. They didn't taste fresh. A bit more stale if I'm being honest. It was a disappointing overall experience. I do not recommend.

They have a special, themed menu that changes every month. There is almost always seating available. They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.

I opted for a sausage, egg, and cheese on a jalapeño bagel and a hot vanilla latte. The bagel was dense, chewy, and had a nice exterior crisp. The egg was fluffy and cooked perfect and the sausage had a nice flavor. My only critique on the bagel is I prefer my toasted quite a bit more. But that's a preference. They serve it slightly toasted and warm. I didn't know and they don't ask, so now I know what to request. The ambiance is bright and cute. It gives me college vibes. I love all the black and yellow decor. It's very well branded. I enjoyed the music playing in the back ground. If in the area, you need to give them a try. Their menu is simple and done well. Part of their menu is seasonal which I think is awesome. There's always going to be something different. They have coffee and matcha. I can't wait to try the Mango Matcha Freeze

My latte came with toasted coconut flakes sprinkled on top. It was one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had in my life! The staff is friendly and efficient. The store not only has coffee and food, but filled with cute plants, stickers, totes, journals and more. Parking is also convenient in the lot. This is now one of my favorite spots, too!

Fabulous and affordable option when you want a sandwich…read more Service can be hit or miss and the person taking orders can seem incompetent/inconsiderate of the time. Ambiance is not the best, as the interior of the restaurant can feel dated--the art does not help--and the booths that comprise the bulk of the seating is private (which I love) but always dirty. Despite the service and ambiance leaving something to be desired, the lunch is great option in the downtown area. I do no recommend the breakfast--the potatoes lack flavor and many items are better made at home, imo. My go-to lunch options Grilled Smokey without onions- a fancy grilled cheese w tomato Tomato soup pairs very well with the grilled cheese Grill Smokey with bacon- solid but sometimes I don't want bacon/meat Tuna melt- so good and I tend to not like celery Black bean soup- solid Upgrade to the pesto pasta salad OR the loaded potato salad Don't recommend the pastrami sandwich-the meat was lowkey gross Baked good/desserts Princess Cake- I'm royalty and this cake hits the right notes and spots Sticky buns- get it Cinnamon bun- get it Cookies (molasses)- yummy and good texture Bagels- great quality bagels to add to a meal Baked breads (when in stock)- love fresh bread and recommend the sourdough

Employees have been friendly each time and they bring out food to you on the patio. Unfortunately the location is increasingly a problem at least while sitting outside. Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

This is a solid, upscale coffee shop in Downtown Riverside. I've been to their other locations as…read morewell, but mostly visit Bakehouse and Downtown. As far as options go, I think there's a decent selection of more unique syrups for coffees. They do change it up throughout the year. The drinks here are definitely more of a premium price point, but I think they're generally good. On this particular trip, I wanted to try their new syrup flavor (it was some form of orange zest, or something similar?), but noticed my latte had no real flavor in it after a few sips. Upon looking at the receipt, the person who took my order just gave me a regular cafe latte and didn't add the syrup I requested. The coffee was fine, but I would have liked trying something new. I have gotten several of their food options before, and I think that some of them are well-priced for the portion and some can be more on the expensive side. I think the avocado toast was pretty robust and was a good value. The steak and eggs are somewhat hit or miss, and I have had it multiple times. The cut of the meat can be chewy at times, and then also more lean and tender other times. Sometimes it comes with large pieces of chewy fat, which isn't quite to my taste. The sandwich options generally are a good value. I do kind of wish they switched up their menu a bit more often, since this current menu is rather basic and they have had more interesting food options before. Overall, a decent choice for a more premium coffee, tea, and food for the Downtown/UCR area of Riverside. Service is okay, and I have had somewhat mixed experiences with that. The employees generally seem pleasant and they're nice, but I have gotten incorrect orders at least a couple of times. During this particular visit, in which the photos are from, I had to ask two different people to get extra napkins. Our actual server was the first to acknowledge, then possibly forgot and didn't come back.

Sometimes I come on weekends for breakfast, and I really enjoy it. The service is great! I usually don't have to wait too long for my things and the people there are super nice. Their filled donuts have the perfect amount of custard or jelly, and their orange juice is the perfect pallet cleanser. There isn't too much to say about the ambiance of the place, but it's overall really welcoming and I would recommend! read more
