I love love this shop…read more The coffee is so incredibly amazing. Not your super sugar filled every corner coffee. It's genuine flavor filled coffee, made much like Ive had throughout the Mediterranean. Each sip is delectable, making you feel genuinely good about the experience. The staff is kind and helpful.

Had the opportunity to check out this fairly new coffee shop (I believe it's been around for a…read morelittle over a year) and I found myself here for a caffeine fix. The space is wide open and has plenty of natural lighting. I really enjoyed just how many tables they had for folks to work at. I noticed a bit of college students here so I figured it must be in close proximity to an institution. The music here is more background but ties into the owner's personal beliefs and is Christian-forward music. It was light and honestly not distracting at all. I really enjoyed looking at all the baked goods and they were made by the owner's mom which is so impressive. Stray Dogs has a rotating seasonal menu and I enjoyed their food and beverages. i must say my personal fave was their bear pops.

Amazing drink selections. I ordered the greyhound. I love that their lattes are not watered down…read more You can still taste the coffee. Will definitely make it a goal to try most of their coffees. Second round: I ordered Corndog latte. A step sweeter fr the greyhound but it's one of those flavors that make you smile. It works sooo well.

Looking for a new coffee spot in Jurupa Valley besides PotHead, I stumbled across FlowerBud Coffee…read moreand I'm so glad I did! It was a rainy day and my husband and I were craving something warm, so we went with hot drinks. He ordered a vanilla latte, and I chose a pumpkin spice latte from their seasonal menu. Both were delicious! I also grabbed a gingerbread pastry, which was so good. The shop itself is clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, I especially loved all the plants! They offer both indoor seating and a spacious outdoor area. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back!

I will say I love the decoration, and what they are trying to go for, however I don't know if I…read moreabsolutely love it. This was my first visit and I feel the experience was average, considering I did make quite a drive to visit. Service isn't super friendly, they have a lot of menu options and I'm not sure if it works against them when it comes time to order. I feel as though staff doesn't know the menu and operating system well enough, and it leaves a lot of room for error. I ordered two banana matchas with added expresso, one had a double shot and the other with a single shot. I added banana cold foam to one, and their cookie cold foam to another. The person at the register added one drink as a custom and the second drink as their lotus drink. Anyways, after waiting for the drinks it came out incorrectly. One matcha had cookie crumbles on it with no expresso, and the other drink had more expresso than it was supposed to have. No big deal, they did work on immediately remaking my drinks. Drinks came out looking right! Until I had a sip of my coffee in the car and it was not banana matcha :/ It was just a regular matcha with cookie crumbles on top. Additionally, i paid about $21 for two drinks and it was very HEAVILY iced. I will say, the cream is very good. It's made more on the thick side, which I do prefer. I hate when the cream just seems into the drink like how it does at Starbucks 50% of the time. Ambiance was great, the coffee shop was super cute, and in general a great addition to this area of the IE. Service was okay, and I would give it another chance considering they are a small coffee shop with a great offer, just some things that can be refined to make it a truly great experience! Definitely recommend but make sure to have your order repeated if it has substitutions and request less ice because they do go heavy on it here.

The flavor has this sweet, comforting vibe that immediately brought me back to childhood. Love the addition of the lucky charms marshmallows on top as well. I've been coming to Kraemer's for about a decade now, and it still has that familiar, cozy feel every time I walk in. Even as they've grown and added more staff over the years, the service has stayed warm and genuinely friendly. You can tell the people working here care about what they're doing, and that consistency is a big part of why I keep coming back. It does get busy, especially in the mornings. I've seen the line reach the door more than once, but they move quickly and keep things flowing. Even on the crowded days, I'm usually in and out faster than I expect, which I really appreciate. Their signature lattes usually land around seven to eight dollars. It's a little on the higher side, but I love trying their specialty drinks, and I'm always happy to support a local spot that puts real effort into what they serve.

Riverside is severely lacking in terms of quality breakfast and lunch places, which leaves…read moreKraemer's as the only "decent" spot around us which isn't saying much. First off, some staff have very poor attitudes and the female owner is included in that assessment. If it is even a millisecond past 11am, you will not have the option to order breakfast. There is absolutely zero exceptions even if you arrived before 11am and waited in line for over 15 minutes because it takes an absurd amount of time for customers to be rang up at the cash register. If you order a panini and are expecting anything that should come standard when you order said food item, you will be absolutely shocked at what Kraemer's defines a panini as. You'll get toast with room temperature cheese and ham. Nothing is melted whatsoever. It's actually laughable that they served something like this to us. They also use Torani syrups -- not homemade. The coffee is also extremely sub par. I can say with confidence that I'll never ever come back here and I suggest you don't waste your time or money here either.

I ordered a hot fig latte and it was honestly incredible. You can tell they really care about their craft--the espresso shot was smooth and rich, and the flavor of the fig was perfectly balanced, not too sweet but still super satisfying. The fact that they make all their syrups in-house really shows in the quality. I loved it so much I ended up buying a bag of their coffee beans to take home, which says a lot. The location is great, the ambiance is on point, and the coffee is genuinely some of the best I've had in a while.

My only gripe is the limited parking but it's definitely worth the walk.

By farrrrr the best coffee shop in the inland empire. It's great to see a new coffee shop…read morereminiscent of early coffee shop culture, great music, good seating, outlets and WiFi. I visit about 3-5 coffee shops a week and this one is so great. The vibe inside, the flavors, service, and prices are all 10/10. FLAVORS I have tried almost every specialty coffee in their menu, and they're all delicious. In specific I love their mazapán and Mexican mocha. Not too overpowering like some of the more established coffee shops in the IE and not too sweet like many of the boutique coffee shops or home based bars. If you're looking for over the top drinks, this may not be the place, but if you're looking for great basic flavors this is the place. The crepes are a perfect size and very delicious SERVICE Very friendly, electrical outlets, water station in the front. The owner seems to be very welcoming as he's always greeting customers. A lot of times owners stay in the back, but he even has his business cards out in the front. VIBE THIS. This is my favorite part. As someone who works from home, I always look for local coffee shops, but often find the space too loud, uncomfortable seating or the space not very welcoming. Here the music is 10/10, not just mellow basic music but some Spanish classics that I haven't heard in years. The windows make it a vibrant yet calm space. They also have a variety of tables and window seating and couches, which I truly haven't seen in many other shops. And nothing beats being in downtown Riverside. Congrats team this is truly a gem

Great new up and coming coffee shop in Riverside!…read more I've been here twice and both times I've got the marzapan latte. I enjoy its unique flavor, not too sweet. It is somewhat chunky similar to if you've ever gotten a peanut butter latte before however it's not too noticeable and you can get an extra whisked if it bothers you. I will look forward to coming back to try their specialty coffees and also their pastries since they were mostly out when I visited. They use Monin syrups and have alternative milk options available - See the menu. The ambience is great. Music is not too loud seating available for large group groups and plenty of outlets. However, I think there is room to expand the amount of tables especially given the amount of outlets. This could be a great place to study or work, especially if you live within walking distance and wouldn't have to worry about parking. Located between the Mission Inn and the Riverside convention center in downtown options for parking include street parking or parking in any of the downtown Riverside lots. On Saturdays and Sundays parking is free. On weekdays the first 30 minutes is free and otherwise paid by app. I'd recommend parking in lot 52 on orange and fifth if you don't want to fight for street parking. They do have a restroom located in the back just ask the staff. Hours are 7 AM to 7 PM every day. Wi-Fi available

Sweet lattes were delicious, the sweet snacks were tasty, and even the staff were very sweet! The…read moreladies who helped us were knowledgeable, patient, friendly, accommodating, honestly just super cool people. Sweet Latte with orange blossom and vanilla bean syrups: 5/5. I originally wanted to try just the orange blossom syrup, but the baristas suggested that vanilla bean syrup be added to tone down the potency of the orange blossom syrup while complementing it at the same time. This was a great rec since it was an enjoyable combo that didn't lose flavor after all the ice was diluted. Chocolate Chip Cookie: 5/5. A satisfying cookie that tasted better than it looks. I say this cuz I didn't see chocolate chips or chunks breaking through the dough, and the dough color was pretty pale, but looks can be deceiving, as this was a yummy treat. S'mores Brownie: 4/5. Super sweet and chocolatey and fudgy. Kinda sticky and messy due to the marshmallow topping and high sugar content, but they provide utensils for easy eating. Parking in the attached lot was quite small and cramped, but apparently there was additional parking behind the plaza. The shop was also a bit small, but some seating was available both inside and outside the shop.

As a once upon a time barista and someone who has nailed the perfect at home latte, I have a really hard time paying even $6 for a latte anymore at some of these places, so imagine my shock when I ordered their chocolate truffle latte on Valentine's Day and it was over $8 $9.43 after a $1 tip to be exact. BUT - at least it was really good! More than I can say for a lot of Twee's competitors who charge an arm and a leg and still don't deliver a quality drink! That being said - $9 good? No, I don't think any coffee is $9 good lol All of that aside - they do know what they are doing here! No bitter espresso, flavors are always balanced and their regular beverages are comparable price-wise to other shops but with superior taste to many of them! Top 3 local shops for sure. As far as the space, the ambiance it cute but it is small inside so if you come at a busier time you may not find a spot to sit and chill and you definitely won't find a spot to have private conversation. There's no real patio but they do what they can and set up as many tables and chairs outside as they can so you might be able to snag one of those.
