By farrrrr the best coffee shop in the inland empire. It's great to see a new coffee shop reminiscent 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 read more

Great new up and coming coffee shop in Riverside! 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 read more

Coffee was great but a bit disappointing on the food I came at 2 pm on a Monday Their menu had checkmarks on them to signify they were available yet none were available and so I got a crepe that was hard and just plain simple only the one on the left has a bite taken out of but otherwise it was kinda hard not soft like if it was just made and im not picky at all but this was a tough crepe Its just a bit disappointing Ambient was nice and music was great but I think this place is more for aesthetics On the way to the restroom There was groceries on the floor outside the bathroom it was kind of gross Bread, tomatoes, I thought I saw ham but not in a refrigerator The trash by the counter was so full when i put my trash in other trash was coming out and I picked it up. read more

This place is so amazing! From the service, to the care in making absolutely phenomenal items. I'll be coming back! We went during their soft opening so while they're finding their stride the owner and staff made the experience great. Hope to try the food on my next visit! Loved the photos on the wall of the owner in the mountains of the farms the beans cone from. Beautiful art too. read more

Cafe Oro Dos Aztecas - Front of the building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I was excited to try this place out due to it being a new coffee shop in downtown Riverside . The coffee shop has a very minimalist feel to it and there were a good amount of people when I arrived . When I was walked in I was greeted right away . I looked over the menu and decided on the iced caffe olla with two pumps of sugar free vanilla . I also got the sausage breakfast sandwich because my boyfriend was raving about it . The drink came out fairly quickly and as far as coffee wise . I felt the coffee tasted okay and it could have been better . It tasted a little watery to me . The breakfast sandwich took a while to come out I want to say about 10 to 15 minutes so if you are in a rush I would avoid this place . But it was worth the wait and is very deletions . But overall the experience was okay . I enjoyed the service and the breakfast sandwich but the coffee could use a bit more work . read more

Not only is the coffee and atmosphere excellent at this place (the Mazapan Latte is a personal favorite!), but I can't say enough nice things about the owner Ricardo. My husband and I first encountered him at Tyler Mall when he had a small pop up and we've been ordering bags of his coffee online since. I'm thrilled to see him open up a storefront, and if you want an example of what a stand up guy he is, a small mix-up happened with my most recent online order and he *personally* delivered it to my house the next day! Please do yourself a favor and support this amazing small business that goes above and beyond for its customers. read more

The newest coffee shop in Riverside is officially here, and I'm glad to see Café Oro Dos Aztecas finally find a permanent home. I've seen them host booths around town before, so it's great to see them settle into their own space right across from the Riverside Convention Center. The shop has a clean, modern feel inside with plenty of space to sit and hang out. What stood out to me right away was that the cashier knew finger spelling, which made communication smooth and easy, that meant a lot. I ordered the Mazapán latte, an almond butter inspired coffee, and it was so good. Sweet, smooth, and flavorful without being overwhelming. They do have Copper Goat two stores down, so there's definitely competition nearby, but honestly, I'll be choosing this spot. Great drinks, welcoming service, and well deserved permanent location. read more

We just tried their cafe de olla & a Mexican mocha! 10/10 service was fast, staff was friendly, but they need to sell a corn tortilla on the side to eat with these egg bites! They also have such beautiful local art to admire! It's cozy and we will be going back! read more

Came for the cafe de olla but unfortunately they don't have all the ingredients yet. Got the iced Mazapan latte instead, and it was delicious. Nutty and sweet but not over bearing. Will come back again if I'm in town read more

I ordered the lychee black tea sweetened and it was good! It had the typical lychee flavor I love in iced drink form basically. The inside of the cafe is very simple but I think it is supposed to have some kind of earthy vibe with some plants, some wooden tables and minimal decor. The seating is spread apart enough to not be in someone's space. I like that they had random books thrown around to read if you wanted. They were very entertaining, like one was about star signs and that was funny to read with my bf to see if we agreed with what the book said about us. I had a fun time, I'd come back. read more

Had a mocha next door at copper and it wasn't even close to as good as cafe oro. Delicious Mexican mocha. Atmosphere better at copper but if taking to go, that doesn't matter. Great place read more

Owner is great and super friendly. Drinks are yummy. And food is delicious. The only thing that makes me hesitant on a higher review is the food takes SO long. We walked in with no line and it took almost 30 minutes for one breakfast sandwich. This isn't the first time we've been here so I wanted to wait to write this to see if anything improved, As good as the food is, the wait doesn't feel worth it. read more

I had no idea this cafe just opened in the beginning of February. It's new and poppin! It's located right on a corner, on Market and Fifth, next to the Marriott hotel. From the outside, it really looks upscale. Inside it was busy! I came on a Saturday afternoon. The cafe theme is Mexican culture. There were art on the walls, I'm assuming Mexican artists and photos of people in the fields. There is also a lot of botany and little sculptures. Customers were standing around waiting for their orders or seated working or chatting. There seemed to be limited seating, but it could be that there was so many people. Their menu is displayed on a sign right where their line starts. They have specialty Mexico coffee, such as Mazapán latte. There was quite a bit of people in line but it moved rapidly. They even have a water station. There was a lot of staff working on orders. The barista was nice and helpful. They were having a limited edition with a matcha speciality with agave. I ordered the mazapán latte. The price was reasonable. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks, about 5 minutes. My drink was delicious! There were bits of mazapán in the drink! I would definitely come back! read more

Came here for a lunch break. Matcha was good, but the avocado toast wasn't very tasty. It also felt a bit overpriced for the portion size.

The spot was really cute. Definitely will be coming back here when visiting this area.

We recently visited Cafe de Oro Azteca and were disappointed with the experience. As coffee enthusiasts, we're familiar with quality coffee, and this visit fell short. My iced coffee had a noticeably bitter taste (about a 2/10), and my wife's hot coffee had an unpleasant aftertaste. Neither drink stood out in a positive way. Service was decent, but when asked about the origin or style of the beans, the barista couldn't answer without checking with someone else. Product knowledge is important in a specialty coffee setting. We understand they may still be new and finding their rhythm, and we hope they take feedback as an opportunity to improve. For now, we likely won't return--but we'd be open to trying again if things improve. read more

Wonderful welcoming service from owner. Located inside the art museum a coffee pop up towards the back. Walk on in and check out the menu. You can use Apple Pay. Serving a house blend of coffee and espresso. There's different roasts available for purchase by the bag. The origin of the beans are shown and the harvest process. Hard work and determination has made this business possible. Check the hours and look for the flags our front. You can park along the sidewalk on the one way street, pick up a coffee and be on your way. Really cool photography and metal sculptures inside as you walk to the coffee cart. read more
