Service was okay ,it's hot i get it we won't have the best attuide in the heat. Ambiance was very laid back and a great place to catch up w friends etc. I got to witness a fight in the parking lot lol.

    I found this place a few weeks ago and was impressed with coffee and the loaded breakfast burrito…read more I came back again today hoping that they could duplicate the quality and quantity of both. They did. Ordered the loaded burrito with sausage and bacon. It was in fact loaded. There was not a single bite that did not have sausage, bacon, crispy potato, cheese, avocado, AND sour cream. Wrapped all nice and pretty like a burrito present. You literally cannot go wrong with this breakfast burrito. The salsas are good. Green has a little kick to it in spice and tanginess. Red is really mild, almost like a pico. Ordered the Morenita with 2 added shots of espresso (yes, I'm a caffeine addict, lol!). It was delicious, the espresso was rich and flavorful. I have a feeling that every time I come here in the future, my order will stay exactly the same. Keep in mind, the food is made fresh to order, so you can wait for a minute especially if there is a few people already enjoying this place. The inside is a nice little set up, but I always enjoy sitting outside. Highly recommend this place.

    They also have a cute little section to buy from. I bought some shot glasses & a heart mug. Pricing on those are pretty reasonable as well.

    This cafe is in DTR, right across from the Mission Inn hotel. It is also right next to the Mission…read moreGalleria, an antique shop. Parking can be a little tricky, since there is only street parking available. Molino's shares an entryway with the Hideaway, which is a lounge. Inside Molino's, the interior looks rustic, with brick walls and a huge window. There is a couple of tables, with people at work. At the front, is the coffee bar. There have the menu on a chalkboard and a smaller sign with the specials on a small table. There was only one worker and she had greeted me when I came in and to let her know if I needed anything. I saw they have a pastry shelf of muffins. I ordered the 12oz iced horchata latte. They have multiple sizes. Once I received it, I did taste some horchata, not much. It was still good though. When I went to the restroom, I saw that Molino's was connected to the Mission Galleria! I had no idea!

    So if you get a large ceremonial matcha with cold foam, expect to pay $14.00 each. Two matchas with…read morecold foam? $28... The coffee shop itself is perfect for downtown Riverside--very fitting with the vibe and style. The lady working was very friendly. However, the menu is extremely busy, and you practically need a key to understand what's what or even how to order. Once we ordered, I noticed the ceremonial matcha is made with a handheld electric frother, and the cold foams are premade in jars and simply added on top (not made fresh). When we received our matchas, let's just say it tasted exactly like it looked: mostly milk with very little matcha flavor, topped with subpar cold foam. This is by far the most expensive, worst-tasting matcha I've ever had. I can usually find a way to justify things or give a place some grace, but this was beyond help.

    Coffeecito House is really a house. A coffee cafe in a two-story Victorian house on a side street…read morenear downtown Riverside. I had time to kill before a meeting so I stopped here for some coffee and a snack. There are tables and chairs on both floors plus some comfy seating upstairs and several tables outside in the yard area. I ordered a hot Catalana Latte (infused with caramel, vanilla, and a hint of blood orange) plus a couple selections from their tempting pastry case - a cinnamon roll and a lemon twist. As an aside, they also have some lunch items like empanadas. I sat at a window counter that looked out into the yard. The latte was fantastic with both caramel and vanilla flavors present and with some sips I had that hint of citrus. The lemon twist was delicious with a light lemon flavor while the warmed cinnamon roll, like all the best ones, got more cinnamony and moist as I got to the center and the frosting was at a perfect medium-sweetness. I still had a half full cup of my large latte after finishing my pastries so I went upstairs and sat on the couch for a while, staring out the window while checking emails. This is a very comfortable place to hang out!

I tried the hot 'Dulce De Leche' (espresso, vanilla, and condensed milk). It was perfectly balanced, smooth, and simply enjoyable. I also paired it with a warm cinnamon pecan crisp mini roll, which was excellent. Customer service was great, every staff member was friendly. The two floors of seating are clean, cozy, and inviting. Upstairs is perfect for studying or getting work done. There's also outdoor seating. As a first-timer, I was impressed. I will definitely be back to try more of their specialty coffee and their Chorizo Burrito next! Parking Tips: * Street parking is free all day on weekends and after 7PM weekdays. * Meters run Mon-Fri from 8AM to 7PM. * Free, unmetered spots are available further down the residential block (just watch for permit signs). * Paid lots are also nearby for weekday visits.
