Beautiful ambience, kind and quick service, delicious coffee! I got the pistachio latte, which I…read morewas expecting to only have a pistachio syrup/milk; I was pleasantly surprised to taste a delicious pistachio spread at the bottom of the coffee. It was so silky, nutty, and sweet. The actual roast was amazing, too. My only qualm is the steep price point. This place definitely is somewhere where I'd go to treat myself rather than as a daily coffee. It was ~$9 (an extra dollar for oat milk substitute, which honestly still bothers me that so many coffee places do that haha). HOWEVER...the price definitely represents the level of quality and care in the product. I will definitely be back. I look forward to trying a pastry next!

The matcha was a 3/5 for me. It was definitely missing that strong, earthy matcha flavor I usually…read morelook for, and there was honestly nothing particularly special or memorable about it. To be fair, Qamaria is a Yemeni coffee shop, so I probably shouldn't have gone in expecting the matcha to be the star of the menu. Just a heads-up for any other matcha girlies coming specifically for that. That being said, $9 for a matcha is actually insane. At that price point, I'm expecting something that really stands out, and this just didn't for me. I've also tried the brown sugar shaken espresso (4/5), which was definitely on the sweeter side but still pretty good. But again... around $9 for a coffee is kind of wild. One thing I will absolutely give them though: the service is amazing. Everyone I've interacted with has been super kind, welcoming, and attentive, which honestly makes the experience a lot better. The price tag still knocks a star off for me, and another downside is that the music always seems to be SO loud. I like a lively coffee shop, but sometimes it feels like I have to yell just to have a conversation. Overall, the drinks aren't bad, and the service is genuinely great, but between the prices and the matcha being pretty average, I personally don't really get the hype. I'd probably stick to what they're known for rather than coming here specifically for matcha.

I also tried the sausage croissant and will pass on this next time. Service was friendly and quick even though the place was packed.

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.

Parking wasn't too bad, and it was an easy walk from the parking lot or nearby side streets. To get inside, you walk through a cute little plaza with other shops and restaurants, which makes the location feel a little tucked away. Once we got inside, the baristas were super welcoming and took the time to walk us through the shop before we ordered. I really appreciated how they explained the way they carefully source and roast their coffee beans to bring out the best flavors. We ordered a shaken espresso and a vanilla latte, and both were fantastic! The espresso was incredibly smooth, and neither drink was overly sweet, so you could actually taste the espresso instead of it being covered up by syrup. There was also plenty of seating, which was a nice plus. Overall, great coffee, friendly service, and a really nice atmosphere!

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.

I would like to start off by saying this place is really cute. There was plenty of tables available…read moreand they have an upstairs area as well. Thankfully downstairs had tables. They also had a bathroom and it was really clean. Parking was a little hard since it's street parking and I don't want to pay for parking just to have some coffee. I would come here to do some work if I have to. Now let's get into the coffee and food. I had the mazapan latte & it was ok. I do like that it was strong but if I'm getting mazapan, I would expect some sort of sweetness which I didn't get from the coffee. I also had a churro muffin. It was good. Just wish it was given to me warm. However, that could have been my fault if they asked. I probably just didn't hear the cashier. That being said, I would come to try them out again.

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!

Chai Latte I would give a 4 stars out of a 5 star. We all got breakfast sandwiches that were good.

So that's as authentic you can get. We would go back and check other items on the menu. Recommend this new find ya'll.
