Cafe is such a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, the whole place just feels like a vibe--plants everywhere, good music playing, and a super inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. 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. read more

Condron Coffee - Outside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I want to love this place, never disappointed in the lavender matcha and their pastries but their customer service needs major help. I've seen way too many different employees over time, makes me wonder why. This morning I ordered my usual and the barista said 'Oh One of Those.' What does that mean?!! How about Have a great Friday, hope to see you again soon. I've been in customer service for over 40 years from banking to front office of an elementary school. Simple clean little coffee house, indoor and outdoor seating. read more

April 2026 I came here on a Saturday morning to get some work done. This place gets packed!!!!! The workers are super cool and friendly. If you're into 90s music, The Smiths and Radiohead this is the place to go. Parking can be challenging, because there's a nearby Pilates studio. Other than that, seems like the matcha lattes with their various foams are a hit here. I stuck with the ice americano each time. I loved this place and drove 20 mins from my place to have coffee here every weekend. Enjoy! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with my daughter for a drink to go. She ordered the Ube Latte and I had the Cinnamon Brown Sugar Latte with Oat Milk. I would have gone in to the shop but had trouble finding parking so she ran out to get our drinks. Service was quick and we didn't have to wait long at all. I enjoyed my Cinnamon Brown Sugar Latte. It was tasty and refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness. Her Ube Latte was pretty enough, but the Ube flavor was so subtle that it was practically non existent. I would come again if I was in the neighborhood but I would not go out of my way. read more

Idk why I never stopped by this place before! I am now obsessed with their matcha. I found them on social media on 2/28 and saw they were releasing a Banana bread matcha for March so you know I had to stop by and see for myself. First off they are so nice in there. It seems to be a popular spot but very relaxing and calm atmosphere. The staff who helped me with my order were so friendly and I almost forgot to ask for almond milk but they literally asked me while I was ordering which I've never experienced elsewhere! They also just released a new brown butter cold foam so I added that to my order as well. The matcha was perfect with the foam, not too sweet but also not too earthy and honestly reminded me of caramelized plantains which I love. I've now been there 2 days in a row and I'll definitely be back tomorrow. (Pray for my wallet lol) read more

Condron Coffee - Banana Bread Matcha w/ Brown Butter Cold Foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I was looking for somewhere I could get a pour over coffee and maybe do a couple of tasks on my laptop, and this place came up on Google maps. I got here just before 9am on a Saturday and there were some people, but it was not busy. I got my pour over. There were two options, a Sumatra origin coffee and the Perseus coffee, which I tried and is pictured. The coffee was nice to drink but not anything out of the ordinary. I might try a different coffee next time. However, I wanted to write this review since I enjoyed the vibe of this place so much. There's plenty of seating - even though there was a steady stream of people the whole time I was here (about an hour), it never got full. It's also very kid friendly here, in a nice way. Some kids ended up with new Pokemon cards : ) It just felt like a friendly space to be. I would definitely come back just for the environment and try another drink. read more

Another gem in Riverside by the Riverside Plaza This is the exact reason why we all should support small business. Aside from their coffee way concocted better than the corporate and franchise coffee houses this place is unique. While the outside isn't assuming when you open the door, you're welcomed with a warm clean and beautiful atmosphere of the establishment. My latte was made with love and care. I will frequent this place now and I'm so happy I stumbled upon this gem. read more

Condron is a vibey and chill coffee spot close to lots of thrift stores and the major shopping and food in Riverside Plaza. I love coming here with friends before we hit the thrifts. It's also a popular study spot and while there is plenty of seating it can be a little difficult to come by, especially if you're in a group. It also seems that dogs are allowed inside! There is one bathroom and parking is usually ample. On to the actual beverages, I love that they serve kombucha here, but I usually order a matcha or iced latte. If you are looking for vegan or non dairy options, the iced matcha with oat milk and either lavender, agave, or vanilla syrup is quite solid. Service has always been solid as well! I will say I wish they didn't upcharge for nondairy, especially since many other coffee shops have stopped doing that. read more

Condron Coffee - Agave Matcha with Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

This coffee shop wasn't busy at all when I came on a Wednesday night, just a few people studying. It was clean and workers were nice and gave good suggestions. I got a matcha with vanilla cold foam. I was told matcha was on the lighter side so I got extra matcha. The matcha wasn't my favorite, it tased a bit sour. I wouldn't come back for the matcha but I'd give their coffee a chance. They have limited parking in the front and more in the back. They have one restroom inside. On Google it says they close at 6pm on Wednesdays but the hours posted outside was 6am-8pm. The time on Yelp is correct. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get matcha in town, it's perfectly balanced. Love getting to try their seasonal drinks, their syrups are always so good, they are usually sweet so I sometimes ask for 1/2 sweet! read more

Their matchas are good, not so much when it comes to coffee. 3-4 times I have been to this shop, there are circumstances where the cashier acted like my card is going to decline and I'm going to rob the store. The cinnamon bun looks good but is dry on the inside. read more

Another swing and a miss for me at this coffee joint. So this place was really really busy when we tried it around 12:30 on a Tuesday. All the seats/tables inside were filled with college aged persons with their laptops - as a late 30s female I felt out of place. Loud music coming from the overhead speakers making it hard to hear while sitting inside. Very straight to the point menu is on the wall behind the baristas, and a small pastry display is by the register. Barista at the register was neither friendly nor off putting, she was just there, if that makes sense? Took my order, asked the milk/sweetener questions, the end. My friend saw a book on one of the decorative shelves and took it to the register to pay, sooo funny but they gave it to my friend for free, said it was just decor! I thought that was hilarious. I got the matcha with regular vanilla sweetener and whole milk. It was decent but nothing to write home about. My friend got an iced peach tea- I included a picture - it was so watered down they should have just charged it as a water. So for the college people and younger people I definitely thinks this would be the spot but for anyone older maybe got to Kraemers read more

Great Place!!! A lot of people in the shop. Great place to do your work. People there are super nice and are very helpful with the knowledge of the menu.

Came in around 1ish a little after lunch. Got greeted right away. Staff were friendly and so welcoming. It was a little busy and their system was down, so there was a little rush but honestly the staff weren't rude or impatient about the whole situation. Super clean and spacious great for studying or a cute little hang out. Anyways. Coffee was great. Had a cold brew with cold foam. Ooo and their pesto scone is to die for. read more

The coffee is good. It was consistent too. That matters - good once v. every time. The chairs are flimsy and the table legs are awkwardly pinchy, but the natural light in the big windows distracts from that. read more

My go to spot for a nice cafe to sits at. Whether it was doing assignments for class or just planning my week I always came inside for an iced matcha with agave. The friendly staff are the cherry on top for making this place a true cafe. 10/10 would come again read more

This was my first time trying this coffee shop highly recommended by a friend and it deserved the recognition. This coffee place is a very cute, artsy vibe that is a perfect place to study or meet up with friends to catch up! The staff was very friendly, accommodating, had great suggestions, and was very efficient (especially working by herself). There is sufficient street parking easily accessible around the coffee shop for a stress-free environment. The matcha tasted very rich and you can tell the powder is high quality because it did not taste watered down or not authentic. The ube addition as a sweetener was the perfect suggestion given by the server and I felt that both tastes complimented one another. I am definitely looking forward to coming back here to get more matcha! read more

This coffee shop is very cute! I liked their ambiance and how they have ample seating to increase their accessibility to students in the area. Service was quite helpful with explaining their menu options. I personally felt that their matcha drinks were ok and the syrups were quite muted in flavor. I do note that their menu offers a lot of options, so i would come back to try their other stuff! read more

Loved this place!! I was traveling for work and needed a place to sit with my laptop and grab a bite to eat. Could not recommend this location more.

I really enjoy the coffee here, but the atmosphere is hit or miss. Half of the employees are so kind and sweet, the other half are so rude & act like they're too good for you and to be helping you. It's a literal gamble what experience it'll be each time. read more

CONDRONNN !!! A great place to study: plenty of tables & outlets; does get filled pretty quick, but doesn't take too long for a table to open up. The perfect spot for a quick lunch / rush stop: hands down & consistently the quickest coffee shop in my rotation. Plenty of parking, friendly staff, clean-modern aesthetic, lots of merch & solid drinks--esp. their seasonal espresso tonics. read more

This coffee house has an upscale, yet laid back vibe to it. On this midmorning week day, it was nearly full. The vast majority of the customers were buried into their laptops. The baristas were quick. The menu, see pic, is fairly limited to drinks. We had our coffee and enjoyed the peacefulness before our next stop. I have a pic of one of their table toppers. On a slow day, this may be fun to try one of their other table toppers. read more

Drinks 10/10! Great service. Limited seating, small inside, lots of ppl working from their laptop.

I actually really like how cozy it feels and though it does get busy I like coming here for the vibes the coffee is absolutely delicious

They have the best lattes in Riverside. Also today when I went in, my card was declined because I had a fraudulent charge on it the night before. And when I was scrambling for another form of Payment, they said that the coffee is on the house. I couldn't believe the kindness! read more

If you're looking for a strong cup of coffee to wake you up and fuel your soul... keep walking. I ordered a coffee at Café Cordons, and what I got was basically a warm hug from a gallon of milk with a whisper of coffee hiding somewhere in the back. I'm not sure if they ran out of espresso or just got lost on the way to the coffee machine, but my drink tasted like someone shouted the word "coffee" into a jug of milk and handed it to me. I've had cereal milk with more caffeine. It should be called a cordon of milk, not a coffee. Honestly, I left more tired than I came in. If you like your coffee with 95% milk and 5% disappointment, this is the place for you read more

Terrible customer service you will be waiting there for 5 minutes as they make drinks in your face.

Absolutely love Condron. Always get nice cashiers. Matcha is great. I haven't tried the food yet I'm always too late or too early. I'm sure it's great though! read more

I ordered two different iced lattes and unfortunately they both tasted very watered down.

I went on a Saturday afternoon. All the tables were taken with people on laptops, however, the line wasn't long at all and the person at the register was enthusiastic and nice. I saw in some reviews there were vegan pastries. The guy said they used to have vegan donuts but not anymore.. The pastry case options looked good though.. not your average pastry. It's a small place. Busy. I came here for the vegan pastries and espresso/tonic.. Got the espresso tonic Parked on the street-- time limit on street signs. read more

I ordered the Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte and wasn't a fan. It was too watered down for my taste. I tried my sister's drink, the Iced Raspberry Latte and loved that one. I believe it was a seasonal drink. I was afraid the raspberry would be too overpowering but it was the perfect addition. I recommend that drink if it's still available. It's not pictured, but I also got a regular Iced Vanilla Latte after. It was fine. The baristas were quick and attentive. The space was clean and cutely decorated. Sunday afternoons are packed with college students studying. It was hard to find a seat outside or inside. We got a table near the cashier but it was very cramped and too close for my liking. I would come back on a different day to see what the crowd is like and to try another seasonal drink. read more
