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

Tried Condron Coffee for the first time and had mixed feelings about it. Pros-clean open space, and friendly and happy service. Cons-my guest and I ordered iced coffees and they were out of plastic cups, so it was served in a paper cup. I ordered a Raspberry Mocha with an extra shot, and it was good but not great. Pastries were no where to be seen when we went that morning, so I wasn't able to try anything else. I still have a few more coffee spots to try, in the area, and I doubt I'd come back here. read more

I was a regular customer here from the day this coffee shop opened. After moving out of state, I recently drove an extra hour out of my way to meet a friend here because I always enjoyed this place. We purchased several drinks and were sitting inside when the manager asked us to move outside because my toddler was being loud. While I understand he may have been disruptive, he wasn't running around or causing damage. What disappointed me was the manager's unfriendly approach. We moved outside as requested, but all the tables were in direct sunlight, which wasn't practical since I had my newborn with me. After going out of my way to visit a place I had supported for years, I left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

Food 7.5/10 Matcha flavor wasn't as strong in flavor or as rich as I would like, but the ube flavor was surprisingly strong and pretty good. It's hard to find many quality matcha drinks or Asian flavors in Riverside, but Condron surpassed my expectation. Ambiance 7.5/10 Cafe was clean and nicely decorated. The area surrounding the cafe seemed a tad sketch. I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit, but would return if I were back in the area! read more

Condron Coffee - Ube Matcha - 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

Honestly, probably the best matcha i've had in Riverside. But that's not saying much since I've notoriously had bad luck with matcha in riv. The strawberry matcha was a little too sweet and not matcha-y enough for me. Interior is super cute and has lots of tables to work at. The left wall is the only one with outlets though. 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

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

Breakfast burrito Hot guacamole was an atrocity. The burrito was toasted all around, which made the guac hot...and it was terrible. I recommend asking for it on the side if you ever decide to order this. The price was good, but not worth the experience... criminal! I knew something was afoot when it was served with a slice of lemon 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

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

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

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

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

We had a great experience at Condren Coffee today! Grace was our barista, and she was an absolute rockstar. She was incredibly engaging, took the time to make recommendations, and genuinely made our visit more enjoyable. The coffee was excellent, and Grace's customer service took the experience to another level. It's rare to find someone who is so welcoming and passionate about what they do. We'll definitely be back. Thanks, Grace, for making our morning a great one! Love Summer and Cory!!! 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

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. It's good to go to a place where people know their menu and product and aren't afraid to share their opinion. The place is very quaint and has that local business vibe. read more

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

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

I love exploring coffee shops and decided to try this one. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, but it didn't quite hit the mark. The color was very light, and it tasted more like milk than coffee... almost like it was missing a proper espresso shot. It just wasn't what I expected, so I'm not sure I'd return. read more

Really good anted this to be good but unfortunately my coffee wasn't it Customer service though very good I got a brown sugar iced latte asked for it extra sweet It was a bit bitter and not sweet at all They do have a great space indoor lots of people inside working or studying May give another try $6 not bad for a drink Hopefully next time will be better No cash only credit 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

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 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

The staff was very friendly. Ordered the ube matcha and the matcha was made in batches but they will hand whisk matcha for certain customers. My friend ordered the lemonade and they poured it straight from a Kirkland bottle, I didn't expect fresh lemonade just something to be aware of. I also noticed they use their hands to guide the ice cubes into the cups, it's not the most hygienic as they are touching the ice cubes with their hands. read more

This a great spot if you need place to do some work. A lot of people come here to study so it's usually busy during the day. Parking is usually not a problem because there's a lot of space on the street and behind the building. 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
