    This is a great spot for some coffee! Ordered their Ethiopian pour over along with a pistachio muffin and both were really good. Coffee was fragrant and the pastry was fluffy with delicious pistachio filling. Service was helpful in going over suggestions and giving us our order. The cafe is clean and nicely decorated, one of the tables had a chess board that me and my wife enjoyed. It's great to see an amazing coffee spot in Downtown Riverside!

    Right at the edge of DTR and next to the convention center, it's easy to spot. There's multiple businesses and eateries next to it, under an archway. The cafe has huge floor to ceiling windows and inside, it feels light and breezy. It is has a modern, contemporary design while having a uniqueness. There were a couple people inside drinking and socializing, not busy. I came an hour before closing. I got in line and waited. The barista was busy and hadn't noticed me. She apologized to me once she saw I had been waiting but I didn't mind. I ordered a dragon fruit matcha. I asked if it was only seasonal and she said yes. She recommended me the mini bomboloni cocao, which she said were like the Ferrero chocolates. I ordered those as well. I didn't wait too long for my drink. The barista asked me if it was fine and asked if I needed it customized. I said, it tastes good. The foam tasted almost like a strawberry and the matcha was decent. My pastry was still being toasted. Once I had it, I saw it was like a chocolate filled bread bite. Very good! Happy with my experience and I would definitely come back again!

    This place was so classy and cozy. I loved their seating and the service. The staff was well knowledgeable on their pastries and coffee and took their time with my order. I came in for their cherry affogato but it was not available so they offered me a pistachio affogato , and I love pistachio, so this was a perfect alternative for me. They even let me keep my glass cup which was real nice of them . The seating area has two areas and it feels very relaxed. There was no restroom though.

    Anytime I'm in Downtown Riverside, my first stop is always Copper Goat. Their coffee is just consistently good. I usually stick with my go to, sweet shaken espresso (still fantastic, by the way), but this time I branched out and tried one of their new featured drinks. I went with the salted honey macadamia latte, and it was definitely interesting in the best way. It hits that sweet and salty balance, and the saltiness grew on me with each sip. My flavor profile usually leans sweet when it comes to espresso, so if you're someone who loves a little salty contrast, this one's worth trying. We also grabbed some mini bomboloni cream pastries, which we were told were imported from Italy, and they were delicious. They reminded me a bit of beignets, and the cream filling was fantastic. I did get a cronut too, but that one missed the mark for me. It was a little stale and harder than expected. I was hoping for that crispy, flaky bite. Overall, Copper Goat is still one of my favorite stops in the area, especially for coffee.

    Vanilla Latte
    Stacy S.

    Great service & got some coffee knowledge by barista Rockee (forgive me if I spelled that wrong.) They were super helpful & I walked out with some amazing coffee on top of that. Will definitely be returning. I ordered a vanilla latte with a carrot cake bar & it was delicious. As a new coffee drinker I would say this set the bar for me as I prefer a less sweeter coffee & it was just right. "I will be back!" -Terminator

    Ice coffee

    I came on my lunch break at 5pm while they were cleaning. Didnt see the closed sign on the floor they politely said they were closed at 4pm and even gave me a free ice coffee for the confusion. Best people best coffee place. So nice and clean. This really warmed my heart today.

    carrot cake and hot maple bourbon vanilla cinnamon latte
    Timmy S.

    This coffee shop is located a block away from Riverside's Mission Inn, on Main Street, within a cove of several shops known as the Emporium. The interior has several tables along the front window and a couple of cushy chairs near the entrance. There are additional tables located just outside the entrance, within the covered area of the Emporium. It's a quiet and comfortable space. I ordered a coffee from their house specialities - a hot maple bourbon vanilla cinnamon latte. I also chose a slice of carrot cake from their small pastry case. The woman taking my order seemed rather glum while the barista was quite pleasant and kind, bringing my order to the comfy chair I was snuggled into (normally they just call your name to pick up at the counter). The carrot cake was very good; moist with an icing that wasn't overly sweet. The espresso was sweetened by the maple and a slight taste of vanilla was discernible. I couldn't detect any bourbon flavor though. I think it got lost amidst all the other flavors; I wondered if perhaps they used bourbon-maple syrup? The light taste of cinnamon was within the foam. It may sound like I had issues with the latte, but on the contrary, I really enjoyed it as it was quite unique.

    I got an iced chai and love that I could add vanilla to it and switch for oat milk with no extra charge! Super nice environment and employee was very sweet.

    Seasonal Affogato

    The affogato was super yummy and the cherries made this experience very unique ! 10/10

    Dragon fruit matcha, sweet shaken espresso with oat milk, lemon bar, cannoli chips and dip
    Laura L.

    The ambience is bright and welcoming. The service was personal and friendly. We ordered a dragon fruit matcha, sweet shaken espresso, lemon bar, and cannoli chips and dip. The matcha was not overly sweet and the cold foam was fun. The espresso had perfect coffee flavor and was not too sweet. The lemon bar was perfect. And I would drive back out here for the cannoli chips alone. I'm so happy we stumbled upon this coffee shop!!

    OMG I love this place...the iced pistachio latte is so freaking good...I was afraid to try something besides the Salted Honey Macadamia Nut Latte because it's been consistently delicious....but so glad I did...I cannot wait to try the maple bourbon or the shaken espresso...

    Iced Honey Lavender Latte
    Nicole R.

    Amazing service and yummy coffee! I went to Copper Goat today because I love trying out coffee places. Copper Goat did not disappoint. My Iced Honey Lavender Latte was amazing (finished with locally sourced honey) and the owner Ruby was very sweet and lovely. Its a beautiful space. Check it out!

    Salted Vanilla Latte
    Tiffany T.

    I tried the iced salted vanilla latte. Coffee was flavorful, but a little too milky for my liking. I would try it again, but next time with an extra shot of espresso. The cafe was clean and had plenty of seating options. They had one worker who was very nice, but felt like she needed someone else with her for safety reasons.

    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.

You are such a good coffee shop with reasonable prices considering the consistent quality of your drinks and yet you're shady. Only the pastry items are posted for some reason but none of the drink items or other food items have prices posted next to them. Should I ask the barista what the price of every item on the menu is and write it down on the menu myself? If the line is long and you want to know how much an item is you can't! You will just have to go in line and waste your time if you don't get the item after all. In what world is that normal or reasonable. I hate it here. (capitalism not the ambiance of the coffee shop, it really is quite lovely) Also different rant on the drink I ordered today. IF YOU OFFER A CINNAMON ROLL LATTE THEN D O N ' T MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE TOPPING AN EXTRA CHARGE. Have you ever seen a cinnamon roll in the wild being priced that way? Whoever came up with that you're wicked and evil. I hope you never have a good cinnamon roll ever again, unless!* your heart suddenly grows three sizes and you take it all back and post your prices like a normal business and don't price things stupid. BTW You could have literally done a snickerdoodle cookie latte and then you don't have to charge someone for a creamy topper that should be included in the price of the drink. Yk if you wanted to maintain the cinnamon essence of the drink.

I had drank a nice and chilled Space Dust IPA from the tap and my partner had a Blue Moon. I was very delighted by their glazed donuts which were massive! For $6, it was bigger than our faces; I'm guessing x3 the size of a regular donut. I enjoyed it because it was sweet, doughy, and perfectly glazed. A twist of a donut shop, but for their variety of drinks, I don't mind it! Loved the experience. Thank you for having us!
