Love this coffee shop. New to the coffee scene as I wasn't ever really into coffee but now that I drink it more than ever I prefer shops like this. Family owned not franchise. I order the dulce de leche iced latte & it's so good. I also tried their mango hibiscus lemonade so delicious. From their food items I've had their breakfast, sausage & cheddar sandwich, ham & cheese jalapeño croissant, French toast sausage sandwich & oatmeal cookie so far. All have been bomb.com Service is also very friendly & attentive. Try it! read more

We absolutely love trying all of the coffee spots. We drove by and looked at Yelp, then we quickly turned around when I saw they had a Coconut Mocha Latte. That's my favorite combo and it did not disappoint! They use Lavazza coffee so it's strong, bold, creamy, a delish! Service was great and the place was super cute inside. We went on Valentine's Day so took advantage of the photo spot. Enough of my words, just go already! read more

Located on Van Buren Blvd and Orange Terrace Pkwy near Farmer Boys, with drive-thru and plenty of parking. I was actually on my way for breakfast elsewhere but stopped in here just for coffee and a cupcake or pastry. To my surprise, they also serve a variety of breakfast sandwiches! That was the highlight of my day. I had an iced 'White Mocha,' a 'Sausage & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich,' and a 'Praline Cupcake.' Everything tasted amazing. The mocha had the perfect balance of espresso, milk, and syrup. The sandwich, made on a super soft ciabatta roll, was put together perfectly. The cupcake was the ideal addition to end my breakfast feeling satisfied. Service was great, fast, efficient, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of seating, including outdoor tables. Overall, I had an awesome experience here and will definitely return to try more of their treats. read more

First time visiting and I will try to visit again. The service was friendly and fast. The store was clean and cute with seating inside and outside. I ordered a brownie and a mint matcha frappe. Both were delicious, especially the drink. They had oat milk yo exchange for cows milk, which I appreciated. The flavor combinations offered are interesting and sound yummy so I would love to come back and try their different flavors. read more

Really enjoyed the coffee and sandwhiches. Will be going back to try their matcha. Service was great. Plenty of seating and a cool Italian vibe. read more

Cool spot to hang out little Tracy but not too too bad. Pastries are good. Good ambience and location and customers are very classy. Not impressed with the guy behind the bar but might just been an off day. Either way I would totally come back. They are right next-door to a pizza and taco spot so this is a smart location. Got a strawberry pop tart, blueberry cupcake and an iced Spanish latte. All we're good. read more

Cupcake & Espresso Bar - A Cold Brew - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

I've driven past this place a few times and now I finally got to try it! The sign is easy to spot. Parking is not difficult at all. Right outside, they had a sign posted for all their fall drinks. I went in. The place is bigger than it looks! They have a huge seating area and plenty of tables. There was only a group inside and outside, enjoying their drinks. The front of the bar has a huge selection of drinks, sandwiches, and pastries. They have a wide selection of food, breakfast and lunch. I went up to the counter and let the barista know this was my first time and I wasn't sure what to pick. I ended up getting their crème brûlée latte, iced. I asked if they had a discount for county employees and she said yes. Ordering was quick, easy, and barista was cordial. I didn't wait long for my drink, probably 3 minutes. My drink was delicious, ever sweet. It is strong! I'd would definitely come back, thanks! read more

I am not picky with my drinks, but matcha was very milky. I would say it did not even really taste like matcha, just pure milk. Their coffee drinks are much better than the matcha. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious, but I would not try their matcha drink again. Service was good. read more

First time coming in the store. I set a mobile pick up @ a certain time. When I got there the drink wasn't ready/prepared so I had to wait additional 15 mins. I wasn't in a rush but it was a bit annoying because it wasn't even busy. Ambiance is nice though. I haven't tried their food yet. read more

Great coffee! Fast service and strong coffee! Pastries are fresh and it's always quick !

Food looks great, but the flavor isn't there. The egg white bite with sun dried tomato, spinach, and Gruyère cheese was ALL spinach. You couldn't taste the other flavors at all. The maple oat scone had a nice maple glaze coating, unfortunately it was dry and the oat flavor dominated the maple and pecans inside. Coffee was okay, nothing spectacular. The service on Sunday morning was slow and rude. Lots of room for improvement read more

Friendly staff, delicious cupcakes & coffee. Clean & a nice spot to chill at. No loss, worth a visit :)

The service was okay. The person taking orders was patient however it was a frustrating experience as almost every drink beverage I wanted was not available because they were out of an ingredient. The environment is cute, perfect for a date or to study/work. The danish was good. read more

Service was perfect! Baristas recommended iced banana pudding matcha and I don't regret getting it! Will definitely be going back! Ambiance is definitely chill but too quiet many people enjoying their drink or pastry and chatting. Loved it! read more

I mean it's just a local spot I go to often, it's not as good as the Moreno Valley location, coffee is mediocre but the flavors are great. Their matcha?? not really. Love their seasonal menus and there's enough seating to study. If you get their app, they got drinks they make per day of the week and that's chill if you're there long hours studying. Overall, not too crazy about it but good if you like trendy flavors and are in the area, check them out read more

The more I've come since they opened, the more I feel like it's going down hill. Consistently being out of the advertised Mexican spiced powder is one thing, but the quality of the coffee has declined significantly. My hot coffee is consistently not hot, and iced coffee consistently still hot. Service has been mediocre as well. I think it's time to stop coming to this location. read more

Gave it a 2 because they appear to actually be trying. I got the toffee coffee blended drink, didn't have any taste of coffee, didn't really taste like toffee. It was a premade powder that they used. That was disappointing. Gluten free cookies were adequate, us gluten free folk can't be too picky. Husband grabbed a cupcake, it was falling apart it was so dry. Frosting was adequate. Was expecting higher quality since coffee and desserts was their thing. Would not recommend or come back here unfortunately read more

Food. This place has an impressive array of sweets and savory foods, as well as all the common espresso drinks one usually asks for. The prices are reasonable. Service. Basically you order and pick up the foods and drinks like Starbucks. The woman at the counter was kind enough. Ambience The ambience is kind of cold, bright and somewhat like a high school cafeteria, with a huge round table in the center. It's very bright in fact, and one would never use the word "cozy" here. Yet the food makes up for it. For Vegetarians: This establishment has a surprising number of veggie and vegan options. I tried the vegan scrambled eggs. While tofu will never be a substitute for eggs, it wasn't bad. read more

I just came about an hour ago and I'm trying to ditch Starbucks, my experience was great! I didn't know what to order and the guy was so nice in recommending me something that I would like. I didn't have to wait long to receive my order which was a plus! I felt so welcomed that I decided to sit and eat my pastry My drink was perfect not too strong and not too sweet! I'm definitely going to come back once my semester starts! read more

Starbucks would never! First off not only is the coffee coffee but the customer service is amazing, they accidentally charged my husband one cup size bigger so they called and got a hold of me (I'm a member) to let me know what happened & apologized. They went out of their way to communicate this and did the right thing by refunded the drink. Love this service, now to get more locations would be amazing read more

Cupcake & Espresso Bar - Horchata latte - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

Things have been going extremely downhill since March ,I used to love this place but as of recent they have been getting my orders wrong,and taking longer than usual ,I use the app and still have to wait 45 mins ? ...isn't the app just to pickup your order,I placed my order at 8:03am and didn't have it ready untill 8:50 ,nothing crazy 2 ice coffees and 2 sandwiches I would understand waiting if I had a crazy long order but I've been giving this place the benefit of the doubt but they have been disappointing more and more.When they are good and well staffed this place is amazing but I think it comes down to a staffing issue. read more

I placed an order online and when I went to pick up, had to wait longer and my order was not complete, they ran out of Cinnamon rolls, but yet they were available online. 5 employees working but yet Bad service!!! read more

I found this spot, while attending a nearby training class. I went on two separate occasions. One was to get the red velvet pastry ($3.50), which was ok. The second occasion was to try the waffle / egg / sausage sandwich ($5.58), which was small in size and was disgusting!! What a waste of my $6. The service was fine and the interior was clean. This is the only reason why I am giving this place two stars instead of one. I am not a fan of this place, but you need to try this for yourself to make your own determination. read more

The strawberry pop tart is currently my favorite thing on the planet. I usually just go for a coffee but give their pastry's a try if you haven't! read more

The place is super cute! Cupcakes were delicious I only tried the matcha mint and I might have made a mistake. Should've chose something else There were 3 people working when we went and the guy was super friendly. There was 1 girl who did not look happy to be there.. I get it, it's work. I'm not gonna let it bother me. Will definitely try it again read more

Another 5***** review today. Great service. The Mocha with oatmilk was very good. The lemon cupcake with cream cheese frosting was yummy & moist. My only comment would be to take off the the hard lemon candy and replace it with a candied lemon slice. read more

Great coffee and treats! My all time favorites are the cheese danishes and the horchata cold brew. The place is always clean and well managed. read more

I love this place but I don't appreciate what I assume just happened. I've gotten the same drink enough times to know the price, which is $5.95. Today it was $7.50. I drove off confused and checked the app to see if the price changed. It didn't. I'm assuming they are adding a tip for themselves and hoping the customers don't notice. They gave me the money back when I went back in and showed them what the price should've been. If you come here make sure you check the prices first and ask for a receipt. Cause that's some sketchy ghetto stuff they're trying to pull. read more

This place is pretty good. first time here and I would come back.. Drinks are very taste.. I got pumpkin muffin and lemon bar both pretty good. Cinnamon roll was a little dry inside by time we got it home and my husband didn't care much for the cupcake he got but other then that everything else was delicious.. Definitely worth the drink for the drink. read more

This is my go-to for good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Love this place they never disappoint.

Had to stop by cuz it sounded amazing! It was my first time in this area, and I was limited on time, so I'm regretting that I didn't try any of their baked goods. There were so many options to choose from! Since I was in a rush, all I got was a hot matcha latte with oat milk substitution, which all came out to be about $7... the taste was alright but unfortunately slightly more on the milky side. I prefer my latte to taste more matcha and have the right amount of sweetness rather than on the milky side. So, the drink itself would be a 3.5/5. Again, so many food and baked goods options that I wish I could've taken my time. I like the nice, open space and decor. Hopefully, one will open up in OC! read more

Finally got to try this place after passing by every week! The drinks are definitely on the sweeter side but you can definitely modify to your liking. We ordered some new cold foam drinks they had to offer which were hands down better than Starbucks! They offer a wide selection of pastries, cookies, cupcakes, cakes, etc! They also have sandwiches..they had a lobster grilled cheese WTF!! This might be my new favorite coffee shop! read more

The energy was a bit hostile. I came in to buy a coffee and the cashier was alone. I noticed there was a couple off the side and I asked the couple and "if they were waiting in line," to which they responded "no, go ahead." Without letting me respond, she "I'm going to help them right now, just wait a minute" it's not what she said is how she said it. I'm not sure it was just weird energy. It makes me not want to go back, and I was super excited to try this spot:( Then I was called to order but I didn't go up to the register because she had previously said she was helping the couple first and then she just repeated "Are you ready?" Aside from the the coffee was good, and the sandwich was good as well. read more
