Coconut caramel was a terrific summer flavor; we also love the Fall options. Cookie Butter has had us returning for more, and their everyday salted caramel is a perfect level of sweet yet the espresso proudly shows up in the flavor. I tend to like my coffee a tiny bit sweet- some may need the flavor toned down a bit. The baristas are happy to try to accommodate your preference. Be patient on Saturdays and prime hours. The line can be out the door. They do have a mobile app option to order ahead and pick up. There are tables and chairs on the patio and a few inside if you prefer to stay for a bit.

They seem calm and collected, with making sure there is precision in their work. I hope that makes sense. It feels very much like a space where everything is calm and slows down while you enjoy your coffee. It is very clean too, I love a place where people take care of the space they work in. The counters behind the bar look super clean. The drinks are very different, I can't say you find anything quite like them at your local Starbucks. The bagels are quite delicious and definitely beat something you get in bulk at your local supermarket. I found this place because of instagram and definitely if I'm in the area again, I will definitely come.

This place needs to commit all efforts to bagel making, that is for sure their "jam". No one makes a better bagel. Coffee can be hit or miss and the matches are very good but again the bagel is the star. Side note the regular size banana latte was just shy of $8 with tax. I believe it is 16oz? I added a picture to show comparison to a regular water bottle. This thing is tiny. I'm all for supporting small businesses but these prices make this place a rarity

I was honestly so touched by this experience!…read more I ordered something that they ended up being out of, and instead of simply sending a substitute and moving on, they included a handwritten note explaining what happened, gave me two café con leche drinks in its place, and even included the sweetest little sticker. It may seem like a small thing, but people don't do this anymore. That little extra bit of care and human connection really moved me. The note felt heartfelt. It felt personal. It made me feel like the people behind this little café actually care about the experience they're creating and take pride in what they're offering to their community. And honestly, that matters to me, especially when we're talking about what we put into our bodies. There's something beautiful about starting your morning with something made and served by people who genuinely care. This is the kind of place I want to support. A local, mom-and-pop business where you can feel the human touch. Where someone goes the extra mile, not because they have to, but because they care. So if you're looking for a good café con leche, go support them. Thank you, Espumita, for the beautiful little reminder that kindness and personal connection still exist. 5 stars for the coffee, but honestly, 10 stars for the care!

We couldn't decide if we wanted coffee or matcha so we got both ;) We ordered 1 Mazapan not too sweet, 1 Pistachio White Chocolate 10/10 1 Spanish Latte extra ice with cold foam (barista forgot to add and I didn't want to come back after I drove away). My daughter rated it 8/10 out last drink was Strawberry Matcha 7/10. I think it needed a little more ice and wasn't as earthy as I prefer, I will still come back for Coffee. Cute Truck and quick service.

The atmosphere is cozy, cute, and inviting, making it the perfect spot to grab a coffee, catch up with your bestie, or just relax for a bit.

Can't wait to come back and try more from their menu!

Yes yes yes Riverside has really stepped up their coffee…read moregame in the last few years and The Notebook Cafe is an excellent addition! I am honestly shocked to see some of the negative reviews here! Drink- I got their Brown Sugar shaken espresso and I thought it was delicious! Pricey @ $8.40 for 16oz (I think), but a good balance of coffee flavor to sweet. Because of the price point, I probably won't be back often... it will definitely be a special treat situation, and I do have to say it's probably at least a dollar more than a lot of of the other shops around town but it was really really freaking good! Service - the barista who rang me up was super nice, and after receiving my beverage, my toddler asked if she could have a "coffee". We went back up to the register so I can order her a milk and they were so nice, they gave it to me on the house for her in a short little cup and even cut the straw short enough for her to be able to use. I really appreciate little things like that! Ambiance - I think they for sure have the best ambience out of all the coffee shops in town! I kind of hate the minimalist, sterile, light wood/all white/potted plants vibe so many coffee shops seem to go for and the ambiance here is COZY and moody, I love it! If I could decorate my house the way they decorated the shop, I hands-down would. I love the touch of the old books they have displayed as well. It is a little small inside but they had probably 4-5 tables out front as well. We arrived probably around 9 AM, or shortly before that on a Sunday morning and we were able to walk right up and order and find a seat easily but by the time we left, maybe 30-45 minutes later, there was a line out the door so I would recommend getting there early on the weekend.

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!

Had a girls weekend with my bestie and wanted to grab a coffee before heading out our last day and we almost missed getting into the parking lot because it doesn't have the typical coffee shop store front. Actually, it's literally a hidden treasure. When I tell you that I did NOT expect that much space inside, I mean I was SHOCKED. The first room within the shop is quaint, cute and neutral in style. About 10 seconds after walking in, we were greeted in a very friendly manner by the young man up front. He was helpful too because I like to get something off the menu but nothing too far from what I usually go for and he recommended the Lucky Charms latte while my bestie got the Marzipan latte. I asked for it not to be too sweet so he made that special request and those coffees did NOT disappoint on flavor or representation. We loved the story he shared with us on how the coffee shop got started and was inviting to show us the event space that was being used now in the back. It was literally a guided tour behind a great cause on community and making a coffee corner an inclusive space where families can feel safe and comfortable to bring their children and families who have been touched by Down Syndrome. We will definitely be returning next time we're in the area and I'm so happy we stopped by.

As a frequent patron of your establishment, I am writing to provide constructive feedback regarding…read moremy recent experiences. I have consistently found the coffee quality to be satisfactory, which initially prompted my regular visits and my desire to support a local business. Furthermore, I must commend the exceptional service provided by a young gentleman on your staff, whose consistently positive and engaging attitude significantly brightens the customer experience. However, I have unfortunately encountered a recurring pattern of less-than-satisfactory customer service, primarily from an individual I understand to be the owner. Despite numerous attempts to provide positive reinforcement and offer a compliment on the coffee, responses have often been abrupt and dismissive, conveying a distinct lack of engagement. There is a frequent absence of basic greetings or acknowledgements, leading to an overall atmosphere that feels unwelcoming and impersonal. While I genuinely appreciate the product, the cumulative effect of these interactions has regrettably transformed my routine coffee stop into an increasingly stressful experience. Despite my initial commitment to your business, the current standard of service makes it difficult to continue my patronage, and I am now contemplating taking my consistent daily expenditure elsewhere. I hope this feedback is received with the intention it is given, which is to highlight an area for potential improvement that could significantly enhance the overall customer experience and foster greater customer loyalty.
