Shoutout to Yolanda for preparing my coffee and always being so kind. Excellent customer service. ¡Gracias! Service 5/5 Coffee 4/5 read more

Disappointing experience at Ivan's at Hinderaker. When picking up my mobile order, I asked for two straws and the employee said no because my drink was an iced chai latte. The interaction came across as rude, which was frustrating since I've received straws without issue from other employees before. I was also told there's an option in the app to request a straw, but I haven't seen that option.. read more

Great coffee stop if you don't want to visit the Coffee Bean or Starbucks on campus. Prices are reflective of the location on campus. Fun Fact: Ivan's is named after Chancellor Ivan Hinderaker. Get it? Ivan's at Hinderaker. read more

Ivans - Menu as of Fall 2015 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Overpriced beverages, but it's on a college campus so it's to be expected. However, the assorted pastries are priced fine. If I ever swing by for breakfast, my usual order is a toasted blueberry bagel with butter and a small or medium hot coffee of the day. They have a table on the side with a cream dispenser and sugar packets for people like me who don't always like drinking black coffee. They also serve different soups on each weekday, which are served in a cup or bowl size. The soups can be quite tasty, though not very filling. This is my go-to place for order since it's near the center of campus where all my classes usually are. read more

5 stars for the best and my personal favorite coffee spot on UCR's campus. When I'm on campus, this is my favorite place to get coffee. My usual drink is an iced hazelnut latte or an iced caramel machiatto. On days I don't get to eat breakfast, I will also order their blueberry bagel toasted with cream cheese. Never disappointed! This coffee place is located at Hinderaker hall, sandwiched between the humanities building and the arts building. There is only 2 small tables outside for you to sit and enjoy your coffee, but they are usually either taken by staff or a grad student eating lunch. I would usually take my coffee to class. Price wise, I prefer this over bytes and coffee bean, only because when I pair my drink with my bagel I would spend less than I would at coffee bean. If you want cheap coffee, I would say go to scotty's at the HUB. But it's hot, so I like to come here for my iced drinks. Taste wise, I also prefer this place more because of the strong coffee taste I get. When I'm at coffee bean, my lattes always taste powdery and I don't really like that. This is where I spend all my dining dollars (besides starbucks) when I'm on campus. It's a small place but the coffee is great! read more

Best coffee. Great customer service. Very friendly. Fast service. Good prices. Order I recommend to try : 4 shots of expresso, 6 shots of classic syrup, and oat milk iced . You're welcome. So glad this coffee shop is on campus It has saved me from energy slumps read more

This is a nice spot for UCR students. It is very convenient, especially when you didn't have a chance to get breakfast and/or your morning coffee. They have good tasting coffee and assorted pastries. read more

What's the big deal about Ivan's? NOTHING. They serve just an average cup of coffee that you can buy at a gas station. They probably use Folgers--cheap and inexpensive. Their pastries? Nothing spectacular. Most of them have pre-packaged wrappings that suggests they were bought from somewhere else. I can open my own Ivan's if I had a Costco membership. All I need a coffee grinder and a can of Folgers coffee beans, maybe some cinnamon rolls from Stater Brothers too. All of this should do the trick. Ivan's: stop stealing our money and start making your own authentic food and drinks! read more

As far as coffee on the UCR campus goes this is my third favorite. But that's only because I'm more of a latte person. Sweet drinks here aren't the best. Avoid drinks that will hit your sugar tooth. However, if you're one of those people who drink their liquid gold (coffee) black, then by all means this is the place for you! Their daily brew is really good! I'd say the best on campus. Close to humanities and hinderaker as well as on the way to the gym and a lot of the parking. So it might be worth grabbing a cup after class for the long walk back. Or if you're visiting the campus and taking or taking a tour, it's close to the tour office and financial planning office! So drop on by and get a daily roast! read more

Cute place to get coffee. Nothing too extraordinary. It's nice because you can also order breakfast and lunch! I usually get the mango smoothie here. read more

Ivans - My big jodelle!! Drinking Mango and strawberry banana smoothie. Yummmm - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

I stopped by here once and kind of regretted it, but I'm not going to bash it because it's still pretty alright. I got a medium iced chai tea latte one morning for $4.19 and was pretty "meh" about it all. Was I too sleepy to care? Possibly. Was I just really craving a chai latte before my wretched discussion? Definitely. So here's my wake up announcement to you: GO TO COFFEE BEAN INSTEAD. Yeah, the lines may suck and stuff (read my Coffee Bean review if you want to know what I mean by "stuff" - #selfpromo), but my medium was the size of Coffee Bean's regular and I could have gotten an iced chai tea latte for $0.70ish cheaper. Aside from the size, I was annoyed that my latte was predominantly milk and ice. Enough with the cons, you say? Where are the pros? Here: - eco-friendly material (thank you) - friendly workers (thanks u make my day even tho u prob hate ur job) - "crowded" means 5 people tops ahead of you in line TLDR: Make the trek up the stairs to Coffee Bean if you want to treat yo'self but also make getting a drink worth it. read more

This place is the best for coffee on the UCR campus. During peak hours, the coffee bean gets super crowded and if you're in a rush, you wouldn't be able to wait in the line. Instead, come to this little stand where there's rarely a line more than 2-3 people. read more

Hidden away in a window at Hinderaker Hall, you'll find Ivans. You can usually spot the window by finding a line of people lining up near the front of UCR in the morning. The line itself should tell you how awesome this place is! The main reason I buy from here rather than any other location near or on campus is their coffee. For some unknown reason, they always make a great brew. Better yet, they also serve breakfast items such as yogurt, bagels, fruit, donuts, cinnamon rolls and other bakery items. If black coffee isn't your thing, they also sell smoothies, espresso drinks, iced drinks and much more! Rather than waiting half an hour at the C-Store or Coffee Bean, Ivan's is quick and easy. If you want reasonably priced morning drink or breakfast item.. Ivan's convenient location and speedy service should do the trick. read more

I love Ivan's since I'm a Humanities major and am usually on this side of the campus. But often when I am thinking about going to Scotty's or elsewhere to grab a snack, I still come to Ivan's because I love Yolanda! She's the sweetest and her kindness always makes me day. read more

I am biased! I worked here for a year (: and I love it! I love the workers, Heidi and Nana they know EVERYONE's drinks... hell I even started remembering all the professors/grad students' orders... They will always brighten your day :D read more

Cute little hidden coffee/snack bar at conveniently located at Hinderaker hall. A good variety of expresso drinks, smoothies, soups, and snacks to cater your munchies during or in between classes. The line can get long at times but nevertheless they offer fast service. read more

Love to stop by Ivan's for my coffee fix on campus when I'm not feeling the walk over to Coffee Bean. The location is convenient, the service relatively fast in relation of employees present, and the people working there are always friendly! The benches they have in front are always a nice place to sit and relax or study, and the ambiance of an outdoor setting is nice. Adore their Fall/Winter themed drinks-- I wait for them every year!! read more

See all

Upon visiting the ucr campus, I stopped at Ivan's for some coffee. Just wanted to say the coffee was very good, but the service was excellent! Yolanda was very friendly and a pleasure to talk with, I would come back just to see Yolanda. Ivan's is small, but very clean and presentable. If you're visiting, or work on campus or a student, don't miss out on Ivan's coffee and the excellent service, or just stop by and talk to Yolanda, you won't be disappointed! read more

I ordered the chai tea latte with soy milk. It tasted like I was drinking spiced water out of an old sock. Do not order!!! Waste of money.

I don't think you should eat here! I had liquid diarrhea with even stomach acid coming out after eating the avocado toast with the pico de gallo. I ordered it around 3 pm, and this was supposed to be a breakfast item (served until 11 AM). The cashier told me it's fine; if they still have the items available to make the avocado toast, I could still order it. So I did... I highly suspect this was what made me so sick (during finals season!). First of all, the only other things I ate today were cereal, a granola bar, and cheezits, none of which have every made me ill. Second of all, I should have been alarmed that this breakfast item was still being offered. I really think the avocado and/or pico de gallo were not refrigerated properly and were thus unsafe by the time I ate them. Also, the person who prepared my food was not wearing gloves when preparing the coffee for other people before making my food. I didn't take alarm at this, as I don't think you really need gloves to make coffee, but I wonder if she still did not use gloves while making my avocado toast with the pico de gallo. I should have checked. Maybe the cashier helped make it too; I saw her wiping her nose on her fingers. A nurse told me I should have samonella; I have the symptoms. read more

Coffee is ok here...its a nice getaway from the less green side of campus. They have other stuff too...sandwiches, juice, etc...There are some tables outside to relax...no outlets (its outside) and wifi is via University. read more

Ivan's has a bit more coffee variety than Scotty's. The strongest coffee they have is the Highlander Blend, which is also available in Scotty's. I hoped Ivan's would have had their own unique coffee other than the same few from Scotty's. The cookie, however is extremely tasty and satisfying. What I ordered - Highlander Blend with two shots of espresso and Lemon Cooler Cookie. read more
