    Banana Brûlée Latte

    Whoever is paid to be in the yellow blow-up suit needs a raise, because it is hilarious. There is always fun new merch to purchase and you get a free drink if you get one! One day I will make it in time to try the bagels, because they look AMAZING!! But, I settled for a chocolate chip cookie and it did not disappoint with the little sea salts on top *chefs kiss*

    I had been wanting to try this coffee shop out for a while & finally got around to it today with my sister-in-law. We both opted for matcha, but I got a seasonal flavor and it was PERFECT. Not too sweet not too earthy and just the right color. My sister-in-law got a regular matcha and raved about how perfectly balanced the sweetness was. We were equally impressed with their bagels! I got the pizza bagel 5/5 & she got the blueberry bagel another 5/5! Can't wait to be back and try more things on their menu! Service was friendly & they got our things to us sooooo fast which was impressive given it's the weekend. Will most definitely be back!

    Came on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. Greeted as we walked in and very spacious. I wanted to try their matcha freeze but they were out. The lady at the counter told us all they have is matcha on tap. I tried it with oatmilk. It was okay. A little watered down but not too bad. I give it a 7/10.

    Bagels

    My friends know I am sucker for all things tiramisu so when they announced their summer flavors having a tiramisu cold foam, I got multiple messages to go get it. So I did! I got a large vanilla latte with the tiramisu cold foam. It was delicious. The cold foam tasted like tiramisu and the vanilla latte was a good latte. They also had a selection of bagels, but I didn't get one. They looked good though. The cafe is small but has seating at tables and couches. The staff were friendly.

    Stopped in for the elite experience event & glad I did! Tiramisu cold foam- 4/5 Pistachio latte- 4.5/5 Watermelon juice with matcha cold foam- 5/5 Mango matcha freeze- 5/5 Bagel with blueberry cream cheese- 5/5 Everything was delicious! For my favorites: I've never had a matcha freeze so that was unique! It was sweet & flavorful, without being overly sweet. The watermelon juice with matcha cold foam was so refreshing and had a light earthy taste. The bagel was served warm and nicely toasted. They were also generous with the blueberry cream cheese, which I appreciated. As for the cafe itself, the restroom trash was overflowing, but the restroom was otherwise clean. A couple of the tables needed to be wiped down; however, the cafe was busy when we visited and people had just gotten up from those tables, so it was understandable. :) Since this was my first Yelp Elite experience, I wasn't really sure what to fully expect. The cashier was friendly and greeted us as soon as we checked in, but he only mentioned the blueberry and sesame bagels and that they were out of regular cream cheese. Later, I seen they had a pizza bagel and I would have loved the option to try that instead. It would have been nice if all of the available choices had been mentioned during check in. Not sure if they were out or if it just wasn't mentioned. Another staff checked in on us after receiving our order and he was very nice. Overall, I had a great first Elite Experience. The food and drinks were excellent and I'd definitely come back. Also thank you for Sammy for coordinating and introducing to this nice spot!

    One of the best matcha places I've been to. The bagels were also really good. I arrived during opening at 7am and the two ladies were very friendly. I ordered the flight of matchas and blueberry bagel with cream cheese. My favorite was the mango match and tiramisu cold foam was my second favorite. The ambiance is very aesthetic and clean. Awesome hip place to go with a group of friends. Pretty spacious inside. Fresh Watermelon: 4/5 Mango Matcha: 4.5/5 Tiramisu cold foam: 4.5/5 Blueberry Bagel w/ Cream Cheese: 4.5/5

    I decided to stop in while the elite event was going on, even though I wasn't on the list, and I'm glad I did. I tried their "matcha on tap" with tiramisu cold foam, and it was absolutely delicious. The fact that they offer an "on tap" matcha at a discount is really nice and unique. Their simple menu is also refreshing--keeping things straightforward is a breath of fresh air. When we ordered, the gentleman who took our order was named Tanner. He was extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu and options. After picking up our drinks, we decided to sit and enjoy our matchas. There are multiple seating areas, including a sofa, a park bench, and tables with chairs, so you can come in and use your computer or socialize with friends and family. They also have a special posted: if you purchase any merchandise, you receive a free drink! Very unique as well.

    Raspberry Matcha

    I saw a friend post on Insta about this place, and I can't believe I slept on it for so long. This place was amazing! The staff was so nice, and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and friendly. I loved the focal art piece on the wall with the shop's catchphrase, "For Those I Love." That's exactly the feeling you get when you walk in--a warm hug from someone you love. There's plenty of seating to hang out for a while and a simple yet classic menu. They stick to the classics, but the vanilla latte with house-made syrup was anything but basic. It was the perfect combo of sweet, creamy, and great-tasting espresso. So good! I also bought some merch and got a free drink with it, so I went with the raspberry matcha. I'm no matcha connoisseur, but it was freaking delicious. The raspberry smash at the bottom with the perfectly creamy matcha on top was such a great combination. I don't like matcha when it's too earthy or bitter--I definitely prefer my drinks sweet and super creamy, for reference. Side note: the damn bagel sandwich! I'd go back just for that. From the fresh bagel to the spicy mayo, it was everything I needed to go alongside my coffee. Love this place.

    Pretty cool little spot I decided to try the peach espresso tonic and I got two bagels since they make them in-house. I tried the plain bagel and the pizza bagel. Both were pretty decent and you like the flavor of the pizza bagel. The atmosphere is pretty cool when you walk in there's a nice touch with a TV from like late 80s early 90s is broadcasting the view of everyone inside everybody was pretty friendly all in all. I think it's a pretty solid coffee shop.

    Woo hoo, a new coffee shop in the neighborhood. Came highly recommended so I had to try it out. I ordered a cold foam pistachio latte; fabulous delicious and affordable. Wonderful, helpful customer service and friendly which makes q huge difference these days. Brightly decorated and plenty of seating, clean and a cool vibe setting. I will be back to try their bagels! Update: Tried the breakfast bagels, yummmm! The sauces that came with them were both so delicious with a hint of fire! The bagels were so fresh! 4th visit this morning, did not realize the menu would change monthly. If it was a fan favorite, please keep it on the menu, please, please, please. I was offered the tiramisu cold foam which was very nice and subtle but I REALLY enjoyed the Pistachio cold foam wirmth their lightening milk. Hope it makes a comeback.

    Mikey G's was right next door to where we were at. We were able to park our car right in front do the thrift store and walk over. You can also park across the street in front of the goodwill. Right when we stepped out, we were very excited about the art on the sides of the building. They had photos of mice that were cleaning! It was very silly but cute. Once we stepped inside, we didn't immediately order. There was an old television with a webcam attached to it, to which we took a photo with. The coffee barista was very sweet and patient with us as we admired the decor and took our time looking at the menu. I decide to get their latte with vanilla bean syrup, while my fiancé got their tonic with mint. The drinks came out fairly quickly. We noticed several tables to study at with an interesting transition towards the back of the store. There were numerous people studying/doing work when we got our coffee. The coffee is strong and decent. I would say there's nothing unique about their menu; you've got the bare necessities. If you just need a good cup of joe with a quirky design, this is the place to go. Not bad for being new!

    matcha
    Austin O.

    I tried the matcha with whole milk unsweetened to really see how the matcha tasted at baseline. i would say it's comparable to much of the matcha I've tried around the IE. i imagine with some syrup, you could have a fun drink but for any matcha lovers out there, I'd say this is average or a little below for the IE area. i didn't try their coffee, which is what they're more known for. overall the staff were friendly and efficient. they had bathrooms available for customers. the shop itself is industrial style and can seat around 15-20 people. overall nice place, but I'd like to see better matcha. i hope to try the coffee next time I go!

    Solid new coffee spot in the Riverside plaza area. We stopped by for a quick cappuccino after breakfast. Everyone inside was pretty friendly and our drink was out in just a few minutes. There's a good amount of seating inside and it was pretty packed on a holiday. The space is clean and nicely decorated. We happened to get seating at a table where you can doodle on some paper! The drink itself was pretty good as well. Overall this is a solid spot for some coffee!

You walk in and are immediately greeted by music which invokes a chill vibe. It's a place where a lot of UCR students hang out. The coffee drinks and the deserts we chose were really good.

    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.

They have a small book exchange, often sell local art, have cute merch, and just opened up a bakery right next door with extra seating. I'm kind of a snobbish third-wave coffee person and although this place isn't trying to be that way, it still is my favorite spot because of the overall vibe, how genuinely kind and down to earth the baristas are, and how comfortable it is. A lot of coffee shops are so brightly lit and trying to be hipster still in 2026, but this place is just kind of homey and the classic cozy coffee shop we all want to go to. So if you're a hardcore coffee connoisseur and are looking for the highest quality coffee, this might not be your spot. If you're looking for something with yummy drinks and baked goods with a chill environment you'll be very comfortable in, this is 100% your spot.
