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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Finally was able to try Mikey G's today at their second location! There is parking across the street to make it easy to walk over. I ordered an iced vanilla bean matcha with 1/2 sweetener and oatmilk. The matcha was pretty good and great price. It was a little more on the milky side but still good! Service was great, the girls taking and making my order were very sweet! There is seating and space inside but this location is smaller on the inside than their other location! Can't wait to come back for their next seasonal menu! read more

Coffee? Dark roast, less sweet, pretty good. But the Hojicha is bangin'! They used a banana bread syrup and it was an amazing experience. While not on the standard menu, I asked for it and wasn't disappointed. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere retro and chill. Only marked down because we had ro do several u-turns just to figure out if they were open or not. A lit up "open sign" or a-line signs outside when they open would be a big help in bringing more attention to this business. I'll definitely be back. read more

You know I have to pull up to a new coffee shop in Riverside. Finally stopped by this location (2nd? I think?) of Mikey G's this morning. Ended up having to park across the street at Goodwill because it was busy with the line out the door. Love the vibe and energy of the place. Yellow hues everywhere and spacious. I got the lightning milk with Reese's puffs cold foam and that cold foam seriously makes all the difference. It's literally like drinking the cereal and it's super delicious. They're card only, fine by me, but worth noting if you're tryna pay in cash. Definitely will come back to try some other stuff. I'm eyeing that lucky charms matcha. read more

New coffee shop in town! Wonderful, friendly and welcoming service. Luv how they revamped this location. Inside seating with waiting area bench and couch. Tap to pay. Traditional real coffee drinker menu, matchas and seasonal breakfast inspired drinks. Staff were very helpful customizing a drink for my liking they're awesome. It came out perfectly. The cortado was a smaller shot and will well poured latte art. Fresh bagels and cookies were available at the time we stopped in. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu. Limited street parking in front with goodwill parking lot right across the street. It's a smaller side street easily accessible. They close a little early so be sure to check their hours before heading over. read more

Really cute new coffee spot next to Goodwill and Baker's Dozen. Coffee and thrifting?? Don't tempt me with a good time. I was excited to try their cereal drinks, but unfortunately, those are gone as they change their drinks bi-monthly. So I ended up getting their Matcha on tap which is vanilla bean matcha and oat milk. I got the large with the vanilla cold foam and it was $9 and some change. It was really good but a bit on the sweet side so keep that in mind. The inside is really cool and stylish with pops of bright yellow, and they have the cutest cups. Gotta come back soon! read more

Walking into Mikey G's feels like stepping into a place where time slows down just enough to enjoy the moment. The aroma of freshly ground coffee hits you right away--rich, warm, and inviting. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and stylish, with soft lighting, clean design, and just enough buzz from conversation to make it feel alive without being overwhelming. What really sets Mikey G's apart, though, is the people. The staff greet you like you've been coming in for years, even if it's your first visit. There's a genuine energy behind the counter--no rushed interactions, just good vibes and attention to detail. You can tell they care about what they're making. And the coffee? Consistently top-tier. Whether it's a smooth cold brew, a perfectly balanced latte, or something more creative off their specialty menu, every drink feels crafted, not just made. Pair that with a fresh pastry or light bite, and it turns into more than just a coffee run--it's an experience. Mikey G's isn't just a stop in your day; it becomes part of your routine, the kind of place you look forward to going back to. read more

Since it's fully opened they have added bagels to this location's menu. The bagels are definitely a tasty addition and we spoke to one of the owners who confirmed they are made by them at the other location and not bought from a vendor. The blueberry cream cheese was a nice addition. The pizza bagel is an instant favorite. The staff is friendly and service is consistently fast. They've added a few small touches to the interior and seating so it's comfortable. It is one of our preferred weekend stops now. read more

My friend and I decided to check out this coffee spot, and she was treating me out for my bday, all I have to say is that the service was not there. Normally when I've gone into coffee spots the baristas are very welcoming and greeting customers. That is something I look for in coffee shops, and unfortunately that was not the vibe from here this morning. Drinks came out good though. read more

The drinks were so fantastic! We had the lightning milk with the Reese's puffs cold foam. It's a great balance of coffee and sweet, peanut buttery goodness without being overly sweet. The banana bread hojica tasted like your grammy's best slice of banana bread mixed with a lovely black tea latte. My first time trying hojica, but definitely would order again! I didn't taste the latte, but my friend was very happy with it. Service was friendly, made great recommendations, and prepped quickly! The vibes of the shop are rad. Minimal/industrial vibes with cute splashes of happy yellow. Plenty of seating to chill and enjoy the great background music and converse with friends! Clean restroom! Such a wonderful small business addition to the Riverside community! Go support the crew! They're wonderful! read more

nice service, cute interior, the coffee is not my personal favorite. maybe one day i'd try again

Really great bold coffee. Not sweet like a lot of the popular coffee shops despite the toppings. This is for coffee lovers who love the intense coffee flavors. Tried it recently for the coffee and matcha and will need to come again once their food menu is set up! Wife rated the matcha as a 10/10. read more

Great bagel and latte was smooth. Little pricey but not outrageous. Staff was nice. The bagel had a nice crunch but was also really soft

Delicious. Love their French Toast Coffee. It's closest to a caramel latte which is what I get at other coffee shops.

Friendly staff , great selections and reasonable prices. I got an iced matcha and it tastes delicious!

I never liked matcha until I had the matcha at Mikey Gs! My favorite thing to order is the flight to try their bi monthly specials. Their coffee is delicious but I always am blown away by the matcha iced, fruit bomb, slushy any way you order it's the best! Service is great everyone is so friendly.

I got the lightning milk and it was so good. An absolute favorite! My order was made pretty fast which was a plus.

Mikey G's has done it again! I've been going to their other location since they opened it and was super excited for their second location. Despite being a new location they have the best service and the vibes have remained the same! Feels a little quieter at this location, but still super homey and friendly. Of course the drinks did NOT miss! 10/10 as per usual! We got blueberry pancake matcha and the Reese's puffs drink, both were so good! I cannot wait for more events at this location! read more

I love Mikey G's! My roommate and I have a tradition of trying their matcha flights every month. They always have great service and friendly employees. All their drinks are made with excellence. Their specialty bagels are delicious, the London fog bagel was the best bagel I've ever tried. At most coffee shops I stick to a "usual order", but here I'm always down to try their latest creation. Today I'm trying the blood orange espresso tonic. The new flagship location is perfect, lots of space to sit and socialize. I love their theme and decor! read more
