Molinos is located right across from the Mission Inn and has a great view if you want a place to work and people watch. Long line and pretty busy but friendly staff. The coffee was okay and there were some seasonal options. Food options are limited and are okay quality. Overpriced acai bowl with frozen fruit and it cost extra to add additional toppings. Definitely would not go back for food. There are other trendy coffee shops around the area that others might consider instead. read more

Staff is always helpful and willing to explain any questions I may have about the food or drinks. The lighting is always nice since there is a large window getting that natural light. The lattes are never a miss! Always 5/5. Their ham and cheese croissants are delicious. read more

This coffee shop can be found across the street from The Mission Inn. It has a few breakfast items, and a great selection of unique coffee offerings. I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted to try and I opted for the Cloud 9, which is a white mocha with hazelnut. The drink was delightful, although it was a big on the sweet side. They need to hire more help though, I felt terrible for the girl working there. The morning I went, there was only one girl working and she was both cashier and barista, so it took a long time to place the order and get your drink. I saw someone walk out because it was taking so long for him to place his order. read more

The coffee is very good, their cold brew with vanilla cold foam is exceptional, it is the best cold foam I've had. The food and pastries are not that good, I'd just stick with coffee. read more

Was looking for a coffee shop in the area and saw Molinos and decided to check it out. I tried the Caramel De Dulce and it was soooo good! Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I've been a fan of Molina for a while, during my visit today, there were no employees working the store. Me and at least a couple other people walked out. While I was standing around I began to look up at their fixtures and walls and was unfortunately disgusted by the level of dust and filth on the top part of the store. Maybe I'll come back when it gets the owner's love and care. Disappointed. read more

Do not go here if you have anything pressing to do in the near future. Slow, slow, slow. The person running the register has been the same person making the drinks almost every time I come here. Today one girl (God bless her) ran the register, made the food, and made the drinks while the other girl put supplies away in the fridge... customer service? I came in for a simple black drip coffee, 2 people ahead of me and it's been 12 mins and I still haven't gotten to place my order yet. However, the staff is friendly and polite and the coffee is pretty decent so 3 stars it is. read more

Took a while for drinks to be made. Not sure if this is an employee or owner error... For a weekend, more people working would be ideal for wait time and ordering. Cappuccino did taste good though. read more

My favorite go-to for an adffogato; I waited to post this review as my first time was a to-go order. After a couple more visits to enjoy the indoor and outdoor seatings, I feel comfortable to say it's a very nice coffee "hang out". I see customers enjoying the indoor "neighborhood"feel with friends or getting alone time and the outdoor perks of people watching. We've tried many items on their menu and we have not been disappointed. Their baristas consistently make good coffee and are rarely stressed. The only "downer" is parking. Although there is street parking, we usually park in the public parking structure on the corner of Market and Mission Inn Avenue. read more

I was in town for a conference and this became my morning routine and got me energized for the long conference days. It's in the heart of downtown right in front of Mission Inn Hotel. It's a spacious coffee shop with plenty of seating. One morning I got an iced dulce de leche latte (1/2 sweet) and everything bagel with cream cheese. Another morning I got a salted caramel latte (hot & medium) + a jalapeno cheddar bagel with cream cheese. Everything was delicious and the barista was super friendly, especially with a huge crowd coming in. read more

We had an opportunity to visit this coffee shop and the Cortadito was amazing!!! The young lady behind the counter working alone also did an amazing job. Shop was full of customers and you could never tell she was swamped. Keep up the amazing service! read more

Literally my favorite place to study!! I come here when I have free time to do so and I usually order chai latte with soy and blended. Let me tell you, it is the MOST amazing chai latte i've ever tasted and I think about it all the time LOL 10/10 read more

Great drinks i really enjoy their matcha and the workers are really nice! They also have good bagels and they give you a good amount of cream cheese read more

Very dirty & bad attitude-yy! I am a regular at Copper Goat; the owner advises me to try here as well. I went in this morning and met the barista. She was opening and carrying out the patio furniture. I was hoping she wouldn't come in and not wash her hands--but she DID. So I asked her to do so; she shot back, saying, I'm going to before making the drink. Meanwhile, she went in the fridge and touched everything else prior to that. She seemed to have an attitude because I had to ask her to do what every food service employee was trained to do. She began to ask me for revisions 1 by 1, and I responded, "No other revisions." She rebutted, "I have to ask." I feel as if that was unnecessary. I was kind & professional with her. It was uncomfortable for me to have to ask an adult food service employee to wash her hands first thing after moving furniture outside. She was wrong and took the cattie route,-so I decided to take my $$ elsewhere. I said, NEVERMIND, and I left. read more

Exceptional service! Very accommodating ladies working the counter at this little cafe inside the Mission Galleria Antique store. We had a mango smoothie, small cold brew, and avocado toast for about $17. Pleasant atmosphere, and a wall of peaceful, natural light street-side. They have a machine for emailing and printing, which is pretty neat. read more

Such a nice and inviting coffee shop. Everything from the service to the coffee was nothing less than great. I got an vanilla ice cream espresso which I was hesitant about but turned out to be a great choice. My sister got the horchata cold brew which was also amazingly delicious, tasted like churros. Will definitely be coming back. Also has an unexpected entrance to the huge antique shop in front of the mission inn. Great little outing. read more

Thursday afternoon. Barista somewhat rude. Didn't think much of it. Got a honey latte with whole milk and I got spoiled milk. Super gassy now, bloated stomach and multiple trips to bathroom now :/ Gf got oat milk vanilla latte and avoided the same fate read more

Great location with great views of Mission Inn. The drinks were great. My son had a mango smoothy which he loved. My wife had the blended caramel vanilla coffee & it was delicious. They also shared a blueberry muffin to go along with the drinks. Highly recommend. read more

One of the best iced vanilla lattes I have had. Service excellent. It is located right in front of the Mission Inn Hotel... will definitely be back if in town! read more

Whatever you do don't order the matcha ... I knew the second I saw the color it was all wrong. It tasted overly sweetened and way too milky. Plus the lady at the counter had an attitude for no reason. Not to mention it was almost $8 for a medium. Sadly I won't be going back. read more

First time visit and it will be our go to breakfast and coffee spot from now on. Great food, delicious coffee. Fun atmosphere. Lots of seating. Both kids at their entire breakfast ( egg, cheese and bacon coissant and Nutella and banana croissant, avocado toast with bacon). Clean plates one and all. Right across from Mission Inn in old town. Don't miss this gem. read more

The customer service, ambiance, and coffee are amazing! It can get busy but worth the wait.

We stay at the Mission Inn every year. I don't know how we've ever missed going to this delicious little coffee shop. I had a lavender latte with the avocado toast. If you go, these are two of my recommendations... The people that work there are some of the nicest people we have ever met... read more

Coffee and Latte were fine. Sad selection of anything else - only bagel shaped objects and supermarket muffins. The real problem is they charged 80 cents !! For a little half and half in the coffee. Criminal. read more

It took awhile to get our drinks with very few people in there. I got my most loved Dulce Latte and it was still BOMB. the service was mediocre and wasn't anything special. It was dirty inside and not kept very clean. The tables were sticky. Everything seems a little off. 5 stars for the drink, 1 star for the environment, and 2 stars for service. I WILL STILL BE GOING BACK. read more

This was my favorite spot when I was in high school. Great spot to study. They even have a printer inside for customers to use! Revisiting it years later... it was alright. They raised their prices a bit, so the acai bowls were $6.95 and an extra $1 for blue berries... so my total came out to almost $9. Overall, the acai bowl was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. This is a cute spot to have a coffee date with friends. There's a few tables inside with cute aesthetic cafe vibes. They also have a cute outdoor patio with a view of the Mission Inn. BE WARNED: it's hard to find free parking here or anywhere in Downtown Riverside. read more

I was here every morning during my stay at the Mission inn Hotel to pick up a quick breakfast for my husband and I. It was always busy and the gal was there on her own holding it down and getting everyone's orders correct. My husband loved their cafe con leche and we both really enjoyed the breakfast sandwiches despite being small. I enjoyed the peach mango smoothie which was dairy free. Great service & good coffee! Also, a lot cheaper than hotel food and you're supporting a local small business! read more

Ok coffee, I was not overly impressed. I will say the young lady working was all alone and seemed rushed. Not the wow factor I expected for a Cuban coffee spot. read more

Came here to get a quick bite Saturday morning before going on a hike. I'm not sure if it was an off day but...3 out of 4 we ordered were bland and just wasn't good. Both iced tea drinks we ordered tasted like flavored water, that's almost $7 wasted because we had to throw it away. The girls were very timid and reserved, didn't offer extras like when I ordered waffle bites I thought it came with strawberries but I guess it was an add on but she didn't tell me about it. The Nutella sandwich, the croissant wasn't toasted and my waffles were just tasteless, ugh, and also didn't come with butter (as per food description). AND even worse, the bathroom was soooo dirty! Just too many misses, we just decided to cut our losses and leave. read more

Not busy at 10am on a Tuesday. I ordered Medium Iced Mocha with Soy milk. It tasted so good. Perfect balance of coffee and chocolate syrup. I also ordered a breAkfast sandwich minus the meat. The sandwich is pretty basic (egg and cheese on a croissant). Maybe they can add on their menu, just egg and cheese sandwich with a lower price because $5.99 it's pricey. The interior is pretty cool. Clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and efficient. read more

Need a wake-up to your taste buds, this is the place. Had their winter special and that drink was high on flavor. But I ordered decaf so I don't know caffeine level of a regular. Their hot chocolate was just as good. Foamy, smooth and just the perfect chocolate balance. I could drink it down like a shot. read more
