Rival Coffee has been one of my go-to coffee spots for a while now. It's honestly the first place that comes to mind whenever I'm craving coffee to go. Their breakfast sandwich is always a solid choice. Their fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying. But what really keeps me coming back is their coffee. They have unique selections, and everything I've tried has been consistently really good. If you're in Temecula and looking for quality coffee, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Nice place to hang out and get a nice drink or food item. But one issue! Rival, can you tell please add a vegetarian burrito option!!! I have been waiting since you opened. I recently thought there was one on the menu but when I asked there was actually meat in it despite the fact it doesn't list any meat in the description. "rival style burrito $15 no pocket size caramelized onions & jalapeno mix, tater tots, chipotle crema, eggs, cheese, side of green salsa" I was so excited until she told me there was meat in it. read more

It was my first time visiting Rival Coffee, and upon first glance, I was really excited about the spacious seating and big parking lot. We parked our car right in front, and walked into the coffee shop without seeing a line of customers. We saw the menu and there wasn't a top list of drinks. It was lattes with a list of syrups and dark coffee. They truly have a list of syrups for you to add to your latte. I was a bit caught off guard by that. They also had food, but we didn't look at that menu at all. We ordered a Hannah banana latte and a vanilla hazelnut latte. Both drinks were very milky. There was definitely coffee, because I was very caffeinated half way through my small size. The syrup you choose is definitely an after thought in every sip. Yes. There is spacious seating for anyone who wants to hangout or study. Beware to those coming here to work or study; it's so loud in here, I can't hear the person next to me. They are blasting country and soul music. It caused the groups hanging out to speak very loudly, and I just couldn't do work at all. On a positive note, they have free, strong WiFi. I don't think I'll be back. The coffee wasn't memorable and the space isn't suited for studying. I'd rather go to a quieter space with good brews. read more

Rival Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

The employees are always nice. Aside from that, I'm always disappointed with my order. If I order online and come in to pick it up, I will be waiting forever and it's up sitting somewhere, making me late for work and the food cold. The last time I went, I came through the drive-through and I ordered an iced coffee. They gave it to me hot and not even close to being a full cup of coffee. Which sounds like first world problems. But at the price of the drinks and food, you would expect it to at least be correct and what I wanted. My burrito was mostly egg with a few pieces of meat. I've come back several times, as it's very convenient location, but I'm always disappointed. read more

Rival Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Murrieta, California

CHILL COFFEE & STUDY ZONE! I spent two hours chilling on a table at Rival's outdoor patio. They had an amazing playlist and quiet atmosphere. I was able to read a manuscript while I was there without interruption. Rival's patio is shaded and has plenty of seating. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of oat milk to taste test the brew, I can confirm it was amazing coffee! I definitely want to dedicate more time coming to Rival, it's worth the buzz! I stepped inside and the coffee shop had a cool aesthetic with large coffee bags lining the shop and great use of natural lighting. The barista at the counter was decent, he was a little somber. However, the service was super FAST and efficient. I was so happy I got my coffee in less than 5 mins! I also want to visit for poetry night, my Mom and I haven't been able to make it but I drove by one night and it was hoping! Lots of folks came by for an evening of caffeinated joy and spoken word. read more

I think I walked into a coffee lover's heaven . This place has that fresh ground coffee smell but next level aroma . Stopped by while visiting my sister and it was worth the drive . The coffee was a build your own coffee with a lot to choose from I settled on a cookie butter cold brew . The cashier was super helpful since it was my first time and my drink came out fast . It was 7.00 for a 16oz which is pretty good for a cold brew with cold foam and specialty flavor . The coffee was well balanced and not too sweet . Give this place a try you won't regret it . Supporting local coffee places on sip at a time read more

the matcha itself isn't too bad, what I really enjoyed was the sweet cream in this. It was smooth and nice, the vanilla syrup I couldn't really taste. And the matcha itself isn't the highest quality of matcha so you could taste the difference if you have had a higher quality of matcha. next time id put more pumps of vanilla syrup to give it a better flavor read more

The coffee was delicious! The staff was kind and we talked their roasting process. The atmosphere was clean and large. Many seats and tables so that you don't feel like you're sitting on top of someone else. Love that they have free stickers for people that get a coffee! My only hesitation is the music is all different kinds. So if you watch what your kids listen to, think about what may be played. read more

Great coffee and some good energy drinks. They were out of a lot, but they worked with us to make a drink that worked out well. I wish there was more comfortable seating available, but overall enjoy this place. read more

The first few times I came here, the service and food were terrible and made me stop coming for a while. But recently came back in with my mom and there were definitely some improvements. An employee stopped mid task to help us out and he was extremely kind and helpful. I also really liked how our drinks and food came out at the same time. Shoutout to whoever was on aux because their music taste is impeccable! Overall, a really nice experience this time around. I hope that they can keep this up and not lose current and future customers. read more

Rival Coffee is located right beside Holiday Inn Express behind the Murrieta Mesa High School Ram Stadium. Rival has great coffee and tea options. Service was helpful and friendly. The place is huge!! Upon walking in, you'll notice that there are a lot of students on their laptops studying. Several outlets to plug your devices in. You will also notice sacks of coffee beans: Odyssey Pacamara from El Salvador Tracon from Ethiopia La Cumbre from Costa Rica Arabica Green Coffee from Honduras Service is fast and friendly. Drinks are delicious. Once you taste the coffee, you'll notice that they use high quality coffee beans!! Some of them will give you the caffeine kick you'll need to pull an all-nighter to study for that final!! Great place for coffee/tea. Check em out if you're in the area!! read more

RIVAL NEVER LEAVES ME WITH REGRETS. I always go back and forth if I will use mobile order via the app or drive thru, but I always find myself in drive thru lol. Service is always quick and the servers are super nice. They always have a smile and you always leave with a smile. I never have been inside. Every item I have ordered was always fresh. Even though I get the half sizes, they do not skip on the portions. One day, I will make it inside to order but having kiddos the drive-thru makes everything easier for mom life. read more

Delicious donuts and coffee! Friendly service at the cashiers and the lemon blueberry donut was to die for. I loved the open texture of the donuts, which makes them very light and airy. Coffee,according to my friend, was excellent. Very casual coffee house seating. There's a drive thru as well. read more

We stayed right next to this spacious coffee spot, and when I heard they had a "Lucky Charms" latte, I knew I had to go. Unfortunately, they were out of Lucky Charms (did somebody steal them??? Lol) but I did opt to try their filled churro and filled Nilla wafer donuts. Those were delicious, and I got a different latte, which was also yummy. Great local, small business - check them out! read more

The first time I visited Rival Coffee was a year ago, and I really liked my Crème Brûlée latte that the barista recommended to me. It's right across from the hotel I'm staying so it was super convenient to walk over there. I remembered that the place was decorated nicely with nice quote and fun urban art. I just tried to go over there this morning, and there was no signage about why it's closed today. It said that it opens at 7am on Saturday, and it's 7:40am--but it's closed?! I don't know why they're closed, but now I have to resort to the hotel coffee instead, which is definitely not as nice as the coffee I could have gotten if they were open. read more

I have gone here multiple times a week for the past four years and I have never had a bad experience! The baristas are very kind and always remember my name and order! My go to is a cold brew with vanilla cold foam, but they often have different seasonal cold foams that I also love to try! They have a delicious bagel and house made jalapeño cream cheese, and the breakfast burritos are always perfectly eggy and warm! However, the Mexi-Cali loco moco is to die for! I've since moved farther away but still go out of my way often just to come here! read more

Was looking for a coffee shop on the way to the zoo. We originally had another spot selected but it was closed. This should have been first spot. Team was friendly, drinks were made fast, had a nice industrial vibe. I find it hard to get a solid blueberry latte. I was not disappointed. I did ask to make it less sweet as I prefer less sweet drinks read more

Recently found a new coffee shop, other than Star$ucks. When I tell you the coffee was so smooth, it was delicious. I had a vanilla iced coffee with caramel, unfortunately I didn't go into the shop, I had it delivered to me. I heard the service was good and the inside was cool as well. It's definitely a place to check out again. read more

Cute place! There were already a lot of people inside, but there's plenty of seating. Food and drinks came out really quickly - maybe less than 10 minutes? We also came on a pretty busy Saturday morning too. I really liked the matcha and I also asked them for sweet cream on top. Their carnitas stack was also quite filling and had really great flavors. The carnitas was very tender as well. They do have a rewards/subscription program - which I thought was interesting. Will definitely be back for another visit! read more

Service and drinks are always exceptional here, but my carnitas stack I always order was not the same this past time. The whole dish was swimming in some overly spicy red liquid and the carnitas was over saturated and soggy which it never was previously. I also don't understand why the employees never ask if you have the rewards program either because I always tend to forget and lose out on my points. First disappointing visit I've had here, unfortunately. read more

Love how big and spacious this place is. I almost forgot what the coffee tasted like because I was too busy taking in the vibe. Parking lot is quite spacious too as it's located next to Holiday Inn Express. Didn't have time to study what the specialty items are so I got one of its filled donuts (maple pecan) and an Espresso Soda. The donut was quite good, and Espresso Soda was refreshing. It's kind of like an espresso tonic but uses regular carbonated water with some sugar in it. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Really good coffee place and their breakfast hits the spot. Tried their Honey Vanilla Cream latte and the cashier recommended adding sweet cream and cinnamon (her favorite for the drink) and it was delicious! It wasn't too sweet. The bacon burrito is really good too. I love that they have a regular size and a pocket size (half size). A regular sized burrito is always too much for me so the pocket size was perfect. The shop is kind of industrial and casual. Lots of seating and plenty of parking outside. read more

Awesome drink and food options! Great place for a sweet treat too. Rival has been around for a while and it's because they still do it right. Food is made fresh to order. Drinks are made efficiently. They have a variety of non dairy options and if coffee isn't your thing they also offer tea and energy drinks too. Cashiers are friendly and can answer any questions about the menu or give you suggestions on what to try. The vibe is cool and laid back. Not the boring typical coffee spot. Fave drink of the moment - 50/50 Pistachio Latte with seasonal strawberry sweet cream and oat milk. So good! Had to order another because my husband pretty much finished it before I could finish my food. Donuts - I'm pretty sure these are made fresh daily and have missed them on occasion because they do sell out. The blueberry one is super yum. I'm sure they're all good but that's the only one we tried today. Mexi Cali Loco Moco - This Hawaii loving girl had to try this and it did not disappoint. Just a warning that it is a bit spicy. I opted for the chipotle crema and pico on the side but they also sprinkled chili powder on top. Pretty huge portion. I couldn't finish it. read more

Unfortunately just a money grab from ownership. No labels or marketing done on cups or bags. With the prices being so high for a sandwich and iced latte for $18, you'd think there'd be an experience. Order taker and drive thru associate were sweet, but I'll stick with Starbucks for now. read more

Their menu sounded good online, so we decided to give it a try. I expected the place to be a smaller kind of cafe, but they had a lot of seating. I ordered the cajun avocado toast and the seasoning made it so flavorful and perfect. The tomatoes were so fresh. The bacon breakfast burrito was tasty and fresh too. The molcajete salsa was so flavorful and a perfect addition to the burrito. The cook their eggs in 100% pure virgin olive oil and all their donuts are cooked in avocado oil. Their bourbon peach coffee was so good that hubs ordered two. I really liked my pumpkin spice latte. It was a perfect pumpkin and coffee combination. We ordered at the counter and the cashier was very friendly. I would recommend checking this spot out!! read more

Today is National Coffee Day! Our experience was outstanding. Rilie took our order & we told her that it was our first time. She made helpful suggestions & laughed at our jokes. In the end, my cousin ordered a PSL with 4 shots of espresso & sweet cream on top. It was delish. I asked Rilie to make me her "go to drink" & it was ah-mazing. I had to read the sticker to see what it actually was. Highly recommend it: ---FIRE--- Cookie Butter Latte Iced 16 Oz Whole Milk Add Haz I was a barista when I was Rilie's age & it was like a time machine, except better. I used to add Hazelnut to all my drinks back in the day (1996-1998). But my lattes never tasted THIS GOOD!I thanked her & told he that I'd leave this review. So here I am. I will definitely be skipping Starbucks and coming here instead. read more

I was in town for a wedding. We stopped by here for breakfast since it was close to our hotel. Inside had plenty of seating & ceilings were high. Thy do have outdoor seating but it was about 85-90 degrees outside. I wasn't use to the heat. Service was great. We ordered a latte and vanilla latte. It was so good. Thumbs up on the coffee. For eats, we got the pumpkin donut, The Rival, & Avo Toast. PUMPKIN DONUT: Lots of filling but wasn't too sweet. THE RIVALRY: Brioche bun was soft. Fried egg, arugula, bacon bits, and cheese. Really tasty but a bit too salty. Was still good. AVO TOAST: Unfortunately, I've had better but it was still good. Great place, service, and good eats. I would recommend. read more

Stayed in the area for a week and found this coffee shop near by, it was soooooooo good. I got a chai with cookie butter syrup & we bought a few of their stuffed donuts. Everything was good, loved my drink and the donut was so soft and full of flavor. I wish there was one in Riverside! The inside was nice and spacious and I loved the coffee bean bags! The customer service was amazing, super friendly and nice. Got a free sticker with my coffee. My boyfriend and I even drove the 40 minutes back to get coffee again.
