A nice place with a great staff. Happy and really seem to enjoy what they do. Beverages were tasty.

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.

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

The drink 100/10 Customer Service could use a little work seemed a little dead and not welcoming seemed rude upon handing drinks Ambiance 10/10

The beverages are really good and the overall vibe is a mellow spot with a smooth groove Industrial decor with indoor and outdoor seating. Customer service friendly! Clean and organized! Reasonable prices! The perfect spot to relax while being serviced by a EV Charger Kailey is the best! Very helpful and kind.

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!!

Amazing coffee & service. So sad I live an hour away. My hubby and I always come here if we're in the area.

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

Brioche avocado toast with iced matcha

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.

Blueberry Lemon Donut
Karlie S.

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.

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!

Cortado

Went to Murrieta Hot Springs for the weekend and I so needed a caffeine fix, so I looked up the Coffee Shops near me and " RIVAL " came up I thought the name was gangsta so I told my wife let's go there! I'm so glad I went because the coffee and food was amazing, I ordered the CORTADO & The Anaheim ... the whole place has them good vibes, great service! Will be back soon thank you Rival

Matcha latte & Carnitas Stack
Tram N.

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!

Not a real fan of their coffee. The 2 drinks we had, 1 hot, 1 cold. Both were underwhelming unfortunately- too watered down.

The energy was warm, attentive, and genuine, the kind of service that instantly makes your whole meal better. Payton checked on our party of 8 at the perfect moments, made great recommendations, and always had a smile on her face. It's rare to find someone who is both professional and personable, but Payton balanced both effortlessly. Our food was great, but Payton is truly what made our visit special. If you're thinking about dining here, ask for Payton. You won't be disappointed! Also huge shout out to the host Avery. I called asking for our servers name so I can leave a review, she expressed she wasn't part of the morning crew but still took the time to help me figure out who our server was from a shift she wasn't even part of. That level of kindness and effort is rare and so appreciated.

The restaurant is spacious with a cozy atmosphere. I loved the walls adorned with open books and the floral wallpaper. We came to celebrate our anniversary and made a reservation online. Our waitress was proactive and let us know they were out of a couple menu items right as she handed the menu. The drinks were great, and the flavors of the 'Fried Chicken & Curry' were on point. However, the chicken itself was very dry and hard, and the portions were quite small for the price. One disappointment: there was no acknowledgement or special gesture from the staff even though we noted the occasion in our reservation. I'd definitely come back for drinks at the bar, but I'll likely skip it for dinner.

Our daughter, son-in-law, grandson, my husband and I came for another divine dining experience. We were seated right away as it wasn't too crowded. We noticed they rearranged the tables and seating. It's still so cozy and pristine with low lighting giving off an intimate vibe. The food was amazing as usual and it came out quickly! Never a bad meal here. Unfortunately, one star off for the service. We have come to expect the high caliber of service offered from Robin & Francesca from past visits. Our server Jessica was nice enough but not very attentive. We had to keep asking for our drinks to be refilled although it was very obvious that our glasses were empty. And there weren't a lot of people there. So our server really missed the mark. Thankfully, the food is consistently outstanding and mediocre service won't dissuade us from returning.

Our server Andy--who is also the manager--took amazing care of us from start to finish. The service was friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed. Andy recommended the sausages as an appetizer, and let me tell you... we're still talking about how delicious they were. And the BBQ was even better: the brisket and burnt ends were incredibly tender--soft and practically falling apart, with tons of flavor. Big thank you to Andy for the great service and for making the trip totally worth it. We'll definitely be back!

I ordered the 2-meat combo platter with brisket and pork ribs, plus mac and cheese and beans. Unfortunately, the food was pretty underwhelming for the price. The brisket arrived dry and slightly oxidized-looking, with only two slices included. The ribs were overdone and mostly from the cartilage-heavy end of the rack. Flavor overall was decent, but nowhere near memorable. The mac and cheese was bland, the beans were okay, and even the pickles had an odd chemical taste to them. The service was genuinely great, which was the highlight of the experience, but at around $48 for the combo plate, the food quality just didn't justify the cost. For comparison, Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano is in an entirely different league when it comes to quality and execution. This place felt much more geared toward tourists than serious BBQ fans.

The place felt cold and my parents were ready to go and get someplace warmer. The tap water tasted like chemical chlorine so didn't drink the water. The mimosas were good. My parents got the French toast. Very generous portions and probably could have just gotten one plate and share. They took some leftovers home. My turkey club on a croissant was ok. I suppose I had another vision of it but the thing was huge mostly due to the lettuce and I really hate having to break apart a sandwich to eat it. I think it could have been maybe grilled and pushed own more so I can get everything in one bite. My son liked the crab cake Benedict. My husband got the fried steak but the toasted (or limp) bread smelled and tasted rancid - like Ajax. Between that and the water smelling chemically, we were kind of grossed out by the whole experience. We told the waitress of the bread and she offered more breakfast potatoes which I think is the best thing on the plates, he declined. I mean for a $160 bill which is steep for brunch, I was just thinking have better tasting water (filtered) and tasty bread, make the room feel more warm, music was so loud I couldn't hear my parents across the small table, so just make the music more mellow and chill, less loud. I think it will be awhile if we decide to come back. From Chatgbt: Most likely cause: bread came into contact with cleaning/sanitizing chemicals (from a cutting board, knife, toaster, or counter that wasn't fully rinsed). What to do: don't eat it; rinse mouth and drink water. If there's burning, nausea, or throat irritation, call Poison Control (US: 1-800-222-1222) and let the restaurant manager know. My husband felt nauseous after but is doing ok. My son who had the crab said he feels sick and had some diarrhea. I think we will unfortunately pass from going there again :(
