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

I enjoyed my service and my time here. There's a lot of seating and great lighting. It isn't that quiet if that's what you're looking for, they do play music. I ordered an ice vanilla late with almond milk and the Cajun Funk Avo Toast. The service was good, I was helped promptly by Kristian, I will be returning again. 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

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

I was passing through Murietta quickly because i had somewhere to be but decided to stop by Rival. The customers in front of me were being difficult and the girl at the counter seemed new. I almost walked out strictly because i was on a time crunch, however, i'm glad i didn't. Gordon quickly took me at the second register and was prompt and kind when taking my order. The sausage burrito was just the protein boost i needed and the espresso was the perfect roast. Worth the wait! read more

Highly recommend The Rival breakfast sandwich - sunny side egg with cheese, arugula, bacon, and some sort of sauce that was super duper delicious. We got this twice in a row. We tried the bacon breakfast burrito. It was flavorful and the eggs were so fluffy. I'm not sure how they seasoned and what sauces they used, but their food was full of flavor. I ordered the pistachio latte and creme brûlée latte with oatmilk and I thought it was super sweet. I usually like super sweet but I couldn't finish these drinks. I liked the cold foam on top of the creme brûlée latte. My husband ordered the cold brew and he highly recommends that. He said the cold brew was on point. We also tried the Oreo stuffed donut - solid. And the fennel fries with cookie butter. Fennel fries was limp but my husband could have drank the cookie butter dip by itself. The inside is huge and spacious with plenty of group seating options. Clean and orderly. A space for folks of all ages to enjoy grabbing food and coffee with friends and family and enjoy the ambience of music read more

I loved the online//app ordering option. There are so many options when picking your drink. I ended up trying one of their rotating lattes (creme brulee) and picked 1/4 sweetener next time I'd like to try 1/2 sweetener. I love that they have the drive thru option as well. I also tried their breakfast burrito which was yummy I just wish it had hashbrowns or potatoes in it. The s'mores donut was good, I love that it wasn't overly sweet. Next time I need to check out the inside of the coffee shop and loved that then had patio seating available as well. read more

Came here for the first time and was hooked! I got their iced Maple Brown Sugar coffee with Soy Milk. It was to die for. I ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and a Oreo donut. Both were fantastic. The burrito had this amazing flavor which I couldn't tell what it came from. The donut was soft and full of filling. I'm so sad I'll have to go home after trying this place. The best part was their subscriptions. Their biggest one was one free drink of your choice everyday for $75 a month. What a steal! I wish they had places like this in the Bay. I can't wait to come back and visit. read more

This is my first time at this establishment, first impressions do matter, the younger gentlemen were delightful. They were fine. They were not the problem. I ordered my 16 ounce vanilla caramel latte and through the microphone (drive thru). I did ask for a cold foam, which I understand sometimes it's hard to hear through those things so after I got my drink, I quickly realized that there was no cold foam on my drink, so I walked inside and let them know that there might've been some miscommunication because I asked for cold foam - I was not upset. I just wanted the cold foam especially since I'm paying nearly $10 for one drink. It seemed like they were confused at what I was asking for at first I was like the foam that goes on top of the drink and I said do you guys not do that here I was asking questions because again this is my first time here so I'm actually questioning if they even do cold foam because I didn't think that was a hard request. Apparently they call it sweet cream here and I was not aware of that regardless it did say that on the sticker so they understood it just didn't come out. Anyway, I was like you guys do differently here and I'm not too sure who this younger girl was but she decided to put her input in and say yeah well everyone does things differently with a snarky attitude. My whole interaction I wasn't attempting to be rude or anything. I was genuinely asking questions because I wasn't sure if that was something that you guys did not offer or did offer or what the miscommunication was. I was just asking, but when she said that she rolled her eyes and kind of laughed and I feel like that was very disrespectful because at the end of the day, I am a paying customer. I wasn't being rude to anyone so I'm not too sure why she felt the need to give me that kind of energy when it was not needed. Other than that, everything was great and they were able to put the foam on top like I initially asked. I just really did not appreciate the way that she spoke to me when there was no need for that. read more

Rival Coffee exceeded all of my expectations. I believe Caleb helped us and he was cool, had great reccomendations, and told us to try "The Rival" sandwich. It was loaded with fresh avocado, bacon, egg, arugula , etc. and was simply out of this world--flavorful, perfectly balanced, and incredibly satisfying. The drinks were delicious, with a rich and smooth coffee that complemented the food perfectly. The service was amazing; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. Rival Coffee has definitely earned its spot as my new favorite cafe. Very clean and awesome decorations, too. Highly recommend! We left feeling exponentially better, so we might have been a little tired and hungry; if you are while reading this, head here now. read more

Ordered: Loaded fries with LIGHT seasoning and LIGHT crema & Hannah Banana PROS: + Hannah Banana latte. Amazing. The reason why this review has a star. + Love the employees. So nice & welcoming. CON: - Loaded fries. Third time ordering & it's disgustingly filled w/ salt despite for asking light seasoning AND salt. Fries were overcooked. This is definitely for the salt lovers. I am so very disappointed. - Poor communication with management.I also left a voicemail with their main line about this concern to give them a chance to call me back to address this issue before posting this. I am giving this a 1 star review because this is my THIRD time ordering despite even asking for LIGHT seasoning and crema. I personally loved them in the beginning when they first opened. I tried 3 times with hopes it will improve. I do not recommend their food anymore & I always used to recommend to my friends & family. For me, I will only get their drinks, but I will never get the food ever again. read more

Holy moly this place is awesome! We discovered it two years ago on our way back from Palm Springs and had to stop again over Memorial Day on the way home to San Diego. The coffee is great, the donuts are one of the best I've ever tried- almost like a beignet! However, their breakfast sandwich is one of best I've ever had! Service is friendly and fast and the place is huge so you'll always find a seat and plenty of parking outside. This place will always be a stopping point on my way back home from Palm Springs! read more

THE BEST breakfast sandwiches! I love the Anaheim and the Rival equally the store is always really busy, including the drive through unfortunately. Minus one star because the Matcha is terrible, they're definitely greedy with the amount of Matcha powder they give in your latte lol, i've had this issue the 3 times i've ordered a Matcha latte so I know that it's the recipe that is the issue. Other than that, super yummy alternative to Starbucks! read more

I asked them to make it half sweet and they made it perfect. They have a drive thru which is super awesome. The employees are super friendly and attentive. They don't have attitude like some of the baristas in OC coffee shops do! Check them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Hands down best breakfast drive through out here. I love my breakfast sandwich and matcha. The stuffed donuts remind me of Leonard's in Hawaii. Thank you Kailey for your wonderful service. Came here for a quick on the go breakfast for my entire fam I was pleasantly surprised by the options and quality. Only issue was my bacon in sandwich was a tad salty. We will be back again and maybe eat in person there were tons of people dining there on a Saturday morning when I came. 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

Three stars only because the coffee was good. But the food was terrible. $10 for a chicken sandwich that tasted like a high school cafeteria chicken patty. My teen daughter looked at it and told me a Wendy's menu chicken burger is more appetizing. Place was pretty packed but again I think it's the coffee not the food. Have you ordered the revolve sandwich and it was OK I don't think it's a $10 sandwich. read more

I LOVE Rival. It's my favorite coffee shop at the moment. I get the iced maple brown sugar latte!

Been here a couple times already and really enjoy having a iced latte and breakfast sandwich here. Staff is friendly and drinks and food are out quickly. My favorite drink is the iced white chocolate mocha. I've tried both the breakfast sandwiches here between the rival and the Anaheim my favorite if the Anaheim it's a little more on the spicy side. Definitely a place to check out to get some coffee, work, and relax! read more

Rival Coffee is actually three coffee/ breakfast/ brunch places in one. They have a Sit-Down section to the right, as you come in. Straight ahead is an Order & Go setup. To the left is the Open Sitting area, which has a limited menu and is a little of both. We came here around eleven-thirty on a Sunday. There was plenty of parking outside. The Open section was moderately crowded, while the Sitdown section was completely empty, so we chose to sit there. We found the service to be uneven, with various servers appearing to take different parts of our order (coffee drinks & food, etc). We ordered our coffees as we sat down and waited a long time. Over fifteen minutes. Someone else appeared and took our breakfast order and said they would check on our coffees. Guess which arrived first? Yep, the food. We found the Breakfast Plater at $15.00 to be more than fair and generous. While it was visually appealing, it was sadly pretty bland. Since they goofed-up my food order, I was surprised that my replacement arrived before my Nitro drink. Go figure. We might come back at some point. But if we do, we will probably opt for the more crowded Open section. I guess they knew more about the service here than we did. Our tab ran us about $60, including gratuities. Three and a Half Stars. PS, they have an EV Charger outside. read more

Wanted to try a local coffee spot to change things up since the coffee bean is a bit of a drive. Walked in the back end of the shop thinking it was the front, with guidance, I was welcomed into a very spacious dining area and the counter where we place our orders. Looking over the menu I asked for a popular breakfast sandwich and the Rival Breakfast Sandwich was recommended. I ordered two along with a cafe mocha and a chai latte. The sandwiches were good, however the tomato spread kind of threw off the favor flow. Perhaps it was just a little too much on our order. The coffees had a watered down taste and didn't quite give us a "pick me up". Perhaps their coffee is lighter than what we are used to. The facility is a pretty big space for a coffee spot, however the trendy vibe I got as I was passing by peaked my interest! It's a great spot to catch up with a group of friends or a morning meet with some co-workers. We would love to swing by again and try other items on the menu. read more

The service was fantastic! Quick and easy. The location is very spacious and roomy. Really cool vibe. Had an iced hazelnut latte and it was great. The only food item I tried was the Rival Sandwich. The concept is right on and execution was perfect, however I have to be honest, I didn't really care for the sauce on the bacon. Not sure if it's together or separate, but the bacon (or the sauce) was too sweet. Just my opinion though, nothing wrong with the sandwich. The sweetener just overpowered the sandwich. I had to take the bottom bun off to finish it. Other than that, this place is fantastic. read more
