I still love Rival Coffee! I rated them a little less simply because the last few times I've ordered, I've had to change my order because the menu item is not available or no longer an item. The coffee options are still top notch! read more

Friendly staff, good food, gorgeous place.... but why in the world don't your food preparer wear masks?! You had me, I was ready for the commitment. :( read more

I love coming to this place for a quick sunday breakfast. Their Breakfast Pasta and crème brûlée latte are to die for. Big shoutout to Kaylynn. Amazing customer service and overall one of the nicest baristas i've met to date. read more

Went here today for 2 scrambles and a breakfast burrito both was garbage. I am disappointed we fell in love with the place food was great. Bacon missing from scramble and burrito was full of tortilla. read more

5 stars every time! Such an amazing business. Where do I begin? The staff always greet you with a smile and deliver the best coffee in the area, (never sipping *bucks again!) and now we've come to love their food. I recently had the burger and let me tell you, cooked to perfection. The only issue I had was the size of it I didn't know where to begin! We will be back again and again. 5 stars rival coffee! read more

In early February my son and I stopped in around 10am for coffee and breakfast. We sat at a table in the restaurant to enjoy our delicious meals in the happy, bustling café. Then an urgent, sudden personal health emergency arose and we had to leave immediately. We gathered up our food and departed. Hours later - at 5:30 p - I realized that in our haste I had left my purse behind, hanging on the back of my chair. Since I live in Massachusetts, I had my identification, credit cards and an unusually large amount of cash with me -- all in the purse. The Rival had already closed at 5 pm; I couldn't call them. I had a bad feeling about finding my purse. The next morning I stopped in when they opened to see if they had found it. The answer: YES!!!! After we left the day before a customer spotted it and brought it to the young women at the counter, who hid it in a safe, clever place hoping I would come back for it. As soon as I walked in the next morning they recognized me (oldest customer ever???), explained they had my purse, and gave it to me immediately. These young women, and the customer who turned the purse in to them, are absolutely the kindest, most concerned, honest and thoughtful people. They absolutely put my well being first. I was a stranger and they were wonderful to me. I highly recommend that if you are looking for an out of the ordinary spot, stop in here. These good people will help you and you will have a fine, filling and creative breakfast. read more

The customer service here is terrible. I stood at the counter waiting to order and wasn't greeted or told "I'll be with you in a moment." I had to leave because no one was going to take my order. This has happened way too many times. I will not be returning. read more

This place is amazing! The vibe is so hip and the interior design is not your average coffee shop. I had the Egg Scrambler Bowl...the best scrambler I've ever had! I also ordered the Honey Vanilla Cream Latte...Delightful! It's not too overbearingly sweet. The energy is so upbeat and positive, it makes you want to stay and hang out. read more

Ekkk. Not one person from the person taking your order to the people making your orders were wearing masks...ok masks mandates are lifting....ok...then the girl taking our order was literally coughing...mmm ok I'm sure it's all fine. But then I saw our food being made and the guy making our food, who was wearing gloves, stuck his hand in the bowl of fries put some in our burrito and then ate some of the fries and then put more in my burrito; that just doesn't seem sanity. The burrito was fine in taste, we also got the avocado toast which was nothing to write home about. Overall the food was eh and the food safety was questionable. The place has a cool vibe, but that is all it has going for it. read more

I really don't want to be scathing but this needs to be said (no bias intended). I will not be returning to Rival and here's why: 1st visit: As I'm only in town for a little over a month, I've been trying to find a great cup of coffee. When I asked the employee if they served pour over's, he looked at me like I was crazy. He asked another employee who also responded similarly and I immediately felt awkward for wanting a standard cup of coffee that could even be found at Starbucks. 2nd visit: I gave them a second chance for lunch! I placed my order online and went in for pickup. While it was a little unorganized at the counter, I figured it was a lunch rush. Got home, opened my breakfast sandwich and found NO MEAT! Frustrated, I called the number on my receipt. They apologized and issued a digital gift card to visit again. I really should have stopped there. 3rd visit: Went through the drive thru. When I went to pay with my gift card, they said it had a zero balance. Awkwardly, I just paid in full. I let them know the gift card was issued by a manager. One person didn't know what to do. Another person then replaced with physical gift card. Too bad I will never return. I hate to say it, but just go to Starbucks. read more

The carnitas stack was bomb at one time not sure what happened. They need to work on getting new cooks!

Thought it was good. A bit loud for my coffee drinking experience. Efficient service, pleasant staff.

Cute coffee shop! Food and coffee are amazing!!! I'm from LA so this fits right in where I come from.

Sophia is awesome! This place rocks!! I absolutley love the environment. Perfect place to amp up and study or meet a client for a lunch meeting. This is my favorite coffee shop, hands down. Excellent customer service, great food and a variety of drinks. My productivity skyrockets everytime I am here. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. You'll be glad you did. Oh, and bring the kids if you want too. Their strawberry donut is amazing. read more

I love the atmosphere at this place. The staff is friendly and will help pick the prefect drink. I like their coffee and food but just wish it was a little cheaper. read more

The coffee is ok and pricey. I've had better and wouldn't go out of my way to go here. Better than Starbucks though if that is even a bar. Dispite the COVID restrictions there was a bunch of people sitting inside without masks on. Currently Riverside County is not allowing inside dining, to go only. read more

This is my local coffee shop that I have spent countless hours in these last few months. There is something about this place that feels so warm and inviting. Every time I am here, I am greeted with a smile and a friendly person behind the counter which brings joy to my day. You can buy coffee anywhere, but to get that genuine, personalized service is rare. Shelby today made my day when I walked in after church. The team you have hired is phenomenal and it shows in their service and actions daily. read more

This place is really good, the food is really good but the customer service is even better. Had a little mishap, but the owner took care of it personally. I usually come here about once a week and will continue it's very good, support small business! read more

Coffee was just ok. I had a regular coffee and my wife had a latte. It just wasn't good enough to substantiate spending a bit more and driving a little further to avoid the major competitors. My kids hot chocolate was pretty good though. (Aside from the fact they don't have kids sizes. Just buy a couple stacks of smaller cups for the occasional kid that comes in and charge half price). The staff was very friendly and the shop was nicely laid out. Plenty of seating, space and appeared to be very clean. The cups/lids were pretty fancy but unnecessary. I don't know the cost of them but I would venture to guess that they cost a lot to supply and, therefore, make the price to the consumer higher. The most irritating part was the noise level. They had very upbeat music playing that was way too loud. (This seems to be a trend with these non-corporate style coffee shops). My wife, kid and I couldn't hear each other. The cashier and I couldn't hear each other. I felt like I was at a club and not a coffee shop. Thankfully we were getting it to go because I would have not wanted to stay there for very long. I would probably return just to try the food. Aside from that, unfortunately I have not found an alternative for the corporate coffee spots. read more

My husband and I love coming here random weekends for coffee and breakfast. We usually get the rival breakfast sandwich which is pretty good and an iced vanilla latte. Love the open parking and ample seating space they offer. read more

I've tried Rival twice and love it. I got a matcha latte recently and love that its not as sweet as Starbucks matchas. The food has been great! Fresh and not a mess like you get from most drive thrus. The drive thru may be long but I think its worth it for the quality. The woman at the window saw I had two kids in th back and offered cookies. Thank you, Rival! Happy to see a fresh new and unique spot in my community. read more

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

This place has good food and coffee however the outside drive Thur smells while ordering and very dirty makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Other than i don't think the girls who work here should be wearing crop tops with belly buttons and nipples showing in front of kids. This is my only complaint read more

This place is great! From ambiance to coffee to food to the staff and their customer service. Nice and open, unique and beautiful decor. I got the pumpkin spice over ice- delish and the cinnamon bun- drool. Others in my party got the avo toast, loaded oatmeal, and a breakfast bowl that looked amazing. Will definitely be back. Good location, and the best part is the staff saying "Have the best day!"- I just love that because it's different and sets them apart. Side note: As for someone mentioning no one wearing masks, not true and every staff member was wearing their masks properly and if you're that worried about it STAY HOME! They support medical exemptions, as they should, and the fact that weighted your review in regards to masks says a lot about you. Know the real statistics from the CDC and not what the news tells you. read more

I was very excited to see a mom and pop coffee shop open in Murrieta. However, I don't know how it costs $4.35 for a cup of coffee with oat milk but I feel like I was scammed. Considering it says $3 on the menu, the charge for oat milk and tax shouldn't equate to $1.35. It's the principal of the matter. I wouldn't mind paying extra for an independent coffee shop coffee but the coffee is weak. I'll stick to roasting my Philz and Intelligentsia at home. It's nice to support small businesses and I try to, but it's also important to serve a quality product when that is advertised. It is what it is. I don't get the hype but I'm assuming the positive reviews are from people who don't appreciate strong coffee. Notice how they all buy food? Weak coffee that tastes like water. Over priced and over charged. Won't be back. read more

Food is super good coffee is not. We've tried it 4 diff times and the food is always super super good but we've never liked any of our drinks. Drive thru and location makes this place very convenient! read more

If you want the greatest breakfast burrito ever you have come to the right place. With bacon or sausage and the avo mash, there is something about the way they make it that has my stomach jumping with joy with every bite. Wife had the pancakes and she swears they are the best pancakes she has ever tasted, the vanilla sauce they put on top of them makes them that much better, they only put a little on them but if you ask for some more on the side they will happily give it to you. The coffee is delicious as well and the service is great! We are not from around here but now every time we are close by we make it a requirement to stop by to grab a bite. read more

Staff is warm and friendly, food is fabulous. Loved the AvoToast with a poached egg on top. My honey had the Breakfast sandwich, it had plenty of flavor. The pastries are a bit small but flavorful. the coffe concoctions are yummy too. Definitely a must try. read more

Met some friends at Rival for the first time. It was nice to go somewhere different than the usual coffee shop (you know where I'm talking about). My barista was knowledgeable about the drinks they serve and they've got some great recipes compared to you know who. I was a little disappointed when I wanted to order one of their coffee cocktails and they didn't have all the ingredients. That was a bummer, but no worries. I'll be back and hopefully everything will be in place. This could be our new favorite meet up place. Give it a try. read more

Enjoy the coffee & breakfast here! But the customer service is definitely my reason for the review. They are incredibly nice & helpful (I'm not always sure what to order next) 10/10 recommend! read more

First visit was a total success. The service was fast and friendly. The Avo toast was fresh and made with high quality ingredients. A great value for just $7. I asked for a recommendation from the barista and had a Honey Vanilla Cream Latte and it was outstanding. I joined their rewards program and will be a returning customer for sure. read more
