Og avocado toast
Gina L.

I met up a few family members here and we had a great experience. The place has a lot of space and was busy so we were unsure how long it would take to get out coffee and good - surprisingly they were fast! I ordered a cold brew with vanilla bean and their Anaheim breakfast dandwich. Although sandwich didn't look like the picture on their website, it was still delicious. My husband ordered a cold brew with a grilled cheese from the kids menu and enjoyed his food. The staff was very nice and although we don't live close, I would love to stop by again when in town!

Carne Loaded Asada Fries

Love the coffee and flavor varieties here! We had the crème brûlée iced latte with almond milk, carne asada fries and grilled cheese kids meal with fries. The fries are seasoned well and thick but not steak fries. The carne asada and fixings were fresh and flavorful, not the Mexican taco shop kind but it's good! Absolutely love the coffee as well. I've been here a few times for their coffee and is a great place for girl dates or place to work. Added bonus is their drive thru ;)

Came in because they had a bogo deal on coffee, I also got a sandwich. The sandwiche was good, a little spicy but tasty. The coffees were a nice blend of coffee and cream. I loved the Togo bag. Easy to order online and walked in to pick up. Inside was clean, plenty of chairs and space .

There's tons of boxes just to the right and in front of the bakery display.

First time here. Lots of parking and a drive through. Walking in the area seemed in disarray. There's bags of beans and boxes in front of the baked goods. I ordered the crème brûlée half sweet and it didn't wow me. First the 16oz felt only half filled and there was no hint of crème brûlée. I also picked up a snickerdoodle cookie, nothing amazing there either. It fills the need but there's also other options near by.

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.

The food and coffee are reasonably priced. Service is quick and friendly. They even have an in-house coffee grinder. Coffee is smooth. They have a good variety of options for breakfast or brunch. Very spacious inside with WiFi access. I saw many patrons using the areas for computer access. They also have outside seating with umbrella shades. I am curious to try something new in the future. They also have a drive-thru.

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.

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.

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

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

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!!

Mexi Cali Loco Moco
Life with L.

I have frequently stopped at Rival when I'm making the drive down the 15 freeway to San Diego. I think the coffee is absolutely delicious. It's not overly sweet which I appreciate. My go-to is an iced white mocha. I also appreciate that they have a decaf option. The food I have found is hit or miss depending on what you order. This last time I got the Mexi-Cali loco bowl I think it was called. It had carne asada, rice, egg, and sauce which was really good. The staff members have always been nice; good environment overall.

The Keto Carnitas breakfast plate. Dont remember what they called it.

5 STARS! They have updated their menu to include several gluten free items and a Keto breakfast item. The carnitas were very good!

The interior has a really nice modern aesthetic, with plenty of tables and an open layout that makes the space feel comfortable rather than cramped. One thing I noticed was that there was quite a bit of smoke or haze inside, to the point where it was irritating my company's eyes. Hopefully that was just something specific to the day, but we did have to move from the second floor to the bottom floor. I tried the Cinnamon Toast Latte and the Watermelon Refresher. Both were decent, but neither really stood out to me. The latte had a nice cinnamon flavor, while the refresher was light and refreshing with a bit of a kick. There are plenty of tables, so finding somewhere to sit wasn't an issue. Most of the outlets were already occupied, though, so I'd keep that in mind if you're specifically coming here to work or study. Despite the size of the space and number of people, it was surprisingly quiet during my visit, which made it a comfortable place to get some work done. Overall, I liked the atmosphere and amount of space, but the drinks were more average for me. I'd come back to try something else, especially if the smoke issue isn't typical.

Their cinnamon roll is made in the French style- flaky like a croissant. You'll never have a bite and think 'that's too doughey' or 'not enough cinnamon'. It is an excellent cinnamon roll!

Omelettes come with NO TOAST. You want toast? That'll be an extra $5.50. A whopping $4 for paper thin slices of bread toasted. An extra $1.50 if you're some kind of spoiled brat and want a little butter or a little bit of prepackaged jam for your thin slices of cold toast. I was grateful for the fact that they have a sparsely furnished indoor dining room to eat your breakfast in rather than forcing you to hover over one of their only two outdoor tables on the rain, in the heat or in the cold. No WiFi whatsoever. I suppose WiFi is too expensive to splurge on in their book. They provide a cauldron of hot coffee and one of ice water for waiting guests. The cauldron was empty by the time I arrived (11:00 Ammon a Monday). Their container of creamer was also empty. This was particularly annoying since I paid an extra $4.50 (before taxes or tip) for a cup of coffee with breakfast. This made me wish I'd opted to eat anyplace else but here today. You're expected to tip BEFORE you take a seat at any of their tables. As you can see from my receipt posted alongside this review I tipped $5 in advance. To be fair, their owner (who worked as the only waiter in their dining room) strikes me to be a good person. Only street parking is available to this tiny restaurant. Your meal comes with a fork and knife. Only one thin paper napkin and NO SPOON.

The line will likely be out the door but that's just because they have great customer service and they don't rush you when you're at the counter ordering. The time could probably be alleviated a little if they had the food and season menu posted more than just at the counter. If they have the Apple Cinnamon Poptart, get it! So yummy warmed up. The crust is so buttery and delicious with the warm apple cinnamon filling. The Dark Chocolate Tahini Latte was wonderful iced. Not too sweet and you could taste the complexity of the flavor combo. Green Mango Tea I'm not a fan of mango but I could drink this again and again. We had it sweetened with agave. The Breakfast Sandwich was good. The sourdough bread they use is great!
