Being from Portland Oregon - I know good coffee. My americano was rich, roasty, & smooth! Service was superb. The gal Vanessa who assisted me - greeted with a enthusiastic smile & was super friendly. She even educated me on how they roast the beans in house! They've got a dock that sits right over the water & is so enjoyable on a crisp Florence morning. If you're in Florence - stop by for a cup of the best joe! read more

River Roasters is an adorable coffee shop located right on the river in Florence. I ordered a chai latte and it was okay, nothing special, and lukewarm. I also got a breakfast burrito. It was on the smaller side, but delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere and space was inviting and had plenty of seating, despite being a busy Saturday morning. I really enjoyed the ambiance and would be interested in trying an espresso drink there. I definitely plan on returning. read more

I really liked this place! Nice staff and drinks were great! Small place and a really comfortable place to enjoy a drink. Friendly locals who made us " tourists" feel welcome. Growing up in a "tourist" town, I know what the influx of tourists every year is like! lol read more

I've been here maybe five times, as I don't live nearby. Last time I was let down, but today the staff were especially kind- particularly the cashier who was patient, attentive and helpful. I love this shop, so many things to look at inside, comfy seating and supportive chairs with backs,... nevermind the awesome location on the river! (Note that I only give 5 stars if my mind is blown) read more

On every trip I seem to fall in love with one place and this was it for me in Florence. Everything I could ask for in a coffee shop. Locally owned and they roast their own beans. Location was perfect in Old Town Florence practically under the Florence Bridge. To enjoy the view, they have a covered back patio and a couple picnic benches on the side as well. There was an open field next door, so lots of folks were grabbing their coffee and taking their dogs down to the river. Inside is absolutely adorable. A wall of quilts for sale and other fun home and garden trinkets. There are leather coaches and comfy chairs by a fireplace. The coffee was very good, about what I expect to pay these days at a coffee house, and my service was always good. In addition to regular whipped cream, you can also request espresso whipped cream, which was excellent. For food, they have pie, biscotti and muffins. My visit to Florence was not all wine and roses, but Siuslaw was an unqualified hit. read more

Going to or through Florence on your coast trip? Need caffeine? Probably should stop here. As someone that drinks coffee and espresso beverages often, I've stopped at a many coffee shops. They just don't compare to the experience and coffee that this little gem offers. I'd say that the atmosphere, location, and coffee equate to my overall favorite coffee shop in existence. Our journey to Suislaw River Roasters has been decades in the making, we have been coming to this coffee shop for decades. From the first time to this time, it has been an experience worth remembering. A few owners in between made zero difference in the quality of experiences of this establishment. I hope to get another decade or so in frequenting this shop for their delicious coffee! From the deliciously crafted espresso beverages of your choice (cough cough, try the Slider it's really good, best topped with their espresso whip cream), to the charismatic dining area with a unique eclectic collection of local and artisan things to purchase, or maybe enjoying a locally produced baked good they offer it is always a great place to spend your time. Moral of the review, don't overlook this little shop, stop by and it will be worth your while. read more

We loved this place while visiting Florence! The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because they were selling African Dwarf Frogs in these tiny biospheres that were not only too small for them to thrive, but also not warm enough from what I know about these kinds of frogs. It doesn't seem right to be carrying any type of animal for sale at a coffee shop especially with inadequate husbandry. read more

The cutest café with a peaceful ambience. Perfect view for journaling and self reflection.

Such a cute place!! We had drinks and a cookie and they were reasonably priced and came out hot and fast. I really liked my chai latte not too sweet or too spicy! And you can't beat the view from inside or out. Staff was friendly too! read more

From the moment you walk in it's easy to tell this is a special place that's is in the center of this community. Almost every seat indoors was full of people visiting or working in small groups. This spot is super cozy and inviting- with a fireplace. It was a beautiful sunny December weekday when we dropped in. So we opted to enjoy the outdoor patio (with heating) and a view of the river and bridge. We got my daughter a hot chocolate (served at a cooler temp, thank you), I had a peppermint hot chocolate and my husband got an Irish cream latte. There were a few food options and baked goods. Absolutely a great place to settle in and work or hang out with friends. I'm sure it's extra awesome in the summer. read more

I've been on Yelp for a while now and have found that any coffee place with a consistent 4.5 star rating over a large number of reviews in a smaller market is something special. River Roasters is living proof. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcome. But it's more than the relaxed feel to the decor and the layout, it's a sense of being home that grabs you and makes you feel good. Let's start with the coffee drinks. My girlfriend, Anna, and I went with a large Americano and my go-to drink, a medium dirty chai with almond milk. I like this drink because it separates the coffee slingers from those who actually know what they're doing. If they don't know how to steam almond milk, or the proportions are wrong, or the espresso is bitter, it shows. Both drinks were excellent, perfectly made, and smooth. We rounded it our with a super fresh apple fritter about the size of my head...so big it wouldn't fit on the plate! It was a suggestion from Leslie, one of the BEST people we met in Florence, and she was spot on. Everything was so good that we were back the next morning and had the same high quality, consistent experience...and coincidentally saw Leslie on her day off! #winning You know it's worth visiting when team members come in on their days off. So visit River Roasters, soak in the feel good vibe, and make yourself at home. read more

it was fresh. Inviting. Friendly. Efficient. really good de caf coffee. location is lovely, deck on the water, though we did a takeaway after using the clean tidy loos. clearly a local hangout as well as a tourist spot. can't find a fault...in the country town of Florence.... earns full marks read more

This is my son's favorite coffee shop in the area, so he took me here when I was in town. I can see why he likes it so much! Very cool & friendly. As a former Barista himself, Son knows his coffee and this is the place for him. I'm not a coffee drinker, but had a great cup of tea plus a light and tasty crustless quiche with cheese and bacon. Best part was sitting on the back deck enjoying the beautiful view and spotting sea lions! read more

This coffee shop is a gem. I'll be honest, didn't really expect a third wave coffee shop to be here in this small coastal town. Coffee was really good, even compared to the great coffee shops in larger cities. I'll attribute it to the beautiful tattooed barista, she's amazing. The kind of person I'd hire if I opened a coffee shop...I'm always impressed with quality work. Had Americanos. The roast was on the dark side, but that's how I like it. Decent assortment of baked good. Berry turnover was actually pretty good. Was a bit like the deep fried apple pies they used to serve at McDonalds (it's a compliment). Came here twice, sat for hours the second time. Loved the bustle of it on Sunday morning. I imagine half the guests were tourists, half locals. The view the the back patio was peaceful and beautiful. The inside was homey and country...good sense of hygge overall. read more

A really nice find while I do a road trip of the Northern Pacific Coast! Cozy and quirky interior, great hand crafted espresso and iced drinks, friendly staff and laid back atmosphere. Was able to sit on a comfy sofa and ready my book and warm up while the rain was pouring. They even have a selection of fun and eclectic gift items and assorted whole bean coffees to check out. Will definitely be back while I'm here on this visit, best coffee shop in this area! read more

We vacationed in Florence about a year ago and stopped by River Roasters. I got a Monkey Mocha and a year later I still about this coffee and look for something similar to it anywhere I go! We're planning another vacation just so I can have another coffee! 10/10 would recommend. The breakfast burrito was fantastic too. I make them at home all the time now. read more

Really good mocha and a nice view! They even had a fireplace going inside. 100% recommend.

We come here everytime we visit Florence. Their coffee is delicious and the service is always great. Our son accidentally dropped his smoothie after we ordered it and they made him a brand new one right away. Such great views of the river as well! A great environment inside and outside. read more

In Florence for the weekend and decided on a nice cup of coffee to start the day. There was a line out the door, which is usually a good sign that you hit a popular local spot. The staff worked fast to serve all the customers and were friendly under pressure. I enjoyed interacting with other guests here; it made me feel really welcome! The couches inside, heating lamps outside add elements to make this place even more inviting. There are some interesting specialty drinks on the menu. I picked a mocha and it's very nice: good balance of espresso, chocolate and not too sweet. read more

Coffee and chocolate peanut brownie were good but both employees I interacted with were extremely rude. Very disappointing!

A year later and I'm drinking the Milky Way and it's still delicious and perfect each time!

Welcome to the epicenter of wonderfulness that is Florence. River Roasters is much more than a great place to get a coffee--and they do make and serve great coffee drinks. It is also a friendly community hub, a place to say hello, meet friends, make new friends, use as a co-working space, and admire the view of the river. The staff are warm and friendly, and know how to make their customers feel at home. read more

Excellent coffee shop. My wife and I really liked our drinks and the snacks we got from here.

Tasty coffee drinks along with some desserts and gifts, all of which are reasonably priced. Pretty refreshing. Out back is a deck that looks out to the Siuslaw River, bridge and forest. Very nice, relaxing place to sip and savor the view. Great spot. read more
