A bit smaller than their other location but just as fun and spooky! The drinks are delicious and not too sweet, which is always a plus for me! Staff is friendly and always have recommendations. The decore is awesome and perfect for photo opps. Will definitely be returning since this location is closer.
What a gem of a discovery. This coffee shop has a lot of fun horror film decor, and themed drinks. They have some of the classics on their menu, but also have some themed drinks that are really fun. The service here is great as the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful and friendly when I came in and was deciding on what to order. I ended up getting one of 'the fogs'. The Cenobites Fog to be exact - a fun homage to Hellraiser. It was super tasty and had a fun little design on top. But seriously, this coffee shop is equal parts fun, horror film museum, and coffee shop. I was just thinking how much my nephew would love this place as he's really into horror movies.
Obsessed with this coffee spot!!!!! Gosh, I wish there were more of these all around Southern California! I'm so happy they opened the Riverside location. Recently, they had a horror pop-up event. It was the perfect excuse to try out the coffee. It did not disappoint! All of the spooky names of the drinks were fun! I loved that they make designs of your favorite characters. I wanted to get the Mike Myers drink or the Jason one so I could have the face on my coffee lol Taste wise though I thought those would be too strong for me. I ordered the white chocolate raspberry drink and it was delicious! It had a sweetness and the white chocolate and raspberry flavor was yummy! My husband ordered the worm drink and it came with gummy worms in the top lol Love it! The theme is amazing and the drinks are chillingly frightening. What more could you ask for?! This place rocks!!
When I pulled up to Roast of the Dead. I didn't expect much. The exterior was unassuming, with just a few people lingering outside looking at some items for sale on shelves. It felt like just another quick pit stop on a road trip. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! The moment I stepped inside, the atmosphere was completely transformed. The horror theme really works. I thought it was it's quirky, immersive, and fun. Not only was the interior a pleasant surprise, but their coffee was genuinely really good. It's clear they put as much effort into their brews as they do their aesthetic. The experience was topped off by the service, which was fast and friendly. It's the perfect blend of great hospitality and high-quality product in a unique environment. Don't let the exterior fool you--it's a truly memorable coffee shop experience.
First timers and we loved it! The vibes were spooky of course! The service was super kind we showed up 10 minutes before closing and we felt so bad we didn't want to be those people but the staff made us feel so welcomed and told us not to worry about it. They answered any questions we had and we ended up getting two blended drinks and a blueberry lemonade. My son loved his shark blood drink with the shark gummies on top. The blended drinks were just as great we'll have to go back for their espresso. We'll be back for sure!
Always enjoy the first location. This place is not really in a good location but the inside is big. It feels kind of empty inside but the decorations are cool. I ended up getting Child's Play with extra shots of espresso. It was good and if I didn't add the shot of espresso it might have been too sweet for me. But the flavor is awesome! I feel like this location has room for merchandise to sell. I just wish this place wasn't so far off the freeway.
My wife loves Halloween and she's been wanting to come check this place out for a while. They were having an event this weekend with popups selling Halloween stuff. Fun spot to take some pictures and get some bomb ass coffee absolutely way better than Starbucks hands-down!! service was great even after the fact that the place was super full. Had to wait a while in line to order but definitely worth it. They were playing some death metal music definitely Vibin with almost felt like throwing some people around and starting a mosh pit.
Always looking for new coffee shops to try and Roast the Dead was a great experience. Lots of fun horror ambiance and places to sit. I really enjoyed the very low lighting that really added to the aesthetic and creepy atmosphere. A great place to try out yourself or to WOW a date that likes horror movies and coffee. I ordered the Vorhees Fog and it was absolutely the best cold foam I have ever had. Nice and thick as not all cold foams, cream caps, soft tops etc. are equal! My coffee had 3 distinct color levels and I really enjoyed my coffee and the overall experience. Two people were working on a Saturday and they were friendly and quick with orders. I will be back!
Horror and coffee just work together. I can't explain it. It just DOES. So when I found that Roast the Dead Coffee opened a location in Riverside I knew I had to try it. Located in possibly one of the most low key strip malls in the city (behind Savers), Roast the Dead isn't something you'd find in passing. However you forget about all that once you walk in. The fun horror theme is at the forefront of this large dimly lit space. The menu is big and sometimes things get sold out. The drinks were delicious but not cheap! But what is these days? Service was super friendly and patient with this first timer. Location aside, Roast the Dead is an awesome little coffee shop. The service, interior and most important of all, the drinks were great. I'll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!
A hidden gem in Riverside! I couldn't picture a coffee shop in this shopping center but I was blown away with how great the inside looks. If you like horror, you'll love this place. They do an amazing job making it as dark as possible inside. It was very clean and spacious. Coffee was SO GOOD, lots of great choices. Look forward to coming back and trying something new.
Returned for a Basic Witch Mocha Cold Brew with Half & Half. The service was friendly, the coffee was flavorful, and they were showing Black Phone while waiting. Such a fun caffeinated experience!
Spooky Coffee place here in Riverside! It's like a Halloween theme here all year round, lol! Wanted something spooky so I was recommended to try on their menu the Voorhees Fog Marshmallow cold brew. Has a display face of Jason on the top. So cool and delicious too! This place is open all year round so stop by if you're ever in the area of this part of Riverside! Will be back to try another one of their menu specialty drinks Service was awesome! Drink came out quick and it was actually a worker that recommend me the drink since it was my first time there. Great recommendation!
I loved it so much! I can't remember the girls name that helped me at the register, but she was very nice and helpful. We didn't know what to order at first because we were so amazed with everything and reading all of the drink names they have and she was very nice in helping us understand the drinks and it was just a great experience overall really good vibes. I got the "worms Michael" the lost boys is my favorite movie which was super cool and it tasted really good, my husbands coffee was supper yummy as well
I have visited this location several times & it is always great!the interior is amazing! a lot of memorabilia & full of spooky vibes. cool posters all around & plenty of seating they were also streaming Terrifier while I was in there. I tried myers fog & it was delicious! service is quick! plenty of parking as it is near a larger plaza there's also a savers nearby, so that's a plus for thrifting & coffee! read more

As a huuuge horror film fan, I've been wanting to try this coffee shop for a while since moving to Corona, and I have to say I was not disappointed! As you're entering the location, it's dark and you see all their spooky decor, lots of awesome characters in there like Jason, Ghostface, and the Nun.The service is also really welcoming, shoutout to the kind employees for explaining their menu options and giving us some recommendations. We tried the Mental Mango green tea which had a really delicious green tea taste and sweet notes of mango. We also had the Vorhees Fog, (cold brew with marshmallow cold foam) it had a really cute chocolate "13" design on top of the cold foam, and the coffee itself is really good quality, super smooth and paired really well with the creamy marshmallow flavoring of the foam. Would 100% recommend coming here for both the thrilling experience and the tasty drinks! read more

Cute little stop on our way home from LA. It's a small little horror coffee shop filled with horror movie icon items. I got the red velvet Freddy Krueger iced latte, honestly was expecting super sweet. Was quite pleasantly sweet. Loved that it was read and green. My daughter got an Oreo blended drink(non coffee) she loved it, reminded her of a shake. It's a little ways from the freeway but I didn't mind the drive. Owner was super friendly and welcoming. read more
Love the horror theme. A lot of work went into this wall to wall. Dark and creepy atmosphere highlighting all of the horror classics. And guess what! Their drinks are awesome too. I had the voorhees fog and it was so rich and creamy. The marshmallow topping was so good and surprisingly delicious when mixed with the coffee. There were so many other options I want to try so I will keep making the one hour drive to try them all out. Well worth the trip. read more

Very overpriced, very underwhelming and very disappointing. $11 for a large basic oat milk latte with pumps of syrup and still have the audacity to ask for a tip definitely not. Not good coffee beans. If you're vegan coming here to try out the specialty lattes, just know apparently NONE of them can be veganized. You'll just have to get a standard coffee with pumps of syrup, which at that point you can easily make at home or get at any other coffee shop for literally half the price. The price doesn't justify the unpleasant location, the taste of the drinks, the interior or the customer service. You can literally get a latte cheaper and better than this in Newport Beach, OC/LA. Cherry on top is the customer service isn't the best, while in line there was one employee and a couple in front of me but when I arrived the couple had already ordered. The employee saw me and continued to just talk to the couple for about 5 minutes I was just standing there watching her talk about one of her previous trips, instead of making drinks and/or attending to me first. She could've easily told them to give her a minute, taken my order then continued the conversation with them while making drinks but her priorities weren't there. I felt ignored and I was about to walk out but I really had high hopes for this place and thought it would be just as good, if not better than Rad Coffee in Long Beach & Upland, it's not, first and last time I'll be here. They need to improve on many areas if they plan to survive in this economy because just being a horror themed coffee shop, isn't enough. read more

Dark and spooky cafe offering drinks themed as your favorite horror story. We stopped here during our road trip and this will definitely be our spot to stop in the future. The drinks the staff recommended were great and strong enough to keep us going. It's horror themed and dark so its a great spot to mingle with friends or a first date. I brought my family however since we are horror fanatics. They offered a scary pop up shop as well. read more

The coffee is really good, especially with the whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and chocolate syrup making it feel like a dessert drink. I liked how the presentation matched the Halloween theme and made the drinks stand out. The red and yellow lighting gave the place a spooky but cool vibe. The decorations made the atmosphere feel exciting and different from a regular coffee shop. Overall, I thought it was a fun place to grab a sweet coffee read more

I've been meaning to try this place for awhile! I came on a Thursday afternoon. Upon entering, I was immersed into complete darkness. Definitely fits a Halloween vibe! The only light seen was coming from the kitchen, the TV, and the neon signs they have displayed. They have horror movie displays like Friday the 13th around the shop. There was a dining area by the TV and a couch by the entrance. The TV was playing a horror movie, which I believe they play movies on all day. I walked up to the kitchen to look at their menu. I had a hard time deciding what to get, so I asked the barista what she recommended. She asked what I was feeling and I said coffee but not too strong. She recommended a latte and listed some options. I decided to get the toasted marshmallow, which I believe is the Voorhees fog. I didn't wait too long, probably only 2 minutes. The drink was completely orange, with orange whipped cream! Definitely unique. There were few people in the shop, some sitting by the TV, others by the couch. I loved the taste! I would definitely come back! Thanks! :) read more

Calling All Coffee and Horror Fanatics! Love Love Love this place. Coffees are great I love the many different fogs with all kinds of cold foams and different sugar free options. Even if you don't drink coffee I would also recommend the Helter Skelter Tea Best place to come for a chill vibe with great baristas and a killer playlist. They always have a horror flick on the screen and fun themed drinks for certain holidays or seasons read more
