    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!

    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.

    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!

    Vorhees Fog Roasted Marshmallow Colf Brew

    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!

    Vorhees Fog
    Erika C.

    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!

    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.

    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.

The…read moreladies who helped us were knowledgeable, patient, friendly, accommodating, honestly just super cool people. Sweet Latte with orange blossom and vanilla bean syrups: 5/5. I originally wanted to try just the orange blossom syrup, but the baristas suggested that vanilla bean syrup be added to tone down the potency of the orange blossom syrup while complementing it at the same time. This was a great rec since it was an enjoyable combo that didn't lose flavor after all the ice was diluted. Chocolate Chip Cookie: 5/5. A satisfying cookie that tasted better than it looks. I say this cuz I didn't see chocolate chips or chunks breaking through the dough, and the dough color was pretty pale, but looks can be deceiving, as this was a yummy treat. S'mores Brownie: 4/5. Super sweet and chocolatey and fudgy. Kinda sticky and messy due to the marshmallow topping and high sugar content, but they provide utensils for easy eating. Parking in the attached lot was quite small and cramped, but apparently there was additional parking behind the plaza. The shop was also a bit small, but some seating was available both inside and outside the shop.

As a once upon a time barista and someone who has nailed the perfect at home latte, I have a really hard time paying even $6 for a latte anymore at some of these places, so imagine my shock when I ordered their chocolate truffle latte on Valentine's Day and it was over $8 $9.43 after a $1 tip to be exact. BUT - at least it was really good! More than I can say for a lot of Twee's competitors who charge an arm and a leg and still don't deliver a quality drink! That being said - $9 good? No, I don't think any coffee is $9 good lol All of that aside - they do know what they are doing here! No bitter espresso, flavors are always balanced and their regular beverages are comparable price-wise to other shops but with superior taste to many of them! Top 3 local shops for sure. As far as the space, the ambiance it cute but it is small inside so if you come at a busier time you may not find a spot to sit and chill and you definitely won't find a spot to have private conversation. There's no real patio but they do what they can and set up as many tables and chairs outside as they can so you might be able to snag one of those.

    Stick with me, this is gonna be a long, but worth reading review…read more About 6 years ago I tried Dutch bros for the first time while visiting my grandparents in Oregon. They lived near the original location. It wasn't busy and they gave me a ton of random stickers. So since then, Dutch has always been my favorite coffee spot and the stickers have always been my fav thing to look forward to on the 1st Wed of the month. Every year I'd visit my grandparents and Dutch bros was always a stop, sometimes twice in a day! Fast forward to now, we have a Dutch 10 min away and tonight I totally realized I forgot to stop by for my sticker. They were all out and I was lowkey so bummed because my favorite color is blue, and I love checkers everything (it's the millennial in me). Daisy stepped away for a moment and brought back a sticker! Her sticker. She gave me the one she got as an employee. I know it's just a sticker, but Daisy, you made my night. My grandma just passed away last week and life has been kinda rough lately. Dutch always reminds me of her and my grandparents house.
