    Shout out too Desaree, I hope I spelt it correctly! Her customer service is outstanding, she did a beautiful gesture for my husband and I this morning and we appreciate her kindness!! Not all angels wear capes!! Thank you Desaree.

    Boba is little disappointing, hard inside and not chewy... couldn't tell if coffee inside.

    It was early morning and no one was there I order a Cappuccino and a chocolate croissant, the croissant was a pretty nice size and it tasted good. It was nice and flaky.. surprisingly the Cappuccino had a good taste as well. It wasn't water down but had a nice strong taste to it.. as it should.. the service was nice , helpful girl taking my order and was polite. The ambiance in the morning is nice and quiet inside and just the homeless outside the streets lol. But overall a good location to grab a quick cup of coffee

    After a long wait at the ABC licensing office, I stopped by for a much-needed coffee and opted for a dirty chai to perk me up. The customer service was excellent, and I didn't have to wait long for my drink. Both the interior and exterior were clean. Overall it was great!

    Great place to come and get a delicious tea of coffee. Came here to warm up from visiting the mission inn Festival of Lights. Very quiet peaceful place with nice mellow indie music playing

    Caramel Ice Blended drink

    I ordered three coffee blended drinks and didn't get any whip cream on all of them , I thought that was common sense , didn't think I had to ask for it, for that I am leaving a low rating. Stick to Starbucks

    10/10 recommend

    We originally went in to use the restroom and decided to get a drink because Bruno is so Beautiful and the music had us dancing our asses off. The baristas joined in on the fun(: it was a vibe!!! the drinks came out AMAZINGGG!!! We even made plans to go hiking and dancing on too of mount rubidoux soon! YAY FOR COMMUNITY

    Back to the Grind has one of the most unique coffee shop atmospheres in downtown Riverside. It's…read morethe kind of place where you can grab a drink, sit down for a while, and just enjoy the creative vibe around you. There's always something interesting going on with the art, music, and people hanging out. The coffee and drinks are solid, and the staff has always been friendly whenever I've stopped by. It's a great place to relax, meet up with friends, or even get some work done. Definitely one of the more iconic coffee spots in Riverside.

    SERVICE here is VERY BAD!…read more I rarely leave negative reviews, but the service at Back to the Grind was genuinely one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've had. While I was in the middle of placing my order, an older black gentleman wearing glasses abruptly walked away from me mid-conversation to speak with someone he knew. No acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. I was left standing there confused and waiting while they casually chatted amongst themselves. At the same time, my husband approached another employee -- a young woman with very long black hair and a pink bandana (see pic)-- simply to ask for the WiFi password. Without even looking at him, she told him he needed to "buy something first." When he explained that I was already ordering, she repeated herself in a dismissive tone and continued making sandwiches without making eye contact once. What stood out most wasn't just the lack of hospitality, but the overall attitude from multiple staff members. The environment felt cold, dismissive, and inconvenienced by customers being there at all. Ironically, the café advertises community classes like yoga and live meditation classes on the window, yet basic customer service and professionalism seem completely absent. The food itself was fine, which is why this review is specifically about the service experience. Even after how poorly we were treated, I still left a tip because I refuse to match that level of disrespect. Management seriously needs to address the customer service culture here. One rude interaction can happen anywhere -- but multiple employees displaying the same behavior reflects a larger issue.

Their pastries are also really good and pair perfectly with a coffee or seasonal drink. The space itself is clean, modern, and has a really trendy, inviting vibe. It's the kind of place you actually want to sit and stay awhile, whether you're catching up with someone or just enjoying some time to yourself. Every visit has been consistently great--nothing has ever disappointed. Overall, Arcade Coffee is a solid go-to in Riverside if you want good drinks, good pastries, and a nice atmosphere.

    Came in excited and left... with mixed feelings…read more Let's start with the good Food and drinks came out fairly quickly The food presentation was definitely there. It looked like it was made with love. The egg+cheese sandwich absolutely carried the experience (seriously, give that thing a raise), and the matcha held its own as it was refreshing! Now the not so great... the huevos rancheros were unfortunately very, very, salty.. but I didn't want my money to go to waste so I made myself eat it.. The coffee was bitter, pretty but bitter. I usually like bitter coffee but this one caught me off guard haha The Customer service wasn't great.. The server asked if we needed anything else but was already walking away before we could answer. Overall, the matcha and egg+cheese sandwich was the best part from this experience. I would recommend those two.
