Wow, just wow. Lived in Riverside my entire life and nothing else compares to the joy of a fresh cup of coffee, blueberry scone, and a omelette on a Saturday morning! (except when your daughter picks up the grandkids from your house after a weekend...any Gee-gee's with crazy grandkids relate LOL ) The omelette dish I get is always so well cooked. I always notice the attentive work of each of the employees and love seeing them bustle about making costumers days! I can't seem to remember the sweet girl who took my order, but my honey cinnamon latte was is my new yum treat! While I wait in line, it is exciting to see the bakers fill the front with warm pastries and I can't help but wonder how they work so fast? I don't mind paying here because the experience is worth it to me.

I came here a couple weeks ago to grab coffee and some food, and although we got our drinks pretty quickly (5-10 mins) we were kept waiting for 50 minutes for our food. When I came up to ask about the wait, we were told our orders had been lost in the system, and that they would put in our order and refund us the cost. We ended up receiving the food and it was pretty good! Coffee was also good, I liked my double espresso. It was a little more diluted than I usually prefer but tasted very strong and full-bodied without being burnt so no complaints there. We ended up reaching out to Arcade Roasters about our experience, and they made sure we got refunded for the wait and even threw in a gift certificate for us to use on our next visit. Great customer service, and I will certainly be back.

This coffee shop is so nice and outside seating on a nice day is so nice. We cane for the coffee and ended up having breakfast. Their chorizo egg n potatoes is so good and filling. Only on weekends. Enjoy!

Stellar coffee! Friendly people! Great vibes! I'm completely sold on Arcade Coffee Roasters and am now a regular here at this location. That's my review :) (Yelp is telling me that I need to type up at least 85 words or something wild like that but I have nothing further to add. This is just filler so that my review posts) Vanilla latte: 4.5/5 Cold brew: 4.5/5 Blueberry citrus scone: 5/5

We ordered 2 Smoked Salmon Benny, iced draft latte, hot chai, iced butterscotch oat milk latte and the Jalapeño scone. Total with tax& tip was almost $70, pricey but what isn't nowadays. I'd rather support local coffee shops. Food was 7/10 . Jalapeño scone was more like a focaccia , which I didn't mind at all. The lattes were decent, not robust enough for me. Next time, I'll ask for an extra shot. Just my opinion. Seemed like everyone sitting inside were quietly studying, there's a nice area with a small water feature and plenty of tables to sit outside. I'm looking forward to trying the carrot cake French toast on my next visit.

Prices are high for coffee but i really like their pastries! I love the location and brightness of their interior. There is a nice patio area where you can sit as well. The only downside is that they often play their music very loud, so it's a bit difficult to converse or study.

I ordered an omelette and it was GREAT staff and service was amazing compliments to chef Anthony it was awesome will definitely be coming back
Have gone here a few times and the food is good, the drinks are usually tasty, however the service is inconsistent. Have never minded the wait for quality coffee but during this recent visit, there were two mistakes when our order was taken. When we received our order we noticed a drink was missing and the other was made with the wrong milk. The person at the front register had a great attitude, just typed it in wrong (no big deal! It happens). My issue was how rude the barista was when we asked about our order. He showed us our receipt and didn't give us any options of how we could fix it. We had already waited for 25 minutes which was not an issue but to wait that again seemed unnecessary for a small order issue. Unfortunately we left without one of our drinks and had to throw out another because it was made with the wrong milk.

Service was nice, but the iced chai latte was not as expected for the price. Tasted like water down milk with cinnamon sprinkled on top. Would not recommend :(

This is a quaint little coffee shop with a decent selection and tasty food options. I tried the arcmuffin for breakfast, and despite the bacon being a bit too thick for my liking, it was still a very satisfying sandwich. The ambiance of the place adds to the charm, making it a great spot to grab a quick bite or catch up with friends. However, I wouldn't recommend the matcha latte, it didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, a cute café with amazing service and generally good breakfast items in the IE.

Was passing by with my daughter and smelled something so amazing. Ended up following the smell here. Westin was so helpful and kind. His whole energy was nice and kind. He helped us pick our food. We got the Arcmuffin and the Steak Sando. It was so good. The place was so packed which definitely says something about the food. Only thing I would say is even though they may be busy they can’t forget safety. One of the staff spilled the latte and she was so quick to wipe it with a napkin but didn’t get it all. I seen that she was busy so I cleaned it up. Other than that it was perfect. Love the environment, great music. Need more people like Westin.
