Great overall experience! The cashier answered all my questions regarding the coffee beans. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and he let me know his own personal opinions. The matcha is hand whisked (not a concentrate). I am a big fan of lavender in matcha, so I would say that this drink did the trick to satisfy my tastebuds. There was a lot of seating inside as well! Perfect for studying.

This place is located in the bougie part of Riverside. You could feel it with the energy outside and in.The staff are in no hurry to get you your drink. They also do not provide any guidance when it comes to ordering your drinks so that was a bummer. Overall, the coffee with eggnog was fair and my friend and I were able to chill inside for a couple hours.My friend really likes this place so I may be back if she chooses it again.

The drinks and food from here never disappoint, but the wait times are a little unpredictable, which makes it hard to "grab a quick bite/drink." Would definitely allocate sufficient time for the wait, as well as the parking. Atmosphere is great, smells like freshly roasted coffee, with ample space for those looking for some work/study time. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone looks like they genuinely enjoy the place!

Growing up in Riverside, there was definitely a lack of solid coffee on the Eastside. So I'm stoked that Arcade is in this neighborhood now. Their space is no frills, but the industrial Roastery feel is definitely a vibe. They have plenty of seating, and SO MANY OUTLETS. It's a great place to catch up with friends or get some work done.The drinks are straightforward, but their pour over bar and holiday drinks stole the show. I got the vanilla pine and it was delicious. The baristas are incredibly friendly, but not in a cheesy way, which is appreciated. I also love that their beans help support local nonprofits like Path of Life. Definitely come thru whenever you're in the area. Don't be deterred by the prices - they are fair for our current inflation era.

The shop is super cute. Everyone is happy and friendly. There was even a long line. Unfortunately, my cappuccino was terrible. It tasted like Folgers.And while the biscuit I ordered was tasty, it took a very long time to get it, and the "squash butter" it came with was served in a "dollop?" That literally looked like dog poo.Great ambiance, tho!

Ok what a great find for my work trip in Sacramento?! they were having some holiday syrup so i tried the vanilla pine with half the normal amount of syrup for my latte. This was just perfect amount of sweetness. He gave me a little leaf art on my latte.Nice touch! the other flavor i got was the caramel gingerbread latte. loved the vanilla more but it was still good. Notes they shared: they roast all of their own coffee and this location shows it. They make all of their own syrups.I did try the egg salad sandwich. Their description said it came with hawaiian bread but they just gave me a plain white bread... so taking off a star because i truly was expecting hawaiian bread?!

If you're looking for the perfect cozy spot to unwind, this coffee shop is a must-visit! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, thanks to the chill music playing in the background that sets a peaceful vibe. The workers are so friendly and welcominy. And let's talk about the coffee - absolutely amazing! Every cup is perfectly brewed and rich in flavor. Only downside is parking:/

Customer Service to rival the best! This place may retire my starbucks account. Food and coffee made fresh. Jordan -Greeted me, made my order, answered questionsGeorgia -Took my order, recommended great food and drinkoptions. Knowledgeable of different drinks and foods. Ryden- Brought food items to me with a smile! Loved it! Victor - He made the best avocado toast and the presentation for my bagel with salmon is so amazing!Ambiance - very chill. I can tell people are comfortable. Open spaces to do work or relax. Plenty of seating. You can actually see the coffee being grinded! So impressive! Clean too. Parking is the only hiccup. Its odd and have to pay close attention to created parking spaces. Will come again!
