Arcade Coffee Roasters - The Bakehouse

Wow, riverside... your coffee game has come up since I attended college decades ago.Arcade coffee is top tier! I really really enjoyed their iced americano & iced vanilla latte. The Americano was so smooth & nutty- just how I like it. We also tried the browned butter carrot muffin and wowie, I'm still dreaming about it. I will definitely stop by again if I'm ever in town or driving thru. Or.... Can you guys open in OC?? :)The inside is simple & cute! Service was quick & super friendly. Will have to try more baked goodies & foods next time!

I'm so sad to be writing my first "negative" review, but unfortunately, this place deserved it :(The customer service was subpar. The guy at the register was uninterested as he took our order. To make matters worse, the cafe doesn't allow substitutions yet they'll gladly remove items without a price reduction (so you pay full price for less product).My latte was decently good, but I'm not a coffee enthusiast so I can't be sure. My boyfriend got the matcha- he IS a matcha enthusiast- and he said it was average. Nothing too special.Onto the food, it was so upsetting that I won't even be including a picture. The brekkie sammie was EXTREMELY greasy, way too heavy for breakfast/brunch. There was almost no aioli on my sandwich. The bacon was overcooked, very tough and chewy- I basically had to discard it because my teeth hurt and it was difficult to swallow.Overpriced. Disappointing :( Hopefully you guys have a better experience!

I've visited this cafe shop 5-10 times while living in Riverside. PROS: - The coffee is very good and their matcha drinks is also very good. - The atmosphere is good for studying and there are plenty of tables and outlets if you plan to do work. CONS:- I ordered a hot drink and the lid adid not create a proper seal with the cup, so my drink spilled on my shirt numerous times. This has happened to me 2-3 times.- Their food menu was also very top tier before, however, recently they demoted to a "to-go" menu with subpar food and it is disappointing because I really favored and went out of my way to get food from their previous menu. - Other customers and patrons adhere to cafe ettiquete of speaking softly while on the phone and or talking to others, but workers do not. It is disruptive to loudly discuss work situations and dilemmas in the seating area. I hope the place can invest in an employee lounge so that these disruptive and loud conversations do not occur on the floor in front of other customers.

Very cute and aesthetic cafe chain in Riverside area that seems to attract a certain crowd of coffee-crazed crunchy people lol. I enjoy grabbing coffee/matcha here and doing some work in the cafe. The food is usually quite good too, although a bit pricey for cafe prices. I do see that sometimes they offer brunch or more fleshed-out dishes, but information on that doesn't seem readily available and I wish it was because I'd love to try it! The coffee itself here is pretty acidic and not entirely my favorite. The matcha has always been pretty decent, and no complaints about clumping or bitterness here! I come here mostly for the flavored/seasonal drinks. Lines are commonly out the door, but go quick. Waiting for food/drinks can take some time, however. The arcade rewards app is a really nice touch for rewarding local regulars with a tiered point system and daily opportunities to win something.

I have checked out their tasting room, and while I really enjoyed the coffee and snacks, it missed the vibrancy and energy of a busy coffee shop. The bakehouse is the sibling of the other location, and it is definitely the spot I'm looking for. Delicious seasonal coffee, assortments of delicious pastries, and a great open space for studying with an extensive outdoor environment. The baristas are friendly and service is fast. Easily one of my favorite coffee spots in the IE/Riverside area.

I love this spot as a nice study spot. It gets pretty busy pretty quickly though, so if you're looking for a place to sit you'll likely have to sit outside. There is plenty of seating though, especially around the whole plaza, so while seating is their biggest problem it's a very easy one to get around. I love trying new things every time I go, and they hit the mark every single time. The inside has an unfinished vibe which I can appreciate, but the place is very clean and modern. They have a rewards program which gives you little discounts basically every time you visit. It's going to join my growing list of coffee shop study spots

This is a wonderful coffee shop with unique bites. It's been a while since I've been and although the menu has underwent radical changes, the latte+syrup is still amazing. The trout & everything bagel(new*) is everything AND more. Shall I continue to lower my expectations every time of the service to the frontlines of such a lovely coffee oasis? Oh yeeeeah

They have 3 locations and I thought the food had a different take than their downtown location.I came here mostly to study and to get a coffee to do some work. But I was intrigued at their food menu that I ended up getting a Steak Sando. I was not disappointed. It had a lot of flavor and most important part was that I was full. They have a lot of other food dishes that I need to try but their coffee was solid!Come here if you tryna do some work inside or outside with some terrific food!

Minus one star bc very expensive! Other than that, had a good time here. These sandwiches were VERY flavorful, which honestly was surprising for a coffee shop type place. There is a lot of seating, but they were booked and busy. Tables are bolted to the ground and chairs are very heavy outside, so kinda hard to accommodate large parties.

My husband and I come here often. We usually order ahead because it can take some time ordering in store--mostly if they're super busy. We really like the drinks. The vibe is really nice if you wanted to stay with friends, study, etc. They recently changed their menu. I am a bit disappointed to see the steak sando no longer an option on the menu. It was our favorite thing. I'm in the process of giving their new menu a chance. I did try the new breakky sando. I can see how people may like it, I didn't like it personally. It gets soggy pretty quickly. I'll keep trying items and hopefully there's something new we'll like, or maybe they'll bring back the steak sando!!I do recommend the spot overall.
