Lift Coffee Roasters

Hidden cafe in a business center area near UCR. Friendly baristas and lots of seating both inside and outside. Got the seasonal salted caramel mocha and the banoffee latte, both iced and with oat milk. Both drinks were really delicious and spot on with the flavor profiles. Each respective latte paired well with the espresso and had a great balance with the milk. Will be back again to try out more items on their rotating seasonal menus!

Only reason for the 4 stars because the location was hard to find!!Almost gave up and went home. Ended up finding the location on the back of the shopping center.The matcha was great!Looks like a great place for students to study! Plenty of seating.Service was amazing lady at the register was so sweet.

Coffee was really good at this place. It is located in an industrial place which is a good miss if you pass by. Glad we found this place by looking at our gps. There was a lot of people which is a good sign that service and drinks are good.

I've been wanting to check out this coffee shop ever since I saw it on Instagram, and I finally got the chance while in the area for a business meeting. The space is clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with friendly staff to match. I ordered a dirty chai, which was excellent, along with a pumpkin muffin and a vegan banana nut muffin, both were absolutely delicious. Overall, it's a fantastic spot, and I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in the area!

Not to be dramatic but... the iced dirty chai from here is magical. It is so good, whenever I need something to bring joy to my day, cure my headache, energize me, I turn my car on and head straight to Lift. The workers are always kind, getting me my drink quick and always tasty. And the energy in the room is always so positive. Both the workers and the people who come to get coffee and do some work are always spreading such good vibes. Thank goodness for Lift

Love the place. Super chic spot with plenty of comfy seats. Great for meet up with friends. I was not fond of the trucks that kept arriving at the entrance while we were trying to chill on the outdoor sitting but there were transport pick up and deliveries so ooohh well. I heard great things about the drinks and my matcha wasn't bad but I wanted a stronger matcha flavor and the vanilla syrup was alright. I did try a bambusa which was an empanada in shape of a triangle with beef and turmeric spices. Delicious! I might have to come back and try their chai and see if it's better than my drink. No major complaints. Looking forward to coming back. Btw the service was great! Attentive and kind. Thank you!

ORDERmatcha latte w/ vanilla (3/5)there was no matcha flavor at all, so my drink just tasted like sweetened milk. by the time the ice melted, the drink just tasted like watered down milk. there is a small food menu as well. i did not try any this time around, but everything looked yummy!SERVICE (5/5)service was super friendly, which is why i opted in for a higher rating. everyone was super nice and accommodating. AMBIANCE this coffee shop is quite dim, but there are plenty of seats! there were super cool decorations.

one of my go to spots to read with my friends. we have a book club and sometimes we come here for little reading dates. my mom & fiancé also love it here, it's just a cozy little spot. they also have some of the best iced chai (w vanilla) and I always love getting a snickerdoodle cookie. they have a lot of space inside & a table outside if it's a nice sunny day. staff is also very welcoming & helpful if you need a recommendation on what to order. I love how hidden it is. just a little gem :)

Came here on Mother's Day morning and was a bit disappointed... my friend ordered the carrot cake and was quickly handed a slice. I decided to order a blueberry muffin, but unfortunately it was not quite as quick. Once I placed my order I waited for about 10 minutes as the baristas made the other guests drinks. When I was about to ask if they had forgotten about the muffin, one of the baristas pulled it out of a fridge(?) and threw it in the warmer. Sadly, even after warming the muffin was still pretty cool. Flavor-wise, it was ok, but u would definitely look for an alternate spot in the future. My friend seemed to enjoy her carrot cake, so if you want to quickly grab that, this might be your spot. However, if you're looking for other baked goods, I'd recommend going elsewhere.

Just the coffee/tea is great, the service not so much.I've been here a few times when I'm in the area. First two times back in 2019, staff were very friendly and welcoming. Coming in now, not so much. Felt like I was interrupting them and was given kinda of an attitude. I ordered my drink (which was good) and sat off to the side as all the tables were filled. The next person came in, they were treated very differently as if they were a regular. Obviously I don't expect people to act like my best friend, but some kindness or simply being friendly wouldn't hurt.So drinks are delicious and the ambiance was nice, the service however, was lacking. Still tipped.
