Stray Dogs is officially my new go-to coffee spot in Riverside! The shop is spacious with a sleek, minimal Japandi aesthetic (the echo goes crazy in there). But Stray Dogs isn't just about the vibes--the drinks are excellent too! I had their Double Matcha specialty drink, which had rich flavor but not at all bitter.Another huge plus: it's dog-friendly! The cashier even offered my dog a pup cup, which he loved.A few things to note: I stopped by around noon hoping to try their pastries, but the display was nearly empty, so options might be limited later in the day. Also, there aren't many outlets, so it may not be the best spot for laptop work.Overall, I'm definitely coming back and would recommend it to anyone in the area!

Coffee chronicles downtown Riverside edition. The coffee scene in downtown town Riverside continue to evolve. Over a decade ago there seemed to be only a Coffee Bean, Starbucks and maybe 1 or 2 independently owned coffee shops. With the arrival of Stray Dogs there is at least 1 more high tier craft coffee shop in downtown Riverside aside from Arcade. First I will say Strat Dogs does have a socially conscious mission to donating 10% of proceeds (according to the owner) to help get dogs off the street. There are pictures of local pups and you can bring your dog inside. All the baristas are really friendly.The shop is about blocks from the food lab, convention center and Mission Inn. There is street parking and parking behind the shop also. The shop is nice and contemporary, it looks as if they are still putting finishing touches on shop. MI like the big windows and high ceilings. I know during opening weekend and once word of mouth gets out, this place will be packed on the weekends. There is an ample amount of seating as well as bar seating. Coffee wise, I got the vanilla late iced and hot for my next visit. I really like it hot as all the flavor was well mixed together. Stray Dogs uses their own vanilla bean syrup and it is delicious. Definitely a great latte, aside from that they have a brown sugar latte and a simple syrup latte for coffee. This is one of the best local coffee shops, as this place grows, I will miss easily finding an open seat especially on the weekends. It is better for folks to know about it and support a great local coffee shop.

This place is the best coffee shop in RiversideCoffee 5/5 - Carl is a dope barista who is also a great human - Ive had most of their drinks and they are all amazing but my favorites are:Corndog Latte - they use korean imported corn based syrup that is so rich and the foam is amazingStrawberry Lemonade - this is a secret menu so ask the owners about itSalty Dog - this is their salted caramel affogato which is amazing! Also I normally get a cappuccino which is great! ALSO THE PASTRIES ARE AMAZINGGGGG!!! I dont think ive had any pastry in the store that was just even okay Again, if you are in riverside, this is the place - I love the environment, I love the people, there are dogs there all the time - Its worth the drive even from LA so if youre closer, I would highly recommend!

Grand opening was amazing, friendly staff and owners were so welcoming. Good options of lattes and small pastries. My favorite latte is ( corn dog latte ). Very open and good amount of seating inside. Parking lot is located in the back and some street parking. Dogs are allowed and they have pup cups ( whip cream). Overall I enjoy it! Welcome to the neighborhood Stray dogs !

Stray Dogs Coffee is the latest gem in Riverside! With a stylish interior with excellent service. We tried the Iced Corn Dog Latte, the smooth Madagascar Vanilla Iced Latte, and a delicious Earl Grey pastry. All were a 10/10. Highly recommend you trying their signature Corn Dog Latte. A high-quality coffee shop (with actual legitimate coffee) and if you need a place to study, the area is inviting. Looking forward to our next visit!

The Sakura Latte was delicious and full bodied. It went well with the Italian coffee cakes that they make in house. The ambiance is clean and airy with lots of open space. The staff is very nice! I will be coming back for sure

The staff was sooooo welcoming to both me and my pups. I tried the strawberry lemonade, and it was delicious. It tasted just like fresh strawberries, super refreshing and not too sweet or sour. Highly recommend this spot for any dog lover looking for a relaxed, pet-friendly place!

The cappuccino was delicious with the added syrup. And the lemon cake was sweet and moist. The atmosphere was lively and the ambiance is light and airy. The owners, Tyler and Jessica, are lovely and welcoming with great big smiles and the staff are talented baristas. Coming out from West Hollywood was worth the drive to support this business.

The space brings something different to downtown! The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful in guiding me through their unique menu, making the experience even better. The space is open and inviting, perfect for getting work done or just relaxing and catching up with friends. Their mission and passion for helping the community's stray dog population is what sets them apart from others for me personally. It goes beyond coffee. Plus, the free parking nearby is a huge bonus. Can't wait to come back! Bonus is seeing all fur babies come around and are welcomed!
