Aesthetic elevated coffee shop that feels more like a fancy brunch spot. The food was delicious. Limited options but good food. Service was very friendly. Even though they were busy they didn’t appear bothered with us taking our time to decide what to order. I wasn’t a big fan of the sparkling matcha. It wasn’t that sweet even with added sweetener. My girlfriend loved it though. The eggs and potatoes were delicious after a 13 mile run. Great carbs. Sparkling matcha w/ mint + sweetener: 4/5 Gibraltar w/ oatmilk and lavender: 4.5/5 Cornbread + Crab Benedict: 4/5 Eggs w/ Potatoes (minus bacon): 4.5/5

Get the matcha. Cute downtown coffee shop with fast service, lovely pastries, and vegan options. The matcha is high ceremonial grade, and they offer almond and oat milk, which I appreciate. The brunch menu looked amazing, so I’d definitely come back to try it. Minimal, aesthetic spot — it does get a bit busy, so just keep that in mind.

Tried the strawberry matcha with cold foam. The cold foam was thin but light, the matcha could be stronger-would recommend asking for extra matcha for the 16oz (which the barista added for me and it was better!), the strawberry syrup was yummy! lots of seating, great to study at, cute atmosphere, baristas were friendly, easy to find location.

While visiting family we stopped in for Sunday breakfast. The food was so fresh and cooked to perfection. Scrambled eggs at restaurants typically are over done and rubbery. These were the best egg I’ve ever had eating out. We shared scones for the table which were full of flavor. Everything at our table was perfect not one complaint. Annie our server was so sweet and helpful. In addition they accommodated our large group of 12 in a very comfortable spot. What a great place!

This place is always booming. My first time in today and I can see why. The coffee was fantastic and so was the kombucha. Service was kind and fantastic and the place was clean. Highly recommend if you're in the area

Honey latte went crazy smooth, balanced pretty damn good. The Downtown Egg & Cheese sandwich was delicious- portions are big and could have split. Staff was very welcoming & vibe was on point. Definitely one of the better coffee stops in Riverside. ☕🔥 Definitely recommend!

you're anywhere near Main Street in downtown Riverside, Arcade Coffee Roasters is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the vibes are immaculate. It strikes the perfect balance between an elevated, modern space and a welcoming community hub—ideal for catching up with friends or just relaxing on a weekend. The coffee is consistently phenomenal. You can tell they roast their own beans locally; the quality and depth of flavor in every cup are unmatched. Whether you’re grabbing a smooth pour-over, a classic flat white, or one of their seasonal specials, their coffee program is top-tier. But what keeps me coming back is the food—specifically, the steak and eggs. It is hands-down the best brunch plate in town. The steak is always perfectly seasoned and cooked to order, the eggs are done flawlessly, and the whole dish is just incredibly satisfying. It hits the spot every single time. Between the killer coffee, the mouth-watering steak and eggs, and the fantastic atmosphere, Arcade Downtown hits every mark. Highly recommend checking it out!

It was a really great experience! The steak & eggs were really good! I forgot what other plate was ordered (I think it was the Turkish eggs?) but those were pretty good too, great presentation as well. The staff and service was top notch too! Definitely coming back to if I'm in the area ✌🏽

This coffee shop has a gorgeous space inside and a nice patio area in front. Plenty of seats for different size parties and it’s a fist come first serve basis unless you’re there to eat. It’s located in the middle plaza of the revamped downtown area so it’s a nice space outside as well. I ordered a few coffee drinks but no food since I want aware they serve but I’m definitely coming back to check that out. So I ordered an espresso shot and a cortado. The cortado was good and the espresso shot too but it would’ve been better if they had a palate cleanser with the espresso shot but other than that it was a good combo of coffee drinks. I also had their cold brew which was sweet with a kick. Their staff is super friendly and if you like latte art you’re in for a treat. Overall it was a positive experience and if you’re in the mood for a coffee adventure then definitely check this place out if you’re in the area.
