Rival Coffee Co. - Murrieta

This coffee spot is a great place to have coffee, eat some breakfast, and if you’re into it, have an adult beverage. The food and coffee are remarkable and reasonably priced. Great breakfast date spot and great ambiance.

I ordered cappuccino with oat milk. Oat milk ran me an extra dollar. It was very surprising how expensive milk substitution is. Very often even the Bay area coffee shops charge only $0.50 to $0.70 extra.

My cappuccino was just okay. Oat milk was foamed very heavily, with approximately 1/3 of the drink being foam. It tasted a bit sour for whatever reason. Not sure what brand they're using, but I've had better ones.

The overall atmosphere is quite good. They are open inside during the pandemic, the outdoor area is also available. Overall, I might give a shot having another, different drink there, but it certainly would not be my first choice.

I have had pretty good food and coffee here and the staff is extraordinarily friendly! Murrieta needed a large coffee house to meet, work and relax, and this fits the ticket.
The complaint I have, and the reason I am turned off, is that the music video screen, which is a full wall’s size, was playing inappropriate music videos the full two hours I was there. I had driven through twice, but after dining in, I was not a happy customer. It is distasteful see women in bikinis, dancing provocatively at mid-morning in a coffee shop. People might want to have a casual business meeting or Bible study; maybe a girl wants a guy to take her on a coffee (not a club) date and have him look at her, not distracted by the images in the background. I have three boys, and I’m careful about what I expose them to. It’s disheartening to me that we can’t have any distinction between adult places of entertainment and a coffee shop. Whether they serve alcohol or not, a coffee shop in the daytime should be a place anyone can drop into and not be confronted with videos that are just in poor taste.
Also, a changing table in the bathroom would be really helpful for guests with babies, like me and my friend who brought our infant daughters for a mom date.
Thanks for considering a would-be customer’s hopefully helpful constructive criticism .

What happened? Our breakfast was so disappointing this last time. The breakfast last weekend was small, mediocre and expensive. Previously rated Rival 5 stars - I hope they were just having a bad weekend 🤔😢

I think this is one of the most trendy places I’ve ever been to. As a college student, that’s definitely saying something. I wish I would have tried their Rose Cardamom, but their lavender latte was amazing so I’m happy!

Food avacado toast,and honey coffee is delicious. I have been here twice. The only concern I have is that today I wanted to go in and order. 5 girls walked in with no masks. 2 girls came out with no mask. I got back in my car and went through the drive through. I like to support small businesses.

This was my first time here and ordered a Matcha Latte. I was looking for a coffee shop nearest me that wasn't a star bucks, as I like to support other local joints. I love Matcha so I decided to try theirs. I'm sorry to say but it was awful. I couldn't even drink it. It's seems that the quality of matcha they have must be really low due to the brownish green color of the Latte and the burnt flavor, rather than a lovely light mint green color with a slightly sweet grassy taste.
I would still go back and try their London Fog and maybe some food, but definitely stay away from the Matcha Latte.
The customer service was great though and I'm sure the coffees are much better as it is a coffee shop after all.

I usually get their beans and they’re very good. I tried all the lattes and haven’t been a fan. Their regular coffee is delicious though and staff is always super friendly, quick and helpful.

Great service and amazing drinks and food! Nice atmosphere, first time here, will definitely be visiting again soon. Great job Rival coffee.

Rival Coffee Company (RC2) is owned, operated, and staffed by some of the greatest people in the Valley! The customer experience is fantastic.
Food: The Rival Breakfast Sandwich, flatbreads, and the breakfast pasta are my top 3 choices
Drinks: The cinnamon/vanilla iced coffe and white chocolate hot are very tasty.

I'd give this place 10 🌟s if I could
