Arcade Coffee Roasters - Tasting Room

I recently discovered this coffee shop and roasters after just moving to Riverside. They have very good in-house lattes.

My favorite thing about this business has been the coffee bean subscription. I got one bag a week, single origin. It has been an amazing upgrade in my life that has been well worth the price. I highly recommend their coffee beans to anyone.

If I could give this rating zero stars I would, but this rating is based on my experience. Coffee and food options are good. I like that your menu includes vegan options, however if offering food is too much to handle in your kitchen I would reccomend not selling it at all.
I waited for over 30 minutes for my food, a group of five people came in and placed their order and got their food before us. I over heard that they ordered the same food items as me. When I went up to the counter to ask the young lady, she told me my order had not gone through, or that my food might not be ready. The communication was unclear. When she went to check she said it was still not ready. Was I expected to wait longer? The young lady offered some $5 tokens but I didn't accept because I don't plan on going back.

When I first found out about this place I was excited to try it due to the background of this business. I am a local business supporter and understand the importance of it during this pandemic. I hate to say it but I had to ask for my refund and drove to Starbucks. I hope this helps you improve your customer service and kitchen speed of service.

Amazing coffee is all I can say! I got an iced latte with honey and cinnamon and it was delicious! Just moved into the area and will definitely be my go to from now on 😊, thank you for the delicious coffee!

My first time there, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is great in there. Exactly what you would expect from a coffee place. Lots of seating. Plenty of people sitting on laptops drinking coffee and socializing. The staff was very friendly. The coffee was great. I just ordered a regular black coffee, but the people I was with ordered 'special' drinks and they loved them and they got them immediately. I will definitely go back to possibly work for a few hours and try some more items.

It was disappointing to see the response to COVID-19 here. There was ONE employee wearing a mask, and the baristas are not respectful of the 6-foot distance barrier.
The coffee was good, but, unfortunately I will not be returning. I’d be mindful of the space before going, and just in case, there’s a Starbucks across the street that mandates masks inside. :)

Overall its a cool concept. Roasting on-site, nice lounging area and friendly atmosphere. A bit hipster.

The espresso was just so bitter and bad it shouldn't be served in that roast. Dont know what is going on there. It was like Illy coffee but extremely bitter.

The coffee and pastries are so good. And the customer service is outstanding!

This shop is an example of how a business can become a part of a community. They consistently hold awesome events like drink releases, parties, and dinners featuring local chefs. In addition to this they have organized cleanups of the neighborhood. The staff couldn’t be nicer and the coffee is incredible. I wish I could always have a cup to start my day. I’d highly recommend stopping by if you have the chance.

Being a black and Mexican women, I don’t know if they’re racist or what the situation may be but the two ladies behind the counter were extremely rude they didn’t acknowledge us when we walked in the people they were helping out they were clearly having a long conversation with them and me and my husband came right behind them and not once did they say welcome in or hello no I didn’t take it as a big deal when I first walked in but then a group of three people behind me which was an Asian and two white people and they immediately said hi welcome and will be with you shortly not once did they look back at me and my husband who is right behind the first couple there that they were helping to greet us this coffee shop is obviously only for white people and people that are hipster anything outside that zone don’t go here they don’t welcome are kind.

All the reviews on great service are absolutely true. What wonderful and delightful service we received. Coffee was also excellent. I had a vanilla latte and was not at all disappointed. We did not try food but will be back to do so on another trip. What keeps me from a 5 star rating is cost. Prices are a bit steep for the size of coffee you get. Don't get me wrong, great coffee, I just wanted more for the price. Will I be back? Yes.Will I go frequently? No, only because of the price and nothing else.
