Back To The Grind

Love, love, love this place. Vegetarian and vegan options available. Delicious coffee and tea. They also have scooped ice cream and milkshakes. Tons of books to read and board games to play. Open mic nights, great crowd, the owner is so awesome and welcoming. This is my favorite coffee shop in Riverside. Oh and they recently started serving beer as well.

Honestly the best coffee shop in Riverside. Literally the only bummer is that they're cash only, but I'll pay cash to support such a great place in my town. Te food is good, the drinks are good, the coffee is good. There is plenty of space to spread out if you need to and the staff are incredible.

Chill coffee lounge and bar. it’s a nice casual and laid back spot, w/ ample space for groups and spots for individuals. I wish there was a jukebox and a night shift/bar hours.

Coffee and light meals are tremendously tasty as well.

Great Service! Great coffee and Drinks and Great Ambiance 😁👍🏼the owner was the one preparing and serving our food and drinks and did so with a pleasant attitude 😀 definitely will continue coming back when I return to visit Riverside.

I went a month ago to support my friends Band From Victorville , ca . They're called The Old west. Well i absolutely loved the place completely. i felt at home with an environment that makes you feel welcomed. The coffee and other drinks were magnificent. Food very tasty indeed. The workers made me feel great, and can strike up a conversation with them anytime. No complaints what so ever.

The space is awesome and very cozy. The food and smoothies are super delicious. You can't go wrong with the bagel melts. Awesome coffee shop to sit and read in or eat in. The staff is great!

Never have I had an owner, (especially one to be LGBTQ friendly) or at least I thought it be.. make feel out of place and flat alienated!🤬 I've been a loyal customer for years, so to flip out be cause you're key was in a dumb place to begin with (hey do you know skeleton can go for literally as $500-$1k? But know you're $1 key was lucky, that when I hurriedly sat my bag down it didn't break the vine it was hanging on! It's clear you don't want my business and I will make sure that I let you the rest of trans community know that they might not want theirs either... We get enough haters🤬 shouldn't have to go where we think we're safe, yet treated with such contempt! 💋Erika

Great coffee....very slow service

I had to be in the area for jury duty and happened upon this cute place. This morning, I ordered the best apple-cranberry-pecan pie! Tart, naturally sweet, and I'll definitely will be back for some more. At the back patio, the nicest couple, Tim and Cathy, and their friend, Deev, told me that Back to the Grind has a "Portland" vibe, so now I know why it's so popular! The baker of the pie says this is a new recipe, so I take it that there are other wonderful treats for me to try. I can't wait to enjoy another morning at Back to the Grind.

Reminiscent of the European Coffee House and now that they serve alcohol and old western Saloon. Very unique calm relaxing atmosphere with open doors to everyone. One of the unique pleasures in Downtown Riverside California. It has a wide variety of menu item and leaving a part of the Art Walk downtown Riverside featuring local artists and their varied artistic endeavors. The venue is even available for rent for special occasions and many of their weeknights are themed. See picture live local bands at least one night a week.
