Lift Coffee Roasters

First time at this location! I’ve been to the Whittier location, but this one is like a hidden gem. It’s super bright outside but when you walk in, it turns into this coffee enclave haven.
The dim lights, eclectic jazz music playing softly, the cool industrial vibe, makes for an excellent coffee experience.

Oh! Did i forget to mention the coffee? I ordered from the spring menu; the macadamia nut latte with almond milk. Sprinkled with coconut flakes on top. And The espresso is so smooth. That’s what great coffee is all about!

Service:
Excellent service, patient in explaining the coffee types, options, and sources.

Expertise:
The barista is very knowledgeable.

Very patient explaining the coffee and what's in drinks with flavors, level of choices, and providing recommendations.

Quality:
Good quality coffee, we tried the one sourced from Ethiopia, dark, thick, earthy.

I've must've been living under a rock because I barley found this gem and their honey cinnamon latte was AAAAMMAZING! They have mobile ordering online which made it a breeze for me the day I went.

Will come back to sit down and enjoy my coffee there soon. 😉

The food is priced well, I like the ambience and there’s good WiFi. I was disappointed in the coffee- usually 6$ gets you a big drink not 16 oz, and the coffee was just warm.

This secluded coffee stop is very welcoming to a good time. There is plenty of board games available and plenty of space for working the afternoon away.

Service is efficient and friendly. As for the coffee, the drip coffee is must-go-to!

Two stars for the vibes. The location is interesting, but I like it! Total bummer that they don’t have decaf espresso. Supposedly they don’t have a grinder for it at this moment. Not everyone can have the caffeine due to medical issues but love the taste of coffee. They have decaf drip coffee but I’m still an espresso gal.

Without a doubt the best coffee in Riverside. I've been searching for a place like this for a long time! One of the best cortados I've ever had, so much so that I had to go back for another drink the same day!

👍🏻 Great coffee, fantastic atmosphere
👎🏻 The chairs are oppressively loud, like a walrus in heat, whenever patrons of the establishment or staff shuffle them about.

Kind of an unusual location - really great space though, and very tasty coffee. Love how many workstations there are, with power, and very good air conditioning :) I also liked their rewards program that seems fairly generous.
Oh, and I liked how it’s quite dark inside, good for working on the computer. Don’t be surprised by the lack of daylight :) haha (do you guys open up a big garage door or anything on occasion?)

Shout out to Martha! I’ve been coming to Lift for a little over a year, but today I had the best coffee I’ve had here in a long time. Thanks Martha for taking your time and making a bomb caramel latte. Good place to study, catch up with friends, and snack on tasty scones.
