Still great Americano ( Ethiopian)7-29-22
Still great vibes,

We were on the road and came across this spot. Got the cold brew and can say it has a nice bold taste. I also got the coffee cake and can tell their coffee cake is made fresh. Nothing like Starbucks. It's delicious and highly recommend trying.

The ambience and energy of Lift Coffee Roasters cannot be beat. I prefer this cafe to others near downtown for a number of reasons. 1) Yummy drinks and bakery items. 2) Seating and workspace. Ample space to work on laptops at tables but also a couch, love seat and comfy chairs for a nice chat. Hard to find a comfortable couch at a cafe these days. 3) Wisely placed electrical outlets. The design of the space is brilliant because the electrical comes down to table from the ceiling and it's barely noticeable. Because it's from the ceiling, it's precisely where they want it to be. 4) Free and plentiful parking. It's so hard to find parking downtown and it's rarely free. Once I find parking, the other cafés in downtown are packed. It can be a challenge to find a seat. (But now that I've told you all of this, will I still be able to find parking and grab a seat on the couch? If I see you there, please share the couch with me.)

And of course free wifi, clean bathroom and frequent visitors can elect for a point card towards free drinks.

I really like this shop as a study location. The endless drop coffee is one of my favorites when I have to write for a long period of time and they have a great selection of snacks and pastries. It would be slightly difficult to find but they have great signage to help you out. The aesthetics are amazing if you like dark tones, leather, and wood.

Loved this coffee roaster and cafe. The vibe was great, and everything was relaxed enough for me to read my book and my girlfriend to do her homework.

She had an iced soy milk latte and I had a cappuccino. Both drinks were quickly and well made. The in house roasting definitely brought a freshness to the coffee.

Art on the walls was some of my favorite in any store I've been to recently.

I would immedcome back whenever I'm in the Riverside area.

This is such a neat place. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is calm and friendly. It really has a quaint feel to it and makes you feel like you've stepped into another world. The staff is really friendly and the products are quality. This is a great spot for student groups to meet with wifi and a quite and respectful crowd.

Amazing coffee and amazing staff. Best coffee in the city for sure. If you liked Auggies then you'll love Lift Coffee Roasters! Please consider buying coffee from these kinds of small coffee shops, not only are you getting better quality, but you're also getting the satisfaction that you're supporting a small business.

The best coffee place in Riverside in my opinion. I’ve been coming here since they were located off of central and I love them! Even though they’re quite out of the way for me, I make a point to come here with or without my husband at least once a week. I have tried coffee shops all over Southern California and Lift is consistently the best. The baristas are always super nice, personable and actually pretty quick at making drinks! (anyone who complains about the amount of time it takes to get their specialty coffee is just a Starbucks regular) I drink Starbucks too but don’t come to a walk in coffee joint like this one and expect them to prioritize speed over quality; if your drink is taking a while, trust me, it’s for good reason!
Also, they have amazing oat milk all the time and really great donuts on the weekends! :)

The absolute best Americano in riverside, and the right size cup...poured over water...not water poured into your espresso shots(sbks)...everyone is absolutely lovely also

Friendly neighborhood coffee shop with good vibes.
