Molinos Coffee

I came here to catch up with a friend. I had an espresso shot (double) and a regular coffee. Don't judge me, we were here a few hours. Both the espresso and coffee were good. The staff was friendly. I thought about rating 4 stars only because I didn't see a sign from the street or outside sidewalk. As I drove by looking for it I passed it twice. The entrance is from inside a hallway type entrance from the street. Then you'll see the Molino's sign.

Molino's is my favorite place to get coffee. It's beautiful in there and the coffee tastes so good. I love popping into the antique store attached while waiting.

One of my favorite coffee shops. The location is great at Downtown Riverside.

would be 5 star service but the "lady" with the shorts was being so rude i'm glad there was another service person kind enough to actually imply kindness

Early grey and lavender latte's are bomb 👌🏼 they always seem super stressed and short staffed though.

I have to admit, I was a little suspicious of this place; it was so nice looking that I assumed it was an Insta-trap, specializing in backdrops rather than coffee.

But it’s the real deal. I’ve come by a number of times now, and everything is consistently delicious. Initially, I thought they’d only nailed the European-style espresso drinks, but their cold brew drinks are creative and tasty. They strike a good balance between sweet and bitter, making is accessible to nearly everyone.

Their branding is clean and tasteful. Worthy of a much larger chain. Kudos to whoever put this together.

To top it all off, all the workers I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with are courteous and kind, even during the morning rush. Contagious smiles and magnetic personalities have come to be the hallmark for my partner and I.

For the COVID record - they all wear and enforce masks. There’s a face shield at the register. Not much else you can do these days.

Thanks everyone!

One of my favorite parts of working in Downtown Riverside is being walking distance from Molinos! Not only do they have the best chai in Riverside, the staff is so kind and intentional about their customers. It was a great place for me to study in college, and now it's a great spot for my break from work.

I loved the decorations and feel of this shop the moment I walked in. The drinks were fantastic and the staff was very friendly. I will definitely be coming back again soon. They had a wide selection of beverage and food options. The outdoor seating is great especially this time of year.

Lovely little shop, coffee was excellent, staff was friendly. The lighting fixtures are attractive, could use a good dusting, but they set the tone of the space well. A great place and quality experience. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Thank you!

This is a great coffee shop in downtown riverside. Their options are cool and having some Cuban/latin style coffee was amazing. They made them all to taste like the originals. The only issue is the wait time. You have to wait for a long time on the line to order then wait again for your order to be served.
