Bold Bean Coffee Roasters - Riverside

Super cute and cozy coffee shop! The staff was super friendly and the drinks were delicious. They have lots of seating inside and plenty of places to enjoy a drink, read, or study/work. There were a few options for pastries but more were delivered once we sat down, so it seems they have a steady supply for the mornings.

Been loving this place since it opened. Anytime I’m in Jax I make a point to stop in for my coffee. They are the real deal 3rd wave shop. Smooth flavor. Attention to details. Only house made syrups. With kind baristas. Atmosphere that’s on point. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll become a regular 💯

Nice coffee spot. Atmosphere is calming due to their choice of techno/smooth jazz. I had a cappuccino, extra foam. It had a strong flavor with subtle nuttiness. Overall, this place is compatible to other coffee shops. They lacked chocolate in their chocolate chip cookies. I do not feel as though I have to return.

The cappuccinos from here are always fantastic. Perfect espresso to milk ratio and great latte art. They are often busy so it can take 10 min for a drink to come out, but well worth the wait. Wife always gets black coffee which is fantastic and the same every time we go. Definitely our go to in the area. Good amount of seating indoors and a table or 2 outside usually.

I really enjoyed coming here. Even though there were a lot of people and a lot of conversation it was some what still very quiet. The coffee was amazing and the crescent was amazing. I will 100% be back!

Like the absolute best coffee ever. I’m from seattle and have been around every coffee bar I can. This is the absolute best coffee I’ve had in all of Florida. So happy I found it!

Dear Bold Bean:
So I'm a really old guy and I'm an actual writer and my wife and I've been coming down from NY to Riverside to stay in air bnbs for 2 or 3 or 4 weeks for ten years now in January, because we love it, here and always loved this place. I'd get coffee, I'd write, liked the music, always felt welcome, right? This year, something was different. I've come in 7 of the last 11 days between 10-12, and there's this guy behind the counter with long brown kind of unwashed hair behind each ear and weirdly aviator-like silver-rimmed glasses, and I guess some facial hair. If he's not taking my order, and any other person is, from the sweet women and the cool other guys, it's just a cool experience as always. But if this guy is taking my order, it's as if I'm an intruder on his turf. Sometimes even if he didn't take the order, but seems to be supervising, I catch his eye and he he's looking at me with this bizarre almost hostile indifference. I'm about to turn 70, and so obviously not hip (though I know all the music they ever play). But the other young people not only indulge me, they're just fun. But this guy creeps me out. I became so paranoid, because I am basically an insecure guy, that waiting for my camomile iced-tear to seep, I watched him deal with other people, and he was always happy and jolly with them. Am I wrong to think that he thinks that as a really old guy he thinks I'm poaching on his Young Hip Territory and should go away? Or does he just not like my vibe, which, seriously, is not threatening in the slightest way? Am I making this whole thing up? Anyway, we're heading back north tomorrow, so it doesn't really matter. But when we come back in March, if he's still giving me that look, I'm going to go to the Starbucks next to the Publix from here on in. Advice? -- Frustrated old man.

I absolutely loved this place. I was visiting from SC and this coffee shop was so cute. The staff was super sweet and helpful. I got a iced honey vanilla latte and it was great! I also got a breakfast sandwich which was huge. They do lack pastry options but that is okay.

It gets busy here during the week with so many working adults. I enjoy the atmosphere. The energy is perfect for a cup of coffee. Clean bathrooms 🚻 👌

Vibe is very vibrant, warm and social here. Many different coffee beans to choose from. Chose to drink the Columbia- Hermer Sánchez brew. Coffee was very strong and citrus-y very interesting and enjoyable. Most of the coffee here is made by hand pour-over so it’s made with care which I love. All the plants displayed are for sale which is so cool because each one has got its own charm to it. Loved my visit here & would come again.
