Place is cozy and inviting. The man over the counter is friendly and sincere. Had a "Chai latte" that turned out tasty. Not too strong on the spice, just nice and comforting

Coffee is okay. The black guy at the cashier was not the kindest person. Wifi is quite slow..

Such a cozy and wonderful cafe, with really beautiful interior decorations. I had the Vegetable Egg White bites and they were delicious. Great service and hospitality.

Came for a book signing and open mic poetry reading in downstairs lounge. Very large and good acoustics! There was an upstairs loft and a back, outside, patio. Very nice venue! Batista made a host of flavored teas, smoothies, and hot drinks including plant milks and vegan baked goods. Very nice! I will be back.

I really liked this place. It was quiet, for one. Small tables with two opposing chairs at each (invitations to intense conversations), a wall of well-read and worth-reading books. Conscientious and skilled baristas serving EXCELLENT espresso drinks. Quite-good goodies.

Back to the Grind Coffee House is a unique and wonderful place to visit. The antique decorations and old-school library feel make for a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The coffee is absolutely amazing, and I always enjoy trying different flavors and blends. The coffee house is also a great place to relax or get some work done, with plenty of seating options and a welcoming vibe. Don't forget to try the ice cream, which is a great value for the price and always delicious. The food at Back to the Grind Coffee House is also top-notch, with some signature items that are always a treat to indulge in. Overall, I highly recommend Back to the Grind Coffee House for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable coffee house experience.

Love the aesthetics of this place. Quaint little place that sits in the heart of downtown riverside. We felt like we had stepped right into the scene of a movie. Not to mention they had vegan options for everything. The service was great the prices were average. I would highly recommend going to this coffee shop and I will also be returning to myself.

They have so many events going on towards the evening it's so fun! But you can also have plenty of peace during the morning and mid day to study or just hang out! Really chill place. Staff is great. Lots of art and art decorations!

Lots of selections with drinks (coffee, beer, protein drinks, extc) & even food like sandwiches, salad, pizza, extc... service is good & the worker is knowledgeable & patient. The place has sofas, tables, & chairs & even books making it a cozy & nice atmosphere. Probably my top nearby coffee place for me 😁

This is a fantastic space with awesome coffee. Sometimes it’s hard for more to enjoy a latte with more than two shots because the drink becomes to acidic. This latte was smooth all the way. The Chai Tea is not to sweet and the oat milk lattes are great as well. I hope to come back sometime to try all the goodies they provide. Service was fast and helpful. They also have a fantastic community board that I highly recommend checking out.
