We love great coffee. Arcade is a great coffee option in the Inland Empire, city of Riverside. Two open locations and a third on the way. This is the original location and where the roasting magic happens.Every month a new original option. Month of March 2022: Charred Orange Latte! Charred orange + sweetened condensed milk + fresh orange zest = lots of yum!Pair that with a Sammie and wow! What's in/on a Sammie? Espresso rubbed tri tip, whole grain mustard aioli, American cheese, bread n' butter pickles...yum
It was disappointing to see the response to COVID-19 here. There was ONE employee wearing a mask, and the baristas are not respectful of the 6-foot distance barrier.The coffee was good, but, unfortunately I will not be returning. I’d be mindful of the space before going, and just in case, there’s a Starbucks across the street that mandates masks inside. :)
Overall its a cool concept. Roasting on-site, nice lounging area and friendly atmosphere. A bit hipster.The espresso was just so bitter and bad it shouldn't be served in that roast. Dont know what is going on there. It was like Illy coffee but extremely bitter.
Oh man!! First off, friendliest coffee joint I have ever been to. The employees were just happy to be there I feel like. I got an iced coffee, black, delicious. Deep flavors that other places could produce, but don’t. And their beer selection looked good for it being small. Will definitely go to again when I’m in the area!
First off go here!My overall experience here was an excellent 10/10 A++. The customer service here is probably one of the best customer services in Southern California for a coffee shop. For our first time visit ever we were able to sample some coffee and find even some coffee beans for the trip back home. The owner I’m assuming was very nice and really took care of his customers. He also checked up on guest that were dining in which I don’t really see happen often at any other coffee shops.Coffee quality was 10/10Food quality was 10/10And customer service 11/10Definitely will make the hour drive again just for coffee from arcade roasters.
Got the draft latte, was good but was definitely very sweet. Nice staff, cozy couches
The best coffee around since Augie's closed down. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable regarding coffee. I usually only buy whole beans.If you want to become infected with SARS-CoV-2, you may have a pretty good chance of catching it here from all the college age kids who are likely unvaccinated.
Definitely my favorite since moving from LA. Their coffee gives me a homey feeling. Don’t even get me started on their breakfast burrito ??
My favorite spot to hang in Riverside. The coffee is top-notch (the draft latte is heavenly), the staff couldn't be more friendly, awesome chill folk playlists, spacious enough to work comfortably.
Excellent espresso drinks. Fast service. Never seem to have much pastry when I get there
