Me and my husband came looking for a new coffee spot and found, so happy we decided to try something different π First off, the whole place is a VIBE!! The staff was very helpful in helping us with food and coffee selection. I got the Honey Vanilla latte and the husband got the white chocolate latte, we both got their breakfast sandwich and we loved it, very delicious π€€ and although they we were very busy, the wait for the food was only a couple of minutes. We loved it so much that we came back with the kids and this time we got loaded fries with our coffees. Again the staff was very helpful and friendly. We found our new fave weekend spot β€
Was looking for a coffee shop other than Starbucks, and boy didnt find one! The staff was so friendly, the coffee was on point and reasonably priced. Very spacious interior with plenty of seating and a nice patio section outside. Awesome variety of music videos playing on the large screen on the wall. Only downfall was that I was there too early to try one of the many enticing breakfast options, though they did have a large selection of other items that are available anytime. Is my name Arnold Schwarzenegger? Cuz Ill be back!
4 stars strictly for the coffee. The food is average. I had the Rose Cardamom Latte with Oat Milk substitute - a specialty latte and the Sausage breakfast burrito. Ive had about 6 of their food items and although they give you plenty of food, it is usually over salted/season or too gummy.Their coffee, however, is really good. Ive had variations of their coffees and each is unique. Id personally recommend more their Iced drinks versus the hot drinks. Because of their mixes, the Iced versions tend to be a better choice taste wise. The hot versions will leave you with a prolonged after taste.Overall, a nice place to grab a quick bite or in the evenings, grab a drink with your friends and family !
Very cool spot to grab a coffee/alcoholic beverage and chill! I had the Rocky Road Latte and it was delicious! I will be back to try their food and bar. Nice big screen playing music. Love the vibe here, definitely have to support small businesses like this one, these are my kind of people.π Good job guys!
Id like to give this place another chance at some point. We went in a few mins before they closed, and they didnt seem too thrilled that we had. Still our iced Chai Latte and cheese Danish tasted great and the ambience was inviting and original. Ill make a point to try this place again next time Im in the area.
The best coffee/brunch establishment south of LA! Extremely inviting atmosphere and environment. The barista during my visit, Mattie, was extremely welcoming and made my whole family feel at home.The coffee tasted good; but, surprisingly, the food was definitely the hit for the wife and kids. Huge cudos to the entire staff, we will be returning soon!
My first time visiting Rival Coffee was pretty good! The menu items were tasty and they were made really quick. It was a little bit crowded but I guess thats normal for the weekend. Also, I wasnt sure if the Sips&Eats was another section or a separate restaurant? I sat on that side but left after a few minutes because I saw other people being served like a restaurant. It was a little confusing.Overall, this is a great cafe to chill, study, and drink a nice beverage β
Drive thru feature is my favorite ππΌ workers are friendly and their customer service is great. Delicious lattes but since they still use straws I grab my cup hand down from the top lid and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME Iβve had coffee drip onto my clothes from the edges of the bottom of the lid. It can be extremely frustrating you just want to drink a great latte not get it all over yourself and look like a slob in your car.The food is great too just a little pricey as the items are βgourmetβ I was surprised at how delicious the baked oatmeal bar was and have even craved for it since! Would give a 5 star if it wasnβt for the leaking lid tops
I want to like this place. I really do. But Iβve now gotten coffee on three different occasions, with three different brews, and all were just not good. The place is nice enough and the staff is friendly, but I just canβt go back anymore. Maybe itβs just bad luck, but dear lord the last drink I got was terrible. Iβm a coffee fiend, and I had to throw it away. What can you do. I want to love my local place, but I guess Iβm forced to go to fast food coffee for subpar coffee, because at least itβs consistent. Unfortunate.
Visited Rival Coffee for the first time a few days ago and I was very impressed by the decor and the open layout of this coffee bar. The choice of coffee and its many options left me with asking the young lady for her opinion, and she was right, I did get a vanilla latte and was excellent. The many sitting areas and outdoor choices allow for a relaxed moment to enjoy life and enjoy a delicious drink. I will be visiting today and planning to learn more about their food menu and trying something new. Very friendly and the guests appeared to be cool, calm and happy. 6 stars out of five...
I usually get their beans and theyβre very good. I tried all the lattes and havenβt been a fan. Their regular coffee is delicious though and staff is always super friendly, quick and helpful.
Met up with a friend for coffee and breakfast. I was delighted by the coffee and avocado gluten free toast. The atmosphere is beautiful and open. But I my heart broke when they gave us everything in large plastic containers even though we dined in. Also, no Recycle bun, well that I was able to tell. Rival please fix this soon since itβs the way of the future. I might not come back if that doesnβt change.
Best breakfast sandwich Iβve ever had. Knowledgeable staff of ingredients for drinks. My fav place in Temecula for coffee. Although itβs the only place Iβve beenπ€
This is a great venue to have breakfast and coffee. There is enough space inside and outside to sit.An excellent place to have a quick business meeting.
I think this is one of the most trendy places Iβve ever been to. As a college student, thatβs definitely saying something. I wish I would have tried their Rose Cardamom, but their lavender latte was amazing so Iβm happy!
If you havent been here yet you are missing out! The coffee is amazing and hand crafted! The food is well... stupid good. Dont deprive yourself any longer this place is a must try !
One of my fav spots. Good food, good drinks, clean and friendly staff. Could not ask for more
Coffee and Breakfast is soooo good. And fast Service... one of the best coffee/Breakfast spots Ive ever been to.
Great hidden secret coffee house!And good food!
Had the carnitas stacker or something like that lol but either way it was effin bomb, and they also serve cocktails and beer so cant go wrong here def worth the visit
Great coffee, food was good. The place was very busy but just looked like they could use some more staff to help speed things up.
The coffee was almost as terrible as the customer service. However, it was nice to overhear what to do in Murrieta from the baristas only talking to each other.
Amazing!!! We have been here several times and it doesnt disappoint at all. The breakfast pasta is sooooo good! I also recommend the hibiscus hype tea cold of course! Their coffee is also really good. You really cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is also top notch! And they are a small business!!!
IS THERE NOONE ELSE!?! No coffee shop rivals Rival Coffee! Ryan and Christina are the best people ever and the supporting cast are welcoming, very friendly and professional. The coffee and food here is AMAZING! Need a spot to recharge with caffeine? Need a spot to just relax and chill, do homework, business, socialize? Go to Rival Coffee. And their attached Sips n Eats is the place to bring a date or friend for events and comedy shows! Why are you still reading this review? Get up and go visit Rival Coffee. and if you like pennies and coins - check out their penny table! ^_^-Manny, Saara, Emily
Great service, food and coffee! Super cute place!
My wife took me there. She said the breakfast was really good. It was just okay for me. I ordered the egg and sausage burrito. Didnt have a lot of flavor. Didnt like the chipotle sauce. Eggs were too smushy. My wife ordered the breakfast bowl. Her food looked better and tasted better. Not sure if I would go back...
We went there 2 days Im a row starting on opening day and their food and service were great. If I ever travel back this way Id definitely stop by here again. Portions are LARGE, and all the drinks that had Popsicles in them were absolutely amazing both flavor wise and as eye candy.
They have good cinnamon rolls and I also like the cheese Danish!
Awesome experience with great food and coffee! Got the Hannah Banana, The Rival Sandwich (amazing!), chocolate milk and the stack of pancakes for the family. It was a little pricey than I wanted to spend for breakfast but happy to support this small business!
The staff is awesome. The drinks are delicious, and the food is good.
Yum! I dont remember the name of my fancy coffee, but it had peanut butter and marshmallow in it. Something monkey and it was delicious. Their serving of baked oatmeal was huge, and I ate it throughout the day for breakfast, 2nd breakfast, snack, lunch, and 2nd lunch!! Highly recommended!!
Good items are basic and bland, Coffee items are good but they need to variety - Iβm not not talking Starbucks variety but some of the items seem redundant, also I got a Hype Berry Lemonade - it was good but not memorable - it was tart - it was overall not a bad place and tied to be more trendy for my taste,
Always very friendly customer service they make you feel super welcome, and the food and coffee is AMAZING. Such a cute place to hang out the vibe is one of the best around!
It is a nice affordable place to go for coffee with friends, or search the web while eating an avocado toast.
Great environment to chill and eat. Food was delicious and fresh.
No return. The staff was friendly. The 4 drinks we ordered were expensive and not worth drinking. Sad.π
1st time here and it was great. Cant wait to come back.
Stopped in this morning after passing it every morning. Loved the design, the friendly team members and the coffee. Had the Rose Cardamom latte, which I can recommend. A bit hard to find but worth the effort
Just had a great experience at Rival Coffee! Not only is the atmosphere fresh and modern, the food delicious, and the coffee tasty...the customer service is exemplary! After making a mistake on our order and overcharging my parents, the owner Christina rectified the situation with class, sincerity, and friendliness. She showed us what pride of ownership in a small business looks like, and proved that she cares about her customers experiences. Cant wait to come back again!
Want a coffee β?? Prepare yourself to pull out that cash!!!π°π²π°π²This place is cool, and seems modern and all but honestly it is not worth it.I wanted a cold brew and the price was almost $6 for the medium. A friend got a small special coffee drink with almond and payed $7.40.I like a coffee shop to be affordable, so I can go daily to get some work done.Unless they bring down their prices I wont step foot inside. Its NOT Worth it.I would give a 1 star, but I think they deserve 2 because the place looks pretty nice on the inside.
Fries were pretty good. Other items not so good.... The bread in the sandwich was stale. They forgot a brownie I ordered. Pina colada tea was very watered down. That was disgusting... I do not recommend that.
Newer place and very up beat and trendy! Owner is there and his son, really awesome people. Behind Mesa high-school by Holiday Inn Hotel by Target on Cal Oaks. Has a good breakfast menu and a bar as well. Good music and some screens with music videos playing. Great atmosphere and great service! Hope this place gets up and going like it deserves!
I have had pretty good food and coffee here and the staff is extraordinarily friendly! Murrieta needed a large coffee house to meet, work and relax, and this fits the ticket.The complaint I have, and the reason I am turned off, is that the music video screen, which is a full wallβs size, was playing inappropriate music videos the full two hours I was there. I had driven through twice, but after dining in, I was not a happy customer. It is distasteful see women in bikinis, dancing provocatively at mid-morning in a coffee shop. People might want to have a casual business meeting or Bible study; maybe a girl wants a guy to take her on a coffee (not a club) date and have him look at her, not distracted by the images in the background. I have three boys, and Iβm careful about what I expose them to. Itβs disheartening to me that we canβt have any distinction between adult places of entertainment and a coffee shop. Whether they serve alcohol or not, a coffee shop in the daytime should be a place anyone can drop into and not be confronted with videos that are just in poor taste.Also, a changing table in the bathroom would be really helpful for guests with babies, like me and my friend who brought our infant daughters for a mom date.Thanks for considering a would-be customerβs hopefully helpful constructive criticism .
Found this place by accident. Very happy we did . Unique flavors. Great customer service.
OMG! What can I say???.Great coffee and friendly staff. I cant wait to eat at SIPS! I think we are actually going to dine in tomorrow π
Great options. Cubano is my favorite! Love the vibe. Sat for hours and just chilled and enjoyed my company!
AMAZING! FABULOUS CUSTOMER SERVICE! If youre looking for a place to hang out with your friends, eat some good food, drink some great coffee, maybe even get some work done on your computer.. this is the place to go!
My wife loves this place. Its a bit pricey, but happy wife, happy life.
I ordered cappuccino with oat milk. Oat milk ran me an extra dollar. It was very surprising how expensive milk substitution is. Very often even the Bay area coffee shops charge only $0.50 to $0.70 extra.My cappuccino was just okay. Oat milk was foamed very heavily, with approximately 1/3 of the drink being foam. It tasted a bit sour for whatever reason. Not sure what brand theyre using, but Ive had better ones.The overall atmosphere is quite good. They are open inside during the pandemic, the outdoor area is also available. Overall, I might give a shot having another, different drink there, but it certainly would not be my first choice.
I went through the drive thru on a early Sunday morning and it was quick. It didnt take more then a minute to order and be on my way.But then again, I was the only one in the drive thru. Lol.
This place is great. The employees and everyone are great. Good vibes. Food, dinks and cocktails are perfect. I dig it
This was my first time here and ordered a Matcha Latte. I was looking for a coffee shop nearest me that wasnt a star bucks, as I like to support other local joints. I love Matcha so I decided to try theirs. Im sorry to say but it was awful. I couldnt even drink it. Its seems that the quality of matcha they have must be really low due to the brownish green color of the Latte and the burnt flavor, rather than a lovely light mint green color with a slightly sweet grassy taste.I would still go back and try their London Fog and maybe some food, but definitely stay away from the Matcha Latte.The customer service was great though and Im sure the coffees are much better as it is a coffee shop after all.
Great food. And great and strong coffee! The best!
Food and drinks are delicious and we received great service. Highly recommend. Definitely will be returning.
Good atmosphere, good food. I great place to chill out, or have a meeting. Cant wait to go again!
Really great coffee and such a great atmosphere! The food is also really good too! Definitely worth a stop for anyone in the neighborhood and beyond!
Good coffee but their cinnamon bun is amazing! Next time I have to try out their restaurant that just opened up.
I love the different choices in food. I love love LOVE THE PLACE friendly awsome crew I cant wait until the restaurant opens
Love the vibe! Great food, amazing coffee and service. Cant wait for the full service sips and eats to open!!!
Good coffee, music & naked faces by all. Free to be human here:-)
This place is good but its over priced
The food was delicious, drinks were alright. Enjoyed the atmosphere. Decent place overall.
Food avacado toast,and honey coffee is delicious. I have been here twice. The only concern I have is that today I wanted to go in and order. 5 girls walked in with no masks. 2 girls came out with no mask. I got back in my car and went through the drive through. I like to support small businesses.
Great place great coffee overall really good go there if you are close
Great food and coffee. Additionally, the staff are always really friendly. Excellent guest service.
Fantastic new coffee spot. Bye Bye Starbucks. Great food options as well...of course fantastic coffee.
The different coffees all taste the same, not my favorite
Every time we come here we try a new coffee. Great favors on the menu. The service here is extremely friendly.I had the rival breakfast sandwiche the other day and it changed my life. LolCheck this place out if you live in town or passing through.
I didnt like all of the plastic To go containers being used for in person dining. The food was yummy!!!
Love this place! Owners are great, staff is friendly. Enjoyable
The coffee is excellent and their breakfasts are very good. I think they make best lattes. Pastries are always nice and fresh
Nice new coffee place in Murrieta. The customer service was excellent and the staff is warm and friendly. We order the Breakfast Burrito and Banana bread, both excellent. Highly recommend this place.
Staff is super friendly and the srating area was very spacious and clean. I had the Hannah Banana coffee and it was ππ½ didnt try the food but everything sounds and looks so delicious. Will definitely be back to try the avocado π₯ meals.
This place is pretty awesome. Perfect for catching up with girlfriends! Indoor & outside seating. Great coffee & food! β€οΈ
Star Trek. Yeah, Rival makes me think of the Enterprise. Like solitude in motion. Try the Hannah Banana π. Make it so!
Fun hipster vibe... Amazing breakfast food, awesome teas... Cant wait to return
Always a great place to go.
Nice, spacious coffee place with excellent coffee! Service was good with cheerful and engaging employees. Excellent place to sit with friends and enjoy a cup of coffee.
I stumbled upon this place a couple weeks ago and Iβm hooked! Delicious flavor combinations and high quality products. And BONUS they have a drive thru!
Awesome place. Great environment. Friendly staff and amazing product. Could not recommend enough!
Rival Coffee Company (RC2) is owned, operated, and staffed by some of the greatest people in the Valley! The customer experience is fantastic.Food: The Rival Breakfast Sandwich, flatbreads, and the breakfast pasta are my top 3 choicesDrinks: The cinnamon/vanilla iced coffe and white chocolate hot are very tasty.Id give this place 10 πs if I could
This place is so good!!! The loaded fries are the best!!!!π
A brand new coffee shop! Its very spacious and clean. Coffee is extremely good.
Really great coffee and food place! Highly recommend
Food and drinks are delicious but several staff members, including in the kitchen, do not wear masks while taking and preparing orders. If you donβt care about covid safety, youβll really like it here. If you do, I suggest you go elsewhere.
This place is amazing!! Great coffee, great food and good people. Environment is welcome.
The food, drinks, atmosphere and especially customer service were AMAZING. Such a great environment, and the staff was extremely genuine and helpful.
I absolutely love this place, the people here are so kind and the food is amazing!! Ill definitely be coming back.
Great place
It has an amazing environment but the coffee wasnt as good as Starbucks. It was good though.
