Saw the actress Morena Baccarin, from Deadpool, n Gotham, here about a week ago. Great people watching spot across from the historic Mission Inn.

Came across this nice location, cool vibes, calm and quiet. Great service and good Vanilla Chai!Was disappointed in the price, for a 16oz Iced Dirty Chai I somehow paid $7.89 didn’t get anything other than the drink.

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 its a great spot for my break from work.

A fantastic way to start your morning with a cup of your favorite drink. Cozy coffee shop with a great vibe. Excellent views from the seating area.

I came here to catch up with a friend. I had an espresso shot (double) and a regular coffee. Dont 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 didnt 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 youll see the Molinos sign.

Favorite coffee shop to study.✅ Wifi✅ Power Outlets✅ Indoor / Outdoor seating available✅ Snacks and foodWifi is sometimes spotty but I use my phone as a hot spot so it is not an issue for me.Can get a bit loud crowded during peak hours. Some noice cancelling headphones do the trick.There is usually a few college students studying and you can expect it to get full during midterms and finals season.Most importantly the coffee is good. 👌🏻

RIVERSIDE COFFEE CHIC.Had the chance to visit this place while I was in town. I love getting coffee in new places and Molinos sis not disappoint. My wife had the Almond Milk Cappuccino and I just a regular cappuccino. Would have loved to spend more time sitting and drinking, but maybe next time.If you’re in town, give it a taste. You’ll enjoy your morning more.

Tasty coffee but theyre only open until about 7 or wish they were open

Lovely coffee shop across the street from the Mission Inn. Coffee is smooth and fresh. The food is so made fresh to order. Loved having this alternative to Starbucks.My only notes are that the rose latte wasnt very rosie at all but still refreshing as I got it iced. And the Cafe con leche which they make seem like it will be Cuban style is nothing more than espresso and milk. No sugar. So if youre expecting a Cuban style coffee that is not what you will get. But the coffee is so smooth it was awesome anyways.

Really good coffee!👌🏻😋

I needed a place to study and get good coffee, and this place was the right choice. I also got a yummy acai bowl. It has some good places to study with a nice view of the Mission Inn across the street. Its in fun part of Riverside to hang out and walk around.

Really appreciate good coffee, but I appreciate great customer service even more. Although I went at a busy lunch time, I was able to sit down and drink my coffee comfortably while being able to get work done. I had the vanilla iced latte which was really good, definitely recommend.Its very nicely decorated, some would say asthetically pleasing.The menu is full of great coffee, whether theyre hot or iced. Definitely have to try different styles. I like the big mugs they use and that you can add whatever youd like in their bar.

Nice atmosphere.. great and friendly staff. Good place for enjoying breakfast and coffee.

Very cute coffee house. Coffee is very good. They also have very light choices of food and lots of pastries. I wish they had avocado toast on sourdough bread that would be amazing! They have outside and inside seating. I would recommend.

Truly one of my favorite places to grab a bite and talk with friends. The staff is always friendly - regardless of how busy it is and the food portions are superb compared to other coffee shops. Diffidently try there French toast sticks!

Amazing staff and coffee. Tried the French press medium roast and it was strong and flavorful. Atmosphere is great and the decor is very original. Not too loud here making it a great place to study. One of the best coffee shops in downtown Riverside area. Alot of college students come here to study.

The coffee is pretty decent, but it is NOT worth the wait. Every time I have come here I wait for at least 20 minutes for my coffee to be made. Today, I was the only customer in the store, I ordered an iced Americano, one of their specialty drinks, and a cold brew and I waited like I have every other time. Give em 2 stars for consistency!

The best pastries and Cuban food.

Great environment and really pleasant staff. Coffee was great as well!

Love this place! Great place to go grab some coffee and catch up with friends or family

Nice place to chill, kick back, take 5. Staff is friendly.

I got an açaí bowl. It was a decent bowl, but I don’t like that I was charged an extra $1 for blueberries that look like raisins. Give me fresh ingredients.

Americano gets one point, it’s like water lol latte with oat milk gets 3, staff member gets 5

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!

Love their affogatos

Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches!

Its located right on mission, where there seems to be a lot of unsavory characters in abundance

Good coffee, however it is pricey

Nice local spot to grab a coffee, chill, socialize, or due homework.

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!

Molinos has stellar coffee options. I come here as much as I can because they have premium coffee. Its my favorite coffee shop in town.

Fancy. Night club, coffee, antique shop. Triple threat

Favorite place to get coffee. For me its a mandatory stop when I come to Riverside when I visit the in-laws😁☕Try the Lavender Latté 🌿

Great staff good coffee

Atmosphere is calm and there is a great view to the street. Only one worker when I came so service was a little slow. Will come again

Ok coffee shop, but only Starbucks quality. Furthermore, the location smells of food rather than the fresh aroma of coffee. Please see my photo for the quality of latte you will receive. This is an in and out coffee shop I didnt feel quality was as important to them.

I don’t even know if this qualifies as a cappuccino. It was just coffee with an inch of foam floating on top. If I could give it half a star I would.

Good coffee and friendly staff.

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

I got a delicious vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich. Love the atmosphere here! Took my daughter here with my guy. Great little coffee date spot.

Best coffee place in Downtown Riverside!I love getting coffee here. I also really like the acai bowl. (Its solid acai.)Afterwards -Before COVID - it was great to do work here.Only downside is sometimes there are homeless people that harass you, or they reek. However, thats the case for most places Downtown. 🤷‍♂️

Lavender vanilla latte is the bomb! Also try the cordtadito! Brown sugar and espresso....I forget what else, but its on point.

Great coffee. Ordered 4 different coffees and all were great.

Great coffee. Above average covid precautions. Cool spot.

Service was good, drinks were good, and everything was clean.

Molinos is one of my favorite small coffee shops in Riverside. Great coffee same great atmosphere. This is the 1stb time I have been in since they opened back up after the covid-19 restrictions and they have made some adjustments but nothing that takes away from what I experienced prior to this. Highly recommend.

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.

Its a really nice coffee shop. I tried the hot apple cider with whipped cream, which was pretty good. It is located next to a antique type of shop and its interesting to explore.

Incredible little coffee shop, have came here to meet up with colleagues and its beats your typical starbucks. Lates come in a big cup and serving sizes seem to be bigger than normal on foods. The enviroment is great, the staff was super friendly (even when busy) and just all around has a fowntown urban vibe. Reminds me of small niche shops in LA or SF... if youre into that kind of vibe, youll probably want to stay longer than the time needed.

Weekly weekend coffee fix 😍

Coffee was good but not amazing. Tasted a little too bitter for my liking. But, if thats your preference this may be for you! Servers were friendly and you cant beat this location which is directly across from the Mission Inn.

Sadly, they were quite under staffed, 1 guy, 8+ people in line. Poor guy he did his best to serve and take irders.The Ice coffee was undrinkable, quite bitter and the date on the batch was 2/3/20, 13 days old! We attempted to drink it but tossed it after carrying it around for an hour.Love the shop, they need to step up the quality and service!

Hot bagels with coffee is really great.

Local spot, with great espresso variations. Delicious!

Great coffee and great service! I dont know of another place in Riverside that makes lavender lattes so I definitely recommend this place!

Great drink options with a great view of Mission Inn and very friendly service!

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.

Have only been here once(a few minutes ago actually.)I recommend the Affogato, the ice cream with the espresso shot comes out strong but if you take your time it wont be as good, so finish it quickly!Every other drink my friends got were pretty good, prices were fair for the quantity.

Always a favorite! Superb coffee and equally impressive service.

Love the coffee and the Bagels and the smoothies and great customer service love going there but its a bit expensive but othed than that its a great coffee shop

Lovely, very lovely staff🏵️

I can say this place does it for me. Nothing but pleasant experiences here. This place has a nice design. Food is like a place in Baltimore I loved.

I love Molinas lemonade with lavender it was so delicious! I boycotted Starbucks and the other coffee shop down the street why? Because they got political and showed a video that was anti Trump I dont think coffee shop should be showing videos about Trump or the one world order or gay rights just being neutral and let us enjoy our conversation with our friends and our break time

Great little coffee shop in downtown Riverside that serves a variety of specially coffee drinks as well as traditional brewed coffee and espresso. They also offer some light food options though I must confess I havent tried anything other than drinks so far. Great atmosphere and great coffee though!

Cold brew tastes like water, is very clear. What a let down trying to support small business. I recommend Augies Coffee instead

Normally I would have posted a pic but food looked so good I couldnt stop. The staff was friendly and sociable. It has a great feel to it. Atmosphere is similar to a place in Columbus I loved.

Came in on a recommendation. Glad we did. It is a cute coffee shop with plenty of room to relax. Ordered the affogato and loved it. A nice treat after having lunch below the shop. Would love to come back to try the sweet treats they had. All looked delicious.

Great food & coffee, friendly staff, nice ambience.

Filled me up in no time. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back. The place has an awesome feel to it. Ambience reminds me of San Diegos scene.

It was so fresh. Staff treated us so kindly. The place has a good atmosphere. Reminds me of a cafe in Chicago I loved to visit.

Loved their Latte

Great vibe here.

Coffee was so, so. Service was really slow.

The service here is better than most. It has an awesome atmosphere. Menu is like a cafe in Boston I liked.

Visited on Fri I believe. The service was helpful and kind. This place has a great design. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

Great coffee, good vibes.

Open early enough during the work week. 6am is about as early as you need for a quick cup of coffee and a pastry before heading to any meeting/ appointment in downtown. Nice staff, could use an extra person as Im sure it picks up later in the day. (Stopped by before 7am)

Great coffee, though selection is limited to the basics plus Cuban offerings. Helpful, nice staff. Took a bag of beans home and enjoyed those as well. Located inside the Hideaway Cafe so we missed it on our first walk by.

I tried their coffee with oat milk and it didnt disappoint.

Usually a coffee drinker but tried the hibiscus iced tea & it was amazing! Good bagels, muffins, & really nice service. Right across the street from Mission Inn so perfect spot to take in all of the holiday decor.

Dropped in on Tues. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Prices were average for the menu. Makes me feel like I am back in Sacramento.

Vanilla chai with an added espresso shot. Very yummy! We got a blueberry muffin and it was so good! Also had their breakfast sandwich which was yummy.

Great location in Downtown Riverside . The cortaditos are some of the best Ive ever had

In terms of convenience... Only if youre on foot is it much easier to. The struggle with the parking is bad. However this little overpriced Street Cafe is comfortable and loaded with great menu selections and staffed with very friendly servers. Worth the trip if youre Hiking through ~V.

Great place for a coffee. A positive environment and a great view. I really like this coffee shop. Go Molinos Coffee!

Service is prompt even when they are busy. the staff was very kind and attentive. prices were decent. reminds me of a cafe in chicago i loved to visit.

Beyond the fact that this place has absolutely amazing service and friendly staff their food and coffee is great. They have a large variety of coffee drinks, I was especially impressed with their cortado which I had never tried before. Food is amazing as well. Great place for a quick coffee date with a friend or somewhere to do some homework and hang out.

Filled me up in no time. Service is typically above par. Prices are appropriate for the quality. If it wasnt far from my work I would come by more.

I always have a nice experience when I go there. The coffee is exquisite, the snacks as well. I love the view and the service is pretty good. Its one of my favorites places to either study or relax.

Nice location & decor. As for my requested: Scolding hot mocha! Fail

I stopped by here to meet a friend. The atmosphere is pretty calm and the place had a quiet noise of people typing on their laptops or chit-chatting with their friends. I had a cup of tea and sat on the patio. It was dusk but there werent that many people out there. The service wasnt that bad, but there was nothing that struck me as to why I should come back. Plus after dark the local homeless population comes out and while no one bothered me directly, I was definitely looking over my shoulder.

Super cool little space. It can get crowded, but they have outdoor seating as well, and theyre right down the street from the main street promenade. The iced spiced chai is killer and the lavender lemonade is super refreshing.

Great food with quality ingredients. Staff treated us so nice. They have a lot of great reviews for a reason.

Very helpful staff and very polite. Great little place with great coffee and breakfast options. Will definitely be back again!

First time visit... Coffee cold the or hot is good as any other coffee shop...Cozier environment though...Homie feeling

The coffee is good, but pricey and service is slow, but staff is friendly.

Good pastries but the staff could not look so indifferent about working there.

During the festival of people. I ordered,asked if there were free refills. The attendant answered with a yes. Retuning for my refill, I waited in line. The same person said, there would be 70 percent charge on the refill.Ok I wont return.

Good coffee good service

Molinos is a great place to come and relax and have a great cup of coffee. I like the red eye, it really gives you a jump start. And they also have breakfast, and lunch. The service is always great, and friendly staff. You can also get healthy breakfast,selections the oatmeal is my favorite.
