Everything about the Arcade "family" is top tier. The food and coffee at every location is amazing. The workers are always friendly, the service is consistent, and what's better than supporting a small business group that goes above and beyond to support their local community? I'll always be a fan! Go. You won't regret it!

Good code and delicious food, what more could you want! Plus the vibes were immaculate. This is one of my favorite coffee shops to visit when I'm in town, and I'm so happy they put one in downtown!

Came for a weekend lunch here and was impressed with the coffee and food! I liked their lamb sausage sandwich and the restaurant had a good ambiance. Service was a bit slow but it was a bit busy. Will definitely be back to try more dishes!

The coffee was so good and the baristas were some of the nicest I have ever encountered. They made us feel welcomed and took their time explaining the menu and making recommendations. If I didn't live so far this would be my everyday go to. Thank you for your amazing service :)

I am happily updating my review after an early Saturday afternoon visit this weekend. The host was very pleasant and helpful, our male server and a blonde woman who I believe may have been a server as well, were both very helpful and attentive. The Brown Butter Carrot Muffin was so so good! I'm officially a pastry fan of theirs and the Cornbread + Crab Benedict? Let's talk about a knock out! I would absolutely order again. It was so good and fresh and flavorful. I am looking forward to my next visit as I know many others are, considering it was an almost packed house upon our arrival

Its been 2 years since they opened this location. So what took me so long? Or better yet, what took me so long to experience any of The Arcades at any of their locations? In case you are wondering, there is another Arcade and a bakery, Bakehouse, located in an upscale part of Riverside, Canyon Crest, which is not too far from the UCR campus. This location is located on the beautiful historic downtown promenade that is bracketed by Mission Inn, City Hall, and the magnificent 1904 Superior Court building. Parking is plenteous, especially if you use the multilevel parking structure right across the promenade from the cafe. There is also some street parking, but don't count on it. The interior is minimalist, industrial modern. There is plenty of small, flat top seating and counters with barstools. This location seems to be a popular spot for students and business professionals to meet or work on their laptops while nibbling and sipping on coffee drinks. Temptation smacks you in the face right as you enter. A small case of baked goods, muffins, cookies, scones, baked fresh daily at their sister location, Bakehouse, are there to torment you until you relent. I could not resist the Carrot Brown Butter muffin, and it did not disappoint. I chose my other breakfast items from their side order list. My scrambled eggs were wonderfully buttery, lightly salted, and very moist and delicious. To that, I added a side of bacon, 2 slices, that were thick, big, and nicely smokey. Perfect breakfast food! Mr. B had a big, beautiful, blueberry citrus scone. Very good! He added an Arc burger, prepared as a smash burger. The hamburger meat is made from beautifully aged beef and is quite rich tasting. This is a great tasting burger you will not regret ordering. On weekends, they serve from a brunch menu, not too terribly different than weekdays, with the exception of serving alcoholic beverages, too. Brunch on the weekend is by table service, and they recommend reservations. My coffee included a small cup of rich, thick cream. While I found it to be a bit thin, acidic, and floral for my usual tastes, it grew on me. That particular bean was Piccaal Fuente from El Salvador, a medium roast. Free refills. The only downside was with this type of Industrial modern, minimalist decor, I found it to be distractingly echo-y inside. The decor was softened with an artistic wall of hanging pathos plants. Outstanding service, friendly and caring staff. This is a great little spot that adds class to an already attractive downtown.

The workers here are so kind! It's nice having and LA brunch style cafe in the IE and the menu tasting as good as it looks! We tried the prosciutto and burrata tartine and it definitely hit the spot!

Ambiance - very modern and chill place Service- fast and friendly Food - veggie sandwich and chai latte. The chai latte had good spice. The veggie sandwich was amazing had pizzled cucumbers and peppers with Sprouts and fresh Avocado and onions. The garlic paste topped it off. Also liked the sourdough bread which is locally baked.
