Everyone is so nice who works here!! Iced latte is literally the best I’ve ever had, and my boyfriend devoured their rival breakfast burrito! The vibe is great and there is ample seating

First time here today as my partner has a new job in the area and I was charging up our car. Sophia took amazing care of me, asking questions to help get to the perfect drink (an iced blueberry pancake latte) and the rival breakfast sandwich was delicious and spot on. I am looking forward to coming back to try more of their drinks and food! Thank you for being a rockstar Sophia!

Delicious coffees and food. My favorite is the honey vanilla iced latte. You also can't go wrong with the "rival' sandwich. Always great service from the drive thru window. Thank you Rival Coffee crew.

Ordered 4 Iced Cookie Butter Lattes, 2 iced Match Lattes, and a Rival Breakfast sandwich. The Cookie Butter lattes were fantastic and delicious, they use Housemade syrups, drinks were not overly sweet but had great flavor. My wife loved the matcha, and whole family loved there coffee. The service was fast and efficient, and the breakfast sandwich was fresh and chef made, unique flavor especially with the bomb tomato Jam on it! Yum! The atmosphere was good, catered more to a younger crowd with the louder music though. We definitely will come back by when in town visiting again! Prices were also pretty fair for delicious fresh made food and and drinks with Housemade syrups. They also make in house filled donuts, didn’t get to try, but seemed like they would be good. 👍🏻 they also have fresh brewed teas available as well.

Tried this place out and have no regrets. I had the lavender vanilla hot latte and my mom had the banana hot latte. We both loved the taste of our drink. We both ordered the same breakfast, which was the egg sausage breakfast sandwich on a pretzel bun. It was kinda sweet. Lovely decor. I like that they have a bar and separate sitting areas. Menu choices are good. Fair prices. Good quality. There was a problem with my order and the employee corrected it right away. Will be returning.

What a cute little (but big) coffee shop! The vibe was all there! When I walked in Harry Styles was laying on the big screen and I felt so hip! The cashier was super nice and patient as I was looking over the menu since it was my first time. I ended up ordering the cookie batter and the rival breakfast sandwich. Everything was super delicious!! I ABSOLUTELY loved that sandwich! It was so flavorful with every bite! I sat there reading a book and enjoying all the scenery that this place offered. There was seating in what seemed like the main eating area, there’s a outdoor seating, and then there’s this darker room where you can sit and work or hang out.

we didn't notice that there was a drive thru until we left but i think we made the right decision by going inside and enjoying the environment and our drinks too. they have some breakfast and lunch options available to order including french fries which we will be coming back for. the music they had playing in the lobby area was awesome and really tied in the atmosphere completely. there are a ton of instagram worthy spots all around the building which is nice too. i highly suggest visiting this small business because the coffee was absolutely on point. we will be visiting again and trying a banana flavor i read about hopefully.

We like that they have great iced tea options in addition to coffee (pic is of a tea "soda" and a pistachio 50/50). They also have good food and a varied selection of items, especially for a coffeehouse. We would love it if they had GF bread/bagel options. The atmosphere is fine. The day we went, the music was just a bit too loud the to talk to each other over.

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.😊 Good job guys!

I'm a regular at this coffee shop. I showed up seconds before closing time on Friday and was worried I wouldn't get my fix. Angel and Denise quickly took my order and were extremely friendly. They deserve a raise.

Stopped here to quickly fuel up during a long drive and every single thing hit! Husband’s peppermint mocha was a 10/10, my matcha was delicious, and the Rhode Island bagel was basically an adult pizza bagel (another 10/10). Kristian helped us out and was great at the drive thru. Big ups to Rival. Thank you!

This is the best food I have ever had from a coffee shop. We came because it was near a charging station and we had some time to burn. We were all quite surprised by the food quality. Most coffee shops just throw premade food in the oven. This is a step above the rest.

CHILL COFFEE & STUDY ZONE! I spent two hours chilling on a table at Rival’s outdoor patio. They had an amazing playlist and quiet atmosphere. I was able to read a manuscript while I was there without interruption. Rival’s patio is shaded and has plenty of seating. I ordered a cold brew with a splash of oat milk to taste test the brew, I can confirm it was amazing coffee! I definitely want to dedicate more time coming to Rival, it’s worth the buzz! I stepped inside and the coffee shop had a cool aesthetic with large coffee bags lining the shop and great use of natural lighting. The barista at the counter was decent, he was a little somber. However, the service was super FAST and efficient. I was so happy I got my coffee in less than 5 mins! I also want to visit for poetry night, my Mom and I haven’t been able to make it but I drove by one night and it was hoping! Lots of folks came by for an evening of caffeinated joy and spoken word.

Matcha was just okay, definitely could use a little bit more matcha being that it was a tiny bit too milky for my liking BUT the Anaheim breakfast sandwich was literally the best breakfast sandwich i’ve EVER had! the mildly sweet bacon went perfectly with the slight spiciness of the peppers. NO NOTES.

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. I've 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. I've had variations of their coffees and each is unique. I'd 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 !

It was fine overall. The space is big and spacious, plenty of room for people working, studying, or hanging out. Some people were even playing cards. All good there. It does look like they might be going through some remodeling. When you read the menu and look at the website, you get a certain expectation… but what we actually received didn’t really match what the website shows. Not necessarily misleading, just underwhelming compared to the presentation online. Now, was the food bad? No. It was fine. It just wasn’t anything memorable or impressive. To be fair, the menu didn’t lie about what was in my burrito. It just ended up being very basic. They clearly put a lot of effort into their online image, so you expect something a bit elevated, and then what you get feels a little plain. We ordered a bacon burrito (one regular and one keto style). It was literally just eggs with some pieces of bacon wrapped in a tortilla (we asked for the sauce on the side). The keto version was the same egg, bacon, and cheese mixture placed in a plastic container. Honestly, it didn’t look very appealing, almost like it had been scooped out of a can. We also asked for no cheese, but they told us they couldn’t remove it because it all “comes together mixed in”. So keep that in mind if you have any kind of dairy intolerance. We also ordered the Island Bagel. I wish I had taken a picture because it was oily, and the cheese looked like it had been frozen and thawed. It reminded me of something straight out of a Costco package, or like a bagel mixed with a hot pocket type thing. Nothing special. The coffee, however, was good and tasty. They also had very Clean restrooms. Overall, I think the expectations set by the website don’t really match the in-person experience. Maybe that’s on me for expecting more, but we were going off their presentation online, and the quality just didn’t line up

We got a Chai Latte and a Stupid Cupid Latte, the chai was good but stupid Cupid Latte tasted a bit burnt. We also ordered avocado toast and it was ok just avocado on toast with steak seasoning, the sausage burrito was 90% egg, 5% cheese and 5% sausage.

I've tried 3 times now and I just do not understand the hype. Coffee is not good, espresso drinks taste burnt, lattes taste watered down but are made with whole milk. The breakfast sandwich has maybe 1 strip of bacon diced up on it, a fried piece of provolone that honestly has no place on the sandwich. 35 for 2 breakfast sandwichs and 2 very sad , flavorless lattes

5 of us got coffee here. I ordered a flat white but the newer barista didn’t know how to make it (should’ve been a sign). Another barista came and explained what it is. We also got two of their sodas. Apple crisp was actually delicious. However, kiwi strawberry was so bad that my child didn’t even drink it. Iced Matcha latte was also good. Maple latte and flat white were atrocious. Didn’t even finish them. Out of the 5 drinks only 2 were good (apple crisp & matcha latte). Rest went to their trash bin.

I really wanted to like this place — the vibe is great, the atmosphere is cozy, and I love that they host poetry nights. But the food and drinks just didn’t hit. I ordered the maple brown sugar shaken coffee and a bacon breakfast burrito. The coffee tasted watered down with no real flavor, and the burrito was so salty I couldn’t even finish it. For me, the ambiance was the only highlight. Unfortunately, everything else was a no.

I wanted to visit this coffee shop, but some of the pictures they posted online are misleading. They're absolutely overpriced and you don't get what you pay for. Not even close. I ordered Carnitas Fries for a dinner with a friend, which they charge $15 (plus tax!) for, and out came a tiny, square box. Smaller than one you get at even Del Taco. The size for when you have leftovers at a restaurant!! A hand full of fried with a spoon of meat for dinner, for $15 ?!! Friends, you can go to a Restaurant in Temecula and get a whole plate of Carnitas Fries for this price and not be ripped off like this. The audacity! If you want to eat real food, do NOT come here. Go anywhere else. Very very disappointing to say the least. Never again.

$40 for this and two coffees. I felt nauseous after a couple bites of the carnitas and threw my food away. They only gave us a half order of the carne asada fries we ordered and didn’t even put carne asada on it. I stopped to eat here today in the middle of a long drive and will make sure not to stop here again.
