Espumita Cuban Coffee — Restaurant in Riverside

I visited Espumita Cuban Coffee a few days ago and I’m still thinking about how great my experience was. From the second I walked in, I felt welcomed. The shop has such a warm, inviting vibe—you can tell the owners put a lot of love and thought into the space, from the décor to the music, to the way everything feels comfortable and homey. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your coffee rather than rush out the door.

The service was exceptional. The barista who crafted my drink—I believe his name was Angel—was not only super friendly, but also incredibly talented. He made me a drink that blew me away. The espresso here is handmade with such care, and it tastes like no other I’ve had before. It’s smooth and sweet, with just the perfect balance between bitterness and richness. You can tell right away it’s crafted with skill and attention to detail, not something rushed or generic.

On top of that, Angel even added latte art to my drink, which made it extra special. It’s those little touches that really show the pride and passion behind what they do here. Every sip felt intentional, and I can honestly say it was one of the best coffee experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Another thing that really stood out was how well Angel and another barista (I don’t remember his name) worked together. Everything felt smooth and organized, like they really knew how to keep the flow going while still making sure every customer was taken care of. It made the whole experience feel effortless and enjoyable.

What stood out the most overall is how much love is poured into every aspect of this café. The owners deserve a lot of credit for creating such a welcoming atmosphere and maintaining such a high standard for their coffee. It’s rare to find a place that balances quality, service, and environment so perfectly, but Espumita Cuban Coffee nails it.

If you’re a coffee lover, especially if you appreciate authentic, carefully made espresso, this is the spot to go. Between the outstanding drinks, the craftsmanship of the baristas like Angel, the smooth and attentive service, and the cozy, community-driven feel of the café, Espumita Cuban Coffee is truly a gem. I can’t wait to come back—and this time, I’ll be bringing friends with me so they can...

Went in today with my family and got some of their most popular drinks and man were they amazing ! They were so rich and smooth! The Cuban pastelito was my favorite it had cream cheese and guava so delicious the young man and girl working their were super nice and attentive made our drinks quick and easy and the service was amazing. My only thing I will say is that every-time the young girl was trying to take our order the owner would constantly interrupt her.. I get that he wants to make everyone feel welcomed but it was constantly and he would do it every order she would take I was confused as too who was taking my order him or her.. I felt so bad. She would just stand there not knowing what to say or do. Also having a full conversation with people backing up the line. If you could talk to the customers out of the cashier so people can order that would be nice (owner). Otherwise everything was great I would just suggest letting your workers take the order and than Greet your clients because I did find that rude towards the young girl.. she looked and sounded like she knew what she was doing so I didn’t understand that constant interruption when she was doing her job. But otherwise great place ! Great drinks I will be back! Come and check this place out ! Came...

Espumita Cuban Coffee in Riverside is a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is special. The interior is super cool and unique, with an old Cuban car right inside—such a fun touch that sets it apart from your typical coffee shop. The space is clean, cozy, and gives off a nice, authentic vibe that's hard to find these days.

I tried a few of their pastries, and they were pretty good! Fresh, flavorful, and a perfect pairing with their coffee. Speaking of coffee, it was excellent! I appreciated that they were nice enough to let me sample a coffee before I made my decision, ensuring I got exactly what I wanted. It's always great to see a shop that’s genuinely focused on getting it right for their customers.

Overall, it’s a refreshing change from the usual Starbucks, Dutch Bros, Peet's, or Coffee Bean. Espumita has something truly unique to offer, from the atmosphere to the quality of the coffee and pastries. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're...
