Molinos Coffee — Restaurant in Riverside

1 star because their coffee and muffins are good. They need to work on their customer service. So I was totally disappointed with the service. First of all I love the coffee they serve & the service is honestly a hit and miss so far with my visits. I see a lot of clients and some are new to riverside they ask for recommendations and I always said Molinos coffee! It has a great view of the mission in, cozy during rainy days and the coffee is really good! I want to say that I went 2-3 times a week right after or before yoga, I've met up with friends at Molinos and had them try the peanut coffee.. but this morning was just a crappy experience. I had gone to Starbucks that is literally 2 minutes away from my house, the internet was down. ( and yes I bought a drink from them) so I decided to go to Molinos.. (15 minute drive ) I brought my coffee in and sat in the corner using my computer I was there for a hour and a half when some lady who works there finally looked at me and asked if everything ok? Looking at her confused she said "your in my coffee shop, using my internet, in a good wifi spot and you have Starbucks drink." I TOTALLY understand how that looks.. I just think she could've gone a different way about it. I think after I said " do you want me to buy something ? Because I can." She calmed down and was like " I hope you understand where I'm coming from" Whatever you lost my business and from now on I'm going to be a crybaby and complain to all my clients about what a crappy service I got. And FYI I did buy a banana muffin, I will def miss those. . But not your stank face. Maybe you should have a sign that says no outside drinks Or wifi for customers only. Didn't see...

Quicker than laxatives:

got drinks here a day or so back and they were honestly kinda ok… like nothing particular special or good about the coffee itself, it honestly tasted a bit burnt. however i’m not sure if it was a mix up with drinks or what happened but both me and my friend who had coffee (both with different milk options) both had the WORST food poisoning of our lives. i mean within 20 or so minutes both of us were just not doing great. i don’t typically leave reviews on places that have mid food or something unless there’s something special about it so here we are… i did in fact lose 10lbs due to the sheer amount of both stomach pain and food poisoning that spanned these last few days. also when someone asks for a milk alternative PLEASE make it very very very clear on the drink. that may have also contributed to the amount of pain experienced once the food poisoning cleared. yeah someone could just want oat milk but as someone with a very sensitive stomach i shouldn’t have to be in severe pain for days just because my coffee was written in code. also coffee itself was very lack luster in its flavoring. i mean seriously there was no difference in taste between my razz berry mocha and caramel something or other. both were pretty much the same. a lacriox is more distinct in flavor difference than the...

I have been looking for a nice little coffee shop to study, so on Sunday I decided to try out Molino’s, it was a little busy but nonetheless the service was decent. I went back on a Tuesday evening (around 6pm). As I waited in line, the girl at the cashier didn’t even acknowledge me standing in line ready to order and the other girl “cleaning” didn’t even ask me if I was ready to order. I have worked at a cafe before and it’s important to acknowledge someone when they walk in or are near the cash register with their money in their hands, ready to order, I think it’s just common sense. I even told the girl “I’m ready” and she didn’t even stop what she was doing to take my order. Anyways, I got annoyed and went to go sit down since these two girls didn’t want to take my order. Maybe 3 minutes later, 3 guys come in and these girls stop what they are doing and ask if they need any help or if they are ready to order. I will never come here in the evenings, I never felt so disrespected in my life. Like I am really not the person to complain but these girls have really bad customer service. They were extremely rude to me, I really wanted to like this place but sadly I will never...
