What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stopped into Copper Goat Coffee in downtown Riverside and instantly loved the vibe. The shop is clean, welcoming, and has that perfect mix of “grab-and-go” energy and “stay-and-work” comfort. My drink was smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made by someone who cares about consistency—not overly sweet, not burnt, just right. The staff was friendly and efficient even with a steady flow of customers, and they were happy to answer questions without making you feel rushed. It’s the kind of place that makes downtown Riverside feel even more alive—great coffee, great service, and a spot you’ll want to come back to. Highly recommend if you’re anywhere nearby."
"Copper Goat Coffee is hands down one of the best coffee spots around. The owner is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do—you can feel it the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The barista was also amazing—super nice, friendly, and made the experience even better with his positive energy and attention to detail. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte, and it was perfection—smooth, lightly floral, and just the right balance of sweetness. It was comforting and unique without being overpowering, the kind of drink you think about long after you’ve finished it. Amazing coffee, even better people. I’ll definitely be coming back."
"Such a cute coffee shop! The service, coffee, and atmosphere were all excellent but the real joy was meeting the owner. Awesome history of why he chose the name Copper Goat up inside. Great experience! I will definitely be back next time I’m downtown."
"I loved these muffins! First time trying cacao and it was amazing. Owner and employees are so friendly makes the experience a whole lot better! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves coffee!"
"Stumbled upon this gem and it instantly became my favorite coffee spot. The Ethiopian coffee is absolutely superb, rich, aromatic, and clearly sourced with care. Had a great chat with the owner, Teddy, genuine, down-to-earth, and passionate about what they do. The whole place has such a warm, friendly vibe."
"I'm always looking for a good local coffee shop and let's be honest there are not many in riverside. While in the downtown area, I just happened upon this..."
