Better Be Donuts & Cafe
1015 E Alessandro Blvd, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“Better Be Donuts & Cafe feels like the kind of neighborhood spot where the staff knows your name and genuinely cares—regulars rave about the welcoming atmosphere and the wonderful customer service that makes you feel at home. Beyond the fresh donuts and pastries, they're doing something special with their Vietnamese coffee and breakfast bagel sandwiches, all at prices that feel genuinely fair, plus they've got a smart half-price day-old donut section that keeps things both wallet-friendly and waste-conscious. If you're hunting for somewhere to settle in for a slow morning or grab something quick before heading out, this riverside cafe nails that balance while treating every customer like family.”

Delicious breakfast bagel sandwiches. Their Vietnamese coffee always hits the spot. And prices are reasonable
Just got 3 donuts. The day old seemed fine, but the 2 fresh ones tasted like they were cooked in rancid oil. Took one bite and had to spit it out. I called and let them know, so hopefully they fix it. But something to be aware of.
Got and Love the big papa donut super friendly staff tasty stuff. Love the day old donuts for half off section i think thats super waste friendly and i dont see it in a lot of donut stores.
Always a good experience when I go here. Customer service is wonderful. Food is good. Feels like home. Staff are great! After leaving here, I walk away not regretting spending my money here. The Moreno Valley location has the same atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Had their Tuna sandwich on toast, chocolate donut, and coffee. Everything felt so fresh and made with love. The staff was extremely kind. And the portion size for the price is unbeatable. Love this place.
