Crave Coffee & Tea
3590 Central Ave, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked away in Riverside, Crave Coffee & Tea is a cozy neighborhood gem where espresso drinks are crafted with care and the baristas genuinely seem to enjoy what they do. The shop strikes that sweet spot between a casual hangout and a specialty coffee destination, with gluten-free pastry options and both traditional and creative drinks that keep regulars coming back. It's the kind of place where the friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere make you want to linger, though be prepared for quality at a slightly higher price point.”

Love this little coffee shop! The drinks are always delicious, the staff are so friendly, and the atmosphere is super cozy. I’m excited to have my gluten-free treats here for everyone to try them!✨
The macchiato was really good, and the ladies were nice. The place had a good vibe, but we came at closing time, so we didn't stay long.
I can’t accurately give this place a review on taste because I don’t know what’s what. I ordered two white mocha drinks for delivery one is decaf with oat milk for my cousin that is both lactose intolerant and sensitive to caffeine. However there is no indication on which is which and even when tasting them it’s hard to tell as sometimes decaf has a stronger coffee taste. Now my only option is to drink both to get the caffeine I need for the day while my cousin can’t drink either
Hello I purchased a gift card from this location for my mother's birthday for 50 dollars on September 09th 2025. I don't have the receipt anymore but I do have a bank statement from the purchase. For $75.08 for the giftcard and the funky monkey drink I ordered that day. My mom used the card for the first time today and there were no funds loaded onto the card at all. I know nothing can be done about it now because its been so long and I no longer have the receipt but I thought your shop in Riverside should be mindful on the way you load giftcards. 50 dollars is a lot of money. I won't be coming here again.
Mid to good coffee. Didn’t like the vibe here tho maybe just an off experience the last few times. Chairs are cool music is decent. Gives off mid range coffee shop vibes. A little pricey tho 6 bucks plus for a latte. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come here
