Bytes
900 University Ave, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“Bytes feels like a neighborhood gathering spot that straddles the line between quick caffeine run and lingering workspace, though you'll want to arrive early since their limited inventory tends to sell out by mid-morning. They've built a cozy family-friendly vibe with solid vegetarian options like avocado toast and that celebrated Wild Mushroom flatbread, plus a fun tradition of free donuts at 3 PM that keeps the community coming back. It's the kind of place that works whether you're ducking in for a fast pastry between errands or settling in with your laptop for a slow afternoon, even if the food quality and pricing can be inconsistent.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Very limited options and out of most of what I wanted by 10 am.
It's great that they have Starbucks here so I don't have to go all the way to Glen Mor. Also, the free donuts at 3 PM are great!
End of 2017 I tried the Wild Mushroom flatbread with arugula and balsamic glaze, one of the tasty vegetarian options at Bytes 🍄😍 The summer of 2018 I discovered they had avocado toast served on an English muffin! 😋 I enjoyed it with Passion Tea since they had just started…
The food quality of food is not that good and it is a bit expensive
Campus quick meal/snack spot. No parking for public, great place for me to grab something while walking with family
