C3 Bar
3400 Market St, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the Marriott on Riverside's ground floor, C3 Bar is a surprisingly polished hidden gem that serves quality breakfast and brunch alongside thoughtfully crafted coffee—think build-your-own omelets and genuinely good avocado toast rather than hotel coffee shop basics. It's the kind of quiet, unhurried spot where servers will bring a carafe to your table, making it equally perfect for a solo traveler needing a calm morning or colleagues meeting over a leisurely breakfast before heading out. The 4.8-star reviews consistently praise the friendly service and above-average food quality, which is rare for a hotel café.”

I loved their Avocado Toast. The food is actually good!
Amazing little hidden gem inside the Marriott hotel. Upon arrival it was empty although it was pretty late in the evening so we weren't sure at first. However, the menu had some high quality options & the food we ordered turned out to be amazing! We got the crispy half chicken & the hacienda Tostadas. Both were very delicious! Needless to say, we'll be back soon!
Had the build your own omelette with coffee. They bring carafe to your table. $21 before tip. Hash towns were too burned to eat. Omelette was great. Nice servers.
This was a great surprise. I was running short on time and was staying at the Marriott Convention Center. The restaurant is in the first floor of the hotel. Breakfast offerings were the buffet or a cook-to-order option. I chose the cook-to-order as the buffet was light on selections. For $20 a standard breakfast was a good choice as it included coffee. The meal was delivered promptly and tasted great. The coffee was smooth without bitterness. No issues with gluten-free as I just ordered with no toast. Staff was great; very helpful and friendly, making sure I had a to-go cup of coffee out of the carafe on the table. Great experience and worth the money.
Friendly service, delicious entrees, and quiet landing spot after a long day of travel.
