Lift Coffee Roasters, Riverside CA

A wonderful place to wind down, meet with friends, or to study for exams. Their coffee is always top notch and their drinks are priced perfectly. I typically get an iced latte or a pour over but my wife always gets an iced chai or a pumpkin iced chai and she ranks it as the best chai drink from any coffee shop she has been to. Like many coffee shops, they close around 5 pm but I could sit there for hours more if their hours were extended to later.
I really love coming here and would go every day if I could for their good vibes and great coffee!

In a bizarre location, the place is very dark inside. The coffee is o.k. The pumpkin muffin I ordered was partially cold and wet despite being warmed (apparently previously frozen.)

Kitchen was already closed at 4pm and they were also out of Filter coffee…
Sorry but you should never be out of filter coffee… atmosphere was nice though.waited more than 10 minutes for a bagel that costs $5 (same bagel you get at a grocery store for $0.99) …

They have LENTIL SAMOSAS! The unsweetened herbal tea when mixed with moronga tea tastes like you're drinking gummy bears! Bring your own moringa tea bags tho. For now.

Without a doubt the best coffee in Riverside. I've been searching for a place like this for a long time! One of the best cortados I've ever had, so much so that I had to go back for another drink the same day!

Edit: I now come here everytime I visit home (I'm usually away for college) and oh my GOODNESS it has somehow gotten even better. Brevé cortado and iced lavender lattes are my go to! The beef sambusa and the lavender scone are actually to die for. I can barely contain my excitement whenever I come here, the food and the staff bring me so much joy. Truly the treat of a lifetime.

I had a hot vanilla latte, the coffee beans were good and the taste was good. The coffee shop atmosphere was also good. I want to go again, but it's too far and it's hard. ^^

Visited Riverside location. Ordered the avocado toast, missing a bit more flavor like seasoning on top, the sauce added was ok, cap. Ok but was expecting it in a mug as allot of their pictures have mugs, unsure if customer would have to ask for a mug. Would I go back, perhaps a second chance to try something else, jazz music was nice. Dark inside was relaxing.

I've must've been living under a rock because I barley found this gem and their honey cinnamon latte was AAAAMMAZING! They have mobile ordering online which made it a breeze for me the day I went.

Will come back to sit down and enjoy my coffee there soon.

Great coffee, fantastic atmosphere
The chairs are oppressively loud, like a walrus in heat, whenever patrons of the establishment or staff shuffle them about.

For what it is, it's a great place. Coffee is always good, atmosphere is great. Tons merch, well priced.

Two stars for the vibes. The location is interesting, but I like it! Total bummer that they don’t have decaf espresso. Supposedly they don’t have a grinder for it at this moment. Not everyone can have the caffeine due to medical issues but love the taste of coffee. They have decaf drip coffee but I’m still an espresso gal.

Love this spot. Been coming here for years. Come for coffee, come to study, come with mom, come here on a date! Also, the food was surprisingly tasty! I'm still thinking about their green salsa!
