honestly such a cute and wholesome cafe. if the 10/10 drinks weren’t enough to convince you to go, it should be the staff!! the girls were so sweet and friendly. not to mention the boss and his wife treat customers like family! they genuinely care about your experience there and you feel like you’re at home while you wait for your drinks. i came with my car club and there was about 20+ people but the drinks still came out fast and of great quality. you could tell they weren’t just quickly throwing together a drink. love love love!!!!!!

Nice interior and there's a kiosk. I got the Vietnamese coffee affogato and it was about $7.50 but totally worth it. It tastes quality and had cookie crumbles. Also got the mangoada for $7 and it's delicious and refreshing. Neither were too sweet and both were delicious.

A hidden gem. The people working here are so friendly (shout out to Hannah) and attentive — A+ for customer service. I got a pistachio matcha latte and heard they don’t use syrups which I appreciated. The pistachio matcha was the perfect level of sweetness and even had crushed bits of pistachio in there. The drink was a lot too, very good value. The cafe itself was cute, clean, welcoming, and the chairs were surprisingly comfier than expected!

My coffee was made by Natalie and it was sooo good! I don’t usually drink coffee, but I love anything banana flavored, and the drink I got was amazing. I’ve tried similar flavors at other places, but this spot never disappoints. Huge thank you to Natalie and everyone else who works there for always being so kind and making such great drinks. I highly recommend Cafe Bottega!

Cafe Bottega is my go to spot whenever I'm in the area! Their coffee is amazing, and they have the best macarons. My go to coffee is a vietnamese coffee, with vanilla ice cream as a topping, the mixture just hits PERFECTLY. I always make it a point to stop by when I'm nearby it's absolutely worth the drive and every penny. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the beautiful decor makes the cafe even more enjoyable. The staff has always been so kind, friendly, and welcoming, which keeps me coming back. I highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for great coffee, delicious macarons, and a cozy place to relax!

My husband and I stopped by Cafe Bottega on Van Buren Blvd and absolutely loved everything we ordered! We shared the dragonfruit mango açaí bowl, and it was so fresh and flavorful—perfectly blended, vibrant, and generously topped with fruit and granola. You can really taste the quality and freshness in every bite. For drinks, we ordered the Vietnamese coffee and the banana coffee latte, and both were outstanding. The Vietnamese coffee was bold, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness, while the banana coffee latte was creamy, unique, and surprisingly addictive. Such a great twist on a classic latte! The presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere was clean and welcoming, and everything felt thoughtfully made. This is definitely a new go-to spot for great coffee and refreshing bowls. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in Riverside!

Oh-kayyy, it's been a while since I have taken the time to write a review. This take time and energy so its usually an impactful experience that drive me to leave a review, whether good or bad, it sits in my head. So here I am, sharing my experience at Cafe Bottega. If you follow me you know I'm a tough critic, but I am fair. I think above taste, accuracy in traditional dishes, quality of food, and so on; Is service. Everytime I've walked in there I'm greeted with a warm smile and welcoming energy. Although you have too place your order through kiosk my experience doesn't feel so artificial, like if I'm just interacting with a screen and boom pops out my order, no. The experience has been more organic than that, there is always someone there to help me, guide me through the menu and even offer suggestions like—" lychee jelly and Boba go together really good" or 'if you like coffee we have Veitnamese style coffee with cold foam" ☕ (which is really good). This welcome and organic experience is one of the reasons I keep going back and its a well earned 5 stars ⭐ in my book. Customer service is key to any successful business. I am a creature of habit and I love Mango 🥭, so the Mango lychee Ice Tea was a no brainer 🧠 for me. Added Boba and lychee jelly yum yum yum 🤤🤤🤤🥤. The iced tea was not overwhelming sweet although I had added the boba and jelly that typically amplify the sweetness, it was light and very refreshing, just thinking about it right now makes me want to go get one. I ordered a large which came out to about $10 which really fair. I hope highly recommend the Mango lychee Ice Tea 🥭🥤🤤. 5⭐ Side note: They have a large variety of beverages. Coffee, Milk Teas, Smoothies, Ice Teas, Slushees, and more 😱 Atmosphere, very modern, simplistic, with a nice touch of elegance, I really their set up and this might sound a little weird but I really their stools. So easy 5⭐ for me. Highly recommend 5⭐ in all categories, if there are within your area, don't think about it

cutest little hidden gem located next door to the panda express, facing the main road. interior is instagram-worthy with a few tables & a high top for indoor seating. employees were so personable & friendly- the service alone made us returning customers. but the drinks were the cherry on top! so many tasty & unique options, making them worth the trip over any local starbucks; plus you can adjust the sweetness of the drink to your liking. so excited to come back to try their shaved ice & açaí bowls(:

I haven't been here in person but I did order on Uber eats and I will just say that it was so SO GOOD! I love rose syrup in ANY drink and the rose matcha latte from this place was the best matcha I've ever had!! The delivery took about 25 minutes and my drink was still cold and layered nicely! I can't wait to come here in person. You guys just got a new customer! 😊✨🍵 Update: I came in person and got THE LARGE 🫶🏻
