Great place. Smoothies were especially great! And their iced coffee was also spectacular. Much better than starb***ks. Oh and lots of vegan options for snacks.

A lovely, cozy little coffee shop with delicious vegan options! I just love everything about this place, the staff is fantastic and friendly and the food is absolutely delish! I have had several of their vegan options now and I think my favorite is the quiche with mushrooms and tomatoes. I really enjoy their lattes, their espresso is very good. I will definitely continue stopping by every time I visit Riverside!

One of the most interesting Cafes I have visited, loved the ambience and vibe of the place. The coffee and croissants were also pretty good.

Such a unique establishment that's somewhere between a cafe and a bar. Eclectic decorations and ornaments throughout give this place a wonderful kooky and kitsch vibe. Great tea and coffee here and so popular (there was a long queue when we arrived but they cleared it so quickly). Did not try the food but the servers were warm, friendly and fun. Great place to sit and people watch.

Great Study Space Huge Selection of Drinks Cool Weekly Events Reasonable Prices Back To The Grind is a one of a kind cafe experience! One of the biggest reasons that people go to cafes is for the atmosphere and I have never been anywhere that has such a unique identity as this cafe. The cafe somehow manages to foster a space that feels welcoming to liveliness while maintaining the coziness for a quiet study session. Couches next to interesting decorations on one side of the space and smaller tables near the front windows ensure that everyone finds what they're looking for. In addition, the interior design has such a special profile of chicano decoration, fantasy, and Chicago style brickwork that will give you plenty of material for inspiration. Finally, Back To The Grind takes advantage of its space for the community of Riverside by offering regular weekly events like jazz night and painting night. I wish I had come here earlier! 20/25
