Great service here, I was greeted immediately upon entrance. I ordered the caramel iced macchiato, which was fantastic! The brown sugar cookie was sooo soft and so delightful to enjoy on my day off! The barista seemed to enjoy her job and was very lovely! The modern atmosphere gives off such a cool vibe. Thanks for a pleasant first visit!

I visited Roast Riders for coffee and a light meal while I worked. The coffee and quiche were absolutely delicious! The friendly and helpful staff made the experience even better. I appreciated the comfortable couches where I could relax and work.

Loved coming here, it was really cute inside and the coffee was delicious. There is a parking lot outside so parking wasn't an issue. Seating was available both inside and outside and it was quite with some music that was nice. I ordered the Trifecta coffee with Candied Fog syrup and it was super good. They have some baked goods for sale and most of them are gluten free options. They also sell quiches and oatmeal that they can prepare too. Friend staff and the seating is really comfortable.

This place is popular and you’ll see why. The staff is friendly and cheerful. The space is inviting. While you wait, merchandise for sale is sprinkled throughout the store. The outdoor seating is some of the best around, especially for kids (lots of safe, off streets space) and for private conversation (tables are well spaced). The location in the back of the shopping area lends to a quieter, low traffic noise space. Very relaxing. They offer several tasty quiches and bakery items, even gluten-free and vegan options from a local vegan sweet shop. My dirty chai was excellent. My companions were happy with their tea and coffee choices. We’ll return.

Good place to kick back and enjoy a local coffee. Nice and cozy ambiance. Their cold brew is some of the best I’ve tasted— smooth but full of flavor— and the homemade syrups make for a delicious tasting drink. There is a plentiful menu for those who enjoy coffee however they want, as well as tea, smoothies, pastries, and meals. The quiche is really good too.

Great atmosphere, a good amount of seating. Got a cold brew and a GF scone. Both were great! Prices were comparable to other specialty coffee shops in the area. I would come back again.

I had a wonderful experience here. The coffee was top-notch and they offer excellent alternatives to dairy milk. The sourdough bread was also a highlight. Everything was perfect—definitely a 5-star spot!
