Riverwalk Roasters Café And Coffee Shop

Riverwalk used to be such a great spot. I loved coming here for its unique, unpretentious atmosphere. I would sit beneath the large John Coltrane poster, enjoy new music, and truly feel at home. However, since new ownership took over, it has all changed for the worse. The charm, originality, and vibe are gone—everything feels overly polished and generic now. The staff all wear matching outfits, and there are “espresso yourself” signs everywhere, giving it a corporate feel that detracts from its former character. I used to feel a sense of community here, but now it feels like sipping coffee in the clearance section of a craft store. While the coffee and food are still decent, and the staff remains friendly, if you're looking for a unique and cozy experience, Riverwalk is no longer the right choice. It's become quite sterile.

This restaurant has a fantastic ambiance and atmosphere! The layout is great, with a smart arrangement of seating, counters, and ordering areas. I stopped in to grab some coffee to go—a delicious iced coffee and a caramel white chocolate latte—and I was a bit disappointed that we didn't have more time to relax and enjoy the space. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely need to make some time for that. The staff were very friendly, and the service was impressively quick, with little to no wait time. They also offer outdoor seating, which is a nice touch. Overall, it’s a wonderful place!

Got the morning kick and a blueberry scone. The kick was pretty big, had the perfect amount of spicy and tasted amazing! The bread they put it on was just so good. Scone was great also but I will have to finish that later. Fast and friendly service with a cool atmosphere.

Recently having come under new ownership, Riverwalk has undergone some changes. They still have the same great coffee and tea, the same accommodating parking lot, and the same sizable seating area for plenty of patrons. Besides some changes to the decor, the most noticeable change is that the new owner is a proficient baker. Gorgeous pastries and treats adorn the glass display cases, and I can assure you they taste as good as they look. The only thing that’s missing is the return of live music to Riverwalk. I hope the owner sees this not only as a great opportunity to generate revenue and new repeat customers, but also as a way to contribute to the culture and vibrancy of the city. For years, Riverwalk had the best open mics and indie artist bookings. I am sure many people would be excited for the return of Riverwalk to the music scene.

Not sure what the food would be like because it's really a coffee joint but to my surprise the food was very good. We ordered the Morning Kick with sausage Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. The Morning Kick was so tall I couldn't fit in my mouth but each layer was good alone it was good but was better the more I ate. The burrito was good but need a few jalapeños. Cute enough place with different seating areas. I would definitely eat here again. You might wonder why only 4 stars? Not enough baked goods to be a bakery.
