I recently visited the Soup Shoppe in Riverside, California and I must say I was impressed with my breakfast order. I ordered the country fried steak breakfast plate with over medium eggs, a side of home fries with grilled bell pepper and onions, and a side of biscuits and gravy. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the country fried steak was tender and flavorful. The home fries were deliciously seasoned and the grilled bell pepper and onions added a nice touch. The biscuits and gravy were also a hit - rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were generous and the service was prompt and friendly. Overall, I had a great experience at the Soup Shoppe and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a delicious breakfast spot in Riverside.

Cute little cafe. Food was average but the customer service is top notch and will keep you coming back. Currently open from 7am-2pm.

Great atmosphere. Love their breakfast and lunch. Changed ownership a couple of years ago. Expect to see a lot of regulars. There is not a lot dining room space and the hours are limited. No dinner service. But they are friendly, good food, weekday specials and quirky decorations. Have been going for decades.

Soup Shoppe was just okay.My girlfriend and I decided to give this place a shot for breakfast and werent impressed. Our initial hopes were high because the ambiance is cute and it has pretty good reviews but the food fell short of our expectations.When you walk in you feel like you stepped foot inside someones home. The service is also excellent. We went for breakfast and the place was packed but our server was attentive and kept our coffees filled. I ordered a basic breakfast and everything was super greasy. There was a pool of grease under my bacon and even my eggs were glossy. There was so much grease I had to use an entire napkin to dab up all the excess, not a good look for sure. The flavor of the food was mediocre at best. When I go out to eat I at least want the food to be prepared better than I can make myself. I did not feel like the food was anything special. The pancakes were tiny and very plain. There was nothing to set them apart. I asked for my hash brows well done and they arrived soft and mushy at best.I would give this place a try again but for the time being, Ill leave Soup Shoppe at 3 stars.

We were trying to find a food place that had home cooked meals,( nothing fast food )and this was the place. The crepes were delicious topped with strawberry, banana and Nutella. the turkey sandwich was thick (not deli meat) tasted like thanksgiving. And the cornbeef hash I havent tasted it as good anywhere else, the beef soup had delicious chunks of beef from a cooked roast. Nothing bad to say about this place, loved it.

This place was O.K, food was O.K, service was good, good prices but not memorable at all. I ordered a bagel sandwich but the bagel tasted cheap. My friend ordered the French toast combo and said it was ok. It wasn’t horrible so maybe it was what we ordered that might of not been the best. I did notice that a lot of their customers go there frequently, so maybe there are other things on the menu that are worth tasting.

This is one of those adorably cute spots that you just dont bring your LA judgement/hyper-critical alter ego to. Come here knowing this is a local favorite and an old fashioned diner. I loved all of the locals that venture here. There is such a friendly atmosphere here and the food (not judging like I typically do of LA spots) was good. I thoroughly enjoyed my Chicken Fried Steak and eggs. The gravy was creamy and perfectly paired with the steak. I could barely walk out of the diner after the large portions of my breakfast. My fiance enjoyed their Breakfast Sandwich with sausage. This came as sandwich rather than the expected croissant or another soft bread. The sandwich overall was good, he may try another breakfast item on our second trip over. Service was simply incredible, we had the lovely waitress that just made us feel we were in her own home kitchen.For my fellow LA people, this is a cozy diner with only the best of company. Those seeking fancy brunches will be disappointed. But those seeking cozy breakfast to start their day will simply fall in love with this local spot.

Ive lived in Riverside 2 years now and have been looking for a decent breakfast place in the area since. I finally found one!This place has a great staff, fantastic breakfast options, very good food and a nice small town type of vibe to it.The chicken fried steak was very tasty. My girlfriend got the fruit crepes and they were pretty amazing.Well definitely be going back!

I love the coziness of the place. But the waffle was ok and the french toast could use a little more sweetness too it . People are very friendly. Id return and try something else.
