Real coffee. Real people. Real community.
No pretense, no rush. Just good coffee, fresh pastries, and the kind of welcome that makes you want to stay a while. That's the Ugly Coffee way.
Made with intention.
Served with a smile.
Every cup is pulled with care, every pastry is baked from scratch, and every recipe is chosen because we actually love it.
Ugly coffee,
beautiful people.
We started Ugly Coffee with a simple belief: coffee should feel like coming home. Not a performance. Not a status symbol. Just a good cup, served by someone who knows your name.
Located in the heart of Riverside, we're a small team that takes our craft seriously but never takes ourselves too seriously. Our beans are sourced from roasters who treat farmers fairly. Our pastries are made from scratch every morning. And our door is always open to anyone who walks in — whether you're staying for five minutes or five hours.
We call it "ugly" because real life isn't curated. It's messy, warm, and full of people who show up as they are. That's the energy we bring to every cup we pour.
A space that feels like yours.
Whether you're here to work, catch up with a friend, or just breathe for a moment — this is your spot. We host open mics, local art swaps, and community board updates. Follow us to see what's coming next.
We're right here.
Come find us.
No appointment needed. Walk in anytime during our hours — we'll have a smile and a fresh cup waiting.
