Riverside is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Riverside follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I’ll always love BTTG. It was my favorite spot to hang as a teen and all these years later I still haven’t found a better coffee shop. I always stop here when visiting Riv <3

Great coffee, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Dog friendly inside and out, with seating out front and in back. Good cost effective bites as well. Highly recommend.

Today was my first visit to Back on the Grind and I am smitten!! I popped in to have a bite to eat not knowing what to expect. Very nice surprise! Walking in I was captured by the sweet Smith jazz playing and the decor. The rows of book shelves filled with books (which you can check out, as long as you bring one), and nostalgic items. The art works, the many tables. I even liked the way the bathroom does are designed. Lol. To me this is a place I could spend hours in listening to the music and reading or just looking at all the book shelves. I should have gotten names, but alas it will have to happen at a later time. The young lady who took my order was very nice and informative. Oh yeah, I ordered an Iced white chocolate mocha and a bagel with cream cheese. Nice and simple. If you venture inside, I promise you will not be disappointed! I'm so glad I was guided here. I can't wait to return to this book lovers, art lovers, music lovers, and coffee lovers den.

Such a cool spot, so much was going on. Went one day and a cheese meetup was going on and the next time it was live music. People were there on a date, studying, playing board games, you name it the social activity was going on.
