Requiem: Coffee, Tea, and Fantasy

I'm from Riverside and the reason why I visited with my daughter is bc of a "MEET-&-GREET" anime-voice-actors event Saturday, 08/01/26. Regardless of this event, this place does give a very "chill" ambiance. The drinks have pretty cool names too. I had the "Dark Magician" (taro, almond milk, tea, with rainbow chocolate sprinkles and whipped cream). They also have an item shop (which is where the animé-voice-actors were situated for this event).

Staff was super sweet and polite. It’s my second time there and the atmosphere is so cool. I had several drinks while I was there and they were all delicious. Drove all the way from LA but I’ll definitely be coming back.

I was going to come here originally during FFXIV-Fanfest week before the collaboration with FFXIV was annouced. So I was super happy when it was annouced. Note for review I went the week of fanfest on Monday. So the main crowd hasnt shown up yet. There was plenty of room at that time for seating. I got the DPS Check and the Good King Moogle Mog Dessert Cup. I enjoyed both alot. The atmosphere was nice seeing the cut outs of characters that we been adventuring with since ARR / HW. I love the merch they did too! I had some ordered already but I did pick up some since I was able to see them in stock.

This place was beautiful inside! I was accompanying friends to an Ironmouse Pop-up and had no idea what I was walking into. I was completely-pleasantly shocked. I ordered the Anarchy Latte and the Flancitos. Both were great! I ordered the latte with Oat Milk for a $1.00 upcharge (lame). The flan was great, very dense and the sauce was so sweet. The latte did not look like what was advertised on the social media page page. The decor was GORGEOUS!! It felt so magical inside. They had a shelf with books for you to read while there, a table full of boardgames and card games. There was a side room where people were playing DnD and there was a bunch of merch you could buy. We parked on a side street across from the huge church. The bathrooms were a surprise!

My daughter wanted to check out this place after hearing about it from a friend. It wasn't quite what I expected but she was thrilled. The fantasy-themed decor makes it feel like an escape. The coffee drinks are on the sweeter side, which is not my favorite but our girls were thrilled. Seems like we were there the day after a big event because they were sold out of several food items but we are glad we went.
