I posted this review on RCS FB page but their administrator deleted it. Hopefully Yelp will be a permanent record. I believe I was served by a middle aged man who claimed he was from Canada named Martin Brossman? He made me an iced tea and gave me a sample of fudge. When he discovered my faith he became enraged and launched into an entire debate while yelling at me, interrogating me, saying antisemitic slurs and misnomers against Israel, Judaism in general and attacked me personally with namecalling and constantly interrupting me when I talked. He also insulted Christianity and all other religions in general and dismissed, excused and justified the human rights atrocities in the Middle East and blamed all of its problems on Jews/Zionism. Martin? should not be engaging in these types of conversations with strangers/clients. He is entitled to his offensive opinions but they are not based in facts and he does not know what it is like to be a persecuted minority. He continued his rampage while new customers entered the shop. So unprofessional! I was so horrified and didnt want to make a scene in front of others that I literally ran out of the shop!!! My husband even lost his appetite and skipped ordering his ice cream and feared for our physical safety. Rather than be violated by his hateful agenda, we will go to Sugar Mamas Ice Cream shop across the street on the main street in the future...I dont know if he is the owner but someone should take diciplinary or retraining measures. Terrorists, antisemites and neo-nazis would feel very comfortable at Riverside Coffee Shop in Occoquan, Va. Stay AWAY from this loose cannon and this business that has 4 out of 5 ONE stars on Yelp!!!!!!

Down in Occoguan to visit the tattoo shop next door. Decided to drop in for a coffee. FIrst, when I asked for a small coffee, the lady inquired a couple of times if I wanted an espresso, cappucino, etc. It took a couple of back n forths like that for her to get the message I wanted a simple coffee. Next, she brewed up a fresh pot (no problem there) but the coffee was virtually without flavor. After here inquiry if it was okay or not, I politely informed her that the coffee was not very good or was brewed too weak. She seemed to take offense and responded that they used "the best coffee". Really??? Ive waited tables at many restaurants and worked in economic development with small businesses, and I know that few businesses procure the top of the line stuff. She would be well advised to listen to candid critiques from customers, its how a small business survives and grows.

Very poor customer service there this afternoon. The older gentlemen refused to let my kids sample the ice cream and was very stingy with the amount of ice cream he scooped out. My milkshake was the consistency of warm milk and when I took it back he fussed around with it and gave me what I believe was the same shake. We have had great ice cream and service there in the past, but today was way off the mark.

Their claim to fame is Superman ice cream that includes strawberry, banana and blue raspberry. They also sell fudge and in the Sortman of different ice creams. No public restrooms and very little places to sit. Small locally owned business in a nice area to walk around but parking can be tight..

Love taking my father here for ice cream and baklava. The baklava used to be homemade, but last time it seemed like it was bought, not the same. When it was homemade, it was the best around. They offer a nice variety of ice cream flavors and cones. Small shop, highly recommend
