Palo Santo Café

A family-owned coffee shop on Oakdale Road with over 300 photos and 227 reviews on Yelp, known for its espresso drinks, pastries, and artisan gelato. The gelato in particular sets it apart from a standard coffee shop, giving it a genuine specialty beyond just coffee that draws customers from outside Riverbank itself. Its family-owned character and strong review count suggest a level of local loyalty that the area's chain coffee options don't quite match, though its hours are more limited, closing by mid-afternoon most days.
