A Riverside barista refused to serve a man who blasted a Muslim woman during a tense coffee shop confrontation captured on video.

Titled “Coffee shop refuses service to man making Islamophobic comments,” the 1 minute, 33 second video has more than 27,000 views as of Tuesday morning. It was posted Monday, May 14, and appears to have been shot at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in the Riverside Plaza.

It opens with a man at the counter apparently repeating a comment he said before the video began: “I said, ‘Is this Halloween or something?’”

A Muslim woman wearing a niqab — a veil and headscarf — asked him why he said that. He replies, “Why wouldn’t I?” and “Because I want to.”

When she asks if he knows she’s a Muslim, he responds: “Yeah I do.”

The woman asks what his problem is with that and he replies:

“I don’t like it, how’s that? I don’t like that because I don’t like your religion and it says to kill me and I don’t want to be killed by you. How’s that?”

The woman then challenges him, asking if he has read the Koran. He says he’s read “enough of it to know.” After the man says he’s “absolutely” Christian, she challenges him about a Bible passage but he says, “I don’t have any kind of a conversation with idiots.”

As he tries to pay for his coffee, she says, “You are committing hate speech.”

Voices in the shop can be heard yelling, “Get out of here” and “racist.” The man appears to shout back and expletives are bleeped out.

At the end of the video, a supervisor won’t sell him his coffee.

“Why are you not serving him?” the Muslim woman asks.

“Because he is disrupting a public place and being very racist,” says the supervisor, who identifies herself as Tawny Alfaro.

“Thank you,” the woman says as the video ends.

On Tuesday morning, Eli Cervantes, a 19-year-old Riverside man, was at the Coffee Bean and applauded the supervisor’s action.

“I’ll be honest, I would have confronted the guy,” Cervantes said. “I don’t like people making comments like that. I wouldn’t have served him either.”

The video is another example of tensions involving race and religion in coffee shops.

On April 12, two black men were arrested for sitting in a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything. They settled with the chain for an undisclosed sum and an offer of a free college education. In light of the incident, more than 8,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S. will close the afternoon of Tuesday, May 29, so nearly 175,000 employees can get training about unconscious bias.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has more than 1,200 locations worldwide, according to its press releases. It was founded in 1963 and its headquarters are in Los Angeles.
