First time. I'll try one more time and add to this review…read more We wanted an afternoon pick me up, I remembered my coworker mentioned this place. So I told my boyfriend let's go try it out. Anyways, it's located in business suite off Alabama. A little hidden. I think more signs out front would really be helpful. It was quiet with 2 others in there when we came in. I was asking for recommendations and the guy (possible owner) didn't give us any. Literally, not a single recommendation. I was trying to initiate conversation and nothing!!!! Boo! We didn't try any of the food items because there was only one biscuit in there. The place is small and cozy but the vibes were dull, even with the music. I think maybe just an off day but the customer service was also super dry. We ordered: Mango lassi matcha: 3/10 super watery and lacks flavor. Cold latte with cafe de olla syrup: 5/10 lacks flavor and I didn't taste any cafe de olla. I did love that they sell Deaux on Monday and Fridays. (My favorite must have in Redlands) but I overall wasn't happy with this experience. Customer service should always be priority, especially when selling expensive coffee. I'm more than willing to pay but please be kind.

I actually discovered this coffee shop by accident since I usually go to the pet shop next door,…read moreand it turned out to be one of the best finds ever. I have never experienced coffee like this before. It is 100% worth the stop. The banana latte is my go-to and honestly I have never wanted to try anything else. It is that good. But one time I told the owner I wanted something different, and he made me a chai latte that was just as amazing. You can tell they really care about what they're making. The espresso itself is perfection. It is smooth, no bitterness at all, and the quality is always consistent. Every time I go, it tastes just as good, if not better than the last. Coming from someone who used to drink Starbucks all the time, I can confidently say I will not be going back. I will always stop here instead. I LOVE this place and recommend it to everyone. Please support small businesses because places like this will seriously blow your mind.

So, needless to say, we will be back.

Since I was in the area, I decided to browse Yelp to see if there were any amazing coffee/tea…read moreplaces in the area that I had to try. This one came up on my radar, but I think I overlooked it since I wasn't sure I would be able to make it that day. After catching up with a friend over dinner, she said I HAD to try this amazing tea place that was nearby because it was that good. She's had it multiple times and everything has been pretty amazing. I was sold - we headed over and honestly, it's such an unassuming location that I would not have thought a tea place would be here. Almost in an industrial business plaza with some other drink places in the nearby vicinity (a coffee place that my friend also recommended). Parking is decent. Storefront is pretty small, more for a grab and go although there's some chairs/benches for people to sit and wait. They have a very cute interior atmosphere. And they also have weekly baked goods that they sell in their refrigerator. I was debating between getting 1-2 drinks, but I had already had my quota for the week (!) so I opted for just one. Now I regret not getting two, haha. I ordered the assam salted cream $6.50 for their larger 24 oz with their handmade boba for an additional $0.75. My friend went with the hojicha salted cream. Was able to adjust sugar level but unable to adjust ice - and I did feel like they packed a lot of ice into my drink. But the flavor was on point and I loved the chewiness of their housemade boba. The tea was still slightly sweeter than I would have liked at 50% sweetness - but the cream on top, getting a sip with all the components was pretty amazing. And made my drive home that much more bearable. Saw somebody walk out of the shop after I had ordered with 4 thai tea salted creams ... was sad that I didn't get one for myself. But that gives me a reason to come back! They also have oat milk teas, brewed teas, whisked teas, and limited menu teas. tl;dr - solid tea place in Redlands. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving something to drink!

That alone should tell you how I feel about this place. It is absolutely worth the time and money. The coffee here is fantastic. Their roasts are consistently good, whether I'm having their house blend or trying one of their single origins. I honestly don't think I've ever had a bad espresso here. They also make some of the best tasting and most creative drinks I've had at a specialty coffee shop. Everything feels like it's made with care and precision. I still remember my first visit because I came specifically to try their coffee horchata slush. I'm VERY picky about horchata, especially when a place says they make it themselves. Hands down, theirs is probably the best, or at least one of the two best, horchatas I've ever had. That drink alone made an impression on me.They also do a great job of keeping things interesting. Last month they were debuting a different slush flavor on the patio every weekend. I love little things like that because it gives you another reason to come back and try something new. I don't really want to recommend one specific drink because I've had so many good ones here. There have definitely been a couple of their more creative drinks that weren't necessarily for me, but that was completely about my personal taste and not the quality of the drink. The ingredients were good and the drink was made well. It just wasn't a flavor profile I personally gravitate toward. That's part of the fun of trying specialty coffee. The pastries they bring in are another bonus. Having great pastries alongside this level of coffee just makes the whole experience better. I also want to thank everyone who has helped me here over all my visits. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone by name because the weekends can get pretty busy, so there usually isn't much time for conversation. Despite how busy it gets, I've always appreciated the service. The inside isn't huge, and on weekends it can sometimes be difficult to find a table. If you're planning to bring a laptop and work for a while, I'd probably recommend coming during the week instead. They do have a covered outdoor patio that has a really cool vibe, especially on weekends when they bring in music and local food vendors.

Okay, the drink I had was Spectacular! I loved the layered flavors, and that perfect little hint of…read moresalt in the cold foam had my tongue tingling. Every sip had something going on, and the drink itself (Vienna) was the best part. However, when considering price and size it, was a bit of a let down. It only comes in a 12 oz, and at $8 a cup, the price-to-size ratio didn't quite make sense for me compared to similar specialty coffee shops. The space was also not really my vibe. There were A LOT of people working, but the quarters felt tight and cramped. Instead of cozy, homey coffee shop vibes, it was giving college dormitory where everybody crams in to work and hang out. Apparently, I've aged out of that aesthetic. Service was decent and quick, though, and I really love the mission behind this business, which definitely deserves some extra love from me. And a random shoutout to the bathroom because it was actually large, spacious and quite nice. Bottom line: The drink was phenomenal, the mission is something I really appreciate, and while the price/size and atmosphere weren't quite my thing, I still had a fairly decent experience overall.

We already have a regular spot we go to in the area, but we decided to try something new today! This location is inside the Kith and Kissui boutiques which is really cute already. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because one of our drinks was the wrong order, but other than that their drinks were a hit. Our server was quick with our large order and I wouldn't mind trying other iced drinks throughout the Summer either. I ordered a hot rose cardamom latte with oatmilk which was just ok for me, my co-worker ordered an iced strawberry latte with orange cold foam ,but received an iced strawberry matcha instead. Luckily she also likes matcha and it was really good, so she wasn't that disappointed. My other co-workers ordered a hot honey cinnamon cappuccino with oatmilk, an iced golden hour from the spring menu, a cortado and a cinnamon roll. The golden hour was an iced mango lemonade topped with matcha and she loved it. The cortado tasted real authentic according to my other co-worker. The cinnamon roll shared amongst a few of us was to die for! We're definitely coming back.

Beautiful ambience, kind and quick service, delicious coffee! I got the pistachio latte, which I…read morewas expecting to only have a pistachio syrup/milk; I was pleasantly surprised to taste a delicious pistachio spread at the bottom of the coffee. It was so silky, nutty, and sweet. The actual roast was amazing, too. My only qualm is the steep price point. This place definitely is somewhere where I'd go to treat myself rather than as a daily coffee. It was ~$9 (an extra dollar for oat milk substitute, which honestly still bothers me that so many coffee places do that haha). HOWEVER...the price definitely represents the level of quality and care in the product. I will definitely be back. I look forward to trying a pastry next!

The matcha was a 3/5 for me. It was definitely missing that strong, earthy matcha flavor I usually…read morelook for, and there was honestly nothing particularly special or memorable about it. To be fair, Qamaria is a Yemeni coffee shop, so I probably shouldn't have gone in expecting the matcha to be the star of the menu. Just a heads-up for any other matcha girlies coming specifically for that. That being said, $9 for a matcha is actually insane. At that price point, I'm expecting something that really stands out, and this just didn't for me. I've also tried the brown sugar shaken espresso (4/5), which was definitely on the sweeter side but still pretty good. But again... around $9 for a coffee is kind of wild. One thing I will absolutely give them though: the service is amazing. Everyone I've interacted with has been super kind, welcoming, and attentive, which honestly makes the experience a lot better. The price tag still knocks a star off for me, and another downside is that the music always seems to be SO loud. I like a lively coffee shop, but sometimes it feels like I have to yell just to have a conversation. Overall, the drinks aren't bad, and the service is genuinely great, but between the prices and the matcha being pretty average, I personally don't really get the hype. I'd probably stick to what they're known for rather than coming here specifically for matcha.

If you love espresso, you need to check this spot out!…read more The moment you walk in, it instantly feels like home it's so cozy and warm. They even have an adorable wall dedicated to their two German Shepherds, Bear and Kono, which I absolutely loved. When I arrived, the tables were full of people working, studying, and friends catching up. They have a fantastic menu with tons of flavor options and food items. I kicked off the fall season with my first Pumpkin Spice Latte it was incredibly smooth, not bitter at all, and you can see they use a high-quality espresso machine. I also ordered the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and I was so surprised! It came loaded with spinach, tomato, and a delicious creamy sauce, plus the cheese pull was unbelievable. It blew my expectations out of the water. I recommend this place if you're looking to study, work from home, a place to catch up or like me looking for some breakfast before work this is your place to be!

They helped me figure out what latte I wanted, and got the Spanish Latte with oat milk and extra shot. It tasted very good. Not too sweet but flavorful enough to enjoy, like I'd expect from a Spanish latte. My latte before tip costs around $8-9. 16oz is their largest size hot cup and they normally only put 2 shots espresso in, which I'm not used to, with most places I've gone offering 3-4. So it quickly got up in price with my oat milk and add shot modification. Either way I like the vibe of this place and recommend to others as I look forward to coming back.

The coffee itself was nice, and those who follow my coffee shenanigans know I usually order a cappuccino to try somewhere new, and it was quite nice. Even the little pastry I ordered was nice. I'd certainly recommend it to people in the area, though I don't imagine I'll be back soon, both for practical distance reasons and... who knows, maybe waiting until the studious clientele has gone back to school for the year.

We went at a perfect time, before the line went almost out the door. Our food was just okay. We kept it simple with a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich (which was fine) and a sausage, egg, & cheese sandwich. The sausage seems to have just been warmed. We wish it would have been cooked on a flat top or something similar. We both tried new iced coffees. Caramel Coconut Latte and the Billy Buster. The latte was lightly flavored with actual coconut pieces inside. We weren't sure whether to get the Billy Buster hot or iced; the cashier recommended iced. When sipping the coffee through the straw, chunks of peanut butter were coming up and separating in my mouth, leaving an odd texture. I attempted to stir the drink as much as possible, but was only able to finish a 1/4 of it. I'm wondering if hot would have been better for the blending of the peanut butter into the drink?! We would not order it again, nor the sausage sandwich.
