I stopped by recently on my way up to Big Bear. The shop was very busy and had a line nearly out the door. The line moved relatively fast. The inside is more on the medium size with chairs and tables for guests. Customer service was friendly and he provided me some recommendations on drinks to try. They had a nice menu with different lattes, matchas, food, and teas. I tried the Con Amor Latte half sweet with oat milk. The drink was ready within 5 minutes after ordering. It was perfectly sweetened and I could taste the espresso. Overall, I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area to try more drinks and their avocado toast. read more

Nine Eight Five Coffee - Con Amor Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Bernardino, California

This is a super popular and always packed cafe in the IE that offers a wonderful selection of espresso and matcha drinks along with pastries and sandwiches! My personal favorite was the san banana matcha which had the most delicious banana pudding cold foam! The Kyoto bliss was a standard double matcha with a nice sweet matcha cold foam but I would prefer if the matcha latte itself was sweeter and less grainy and bitter but still a solid drink! This place is also a solid study spot designed for small groups with outlets along the wall, a water refreshment station, and a bathroom! Tip: Only card payments accepted here! read more

Nine Eight Five Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Bernardino, California

Nine Eight Five is definitely alive with the vibe but when it comes to service it doesn't get a high five and that's no jive. But besides that let me tell ya what's good at this coffee shop in tha hood. I started off with the espresso shot that had a little less than I'm use to but still decent. Next I had the Cortado which was also pretty good. The last drink I had was the Iced Con Amor which came with cinnamon and honey and this baby was really good. So, all my drinks were good and they offer dine in service which is a definite plus and a must in my book. My only gripe was their service and it seems like if you don't know them they won't be friendly to you as they are towards the regulars. I may be a fool but that's so not cool to act like that towards people like me that are old school. The shop itself is up to par with plenty of seats for two and a comfy couch. And that's my take on it, Peace out... read more

My go-to study spot and caffeine pick-me-up in San Bernardino! They present as a trendy, contemporary-coffee shop, but that doesn't sacrifice their personality. They seem to be very community-orientated and staff have been friendly to me. They also have flyers posted of social events in and around the area. Some additional perks include a free water station, several charging outlets, and a section for their stylish merch. I once tried the chicken pesto sandwich, which comes with ciabatta bread, chicken, cheese, avocado, pesto, tomato, greens--as well as a side of potato chips. It was a two-mealer for me and didn't feel super cohesive in flavor for some reason. The matcha/chocolate cookie I tried was okay and quite sweet. As for the drinks, they almost never miss! The double matcha (Kyoto-Bliss) may sometimes be a bit watery for my palate, but if you wait until the cream top settles it feels more full bodied. The San-Banana matcha is popular, but can sometimes have a watered down banana/matcha flavor. I enjoy the coffee and have tried a range of their speciality drinks, such as the Sweetheart or Hermosa, which are on the sweeter end. I also like their Americano, which is simple and not very acidic. I've yet to try more from their rotating seasonal menus and will be back for more! :) read more

First time trying them and it was popping. A little bit of a wait but worth it. I got a Hermosa- Espresso vanilla and strawberry foam decaf with almond milk. I was happy they had some decaf options since I've been trying to cut back but I love coffee and espresso. It has a great seat down vibe inside if you needed to work or stuffy or just chat with some friends. Will be going back to try some other yummy drinks and maybe a treat as well. Staff is also very nice and helpful. read more

As a matcha lover, I've tried a lot of spots around the Inland Empire, and Nine Eight Five Coffee is easily one of the best matcha places in the IE. The matcha here is bright green, well-prepared, and clearly crafted with care. You can really tell they use quality matcha and take their time with the preparation. My friend and I decided to get the Signature Matcha Flight: The San Banana, Nube De Coco, Kyoto Bliss, and Te Quiero Matcha. We wanted to try several of their drinks at once, and honestly the price is pretty reasonable. The whole flight is $14.50, which comes out to about $3.63 per drink, so it's a great way to explore different flavors without committing to a full cup. Here's how I'd rank them from favorite to least favorite: Kyoto Bliss - My absolute favorite. Super balanced, smooth, and the matcha flavor really shines. San Banana - Surprisingly amazing. I usually don't like banana-flavored drinks, but this one tasted like banana pudding layered over a matcha latte. So good. Nube De Coco - Light, creamy, and refreshing with a nice coconut flavor. Te Quiero Matcha - This one was my least favorite mainly because the strawberry flavor was a bit too strong for me, which overpowered the matcha. The ambiance is really calming. The café is spacious with lots of seating, and when we visited there were a lot of people studying or working on laptops. It definitely feels like a great study spot or place to hang out for a while. Also, the staff were super nice and helpful. I had a few questions about the drinks and they were really friendly when explaining everything. Overall, if you're a matcha fan in the IE, this spot is definitely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks. read more

Needed an afternoon pick me up and got the iced unsweetened matcha. It was delicious. Cant wait to try their other options!

Stopped by this coffee shop since I was in the area and it had good reviews, but I thought the drinks here were mid. I ordered the San Banana which is a banana matcha, but my drink tasted watered down and the matcha flavor didn't show through. The coffee drinks were standard too and nothing special. There was a line out the door when we arrived, and the line moved slowly. The cashier kept going back and forth between taking orders and making drinks, which slowed things down. The inside is spacious with lots of tables and seating. I wanted to like this place based off the good reviews, but maybe it was an off day, and it fell short for me. read more

Menu odyssey continues... Tried a new array of drinks as to further expand my 985 experience and taste and here is as follows: Vanilla latte: creamy and straight to the point. Not overly sweet and pleasantly light. Cookie butter: Also creamy; has a thicker texture due to the biscoff flavoring and cookie. San Banana: tried and true fave read more

I enjoyed Nine Eight Five Coffee! Parking was easy and convenient, which is always a plus. The drinks came out quickly. I tried the strawberry matcha and it had a really nice, balanced flavor. The matcha itself tasted high-quality, not overly bitter, and paired really well with the strawberry as a refreshing drink. Service was great and the staff were friendly. There were a handful of tables to do work at. Overall, a good spot and I'd definitely recommend it. read more

I've heard of this coffee place before and this was my first time here! I've heard their banana drinks are their signature, but I decided to try their Hermosa, which is a latte with vanilla and strawberry foam. It was so delicious and the strawberry flavor is subtle, but not artificial at all. The coffee shop itself is very cozy and the lines do get long, but the service is exceptional and it's impressive how they take orders while making their drinks! Would definitely come back to try another drink. read more

Really great matcha - I'm usually not a fan of strawberry jellies so I might opt for the cold foam next time. Constant line out the door while I was there. Very popular for their drinks. However I wouldn't come to study here, it's very loud and the seats are uncomfortable - wooden and fixed at far distances from the table. There's also a school nearby so a lot of young kids. Free wifi and bathroom available read more

Wish I lived closer to this coffee shop! First off, really good service and very nice interior. Shoutout to Mia for being so friendly! Ordered the matcha flight - coconut matcha, double matcha, banana matcha, and strawberry matcha. I believe it was less than $15 and can only be served "for here" since they don't have caps for to-go yet. The matcha was so thick and earthy. My favorite ones were probably the banana and coconut matcha. Overall, would definitely come again when I'm in the area! read more

I was visiting the area for work and saw this place on Yelp. It was close by and I went on a Thursday morning! It was pretty busy around 8am. I ordered for mobile pick-up and it was ready pretty quickly! I ordered the Iced Sweetheart which was a cherry latte. And my coworker got a cold brew. I really enjoyed it and it was such a yummy drink! I wish they had a spot in the bay read more

985 Coffee was a pleasant surprise!! Just be aware that there may be long lines-- They have a variety of coffee options as well as food options, and they also have matcha. The Nube de Coco (coconut cloud) was... UUUFFFF!!! Can't even explain it, just right, just perfect, too good. I also ordered the little mountain, was also very good! Was happy with my two drinks! I will for sure be coming back. read more

I really enjoy the coffee and matcha here. The quality is great and the space feels welcoming. The pricing adds up fast. About $1 for milk alternatives, feels a bit high. The wait time needs improvement. I was in line for about thirty minutes and was next to order, but the cashier was having a long conversation with customers. I understand being friendly, but it slowed everything down. The line reached the parking lot and some people left. Maybe adding another cashier or speeding up service during busy times would really help. read more

This place is definitely just okay. I am a huge matcha person so I like my matcha strong and their quality isn't that great or up to my personal standards which are high. I got the banana matcha and the foam was great but the latte itself was subpar. My dad got the same thing and he isn't as picky and he agreed with my opinion. Not returning but if you like not that strong matcha try this place. read more

We tried the Kyoto Bliss and the San Banana. They were pretty good, but not my favorite matcha's I've ever had. Definitely recommend though if you're in the area and looking for a good matcha! read more

Solid coffee spot in San Bernardino. I had the con amor iced latte (latte with honey and cinnamon) and it was very good. It was not too sweet and had a good amount of cinnamon flavor. Baristas were friendly as well. There was a long line but it did move fairly quickly. Overall a good spot. read more

Great hidden spot in San Bernardino! It's not in the nicest area but the drinks and staff are good! Clean coffee shop with many spots to sit! Workers are kind and friendly too. I got a Kyoto matcha with oat milk, which is a matcha latte with matcha foam on top. It came close to $8, which is normal nowadays unfortunately. The matcha itself had a good deep matcha flavor. Good quality matcha for sure. They didn't skimp on the foam, it was creamy and not too sweet. When mixed into the latte, its creaminess blended well into the drink. Definitely the best matcha latte in the area, try it out! read more

My kid introduced me to this place. It's located in the same parking lot where 99 cents store used to be across from Inland Center Mall. The establishment is modern. Nice decor. The guy that was working the cashier was friendly and helpful. Our drinks came out quick. No more than 5 min wait. I did get the half dipped chocolate matcha cookie. That was really good. And I also got their strawberry matcha latte. That was also good. I would maybe return and try out their other matcha drinks. Just a heads up if you decide to check this coffee shop out you might see a line out the door. read more
