The customer service was awesome! They offered to sanitize the blender before making my ice blended mocha to ensure there were no traces of tree nuts. I added a shot of espresso since the blendeds only have coffee flavored powder, not coffee. I do love their coffee and it was a great added touch for them to go the extra mile sanitizing. Thanks Rad Coffee! read more

I had stopped at this coffee shop for a quick cup of coffee around 7:00 am. There were numerous parking spots in front of the coffee shop. I noticed it was the only place open amidst the entire plaza. When I came in, there were a few other guests in front of me. They had already placed their orders and so I spent my time looking at their merchandise. The coolest part was their own keurig cups that they make off of their own brand. I went to the front, and wasn't too sure what to order. I ended up ordering the ripper, assuming that their iced drinks are really good. When I ordered it, I thought it was okay. It wasn't particularly strong that'll give me the intense caffeination, but it wasn't extremely sweet that'll prevent me from drinking it. It was heavily sprinkled with cinnamon on top, and that was where I realized I should have ordered a different drink instead. I do enjoy the decor and theme. That's why I gave it one more stare than I should have. It's still great to have a coffee shop that opens early and accommodates to your needs, especially nearby. read more

Brought my friend here since this is one of my favorite local coffee spots. I tried the Cookies N Scream today (would definitely recommend and order again ), and my friend got a Chai Tea Latte. Safe to say she's a fan now too haha. I also appreciated how fast everything was made and served, and as always, the ambiance inside is pretty rad read more

The customer service here is great! The staff is so friendly. The interior is very themed but there is no seating and no bathrooms. But there are benches outside. I ordered the Great White. The drink was delicious! I loved the flavor and it's perfect if you need a strong caffeine boost. It's sweet but not too sweet. read more

Been coming to Rad for years. Coffee is pretty good. They've got a bunch of different specialty flavors as well, but nowadays in my older age I enjoy the more standard stuff. Had a few of the cereal chillers and they're not bad - I wouldn't say they taste exactly like the cereal they're going for but close enough. I'd say of the ones I've tried, Captain Crunch or peanut butter crunch would be my recommendations. Husband likes to get the crazy strong drinks, great white and the wolf. These drinks are hella strong. I tried the great white once and had major caffeine anxiety so I'd say unless you're somebody who's used to consuming large amounts of caffeine, be warned. Parking is a pain in DT Upland in general but it's definitely a coffee staple worth checking out. read more

Service and speed was amazing but i went in at about 4:45 today and the lady was very rude off the bat. I simply asked if i didn't want one ingredient if i could remove it from my drink. And with attitude she responded that " yeah i guess, you can just make a custom one" and I just said thank you and began to order because as a barista myself i understand in the heat it can get exhausting. As my boyfriend was ordering she was also giving MAJOR attitude. I know it can be a lot but there was no one else in the store and if she needed a break she can ask a coworker to help. Giving attitude to a paying customer is never okay. read more

4/19/25 Cute little, and I mean little coffee shop in Upland, cool staff, love the posted designs on the walls, no seats except for the one near the window (whilst waiting for your beverages) Ordered a hot oat milk latte, surprisingly good, $4.75 for a 16 oz ($1 for oat alternative), no tax!? Nice! Parking is everywhere, on the street & a public parking about a block away. Nice stop over read more

Was walking around downtown Upland and wanted a little refreshment. Enter Rad Coffee. It was later in the day so I wasn't looking for caffeine because I actually wanted to be able to sleep that night. I saw they also offer teas and lemonades, so that sounded perfect. It was fairly busy, even for the evening, and there was only one employee. She was rocking it, though, efficiently balancing taking orders and making drinks. The place is pretty cool with lots of stickers and skateboards. Punk-rock and spooky themed drinks. I decided to try the Mad Tiki which is a blend of lemonade, passion fruit, pomegranate and a hint of ginger. It was heavenly--a drink worthy of transporting you to a tropical paradise! I'd definitely visit again to try more of the menu, or maybe even another Mad Tiki! read more

No one in the cafe- except a boy the barista was flirting with. I asked for a hot mocha- i paid and tipped. When i received the coffee it was warm and (although i didn't ask for no foam) I asked if she could put in some more milk the cup felt 3/4 full. She grabbed the carton of milk and before she could pour- i stopped her as it would have made the warm coffee- even less warm!!! . She said she couldn't put any steamed milk in just cold!!!! Really??? I wanted to ask why and for my tip back?!? But i walked back out into the rain and decided to yelp them. I think they should change the name to"Mediocre Service " coffee! read more

This is the original RAD coffee location in the heart of downtown Upland. It breaks my heart to only give them 3 stars. Don't get me wrong, it's some of the best coffee around and that's why they get a solid 3 stars for the coffee alone. I've frequent many other RAD coffee locations, but this one is just a one off for me. The missing 2 stars? Well that is directed towards the layout of the store and staff itself. Staff here is not friendly at all, as if they are annoyed with the crowd that keeps them busy. Yes there is always a long line out the door, but the coffee is so good! The bathroom is closed off, not allowed to be used by customers. Really?! There is no place to sit inside other than 2 tiny benches by the entrance, which is usually always occupied by people waiting for their orders to be called. And yesssss pay attention to your name being called because if not, your order will just sit there at the front counter. Side note, don't order the cold brew here. It's awful. Everything else on the menu, even the lemonade is legit. If you want to stick around, there is seating on one of the many benches outside (not part of the coffee shop). A few other shops to walk around and check out. Ample parking for free around the area. read more

A Unique hole in the wall coffee shop named Rad Coffee that I stumbled across. Very busy and neighborhood favorite. I asked a returning customer in line for a recommendation and I ordered the Frankenstein Matcha. Review: iced Frankenstein Matcha - Matcha very strong bitter taste Crushed REAL Oreo cookies are quite large and do not suckle through the small opening of the regular sized straw. Suggestion: use Boba straws Overall the drink was tasty with authentic Matcha flavor Customer service: Was mid- maybe I came on a bad day and they were just super busy on a Saturday morning and not feeling friendly. The cups are super cool but I will not return. read more

Located right next to Cosmic Bakery, Rad Coffee looks nondescript from the outside, but inside is a different story. There's a rack of treats on one side and opposite it is merchandise customers can buy. The place looks like it's busy all the time, what with the long lines. Although there are no real tables and chairs to sip your coffee, there are benches by the entrance. It can get a bit crowded and chaotic but it just adds to the vibe. I tried the Horchata-gato, which is their take on affogato, and it sure is tasty. The decaf espresso shots did a lot to tame the sweetness. But I think I will ask them to use less sugar next time. I love that they can customize drinks! It's time-consuming but it makes for a better experience. I'm definitely trying the other coffees next time. This small business also has a location in Covina, which is closer to me. A coffee shop that is this unique and whose staff that sincerely wants to make customers happy deserves our full-throated support. read more

Really nice employees at this location. Service was quick too. Unfortunately, I could barely taste coffee in my latte. $4.50 for a 12oz latte so not a big loss. read more

Great coffee with cool vibe (if you enjoy punk music)! Iced americano tasted very nice but the matcha is not what I'm used to. Possibly with more matcha to milk ratio so can taste the bit of matcha that's not mixed in but over all very enjoyable. read more

My wife wanted a coffee on our way back from Ontario, so the second she saw Rad Coffee pop up on Yelp we knew we needed to come and give this place a try. From the second I walked in, I fell in love with all of the old punk and hardcore flyers hanging up around the place featuring bands like The Misfits, Descendants, Black Flag, and Refused. They had old show fliers covering pretty much every inch of available wall space and that's something that'll bring me back in the future. Another cool thing about this place is that since I'm not a coffee drinker, I was able to try some lemonade on the menu and that also had me stoked. I ended up ordering the "Zombie" lemonade which they describe as "Rad Coffee's Zombie Lemonade is not your average lemonade. This chilling drink is made with a blend of lemonade and blue orange syrup, giving it a uniquely delicious flavor and an eerie green color. Sip on this refreshing beverage and feel like a zombie that has risen from the dead with every sip." I'll be honest here, I don't think the lemonade was a game changer or the best thing I ever had, but it was thirst quenching and tasted pretty good so it still gets a thumbs up from me. Overall, Rad Coffee has one of the coolest aesthetics I've seen in a coffee shop, a super friendly staff, and a large drink selection to quench anyones thirst. I enjoyed my experience and will for sure be back in the future! read more

Not your everyday coffee, but definitely enjoy coming here when I'm in the area. It's a small shop with no seating, but the vibe is great. I usually get frappes, I've tried the Frankenstein drink and the peanut butter crunch drink. The black whip cream looks cool, but it does stain your lips a bit. Both drinks were on the sweet side but fun to have once in a while, adjust to your preferences. I recommend trying. I will be back! read more

This was my first visit here and i really had high expectations since so many people told me this place had good coffee. I love trying new places and I'm glad i got to try this spot out. I ordered a matcha Frappuccino with whip cream and caramel drizzle. My drink looked really cool after i to go back and tell them to add the whip i had asked for. Thats when i found out your guys apparently have different whip colors i thought that was cool. I unfortunately couldn't finish my drink, the caramel drizzle was way too sweet. So now i know for next time no drizzle at all. read more

one of our classics!! we got the cinnamon toast plus cookies and scream drinks. these drinks are based on cereals but blended so it is a sweet yummy treat. the cinnamon toast is a sweet cinnamon blended coffee and can give you a boost if you add a shot which i personally like! then the cookies and scream is a blended coffee as well with some oreo pieces which we also like to add a shot to it. highly recommend these drinks on a very hot day :-) wifi : no parking : street parking aesthetic : punk rock lol study area : no study area read more

Me and my friends stopped by Rad Coffee to try it out and it did not disappoint. The location is cool and the decorations are dope, which makes the whole experience even better. I ordered the Ripper and my friend got the Spanish Latte--both drinks were delicious and full of flavor. You can tell they put a lot of care into their drinks. We'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend if you're a coffee lover! read more

Fun coffee shop located near the train station in Upland. They had many creative drinks to choose from. I ordered the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte and it was spot-on on the flavor. It was not overly sweet and it was pretty balanced with the creaminess and coffee profiles. The staff were helpful enough, nothing notable though. I'd be happy to frequent this coffee shop because of its location in Upland. read more

Service sucks...well the new girl Jaycee has no clue how to talk to customers to timid!

Walked in and asked for a cortado... they looked confused then grabbed the barista who told me she can't make fancy drinks. I was going to explain the cortado but decided if I have to explain it to the barista I probably won't want to drink it. I just wanted a little pick me up I've never had that experience before at an actual coffee shop. read more

This place was so disappointing. You'd think it would be at least decent with all these reviews on yelp. I went here during my lunch break, and not only did I find a hair in the brownie I got, my drink tasted like straight water a sugar. I was so upset because the place looks kinda cool and just a vibe to sit in. But unfortunately my experience was probably a 0 star. Also when I asked for the wifi password one of the employees like looked at me and in a very demeaning tone says "we don't have that here" and then turns around and walks away. This is like whatever, but because the food sucked this interaction just left an extra bad taste in my mouth. read more

Goopiest matcha I ever had. I don't know what was going on that day but my matcha was legit thick. I asked for Oat Milk so I'm not sure if that's just what their oat milk is like?

Didn't have a good experience service wise, but their coffee was alright. Nothing special though for the price

Stopped in here on my way to start a road trip and have been needing a blended coffee. i saw someone on here share their holiday menu which included some mocha/marshmallow drink. i asked the worker if they were still making them, he said no, it ended yesterday. ok, bummer. i would have appreciated if he told me something similar they have. they allow you to "customize" a drink by picking out syrups, your milk of choice & whatever else, so i'm not sure why they can't make that specific drink anymore. isn't that the point of paying for a drink to be made from scratch that's not specifically on the menu? the worker looked like he absolutely hated his life and his job & was overall unfriendly. for this, im knocking off a star. the drink was great, i got the cinnamon toast crunch one. but if you get this guy don't expect a happy smiling face on new year's day. read more
