This coffee shop is so cute and aesthetically pleasing!! the food and latte was delicious!! 100% recommend!!!

I bought their seasonal matcha cloud drink and it came out quickly for being a packed house on a Sunday evening. The drink itself had a beautiful green color, but had a vegetal matcha taste that wasn't the most appealing (and I love a savory matcha). The coconut cream top added a hint of sweetness. Every time I sipped it, I questioned why they chose it as a signature seasonal drink. It was still refreshing due to the use of coconut water. They do have a sign that urges you to get your drink adjusted if you're not satisfied. I love the cafe interior here because it's so bright and welcoming. I appreciated their variety in seating, such as the solo bay-window seats, regular table seats, bar-chairs, and large booth seats. I was able to study fairly comfortably, especially because they had outlets! I'll definitely try their other teas and coffees another time because I'm sure they have done better! read more

Love coming to try out newer coffee shops. And this one did not disappoint. Right smack in the middle of downtown Redlands where all the goodies are at. This coffee shop is modern, very well designed/decorated, sells their own merch, and is kids friendly. They are spacious for something of its kind, has a kids corner, staff are welcoming and efficient, not only was my coffee delicious but my salad was even better! I'm looking forward to spending more time here. read more

Carrot Cake Latte was wonderful! If a latte and carrot had a baby! It was a spring special but I'm so glad I tried it! I could taste all the flavors in the perfect balance! There was even a baby carrot on top! Service was superb! I love the whimsical attitude from the barista. Ambiance was super chill and warm. Give 'em an espresso shot and wander downtown! It's well worth it! read more

RoadRunner Coffee - Carrot Cake Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redlands, California

We went to Redlands to try Deaux donuts and thought what goes best with a donut is coffee. Roadrunner stood out as the front runner and was close to where we had to go to pick up the donuts. The line was long which seemed very promising. It took a good 15-20 mins for us to get to the counter. My wife and daughter ordered the match and they loved it. I ordered a decaf mocha. Since there were many people there that day it took a few minutes to get our drinks. As soon as we got it we took off and started walking. As I said my wife and daughter loved the matcha but my drink tasted off. It had a lemon or sour taste to it like the oat-milk had gone bad. Probably one of the worst coffees I have had and I had to throw it away. Very unfortunate since the place is nice and seems to have really good options both drink and food wise. Go see for yourself but for me this was a miss. read more

VERY cute in here. It's a great study spot (which most of their customers seem to do). It's a newer place but ive already heard so many great things about this cafe so I had to try it. The matcha is delicious, though I wish they had more options for sweetener. Their food is great; including the refrigerated snacks, soups, and sandwiches. I can't wait until they have gluten free options so my loved ones can try the food. I also enjoy the friendly staff and love the idea that they have a little kids corner in the back. I would love to see more seating for booths (I sat in a booth and the other side didn't have chairs). I don't think I really have anything to complain about this place besides the fact that people love it so much that it's always so crowded. it's become one of my new favorites. read more

The Roadrunner is an eye pleasing stunner with a kids corner that makes this a little bit funner. Coffee is fire just like Joe Strummer! You can't afford to pass this place up because if you do it would be a bummer. If the drinks are good now then I can hardly wait for the summer. But if I do?! I'd feel like Dumb and Dumber! I can't let that happen so I'll be on it like a twenty four seven plumber! Riding in s supped up Hummer. ???? read more

Ordered the mango sticky rice matcha and carrot cake latte. Did not have to wait long even though it was pretty packed so that's a plus always! It's a lot bigger inside than it seems so there's plenty of room to study or sit and chat. Our drinks were decent but maybe just a little too sweet so if you have a sweet tooth def for you! read more

This super cute little coffee shop just opened in October and it is amazing. The coffee is so good, and I love that they're very kid-oriented. They even have a little kids' play area with a mini coffee shop setup, which is adorable. It makes it such a great spot for moms to gather and actually enjoy their drinks while the kids stay entertained. This isn't really a quiet study or work-from-your-laptop type of place, it's more of a gathering and conversation kind of coffee shop, which I personally love. The servers are super friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the whole place has this charming desert coffee shop vibe. When you walk in, it just feels warm and welcoming. Such a cute spot with a really cool atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend checking it out! read more

Parking was a synch for a Sunday morning! We parked in the back and made our way to the coffee shop. The line was insane and constant. It was difficult finding a table to do work at and we felt very discouraged. There were a lot of people saving the tables instead of ordering first. Their WiFi also did not work, since it was packed inside. We ordered their gingerbread latte and a citrus bloom. Their gingerbread latte was very sweet. I couldn't taste my coffee. The citrus bloom was full of citrus. It was okay. It resembled the orange chocolate balls that you would buy during the holiday season. The servers weren't the nicest. They seem stressed. It was chaotic and noisy inside, so not super ideal for work, even with headphones on. Needless to say, I don't think we'd be back on a weekend. Probably will attempt a weekday in the future. read more

RoadRunner Coffee is a charming new addition to State Street in downtown Redlands. Parking on the street can be hit or miss, but there are nearby options and it's very walkable. The shop has a super cute, social-media-worthy aesthetic, and while there was a line out the door when we arrived, it moved quickly. The barista was friendly and efficient without being overly chatty. Drink prices are what you'd expect from a local coffee spot. We skipped food this visit but ordered a mocha--my husband said it was delicious and perfectly chocolatey--and an iced matcha for me, which was decent and served in a unique cup. The space was lively with people studying and chatting, and it's bigger than it looks from the front. There's even a children's area in the back with a pretend coffee shop, which is a thoughtful touch. I loved the signs on the larger tables encouraging gathering and socializing rather than long work sessions--it really keeps the community vibe. Wi-Fi is available if you ask. Overall, RoadRunner Coffee already feels like a neighborhood staple. read more

A lovely spacious cafe in the middle to DTR and fell in love the moment I stepped in. They have plenty of seating and booths for chatting with friends, enjoying a meal, or even studying. Friendly staff and really cute aesthetic--giving Joshua Tree minimal desert chic. My friend got the vanilla matcha, not too sweet and good matcha. I got the seasonable gingerbread foam matcha and it was delicious. I was hesitant to try something seemingly too sweet but the gingerbread foam was the right amount of spice and creaminess for the matcha. I thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and the space of the coffee shop. I want to try the food next--everything looks and smells delicious! read more

After wanting to try this place since their opening, I finally made it in tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they're open until 6pm, which is not the case for most coffee shops! I tried their Tuscan chicken sandwich and a cortado. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. I loved the attention to detail with the tiny flowers mixed in with the fruit. The coffee tasted a little burnt, but it wasn't bad. I'll likely try a latte for my next visit. The service was very good here as well! All the employees were super friendly and helpful, even shortly before closing. The overall vibe of the cafe is comfy and aesthetic, and a place that I could see myself wanting to come back to time and time again. Very IG worthy if you're into that heehee. I'm excited to come back and try some of their other food options! read more

As of December 2025, they are relatively new but have already become a favorite locals spot. (Be patient: the lines were long at the breakfast and lunch hours when I dropped by.) On this visit we dropped by on a holiday, and they were fully staffed and in full swing. This coffee shop has a very open and clean design. The service area is centrally located, and was quick and efficient. This is a family orientated coffee shop (See my pic of the children's area for serving their own.) They sell Moon Oat roaster's coffee. As a plain cup of coffee, it's a bit strong and acidic. As you can see from my menu pics, while they service food, it's a bit limited (but also has a kid's selection). read more

Relatively near coffee joint in Redlands. Drinks are delicious and smooth. Very well balanced. One of my recent favorites is the honey fire mocha (sad that it is seasonal). I usually get a honey cinnamon latte otherwise. Lots of seating inside. Spacious. Booths and smaller tables. Pretty fun place. Service is pretty fast. read more

Always fun when new coffee shops open in town! The ambiance is what makes this one unique. Beautiful atmosphere. However, comparable to coffee and matcha in the area. Didn't love that it was additional to add each flavored syrup.. A little busy to have it be "study-able" but still a fun spot/option to have around! Will need to return when I'm hungry to try the food! read more

Great new coffee shop in downtown Redlands. I know, another one?!? But this one is worth the try. Very nice ambiance with cool music and cool vibes.... SERVICE: I showed up on a weekend day so it was super busy, but they acknowledged me and took my order quickly. FOOD: Looks like they serve a good selection of food items and they look pretty tasty! I only came for the go-go juice so I'll have to try the food next time. I had a basic Americano and the flavor was bold and flavorful - very nice!! Come check out Roadrunner... read more

The line was out the door on a Saturday morning but it moves pretty quick. It's good for a grab and go spot or to grab a quick bite. Seating can get full but there is room around the back for more, although might be hard to find with a big group since they give you a number and you have to find an open table. The food itself was really good and well balanced. The French toast paired well with the lemon curd and the breakfast burrito was phenomenal. I was a bit nervous to try purple sweet potato in a burrito but it worked and balanced out the flavor of the rest of the dish. The carrot cake latte wasn't good, the texture was weird and crumbly so I think I would just get a regular latte or a matcha instead. I didn't order a matcha but I noticed that the color was a nice deep green, which is usually a sign of a good matcha! The service was really nice, the people taking the order and working the food and drinks were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, solid brunch spot and would definitely recommend checking out. read more

Aesthetic new coffee shop in downtown Redlands. Parking may be limited to 30 minutes or 2 hours based on where you park in the downtown area. Tons of seating inside and outlets for studying. Since it just opened it's a bit too busy to study at but would be a good place for students in the future on weekdays. Max brunch groups of 4-6 based on table size. Service was pleasant. They do offer rewards by phone number. Drinks were well appreciated both matcha and coffee. In my opinion the matcha is better than the coffee but I would want to go back and try a cortado or cappuccino to say definitively. At this time they don't have any special drinks which I found a bit disappointing but understandable as they just opened. Syrups are homemade, options include honey, brown sugar, vanilla, pumpkin, and mint. From what I could tell they use Califa oat and almond milk. Did not have a chance to try any food at this visit. I might still favor slow bloom or fireproof based on their specialty drinks but this location has more food, more seating, and still solid drinks - depends what you're looking for! read more

One of the most aesthetic coffee shops in the IE. Also one of the priciest (I'm sure it costs a lot to rent that space). Food and drinks were good. Service was efficient and friendly giving how busy they get. I got here upon opening at 7am and I was already behind 4 people. Line was out the door by 7:10-7:15am. The Brekkie Burrito (vegetarian) could use more flavor. The Latte w/ Brown Sugar was a little too dark instead of a smooth taste I was hoping for. I'd come here again. Line died down around 7:40am or so. Brekkie Burrito (vegetarian): 3.5/5 Latte w/ Brown Sugar Oatmilk: 4/5 Cortado w/ Brown Sugar Oatmilk: 4/5 read more

New coffee shop in downtown Redlands. Was informed by a local to try it out and not be in a rush since the wait can be up to 40 minutes. What?! I wasn't about to do that, so I made it my mission to be the first person in line when it opened at 7a. From ordering to the moment I received my full order (coffee first, then food), I was out the door in 20 minutes. Pros: Located in State street where there is ample parking in the morning hours. Beautiful space with modern decor, that has a indoor dining feel with plenty of room to do work, relax, or people watch. Friendly baristas and staff. Cons: Mid coffee with expensive price tag (see photo of 12 oz iced mocha). Lack luster breakfast burrito (see photo). Something was off about the toast I ordered, and can't quite pinpoint it. Total bill was almost $35 for 1 coffee and 2 food items. The wait is REAL, and I was the first person there. Do I regret it? No. Will I return? Also probably no. Especially since the line gets LONG within 10 minutes of opening. The local's advice was correct. Check it out. But don't be in a rush or you might be disappointed. read more

Ahhh!! I loved everything about this place! I came here on my off day to relax, do some travel planning, & have a good drinky/meal. I loved their food options I do recommend that they add more egg forward breakfast items. I went with the breakfast burrito since I was feeling nice and hungry. The burrito was fresh and more on the healthy side with the purple sweet potato and chicken sausage. It lacked a bit of spice and the salsa was okay but not great. If you're not Hispanic or don't regularly eat Mexican food it you might really like the salsa. I had to add tapatio and wished the potatoes were better seasoned but it had a fresh forward taste to it. It's like a health food burrito with Latin inspo. I still really enjoyed it and loved my little berries on the side which is rare for a restaurant to have since berries are pricey. I got the HoneyFire Mocha with oatmilk and it was so delicious. The main note was honey with chocolate on the backend. It was not overly rich and very smooth. I loved it for a day when it was cold. This place is a health forward no seed oil kind of place and you will definitely tell. My mocha was very wholesome and not overly sweet. If you're an ingredients matters person this is the place for you. I personally am so I really liked it. As for the seating they have a generous selection. When I was in line I was very much manifesting a seat opening up because it was packed. People come and go pretty often so you can definitely find yourself a seat. The outlet selection was the best I've seen at a coffee shop. Thank you RoadRunner it was great read more

I always come to RoadRunner to study. The drinks are consistently good, and I'd like to specifically shout out the nice barista with the mustache and glasses. He always makes the best drinks and never misses with whatever drink I order. The breakfast burrito was definitely upgraded! I got it again and it was delicious. Very well seasoned this time, and I really enjoyed the chicken sausage, egg and sweet potato combo. Lovely place to do work and get a nice meal. Great job RoadRunner Coffee! read more

Three stars for the aesthetic and good tasting coffee. 0 stars for the poor service. I ordered a drip coffee to go and I was handed a coffee with no lid. When I asked where I could find a lid, the staff person looked at me oddly like I asked for something out of the ordinary. She then reached for it behind the counter and handed it to me. I also ordered a croissant. I enjoyed one when they first opened months ago and it was warmed up and tasted super delish. This time it was thrown in a box without it being warmed. Who wants to eat a cold croissant? Mind you, there was no line, they were not busy. The person working the register needs to get engaged on what they're doing. She's not the vibe for what could be a great café experience. read more

Finally had time to review Roadrunner Coffee! The day I went it was very busy with a line to the door. The service from the staff was excellent and efficient- I moved through the line really quickly. I found a table in the back to eat my food while catching up with a friend. It can be a little loud when busy, but the staff works hard to circulate people through the line. The baristas and cashier were friendly and kind-offering helpful suggestions and recommending one of their specials- the Citrus Bloom Latte. Would recommend stopping by when they aren't too busy during the days. With a selection of pastries, brunch foods, and delicious drinks they're a wonderful addition to the Downtown Redlands community. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile as it's super cute and on a main walkable street in Redlands. Unfortunately we had a similar experience to some of the other reviews. The espresso and drink experience just fell flat. The iced honey cinnamon latte and cortado were ok but not something to return for. The triple shot with brown sugar and oat milk was bitter/burnt tasting. Not sure if it was a dark brown sugar where a molasses flavor profile was taking over/ or an odd oat milk used/ or just espresso that was different. Neither of the other two drinks with espresso had that bitter taste tho so I'm guessing it wasn't due to the espresso. I had waited to come here hoping all the kinks could be worked out as I know new businesses sometimes have to find their flow but after this much time and this much feedback from others I'm just not sure it's for me. Didn't try the food so can't comment on that. Appreciated the female hygiene products in the bathroom if needed, that was a very thoughtful and unique touch. read more

Cute spot with good small bites on the menu. Drink wise, I've only had the matcha and each time it's been pretty good. Their yogurt bowl is pretty delish as well. The staff have been nice each time. I hope they continue to do well. It's nice seeing a newer spot downtown. read more

I have only heard good things about this place. I ordered and Grain and Garden bowl and it is a beautiful combination of flavors. Mine didn't have the Tzatziki on it or oil and vinegar dressing, which made it a little bland for my tastebuds. The hummus is lacking flavor too. I will order it again and maybe ask for some dressing or tzatziki on the side. I ordered the lavender, Agave Iced latte and it was made perfectly, not too sweet. read more

Such a cute new spot!! This place is a vibe. I ordered an iced chai, it was very good! It was very subtle. I also ordered a Sammie, it was delicious. The chipotle mayo sauce was a little spicy to me but I don't handle spice every well. Overall, really great spot. My only complaint with this place would be its limited seating but it's Redlands so the real estate is pretty tiny. read more

Been here many times shop itself it gorgeous. Coffee is hot or miss. I order the same drink every time and it's different every time.... Breakfast is good! Burrito is my go to. Love the no seed oils. Now.... CUSTOMER SERVICE... Yeah that needs some major improvement. Whenever I send my coffee back which is 50% of the time I always get attitude. Today I asked for a larger cup of ice because I asked for my drink to be in a 16oz not 12oz. It was given in a 12oz so when I asked for a larger cup with ice the amount of attitude along with the way the cup was given was enough for me not to come back and support this establishment. read more
