Carrot Cake Latte
Colleen R.

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!

The Cortado
Leonard A.

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. ????

Sandstone sandwich with bacon  sooooo good
Jessica L.

Friendly service, clean and greattttt breakfast sandwich!!!! I loved the sandstone sandwich with bacon! the chipotle sauce was perfect and the arugula was super fresh. Got orange and a bunch of grapes with it too! Go here for breakfast! It's fantastic

Mango sticky rice matcha and carrot cake latte
Ingrid G.

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!

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!

Gingerbread Latte and Citrus Bloom
Canary H.

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.

Hot mocha and matcha latte
Apryl W.

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.

Gingerbread matcha, vanilla matcha
Carrisa J.

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!

Such a cute beautiful ambience. Coffee and food are great can't go wrong and customer service always delivers

Chicken sandwich
Jessica C.

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!

Kids section
Monty D.

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).

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.

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!

Love the ambience  I tried the cortado - superb tasty

See all

I come here every once in a while after church on sundays whenever i'm in redlands and bro somehow…read moreevery time it's ALWAYS different menu. Slow Bloom always has a rotated seasonal menu that literally reads like poetry. like wdym i have the option to get a Whimsical Strawberry Magic Cheesecake Latte???? i love hojicha more than regular matcha (before the "uuurm, actually--" comments i know they're both matcha) BUT MY FRIENDS STILL CALLED ME PERFORMATIVEEEE?? and do i care? HELL NAH. Hojicha tastes like a nuttier, cocoa-like, more roasted version of matcha, and Slow Bloom does Hojicha GREAT... close with all the drink cafes in KTown.... BUT IN THE INLAND EMPIRE BABY. it was so smooth, whisked, and CREAMY. the vanilla cream top really topped it off, it was perfectly balanced and not insanely sweet. BUT THE MATCHA IS FANTASTIC HERE TOO. i tried a sip of my friend's matcha latte and it was POTENT. ur not gonna get a light green matcha... it'll be dark, yet smooth and not bitter at all. definitely one of the top matchas in the IE. the coffee selection here are so unique, and you can tell they GENUINELY care about have high quality options and varieties (their drip options are plentiful, include origins, and flavor profiles... i see all you pretentious connoisseurs--)

Creamy, fluffy foam, coconutty flavor with a bit of caramel sweetness, dark chocolate espresso and alotta cinnamon flavor. Deliciously perfect for a Fall or Winter drink! This drink took me by surprise! Really enjoyed it! CHOCOLATE SEMOLINA OLIVE OIL LOAF It wasn't bad, but a bit disappointed that it was straight up chocolate loaf. Technically, it is more of a cocoa loaf, as it is not sweet nor is there chocolate in it. However, it had a lovely spongy, bouncy texture. Flavor-wise, it's nothing special especially with the long name and all. SUNSHINE MATCHA LATTE (Iced) Nekohama matcha. Latte was a bit sweet. But you can taste the Earl Grey and matcha. Got it with whole milk. It made it creamy, which was good. I did taste a hint of lemon in it as well. Honestly did not like that extra lemon flavor, as it distracted from the Earl Grey itself. I don't think the lemon was necessary. There was citrus flavor, but not tartness. I think citrus peel would have been better if they wanted an extra citrus flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad except the lemon flavor. Really threw me off. CUSTOMER SERVICE Service was nice. Recommended drinks were good. INDOOR & OUTDOOR SEATS A-PLENTY Ambiance had a retro feel, which was fun. Indoor was packed! No tables or seats available. Smaller tables for 2. Outdoor tables and seats were available. Big groups can be seated outdoors with larger tables. Bathroom available. PARKING LOT Small-ish parking lot. Parking lot was packed. Given how packed it was inside, there were a few spots for parking. There is also free street parking as well. Love the drink options here and would love to return when I'm in the area!

The inside has a really cozy and aesthetic vibe, and one thing I thought was super cool is that you can actually sit and draw, then put your artwork up in the shop. It gives the place a really creative and community feel that makes it stand out from other tea spots. The worker was super nice and helpful, especially since I was being really indecisive about what to get. They took their time to explain things and helped me decide without making it feel rushed at all. I got the matcha latte, and I absolutely loved it. It was smooth, well balanced, and just really comforting without being too heavy or overly sweet. I also tried a few drinks off my friends' orders, like the Assam + Oat and the Barley + Sea Cream. The Assam + Oat had a really deep, bold tea flavor that paired nicely with the creamy oat milk, making it smooth but still strong. The Barley + Sea Cream was more unique, with a light roasted, nutty taste from the barley and a rich, slightly salty cream top that made it really interesting and different in a good way. It's a really cozy spot that highlights the tea experience in a simple but thoughtful way, and I'd definitely come back.

Their choices of tea are exquisite and sourced from the best tea makers. The vibe is also what I show up for!

It's kind of tucked away, which makes finding it feel like a nice surprise. The space inside is really big and thoughtfully designed, and their menu is super creative. I like that they change their drinks seasonally, which keeps things interesting every time you come back. The worker was really nice and helpful, answering questions and making the whole experience feel welcoming. The interior is one of the highlights. There are a lot of interactive and unique areas, like a greenhouse and even a candle room, which makes the space feel more than just a regular café. It's a fun place to explore while you're there. I got the Afterglow, and it was really good. The pandan flavor wasn't too strong, so it didn't overpower the matcha and everything blended really nicely. My friend got the Meta Matcha, which was also delicious. It was smooth, well balanced, and had a rich matcha flavor that stood out without being too heavy. Overall, it's such a cool spot with amazing drinks, a unique atmosphere, and friendly service. Definitely a place I'd keep coming back to.

The espresso was so delicious my husband got rocket fuel and I did the meteorite. Absolutely delicious not too sweet-- and the espresso still shines! I cannot do sweet coffee drowned in caramel sauce. Now the space is very nice but it can be a bit loud with the nearby space having Zumba. The atmosphere is more alive than your average coffee shop but there are spaces where you can sit to be away from the chatter as well. The nostalgia alone is worth visiting, but we love the themed menu items, the support for local bakeries, and the community feel.
