Really cool building for a coffee shop. I unfortunately always go when there's a line out the door, so very popular and successful shop. Their specialty lattes are good. My one complaint is they are an extremely political shop. From their instagram they stand on one extreme side of the political spectrum and put on events that spread confusion and negativity. I just want a coffee, pastry and a "good morning", nothing other than that. We all need a break from the media & news going on in the world. So I will continue going to other shops in the area. read more

Very busy coffee shop with a comfy vibe. Staff is very friendly and drinks are tasty. Nice that they don't charge for alternative milks. Parking can be tricky but definitely worth the visit. Indoor and outdoor seating is a plus. A nice place to settle in and work for a bit read more

Slow Bloom is located a bit back from the street it's on. Even though the parking lot is larger than other coffee shops, it shares it with a restaurant and during rush hour, there's seldom an open spot. There's also a long line to order at times. The cafe is small inside but they have outdoor seating and I've never had trouble finding a place to sit and sip. The drinks are good. Plenty of choices and you can't go wrong ordering anything here. read more

My first yelp review ever! And it's not because I'm mad. I was running early for an appointment nearby and remembered a friend recommended this place. Checked out the menu ahead of time because I'm one of those people. I was still a bit intimidated because I'm usually just a mocha frap person (I never know what to order) and this looked like a "real" coffee place but the cashier was great. It was pretty packed but he was patient when I responded with confused silence when he asked what kind of milk I would like. I went with oat. The service was quick and great. And the coffee was delicious. read more

Love it here !! During the summer they have slushies and those are also some of my favorite drinks . The coffee is really well done ! Perfectly balanced and just a perfect local coffee shop ! read more

Nice little coffee shop in Redlands. We came on a Sunday morning and there was a line out the door the entire time. Inside felt a little cramped mostly because the tables are so close to each other. But there is plenty of seating outside. They have all of the basic coffee drinks that you'll find at any coffee shop all year round. Then they have a seasonal menu depending on the time of the year. We ordered from their Spring drinks. I ordered the Strawberry Daydream which is house strawberry milk topped with Mizuba Matcha. It wasn't too sweet and the quality of the matcha was great. My fiancé ordered a Raspberry Caramel Latte. He said it was a unique combination but enjoyed it! read more

This review is long over due. Slow Bloom is my favorite coffee shop in the IE! It holds up with some of the best in OC and LA both in coffee quality and atmosphere. I've been coming since they opened and have never had a bad drink. My go to is either a single origin cold brew or a seasonal latte. Also the baristas are always friendly and very welcoming! read more

Ambiance and service is great, but their coffee is quite sour. Nothing wrong if you prefer that, but if you're looking for a smoother cup of coffee - keep looking read more

"Best Latte of 2024!" - Me "Second that!" - My husband who values coffee way more than me, lol. :D This latte was a smooth magical joy of rich n' creamy milk to the bold, subtle chocolatey flavor of the espresso with just the right amount of foam! Some may call it "a walking masterpiece in a travelers mug", and those folks would be exactly right. I'd highly rec stopping in! The staff is friendly, the vibe is cool. It could be a to-go order or a spot to meet a friend for a chat. Either way, go get a latte! read more

Everything about this little coffee shop is great. The people working there, the coffee and the ambiance. I wish we lived closer to it! My little girls wanted to sit at the bar to have their hot chocolate and they loved looking at them making the drinks. The lattes were so good that my husband bought two bags of beans to take home. We had to go back the next day before we went back home. Definitely recommend their drinks. read more

A cute retro coffee place to study or meet up with friends for a chat. Each and every worker is sweet and quick! Drinks are ready faster than your local starbucks! The strawberry matcha is my favorite around town! I've come in many times to study and always had a pleasant experience. A worker recommended the banana bread and it was delicious! will come again! read more

Coffee is a staple, a necessity, and a lifeblood for many people. Slow Bloom aims to satisfy that for us. It's a tiny little shop with limited parking and space but don't let that deter you from good coffee. I may be basic and just get latte whatevers but damn if the lattes aren't straight fire and high quality. So yeah, you better grab coffee here on the regular. If you're feeling especially generous, grab a bakery item too cause they're pretty sweet too. You can't go wrong with anything here. Grab a coffee and chat with friends, study, or for home. This place will take good care of you read more

Walked in not knowing what to expect. The staff was great and very friendly. I sat at the counter top to wait for my drink and was very impressed. First I got a Horchata Cold Brew 10/10. Finished my day with a Banana Bonita 10/10. Everyone was enjoying their time there. I was able to enjoy the outdoor patio and loved the set up. Def will go back. read more

Great coffee but don't waste your money on the donuts!! I wa so excited to come here and we were greeted by a pretty long line on Sunday around noon. The line went outsider the door into the parking lot as the space inside is pretty small. There are a couple indoor tables and an outside patio which was pretty full. The line moved fast and the staff were very welcoming. I got the black sesame slush and a halva donut. The black sesame /slush was very sweet and nutty, which I loved. Would not recommend unless you have a sweet tooth! The donut was served to me in its container partially smashed and was very bready and chewy. Not something you want in a donut. I think it was over processed and the texture was very unappealing. The halve and chocolate glaze were yummy though. I definitely want to come back to try some of their other coffees but it looks like their baked items could use some work! read more

Always enjoy their lattes. Never disappointed. Coffee has a nice rich taste. Come out & support this small business. Their backstory is truly remarkable. read more

This was our second stop on our coffee tour around the Redlands/San Bernardino area, and overall it was just okay. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively, great energy and fully packed, which is always a good sign for business. I ordered the Banana Bonita as a Matcha Latte instead of espresso. The banana flavor definitely came through, but the drink was a bit too milky for my taste, I'd rate it a 6/10. My coworker got the Iced Horchata Cold Brew, but the cold brew tasted a little sour and the horchata flavor was barely noticeable. Based on the hype, we were expecting a bit more. Still, we grabbed a stamp card and may stop by again during our summer internship to try something different and give it another shot. read more

This place is an absolute gem and I am ecstatic that we chose it on our way to Cabazon. There were other coffee places (mostly chains or donut shops with bad coffee) but I am glad we ended up here!! The coffee is very high quality and perfectly crafted. I got the Pumpkin Spiced Latte with Oat milk (no modifications) and loved it! My girlfriend got a cortado with half and half and it was also spectacular. The place is very cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating. They sell their own branded beans and also a variety of Fellow Products. Quick and friendly service. I wish they had a place like this in the SGV. I can confidently say it's one of my favorite coffee spots in CA. I own a Gaggia Classic Pro and I've never been able to pull shots as good as theirs. What a dream. read more

My office recently moved to a building off of this exit and it's open early so I've been able to stop by a couple of times before starting my day. It's quick even when there's a line the wait isn't bad at all. I kind of like that there's not much outside of beverages but sometimes I wish I could just get like a croissant too. Overall it's good. I like that they have seasonal menus read more

Eh? Weird place. Employees aren't the friendliest. They open when they want to open and close when they want to close. I went one time and they were supposed to be open till 8pm and they said sorry we are closing at 1 pm today. read more

i usually do the vanilla latte here and occasionally try their seasonal drinks when they come out with a new menu. this time, i ordered the cherry amor and it was kinda disappointing. it lacked the cherry flavor thats in the name, yet, very strong on the cardamom. perhaps, i don't have the best taste buds for cherry. dunnooo but nonetheless, i love this place and will continue to come back to try their new drinks! read more

I love their strawberry matcha, pumpkin spice latte, and their labneh danish. I have been coming here for a while and never had a problem with any of the staff members because of how open and welcoming they are. Today I had a different experience, a worker that I've never seen before, didn't catch his name but he had dark hair was very dismissive when I asked him when they bring the labneh danish and at first he was hesitant to answer and he just looked down and ignored my question and wrote on my cup. And so I asked again and I think he just made an answer up because he said everyday but Thursday. I've been here so many times and I sometimes never see the labneh danish available. read more

I know some folks who moved a year ago to the San Bernardino area and the first thing I did when I visited was to look up local coffee shops. I was super happy to see that Slow Bloom was 15-20min away and after viewing their IG/website and I was blown about how they started. Their values definitely align with mine and this has been my go to coffee shop every single time I visit the area. My favorite drinks to order will always be a cortado or iced americano. However, sometimes I do indulge in the special rotating menu that has sweet or interesting flavor combinations. read more

My family has been dying to try slow bloom so we took a special trip out to Redlands just before the holidays. We were all excited to try our drinks. I even decided to get 2 for myself (maple praline latte and cafe de olla). The line was long and the place was packed. What could go wrong? We waited a while before we could finally get a table and I wish I could say it was worth the wait but it certainly wasn't. I don't get the hype. Is it crowded because it's the new hipster hangout or what? The drinks were a huge disappointment. The cafe de olla was just sad. You can tell the coffee is watery, lacks body and flavor which they try to hide behind spices. The spices weren't bad but with a sad watery coffee the drink was lackluster at best. The maple praline - blasé and simply put BLAND. It just wasn't special. And for the price? Oof you would hope the drinks would be better than mid but that wasn't the case. I didn't finish mine. No one in my family liked their drinks. What are the odds? Skip it. read more

10/22/23 it's a very cute cafe located in a residential area. The decor is old school retro vibes. There's lots of seating indoors and outdoors. On a Sunday morning around 9am there were quite a few people already there. After we ordered there was a line of customers. The prices are average. About $6 for my flavored latte. My drink was smooth. My other friends also enjoyed their drinks. The rose cardamom had a very light floral taste but delicious. There was a display case of some pastries. The workers were friendly enough. The guy at the register taking orders could have been a little more smiley. The place was clean and spacious. I also noticed a cold water dispenser available. People seemed to be enjoying their coffee and chatting with friends or working on their laptops. Overall I would come back here if I ever visit again. read more
