I love trying new coffee shops so I was excited when I found this place. I was under the impression that they were Christian owned, which made me happy to support. It is located in a super cute Spanish style building. They have handmade jewelry and other crafty items. I immediately noticed that some of the items don't align with Christian values, so that was a bit surprising and off-putting. I still decided to order since I was already there. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I decided to try an iced latte and a matcha. I really wanted to like it. Sadly, the first sip of my iced latte was warm. It seemed as if they put the hot espresso in the cup first, followed by the milk and then the ice. I swished it around and stirred it with the straw to try to make it cold. There was very little ice in the cup. The flavor was definitely lacking. I would've never known what flavor it was supposed to be if I hadn't ordered it myself. Next, I tried the matcha. I don't know if they forgot to add the syrup but it literally tasted like it was just matcha powder and water. I ended up throwing both drinks away. I know that people have left all positive reviews. I don't know if someone new made my drinks and that's why they weren't good. I'm hoping that's the case and that the place is successful.

Omg haven't been wowed by a coffee in a while their honey cinnamon latte with banana cold foam was sooo good! Highly recommend :)

I got the pumpkin spice latte and I love that I can still taste the coffee and it was sweet enough but not overpowering the coffee taste. Debbie took the time to explain the new fall drinks and recommendations and I mentioned I'm watching my sugar intake and she was very nice, sweet and patient with my requests :)

Great experience here! Must check it out. No extra costs for dairy alternatives. There is so much to check out in the shop.

The merch and all the decor is really cool, and I can tell they're really working on building community there. I used to go here when it was Snacks and the customer service hasn't changed, the atmosphere is still the same. Wishing this group many more years of success!

They freshly grind their coffee, sell their beans, and have cute merch. Service was meh for me. The barista jokingly asked if I was waiting 30 minutes for the Heavy Hitter bagel or going to McDonald's, then suggested everyone in line go to Dutch Bros. Funny? Yes. A little off-putting as a first-time visitor? Also yes. I prefer a warmer, friendlier local coffee shop vibe. Pumpkin Matcha: 3/5 Came out *super* fast, which may have been part of the problem. Pretty basic--no cold foam or whip cream and cinnamon on top which would have been a nice touch. Matcha was a bit gritty and more on the earthy side, but had a nice subtle pumpkin flavor. Not top 5 material. Not sure if I'll be back... On my quest for the best pumpkin matcha, in the words of U2: I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

The artwork and name say a lot about a part of the city that isn't polished, but is full of culture and character. This was actually the first local coffee shop I tried when moving here about a year ago, but I didn't think much of it at the time. Fast forward to now, and I'm in LOVE with the fall menu! The pumpkin tasted like a slice of pie in my mouth, and the pecan was equally delicious. Can't believe I waited so long to go back! More of a grab-and-go spot, but the staff are cool, the drinks are , and the vibe alone is worth checking out!

Omg the way this drink stole my heart today!…read more Well played Hood Grind. Well played! I had originally ordered the matcha with the pumpkin base and a pistachio foam. They were kind enough to let me know their matcha barista blend comes sweet so with the pumpkin AND on top of that the foam it would have been way too sweet so we settled for no pumpkin. I appreciate the staff and taking the time to ensure the drink was made in a way I would enjoy. I also didn't have to wait long and I got to lounge while I waited for my drink. This is a pick up and go location. There's only a couch. Place is a vibe though and is cute. I think they would benefit from a few more seats. Looking forward to another matcha with pistachio foam. Definitely a top favorite now!

This spot has been in my bookmarks for MONTHSSSSS!! Headed to Redland and thought "this is the…read moreperfect time" and idk why I have waited so long?? Full disclosure, I went in the evening, so I wasn't fighting the morning/weekend crowds. First of all, the outside space is awesome, there are cute tables and lights outside (but don't worry there are umbrellas so the sun won't beam on you). The inside is super vibey with ample seating. I'm going to assume that because lots of folks were working on their computers that there is WiFi available. Definitely forgot to snag a picture of the drink menu, but the barista told me about their house syrups that are available all year but they have a seasonal menu. 10/10 recommend the pb&j latte

Every sip had something going on, and the drink itself (Vienna) was the best part. However, when considering price and size it, was a bit of a let down. It only comes in a 12 oz, and at $8 a cup, the price-to-size ratio didn't quite make sense for me compared to similar specialty coffee shops. The space was also not really my vibe. There were A LOT of people working, but the quarters felt tight and cramped. Instead of cozy, homey coffee shop vibes, it was giving college dormitory where everybody crams in to work and hang out. Apparently, I've aged out of that aesthetic. Service was decent and quick, though, and I really love the mission behind this business, which definitely deserves some extra love from me. And a random shoutout to the bathroom because it was actually large, spacious and quite nice. Bottom line: The drink was phenomenal, the mission is something I really appreciate, and while the price/size and atmosphere weren't quite my thing, I still had a fairly decent experience overall.

If you love espresso, you need to check this spot out!…read more The moment you walk in, it instantly feels like home it's so cozy and warm. They even have an adorable wall dedicated to their two German Shepherds, Bear and Kono, which I absolutely loved. When I arrived, the tables were full of people working, studying, and friends catching up. They have a fantastic menu with tons of flavor options and food items. I kicked off the fall season with my first Pumpkin Spice Latte it was incredibly smooth, not bitter at all, and you can see they use a high-quality espresso machine. I also ordered the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and I was so surprised! It came loaded with spinach, tomato, and a delicious creamy sauce, plus the cheese pull was unbelievable. It blew my expectations out of the water. I recommend this place if you're looking to study, work from home, a place to catch up or like me looking for some breakfast before work this is your place to be!

They helped me figure out what latte I wanted, and got the Spanish Latte with oat milk and extra shot. It tasted very good. Not too sweet but flavorful enough to enjoy, like I'd expect from a Spanish latte. My latte before tip costs around $8-9. 16oz is their largest size hot cup and they normally only put 2 shots espresso in, which I'm not used to, with most places I've gone offering 3-4. So it quickly got up in price with my oat milk and add shot modification. Either way I like the vibe of this place and recommend to others as I look forward to coming back.

This one came up on my radar, but I think I overlooked it since I wasn't sure I would be able to make it that day. After catching up with a friend over dinner, she said I HAD to try this amazing tea place that was nearby because it was that good. She's had it multiple times and everything has been pretty amazing. I was sold - we headed over and honestly, it's such an unassuming location that I would not have thought a tea place would be here. Almost in an industrial business plaza with some other drink places in the nearby vicinity (a coffee place that my friend also recommended). Parking is decent. Storefront is pretty small, more for a grab and go although there's some chairs/benches for people to sit and wait. They have a very cute interior atmosphere. And they also have weekly baked goods that they sell in their refrigerator. I was debating between getting 1-2 drinks, but I had already had my quota for the week (!) so I opted for just one. Now I regret not getting two, haha. I ordered the assam salted cream $6.50 for their larger 24 oz with their handmade boba for an additional $0.75. My friend went with the hojicha salted cream. Was able to adjust sugar level but unable to adjust ice - and I did feel like they packed a lot of ice into my drink. But the flavor was on point and I loved the chewiness of their housemade boba. The tea was still slightly sweeter than I would have liked at 50% sweetness - but the cream on top, getting a sip with all the components was pretty amazing. And made my drive home that much more bearable. Saw somebody walk out of the shop after I had ordered with 4 thai tea salted creams ... was sad that I didn't get one for myself. But that gives me a reason to come back! They also have oat milk teas, brewed teas, whisked teas, and limited menu teas. tl;dr - solid tea place in Redlands. Highly recommend if you're in the area and craving something to drink!

A 10/10 Cafe Experience!…read more Qamaria is genuinely one of my favorite spots! Everything about this place makes me want to keep coming back, from the comforting atmosphere to the welcoming customer service. You can tell why it stays so busy! On my latest visit, I got the baklava, pistachio milk cake, an iced matcha latte, and the Araysi smoothie. Everything was so good, but that Araysi drink was seriously amazing! I would go back just for that alone. The desserts were delicious, the drinks hit the spot, and overall, everything was a 10/10. I also really love the atmosphere here. It's cozy, inviting, and a great place to unwind. They welcome people who want to study or work remotely, which makes it even better. The only downside is that it can get pretty busy, so sometimes there's a long line or finding a place to sit can be a little challenging. However, I completely understand the popularity because it's such a great environment once you get settled in. Between the amazing drinks and desserts, great customer service, and relaxing atmosphere, Qamaria is definitely a favorite of mine. If you're looking for a cozy cafe with delicious treats and a welcoming vibe, this place is absolutely worth checking out. Five stars from me!

I have been here three times now and every time it has been a great experience…read more 1. Staff is kind, patient and helpful. We had our boys with us for one of the visits and it took a bit for them to decide what they wanted, but staff was very helpful in explaining the menu and helping everyone decide. 2. The space is comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. The cushioned seating against the walls makes you feel like you're enjoying your coffee and treats in a someone's living room. The music also adds to the immersive cultural experience. I love the trays that they use to serve the food and coffee, they are a beautiful detail. 3. The coffee and food is exceptional. My favorite has been the Qamaria Latte, my sister loved her pistachio latte (they use real pistachios to create a pistachio paste to use in the latte). I have tried the honeycomb (so good, my boys loved this one), pistachio cheesecake (well balanced and light for a cheesecake it doesn't leave your stomach feeling like you ate something extra rich), pistachio milk cake (perfect!) and others. It can get a bit pricey, but the quality of the ingredients and food makes it worth it, especially if it's just one or two people. I probably won't take all three of my boys next time but maybe for a fun outing with one of them.
