    Smoothie
    Natalie D.

    Stopped here for a quick work break and it's like a hidden gem! Worker was really nice and recommended me a smoothie! Did not disappoint at all and was really fresh! The ambiance in here is insane and so unique, unlike any cafe I've been to before. Tables are so unique , love all the decor and the perfect place to study or work from. They have a lot of other items you can enjoy from too. Could not recommend this place enough!

    the ambiance in this cafe is super cute, they have a ton of unique features like a keychain vending machine. You can tell they really care about building community and supporting small business. My matcha latte was decent, but nothing spectacular. I got a matcha with oat milk & flavored with strawberry. I would definitely get it again, especially since the area lacks coffee shops.

    My co workers love this place so I decided to come in for a visit the other day on my lunch break! The location itself is in a very nondescript plaza but I love the vibes inside. The baristas were all friendly and cool and I love the decor inside too. Their sandwiches are simple but delicious and I'm not usually a coffee person but I had best oat milk caramel macchiato .

    Came here on a Saturday morning to get some work done. The place has a lot of decorations with a nice vibe to it. I chose a table although they also have couches to sit down at. I ordered a lemonade with lavender as an added flavor. They had many different flavors to choose from. It had a nice subtle flavor. I also ordered an Italian sandwich and it was really good! I'd go back and order it again. When I was leaving I met the owner that was working next door. He was very nice and mentioned how they host different events at this cafe and in the building next to it. Overall I had a really nice experience here!

    Came on a weekday for brunch and to do some studying! There was plenty of parking spots as well. All the workers were very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The air is super cold in here too! The WiFi was great and connected the whole time. Croissant sandwich with ham and Swiss cheese- Their sandwich option came with either bagel or croissant along with egg. This definitely hit the spot and was delicious when toasted. London fog- This was delicious for any non-caffeine drinkers. It was sweet but not too sweet either. My friend described it as fruity pebbles!

    What a great spot!! The food was straight forward, but good. I love a toasted bagel with stuff on it. For beverages, tons of options and hella milk options and the up-charge isn't crazy. There really isn't any service outside of ordering at the counter and your order being called. It's pretty straight forward. The vibe is quaint. I want to attend a poetry night soon, but have only been during the day where all the folks are working and such. Internet seems to be high speed and the subtle details of plants, couches, comfy chairs, etc. really set the tone.

    My party and I were able to walk in around 12pm so peak lunch hours and found a table being occupied by a single charging iPad. This belonged to a group of what I deem students that already occupied 2 tables (1 for them and the other for all of their items). Other than an uncontrollable factor by the establishment, we had a nice spot to study while we ordered their food and drinks. The interior is very chilled, very spacious, and the noise is reflective of the amount of customers they have. The latte matcha was good! The quality of the matcha was nice paired with the overall mix. The turkey sandwich was flavorful and a good hefty size. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and hit the spot. I also had a hazelnut latte that was hot, but the quality of the coffee was definitely better than what you get at the big name companies. I will definitely come by again when I want to study and grab a drink as it's a wonderful place to hang out and be productive. 5/5

    I loved the idea of this place, and isn't that what we look for in local coffee shops? The soul and vibe and the owner who helped take my order gave me such a welcome and connected me immediately to what inspired and keeps this place vibrant. Looking forward to attending their workshops and open mic nights. The chairs are a bit cold and loud, but that's easily remedied with a jacket. The outlets were plentiful and the guests all seemed to get their orders fairly quickly. The croissant soy chorizo was small, but delicious, and was even featured in the comic book that explained the origin story of this business. Way to go!

    Second time coming an ambience is really great it's nice and quiet, there's plenty of chairs, it's kind of dark but it's fine. Nice AC, plenty of comics to read and buy, and there's resources as well (flyers, pamphlets, masks, covid tests). The service is great, they're nice and patient and you can tell they care about the community. They are a bit slow I waited about 15 for two coffees and I was the first in line. Not a fan of waiting when it's to go and quick. Now the food, I don't know I haven't tasted it but the drinks are so mid. They use Costco brand oat milk and almond milk. They have no house made syrups and everything is artificially flavored. It's not something you can't do at home. They use syrup brands you can find at home goods, buy the milk from Costco, and just get some mid espresso. It's not appetizing at all the way they do it. I am giving them 3 stars for their customer service and the ambience. I would give them 3.5 because they care for their community. Drinks are a no no no here though. They have potential here but it's so mid.

    A very fun and inviting coffee experience. The ambience is vibrantly decorated with lots of fun comic reading materials and an arts & crafts table that makes it interactive. Staff are really friendly , who are all welcoming. They have a large menu selection of drinks, pastries and food.

    20 oz cold brew with cold foam $7.45
    Monique L.

    I always stop at Starbucks because it's convenient and on the way to work but honestly, I feel like it doesn't even wake me up or half of the time doesn't even taste good.. it's either too sweet or watered down. I had some extra time before going into work and I decided to stop here I got a cold brew, which was excellent! Instantly woke me up. I decided to try their breakfast croissant and that was super delicious and filling I only had half of it so far. I would come here again coffee was great and everything was made so fast. Thank you Birdcage Comics Cafe

    Let's go!

    You walk into this place and BOOM you feel like you wanna just put on some headphones, lay back and relax, and enjoy the really hip ambiance of the place while reading or working. It's FULL of niche comics created by independent artists, which I couldn't support better! It is in conjunction with the comic store across from it, so the area itself is such a chill, cool place to study or hang with a friend with dark lighting and a retro type of vibe. The Matcha and bluejay lattes were great, and the food looks really delicious so I'll have to try next time. Service itself was incredibly kind and welcoming!

    I've been going to Saverino's Italian Deli & Market for many years, and it has always been amazing…read more The food is consistently excellent, whether you're ordering a sandwich, lasagna, a side, or one of their daily specials. This place is always busy, both inside and with takeout orders, so I definitely recommend ordering ahead if you're in a hurry. That said, they are consummate professionals at what they do, and even if you walk in, the wait is never painful. My advice: check out the menu while you're in line and be ready to order when you get to the register. They're busy, and nobody wants to be the indecisive person holding up the line! Their daily specials are incredible, but be aware that if you want a special from a different day, it's not happening. Also, get there early if you want the special, because they can and do sell out -- which honestly just proves how good they are. Everything here is done right. The menu items are thoughtfully put together, balanced, and full of flavor. Portions are generous without being ridiculous, prices are very fair, and honestly, I think they may even be low compared to the value you get. The staff is always helpful, and the girl at the counter has been there as long as I've been going -- I believe she's family -- which says a lot about the heart behind this place. Don't skip the market, either. They carry some of the best Italian ingredients, and it adds even more to the experience. Saverino's is by far the best sandwich spot in Redlands, and I'd go out on a limb and put them in the top five on the West Coast. Family-run, local, consistent, and absolutely top notch. This place is a winner and deserves a try. Just one warning: THEY ARE ADDICTIVE!

The menu was so vast that we had difficulty choosing what we wanted to eat. I've already determined that I will go back with my husband to try more items! But for today, I ordered the mushroom Swiss Panini, and she ordered the Caprese on a ciabatta bun. We chose these sandwiches already knowing that we would swap a half to be able to try both! We were not disappointed. The bread on the mushroom Swiss was buttery toasted goodness, and cheese to mushroom ratio was just right. The Caprese was warm and savory, and the balsamic onion jam was absolutely delicious. Very pleased with our visit overall!

The day we went (Friday), they also had clam chowder, so we had to get a cup of that, and it comes with a sourdough roll (which was really nicely flavored, and had a nice dense texture). We ended up getting a turkey sandwich, as well as a blueberry scone and a peanut butter cookie (I mean, we had to wait for the sandwich, and the display cases were dangerous). They were very generous with the sandwich filling, the scone was also delicious, as was the soup. The one flop here was the peanut butter cookie.

The restaurant was very busy, as would be usual for a Friday evening. We placed our order at the counter with the sweetest young woman behind the counter. SHe was patient and explained all the different options to us. It appeared there was only one other person working in the back. Needless to say, orders were deep. There was a man (we assumed he was a food delivery driver), who was visibly upset at the staff because part of his order wasn't ready.

We got back home in Riverside, unloaded everything, and realized one meal was missing from the order. I decided to call the store to let them know. I spoke to Joey, who identified himself at the night manager. I told him how the young woman behind the counter never lost her cool and how busy the restaurant was. Joey apologized for the failure and offered to make it right. We worked together to come to an agreement where we would come back another day and they would replace the missing meal. We came back on the day we said we would. The young man behind the counter didn't seem to know what I was talking about even though Joey said he'd leave a detailed note. No matter, I had my receipt with me and presented it along with a short story of the situation. The young man placed an order in the kitchen for us. We had our replacement meal in about 10 minutes. Honestly people... be nice. It's not hard. Things happen. Just use the nice words you have in your vocabulary and let the restaurant attempt to make it right. We'll be back. Dave's is good stuff.
