Got a 12oz Iced Mocha today. It was so good! I was concerned I wasn't going to like the mocha flavor or be too much, but that wasn't the case. I will definitely get again, but I also want to try their other drinks and flavors. Employee was so kind and helpful. read more

This little coffee stand is located at the bottom floor of Loma Linda Faculty medical group building. It is right by my work so when I need real coffee, this is where I go! The coffee is good. I get the americano and it is strong like I like it. There's one person running the whole thing so there might be a wait but it's not bad. Overall, it will do. read more

Finding this place takes a few extra steps if you don't go to school or work at Loma Linda. BUT well worth the find. I purchased the cold brew and it was hella decent. Fast service and a nice pick me up. Flavor was decent and loved the variety in sizes. Be careful can get busy randomly by workers or students. read more

Food: The drink was surprisingly so good. I was not expecting that. I got the honey cinnamon latte w/ oat milk and it was perrrrfect. There's so many flavors to choose from and if you're looking for a place with plenty of options, then this one is it. Service: The guy was so patient, and he explained the menu, he gave me suggestions, and made pleasant small talk. Cannot complain there. Ambiance: Ok, I cannot expect it to be super aesthetic and a place to sit down and do work (unless you work in the hospital or you're a family of a patient there). It is inside one of the Loma Linda Hospital buildings but the good thing is that means plenty of free parking, and the cafe is immediately downstairs and there is an elevator nearby and visible to those who need it. One star is down for my personal preference because this place could be an incredible hit elsewhere especially because their little corner looked aesthetic and organized and clean. If they were in a cafe in a shopping center with light and color all around and they could choose their own seating and chairs and have outlets they would do great. However, I realize that LL staff, visitors, and patients also benefit from this so you know maybe they're doing just fine. read more

Lo Melinda. Loma Linda. Whoa, my brain la. What was originally a coffee truck is now a coffee stand in the Loma Linda FMO building. So for healthcare workers and patients alike you can get your fix of good quality coffee here. And mind you, it's pretty good coffee. They don't use bad beans and they mix the lattes up pretty well so it's not just a sugar overload. I like a good hazelnut latte and surprise surprise, they do a good hazelnut latte. Frankly, there's A LOT of flavors so just close your eyes and point, you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, this is a good coffee option if you're seeing your doctor (or working as one), getting labs drawn, or if you wanna just grab coffee. read more

I'm adding 1 star because their coffee's actually good, and often times the service is good. However, today I walked in at 1:15pm and they told me they're closed. When I asked "don't you close 2pm on Fridays?" , the girl relied "I'm sorry, we closed a little earlier today." To me, 45 minutes is not a little earlier, it just screams poor business ethics. read more

came by between classes to try out this new coffee stand inside the ureach cafe. my friend and i ordered the iced maple brown sugar lattes and we both thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. finally a place on campus with some caffeine woot woot!!! read more

Lo Melinda's Buzz and Bloom - iced maple brown sugar latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Loma Linda, California

Heard so many good things, so Iw as excited to try and support this small business. However, I was super disappointed with the customer service. Woman at the counter was super rude, kinda passive aggressive, even when I asked for the cup sizes she aggressively told me what they were, even when she pointed out the cups themselves she used what I consider a very condescending tone and I felt like to her I was the most annoying person in the world. She obviously needs signage as explaining things seems just too much for her I guess.. To top it off, drinks were ok. She charged for honey for one of our drinks, but it needed a lot more... maybe she should have asked how much. I'm sad, bc I was hoping it would have been a better experience especially with such a cute design, but the attitude and ambience were not worth it. Won't be coming back, will definitely not recommend. read more

This place was easy enough to find with tons of parking the morning we went. This is a coffee truck though, so that means no indoor dining and there was chairs for people to sit. There was a university near by so I imagine during the week, specifically during the school year, they might get busy, which is not bad but it is nice to know it is in the area. They didn't appear to have any food options available, but they did have a decent drink menu and tons of syrup flavorings, more than it feels like the average place would have. The cappuccinos were average, not sure I'd go back again for the coffee, but maybe for the convenience. One unique thing about this place is they had cute handmade punny greeting cards for sale. The lady in the truck didn't seem very welcoming, but wasn't rude. I expected a little more excitement, but it was a Sunday morning, so maybe people were sleeping in or tired. read more

The coffee was OK. My friend got me a gift card to this place, and I had not even known it existed. So I went to find how I can go and get coffee here. When I looked the information up on Yelp, it was incorrect and I ended up showing up not once but twice when they weren't even there due to this misinformation on Yelp and in Google. The website didn't work, the hours were incorrect, and the phone number went to a Google number that wasn't answered. It was all futile until I happened to check their Instagram. Apparently, that is where they keep ALL of their updated information, including when they weren't open on 7/5. I would recommend that the owners use an Instagram profile link as their website instead of the one that is there currently that has a 404 error. I would go back to try something different but was surprised that their info was so incorrect everywhere. read more

Strong coffee with different flavors and friendly service just adjacent to main campus. Very quick and convenient instead of standing in line for a chain coffee shop. I was out in less than 2 minutes. read more

We were in the area and needed coffee for all the errands! Hopped on Yelp and found this gem. What first grabbed my attention was the name - too cute! The truck is adorable too. Just got a basic iced mocha. It was SO DELICIOUS!! I was only bummed because I wish their biggest size was just a little bigger. I'll definitely be stopping by if I'm in the area again. read more

I'd heard lots of great things about this place and I was excited to try it out. "Lo Melinda's" is a cafe located in San Bernardino County's city of Loma Linda. Its name is a play off of its hometown, and a very clever one at that! They offer warm drinks and other products to help you get through your day. My fiancé happened to know of the baristas and they struck up a conversation while I checked out the menu. One of the things I like about places like this is the fact that you can have a short chat with the workers and that helps with being comfortable to order and order more. I had the toasted marshmallow mocha with almond milk. Maybe it was the flavor pairing I chose but I didn't really taste too much toasted marshmallow but it still tasted great! We were there at a time that seemed pretty chill so there wasn't too much foot traffic. This shop may serve coffee, it is in a medical building with white coats and scrubs everywhere. Tables and chairs are there for your convenience and the lighting is great for the indoors. Parking can be a challenge but not impossible. All in all, I enjoyed my drink and would love to pick up another. Support this local business and share this with your fellow coffee drinkers! read more

Great customer service! A nice stop for coffee or tea at Loma Linda FMO. I highly recommend this coffee spot

To all the loma linda university peeps, this is for the coffee lovers! I loved coming here to get the mocha! Super close to campus, and it's RIGHT next to a little breakfast place that serves some good breakfast burritos. The owner is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet! read more

It's a great spot that is a nice walk from the hospital. I bring my team here for an afternoon pick me up. They have a variety of different beans from the various cities that the seventh day Adventist colleges are at (e.g Napa roasting company). Also with fun names like "Randy Roberts" (a local pastor) for the Arnold Palmer. They have the standard variety of syrups for their espresso and the cold brews. read more

My go to place to get my chai latte fix! It is a coffee truck that is located very close to Loma Linda University - a 5 mins walk from the library or hospital. I always order iced chai latte with oat milk since day one. I like that the sweetness level is just right, I can taste the spices and even see them, and it is not watery at all even with ice. They also sell some flowers and cards, which I think is very cute! I took a point off just because on some days the chai hit me more while on some (very very) few times the flavor wasn't really read more

The girl running the stand today had a total shitty attitude. It was towards me for some reason. She was laughing and talking to the girls right before me. She looked annoyed to take my order and I had been wanting to try this little cafe for years! Every time I came they would be closed so I was excited. I was happy I was smiling I said please and thank you and she looked like she didn't want to talk to me. Coffee wasn't even that good I was disappointed. read more

Really appreciate their service to the medical community during the covid shutdown! Such a blessing :) Big fan of their iced tea lemonade, the Randy Roberts. Update: the rose lemonade is amaaaazing!!! read more

Lo Melinda's! You are a long time coming! Since working at LLU for about 3 years now, I always wondered why no one has capitalized on the lack of legit coffee that everyone is desperately looking for. I temporarily had that fix when Boba Tea House was on campus for a time. But when they left...I was hurting. I saw a friend post about this place not too long and I thought it was on the other side of the hospital, so I never really thought to check it out anytime soon. Fast forward to last night, where I left work at 7:00pm, got called in around 11:30pm, left around 1:30am, called back in at 5:51am and here til 7:00pm today. To sum it all up, I'm exhausted. I was thinking of driving to Stell's or Augie's and on my way, I remembered this place! So I popped it in my GPS and got lost and couldn't find it! I ended up parking and thankfully they had an option to text your order and picking it up. So I texted the number to ask how to find them! Whoever was responding to my texts was very helpful and I eventually found them! They're on the cross street of University and San Juan. I love their Adventist Heritage coffee names and the different roasters they have. I ordered a honey cinnamon latte with oat milk for my coworker and I. Delicious! I'm telling everyone about this place! So happy they're here! Check it out for yourself! read more

This is my second visit and I love how the espresso tastes! I ordered my husband and I each an iced Maple and Brown Sugar Latte with Oat Milk. He actually commented on the flavor being much better than chain coffee places. I understand that the flavored syrups are homemade too. This coffee truck is very cool. I'm definitely coming when I can. The hours make it hard for me to stop by on weekdays. They also sell flower arrangements and cute handmade cards. You can also pick up some branded merchandise while you are their should you fancy it. read more

First to review! Lo Melinda's is a new coffee truck that just started in October 2019 and is parked across the street from Cafe Society. They're definitely trying to meet a huge demand from LLU students and employees since the next closest coffee shop from campus is Starbucks on Mountain View ave. They source their beans from different roasteries next to the major SDA colleges, from Walla Walla Roastery to Mean Mug Coffee, The Mill Coffee & Tea, Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company, & Coffee del Rey. My wife ordered a chai latte and I ordered a cappuccino. The chai latte was a little too sweet but it had a good chai flavor. The cappuccino was great and had a very smooth taste. Since it was both of our first time there, the server was very nice and gave us a buy one get one free deal! Hours are currently Monday - Friday, 6am to 2pm, and Sunday, 7am to 2pm. We'll definitely be back again! read more

Yummy coffee, friendly owner and staff, and great location. Go grab ur coffee before 2:00 pm!

Finally, a coffee shop in Loma Linda that nods towards our Adventist heritage. They've got beans hailing from sister schools at Pacific Union College to Walla Walla. Got the E.G. Flat White that did not taste overpowering compared to the other flat white I've had. read more

First of all, the name is SO cute!! I tried the iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it was delicious (I regret not getting the bigger size). I tried a sip of the iced chai and it was just as good. The location is right by LLU, which I am super excited for because this will definitely be my go to for a quick coffee run before class. I can't wait to try different flavors! read more

This was a great stop before a full day of studying and school. I'm definitely going to recommend everyone at my school to come here. I got an iced chai tea with almond milk and honey. And ooooh my gooodness best chai I've ever had. And let me tell you, I am super picky with my chai. They also add unique flavors like butterscotch on their menu which is pretty neat. The lady working was very nice and patient with me (it was my first time there so it took me awhile to figure out what I wanted). And they also sell cute little cards. read more

I always pass by this little beverage truck and think "it's so cute I need to stop by." One day my boyfriend and I were on a walk and finally did. Turns out they are also supporting us healthcare workers and provided us with a couple of free drinks! Wow! Very generous, friendly, and delicious. Nothing but excellent things to say. Will definitely return, and as a paying customer this time :) Thank you so much again for generously donating a couple of drinks to us!! You got us hooked and we're coming back for more! 10/10 would return again read more

For me 5 stars means something special; beyond expected competency in taste, skills, and service. This coffee spot has it in spades. To find good/excellent coffee in a place where Starbucks dare not tread was a welcomed surprise indeed. To have my triple lungo cappucino and a triple lungo mocha latte with oat made perfectly for me like a fitted Italian suit was a true pleasure. The extra, was when I return the next day... ' would you like the same? I tried you order yesterday and let me give you just a tad more cream floated on top..., tell me what you think and if you don't like it let me know and I'll remake it like before.' Wow! Now I know where my caffeine oasis is located. read more

It is NOT an exaggeration to say that Melinda has converted me into a coffee person. I came here with some friends, and ordered the iced latte with cinnamon honey at first. It was sooooo delicious that I went back every since day that week to try out all the flavors. They are generous with the amount given (unlike sbx which fills half the cup with ice), and the flavors are ALL so delicious (trust me I've tried them all). The only flavor that I don't like as much is the hazelnut but again, a minute detail. Hands down the best coffee in Loma Linda! read more

Got the iced almond milk mocha and it tasted a lot like the drinks at the Napa valley roasting company.

Would recommend this place! read more

Love this place. Their coffee and employees are amazing. Super nice and fun to talk to if you have the time. Perfect location for those who are students or employees at LLU. Iced vanilla latte is my go to. Not too sweet and has great flavor in comparison to some shops whose flavor overpowers the taste of coffee. Sometimes they give BOGO cards. Wish they had stamp cards though! Hope they start one, if they haven't already. And if they have, they should definitely hand those out lol. read more
