Stumbled on this fantastically eclectic coffee shop completely by accident, and am so grateful. After much contemplation because everything sounded so good, I decided on their Coffee Break (one of the specials in April) to try. Never thought espresso and peanut butter would blend so well together, but it does! I also really appreciate that this was flavorful but not overwhelmingly sweet. The one guy working there taking orders and making the drinks was super friendly and helpful. The decor is awesome. Can't wait to be back to try their other creations! read more

Nestled in downtown Covina is Rad Coffee. I don't think their coffee tastes all that great, but it was my only option at the time of visit. They have some pinball machines and games in the back area.

Rad Coffee - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Covina, California

I've only visited Rad Coffee maybe 2x total. I always drive by it and should probably make more trips here. The location is in downtown Covina and parking is available out front, but there's a big lot behind the building. I always love their logo and decor inside the coffee shop. They have a wide variety of coffee and specialty drinks on their menu. They offer build your own drink options and cereal chiller drinks. Not to mention, seasonal and/or monthly drinks. The staff here have been cool each time I have visited. They are friendly and work efficiently fast. The location has so much to offer. They have merch, mugs, and sweets to grab if you have a craving. The aesthetics are very unique and during Halloween time they deck the whole place. The cool part of Rad Coffee is they have pinball machines to play in the back of the location. As far as the drinks. They are delicious. I needed some coffee so I went with the Salty Caramel with oat milk. The drink was ready in about 2-3 minutes. The drink has good level of sweetness and the right amount of caffeine. The boost I needed to get through a busy work day. :D Overall, Rad Coffee has always been well known in Covina and I recommend anyone to come by and visit this one of a kind Coffee shop. Thanks, Rad Coffee! ( ^_^)b read more

Lattes are 90% ice and 10% espresso and milk. I wanted to like it so I asked for a remake and the latte in the photo is the second drink they gave me with "less ice". Broke two straws trying to get them through the ice in the drink? Kind of let this ruin my day. Two stars tho for the customer service, I appreciate the remake! Sorry, I just didn't like the way they make their drinks here :/ Watery lattes read more

Stumbled upon this spot randomly and turned out to be an amazing little coffee shop! Cold brews are fantastic and the cereal drinks are delicious as well. Highly recommend the peanut butter crunch and will be back soon to try the other cereal drinks. There's also some pinball machines in the back to keep you busy while you wait. Lovely staff!! 10/10 read more

Cool service with great coffee. Tucked away in downtown Covina, I stopped by after lunch in the area. Service was very friendly and I got my drink really quickly even though it was mildly busy. I ordered a vanilla latte, half sweet. The prices are good here and the coffee is very bold in flavor without being too acidic. I enjoyed it a lot definitely recommend! read more

Rad not so "Rad" - Ordered a 24 ounce latte ended up getting a 20 ounce - as expensive as coffee is, you'd expect a full cup. Also, the people are not Rad at all - not friendly period! read more

Rad Coffee - Order a 24oz iced latte and got a 21oz. As expensive as the coffee is, you'd expect full cup of coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Covina, California

This cafe is nice and it's cool for anybody to experience as a first time. I don't have pictures of the drinks, but they did have a variety of unique drinks that range from refreshers, frappes, coffees, etc. This cafe is also very artsy, they have nice art on the wall, merch, and even cool retro games to play. However, I do wish this place had a dine in or outdoor dine out as well at least, it's more of a get and go type of cafe where you can walk around and look at the atmosphere and the vibes are cool too as well. I thinks it's worth it to stop by and experience it at least once for anyone :) read more

LIKE TOTALLY RAD COFFEE!! This place is a fun punk themed coffee shop with delicious coffee! What makes it so RAD is the pinball machines! I am a pinball enthusiast so I loved this. We ordered a hot and iced latte with oatmilk and coconut syrup. The coffee was delicious. The store sells a lot of merch. I did find it odd that there was no inside or outside seating. For me personally the pinball machines made up for it but I think that might be a problem for some people. read more

I've seen rad coffee on IG for a while now and have finally made my way to trying it. Ordered the Spanish latte and enjoyed it. We asked for less sweet and I would honestly order it again. We were pleasantly surprised with the pin ball machines in the back! They had a nice collection of them and I was glad they had a machine where we could get change. I will say that it did feel odd inside with amount of random things you could buy, from stickers to mugs, sweaters to other snacks, and more. Like maybe there used to be tables and chairs inside? But they replaced it with all the stuff they're trying to sell. The placement of the merch stuff makes it so awkward, almost like someone just said hey let's just set all this stuff up and see if it sells without considering flow. Idk. Kind of a shame, I would have considered working on my laptop there if that meant I'd be able to take breaks and lose all my dollar bills to the pin ball machines with a cup of Spanish latte. Would I grab another latte if I was in the area? Sure. Would I go out of my way to get it? Nah. read more

Coffee is great and prices are about eh...fair. A cookie is about $5 and I believe it's home made style. If you like the rock, goth style this is your place. It's in Downtown Covina and parking can be a bit challenging on a Friday night. Service is good and attentive. The menu is interesting. It's intriguing if you have a curious mind. read more

Rad Coffee - Overly sweet white mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Covina, California

Rad Coffee is still as fun as always! And, on my most recent visit, I learned that they either rotate the pinball machines or occasionally get new ones. Staff were very helpful in making recommendations, particularly with the seasonal menu. This menu is listed on their socials and website, but is just on the counter in the shop. Some of the flavors were a little too funky and sweet for me, but their standard menu is always good. The blended drinks are definitely more like ice cream than coffee. read more

I always like the atmosphere inside Rad Coffee with the rock music and spooky theme. The staff are always friendly and nice. The pinball machines in the back are fun! They must have them on rotation because I don't recall the Jurassic Park one from my last visit. They even have a change machine! Although this visit the machine wouldn't take my dollar. I classify these beverages more as a dessert. The drink are on the sweeter side. Whereas other coffee/tea shops I can maybe get another drink, here it's a one and done. But it's a nice treat when I do occasionally visit. The matcha blended was good and perfect for a hot day! read more

Rad Coffee - The Ripper - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Covina, California

Good- I showed up on Sunday around noon and the cafe inside looks very cool. They know what vibe they're going for and always pull that punk rock/rockabilly ambiance well. This place even has some cool pinball machines too. I didn't notice any decent place to sit in though, aside from these cool pink hands for seats that's outside and tucked away right by the entrance. Also, the young lady that made my drink was very kind and accommodating to change my drink last min, I originally asked for one of the Spanish lattes to be with oat and later asked to change it to soy, and she was very gracious in accommodating with no issues. Thank you to her. Bad- my Spanish latte I ordered was intended to be in a large. The lady that took my order either didn't hear me correctly, or I misspoke (possible that I didn't say the size). That's entirely fine and ok for those to happen. We're human and mistakes happen. What's not ok, is when I kindly say "I'm sorry, but didn't I order one of these lattes to be large? I might have misspoke" is for her to respond "Oh no you didn't, sorry about that" and walk away. To be specific, her tone wasn't mean, but she was dismissive and had absolutely no interest in helping me make the drink the way I preferred, especially since that's basically her job. She could have easily said "I'd have to charge you for the larger size, if I do remake" and I'd be entirely ok with that, and the right thing to do. Her "bare minimum" attitude and disregard to help me is something I hope Rad doesn't intend support. Also, my drink was made wrong. My girlfriend's drink was made right with half the sweetness. Mine came out with same low sweetness, even though my sticker states Spanish latte with soy. In short- nice vibe, but terribly dismissive service (aside from changing my milk substitutions) read more

Super cute place! Come on over if you want to play pin ball as well! Warm and efficient service. I had a berry non caffeinated tea- very refreshing. Friend had a pretzel coffee thing. We wish it came in a larger size. read more

Plenty of parking in front or in the public parking lot. This used to be Starbucks but is an upgrade! Just got regular black coffee and it was good but it was their vibes that stood out! This place has soo much merchandise that is unique and colorful! They have stickers, shirts, shorts, and even a bag to carry around your coffee cup. Their snacks are personalized (pop tarts with skulls) and unique too with a waffle cookie. It's a really cute place! read more

Rad space, almost Rad menu, & some work to get a more Rad staff perhaps... Great specialty menus for holidays, with a lot of Pumpkin options for Halloween for example! Menu itself has some staple sweet drinks, along with the traditional espresso based, and even fun "Frappe" type drink options... the big problem is, their staple specialty drinks all come in a THIRTY TWO OUNCE option as a base. If you attempt to deviate from that insane "7-Eleven Big Gulp" volume, apparently they have no choice but to literally remove the Cold Brew element from the drink entirely-which imo, completely changes the drink and its intended flavor composition. So, after being told that they literally didn't have any option to sell the drink at a reasonable size without taking out the cold brew, I had to order the 16oz specialty "Great White" without the cold brew, told her to fill it half way (which she did not by the way) and then ordered an entire Cold Brew separately without ice...... then proceeded to go outside and add the cold brew to make the drink as intended (with cold brew) since the staff refused to do it. Service was, shall we say, terse.. I thought it was a bit ridiculous to only offer a drink as a 32oz, and asked the barista if many others had voiced similar thoughts, which she rudely responded "Nope! You're pretty much the only one!" with a clear attitude. Not accommodating, and even failed to follow instructions with drink prep. Perhaps some extra customer service training from management (or upper management) could help. Very cool Arcade in back, with skater vibes in merch and apparel-love that ethos-though that chill atmosphere not represented by staff very well unfortunately. With an ALMOST cool menu, but not the friendliest staff or much in the way of making or ordering the drinks the way you'd like-or expect-it's a definite "maybe" on trying this otherwise would-be cool spot. Hopefully they'll address the lack in customer service, and the need to make logical adjustments to menu items sometime in the near future. I won't swear this place off, as there's lots of room for attitude adjustment and improvements. I'll look forward to coming back to hopefully see some RAD improvements! read more

Cute spot with a cool vibe, but the drinks didn't quite hit. The sea salt caramel tasted more like salt water with no real coffee flavor, which was disappointing. The Spanish latte was also overly sweet--you could barely taste the coffee, the matcha was not good either . I was also surprised there was no logo or Rad Coffee name on the cups. On a positive note, the staff was kind--the girl working was nice enough to switch out my drink, which I appreciated. read more

It took me a second to get here over the years. Not sure why but glad I stopped in tonight. Came in and grabbed a matcha latte on this chilly night. Matcha was not too sweet with a slight taste of vanilla and I had it with oatmilk. Taste was pure and not artificial with any sweeteners like those big chain coffee shops. Staff was helpful and friendly. There are all sorts of branded Rad Coffee stickers available for purchase as well as merchandise from T-shirt's to caps and packages of coffee and even keurig pods! I'll be back to try some of their cereal killers blended drinks and maybe purchase some coffee beans to make at home. Although I'd rather have them make my coffee lol. Parking on the street was easy. read more

3.5-4 stars (The oddest thing... I know I wrote a review months ago, right after visiting, but it has since disappeared. So here it goes... again.) Rad Coffee has been on my "to try" list for quite awhile now, but I did not get a chance to stop by until one morning after an appointment. This Rad Coffee location is located in Downtown Covina, and if I remember correctly, this location used to be a Starbucks years ago. I parked in one of the parking spots along Citrus and used the crosswalk to cross at College St. There were a few people sitting (with their own chairs) outside of Rad Coffee and a few customers here and there on a weekday morning. For such a "large" location, there are no tables/seats anywhere. If you want to "linger" to catch up with friends or family, there are a few pinball machines, but other than that, it is a grab and go type of place. Mocha (hot) 16-oz. I usually do not order Mochas, but I figured why not. When I visit a coffee shop for the first time, I like to order a signature drink, but most of the drinks were definitely out of my price range. The Mocha tasted great, but it was not amazing, mind-blowing. It was not overly sweet and had a great balance. I know Rad Coffee is more well-known for their sweet, cold coffee drinks, but I am not usually a fan of those. Like another Yelper mentioned, there are old school punk vibes, and there are show notifications plastered all over the walls. Customer service is okay and coffee is good. Other than that, it's not on my go-to for coffee, unless I am in the mood for something different, or a treat. read more

We found this place by accident but absolutely thrilled to have discovered it as I love everything Halloween and vintage related. The store has a great theme of classic monsters with a mix of punk rock. Highly recommend trying their specialty drinks - which all have the most creative names. I ordered the cinnamon toast cereal chiller. First of all, the presentation was beautiful and loved everything Halloween single sip of it. It had a bit of an horchata flavor but with a bit of caffeine and some cereal in it. One of my favorites - can't wait to go back and try more flavors! In the back of the store, they also had some 90s arcade games. Very rad! read more

Had a coffee date and he chose this spot. I was glad he chose this spot because I have been to the one in Upland and I really enjoyed their drinks. They have a variety of drinks to choose from espresso to lattes to ice blended and even teas. The cashier provided great service as he recommended seasonal drinks they had. And I didn't even notice it upon his recommendation. I got the seasonal Matcha peppermint and my day got the cinnamon toast crunch. The Matcha peppermint was delicious until everything melts down and it's hard to drink because the Oreos were in big chunks. I think my date had the same issue with the cinnamon toast crunch cereal getting in the way. But if you take off the lid and grab a spoon and get the bits and chunks that are in the bottom, it taste delicious. The only downside is there are no places to sit to enjoy your drink. There are only a few benches outside. However, you can take it with you as you walk downtown. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for coffee that is different and yet delicious to try, check this place out. read more

Rad Coffee's 12oz black coffee costs $2. The wait time is short; the coffee is strong; and it's smooth (not cardboard bitter). It's functional and satisfying. However, its paper cups are too thin. After 30 minutes, I noticed very light dripping from its corner bottom. I recommend quickly finishing the brew or doubling up cups. Service: They are open Thanksgiving Day. I arrived early with no line; two baristas were already working and chatting with another. The service is quick. Ambiance: There's no seating inside. It has a pinball arcade in the back. There are a couple seats outside but very limited. Overall, Rad Coffee is dependable. It's quick, satisfying, and reliable in its caffeine. read more

We love going to new coffee shops and see what we can get different. I ordered bones&brew and my wife had the great white. We love our espresso so would be great to see how this went. We could taste the coffee but not as much as we are used to. It was four shots of espresso in each of our drinks but in our iced one didn't taste as strong. The decor and vibe of the shop was loved all the pictures, decor, music, and everything it had to offer. If they just had a bit stronger espresso/taste that would have been top notch experience but doesn't mean I wouldn't go back to try it one more time. read more

By far the sickest coffee shop + arcade I've ever visited. Horror + GPK vibes mixed with games and coffee is genius. Absolutely loved the service, greeted within 10 seconds, offered assistance and suggestions. Just finished having juice down the street but came in for the merch instead. Highly recommend checking out Rad Coffee in Covina when you're in town. It's a chill spot and cool vibe. Found plenty of parking on the street, but keep in mind I started my day in downtown early. This block is hot with horror vendors, skate, juice, coffee, to margaritas. Rad Coffee is a great addition to the community, wish we had them here in the Dena! read more
